Protest IM. J. IXIon-Suffrage Students Want Absentee Ballot

A resolution protes t ing the un-

availability of absentee ballots fo r

persons t e m p o r a r i l y out of the

s ta te of New Jersey was drawn up

last week by Mr. Clyde Geerlings.

A copy of the resolution was sent

to the governor of New Jersey, another to the members of the s ta te senate, and a third to the New Jersey assembly.

Last summer V e r l a i n e S i t e r found out tha t absentee ballots f rom N e w J e r s e y could be ob-tained only fo r servicemen, and decided to see if something could bi! done. Verlaine, Dr. Irwin Lub-bers, Mr. G e e r l i n g s , a n d Dick Reineman talked the ma t t e r over. .As a result of this meet ing Dr. Lubbers proposed tha t a resolution be drawn up in protest , and t h a t all the s tudents f rom New Jersey sign it.

Mr. Geerlings is t ak ing charge of the publicity. The United Press is very interested in the s tory, and the New Jersey papers will also receive the news. It is hoped that the action of these s tudents will bring results.

Like CapL Video, Hope Goes TV

Detroit bound on September 30th were Mr. Clyde Geerlings, Profes-sor Robert Cavanaugh, Verlaine Siter, Helena Gill, Don Lubbers, and Bob Dethmers . T h e g r o u p appeared in the "Grab Bag" TV program, present ing c e r t a i n as-pects of Hope college. It is one of a series of p rog rams on Michigan colleges. Mr. Paul Williams and Mrs. Sallye Chambers of W W J -TV interviewed the representat ives .

Our tradit ion of Dutch Trea t Week appeared very a t t rac t ive to Mr. Williams, who suggested such a system be placed on a national basis! During the ha l f -hour pro-gram the topics of conversation ranged f rom the Steelman Report to the dishwashing appa ra tu s in the kitchen of Durfee Hall . An invitation was e x t e n d e d to Mr. Cavanaugh f o r one of our musical organizat ions to appear on this program next Spring.

Above are the Hope students from New Jersey who signed the resolution protesting the lack of absentee ballots. They are not all 21, but it is the principle of the thing. Michigan offers a fine answer if the protest fails. Married students may vote in Holland.

Revised Tally

Shows Drop

In Enrollment Revised figures on this year ' s

enrollment in comparison with last

year 's figures a t the same t ime

were released by Dr. Lubbers. Last

year 's full time s tudent enrol lment

a : this time was 798, 30 more than

the present figure. The f reshmen

numbered 232 last year, only eleven

more than this year 's f reshmen

class. The evening college classes

have 70 enrolled, which shows a

sl ight encrease over last year ' s

evening enrollment.

These revised figures a re based

on the number of s tudents enrolled

Evolution Of HomecbAiing Celebration Tradition will be renewed this weekend for the 25th con-

secutive year when Hope Alumni f rom all over the United States ga the r in Holland to celebrate Homecoming. The fes-tivities have been an annual affair ever since November 9, 1928, when the first Homecoming celebration was held.

Down through the years, there have been some changes and additions made in the program, but the general signifi-cance of the weekend remains the same fo r every member of the r e tu rn ing alumni. I t provides an opportuni ty to meet old f r iends , and wander around the t ra in ing grounds where so many people have spent some of the best years of their lives.

In 1928, the first Homecoming was highlighted by the big parade on Friday evening followed by a pep-rally at Riverview Park. The football game on Sa turday was pre-ceded by another pa rade to the park. The l i terary societies

present on campus at the time also entertained their visi t ing alumni.

In 1933 the Frosh-Soph athletic fight and pull were in-cluded in the Homecoming celebration on Thursday a f t e r -noon ; but the following year were held again as a separa te event preceding Homecoming, and not until 1945 did they become a regular pa r t of the program. Since then the ath-letic fight between the two classes has been dropped, and now only the Pull remains.

The year 1937 s tands out f o r the fac t tha t Miss Mar jo ry Moody was named Hope's first Homecoming Queen, although actual coronation ceremonies seem not to have appeared until a later year.

World W a r II a t tempted to in te r rup t the scheme of things, but the Hope women wouldn't let it happen. In 1944, there was a drast ic lack of men on the Hope campus, but t radi t ion prevailed as r e tu rn ing alumni were greeted by a fest ive

celebration, this year f ea tu r ing two touch-football squads of Hope's coeds competing agains t each other.

