Homecoming Is Next With H o p e C o l l e g e 1960

Homecoming weekend fast ap-proaching, Homecoming Com-mittee co-chairmen Roger Ach-terhof and Nancy Sonneveldt are busy coordinating their com-mittees and arranging for last minute changes in the schedule.

The theme this year will be "The Sound of Music" and will be manifested in the float par-ade and house decorations. The activities will begin Thursday evening in Kollen Park, when, at 7:30 P.M., the new queen, elected by popular vote of the student body, will be coronated in the bandstand.

Following this, a reception for the queen and her court will be held in Phelps lounge. Judg-ing of house and dorm decora-tions will take place Friday night. All decorations are cen-tered around the theme, and many novel and original ideas are expected.

On Saturday morning, at 10:30 A.M., the parade of fra-ternity and sorority floats will progress down the main streets

of Holland. At noon, several of the or-

ganizations on campus will hold luncheons for their alumni, and at 2:00 the Homecoming kick-off will arch above the assem-bled crowd of alumni and stu-dents at Riverview Park. The opponent this year is a team from Muskingum, Ohio, known as the "Fighting Muskies", and the colorful halftime ceremonies will be typical of a homecoming weekend.

Open Houses in all living units will follow the game. Hope College thespians will offer a performance of "Riders to the Sea," and a repeat performance of "Way of the Cross". The Homecoming Ball, probably the gala event of the weekend, will be held in the Civic Center, this year in an oriental setting. On Sunday afternoon, a faculty re-cital will replace the traditional Homecoming vespers.

Schedules with more specific information about Homecoming events will be distributed to the students this week.

Two Plays To Be Presented Two one-act plays, an Irish

folk drama and a religious drama, will be the speech and drama department's contribu-tion to the 1960 Hope Home-coming. The plays, "Riders to the Sea" by John Millington Synge and "The Way of the Cross" by Henri Gheon, will be the nights of October 13, 14 and 15 in the Music Building Audi-torium, with curtain time set for 8:15 p.m.

Rehearsals for both produc-tions have been in progress for two weeks, under the direction of Mr. David Karsten, of the drama department. "The Way of the Cross" was well received last year when presented on several occasions by the Re-ligious Drama group. "Riders to the Sea" is a new play for Hope thespians.

"Riders to the Sea" revolves around a simple Irish woman, who loses all her sons and her

husband to the sea. The drama unfolds around the occasion of the death of her youngest son, even while her second youngest is missing and presumed dead.

Nancy Raymer, a senior from Belding, Mich., appears in the role of Maurya, the t r a g i c m o t h e r . Barbara Walvoord, Oradell, N.J., sophomore and Nancy Rees, Brooklyn, N. Y. sophomore, appear as Nora and Cathleen, Maurya's two daugh-ters. The part of Bartley, the youngest son, is taken by Lewis Scudder, a junior from Kodaik-anal. South India.

Jane Van Tatenhove, Holland sophomore, Ruth Flikkema, Jer-sey City, N.J., junior, Milton Nieuwsma, Holland sophomore and Bob Jaehnig, H o l l a n d junior, appear in supporting roles as Irish folk.

"Way of the Cross" is an ex-tract from a larger play, "The

Pull Today

Tradition Reigns High As Does Excitment Black River Fox-Holes or the Story of the Hope College Annual Tug-of-War",

was the way in which The DETROIT FREE PRESS went on to describe the history of the pull in the following fashion:

"Hope alumni generally agree tha t the first pull took place in 1898. The men of the two lower classes casting about fo r some way of demonstrating their physical abilities finally procured a rope and hied themselves a few blocks from the campus to a 10-foot creek on Fairbanks Avenue and there launched an event which has become an annual classic.

Who won the first pull depends on who is telling the story, but one thing is certain in those early days and that is that the Tug-of-War was a contest to be won and in all probability many sideline skirmishes occured.

The Tug-of-War has grown from a spectacle in which two teams merely stood, lay or sat until one or the other w a s dragged through the stream, to an organized sport where team members are trained in digging entrenchments with bare hands or sticks, anchor men learn how and when to take up slack in the rope, and pretty coeds give constant attention to aching muscles and backs

Interesting sidelights on the Hope College Tug-of-War are many. In 1913 after several minutes of pulling, anchormen frantically gathered in slack, mighty cheers went up from both sides, and both t e a m s quickly rose to their feet mov-ing from the. river. The rope had parted in the center.

