Editorial

No Post-Season Tournaments The MIAA Conference, in which Hope College is a member,

has disallowed participation in post-season tournaments outside the conference. This ruling struck the campus of Hope College with considerable force. We were all disappointed over it, and some were bitter. We definitely ar hurt as far as this opportunity for increased prestige in basketball is concerned. But it is a very superficial hurt.

As a mild salve to those who are so mightily disturbed by this ruling there are two considerations that are conveniently over-looked while they cry about this so-called loss of incentive and loss of high athletic standards in the MIAA. For one thing, Hope was by no means assured a tournament invitation. Northern Mich-igan has a better record than ours, and they defeated us.

The second consideration is that of the NCAA ruling that prohibits freshmen from varsity participation in schools number-ing more than 750 male students. There are three freshmen on our varsity squad, one of them on the starting team. They are a part of the team. This alone would prevent us from accepting a tournament bid. Of course these considerations are merely super-ficial ointments, — but for a superficial infliction.

The principle underlying the MIAA ruling is a sound one, both athletically and educationally. Sports play an important role in the MIAA schools, as it does throughout America. But it bursts out of proportion and destroys its own vital role when it is elevated to primacy.

We all know that Hillsdale College does intensive scouting and offers several dozen football scholarships. Here lies the incentive that brought about the MIAA ruling. Hillsdale played football in order to receive bowl invitations.

Hope College and the rest of MIAA were her pawns while she made herself look good in the hopeful prospect of bowl games. We were pitting our athletes against players that were paid to smear us and every other team as much as possible so that their record would appear extra impressive to bowl officials.

At the Hillsdale game Hope students felt bitter b e c a u s e ^ principle was at stake. An entire ethics of sportmanship was be-hind that game. This very same principle is what motivated the MIAA ruling.

No Post-Season Tournaments (Cont'd from page 1)

We disparage "principle" as being too lofty and unrealistic when it effects us, but the principle underlying this entire issue is clearly a sound one. Sports will be kept for its value of fun for its own sake, its vigorous competitiveness, its body and char-acter building qualities, and for spectator enjoyment, rather than for the sake of national acclaim at the expense of schools that practice a more balanced sports policy.

Crying about the downfall of high standards in the quality of MIAA sports is invalid. Calvin and Albion have always been top contenders in MIAA competition, and they have always followed a self-enforced policy prohibiting post-season tournaments.

A few years ago Calvin College was consistently at the top of the league, and not because of the "incentive" of national tournaments, because she wouldn't have accepted any bids anyway. Also, were the two leading MIAA basketball stars attracted to Hope College because of the opportunity to participate in tourna-ments at Wheaton and Evansville? Hope never attended such tournaments until two years ago. Clearly the quality of our ath-letics is not determined by post-season tournaments.

Educationally speaking, the participation of Hope's basketball team in the NCAA national finals brought out the fact that we don't know how to take such activities in our stride. Personal de-cision to attend final playoffs was purely a matter of individual choice and responsibility.

The entire academic program (in behalf of which our college was formed) need not come to a halt at the immature demands of students to have the administration stop classes for the dura-tion of the playoffs.

The regional tournaments at Wheaton were a completely en-joyable weekend festivity for all, but our team was. able to go beyond this. They went to Evansville, which certainly was rough on their own studies, but the school would be defeating its pur-pose for existence in letting out 1200 students, most of whom could not afford the trip to Evansville anyway.

If suffering is the word for it, Hope College certainly does "suffer" from this ruling, if indeed we would have been invited to the Great Lakes Regional. But we are definitely not being pur-posefully punished for anything.

Hope College does not offer athletic scholarships; our sports program is a complete and strong one; it fulfills well its. vital role in our educational institution and contributes to a strong and well-balanced Hope College.

If we were to be objective about the MIAA ruling it would be quite clear that this ruling actually expresses the very sportsman-ship ethics that is embodied in the Hope College sports program.

For the general good of MIAA sports, and educationally, the ruling is a good one. Our team is the finest in Hope's history for reasons other than tournament aspirations. No doubt we can all look forward to a certain "G-day" when we can offer deserving praise and sincere congratulation to a team of excellent athletes and true sportsmen.

Review: Breakfast At Tiffany's/ By Truman Capote; Speak In Whisper

by Richard J. Jaarsma

Holly Golighty is a phony. 0 . J . Herman, her onetime Holly-wood agent and now her pater-

nal friend, says so.

But there is a differ-e n c e , h e c l a i m s , "She's a real phony.

She believ-es all this . . . that she believes."

And that, more or less, is Holly Golightly; a wild, tender debu-tante who's address is no place and whose personal cards list her home as "Traveling."

