Kollen Hall Men Speak on New Rules

by Dick Emmert (Before the reader begins it is

only fair to warn him that this writer does not profess to have developed a scientific system for survey-taking such as the Gallup Poll or tht Kinsey Report; how-ever, it is felt that a fair cross section of opinion from residents of Kollen Hall are herein pre-sented.)

When any group of people must live together for any period of time certain rules and regula-tions seem to be necessary for the benefit of all. This year, with one eye on the past and one on the future, a system of enforce-ment was drafted at Kollen Hall by the Junior and Senior Head Residents with the approval of the Administration, a system which it is hoped will make the men's dormitory not only a more "conducive to academic achieve-nient" but also a more agreeable place for those who must spend the greater part of the year in it. • The main attempt of this ar-ticle is to air the opinions of the residents since, as one disgrunt-led sophomore put it, we had ''no say in it."

The newest residents of Kol-len Hall, the freshmen, felt the rules and regulations for the dor-mitory were quite fair, as, indeed, did the greatest majority of the students interviewed. The only disaffection came from two trans-fer students who felt that this was regimentation, an infringe-ment upon individual freedom and privacy.

Dutch Critic

To Lecture To

English Classes Mr. Adriaan van der Veen,

Dutch novelist, essayist, and lit-erary critic, will speak to Dr. De Graaf's third and Dr. Savage's fifth hour English survey classes on Friday, October 5, in Van Raalte 207.

The topic of the lecture will be "Writers I Have Met." All students having third or fifth hour free on that day are invited to join these classes.

Some of the writers Mr. van der Veen could include in his talk are: Hendrik Willem van Loon, Graham Greene, E. M. Forster, C. P. Snow, Angus Wilson, An-thony Powell, Robert Lowell, John Dos Passos, Thomas Mann, Michel Butor, Robbe-Grillet, Marguerite Duras, Uwe Johnson, and Eve-lyn Waugh.

Mr. van der Veen has traveled extensively in France, Italy, and the United States. In 1954 he be-gan a lecture tour for univers-ities and colleges throughout this country.

Among the books Mr. van der Veen has had published are: Geld Speelt de Grote Rol, Wij Hebben Vleugels, Zuster-ter-Zee, Het Wilde Feest, Spelen in het Donker, and Deen Alsof. Some of his collections of short stories include: Jacht in de Diepte and De Man Met de Zilveren Hoed. In addition he had written essays and introductions to anthologies. Many of his works can be obtain-ed in English.

The only ruling that was ques-tioned was the one just added this year. "No vending or solic-iting of any kind shall be carried on in the dormitory." It was strange to note that even among the resident advisors there was a difference of opinion. Only two freshmen felt that the dorm was "not the proper place for it", while the opinion of the upper clasmen could be summed up in the statement of a junior resid-ent: "in a town like Holland where everything is closed on Sundays" it is good to have a place to go to get something to eat other than what is offered by the vending machine. When approached as to the reason for this ruling, the R.A.'s (Resident Advisors) said they felt that it not only caused a disturbance but that it also tempted the "little capitalists" to make ware-houses out of their rooms. As for the former, resident opinion seems to indicate that the dis-turbances caused were negligible and that if some resident wanted to take the "risk" of a "small business" his stomach would be happier for it.

Still along this line, the R.A.'s have promised that at the first House Board meeting they will discuss the possibility of opening up the dorm kitchen in the eve-ning. Residents interviewed were unanimously in favor of this idea.

The second question was, "Are you in favor of the system of enforcement; that is, fines rang-ing from fifty cents to two dol-lars for breaking regulations?" Again, the freshmen interviewed were in complete agreement, feel-ing that some form of enforce-ment was necessary. But there complete acceptance ended! Soph-omore comments ranged from

Student Council

Seeks Answer on

Possible Dancing by Rick Brandsma

In order to supplement the somewhat shocking "newsflash" in last week's anchor concerning the possibility of establishing a temporary student union, I would like to clarify and expand the ideas the Student Council is con-sidering at the present time.

First I want to make a few corrections. The idea of setting up a student union with dancing was not a part of my campaign. However, there seemingly is a definite need for a student social center and I feel it is my respon-sibility to see that this demand is met. Although the Juliana Room is a possibility for the lo-cation of such a student center,, there were other sites suggested which would serve as adequately and lead to fewer complications, one of these sites being the Kletz.

