W h a t . person h a s not watched

wi th intense in teres t the p repara -

tions t h a t are made to erect a steel

s t ruc ture ? The g r e a t truck arr ives

wi th i ts heavy steel girders. Then

t he crane of the derrick is swung

over, and picks up a grea t girder.

It is held suspended until the man

with the plan or blueprint examines

its markings . Then it is swung to

the place which i t is supposed tc

go. This blueprint guides the fore-man in the erection of the struc-ture . Without this guide he wouh be completely lost.

The girders m u s t be placed ir the r ight position, cross beams at-

tached to re-enforce the s t ruc tu ic and rivets put t h rough the various g i rders to unite and s t rengthen thi f r amework . The s t i uc tu re is thei able to resist the forcer, of weigh, placed upon it.

EDUCATION

• A student , too, m u s t have ar ideal plan and system of education Without a plan of study leading t( a definite field of vocation the stu dent is confused. His main girde; mus t he a major in one subject. The smaller girders, composing the f r amework , must be a minor in other courses.

These g i rde . s should then be riv eted with the Greek ideal, "Health} mind, in healthy body, and both a: well rounded as can possibly be.' F m m this plan of s t ructure thi average student should become a well-rounded enough individual to take the position life offers him as an upstanding citizen of the com-munity. If, however, he is an ex ceptional s t u d e n t with unusua! apt i tude and promising ability, he should be left as he is, progressing and building as he rivets his tal-ents into the s t r o n g girder of ambition.

S T U D E N T S

" U N H A R N E S S E D "

Students of this type should not be "harnassed" by parential force into college, but ra ther be per-mitted to attend a school tha t would adap t him for the vocation he would be most happy in as his life 's work.

Since the s tudent 's concern is not occupied with academic interest , he should not be sent to college. He should carefully ascertain the field of endeavor that he feels himself not merely interested in, but best qualified. If he t ru th fu l ly enjoys the work and thinks he is suited for that line of endeavor, he shouhl continue in it. On the other hand, if the work does not conform with what he had in mind, it is not too late to enter college.

PRACTICAL T R A I N I N G H E L P F U L

A few years of practical train-ing builds a resis tance capable of warding off any force of opposition appear ing in new fields of en-deavor. The individual who studies his blueprint can build s t rong gir-ders, upheld by s t a lwar t supports . These a re qualif icat ions which tend toward making a s tudent eminent in the realm of society.

The saying has b e c o m e well known, t ha t it is favorable for stu-dents to enter college at the earliest age p o s s i b l e , but outs tanding s tudents have been found who have s t e p p e d out of the educational world to careful ly s tudy their blue pr ints and plans so that s t rong foundat ions for s tu rdy girders may be erected.

Foreign Correspondence QUESTION:—

"What is your opinion of an Honoi;

S y s t e m ? "

Rutgers Universi ty, New Brunswick, N. J .

Dear Hopei'.es: I think this means of inter-col-

legiate contact is splendid, as we know so little of one another . . , >o let 's hear f rom you.

In my opinion, the Honor System is a falsified idea of the mediaeval age. Cheat ing will be prevalent in jpite of Honor Systems, for s tu-Jents resent being bound with the :angling cords of rules. Remember the old proverb — " I f a cord is i)ound too t ightly, it will snap."

Yours t ruly, Marvin Gruss Hort icul ture Major

Stevens Ins t i tu te of Technology,

Hoboken, New Jersey Dear Hopei'.es:

Stevens has an Honor System that works like a charm, proving successful as a whole fo r over a decade. The very name of the school stands fo r honesty. If a person is liscovered violating the H o n o r system it is one's supreme duty to report the individual. A trial by jury is held, composed of two stu-lents of the represent ing classes.

The punishments vary f rom suspen-sions to fai lures.

Respectfully yours, Gunther Nurnberger , Chemistry Major

University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, Alabama

Dear Hopeites:

I think the idea of inter-collegi-a te correspondence is very good, and take this opportunity to s ta te my opinion of Honor Systems in general . The success of an Honor System depends mainly upon the element of Trust . Trus t plays the impor tant par t in a system of this

kind. The s tudents must feel tha t they are being t rus ted. Only by mutual t rus t between student and faculty can an Honor S y s t e m succeed.

Yours t ruly, John Kroth, English Major

Dear Hopei'.es:

At N.J.C. no monitor or instruc-tor is present dur ing examinations. If cheat ing is seen, the offender is warned by three pencil raps on the observer 's desk. If the warnings have not put a stop to the cheating, it is the duty of any girl in the room to report the offender; how-ever, each girl t h i n k s it more honorable to observe the cheat ing without warn ing or report ing the offender.