Onlookers are amazed when the signal to pull is given to see the rope visibly shrink in size from 21/2 inches to well be-low two inches in diameter un-der the stress.

"In 1935 the pull lasted only 6 minutes. This was the year when George Douma, '36, a senior, introduced rhythm to the sophomore team. Up until this time rhythm had been used to a small extent, but it was carried on largely by the crowd who were apt to be off beat in sec-tions, thus causing a lack of co-ordination.

Then you pul l . . . Then . . . ?

Frosh Orientation Is A Success

Douma acted as coxswain and before the freshmen had time to realize what was happening they were out of their holes and into the river."

"Four ropes have been used in this 50 year old classic, the present one for the last decade. When Dr. Milton Hoffman, '09, . . . returned from a year's study at Oxford, he remarked on seeing the pull, 'This beats anything I have ever seen in England.' "

It is pull time once more at Hope with a few minor changes. Eact team is now limited to 18 men plus two alternates for each team. The pull site was changed to its present place on Black River. The men now use shovels to dig their holes rather than their hands. They begin to dig their holes at 3:45. The Pull begins at 4:00.

Spirits are high on both sides according to the coaches. John Burggraaf and Tom Riekse are frosh coaches while Jim Betke, Bill Harms and Bob Mulder lead the sophs. Co-ordinator of the entire pull is Dan Ritsema.

Good Luck '63 and '64.

This year's Freshman Orien-tation program had several new and significant changes in it, which corrected many of the old faults from other years. Co-chairmen of the program were Linda Gordon and Jim Thomas.

The most important change in the program was the system of having student counsellors made up of upper classmen greet and help the newcomers.

Editorial

Education - Exciting? It seems to be more common for us students to be asleep than to

be awake in our classes; that is, more common to automatically take down, as in dictation, what the professor says, than to fill our notebooks with thought-provoking questions which the teacher asks or which have arisen in our minds during the lecture and discussion.

It seems more common to s h r i n k from being called upon in question and answer sessions than to be eager to con-tribute our ideas to a dynamic discussion — dynamic because students are involved, because the conclusions reached make a dif-ference. In fact, it's hard to remember even one dynamic class discussion.

It seems more common to skim through an a s s i g n m e n t than to read extra material to answer questions aroused but not answered in the assignment. And if you ocassionally happen to be stimulated by an assignment or lecture, you're allowed that priv-ilege, but don't be disappointed if you can't find anybody with whom you can share your new insight and enthusiasm.

If you don't agree that this type of education — spoon-fed without a qualm and swallowed without indigestion — makes for a deplorable situation, you need not read further. But if you think this is a sad situation, join me in examining possible causes for it.

Is it possible that we do not really know what it means to be a student, or we forget; and forget so often and find so many others forgetting, that it no longer bothers us ? Even if we realize that our study and classes are dead to us, perhaps we do not have time to change the situation — time to become involved in study, to read and assimilate outside materials, to get enough sleep to contribute and profit in class.

Going to the other side of the podium, it may be just as hard to be a good teacher as it is to be a good student. A teacher must have continually-growing knowledge and insight, and enthusiasm for a subject he feels is vital for study; as well as an alert and eager class. Such a teacher can stimulate and guide, rather than stand over as taskmaster to be sure all have "mastered" the as-signed subject matter. Such a class can feel they are involved in the process of real education.

That's the really big secret — being involved, and this has been said before. Being involved means there is a constant inter-action between our ideas and those we read or hear expressed, be-tween what we know and the knowledge the teacher demonstrates, between ourselves and the personalities we meet in literature. Being involved leads to growth and delight in education.

We have been thinking here about ideals. The practical limi-tation of having only 24 hours in a day may keep us from reaching the ideals, but thinking about them should at least keep us from the horrible assumption that we have a right to satisfaction and self-respect as tape recorders, even though we're capable of good play-back in January.

Letter to Editor

Minutes = Demerits ? There is nothing I like better

than asking questions. So, if I may be permitted, I should like to ask one relating to the new "System of Late Minutes" for women who reside on Hope's campus.

Is it possible for the late minutes which are supposed to work as a time allowance, to also be stretched to incorporate a punishing devise for those who are "uncooperative" in an e n t i r e l y different area ? One element of time may fairly con-ceivably be deducted for an-other, but it seems to me (and remember my job is merely that of a questionerer, not the an-swerer) that it is illogical to substitute one particle of any-thing for that of something else.