• • »

Her apartment is the head-quarters of an assortment of drug addicts, homesexulas, stut-tering chorus girls, naval offi-cers and a minor diplomat named Juan.

Rusty Trawlers, a lover of Holly's now gone to seed also frequently drops in for a drink, necessitating kid gloves for all in the room when he comes around.

Ilis father was an anchist and his mother died of shock when his father was killed by one of his brothers in the trade, leav-ing Rusty a millionare at the age of five.

With such characters the plot is spicy and tragic at the same time.

Rusty marries the stuttering chorus girl, Mag Wildwood, and Holly takes up with Juan, the

Brazilian who seemingly was in love with Mag.

When Holly becomes preg-nant and involved in a drug scandal (in which she is inno-cent) Juan feels that things are getting too hot and using the excuse that he must think of his family, takes a Latin Amer-ican powder.

Holly loses the baby, jumps bail and flies to Rio, not, as one might think to get Juan back, but to leave her past behind her and start fresh; starting fresh in this case maening pretty much what she has been doing only in different country.

• • •

Holly's real name is Lulamae Barnes, from Tulip, Texas.

She was married to Doc Go-lightly, a horse doctor, and one day in her walks down the road, she "just kept on."

Holly is a "wild thing." She admits it. "That was Doc's mis-take" she says. He was always lugging home wild things." The dream cannot be captured.

• * »

Capote's treatment of this theme is easy, delicate and soft.

He does not preach; he mere-ly states a fact. He offers no conclusion; no salvation; he only calls for and hopes for a

place for Holly, and by impli-cation, for us, to belong.

The significance of the title is not a minor thing.

This is Holly's passion-some day to eat at Tiffany's, the showplace of her world. .

The author intimates, in the end of the book that she has finally reached this plateau, but we don't really know; and if she has, what then?

Truman Capote's mastery of characterization is quite evident in this novel.

His people are s t r o n g l y drawn with a minimum of des-cription. They come out through what the writer says. about them.

They're an odd lot, but one is impressed by their essential humanity, good or bad.

In sketching the character of Holly, Capote seems to have pulled out all the stops and presents us with someone who is not easily forgettable.

The author's tone is poignant and sympathetic and we feel that even though he may not understand Holly Golightly, he is very much interested in her welfare.

All in all, the book speaks, not loudly, but in an insiduous whisper.

Hautzig Presents Concert At Civic Monday by Jim Michmerhuizen

Mr. Walter Hautzig marched onto the stage of the Holland Civic Center last Monday night, glanced at the audience and gravely acknowledged its ap-plause, and proceeded to bang, thump, growl and hum his way through one of the finest con-certs of the season.

With a curious blend of non-chalance and spine-tingling en-

ergy he demonstrated his mas-tery of Mozart, Schubert, De-bussy, and particularly Chopin.

The concert began with a charming little aperitif in the form of — and this was a wel-come switch from the usual Bach-Busoni transcription — a Marcello-Bach aria, transcribed by the master from a concerto for oboe and strings by Bene-detto Marcello.

Time for Action Last September, the women of the sophomore class were

chaotically bid into the five sororities on Hope's campus. Upset, clamor, and dissatisfaction resulted in the five sororities

as they received girls they did not want and in turn girls received sororities they did not want.

Now we are entering a new semester in which decisions for the following year are being made.

fate appears. In the fall, the administration appointed a committee to ex-

amine the problem. In December in an interview, one of the committee women

said that no concrete decisions or tentative plans could be offered by the committee.

In total, the committee didn't even do enough to warrant news coverage in the school paper.

Now it is the middle of February. The committee is advancing in that it is meeting with the Pan-Hellenic Board and is consider-ing this boards plan for action.

But, still with the school year more than one-half over, this problem that is years old is not receiving the attention that it deserves. Facts speak for themself. Today the freshmen sorority Alpha

Mr. Hautzig appeared, during the performance of this tiny work, to be wondering where all the sound was going to, as did the audience.

Once accustomed, or rather resigned, to the acoustics of the auditorium, he appeared more at ease, and gave a superlative rendition of a short passacaglia by Handel and the F minor fan-tasia, K. 608, by Mozart — the same that was performed here last fall by Carl Weinrich.

A pre-intermission c l i m a x was the Schubert fantasy; un-der Mr. Hautzig's hands this difficult work became a thing alive, vigorous and unforgetta-ble.

FW better or worse, this dy-namism appeared unabated in the Debussy that followed the intermission, and rendered the last two of Bartok's Roumanian Folk Dances almost unintelligi-ble in the tempo at which Mr. Hautzig chose for them.

