Funds are alloted among the States and the outlying areas of the United States in the propor- tion of total full-time college en- rollment in the .State or outly- ing area to^ total full-time United States college enroll- ment. Within each State or outlying area, these funds are distributed among all participating colleges and universities on the basis of institutional requests. A participating college or uni- versity is required to the crea- tion of its National Defense Stu- dent Loan Fund a sum equal to at least one-ninth of the amount contributed by the Federal Gov- ernment. These joint contributions thus constitute the Loan Fund at this institution, and the responsibil- ity for its administration there- after rests with the institution. Within conditions prescribed by the act and by regulations is- sued by the U.S. Commissioner of Education, the institution it- self selects student recipients, arranges the loans, and is re- sponsible for their collection. Eligibility Since each participating insti- tution is responsible for deter- mining the eligibility of a can- didate for a loan, a prospective borrower must apply for loan assistance at the financial aid office of the college of his choice. The law requires that each borrower be a full-time under- graduate or graduate student, that he be in need of the amount of his loan to pursue his courses of study, and that he be, in the opinion of his institution, cap- able of maintaining good stand- ing in his chosen courses of study. The law further provides that special consideration in the selection of loan recipients be given to students with a super- ior academic background who express a desire to teach in elementary or secondary schools, or whose academic background indicates a superior capacity or preparation in science, mathe- matics, engineering, or a mod- ern foreign language. Terms of Loan The student must sign a note for his loan. He may borrow a maximum of $5,000 during his college career but not more than $1,000 in any 1 year. The re- payment period of the loan be- gins 1 year after he completes (Cont'd on Page 4) First Recital of the Year Is Given By the String Quartet The Hope College Faculty String Quartet will present its first recital of this school year on Sunday, October 30, at 4:00 in the Music Building Auditor- ium.

This act provides for the cre-ation, at American colleges and universities, of loan funds from which needy undergraduate and graduate students may borrow on reasonable terms for the pur-pose of completing their higher education.

Editorials

Intellectual Freedom Last night we saw the films of the Hungarian revo-

lution. There were many students, on the streets of Budapest, smiling, marching happily for freedom. The scene shifted as we saw a young girl, not over eighteen, poke her rifle around the corner of a building and pull the trigger. We noticed with surprise and horror, the smile on her face as she watched the bullet hit its mark.

Because we were ensconced in our favorite chair, and because the wind howled wildly around the corners of our room, we dozed and had a dream. We saw students with guns and clubs milling in front of Van Raalte, and heard the eerie sound of sirens and the rumble of tanks. And all the students were smiling.

The next day we sat down in the smoking lounge and heard two students discussing conformity and intel-lectual freedom. Their faces were hard masks and their eyes shone with a holy light.

Then we remembered the film and the dream, and we laughed loud and long.

Guest Editorial

"Excellence" October 21, 1960

To know where one is going is quite helpful in deciding the route by which one can arrive. The most primary question a stu-dent faces is the question as to what he presumes to find through education.

Repeatedly admonished to seek for himself a standard, a standard of worth to be found only in himself, a standard not de-pendent upon group or public approval, the student turns to him-self credulously in an atempt to find this elusive something re-served for persons of intelligence and spirit.

The individual student that does not work for a grade is rare indeed. It is asking a great deal to ask him to do otherwise.

Yet the student is advised to seek. When he asks, "Seek what?", certainly enough the answer follows. "Excellence!" Now, if he is fortunate and manages to settle for himself what is this thing "Excellence," he needs only to embrace and sustain it daily.

Necessity and intelligence combine to sustain him: through the din of notoriously poor lectures; above acute concern for poor grades earned through petty tests; and beyond the criticism of low and mean persons in his academic life. His task is to forego the petty and vulgar in a search guided by integrity and sensi-bility.

Having momentarily satisfied the question of his purpose, the student looks about him to determine what is at his side to aid him towards the satisfaction of this purpose.

He sees an institution, an educational instituition whose stated purpose it is to sustain, strengthen and undergird the de-velopment of students. Now, he heartily takes it upon himself to think it so. However, doubt begins to cloud his certainty; he be-comes sceptical.