Is it not true that in the process of substitution o n e changes the total consistency of the intended mixture?

Carl's Back - After Some Struggle

U.S. Education Standards Questioned Today taut with natural elections and threatening competition

from other powers, Americans are questioning their educational standards. Should we be questioning? Yes, if there is room for improvement.

We picture our democracy like the freedom of the bird. But think of the dodo. Like the dodo, when one has all the necessities, there is no impetus to strive for something more.

We are analogous to the dodo bird who sees no use for wings in the respect that we are satisfied. Americans do not pride them-selves on their knowledge of literature or history but do on a question of importance like what is Jack Paar really like?

Why question? Are we not producing scientists, teachers, and ministers? Yes, but what happened to the ideal of creating the whole-being who is at home with himself, his God, and his society. Somewhere the individual has melted into the "well-rounded-stero-type" who shrugs the responsibility to himself to develop into a whole being.

Although education is personal, the pupil must be guided and stimulated into being a student. Recently in a national magazine, college students at an eastern college were so stimulated by the freedom of the curriculum that they were looking forward to va-cation so that they could do further study for the sake of intel-lectual curiosity.

Here for instance, look at the proportion of students compared to the whole who attend the civic concerts, see a P.&M. play, or hear a critic lecture on T. S. Elliot. Far be it that people do not have the time, because one devotes time to the things he wants to do.

Why would people rather watch a football game or Maverick on T.V., than read a book, listen to Bartok, or just take a walk for the aesthetic enjoyment? Today the cry is give me pizza and chianti but let the other person take the responsibility.

America, being the strong-hold of freedom, must educate for freedom. Without education or the worse alternative the suppres-sion of freedom, how does one know what freedom is? One would agree, only with freedom not controls can the person mature to the full individual. This is realized only when educators guide not lecture, and blase pupils become disciplined students not conform-ists. • v 4

by Milton Nieuwsma Man won his b a t t l e

against the forces of na-ture, and Carl Tidd, Hol-land's Community Ambas-sador to Sweden, returned home safetly af ter a bout with Hurricane Donna on the Great Atlantic.

The 21-year-old Hope College junior recently told of his sum-mer's adventures—and the one that almost brought a tragic climax to his trip and that of 10 other U.S. student repre-sentatives.

"We ran into this storm four days after leaving La Havre. Our group was on an old ship, the Ascania, built in 1929, Carl said. (This is the same ship that transported the Vienna Summer School students from New York to La Harve last June!)

"The high waves beating against the boat caused the porthole in my room to cave in, and when the water started rushing through I joined some 300 other passengers on deck."

Uncover Life Rafts Carl said the crew started re-

moving the covers from the life rafts that night. Later he heard a log check revealed the boat had sunk twice previously dur-ing storms and one time had broken a rudder and was left drifting on the Atlantic for two days.

"This wasn't the most pleas-ant feeling," Holland's Ambas-sador said. "I began to wonder if I'd ever make it home. We finally landed in New York City a day late."

Carl said the Queen Mary passed his ship three times while returning home. He took the bus from New York City to Holland where he arrived Fri-day night, September 16, just in time to register for classes on Saturday.

Holland's Community Ambas-sador left on his summer's tour of Sweden and other parts of Europe from New York City aboard the S.S. Grotebeer, a Dutch liner, on July 12.

Prepares for Questions "While I was on the ship I

was told to prepare for ques-tions regarding everything from the U-2 incident to the presiden-tial election. I was told to re-frain from talking about the Ingemar Johannsen-Floyd Pat-

terson heavyweight fight," Carl said.

His first stop was Rotterdam, T h e Netherlands, where the strict time schedule of the ar-rival and departure of trains gave the group of Amercans, consisting of six girls and five boys, considerable trouble.

"One thing about the trains there," Carl said, "they're al-ways on time, not a minute be-hind schedule as they, are in this country."

He said in order to alleviate this problem, his group organ-ized what they called a "window game."

"Since most of us had two or more pieces of luggage and had difficulty getting in and out of trains on these short stopovers, a few of the boys would throw the suitcases through an open window and the rest of us would catch them on the platform.

"The operation took us just one minute, and you should have seen the crowds it drew."

Few English-Speaking People

Carl said when he arrived in Sweden he was a "little upset" to find so few English-speaking people. In fact, no one in his Swedish family in Amal, could speak English. But he soon ad-justed.