May we hear what you of Hope believe?

Hope Inaugurates Radio Programs

•«

Chapel Rooms Remodeled for Use as Studios

Hope College h a s really hi t t he air waves and broadcasts a re a new source of pleasure and exci tement to many Hope s tudents . Al though the broadcasts or ig ina te in the form of electrical t ranscr ipt ions , they a re recorded exact ly as radio programs.

Recording fo r a six m o n t h s ' series of p rograms , sponsored by

the Home Furnace Company, w a s broadcast las t Sa tu rday evening, 7:30 o'clock f rom WOOD, Grand Rapids.

Prof . Paul Hinkamp's room and the small music room in the base-ment of the chapel has been re-modeled into recording studios. The

music room now has thick drapes a t the windows, and a heavy r u g on the floor, all of which look very professional . Two numbers played on the chapel organ by Prof . Ken-neth Osborne were recorded. His selections were " L a r g o " by Handel, and "I Cried For Thee" by Bach!

The p r o g r a m began with the famil iar r i n g i n g of the Hope chimes, followed by the s inging of the Hope song. Dr. W y n a n d Wichers, the first speaker , was in-troduced by senior Dean Dyks t ra .

Dr. Wichers expressed the pur-pose of the p rograms and gave a description of the college and its aims. A f t e r Dr. Bruce Raymond

c o m m e n t e d on the position of Nether lands dur ing the p r e s e n t crisis, a s t r ing ensemble, made u p

of Harold Van Huevelen, Theodora Meulendyke, Alma Weeldreyer, and Caroline Kremers , rendered a num-ber.

From time to t ime in the f u t u r e , certain of the a lumni will be heard on these p rograms , as well as s tu-dents and ins t ruc tors of the college.

Little Symphony To Present-Select Concert

Tonight a t 8 o'clock the Univer-s i ty of Michigan Lit t le Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Thor Johnson, will present a con-cert. The symphony is composed of sixteen excellent musicians. Mr. Johnson is considered to be a highly talented conductor, and is considered among the best of our time. Wherever the orches t ra has played, it has received h ighes t praise f rom the press .

A highl ight of t he program will be the playing of Schubert 's Sym-phony No. 3 in D. The remainder of the p rogram is excellent, con-sis t ing mostly of obscure works

which we do not oft tm have t he opportuni ty of hear ing . Mr. John-

I HE milk of human kindness has turned sour. Peace is jus t another one of those abstract words one hears so much about tha t it has become meaningless.

And yet, it moves but few to an active interest , for it has become

The horrorscrapes shown here are brief due to space limitations.

Some of the characteristics mentioned may be mollified with a coke at

the Model. Acquire-us — J a n u a r y 21 to F e b r u a r y 19:

Natives of this sign are energetic, positive, and determined, and are usually happy in marriage. Watch out boys, the first threat of Leap

Year has worn off by now — Why not a double feature?

Fish — February 20 to March 21: In this sign are bom those easily persuaded. They will live long

and usefully for their roommates. They are inclined to be too trusting

and generous with their money. A-race — March 22 to April 20:

Generally to the altar. The people of A-race have vivid imagina-tions, magnetic, and frequently restless. They can see Tyrone Power or

Hedy Lamarr in the other half any time as the case may be.

T y r a n t s — April 21 to May 21: This is the birth period of independent, agressive people. Their

minds are active and may tend to lack imagination. Most college profs are bom under this sign. For them, the Greek derivation Tire-us is

more applicable. The original means "Bull."

Gemini — May 22 to June 21: As in crickets. They enjoy living, like good times, and are fre-

quently unconventional. Some do graduate under this sign. This week we've seen you safe ly through school. You'll have to

flounder about until next issue without our astrological aid. At t ha t t ime we'll polish up the eight ball and finish our forecas t ing .

I am a f ra te rn i ty member, being justly proud of my f ra terna l affiliations and the privileges it offers. Yet, 1 feel tha t there is something vitally lacking in each society, my own included. Comparative thought and observance have led me to certain conclusions which I feel with s t rong sincerity.

The four f ra terni t ies are at present par t of the life of Hope and are truly beneficial. Some point out tha t all sor ts of evils are practiced by fra terni t ies . In order for f ra tern i t ies to ful-fill their proper functions on the campus, there must be a bond of HARMONY between the various groups.

When a person enters into a brotherhood, he naturally feels as a chain linking the good and welfare of the people to their | a s e n C e of pride in his membership. For him to wish to in-

work.