The Honor Code as an issue on campus has been hashed, re hashed, extinguished and relit. The Student Council was kind enough to bring the matter up for student discussion last year— the response was disappointing. ..

So the Honor Code became history; that is, until the pre-registration faculty meeting. Oddly enough its protagonists from the Student Council were still going strong.

Now the student finds the Honor Code Committee enlarged: perhaps in the attempt to further mature it and spring it upon the campus full grown. The student turns to Arithmetic trying to determine how many times a thing must be decided before it is decided.

In Arithmetic it is possible that a decision is a decision when it is decided. The student, being intelligent and of an open mind, sees that this must be an incorrect conclusion, and looks about to secure a reason for the existence of a dead issue.

Perhaps, just perhaps, this institution at his side has become confused. Perhaps theirs is the insistence that an Honor Code is a fine thing, because Oberlin College has one.

Perhaps they think that the textbooks that Obelin College uses are fine textbooks. The student hears, the repressed ring of "Oberlin" through the halls of Van Raalte. The halls of Van Raalte stood for quite some time very solidly in their own right; they now stand next to those of Oberlin.

Could the purpose of this institution be obscured? Could their standards, their particularly evolved standards, be slipping slight-ly? These questions should be asked!

To strive for excellence is one thing; is it not quite another to strive for recognition? This appears analogous to the student that acquiesces, in his pure and simple pursuit of the grade. It is not excusable.

To attain to excellence and to derive recognition thereby is honorable—so long as integrity is not forgotten in the pursuit of it.

Remember the task; to forego the petty and vulgar in a search guided by integrity and sensibility.

Discussing Quemoy-Matsu Issue To the editors of the Anchor: Americans should defend these should we bind ourselves to de-

It is quite natural for Mr. Wang to be influenced by af-fections for his home in discus-sing the defense of Matsu, and Quemoy, his native island, but

I feel that the questions he brought up were not adequately answered.

Mr. Wang states that the questions being asked are as follows: "Kennedy questions the defensibility of these islands while Nixon questions whether

islands or not." The question of defensibility

is not nearly the content of Kennedy's question because, ac-cording to military men who are much more expert in this field than either candidate, these islands are not practicably de-fensible and Secretary of State Herter agreed with this.

The question Kennedy raises is that, in view of the afore at-t e s t e d t o "indefensibility,"

fend them?

Nixon's answer to the ques-

tion was, a t first, a simple "yes."

as he pronounced his own "I

oppose handing over . . . one

inch . . ." doctrine.

This was based on "principal."

Maybe Mr. W a n g does not

realize that Nixon, a f t e r talk-

ing to Eisenhower, has said that

he agrees with the present pol-

icy, which is, according to Eisen-

hower, that we would defend

Quemoy and Matsu only if it

became "necessary or appropri-

ate for the defense of Formosa

and the Pescadores."

Mr. Nixon has a history of

going too f a r in his public state-

ments, anyway.

• • » * •

It seems to be inferred that

Nixon is a man of "principle"

while Kennedy's proposals are

not based on principal, and it is

stated by Mr. Wang that the

question of "defensibility" is no

longer valid."

iResfults only come when prin-

ciples are applied practically.

We live in a practical world, and

as Louis J. Hale, in the New

Republic, described a responsible

foreign policy,

"We must be the opposite of weak and provocative; strong and conciliatory." It is a possibility that the island of Formosa could become a sep-arate entity from the mainland if it is divorced from these islands. There is one principal involved, that of the effective containment of Communism.

* » * * »

Let us look at some other men of "principal" of the Nixon-Republican group. When Mr. Lodge entered the U.N. as our ambassador he informed the press that he would not shake hands with the Soviet repre-sentative.

Somehow, he was able to be the private dining guest of that same representative, later. Mr. Lodge's tactics of largely using the U.N. as a place to stand up and denounce the Communists instead of a place of settling disputes have not a t all been ap-preciated by our Western Euro-pean allies, and to the neutral nations, we and the communists seen to be just two immense belligerent forces.

M o s t of the new nations abstained from voting on the question of admitting R e d China. Our new ambassador to the U.N., Mr. Wadsworth has also exhibited this tendency of one-track-mindedness.

He has said that the U.S. might not be willing to sit down at the same table with the Chinese Communists. Can we afford not to talk to them?