Carl told about his youngest, 11-year-old brother, H o k a n . "Somehow we started talking about the fight—even though I was told on the boat not to mention it—and I was surprised to hear little Hokan say, 'Pat-erson is best! Ingo has too many girls.' After that we got along just fine."

Holland's Ambassador com-pared Swedish food to Dutch food. "Theirs certainly beats ours," he said. "For our first breakfast we had a variety of fish, eggs oatmeal, o l i v e s , pickles and coffee."

Carl said a half hour later while he was still full everyone took a coffee break which in-cluded a large assortment of cookies, cakes and rolls. "It wouldn't have been so bad if I could have taken my choice from all these things, but in Sweden it's polite to take every-thing that's offered you."

Explains Dining Etiquette At dinner we ate slowly and

took our time. Each one had four or five cups of coffee. I noticed that everyone held his

fork in his left hand and knife in his right, and that everyone in the family was very polite to each other. Everything w a s passed in a very polite manner and whoever asked for some-thing was expected to say 'please' and 'thank you.' "

Carl said the Swedes have a great respect for older people and that the younger ones are supposed to bow to their elders when greeting them.

"The families in Sweden are very close", Carl said. "They do everything together." He said other members of the family of-ten helped their father, a florist by trade, in his 14 greenhouses.

Carl said the Swedes are not as agressive as Americans and that they are "more shy and re-served." "Our family w a s shocked at the violence they saw on an American detective show when they watched television one evening."

Sweden Neutral During War Carl pointed out that Sweden

was neutral during World War EE and that its neighboring country, Norway, which fought with the Allies, was occupied by the Germans. This has caused some bitter feeling between Norway and Sweden.

"I could sense this bitter feel-ing when I was in Norway for a short time. I spoke Swedish to a girl in Oslo and she just ig-nored me." Carl spent one week of his two-week travel period in Stockholm and o n e week in Dulsland, situated in northern Sweden.

"I noticed the facilities in some public buildings were 'co-educational.' To avoid embar-rassment each person using a rest room was required to hang a sign on the door stating if the room were occupied by a man or a woman."

Carl then visited Salians Gar-den, an antique resort in the late 1800s and operated by a wealthy, eccentric German who had odd ideas about Americans.

"Americans Very Lazy" "Every day he planned to

have a three-mile hike for us Americans. We left early the next morning, and, after walk-ing several hours and wonder-ing when the hike would end, found out that three Swedish miles equalled 18 American miles. We spent the next, day

Deep thought produces wisdom dur ing the discussion groups

Great pol i t ical minds encourage Christians to enter politics

Class of '64 Elects Officers The organization of the Fresh-

men class began taking shape Thursday, October 29, when the officers were elected.

Heading the class as presi-dent is David Hollenbach. He is a native of Holland and at-tended Holland High. While in that school, Mr. Hollenbach was in the National Honor Society, worked as an Associate Editor of the Annual, was a Major of-ficer on the Council, and was re-warded by being Valedictorian. He is eighteen years old and likes to play basketball and golf.

David Mouw, 18, is in the position of vice-president. Mr. Mouw is from Grand Rapids and attended South Grand Rap-ids high school.

Jackie Schrotenboer, c l a s s secretary, is also from Grand Rapids. She attended Grand Rapids Christian and belonged to the Future Teachers and Horizon Clubs. Her interests in-clude sewing, sports, and music. Miss Schrotenboer is eighteen.

Finishing out the list of of-ficers is Mary Klein. Miss Klein is eighteen, native to Fremont,

Michigan and attended Fremont

Public High. She was secretary

to the Student Council for two

years, secretary of the Fresh-

men class, belonged to the De-

bate Team, and entered the

speech contest. Her interests

are in Foreign Relations, sports,

and playing the piano.

For all indications, these of-

ficers will prove to be good

leaders of the Freshmen class.

Anchor Copies Today as every week the Anchor supply is limited in that each student and facul-ty member will receive one copy and one copy only of the paper. Each extra paper you take is depriving some other student of his paper for which he has paid when registering. Subscriptions for the Anchor are only $2. If you want a paper sent to a relative or friend, fill out the enclosed form. But, please refrain f r o m helping yourself to some other student's paper.