Secondly, the plans for such a student center are still very much on the drawing board. Be-fore the Council takes any defin-ite action along these lines it is felt that we must have some index of student opinion as to the establishment of a temporary union.

Therefore, the Council will ap-preciate your filling out the fol-lowing questionnaire and filing it in the box in Van Raalte lobby. The Council also reminds you that your opinion is extremely important if such plans are to be carried out. The ability to cause the desired effect lies with the student body.

The Student Council (should) or (should not) pursue plans for a temporary student union.

Plans (should) or (should not) include dancing.

Six Sororities In Middle Of Fall Rushing

Sorority rush for this fall began last Saturday with teas given by Hope's six sororities— Alpha-Phi, Delta Phi, Dorian, Kappa Chi, Sibylline, and Soros-is. Every rushee was required to attend each of these teas to be-come eligible for the remainder cf the rush events.

This week each sorority pre-sented a literary meeting. These were held on Tuesday, Wednes-day an^ Thursday evenings, and each rushee was required to at-tend three.

Next week, for a short time in the evening, an informal coffee-break will be held by each sor-ority, Girls may come and go as they wish but must attend three. This will be the last event before the final teas. • The final teas will be held on

Saturday morning, October 6, and will be followed immediately by the bidding meetings of the re-spective sororities.

The bidding system will be the Sfirae used for the first time last spring. The sororities will mark thpir choices, and bids will go out, but a clearing-house will al-ter any double-bids or other dif-ficulties. (All bids will be sent to the dorms and various houses on Saturday afternoon, October 6.) , Freshmen are not eligible for

fall rushing. Only sophomores, juniors, seniors, and transfer stu-dents are able to join in the rushing program.

New Building

To Be Added

To Campus Alma, Michigan — The Mich-

igan Synod of the Presbyterian Church, recently authorized a synod-wide campaign for funds to build a new library at Alma College. This action, according to college officials, makes it quite likely that construction on the new. building will begin next spring, '

The new library, to replace one built: in 1888, will provide seating space for approximately 500 per-sons and shelf space for about 107,000 volumes. Estimated cost of the building is $850,000.

Girls Cottages Elect Leaders

In the nine cottages on Hope's campus, elections have been held for the 1962-63 year.

Winners of the supreme office in each house are: Beck, Cheryl Yeager; Crispell, Joan Van Slag-eren; Doesburg, Cindy Hill; Mandeville, Phillis Van Lande-gen; Oggel, Barb Boike; Scott, Jane Benacker; Taylor, Lynne DeYoung. UVTr-- •

"The Union Party of 1936"

Powell's Theme for PhD. David Powell, an assistant

professor of history a t Hope Col-lege, was awarded his Ph.D. in history from Ohio State Univers-ity this August.

Powell's dissertation topic was "The Union Party of 1936". The Union Party was a third party which nominated a presidential candidate in opposition to those of the Republican and Democratic parties. One of its chief support-ers was Father Charles E. CougHin of Royal Oak, Mich., and its chief purpose to bring about the defeat of Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

A faculty summer grant from Hope College was received by Powell in order to complete his Ph.D. work. In the summer of 1961 he was assistant director of Hope's Vienna Summer School. This is his third year teaching at Hope.

Dr. Powell was born in Ro-

chester, Pennsylvania, and grad-uated from Grove City College, Grove City, Pennsylvania. He earned his M.A. from Miami University, Oxford, Ohio. He also spent three years studying a t Ohio State before receiving his Ph.D. there. . .

Dykstra Introduces Teaching 'QuizKids'

A new concept of teaching is being used by Dr. D. Ivan Dyk-stra. In the Introduction to Phil-osophy he is using what he calls "Quiz Kids." These students, majors f rom various fields includ-ing philosophy, leading the phil-osophical inquiries are; Jean Louret, Lynn Vande Bunte, Barb Walvoord and Jack Jenner.

Using students Dr. Dykstra feels that the students in the quiz sections will be f reer with their questions than with adults. "It is an extremely important part cf education to be articulate with your peers," Dr. Dykstra said, and through the "Quiz Kids" this is being accomplished.