Very shortly, the Red Chinese state will emerge as an atomic power. Should we negotiate dis-armament with the Russians only to see, behind our back, a new and even more vicious Communist Chinese A t o m i c Power ?

Principles are not things to end arguments with, but things to build upon. We cannot pre-tend tha t this is a dream world; we have to apply our principles, but to this world.

Others May Change We have all heard "Know thyself and to thine own self be

true", but have we ever heard of thought of "Know others and through this knowledge gain understanding and consideration"?

With all our moments of introspection do we leave time to get to know and try to understand others? Or are we satisfied with taking someone else's word for the reputation of another? Do we quickly jump to conclusions concerning their behavior when we ourselves know nothing as fac t?

Life is certainly dynamic. From situation to situation, from day to day, people do change. Why then do so many think that they remain the same? Is there no room in our understanding for new consideration of the person's situation and background?

If we expect or desire that others change, we must give them a chance by frequent re-evaluation and continued consideration and understanding.

It 's as I heard a man once say, "The most realistic man I know is my tailor. He measures me again everytime I see him."

Political Periscope

Republicans: Don't Fool Yourselves! by Justine Ann Dakin

Mr. Nixon has been basing his campaign on the basic premise that the nation is doing well in the Cold War. His speeches indi-cate that while America must not stand still and rest on her laurels that the Administration's policies in the past eight years have been good.

Lest we be deceived, we should not accept Mr. Nixon's word too literally. In the past two years, this issue of American prestige and accomplishment in the Cold War has been of utmost concern. The problem has been studied by three presidential commissions. The Rockefeller brothers have also analyzed the problem.

Committees in Congress have been scrutinizing the problem, and teams at Harvard, Columbia, Princeton, Pennsylvania, and other institutions of repute have been doing the same. Not ONE of these studies has supported the optimistic and successful picture of the United States that Mr. Nixon assures us exists.

Each of these reports, most of them from Republican oriented study groups, have expressed grave doubts over our effectiveness as a nation in these serious times. A very real anxiety has been expressed over certain aspects of our foreign and defense policies.

Mr. Stevenson, a t a Citizen's-for-Kennedy dinner in New York last week included this little verse in his speech, which I feel aptly points up the above.

"Fact finding committees and such Are wonderful, who would displace 'em ? But the Whte House would add a delightful new touch If having found facts, it would face 'em." Lest this dominantly Republican campus (myself included) be

too duped by campaign oratory, we must have hope that Mr. Nixon is indeed concerned about our problems and defects in the present administration.

If elected, Mr. Nixon, relieved of the yoke of having to defend the present administration, will undoubtedly be aggressive and somewhat innovating in his administration's approach to such thorny problems as Cuba, Red China, and Russia.

Let us hope that Mr. Stevenson's limmerick can find acceptance in a Republican administration should Nixon and Lodge be the choice of the nation on November 8.

Student Council Report

New Sorority Representatives Announced A blazing orange fire crack-

ling in the center of a white marble fireplace is what im-mediately caught our attention as we piled out of the cool night air into Dr. Hollenbach's home. After each of us had located a comfortable chair in which to sit our weary bones Cal arose from the depths of a sofa and called the meeting to order. The minutes from the last two meet-ings were read and approved. (You bet!)

During Sharon's report she asked all junior sorority repre-sentatives to announce the new sophomore agents of their sor-orities. They did. They are, Alpha Phi, Joyce Droopers; Del-phi, Sharon Cady; Dorian, "let you know next week"; ( that 's a clever name); Sib, K r i s t i n Blank; Sorosis, Joan Ten Cate. . The Daily Bulletin—is it a problem? If you think so, let your Student Council represent-ative know why. At our next meeting this will merit some discussion.

Have you ever been on a S t u d e n t Council committee where you bought something for an activity and you received a slip of paper, called a bill from the store? And on this bill did you FAIL to specify what ma-terial you purchased and for what purpose you used the ma-terial? If so, beware of Norm Kansfield, the Student Council Treasurer.

Cal informed us that Jim Thomas will be in charge of the Student Council WTAS radio program on Monday evenings from 10:15 to 10:20.