This was forgotten in the large Chopin group that con-cluded the program. H e r e everything was perfect, abso-lutely so; one almost felt the audience begin to sway in uni-son under the hypnotic com-mand of rubato, accelerando, and the rest of Chopin's enorm-ous musical vocabulary.

Freshman President Describes Alaskan Life and Experiences

by Patricia Anne Pelon The richest and the most cul-

I am speaking of none other than the freshman class presi-dent, James William "B i 11" Thomas.

JIM SAYS ABOUT ALASKA THAT there is not much differ-ence between it and the United States. The climate is about the same only he feels that we get more snow here and that it gets colder.

(Jim also mentioned the fact that he often got the chills here . . .) The clothing is the same, the food more expensive, and the school system, Jim feels is much higher.

/ would deal more on Alaska it-

sell for you, but on the 18th of

February, Jim is going to be the

speaker at Alaskan Night.

At this meeting Jim is going to show some slides he has tak-en of his state, and is going to give a fifteen minute oration entitled.

"Send Me Men to Match My Mountains," a talk which will tell us more of the beauty, the riches, and the challenges that the 49th state has to offer. See you all at Alaskan Night on the 18th at 8:00 o'clock in the Julianna Room.

Jim was born on February 14, 194-, in a fishing village called Yakotat, which is located in the Alaskan pan-handle.

Jim would however, like to take up the course of law and to become a lawyer in Alaska.

If possible, he would prefer to get into the field of politics and is aiming for a senatorship of Alaska. This though, takes education and for Jim, his be-gan a t the grammar school in Yakutat.

Jim completed the eighth grade there at Yakutat and then left his home and his family for Sitka, Alaska, where he at-tended the Sheldon Jackson Jun-ior College and High School.

Jim feels that this act of leaving home so early is what makes the Alaskan youth more mature than we Americans of the continent.

At the close of the first se-mester at Sheldon, Jim trans-ferred to Holland High School. When asked his thoughts of the teenagers to whose land he was coming, Jim replied:

"I pictured the teenagers as kids in jeans, sneering and fight-ing with each other."

He says though, that when he ar-

rived here, he found the people

most cordial and friendly and im-

mediately changed his impression

The remainder of his sopho-more year and his entire junior year were "my years of in-activity. Those were the Dark Ages of my life."

In Jim's senior year however, he was revived enough to take over the judgeship of Holland high and the presidency of the Choir and the French Club.

He also sang the part of Ali in "Oklahoma". Here at Hope Jim is president of the fresh-man class and is an active mem-ber of Chapel Choir.

semester of her senior year.

The fact of the matter is, our conversation proved, this is not her first such experience. This veteran of foreign travel spent the summer of 1957 in Chile as a Holland Community Ambas-sador where she lived with a Spanish family.

As well as Latin countries. Barb has visited abroad as a participant in the Vienna Sum-mer School in Austria.

THIS LINGUIST liked to keep her new acquaintances guessing her national back-ground.

She speaks fluent German and French as well as Spanish and English!

With Spanish music pulsating in the background, we discussed her recent semester at Mexico City University.

There she studied advanced Spanish composition, speech, and grammar in competition with students whose native language was Spanish.

Practice teaching was includ-ed in the curriculum and placed her in a private school where the enrollment included both Mexican and American children.

Tentatively Barb's plans for next fall include either gradu-ate work or the launching of a teaching career.

This coming summer she would like to visit friends in Mexico. Expressing the title of one of her books, Barb can say with its author, My Heart Lies South.

Special Feature

Is It Worth A Bargain? By Leander Wang

In the light of Mr. Chandler's article, "Recognize Red China For Interest Of State," I would like to express some of my own opinions about this important issue even though I am not one of those "informed students" who are in the main stream of avant-garde thinking.

Before getting into the issue, every student should be aware of the fact that political and international problems are not sim-ple and unconnected.

The recognition of . . . Red China by the U.S. is no simple problem. It involves not

just the U.S. and Red China, but also the entire Free World and Communist World.

Every step taken by either side is going to affect both sides. How can the U.S. recognize Red China for her own interest, as Mr. Chandler put it?

Are we not deluding ourselves when we say that "the most valuable immediate result of such a course of action would be the fact that we would gain valuable listening posts inside Red China as a result of being able to establish diplomatic missions in that country?" '

Look at Russia which has diplomatic relations with the U.S. Is the U.S. gaining much from the "valuable listening posts" in Russia when everything in Russia is kept in secret?

Can the U.S. "get a better idea of what's going on behind the bamboo curtain" when Red China is so much like Russia in this respect ?