Upon being questioned about the idea of being a leader one stated tha t he fe l t inadequate but af ter the .f irst session in which he felt uneasy he was

really happy that he had been chosen to be one of the "Quiz Kids."

Baker Travels

To Europe Dr. Tunis Baker, professor of

science education at Hope, rep-resented the college this summer at the World Confederation of Organizations of the Teaching Profession in Stockholm, Sweden.

Dr. and Mrs. Baker arrived in Stockholm on July 17, and there joined 400 other educators rep-resenting 75 countries. The thieme of the conference was "Education in a Technical Age." A highlight of the conference was an address by former President Eisenhower at one of the general meetings.

WCOTP is a confederation of teacher associations to promote the welfare and raise the status of the teaching profession throughout the world.

While in Europe Dr. and Mrs. Baker toured the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway and Scotland. Dr. Baker took this opportunity to make an independent study of the educational systems of these countries. He intends to use this information as a source for lec-tures and articles.

Weekend Social Chatter by Carol Timkovich

As campus chatter flashes again from ear to ear, af ter a long summer of transmission-by-letter, here's what Hope-ites are saying: . . . that the Frosh-Soph Pull is a mere week away. . . . that "those-in-the-know" this year usually get much of their info from Graves new ground floor! With the anchor newsroom and the smoker both down there, it seems there's a lively cross-current of news . . . or gossip . . . or . . . that Homecoming plans, under the general chairmanship of Judy De Ryke and Darell Schregardus, are nearing comple-tion well in advance of that glorious day. In fact, even the half-time escorts for the queen's court have been named, though the queen and court themselves won't be known for a while yet!

Now let's leave the social side-lights and focus on the highlights.

KAPPA DELTA CHI Last May 11 Kappa Delta Chi was formally initiated onto Hope's campus. Members have planned what they hope will be an active and successful year. Officers a re : Jane Woodby, president; Gail Fridlington, vice-president; Patricia Sayler, secretary; and Norma French, treasurer. Sue Radliff, Betty Slot, and Phyllis Yea-ger are members of the Pan-Hellenic Board, and Betty Dietch and Betty Bruins are the Kappa Chi's Student Council representatives.

The sorority colors are gold and ivory, its flower is the white rose, and the uniform will be camel blazers and skirts.

Kappa Delta Chi extends its congratulations on the engagement of Phyllis Yeager and Ted Hoek-man. DELTA PHI Already crossed off the Delphi cal-endar as having been completed are one business meeting, one houseparty at Mary Jane Mills' cot-tage, one work meeting, and the first rush tea. Delphis are still looking forward with anticipation to next Thursday's rush lit meeting in the Jul-

iana room, and making plans for their Homecom-ing float materialize.

Sandy Cady was elected the Delpbis' sophomore Student Council representive, and Delia Kuiper the sophomore Pan-Hellenic member. Nancy Zwart has been named keeper of the archives. KAPPA BETA PHI Last Friday night, the Dorian sorority held their first regular meeting, with a Hilarious Hat theme. Under the topic of "new bus-iness", the Dorians found that the new year had brought much to talk about—Homecoming, Dorian date night, Fall Rush, and Informal and Formal Initiations.

A serious paper was given by June Davis, and Karen Crandle followed with a humor paper which proved that Mr. Columbus was NOT the first person to set foot on the "good-ole" USA! ALPHA GAMMA PHI Fresh, cool, Lake Michigan air, hot dogs, and hard floors provided the environ-ment for the first meeting of Alpha Phi, the fall houseparty. To begin the year, the business meeting included discussion of Homecoming activities and Rush, and congratulatons to two members, Marilyn Elzinga and Sandy Lovett, on their engagements over the summer. OMICRON KAPPA EPSILON The year of Frater-nal is well under way, with two formal meetings already held. New officers for the year are Don Mitchell, president; Paul Cramer, vice-president; Doug Johnson, recording secretary; Tom Wolterink, corresponding secretary; Tom Cousineau, sergeant-at-arms; and Marv Dekker, intramural manager. One Frater laments, "And this is the year we're to be organized!"