"Campus Gods were put on trial" last Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at the second an-nual Geneva Conference held at Camp Geneva on Lake Michigan north of Holland. More than 150 students and numerous fac-ulty members and guests at-tended. Ron Beyer and Kathy Ashe were co-chairman of the event.

Dr. Harold Englund, presi-dent of Western Theological Seminary, was the keynote speaker Friday evening. In ef-fect, he was the judge presid-ing over the "trial" and the stu-dents of the college made up the "jury."

Gods such as education, sci-ence, pleasure, security, a n d materialism were each given their hearings, yet ^ach lost its case in composing what ought to be the main goal in a stu-dent's life.

With stirring illustrations Dr. Englund showed how each of these goals is not able to fill the real need each individual has in his life. He pointed out that throughout history, people have

been striving to gain security in the worship of the aforemen-tioned "gods." Yet for all their striving, it is now conceivable that in the event of an atomic war, persons in the areas of it will know that only four min-utes of life remain. In this short span, man would be alone except for his relationship to his God. God would remain as the only thing that could not be taken away from man.

After having considered the entire world in the scope of his first discussion, and concluding with man alone with his God, Dr. Englund concentrated on the later subject when "court" again resumed Saturday morn-ing.

He suggested that in the fu-ture, the only sane persons on earth in the face of atomic warfare would be Christians be-cause they alone know that they have something that cannot be taken from them.

Following this address, each conferee took part in three dis-cussion groups: Is Hope College a college for Small Christians;

"I suppose a lack of funds, or a mistaken idea that young people never be-come tired, contributed to the fact that there wasn't one davenport or comfort-able chair on the campus.

"Voorhees lounge boasted the Colonial clock and an upright piano as the only two pieces of funiture. We stood up after dinner while we visited or sang — simp-ly because there was no place to sit ourselves down, except on the bare floor — and young people never, but never sat on the floor in public places thirty-five years ago!

"I think the average stu-dent of Hope today is more conscious of world affairs — perhaps a natural result of the step up in communi-cations, but it is a gratify-ing and encouraging sign.

Man's Personal Relationship to

his God, and Your God and

Your Goal in Life.

"The urge to go to college is greater than it was forty years ago, partly because of choice, but much the re-sult of social and business pressure. There seems to be few lost souls here at Hope; they all appear as a well - adjusted, h a p p y ,

friendly, purposeful group." Mrs. Van Eenenaam has no

idea how long she plans to live with us on the campus, but with her sincere interest in young people and their affairs there is positive evidence that the cam-pus hopes it will be a lengthy residence.

N e w C o l l e g e Pastor Has Younges t Frosh on Campus

Kollen Hall now has claim to the youngest "freshman" on campus. He's two and a half year old David Philip, living in Kollen Hall with his father and mother. Rev. and Mrs. Allen Cook. David is a Palestinian refugee adopted by the Cooks in 1958.

This young man's father is the new Director of Kollen Hall in addition to being College Pastor, a newly created position here at Hope.

Rev. Cook has had an exciting and extremely interesting back-ground, making him well-quali-fied for the work he will do here.

He was born and raised with-in twenty-five miles of Hope College. Upon finishing the eighth grade, he decided to quit school in order to "make much more money" which he did for five years. He did go back to school, though — long enough to complete studies at Western Seminary where he was gradu-ated in.1940.

From that time until the pres-

the Christian Park Reformed Church. Later he worked in a new housing area and in 1955 organized the Keystone Re-formed Church.

All of this was interrupted several times by trips to Saudi Arabia. Here he worked under the Board of Foreign Missions for one year, and five years serving oil company personnel.

Rev. Cook and his wife have travelled through thirteen dif-ferent countries a r o u n d the Mediterranean. He has visited all of our mission fields except those in India. In an around-the world trip in 1958, he vis-ited stations in Singapore, the Philippines, Hong Kong, For-mosa, and Japan.

Now, as Hope's College Pas-tor, Rev. Cook will be doing per-sonal counseling and will be available to help students with problems in their spiritual lives. His office is in room 106 Van Raalte. He is working as new advisor to the "Y" organization and serves on the Religious Life Committee. . We welcome Rev. Cook and

The "jury" of students had the

So the final verdict was in.

However the "book" wasn't for-

Participants left the conference

with a zeal to live the "results",

for they had the assurance that

the One God couldn't be taken

from them.