The members of the Honor Code Committee plan on visit-ing the freshmen girls' houses to explain the system. A series of honor code debates, each from 15 to 30 minutes long will be presented on WTAS in the near future. Group meetings will then be held for discussion. The committee will then draw up something concrete for approval

by all the students. Whatever results, depends on you, the students.

AjL.qu£ jwxL meeting . an .Oc? tober 26, 1960, we will hear re ports on the N.S.A., the Pull, Freshmen Orientation, Home-coming and Nykerk. "Although this wasn't the slightest inten-tion, this preview may act as a reminder to the chairmen of these committees to be at the meeting."

MONEY (an eye-catcher isn't i t ? ) Any money that comes to Hope for current operations goes for the total education of us students. Dr. Hollenbach de-scribed the operation of the Hope College Budget to the council. A discussion followed involving an independent treas-ury for the Student Council, (not that the college budget doesn't operate effectively.)

You think you have problems —you should be a dining hall! Dining halls can't open their doors earlier on Sunday even-ings because they wouldn't have enough customers. Why? The students just finished eating dinner shortly before 2:00. The dining halls are thinking of placing clever little sighs "Keep Moving" where the students in line can seem them.

"No Middle Road in the

Middle East" was the topic of

Rev. Allen B. Cook's message at

the regular Y meeting in the

chapel basement on Tuesday, October 18.

The College Pastor pointed out that the Middle Eastern

-rCountFies^ totn- -between- influ-ences from the free world and communism are trying very hard to be independent and neutral.

Although India is neutral at the present time, it is most dif-ficult for these countries to re-main in a neutral position since they are economically dependent upon other, larger countries. Both the United States and Rus-sia realize this fact and both are attempting to influence the Middle Eastern countries to their own way of thinking.

According to Rev. Cook, there are many different types of government in the Middle East. Jordan and Saudi Arabia com-prise kingdoms, Lebanon is a republic, and the United Arab

Republic, Turkey, and India are forms of dictatorships.

Especially important to the

immediate interests of the free world and communism are the dictatorships which might be dissolved upon the death of one or more of the leaders. The question then is, "which type of government will step in and take over?"

Rev. Cook stated that the re-ligions, Judism, Islam, a n d Christianity, are all monothe-istic and all look to Jerusalem as a center of interest. Think-ing Christians, Moslems, or Jews all believe there is only one true religion. Islam, the youngest religion of the three, is also the most evangelistic. I t is our job to present Christ as Lord and Savior to the people of the Middle East, which is, contrary to the opinion of many Americans, an area of vital in-terest to the United States. In closing Rev. Cook challenged: "Quit, horsing around and be-come informed."

In each case, the link with

U.S. campuses w a s f o r g e d through CARE, the American international-aid agency. They are just a few recent examples of the ways in which college g r o u p s h a v e sent people-to-people help across the world during the 14 years of CARE'S operations. They illustrate, too, the unusual kind of sightseeing two American college students will soon enjoy, through the Vicks CARE Crusade. .To be specific:

The Italian palace now houses the Orphanage School di Marie, which has vocational as well as elementary classes for 200 or-phaned girls and daughters of destitute families. But its equip-ment was as outmoded as its ancient halls, until a Student Council contribution from the Wheaton, 111., campus enabled CARE to deliver the sewing machine, plus needle trade kits of sewing supplies—the tools of modern training, so that the girls can get jobs as dress-makers and garment workers when they graduate.

The 50 Hong Kong pupils had faced a problem shared by thousands of refugee children in the colony: They cannot at-tend school unless they bring their own writing materials, yet their parents cannot possible af-ford the cost. Because students of the Women's College at the Greensboro, North Carolina uni-versity raised funds for CARE, each child received a school kit containing a whole semester's supply of copybooks, pencils and other essentials.

For the Korean fishermen, the Dartmouth pennant en route at their request will be their proud acknowledgment of gratitude to the new Hampshire undergrad-uates. Ever since a typhoon de-stroyed their boat last winter,

Fraternity Rushing Begins Hi Everyone!

SIGMA SIGMA The Sorosis pledges are glad they are finishing their

second and final week of "slavery to the actives". Last Friday they received their quests which tested their per-sistence in everything from surveying the underside of every table in Graves library to searching all the telephone poles on Eighth St.