At last Friday's meeting, a t which Mr. Anthony Kooiker was a guest, Fra ters discussed the new dorm. Homecoming, and Rush. The Fra ters extend-ed wedding congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. John Hoekstra, Ken Quakkelaar, and Bill Harms.

to hold over our heads, something to scare us into obeying," while another student thought some form of vigilante committee might prove better: "Let each wing take care of itself. Why, if someone acts up down here we'd take him out to the tennis courts in his P.J.'s. He'd shape up a f te r a while."

I t was asked of those students who opposed the Fine System if they had an alternate system. One student did, suggesting that point system might prove to be a little fairer. Under this system a resident who managed to re-ceive a certain amount of points would be faced with either a sizable fine, or appearance before the House Board. The only trouble with such a proposal, as another resident put it, would be that everyone would see how much they could get away with before being fined or brought be-

fore the House Board. One fear often expressed was

of the arbitrary position of the resident advisor: The rules, as they stand now, permit them to "fine whenever they see fit." Be-cause this apprehension seemed well-founded, the Resident Ad-visors were asked about it. Their answer was simply that no res-ident would be fined without first being given a fair warning, and that if ever a resident felt he was unduly fined he retained the right to appeal the decision to the House Board. ; There are, of course, two sides

to this story. Last year it was the residents who were, in a sense, "arbitrary". Since the R.A.'s had no system of enforce-ment except dismissal from the dorm in the most serious cases or a "chat" with the Head Res-ident in the less serious, the res-idents could continually disregard warnings for minor offenses that , unfortunately, can make life just as miserable for the other resi-dents as can more serious infrac-tions of the rules. Th^is the plac-ing of this "arbitrary power" into the hands of the Resideht Advis-ors.

Student's View of Prague, Communist Country's Capital

by Barbara Walvoord At 4:00 p.m., fifty-six Vienna

Summer School students were sit-ting in the buses a t the Czech border, all excited about the com-ing weekend in Prague. When the young guard saw us taking his picture, he held his rifle self-consciously, blushed, and stepped quickly behind the bleak little border station. Beyond the sta-tion, the row of barbed wire and the strip of plowed land stretched out over f la t plains.

Then Paul, our new guide, step-ped into our bus. He was a young Czech student, dark-haired and plainly dressed, who glanced at ur and sat down a little awk-wardly at the front . We started off over the Czech countryside, toward Prague.

The next afternoon, af ter the tedium of money-changing, we three girls ambled down the main street of Prague. Suddenly, there was Paul, following us hesitant-ly. "Where are you going?" he asked.

"Mmm, just walking." "I will walk a little with you,

if you don't mind," he said, look-at the ground.

Together we walked through the streets of Prague, and soon stepped into a restaurant. As we sipped our orange drink, Paul sat with his back to the window, facing the frightening aspect of three American girls, and their questions.

His home is in a small village, but he is presently studying economics at the university in Prague. He pays no tuition, since all schooling is paid for by the government.

The government is everywhere. The waitress who served us works for the state, as do vir-tually all workers in Czechoslo-vakia. Some are paid more, some less. "But who decides which

workers get more p a y ? " we ask-

ed. "The wage is determined by

one's usefulness to the state," Paul answered. We must have looked puzzled, for he continued with the air of a patient econo-mist explaining to women, "For instance, if the state needs min-ers in one par t of the country, it offers a higher wage there. Workers who go there earn more, because they are fulfilling the most urgent needs of the state."

Czechoslovakia is in the second year of a new five-year plan. We asked, "Was the previous plan successful?" Paul answered quietly tha t the state had ex-ceeded its former five-year plan, and tha t life in Czechoslovakia is gett ing better and better. .

After many more questions, we finally decided to s tar t for home. It was hot and muggy in Prague that day, and as we rode on the dingy, dirty tram, we looked around a t the grey buildings and rather drab shops. People were noticeably overweight—a result, no doubt, of a starchy diet. We saw people queued up in lines, waiting for rationed meat, and for fresh f ru i t . The woman tram conductor came around in her dark, baggy uniform, collected a ridiculously small fare, and push-ed on through the sweating people. m

We lef t the tram and walked toward the hotel. Paul walked with us now, and smiled shyly as we talked. Another question was still in our minds. We began with a feeler: "Are most Czechs Catholic rather than Protest-a n t ? "

Paul thought carefully, then answered, "Most Czechs have no religion. A few old people still hold to Catholicism, but the young people have no religion.