In 1946 Homecoming was resumed in t rue pre-war style with the regular football game and f r a t e rn i t y par t ies on Saturday, and the parade, pep rally, and Frosh-Soph pull on Fr iday af te rnoon and evening.

1948 marked the beginning of Homecoming exactly as we know it today: the annual tug-of-war on F r iday a f t e r -noon, coronation of the queen and her court on Fr iday eve-ning, parade on Sa turday morning, and football game in the af ternoon. This year it also became t radi t ional f o r Palet te and Masque to present a Homecoming production, and fo r the singles tennis tournament to be played off.

This year more veterans of Hope than ever before a re expected to ga ther on the campus to witness the activities which constitute Homecoming, Hope's most cherished t r a -dition.

Faculty-Students Discuss

Hope's Co-Curricular Program The lollow-up meet ing of The Facul ty ' s Pre-School Conference was

held last Wednesday with the eleven s tudents who at tended the Pros-pect Point meet ing again par t ic ipat ing. The ten ta t ive resolutions drawn up at the pre-school discussion of "The Role of Co-Curricular Activities in a College Education" and re-cast by a sub-committee of faculty members and students were brought up fo r revision and

adoption. The resul t of the meeting was

the adoption of a set of principles designed to make Hope's co-cur-ricular p rogram more effective in

meet ing the objectives of a Chris-tian Liberal A r t s College. This year each of the college's co-cur-ricular activit ies will have an op-portuni ty to evaluate itself in t e rms of p u r p o s e s , organization, and

membership. Several specific cri-teria were named which should be used in the evaluation process, one of them being tha t s tudent desire

and interest should be the first rea-son fo r the existence of an ac-tivity. Other aspects of the co-curr icular program which figure prominently in the resolutions are

the role of the facul ty sponsor or advisor, the social ad jus tment of the s tudent , the function of the

honorary society, and the relation-ship between the curr icular and the co-curricular p rog ram.

The problem of over or under part icipation of individual s tudents

in co-curricular activities received a good deal of a t tent ion at the conference. It was fel t by most of

those in a t tendance tha t individual counseling is the best means fo r effecting a proper balance in the s tudent ' s activities.

The adopted resolutions will be re fer red to the Student Direction Committee, a facul ty-s tudent com-mittee, fo r action. The Student

Council is to be kept fully in-formed of all decisions made and of all proposed s teps to be taken. Upon the conclusion of this im-por tant business, the entire group

adjourned to the Jul iana Room for dinner.

From Jack . . . To the Classes of 1953, 1954, and

1955: For years it has been my duty

and pleasure to rub out the bumps and bruises of Hopeites. However, last Thursday morning in chapel I found myself unable to rub out the lump in my own throat or to tape myself toge ther well enough to begin to express my apprecia-tion and thanks f o r the surpr ise you gave me.

Even a veteran coach who has withstood the tension of inumer-able c r u c i a l m o m e n t s in spor ts events can fumble the ball when the play is a t his base.

Since spor ts will a lways be close t j my heart , there is nothing you cculd have given me that will a f -ford more pleasure than television. However, it will never replace the memories of fine games played in Hope men and the pleasure of my personal contact with you students.

Mrs. Schouten and I great ly ap-preciate your g i f t . We are sorry that we cannot thank each and every one of you personally.

Jack

Dear Edi tor :

No doubt you are fami l ia r with

the t remendous volume of groans

tha t a lways ar ise whenever the

announcement is made in the dining

halls tha t the evening meal will

be cafe ter ia instead of the usual

" fami ly-s ty le ." I, too, a lways re-

gre t this change and can never

look forward to it with any amount

of glee.

H o w e v e r I a m p a r t i c u l a r l y

peeved, not so much by the cafe-

ter ia itself, but r a the r by the a t -

t i tudes of many s tudents towards

it. We as s tudents natura l ly com-plain about such an horrible in-convenience as this, but the fac t remains tha t if we want to eat, we must go through a cafe ter ia line.