In his concluding remarks at

the conference, Dr. Irwin Lub-

bers, president of the college,

stated that the Geneva Confer-

ence has become one of the

spiritual highlights of the cam-

pus year, and he expressed con-

fidence that it would grow and

further envelop the hearts of

students and faculty at the

college.

With these words of challenge

and encouragement, Hope Col-

lege can look forward to many

highly enlightening Geneva Con-

ferences in the future.

Mrs. Isla Van Eenenaam, Alumnus, Returns to be New House Mother Attracted to her alma mater,

Mrs. Isla Van Eenenaam, newly appointed h e a d resident of Voorhees Hall, is again living in the dorm which was her "home away from home"when she was a student.

Since she graduated from Hope in 1924, Mrs. Van Eenen-aam has lead quite a busy and interesting lift.

Originally from Zeeland, she gave up plans to study at the Chicago Conservatory and ac-cepted a position as supervisor of Music and Art in the Zeeland Public Schools.

Her great love for music has played an important role in her life both before and after mar-riage. While in college, she was soloist for the symphony or-chestra and was also a charter member of the first women's singing organization on Hope's campus, the "B Natural Club," which later adopted the title of Girls' Glee Club.

In addition to being very ac-tive in musical circles, Mrs. Van Eenenaam has participated in many other activities, such as the "Y", various women's or-ganizations, and the Church.

Service in the Church has taken many different forms for our newest housemother, includ-ing directing choirs and being a member of the board of Christ-ian World Mission for the past six years. She even dreamed of going to China as a missionary, but gave it up to raise a family.

The proud mother of three, Mrs. Van Eenenaam certainly has what one would call a "Hope" family. Mr. Van Een-enaam attended this college for two years and then transferred to the University of Michigan to study law, which he prac-ticed in Muskegon up until his death last June. All their chil-dren attended Hope and all but one married Hope students.

John, the oldest, followed in

his father's footsteps as a law-yer and is the father of Mrs. Van Eenenaam's first grand-child, Susan.

David, next in line, graduated from Hope three years ago and is presently in his last year of medical school. The "baby" of the family, Isla, a '59 graduate, just recently married and is now teaching in Denver.

Mrs. Van Eenenaam had some interesting comments to make in contrasting life on Hope's campus now with the way it was when she was a student here.

"Physically, of course, it has changed unbelievably. When I tell you that as a student at Hope, I helped wear down the walk be-tween three of the five buildings then on the cam-pus — Voorhees, the Chapel (Graves Library) and Van Raalte Hall — you will know what I mean.

Sixteen Lovely Ladies Compete Jane Wezeman Karen Abell

A native of Clearwater, Flor-ida, Karen Abell is a twenty-one year old Sorosite represent-ing the Class of 1961. She be-lieves the ideal woman is "one who possesses the qualities and characteristics o f femininity, such as grace, poise, and friend-liness. A woman's external beauty can only be expressed through what she has to give others." Karen 's interests in-clude drawing, music, knitting, and sports.

Twenty-year old Jane Weze-man is a senior from Evergreen Park, Illinois. She is a member of the Delta Phi Sorority, the Y, S.E.A., and a former mem-ber of Chancel Choir. She is very much interested in music and plans to teach mentally re-tarded children.

Political Periscope

The Southern Enigma by Justine Ann Dakin

The Kennedy-Johnson ticket was a t first believed to have been a master stroke in the ar t of politics of the Democratic party.

It was hailed as the grea t North-South compromise of 19G0 which would surely result in unifying the par ty ' s dis-parate forces in this election year.

To the contrary, the consequences have been far from edifying to the party. The northern liberals (Governor Williams for one) felt that Kennedy had betrayed them by choosing a conservative Southerner as a running mate.

Conversely, the politics from the hear t of Dixie felt that Johnson had cast aside the Southern cause for his own personal aspirations.

Consequently, the post-convention session of Congress, originally planned as a Democratic legislative coup, failed miserably as Southern Congressmen rallied to the Republi-cans to make the famous 38 and 1 votes needed to defeat a bill from passage in the Senate.

The Democrats, realizing their plight as a party split, ideologically have been trying to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. Balky Southern governors and other party leaders have lately been declaring support for the Kennedy-Johnson ticket.

Governor Bennet of "Ole Miss' is still hedging and Sen-ator Byrd of South Carolina has definitely come out for Nixon.

There are other evidences that the recently declared support of the par ty candidates is superficial.