"La Strada" Questioned From

A Christian Point of View Editor's Preface: In a letter

submitted to Anchor this week, Dr. Gerhard Megow suggested the following idea for thought af ter seeing the film. "La Stra-da," shown on campus last week.

"Take some unstable and un-savory characters; put them in a dilapidated set t ing; add alter-nating scenes of passion, vio-lence, and tender sentimentality; mix well with ideological and philosophical phraseology; sea-son it with jargon from the gut-te r ; call it LIFE in capital let-ters and—Bingo!—you have a successful film!"

The following comments are also f rom his letter:

What is the theme of the film? "The Road" — a symbol for life —from nowhere to nowhere ? Moments of "existence" — in a secular existentialist sense aris-ing accidentally and disconnect-edly during a kaleidoscopic jour-ney from nowhere to nowhere?

Or is it, "Don't yap about life all the time, shut up and live it!" as "Zampano" repeats to shut off the persistent curiosity of his "girl-wife"?

Or is it that man cannot de-

mand the pleasures of life while refusing to shoulder its responsi-bilities? Life does not leave him alone, no matter how often the defiant "I want to be left alone!" is hurled against the world.

Perhaps it is this: No matter how often a man, by expand-ing his "chest" with the will power and indomitable strength of his spirit, bursts asunder the chain tha t life puts upon him, in the end life will prevail and man will succumb? . . .

Or: the sensitivity of the ar-tistic individual character por-trayed by "the fool" rebelliously and pathologically drives him to goad and torment the "brutish" contentment of the inartistic in-dividual? "I may be to blame", says the artistic "fool" a f te r he has needled his pursuer into a mad rage, "but he had the knife

Questions! Questions! Questions! Not to speak of the most import-ant ones, namely. What does "La Strada" have to say to a Chris-tian? . . . and. What should and must a Christian say to "La Strada"?

Hope is not just any college community, but one which, through the Singularity of its Christian commitment, claims to have answers to this welter of questions. . , i

To this viewer, . . . the tech-nique of viewing modern ar t where the observer is l e f t dang-ling with his own sensations does not seem adequate for the pre-sentation of such controversial films a t Hope College. I t is there-fore his opinion that the real discussion on "La Strada" has not yet taken place.

We can get along perfectly well without it. We do not need it."

"But," we continued, "if your people have no religion, what do they believe in?"

Paul answered quickly and firmly. "We believe in life and progress."

"Life," said the dark-haired woman sitting in our hotel room that evening, "is very hard here." Mrs. Williams was a native Czech who now lives in Ohio, but had returned to Prague to visit her parents. We had met her in a corner candy store, and she had offered to come to our room in the evening, to tell us about what she had seen in Prague — with the stipulation that we were not to mention her coming to Paul, for fear of trouble for her or her parents.

In June, Mrs. Williams said, there were no more potatoes to sell to the people, so they pulled the new ones out of the ground too early. "Runty little things," she sniffed," and you stood in line to buy them."

And we said, "What about the church here?" Mrs. Williams shook her head. "Jus t about dead."

The next morning was Sunday. All stores were open, and life was as usual. We walked to a large, modern Catholic church — the newest one in Prague, built in 1953, I t was 10:00 on Sunday morning; we walked into that lovely, modern church building, and everything was still. No priests in sight, no mass being said, no confessions being heard, almost no people there. A few old women were bowed in the pews, or moved heavily down the aisles to kneel stiffly a t the shrines. The church seemed dead. There remained Life and Pro-gress — and potato lines.

DAILY NECESSITY—Families form a queue daily to buy food

staples in Prague.

Students' DissentingCries

Heard Round The World by Richard Brand

Freedom, peace, and democracy seem to be the most used words in the latest international stu-dent journals. Communism is blasted on all sides by students in countries faced with political crisis.