Now this wouldn' t be so bad, if each person would "go t h rough" the line. But is it f a i r to the person who honestly takes his place at the end of the line to have to wait an ex t ra hal f -hour because some stu-dents t h i n k t h e y h a v e special privileges merely because a f r iend at the beginning of the line who would be only too glad to let him t?ke "cu t s "? Is it f a i r to the person who believes in " f a i r play as the best way" to have to wai t twenty minutes longer because a girl f r om the third ( o r s e c o n d ) floor is " sav ing" p l a c e s fo r ten of her f r iends who a re still s tudying or doing something else? It is even a g g r a v a t i n g to tha t conscientious person who has waited thirty-five minutes in line to have a wai ter or d ishwasher s tep in f r o n t of him as soon as he ge ts to the serving table.

It seems to me that if Hope Col-lege s tudents dislike cafe ter ia so much, they could do something to make this a l ready unpleasant con-dition a little more bearable by being more considerate of others . A f t e r all, the fellow at the end of the line, who is t ry ing to do the right thing, is jus t as hungry as the one who cuts in — probably more so, because he has been sub-jected to the pains of wait ing in line and watching others s tep r ight up to the table and EAT. If we dislike cafeter ia , let 's keep the dis-like a t a minimum. Let 's practice the spiri t of f a i r play tha t Hope is noted for on i ts athletic teams and other inter-school activities. Let 's not ruin our appearance to o thers by becoming corrupt within ourselves.

Sincerely,

Wayne C. Olson

What A Plight! How To Select One From Eight

Once again the time has come to honor eight selected beauties f r o m the four classes on campus. And again it is time to select the " fa i res t of the f a i r " , one among the eight to become our Homecoming Queen. This year, as always, two women have been selected by each of the classes.

Seniors Connie Hinga, a resident of Castle Park , is well known to

most of us because she has been active in many organiza-tions on campus during the past three years . Chief among these organizat ions are the Women's Glee Club and Chapel Choir. A g radua te of Holland Chris t ian High, Connie is m a j o r i n g in Elementary Education and is now practice teaching at the Washington School Kindergar ten. Connie has an avid interest in horses and r iding and has given riding instruction to children a t Castle P a r k dur ing pas t summers. However, Connie spent last summer in Missouri, for the most par t , with her husband. Pvt . "Bill" Hinga.

The other senior candidate is Ann Ver Meulen, who came to Hope last year as a t r a n s f e r junior f r o m Pine Manor Junior College in Wellesley, Massachusetts . Ann is a grad-uate of East Grand Rapids High School. She is ma jo r ing in English and French, as well as Elementary Education. Right now Ann is practice teaching in the second grade a t Lincoln School. During the past summer she took a summer school course in French at Aquinas College in Grand Rapids. Among her favori te pastimes, "Annie" lists bridge and horseback r iding.

Juniors Nan Johnson, a junior candidate f rom Har t land, Mich-

igan, includes sports, music and a r t among her special in-terests. She is an accomplished organis t and pianist . In addition to her studies, Nan somehow finds time to do the a r t work for which she is in demand. She is responsible fo r a large share of the new and di f ferent posters you see dis-played on campus. The jun ior class is fo r tuna te to have Nan as a candidate, because she had the opportuni ty to go to Italy with her parents , and was seriously considering not coming back this year.

Winnie Koopsen, a jun io r f r o m Kalamazoo and a g radua te of Kalamazoo Central High School, is also an elementary education m a j o r . She is interested in a r t and especially jewelry-making, in which she has proved her skill. F i r s t among her likes of outdoor spor t s comes sailing, a past ime with which she is well acquainted. Winnie is an active mem-ber of the Women's Activities League on campus.

Sophomores Carole Hoffs, a sophomore f r o m Lake Odessa, Michigan, is

especially interested in music. She is a member of the Women's Glee Club and the Chapel Choir. She is also the president of Van Vleck Hall. Carole plans to m a j o r in English. Her summer was spent counselling at a Y camp in Hastings, Michigan.

Ba rba ra Br inks of Jenison, Michigan, a g radua te of Grandville High School, is the second sophomore candidate. Barbara ' s summer was divided between working in a res-t au ran t and in her f a the r ' s grocery store. She likes to swim and play tennis and is active in in t ramura l sports a t Hope. She plans on going into social work a f t e r she is through college. At present she is an active member of the Spanish Club, and the Women's Activities League.