Stagnant W a t e r s

We need the services of sincere s tatesmen more than at any other time in our political history. But how can we secure peace when some of those pompous politicans and political puppets at the White Dome sanction war as did one brilliant

Senator in a recent speech? Unfortunately, we have lived through the horrible experi-

ences of war and should really endeavor not to undergo this sinister ordeal again. If we remember and learn by past ex-periences we will save many a heartache, become a prosper-

ous nation, and enjoy the f ru i t s of peace.

The Marrow of Peace Peace must become more than jus t an ideal — it must

become a fundamental principle. May this be our determina-tion for 1940 . . . tha t we Take An Active and Concerned Interest in the peace-war situation . . . t ha t we Wake Up and Be Alive to the present-day conditions. Wake up, SLEEPY

crease the prestige of his group is natural . Competitive con-tests are a fitting and desirable expression of a natural ten-dency. But all of us are aware of expressions of f r a t e rn i ty loyalty tha t are detestable. I mean "incidents" t ha t occur f rom time to time, which, while not serious, show a lack of HARMONY between the groups. I mean also "instances in which school elections prove to be political campaigns.

So, in closing, allow me to offer my suggestion as a possible tangible way to increase the value of f ra terni t ies . I believe tha t there should be some common project in which all of the f ra terni t ies should cooperate for the benefit of the school Preferably this would be in the social life of the college which is insufficient for some students at present.

By so doing, the f ra terni t ies would be increasing their prestige and value on the campus. And by working with each other we would discover at least a mite of good in all of us We can easily enjoy the true tune of fr iendship by HAR-MONIOUSLY cooperating and working with each other.

Sir : I have often wondered what benefits a s tudent receives f r o m

writing term papers. This is not only the sent iment of t h e s tudent body, but also of members of the faculty. Recently there was a demonstation of this in one of the classrooms when a pupil remarked to his professor t ha t he was unable to do his homework because he was in the process of wri t ing term papers. At this the professor emphatically stated t h a t ;erm papers were not only abominable, working hardships on the student, but hard on the instructor as well. I admire h im greatly for his honest forwardness and his f ea r l e s snes s in expressing his opinions.

Dear Editor: Each of us, f rom the most boorish f r e shman to the most

sophisticated senior, sadly abuses the best et iquette. Many of us save our "small ta lk" until we are comfortably seated at a concert or chapel service, while others pra t t le incessantly in the library. On the campus, we greet the facul ty with a "Hi-Ya!" while a t our part ies we make them feel like a neces-sary evil. We clutter the halls with cliques of favori tes while avoiding others with rudeness. These are only a few of the more blatant abuses.

Let us remember t ha t the basis of all good et iquette is thoughtfulness and kindness to others.

My Kingdom For a Quote The New Y e a r began in Eng lcnd wi th t he mos t widespread quota -

tion h u n t in h i s to ry . I t w a s ini t ia ted by K ing George on Chr i s tmas Day

jvhen he ended his globe-circl ing speech wi th t he fol lowing quo ta t ion :

• - " I - s a i d t o a m a n who stood a t t he g a t e of the y e a r : 'Give me a L igh t t h a t I m a y sa fe ly t r ead into t h e u n k n o w n / and he replied, 'Go

ou t in to t he d a r k n e s s and p u t your hand in to t h e hand of God. T h a t shal l be t o you b e t t e r t h a n a l ight and s a f e r t h a n a known w a y * . "

. P r o m p t l y in O t t awa , Canadian Governor Tweedsman and P r ime Minis ter Mackenzie K ing expressed themse lves as in teres ted in the

a u t h o r s h i p of t he quota t ion but s tumped . Eve ry known work of appro-p r i a t e r e f e rence was consul ted wi th no success.

London p a p e r s called George Bernard Shaw. He didn' t know nor

did his f r i end . H. G. Wells was consulted. No Success. Sir Quiller-Couch, Engl i sh p ro fe s so r a t Cambr idge since 1912 had no idea of i ts origin. . T

Soon it was revealed t h a t even His M a j e s t y was unaware of the

source of his gem, had seen it in the London Times. London Times

found it was f r o m a le t te r by Mrs. J . Allen of Cl i f ton, Bristol . She said she copied it f r o m a C h r i s t m a s ca id sent h e r in 1938 by a Miss Glover.

F r o m her 'the lines were t raced to he r f a t h e r , then to Mr. Gerr ish , a t eache r of voice. There the t rai l g r e w cold.

John Masefield and G. K. Ches te r ton were unable to throw l igh t on

t he search . Sir Edward Dennison Ross guessed they were f rom an un-published work.