That night they presented their gift to the actives at the literary meeting which was put on by the pledges.

Sigma Sigma is proud to have Sorosite Donna Davis as chairman of Sophomore Nykerk and Sorosite Evy Hollander directing the sophomores in their song for the same.

OMICRON KAPPA EPSILON During Rushing all the Frats are busy and the Fraters

are no exception. On Wednesday night they held a Smoker and on Friday night a Hayride. Both were well attended.

On Wednesday, Nov. 2nd another Smoker will be held; on Thursday, Nov. 3rd Ralph Materie will be presented in the Civic Center; and on Friday, Nov. 4th, the annual Ship-wreck Party will take place.

ALPHA GAMMA PHI After being informally initiated into Alpha Phi last

Friday evening, the pledges are feeling rather humble beside their slave masters.

This week the slaves were engaged in Service Week, do-ing chores for their big sisters and also for their Arcadian brothers. Initiation activities will culminate with Formal Initiation on Friday, October 28th in Phelps Conference room.

The date of October 29th will be an important one on the Alpha Phi calendar. I t is Date Night! For the occasion a square dance will be held in the gym with pizza being served for refreshments.

KAPPA BETA PHI The Dorians were entertained with a serious paper and a

humor paper a t their literary meeting on Oct. 21st. A musical number was given by the new actives. Final plans were made for Date Night.

CHI PHI SIGMA Activity in the Arkie Camp has been at its fullest during

the past week. A victory over the Fraters 28-18 on Friday afternoon gave the Blue and White a share of the football championship.

At last Friday evening's literary meeting, attended en-thusiastically by many rushees, Dr. Vander Lugt, Dean of the College, spoke on his experiences in education. It was presented in a very personal and enlightening manner which was enjoyed by all those attending.

Although dampened by the weather, the spirit was high at the lawn party and cook-out held on Saturday evening. One hundred and thirty members and guests enjoyed the fun, food and fellowship which the evening offered.r

On Wednesday evening the men of Chi Phi Sigma held their second coffee break at the house. Many familiar faces and some new ones were welcomed to the "break".

All rushees are invited to attend the Hostess Party this evening at the house. Come Stag!

Events during the coming week include a coffee break on Wednesday evening, a literary meeting on Friday night, and a Hayride and Dance next Saturday evening. We'll be look-ing for you fellows.

SIGMA IOTA BETA After a week of doing little jobs for their big sisters

the Sibylline pledges finally became actives on Friday night. The pledge dinner and Formal Initiation took place at

Cummerford's a t 6:30 on October 21. Barbara Kamphuis was in charge of the affair and the sorority wishes to sincerely thank her for a wonderful job.

At 6:45 A.M. on Saturday morning the girls met in front of Durfee for the annual hike and breakfast. The hike was to the home of Ann Herst on South Shore Drive and the breakfast was. enjoyed in the game room of the Herst home. After breakfast a meeting was held at which a few elections took place.

Flying Dutchmen Tip Kazoo 26-14 Still smarting from the Home-

coming disaster a t the hands of Muskingum, the Hope Colege eleven came from behind to up set a favored Kalamazoo team, and take home the Wooden Shoes for the fourth year in a row. It took the inspired run-ning of Freshman halfback Ken Visser to gain the Dutchmen third place in the M.I.A.A. standings, as the start of the fourth quarter found them be-hind, 14 to 13.

Hope drew first blood in the contest, scoring on the first series of plays. Sherwood Vande Woude scored from the five, and Mack converted.

The Hornets came b a c k strong in the second quarter, capitalizing on a two yard punt by Quarterback Mack, who had to contend with a high center and charging line. Ed Laurer-man went over for the score a few plays later, and Tom Leg-gett 's extra point tied the score.

Hope Harriers Defeated Last Saturday at Angell Field, Schneider of KC took second,

the Hope College Cross-country Boylan, third. Sterk and Menc-

team met some stiff competition ^ e n w e r e the only ones of Coach Siedentop's boys to finish in the top ten positions, copping fourth

in the form of Kalamazoo Col-

lege. Schelb of Kalamazoo took

first place in the four mile run

with a time of 23.16.

and ninth positions respectively. Next week the Harriers en-counter Adrian.