Freshmen Lois Tornga, one of the f r e s h m a n choices, comes f r o m

Grand Rapids, Michigan, where she at tended Ottawa Hills and Grand Rapids Chris t ian High Schools. In pas t sum-mers, she has taken summer school a r t courses here at Hope. The sport tha t Lois likes best is water skiing. She plans to go into dental hygiene a f t e r college.

Ba rba ra Lowing is a f r e shman f r o m Hudsonville, Mich-igan. Ba rba ra enjoys all classical music and plans to m a j o r in music. Her summer was spent doing secretarial work in the Hudsonville High School, her Alma Mater . Barbara says she enjoys watching all sports.

These are the eight gir ls selected by their classmates on the basis of beauty, poise, and charm. Of these, seven will make up the court and one will become queen. Now the weighty problem lies in the hands of the male judges who will be "burdened" with the task of selecting Hope's Home-coming Queen fo r 1952. The winner will be announced at tonight 's coronation ceremony.

T Miss ion Drioc Focused On Building Mexican Church

The Young Men's and Young

Women's C h r i s t i a n Associations

have announced t h a t the annual Mission Drive will be held Decem-ber 3.

Each year Hope students and faculty members contribute to some mission p r o j e c t . This year the object of the drive will be the Chiapas Mission in Mexico. Rev. John R. Kempers, father of Kathy and Dave, students on our campus, directs this mission field.

Recently, because of the marvel-ous expansion of the mission into Tapachula, the construction of a new church was planned and be-gun. As a result of the energetic and willing work of the people of Tapachula and the substantial sup-port from the Reformed Church

Board of Domestic Missions, the hope for a new church has been realized. Necessary additions such as windows and doors will be made as soon as more funds are available.

Hope's part in the Tapachula church will be the furnishing of part of the new building. Our offer was gratefully accepted. Our challenge to m e e t our g o a l of $2,000 comes in a recent letter f iom Dr. Kempers as he asks, "I wonder whether you can imagine how happy and grateful the church will be for this spontaneous help from a body of mission-minded students toward the furnishing of their church." Through the Christ-ian giving of Hope's students and faculty, the Y's feel sure that they will be able to attain their goal.

Two Homecoming Impressions A Near-Grad...

By Carl D. Jordan, Jr.

Homecoming has been an American t radi t ion since, well, since the Pur i t an f a t h e r s brought home the bacon. At Hope probably no other t radi t ion brings out more tears, laugh-ter, nostalgia, remembrances or alumni than homecoming. But it 's not jus t an alumni show for i t 's those tha t are home tha t work behind and in f r o n t of the scenes, loving every minute of it and pil ing up a great stock of coffee talk fo r the day they, too, will be alumni.

An Alumnus... By George Lumsden

I was j u s t a little shocked (and a lot pleased) when Carl

Jo rdan suggested tha t 1 wri te a short item on Homecoming

a la Alumnus. I admit t ha t I've slipped considerably in the

past few years, but 1 had always pictured the average alum-

nus as one who bulged a t the middle, smoked luxurious

cigars, complained about the diminishing hair on his head

and the increasing hair on his chin, had influence and afflu-

ence, and got box seats on the fifty-yard line. Actually, all I can boast is a little grey at the temples and the lean look of one who has learned that "life is real, life is earnes t ."

This year the Student Council is t ak ing definite steps to

To realize this aim several impor tant changes will take

place in this year ' s rules.

The teams will flip a coin to choose sides, the winner

Counseling Offices Under New System

Dr. Harold Haverkamp, former director of counseling at Hope College, loft last August to fill the position of Dean at Central College, Pella, Iowa. While at Hope, he was also Professor of Psychology and head of the Psychology Depart-ment. Dr. Haverkamp received his Ph.D. this past summer at the Universi ty of Iowa. His resignation made necessary a reorganization of the counseling facili t ies for Hope stu-dents and faculty, of which he was the head for several years.

Under the reorganized system, a

s tudent personnel board comprised

of Dean Hin^a . cha i rman; Dean

Keeverts, Dean Hollenbach, Mr.

Timmer , and Dr. Brand, is t ak ing

over the ent i re responsibili ty of counseling which Dr. Haverkamp former ly car r ied alone. Mr. Tim-mer is in cha rge of the test ing and vocational guidance program for all Hope s tudents ; Dr. Brand

is now director of the ent i re f resh-man or ienta t ion program. For per-sonal problems and guidance, stu-dents are advised to see the deans.