A student refugee from Com-munist China reported that the editor of Chung-huo Ch'ing-nien Pao (China Youth Daily) ran a "letter to the editor" column sim-ilar to that of America's Ann Landers. A co-ed asking the edit-or about marriage, received a re-ply of congratulations and encour-agement. Unfortunately, the ed-itor forgot to tell the bride-to-be that one of the things she had also better plan on is separation. In the editor's "new Society" the consideration of "labor" and the "Fatherland" overrides family relations and it happens very often that soon a f te r a wedding

Kennedy has Mixed Emotions by Jack Cook

President Kennedy rode the roller-coaster of national politics this week as a feeling of elation over the passage of his Foreign Trade Bill was followed by de-pression when the House cut con-siderably the proposed funds for his foreign aid program.

The Senate passed the presi-dent's Foreign Trade Bill by an overwhelming vote of 78-8. The bill, which was strengthened while in Senate Committee, will now move to a joint Senate-House Committee to be reconciled with the versions which passed the House last June. This isiindoubt-edly the administration's greatest victory of the year in Congress, but even more than this, i t proves that both Democrats and Repub-licans can still work together for essential legislative advance.

I was beginning to wonder. An active House this week

ignored President Kennedy's re-quest for restoration of funds to his drastically cut Foreign Aid Bill and passed it with a cut of $1,124,400,000. As the bill moves on to the Senate for ap-proval majority leader Mike Mansfield concedes that full re-storation of funds is impossible. However, Senator Mansfield hopes to restore $600,000,000 to $700,000,000 of the cut. Perhaps if the State Department could convince the House that the money won't be spent for feather dusters in Laos (don't laugh— it actually happened) they could obtain more funds.

Other action in the House in-cluded the passage of the Ad-ministration's request for stiff

one partner is transferred to an-other province. She escaped to * the free-world to tell her story and fight communism.

Independently-minded students in Ghana continue to f rus t ra te President Kwame Nkrumah's efforts to eliminate a "dangerous" freedom of opinion in the univer-sities. I t seems that the aura of near-idolatry with which Nkru-mah's followers surround him has failed to impress the more crit-ical—and better educated—young men and women of Ghana's ris-ing generation. They are espec-ially sensitive to any hint of state control over education. I t came as disturbing news to many, therefore, when President Nkru-mah not only gave his name to the nation's newly established university — now the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology — but also as-sumed the office of Chancellor.

Less inviting is the change of address of Cuba. Formerly, Cuba was found listed in the "Free Western Hemisphere", now, it is in the list of communist coun-tries. Former students of Cuba presently classed as refugees have organized and printed a paper. The Cuban Repor t The reports are very accurate and are confirmed by recently arrived refugees — material witnesses of events — by diplomatic sourc-es and by the Intelligence of the Directorio Revolucionario Estud-iantil in Cuba. The students have no hopes of fur ther education but have instead dedicated their lives to fight for freedom. The Cuban student's attitude is very strong:

"The Caribbean is stained in red with the Cuban blood . . . its waters take our sorrows and sac-rifices to all the beaches of the continent The Communist Reds* arms may be better, but their soldiers are a t the service of slavery, of the wicked commun-ist regime. We (Cubans) serve God and Fatherland, our symbols are the cross of Christ and the flag of the solitary star, eternal values that no materialistic phil-osophy will ever eclipse. We have faith in the U.S."

Students of Malaya, the Phil-ippines and Thailand are sup-porting the Association of South-east Asia (ASA). The nature of this new three-nation alignment is unusual because of its com-pletely regional character and non-partisan aims: to promote economic, cultural, and social cooperation.

In the U. S., our President is still pushing his Peace Corps. Over 3,996 young people of our country have volunteered their service to the corps. Premier Khrushchev denounced the Peace Corps and its aid to under de-veloped countries as a "tool of Imperialists."

MAIL Responsible letters, regardless

of opinion, are welcomed and will be published. They should be no longer than 200 words, submitted by noon Wednesday, and signed. To conserve space, editors have right to edit.

Improvement Noted Congratulations on the first

editions of the anchor! I t should be easily evident to everyone who read them tha t we again have a dynamic voice on campus in the form of our college newspaper. There is a definite need for a publication on our campus which voices not only the majority view-point but the minority as well, for us to grow as individuals and as a college community.