Last week at the Southern Governor's Conference held in Hot Springs, Arkansas, the governors adopted a pro-tectionist trade policy which is in direct conflict with the traditional Southern and also Democratic advocation of free trade.

This action is related to the fact tha t the South is rapidly industrializing, thereby changing her previous agrar-ian views on tariffs . Senator Byrd, traditionally a s trong Southern Democrat, when asked to secure Johnson as a speaker for an important function in his s ta te replied by sug-gest ing his friend arch-conservative Senator Barry Gold-water of Arizona.

Goldwater came and was enthusiastically received at the Southern gathering.

Why the apparent political instability of the Southern voter this yea r? As complex as the answer is, there are also some very obvious forces at work.

In the post World War II era, many manufac turers have gone South for such practical reasons as cheaper construc-tion costs, an abundant and less expensive labor supply, looser tax s tructures, more capital gains, and in many cases (such as the textile industries) the manufac turers have moved closer to their supply of raw materials , thus providing more savings.

With the new influx of industry have come many workers and managerial staff who chose to move South with the plant, and brought their political affiliations with them. Undoubtedly, much of this "Yankee gone South" population has contributed to the rejuvenation of the Republican party in Dixie.

The Democratic Solid South has been put on the defen-sive, and new vigor is going to have to be fused into the party if it wishes to maintain its fo rmer prominence and leadership.

Thus, the Southern voter of 1960 has f rus t ra ted feel-ings. Basically, he doesn't like Kennedy, and Lyndon John-son has lost s ta ture (especially if the voter is a segrega-tionist). Traditionally, the Southern voter and his ancestors have voted the Democratic ticket since the ante-bellum days of the Civil War.

This rationalization makes it difficult for many a con-servative Dixie citizen to realize that if he could only lay aside his emotional prejudice that he would find himself happier politically within the Republican party whose econ-omic views are often more akin to his own. .

I predict that as both major parties continue to fight for the advancement of Civil Rights, the discontented Southerner is going to face one of three choices: 1: remain a Southern Democrat for reasons of tradition; 2: become a Republican; or 3: bolt both major parties and form a Dixiecrat party which, while it has been done before, is not likely to happen.

The "rebel" Southerner is becoming an anachronism, for most in that area realize that a new South is in the making. He is becoming educated to the fact that the Negro and Mexican are going to realize their political rights in the near future.

I say "educated" because I believe that the Southernor, while intellectually responding to the need for social change, cannot yet emotionally accept the social revolutions happen-ing about him. The latter takes more time.

The South is ripe for a change. Nixon has been amazed and heartened by the surprising support he is finding for his candidacy in Dixie.

Interested observers everywhere are curious as to the role the Southern states will play in determining our national election. Lest I be a false prophet, I shall wait and see . . ?

Hope Drops League Opener 14-12 Despite an inspired offensive

threat in the early minutes of the game, the Hope College Fly-ing Dutchmen bowed to the Al-bion Britons Saturday in the first M.I.A.A. encounter of the season.

A hard-rushing Albion de-fensive seem to spell the differ-ence as their line moved in to block not only both conversion attempts, but also a field goal attempt, a factor which could h a v e reversed the outcome. Hope jumped into an early lead early in the first quarter on a four-yard run by Freshman Ken Visser.

Later in the half, another run by Visser, which resulted in a touchdown, was nullified by a Hope penalty. This is the second week in a row that a score which might have prevented a loss has been called back because of a b l o c k i n g violation. Albion's Frank Gould scored on a center plunge in the third quarter, and Phil Willis sent the Britons into the lead by splitting the up-rights.

Hope co-captain Paul Mack tossed a five yard pass to co-captain Mike Blough to put the Dutchmen into the lead again temporarily, but the Britons in-itiated a 66 yard drive climaxed by Jerry Snider's touchdown with three minutes remaining in the game.

A comeback attempt by the Dutchmen seemed to lose much of its inspiration when half-b a c k Sherwood VandeWoude, who played an excellent game offensively and defensively, was put out of action by a rather high-handed tackle, and had to leave the game.

Neither team played what might be termed a "good" game. The Britons, although victor-ious, were able to pick up only 141 yards of rushing, and 67 yards through the air, which was second best in the game (Hope gained 185 and 90 in these categories).

The Dutchmen, while running a bit better lacked the added punch when it was needed, and

couldn't manage a successful conversion, which hurt them more directly.