The board as a whole is in charge of the counseling files and

ass igning counselors to s tudents fo r their f r e shman and sophomore years , or until they enter a ma jo r field.

The counseling offices on the first floor of Van Raalte have been

shif ted somewhat to faci l i ta te the new setup. Mr. Timmer has taken the fo rmer counseling office, No. Ill); Dr. Hollenbach is s i tuated in

Mr. T immer ' s office of last year. The inner office between Dean

Hinga and Dean Hollenbach's of-fices is for the keeping of files and s tudent records. Mrs. Tell inghuisen,

competent secre tary of the coun-seling service, is a lways accessible, and is eager to help those who go to the office f o r assistance.

One idea behind the inner office is that all counselors will now

have f ree access to the files. It is also planned to make even more efficient Hope College's excellent counseling services.

Junior? Neuer Heard Of The Little Rascal Dear Mom,

I've been here for a month now and think maybe I'd bet ter wri te a le t te r home — No, I don't need any money. Not yet!

At first most of our time was spent s tanding in one line a f t e r the other . In fact , for three days I stood in line in the Chapel base-ment wai t ing to try out fo r Chapel Choir. Too late I found tha t this line was wai t ing to join A.S.A., so now I'm in the Men's Glee Club. The Glee Club was founded at Hope in 1^24, and many enjoyable concei ts have been given since then. There a re thirty-five mem-bers in the Club this year , and it is directed by Prof. Robert W. C a v a n a u g h ( s t r a ) a g o o d I r i s h -

Dutchman. At our second r e h e a r s a l we

elected officers for this year. Be-ing new 1 didn' t know many of the nominees, but the "old" mem-bers listed the i r qualifications, so I cas t my vote like any good citi-zen. The group, however, felt very badly tha t Nick Pool f rom New Jersey could not vote. (No absen-tee ballot.) Nevertheless the final count showed Don J a n s m a f rom Morrison, Illinois as pres ident ; Ed "Cuddles" Viening f rom Holland as vice-president; and LeRoy Nat -t ress f rom San Francisco, Cali-fornia as secre tary- t reasurer .

We rehearse during eighth hour every Tuesday and Thursday a f t e r -noons, two full hours without credi t ! Oh well, they tell us tha t sron we will have to quit our classes to keep up with the extra-curr icu-lar activities.

Have to run to class so will close until next time.

Love, J r .

P.S. Say, Mom, I 'm going to need a tux — No, not a girl — The Glee Club wear s them when they

.give concerts.

Captain Brown, tactical Spanish exper t of Hope College, recently re-turne»? f rom a three months recon-naissance mission throughout Eur -ope, reported recently to the h igher echelon, educational division, loca-ted in Holland Michigan. The cap-tain was invest igat ing possibilities of a full scale student landing next summer in the invasion of Europe.

He reported the possibility of two volunteer landings next sum-mer, one in France and one in Spain. The cost per person would be $750 and the t r ip would last close to a month. The price would nclude every th ing except spending

money. Two trips would leave, one in mid-June and one in mid-July. The i t inerary would cover approxi-mately .'i,()()(l miles. A combination

of both t r ips would cost $1,080. Captain Brown continued his re-

por t : On July 1 we were put ashore

a t Barcelona with one car and sup-plies. We headed south to escape the heat and wound up in the Sierra Nevada with car trouble. A f t e r ' a run-in with the Spanish border patrol , we had some of our films confiscated, and so moved out of the Pyrenees and into Madrid.

From Madrid we visited Toledo, S< govia, and Granada, finally wind-ii.g up in Lisbon, Portugal . Lisbon got dull so we pushed on back into Spain. Sant iago de Compostella, La Corruna, and Burgos fell under our heels b e f o r e we discovered France and gay Paree.

Here we hit such old favor i tes as Toulousse, Carcasson, Marsel-laisse, and the French Riviera.

However we soon tired of the French bourgeoisie and moved into Switzerland. Here we encountered such gems as Mont Blanc, Lau-sanne, and the Rhonne glacier. We might have settled down here, but

Italy beckoned. Milan, Genoa, Pisa, Florence, and Venice fell under our inquisitive s t a r e s . The leaning lower and the gondolas were ours.