May I make one suggestion for fu ture papers: tha t the editorial page be more clearly designated as such. /Norma French

Dissent is O.K. While I also found Jim Mich-

merhuizen's article — "Preamble to Year: A Three Ring Circus" — full of disorders and gross exag-gerations, I should like to address a thought to Dave Bach. I agree with your sentiment, Dave, but I hope it NEVER will be possible to say that articles such as Jim's will be censored from the Hope College student paper. Jim Micb-merhuizen may enjoy his role as a two-bit Philip Wylie (Genera-tion of Vipers) but that is his concern. The fear of censorship should be all of ours. The freedom of dissent is already too (dead' in tMs country. Let's not add to it at Hope College no matter how much we may dislike what we read. /Philip Develder

Fun and Winning Those who are still stunned, curious or dis-

gruntled, or who are still pulling all the way with this year's football team following last Saturday night 's shellacking by the Valpo 11 must be aware of two principles of Hope Col-lege football:

1) Our team plays football with the express purpose of "playing for fun."* Each member of the athletic department has repeatedly stat-ed that Hope College athletics is and will re-main just one par t of college life with academ-ics receiving the top priority. Using this prin-ciple Hope does not enter a game or season for the sole purpose of winning, no matter how difficult and tougb the competition.

If "winning" were the first principle, Hope might be giving athletic scholarships, having spring practice and devoting more time to fall practice.

2) Because Hope athletics are run under the " fun" principle and not the "win" principle,

and because other schools such as Valparaiso and up-coming teams like Eastern Illinois play with "winning" as their sole purpose, Hope has declined as a football power. Athletes of the caliber which attend Valpo do not matriculate at Hope for the sad reason that money often speaks louder than tradition, character and Christian influences.

Hbpe is in the same league talent-wise as Ashland and most of the MIAA schools. Hope is no longer the power which dumped Hillsdale off a 5-year winning streak several years ago. Hope's sole purpose is not to be able to beat Valpo, Eastern Illionis or Muskingum.

Because of this attitude most Hope support-ers are proud and will cheer the team to vic-tories. Hope is not a giant killer in football, although with a little confidence and less per-sonal pressure, an occasional giant which sneaks into the schedule might be subdued.

*A paradox: can a team play for fun without winning ?

Dancing Not for Hope

I refer to the article in last week's anchor by Dave Bach, "A View From Other Side on Life at Hope College." I quote:

"I am more specifically annoyed . . . While many colleges contin-ually change moral values and ideals according to the current social climate, Hope College has standards which mark it as dis-tinctively individual among other colleges. Hope College was estab-lished, and now a f t e r many years of hard work is thriving, on Christian standards. Hope grad-uates throughout the U.S.* and the world are living lives which show that going to a college with Christian standards does make a difference. Yes, Hope College and Holland, Michigan, a re unique — it would be wrong for them not to be."

This should be your answer as to why the Board of Trustees and the administration up to this point have not allowed dancing on the Hope College campus. Let's remain a distinctively individual college with Christian standards that do make a difference and not conform to the molds of the world. /Phyllis Toppen

Peace Corps Success During the past year, the

Peace Corps has developed from idea to reality, a feat which could not have happened with-

, out the spontaneous and strong support of the entire community of Higher Education.

For you have helped to place 820 Peace Corps Volunteers in 14 countries overseas. Teachers,

-farmers, mechanics, they have

done their job so well that every country has asked for more and 20 more nations have requested new projects.

Although our job lies in coun-tries which request volunteers, we believe strongly that the Peace Corps is so vital that it can't help but effect those who become involved with it.

A year from now a group of men and women will be return-ing. Our hope is that many of them, uniquely dedicated, will re-enter the community of High-er Education. The Peace Corps will have begun to repay, in some measure, the debt it owes to you all.

We shall continue to need your active support in this exciting undertaking. By Jan. '63 we plan to increase the number of volun-teers in the field from 820 to al-most 5000. With you help we will continue to build on the solid base of the first year's ac-complishment.

It certainly gives new students and faculty a fine introduction to Hope College.

Hope Home For Harriers Quadrangle

Cross-country coach Daryl Sie-dentop displays optimism about Hope's chances of winning this afternoon's quadrangular meet which will begin at 4:00 p.m. on the new athletic field east of the campus. (Admission to the meet is free, so all those inter-ested in cross-country are invit-ed to watch Hope's harriers run.)