By this t ime the th ree ne tworks which carricd the speech (BBS, CBS, and CBS. Canada) were har r ied to death by days of queries f r o m

in te res ted seeke?s. Final ly an anonymous call pu t the finger on a Miss

Minnie Hask ins , finally located in Sussex. Upon a bit of though t she remembered she had wr i t t en a book of verses 25 years ago for an Indian

char i ty . I t was learned t ha t the lines were used in the introduction to her book, The Dese i t .

Even the official German radio joined in, t ak ing a clumsy crack at quota t ion spo t t ing . Hans F r i t s che repl ied: "An unhoiy cause cannot

be t r a n s f o r m e d in'.o a holy one .-imply by d isguis ing it behind a quota-tion f r o m the Bible!"

BOOK REVIEW by Ruth Van Popering

CHRIST IN CONCRETE by

Pie t ro di Donato

I t will be a long t ime be fo re we

will aga in have the good f o r t u n e to see such a book about w a g e ea rn -

e r s by one of them who is not a

professional a u t h o r but a man

brought up in dependence on daily wages .

Wi th the open ing words we are t h rown into a g roup of s t r o n g men

who are loyal t o each o the r and

en joy life. T h e s e men talk the

rough , richly colored l a n g u a g e of

d i f f icul t to convey the solid impres-sion of real i ty which one receives

in th is s tory . I t is like a physical sensat ion of w a r m t h — t h e way the

vi tal i ty of these men and women

glows on the pr in ted page . How-

ever, what one does feel about

"Chr i s t in Concre te" is t ha t the au tho r could not be fa lse because

not only does he wr i te of wha t he knows, but he knows no th ing else.

The S tudent body would like to extend sympa thy to

Anthony Pennings , a member

of the Jun io r class who-^e

cousin Johanna , was killed in

an automobile accident on

pathy to the family of Mrs.

This Friday's Opponents Now Rated Leagued Best

IN THE BASKET

By Ed Dibble

The big reversal in the league th i s year is being suffered by the Kazoo Hornets . In football they were t ramped on, in basketball they a re having little be t t e r luck, al though th is is admittedly an ear ly da te fo r too much criticism, and their chances of a s t rong upturn are smal l . Last year they were third in the football picture, champions on the basketball court . They wound up the year by taking the all-sports trophy. Such

is not the case this year . The loss of Warren and Spalsberry in basketball was too grea t to

allow them to come back in the old style. Even though Lemmer, Zick, Wood, Maxwell, and Drier deserve a lot of credit for their showing here, and may show much more at any time, they haven' t yet the explosive

potential i t ies f o r which Spalsberry and Warren were famous. Alma is the surpr ise club of the league, and is handing out

her surpr ises generously. However. Coach Hinga had them spotted for a rise when he saw their f rosh squad perform last year. At this writ ing, the Scots have won four of their league

games to lead in wins.

Albion should win the championship a t a trot . Wha t leads us to this conclusion is the simple fac t tha t they have the same team back that lost the championship last year by one except for the center. According to repor ts and stat ist ics, VanderLinde, the new center, is bet ter than McElhaney, whom he replaces. In high school he was all-state.

Our weakness lies in a lack of reserve s t reng th . Last

year, it commonly appeared that we had two first teams. This year we have to depend more upon conditioning the p.ayers,

and avoiding the loss of men through penalt ies on fouls. Mont-gomery took care of centef.-position very well in the Hillsdale game when it was vacated by Lee Brannock. but this is th? exception more than the rule. Sophomore Gil VanWieren has been showing steady improvement, and plays a bang-up game all the time. Ken Vandenberg also played a good game a f t e r he got over his worst j i t te rs ( f rom being under pressure, with-

out a couple years of experience, and qui te na tu ra l ) .

In one of t he rip-roarin.Test, wide-openest, ha rdes t fought , d—1-take- the-h indmost court t i l ts seen here, the Hope cour t - f ive finally managed to rub out the Dales of

Hillsdale last J a n u a i y 12 a t the Armory . Final score in this t i l t gave t he Hopemen a larger edge than would have been predicted a t half t ime in a 43 to 33 score.

For pure scrappiness the game would be hard to match anywhere. It had the speed of a s t reaml iner in addition. The total of personal fouls rolled up by the two t eams was one less t h a n th i r ty - th ree ( th i r ty - two) and four men went out of the game on fouls, two f r o m each team. The game was not an exhibition of holding and s lugging, however, but merely carried on a t such a clip that fouls were inevi-table.