Yearning for a more conserva-tive a tmosphere , we journeyed in-to Aust r ia and Germany. In S tu t t -gart we met Fred Dankleff, a Hol-land High boy returned to sauer-kiaut and weiners. Then Paris, the laffel tower, and Notre Dame. The Khine valley and Cologne also met dereat at our hands.

Since t ime was running out and a.: a last resor t , we entered Hol-land. Arnhem and the Zuyder Zee were nice. But all of us liked the Amsterdam Dutch and the Rotter-dam Dutch the best.

Quick like a bunny, we slipped btick to France through Belgium and sailed for Canada. A boat down the St . Lawrence and a train brought us finally to the high point and end of our journey - Holland.

Nykerk Contest To Be Next Friday

Ushered in by two hard weeks of practice, the Nykerk cup donnybrook will be held a t the Holland High auditorium, Fr iday evening, October 24.

There has been a slight innovation in the rules. The f rosh and soph contes tants may only begin practice two weeks pi ior to the actual night of the contest. This will serve to equalize somewhat the advantages of longer practice periods.

TAYLOR'S OF HOLLAND

Colorful History Marks Homecoming Grid Game

By Norm T h o m p s o n

On a crisp, sunny Armistice day in 1925 Hope College played its first Homecoming football game before a spirited crowd at Riverview Park . Out of the celebration mark ing the termination of the first World War , seven years prior, had evolved what is now one of the most t radi t ional events in the college year .

I t was through the efforts of local alumni and s tudents that plans were formulated in the Spr ing of 1924 for this Homecoming innovation. Their idea was to d raw the school's scattered alumni back to their Alma Mater to renew old f r iendships with the lure of an eventful weekend including the Armistice Day parade and an af te rnoon football game.

Although Kalamazoo College defeated the Dutch eleven by a score of 34 to 0 tha t day, the weekend was considered a success by those who had been able to a t tend.

Thus the initial steps had been taken and the establish-ment of an annual Homecoming was soon to be considered.

When in 1927 t he foo tba l l t e am

LEAN ECS

In Black and White By Dave Haas , S p o r t s Ed i to r

Thousands cheered — the ent i re population of the city of

Athens — as the tradit ional torch bearer placed his flaming

s tandard high atop Mount Olympus. This sign commemo-

rated the opening of the first Olympic games which now

have become the symbol of internat ional spor t competition

People of the city state of Athens displayed boisterous en-

thusiasm as one of their representat ives would be crowned

the victor in one or many of the t rack and field events.

Tension dominated the scene when the climax of the compe-

tition, the Marathon, was announced. I t was not unusual

tha t these people or any people should show such respect

f o r this test of endurance, this race which requires the

physical for t i tude of arms, legs and lungs, this race which

usually found competitors nauseated, dizzy, fat igued, and

even paralyzed or unconscious at the finish line. These people

showed grave concern in the outcome of this t ruly marathon

of all races because they realized the athletic ability re-

quired, the practice, the conditioning, and the courage. For

the athletes, it was a privilege and an honor to compete and emerge victorious in a race which conferred glory and praise on the individual, gave high prest ige to the city state f rom which the victor came and commanded such enthusiasm f rom the spectators.

A clump of twenty or thirty spectators chattered among themselves as they were gathered about two stakes and six feet of ribbon in a sandy corner of the Hope College athletic field. This sign commemorated the opening of the 1952 Cross Country season. A few cheers mingled with the claps of dis-interested or disheartened martyrs of the cause welcomed each fatigued athlete, each representative of the unit known as Hope College, as they crossed the finish line. Was it un-usual that people should disregard this test of endurance, this American marathon, this race which requires years of con-ditioned health, weeks of sustained practice, hours of exer-cising arms, legs and lungs and twenty-one minutes to com-plete a four-mile course on briar and thicket strewn paths, sand and macadam? Was it unusual that the athletes who attempted to compete in this sport numbered but ten? Have courage and fortitude been devalued?

Obviously, the epitome of t rack endurance, now ignobly entitled Cross Country, has been relegated to a position of secondary grandeur , possibly with jus t reason. However, the only solution to such de-emphasis and neglect must neces-sarily be one of two alternatives. E i ther the sport should be abolished f rom the collegiate athletic field or be raised to a complimentary position. The elevating process would de-mand three individual contributions — part icipation, inter-est, and due praise and respect.