FACE ALMA TOMORROW T h e cross-country t e a m ,

coached this year by Darrel Siedentop were defeated by the Albion harriers, 17 to 47. The Britons took the first four places to repeat their substantial vic-tory of last year. The team will attempt to avenge last year's 40-21 loss to Alma this week-end.

The gridders will be busy Saturday attempting to repeat the 13-6 victory over Alma. The Alma team, which has been labeled as a possible threat for second place honors, was not too impressive, needless to say, last week in a 30 to 0 loss to Ferris Institute, and the contest will undoubtedly prove to be a close one.

Sororities Prepare for Initiations Hi Everyone:

Well here we are back again with some more news about our sororities.

THE ALPHA PHI SORORITY On Friday, September 30th, Alpha Phi welcomed in her

new "sisters" by inviting the new pledges to the first meet-ing together. The theme for the literary part of the program was "Europe Bound" in which Mary Van Dyk showed her slides of Europe.

The new pledges in the sorority are: Laura Ten Kley, Nancy Grabinski, Sandy Lovett, Faith Meerman, Lynne Mul-likan, Marcia Anderson, Barbara Anderson, Ruth De Boer, Jean Scheffers, Betty Cooper, Arline Zwghuizen, Carol Heid-eman, Peggy Kahler.

The actives will be extending their welcome to the pledges by inviting them to be their honored guests for a Pledge Dinner at Van Raalte's in Zeeland, on October 5th.

THE DELPHI SORORITY With Fall Rushing now completed, Delphi wants to wel-

come all its pledges into the sorority. Attention is now turned to the full fall program of welcoming chocolate party, a Pledge Dinner, the Homecoming float, and oh yes, initiation.

The officers for this first term are: Margie Kempers, President; Arlene Cizak, Vice President; Viv Kajady, Treas-urer. The whole sorority will miss Secretary Ruth Ausema Hofmeyer who has become inactive.

THE DORIAN SORORITY Friday, September 23rd was the first literary meeting of

the year for the women of KBQ at which time they elected Linda Kloosterhouse as their sophomore Pan-Hell representa-tive. Dorian welcomes their new pledges who are: Karen Crandle, Mary Beth Ziesenitz, Lynn Adams, Clara Herr-miman, Pat Kooiman and Carol Turkstra.

After a busy week of informal initiation, the pledges will be honored at a dinner in the Warm Friend Hotel at which time they will be formally welcomed as members of KBQ. Following the dinner, the sorority will attend the football game as a group. Best wishes to Mary Wiersma and Bobbi Amos on their recent engagements.

THE SIBYLLINE SORORITY It's the Sibs 40th birthday this year and they celebrated

it at their final rushing tea, using gift box name tags, and wearing party hats. Arlene Billins and Ruth Flikkema were in charge.

The sorority congratulated Karen De Graff on her re-cent pinning to Stan Voogd, (KHN) and Adina Yonan and Ruth Flikkema on their candidacy for Queen's Court.

It was decided at the last meeting to incorporate the formal initiation with the Pledge Dinner; plans were made for the Homecoming float and luncheon.

ORIENTATION IS A SUCCESS . . . . (Cont'd from Page 1)

by the deans and the represent-atives of the various organiza-tions on campus.

It was decided to postpone freshmen elections until the class became a better acquaint-ed and had gone through initia-tion together and were more unified as a result.

One of the great ills of past years was the practice of hold-ing elections before anyone had a chance to meet his fellow class members, resulting in the fact that most people did not know for whom they were vot-ing.

T h i s condition was cor-rected by appointing a tempor-ary Freshmen class committee made up representatives from town and the dorms and cot-tages. The g r o u p , under the

supervision of Junior Class P r e s i d e n t Roger Achterhof, made plans for the Pull and the Freshmen class float for Home-coming.

Another change was the split-ting up of the dinner, the speeches, and the class election rather than crowding them into one duty-packed day. •. It is felt that with the student counsellor system, the arriving early, the spreading out of ac-tivities, and the other well-or-ganized features of this year's orientation program, the mem-bers of this year's Freshmen class had a much better chance to get to know each other, be-come adjusted to Hope's camp-us, and to successfully be eased into their first year's study schedule.

Cheerless leader Not a "rah rah" left in him! He's just discovered there's no more Coke. And a cheer leader without Coke is as sad as a soap opera. To put the sparkle back in his eye—somebody!— bring him a sparkling cold Coca-Cola!