Lokers, Van Wieren, Hrannock, Honholt , and Slikkers started for Hope; Hallock, Pia t t , Ward, Touhy, and Karwaski for the Dales. Gnrd Piat t lef t the game through foul.'-in the first half . He was imitated in the second half by Gil Van Wieren, Don Touhy and Lee Bran-nock.

On the olfense Ray Lokers looked best and was high scorer with 13 points. Ken Honholt showed lots of speed and deception; Ken Vanden-berg showed grea t promise of fill-ing brother Bob's shoes in bucket-ing S points. Brannock was not in his usual stride, but was there in the pinches. Gil VanWieren was ou ts tanding iti breaking u p t h e

Dale a t tacks , as was Ade Slikkers.

"Mr. Schouten. what would you ^ay are the most important fac tors •i successful a thlete s h o u l d ob-erve ?"

"Well, for one thing, an athlete should undergo a thorough physi-cal examinat ion at least twice a

"An a th le te ' s conditioning and oning up is very impor tant . This

should be done by regular exercises and f requent running.

"The most important factor an ithlete should observe is to report lis injur ies however slight and tri-vial they may appear . Failure to report c o m m o n scratches and bruises of ten result in being laid up for even weeks at a t ime."

Champions of '39 Take Trouncing From Hopemen

Absence of

Spalsberry, Warren Apparent

To cap the pas t Xmas holidays, the Hingamen met and defeated, in a fas t fight on the H o l l a n d Armory floor, the Hornets of Kazoo College. At the whistle, the cards read Hope 4(>, Kalamazoo 2!l.

S ta r t e r s for the Hope squad were

L o k e r s, Van Wieren, B^annonk, Slikkers, and Honholt. For Kazoo. Drier, Maxwell, Wood. Zick, and Lemmer led off. Although the game was not a t any t ime a close one, there was enough action at all t imes to keep it interest ing. The Hope five were well in the lead at half time, and came back to finish without a threa t to their suprem-acy.

Featured a r t i s t s for the night

were Lee Brannock m d Dick Lem-mer. Lee dazzled the s tands and the opponents by throwing in a

i total of fifteen points, all of them accompanied the speed and impos-

i sible angles that made his scoring ; so spectacular, and so liked by the customers.

Dick Lemmer . of the Hornets , ran a close second with a total of thir teen points, making him high for his side. Whether or not the thir teen had any th ing to do with the night 's activities was not cer-tain, but . . . Dick lost the best par t of one of his f ron t teeth through s t r iking Brannock on the elbow with his face, and when last seen, was an t ic ipa t ing a black eye. The Hope Frosh beat the Kazoo youngsters 55 to 39 in the prelims.

Friday Night's Game Stiff Competition

Albion, Alma Cagers Favorites in M.I.A.A.

Albion and Hope Top League at This Stage

Hope and Albion remain unde-

feated in the MIA A title chase.

The Bri tons tked out a 28-27 wir. over alma's sophomore quintet last Monday night , with a brace of goals in the last 70 seconds of play

to eliminate the Scots from the pei feet record column. The Dutch meet Albion in a crucial game here on Fr iday to dete imine th t Conference lead at the half -way mark in the schedule.

Hillsdale's surpr i s ing 'Dales hold down third place in the s tandings and Kazoo, Adrian and Olivet are s t r i n g i n g along in t h a t orded. Hillsdale gave Albion a hard fought battle with the Britons win-ning by a slim margin of two points.

The Hingamen scored a decisive win over Centra l College f rom Pella, Iowa, dur ing Chr is tmas re-cess, and then dropped a non-con-f e i e n r e game to Western State 43-27. In the last game scheduled du-l ing the holidays, Hope whipped the Bulldogs of Adrian by a lop-sided count to open their MIAA campaign.

The Dutch journey to Big Rapids on J a n u a r y 22 to meet Ferr is in another non-conference game, and then they travel to the Scot's lair at Alma on J a n u a i y 27, in what pro-mises to be one of the hardest games of the season.

The s c h e d u l e f o r th is week

matches us aga ins t Olivet on t he

s ixteenth (game to be played a w a y )

and Albion here on the n ine teen th ,

a F r iday . The F r i d a y game will

3ee the Bri tons out with one of the

best t e a m s in the league.

Olivet will have about the same

team as las t year . The i r a t tack will center about the i r s t a r Whi tey Diehl who has been one of the high scorers of the league the pas t two /ea r s , and seldom fa i l s to make '".en points or more. Las t year the Comets finished in fou r th place, lirectly behind the th ree t eams vho went to the playoffs, which

n a d e them a good f o u r t h .

Albion will br ing the same team that missed the championship by one point last year . Tha t is, with one exception.