Just how much is the U.S. going to gain if she recognizes Red China?

Is it going to solve all the problems in the Far East once and for all as

most Americans imagine?

Doesn't the recognition mean that Red China can carry one step further in her aim of conquering the rest of Asia, and even-tually the whole world? What can be worse than allowing the Reds to step in gradually?

How much more can the Free World afford to lose after the

losses in Europe, China, Korea, and Indo-China?

Mr. Chandler thinks . . . That "it is absurd to think that by supporting Chiang we arc

thereby supporting freedom in Southeast Asia." In my opinion, this conclusion reveals a lack of careful ob-

servation. Isn't the Republic of China considered as part of the Free World?

Isn't she the symbol of fighting against the invasion of Com-munists? Doesn't the support of the U.S. give confidence and hope to all non-Communist countries?

By supporting this symbol the American government can, at least, show the non-Communist countries that the U.S. is still de-fending freedom and justice.

Others think that by making the Republic of China a neutral country, to make possible the recognition of Red China, can solve the problem too. This sounds like a very good solution. But, aren't we failing

to realise the world-revolution attitude of the Reds? Do you think the Reds would abandon their plan of conquering the world ?

Isn't India a well-known neutral country? Why was it that India should lose 40,000 square miles of land that used to belong to India and is now under Communist control? Didn't the Reds take it by military force?

Lefs look at Formosa . . . From the strategical point of view, I like what Mr. Chandler

said in his article. He said, "For considerations of strategy, we seem to have little choice

but to back up any regime on Formosa which will be friendly toward the

U.S." This explains very well why I said that the Free World can afford

to lose no more to the Reds.

And now, let us look at Red China herself. Let us not push ourselves too fa r back into the ten-year history of Red China but rather limit ourselves to just a few important events that happened in 1959.

These events speak for themselves against the recognition of Red

China: / mentioned India already. We saw that India lost 40,000 square

miles of land, ten people were killed, and ten were taken POW during

last Autum.

This shows their aim of conquering the world. The commune system which they enforced throughout China not only broke up families but also caused the economic instability.

People suffered from starvation because they produced only about 50% of their original planned figure in crops. People were treated no better than animals.

Many died because of hunger and over-working. Should the U.S. recognize a country like that? During last spring, there was a great anti-Communist revolution in Tibet.

The Reds used military force to stop the revolution. The re-sult was that about 65,000 Tibetans were estimated to be killed and the God-king fortunately escaped from Tibet into India.

In conclusion, I would like to say that the recogni-tion of Red China would mean the recognition of every action she takes, either good or bad. As fa r as interests are concerned, I would say that there

would be no gains but losses for the U.S. The recognition would not solve but complicate the worlds problems.

Let us not think of self-interests but rather righteousness and justice. Let us protect the fundamental right of man which is freedom.

Flying Dutchmen Split Close Contests Central

Takes Hope 81-82

Saturday night at the Hol-land Civic Center, the Flying Dutchmen yeilded to a last quarter push by a Central State of Ohio team for the second time this season, in another thrilling ball game.

The score remained relatively balanced in the first part of the game, and was 37-35 in favor of Hope at the half. In the third quarter, the Dutchmen be-gan to roll up a significant lead, and had a comfortable fifteen point margin at the beginning of the final quarter.

At that time, the boys from Central, not-so-con-servatively a t t i r e d i n orange shorts and yellow jerseys with red lettering, demonstrated t h a t t h e y were also dazzling ball-handlers, and gradually cut down the lead. A basket by Turner Russell,

Central's high scorer for the evening, put them in front 82 to 81.

This also proved to be the final score of the ball game, despite a basket by Ray Ritsema, which was nulli-fied because the timer had not started the clock. The Central State team was

one of the most colorful to ap-pear at the Civic Center this season, not only by virtue of their uniforms, but because of their dexterity in rebounding and ball handling, and the speed and dribbling of S'Q" Turner Russell.

The Hope team was bothered by the towering forwards, and a general difficulty in convert-ing some of its easier scoring opportunities.

it! 5 o'clock! Why would the alarm clock be ringing at that hour? As I groped my way out of bed in search of the alarm switch I remembered . . .

Today was the day of the ski trip and along with some seven-ty other people I began to gather my gear for the jour-ney.

The group left from Holland half asleep but with maps and directions ready so they would not get lost. Being so early in the morning very little traffic was encountered so good time was made.

Arriving at Lake Valley Re-sort around ten o'clock they headed immediately to the of-fice for cabin assignments.

As soon as they had picked out beds they headed for the ski shop to get boots and a pair of skis.