Intramurals

Three Teams Tie for Football In the last game of the 1960

intramural football season, the

Cosmos defeated last year's de-

fending champions, the Knicks,

to move into a threeway tie for

first place with the Arkies and

Fraters. The Arkies earned

their share of first place honors

by a 28 to 12 victory over the

Fraters the week before.

The Cosmos now lead in the race for the All-Sports trophy by virtue of a first in tennis, a second in golf, and this tie for first place in football. Next on the schedule for intramural teams, basketball.

Core Crusade Trip . • • (Cont'd f rom Page 3)

they have been unable to earn a living for their families... A Dartmouth College Chest Fund contribution made it possible for CARE to buy materials to build a new boat, which the five men will maintain and operate co-operatively.

The opportunity to observe projects like these in action will come via the current nationwide contest sponsored by Vick Chem-ical Company to raise $1,000,000 for C A R E ' S work. Besides the general contest to select winners from every State, two students will be chosen to repre-sent the college youth of Amer-ica on a jet-flight goodwill t r ip to Europe. The tour, March 5 to 17, will 'visit Paris, Rome, Athens and Istanbul.

All the famous tourist attrac-tions will be seen. But in ad-dition, C A R E representatives will take the goodwill Ambas-sadors behind the tourist cur-tain to see how CARE supplies are helping the people of Italy, Greece and Turkey. Projects the average tourist never sees will give added international in-sight to the "Ambassadors," who will also help distribute some of the aid provided by the con-test.

To compete for the trip, en-t rants must contribute a mini-mum of 50c to CARE and com-plete this sentence, in 25 words or less: "Americans s h o u l d CARE about their neighbors abroad because "

Alpha Phi Omega chapters a r e spearheading the special college contest on 319 campuses. Ralph Herron, local APO chair-man, has announced that entry blanks and complete details are available here on posters dis-played around campus.

Expenses of the contest and t r ip are being borne by Vicks. The donations to C A R E will send aid to the needy in 28

countries of Europe, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. While C A R E food programs continue to feed the hungry, funds derived from the contest will be u s e d primarily for CARE'S Self-Help program to give people the tools to feed and otherwise help themselves.

Tools of education, health and

self-support—using the word in

its broadest sense—will all be

provided, as needed, to help our

neighbors south of our borders

and across the oceans.

On the educational level, many

students in foreign colleges will

benefit, for CARE'S shipments

of educational tools range from

the school kit packages for

primary pupils to special pur-

chases of the best new scien-

tific and tenchnical books for colleges and universities.

For the two college winners, the contest will bring an unfor-gettable glimpse into the lives of the people of Europe. But win or lose, every contestant will have the satisfaction of knowing this: your contribution to CARE will bring good for-tune to struggling people in other lands, and will help ce-ment the world friendship so vital to a peaceful future.

After halftime, the Holland team moved 55 yards to score again. Quarterback Mack doing the honors, but, to the enjoy-ment of the 2,000 fans at Kala-mazoo's Angell Field, failing in his extra point attempt.

Taking the kickoff, Kalama-zoo drove 65 yards, and the usually successful combination of Quarterback Jim Smith and End Dan Pell clicked on a 22 y a r d scoring play. Leggett booted the all-important extra point.

At this point, trailing by one p o i n t , Hudsonville Freshman Ken Visser began to break loose for long gains, and spearheaded a 71 yard drive to a touchdown.

Late in the final period, a desperation d r i v e b y t h e Hornets was nipped in the bud as Freshman Rog VanNoord picked off a Smith pass on the Kalamazoo twenty. Classmate Visser then circled right end for a twelve yard run, and the score.

This weekend, Hope faces sixth place Adrian, in what should be a comparitively easy contest.

STUDENT COUNCIL (Cont'd from Page 3)

The cafeteria can't be opened

any earlier a t noons because the working staff has to go to class sometime. The suggestion was

made that another dining hall

be opened at noon. The food would have to be brought over to Durfee on steam tables be-

cause it is all cooked in Phelps. But this is a possibility. If any-one has any suggestions let's hear them!

At 9:32 Dr. Hollenbach an-n o u n c e d t h a t refreshments would be served a f t e r the meet-ing. We adjourned immediately!