Teams competing in the cross-country meet will be Aquinas, Grand Rapids Junior College, and our own Flying Dutchmen. The two junior colleges should not offer much trouble, and Hope has beaten Aquinas in both of its last two meetings. The race will only cover three miles due to the junior college ruling.

Tomorrow morning Hope's ci oss-country squad will travel lo Wheaton, Illinois, where it will run against two of the best cross-country teams in the mid-west, namely; Wheaton (enroll-ment 1,800) and Loyola Univers-ity of Chicago (enrollment 10,-140). The contest will offer Hope the stiffest competition it will meet this season.

Co-captain Bruce Welmers does not expect to run in either meet because of an Achilles tendon in-jury.

Last Saturday, in Hope's ini-tial meet of the season against Valparaiso University, Bill Har-beck of Valparaiso set a course record of 23:23 on the never-be-fore-used cross country course at Hope College. On the challeng-ing course, Hope was a victim of Valparaiso's recruiting tactics and lost 10-34 despite a strong effort by Dirck De Velder who placed fifth. Also finishing for Hope was John Nyboer in eighth, Vem Sterk in ninth, A1 Hoffman in twelfth, and Glen VanWieren in thirteenth.

Frosh-Sophs Prepare For Annual River Pull

Aching muscles and high spir-its characterize the feelings of both the sophomore and fresh-man pull teams. The annual Pull will be held October 5, starting at 3:45 p.m. at the Pull site on Black River. Practices for both teams have been going on since September 19 with two practices being held on Saturday.

The sophomores will be led by senior Dave Fugazatto, who is chairman of the Pull Committee aided by Jack Jenner, Rich Bak-ker, and Marv Dekker. These coaches feel that the practices are going well and are optimis-tic about the results. There are approximately thirty sophs out

for the event and they will be trying to avenge last year's dunk-ing.

The freshmen will be com-manded by Ken Dulow, John Koe-bel, and Bob Bautr. They feel this year's pull will be better lhan last year's and it will be a tough one to win because both teams have shown exceptional ability. There are thirty-eight freshmen out for the Frosh.

Before the Pull both teams cut to twenty members each.

Dutchmen To Travel To Wheaton For Final Pre-Season Contest

Tomorrow afternoon a t 2:00 p.m. Hope College will play its third and final preseason foot-ball game against Wheaton Col-lege at McCully Field in Wheat-on, Illinois. In this away game, Hope must face a team with great speed according to Mr. Alvin Vanderbush, who scouted Wheaton game last weekend.

Wheaton was undefeated last year and returns this year with almost the identical team. Crus-ader coach Jack Swartz has Jeff Roberts at quarterback, Kent

Ilutcheson, and "Sonny" Kee at halfbacks, and Albie Harris at fullback.

The Saturday Evening Post perennially lists Wheaton among the "Best in the Midwest" in the r .ma l l college football ranks. The 1958 squad, the first of two unde-feated, untied Wheaton teams, won eight straight games and was ranked seventh by UPI am-ong small colleges nationally. In the same year the Crusaders es-tablished 36 new records in the College Conference of Illinois.

Valparaiso Crushes Hope, 48-0 Outmanned, outplayed, a n d

oatcharged, Hope College suffer-ed its first defeat of the 1962 football season last Saturday night at Holland's Riverview Park as Valparaiso of Indiana bombed the Flying Dutchmen 48-0 before a capacity crowd. The loss was Hope's worst in history.

Hope players came out of the game good physically. The most

land of Ohio game. Valparaiso's steamroller of-

fense simply ate up the yardage against the Dutch, getting 231 yards rushing and 189 yards passing, while holding Hope to 3 yards rushing and 88 yards passing. Although Hope showed glaring weaknesses in the defens-ive line and secondary, Valpar-aiso, with a greatly superior team and great speed, completely

serious injury was a leg injury dominated the game. Valparaiso's to Jim Van Dam. Captain Jim multiple offense quickly ran up Bultman was unable to play in an insurmountable score and its the game because of a leg in- hard charging defense completely jury which occurred in the Ash- thwarted the Hope offense.

ANOTHER TRY—An unidentified Hope back is brought down by a Valparaiso player in a game held last Saturday night. Valpo won the game 48-0.