Those who got there in time received a pair immediately, but the late comers had to wait for a shipment of them that was arriving late in the after-noon.

So the unfortunate ones re-paired to the ski lodge to wait and warm up. In the meantime, the fortunates with skis, took to the slopes immediately. Those who had skied before had no trouble getting started, but of course the majority of the group consisted of beginners.

There were several able in-structors there, but all the be-ginners, even with those good teachers, had their qualms about going down, especially when they observed the experts go down at top speed.

But somehow they all got down and learned on a smaller hill. Some got a bit too ambi-tious because they tried to do too much and thus hurt them-selves, fortunately the casual-ties were classified only as very

badly sprained ankles and legs, and no broken bones were re-ported.

At night the group had a party at which they got better acquainted with our group and also iwth another group that was there from Henry Ford Col-lege.

For the experts night skiing was also provided. Next day, Sunday, several of us went to church, that is if they could make it out of our beds and un-tangle our stiff muscles.

Along with the skiing, tobog-ganing and skating were pro-vided, or for those who were not very sports minded, many trails could be followed which led to very beautiful and picturesque scenery.

At night the group had an-other party where all types of card games were to be found, and for those who wanted more exercise, dancing was provided.

Next day, a f ter a good lunch and one more time on the slope, the group packed the cars and with a sigh of regret said good-by to Lake Valley and wearily came back for Hope and a new semester.

Calvin Loses To Dutchmen

In Final Moments Of Play Ever since the dissolutionment of the game played

during* the mid-term vacation, the Hope College cage squad has run into stiff opposition, notably from its arch-rival Calvin, and a relatively new opponent, Central State of Ohio.

In both games, the outcome was in doubt until the last seconds, and a spectacular comeback drive decided the issue, but the home team emerged victorious in only the Calvin game.

From the standpoint of Dutch fans, the Calvin game was the From the standpoint of

Reid Rates High

Starting at a guard position on the '59-'60 Hope cage team one finds a relatively short, flashy redhead known to most as "The Fly."

"The Fly" is a 19 year old, 165 lb., 5'10" sophomore from Kenmore, New York who is also known as Bob Reid.

Bob was brought up to var-sity af ter two games last year and was the number seven man most of the year.

This year "The Fly" has started every game and sure proved himself, especially a-gainst Calvin. Bob also plays baseball for Hope, assuming a starting role in centerfield.

In High School Bob was con-nected with four sports. In his freshman year it was cross country, basketball and baseball.

As a sophomore he de-cided football was a more interesting fall sport and saw three years of action as end and halfback. "Fly" was all-league Honorable mention in the Niagara Frontier Basketball league as a senior.

That spring more honors came his way as he was first string All-League and also all Western New York centerfield-er.

This brought the New York Yankees to his door with an in-vitation to spring training, and the St. Louis Cardinals with a class D contract.

The "Fly" however, had dif-ferent ideas and came to Hope.

Dutch fans, the Calvin game was the far more crucial of the two, not only because a victory would give the team an un-blemished M.I.A.A. record of eight wins without a defeat and a clear field in the race for the league championship, but be-cause of the intense rivalry be-tween the two schools.

The Hope starting five jumped off to a fourteen point lead before the Cal-vin Knights could pene-trate the Dutch defense, and managed, though not without difficulty, to hold a commanding lead until half-time, when the score was 47-35. The second half began with a

complete reversal of the scor-ing action. Calvin came back, as expected, and cut the Hope lead, went on to take a comfort-able lead of its own.

At this point, with only five minutes remaining in the game, the "other three" men on the Hope start ing line-up, whose play is sometimes overshadowed by the high-scoring perform-ances of the Dutch co-captains, Ray Ritsema and Warren Van-der Hill, began to attempt what seemed hopeless.

Bob Reid, Jim Vander Hill and Bill Vanderbilt, playing a dangerously of-fensive type of defense, (in view of the fact that they had eleven personal fouls between them), constantly badgered the Knights at-tack, stealing the ball on several occasions and caus-ing general confusion in the ranks of the visitors. With the score knotted at 80

apiece. Warren Vander Hill came through with one of his patented jump shots to push the Hollanders into a precari-ous lead.

Bill Vanderbilt put the game on ice in the remaining few sec-onds when he successfully con-verted the two foul shots a-warded him due to the over-zealousness of a Calvin guard.

The high scorer fo r the even-ing was Co-captain Vander Hill with thirty-three points.

The fact that the victory was a team effort is evidenced by the scoring totals, as each of the start ing five broke into dou-ble figures. Hank De Mots led the Knights with 24.
