Vespers to Conclude Homecoming Weekend

What promises to be the most beautiful vesper service ever at Hope College, will take place at the Hope College Homecoming ac-tivities this year, according to Jant ina Holleman, assistant pro-lessor of music theory and piano. Vespers will begin at 3 p.m. on October 27th in the Hope Memorial Chapel. The planning committee met this week to discuss final ar-rangements and to select the sacred music tha t will bring the 1957 Homecoming program to a close.

Part icipat ing in the program will be the Hope College Choir and Wo-men's Choir, both directed by Dr. Robert Cavanaugh, head of the de-par tment of music; a brass sextet and string ensemble, directed by Dr. Morrette Rider, associate pro-fessor of music theory and instru-ments; l a s s soloist, Harley Brown, a junior f rom Danforth, Illinois, organ soloist, Lynnalice Nelson, a sophomore f rom Muskegon, Mich., Roger J . Rietberg, instructor in music theory and organ, will be a t the organ. Dr. Bastian Kruithof, associate professor of Bible and philosophy will preside and conduct the services.

Yntema Article Accepted By Mademoiselle

Sheryl Yntema, senior f rom Quinton, N. J., has been notified by the college editor of the magazine, MADEMOISELLE, tha t her article, "Hope is Their Home," has been accepted and will appear in the December 1957 issue.

The article deals with the Hun-garian students tha t are being sponsored by the college. The idea for the article was suggested by DrTPaul l^-iedj associate professor of history, who met the college editor of Mademoiselle last sum-mer. In the course of their con-versation the Hungarian students were mentioned as a possibility fo r a story. Dr. Fried asked Miss Yntema to write the story and sub-mit it to the magazine. Miss Vir-ginia Voss, the college editor, accepted it immediately and sug-gested several changes.

Basically, the story shows how one college took on a unique re-sponsibility and how it was carried

out. It tells what the college did to make the Hungar ian students feel at home, how the students are taking to the college and the col-lege to them, what they are plan-ning fo r the fu ture , their extra-curricular activities, their s t ruggles with the English language, and many other interesting experiences.

In gather ing material fo r the story, Miss Yntema met with the students almost daily last year, and discussed with them their prob-lems, interests, aspirations and activities.

"Of course," says Miss Yntema, "i t was a pleasure to receive a substantial check in the mail f o r the story, but the greates t satis-faction came in being able to share the story of these s t rangers among us with others who did not have the t ime to meet them as individ-uals as I did in my daily contacts with them."

Conforming to the general theme of Homecoming, "Words of Wis-dom". the vesper services will use the theme, "Fai th , Hope and Love." Many appropriate musical selec-tions have been chosen for pre-sentation to emphasize this beauti-ful Biblical text.

The following are members of the Planning Committee: Jant ina Holleman, Mrs. Norma Baughman, Dr. Robert Cavanaugh, Dr. Mor-ret te Rider, Lynn Van't Hof, Har-ley Brown, Anne De Pree, Charles Vanden Berg.

Y's Prepare

Slide Series The YWCA and YMCA of Hope

College have begun the preparat ion of a series of slides showing life on Hope's campus. This was an-nounced recently by Sheryl Ynte-ma and Mel Van Hattem, co-chair-men of the Deputation Committee.

The slides will be used by de-putation teams of both organiza-tions as they travel to churches in this area and conduct programs for various church organizations. The purpose of sending out deputa-tion teams is to establish good fellowship between the church and the church college. Work on the slides began a t the opening of the school year, and it is hoped tha t it will be completed by December. In the meantime, deputation teams are already available to church organizations which would like to make use of their services.

In order to have teams with re-sponsible leadership, they will be screened by a committee of pro-fessors in he fields of administra-tion, Bible and music.

To help meet the needs of church organizations requesting the de-putation teams, the committee has suggested tha t the following in-formation be submitted:

State whether a devotional serv-ice or informative lecture of life at a Christian college is wanted. Mention the length of the program, the time and place of the meeting, and the type, size and age level of the group. State if a foreign student or son or daughter of a missionary is preferred.

A number of requests f rom sev-eral church groups has already been received by the college.

Dr. Brown Author Of New Book

Dr. Donald F. Brown, Chairman of the Department of Spanish Language and Literature at Hope College, is the author of a new book entitled, "The Catholic Na-turalism of Pardo Bazan," pub-lished by the North Carolina Press.

The theme of Dr. Brown's book is Pardo Bazan's criticism of Emile Zola's naturalism which was mak-ing quite a stir in French l i terary circles in the 1880's. Zola and his followers wrote novels to show tha t man is completely determined in his everyday acts by heredity and environment. Obviously it was an atheistic philosophy and science and progress were its only ideals. Imagine Zola's surprise to learn tha t his chief advocate and fol-lower in Spain was not only a loyal Catholic but a lady of gentle birth. But in her book on the French naturalistic novelists which she called. "The Palpi ta t ing Ques-tion", she seemed to criticise ad-versely as much as she praised Zolas' movement. Hence the Span-ish critics have never been agreed as to whether she ever was a genuine natural ist or not.

A graduate of Wheaton College, Dr. Brown took his doctor's degree from the University of Illinois where he majored in Spanish. He has also done graduate work in the Universities of Dyon, France; Jena, Germany; Sao Paulo, Brazil; and the National Library in Chile. Be-fore coming to Hope, Dr. Brown held positions at the University of Illinois, the U.S. Naval Academy. Oberlin College and Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Brown has also writ ten numerous articles fo r pro-fessional journals.

The girls in the present organiza-tion are Marlene Har tger ink, Dean-na Deas, Ruth Voss, Artel New-house, Jeanet te Abma, Nina Mih, Carol Ham, and Dorene Tornga Presiding officers f o r the years are Mary Hunter, president; Donna Paris , vice president; Mary Kay Diephuis, secretary; and Jo Ann Barton, t reasurer .

Students are urged to patronize A.D.D. The girls may be recog-nized by their grey blazers.

Editorial In exactly one week, the students, faculty, and alumni begin

celebrating Hope College's twenty-eighth Homecoming. Throughout the months of October and November similar festivities will be taking place on hundreds of campuses across the country. This is a good time to stop and think on why we have a Homecoming celebration and some of the aspects of it.

In November, 1927, an editorial appeared in the Hope College Anchor, entitled "Why Not a Homecoming." This editorial had been wri t ten by John Mulder, the editor-in-chief. Within the contents of the editorial he expressed some views which still appear whenever Homecoming is discussed. Until 1928 there were no Homecoming celebrations on Hope's campus. But prior to that , in 1925, what is described by Mulder as a "feeble a t t empt" a t a Homecoming was made. He describes this for us: "Return ing grads were not numerous. Plans were not extensive." But any student will readily agree t ha t Hope students showed more interest in the game on tha t November 11, than they have displayed before or a f t e r . Any Homecoming that will do nothing more than create student enthusiasm has already justified itself."

In the thir ty years that have passed since tha t time, the position held on college campuses by sports in general, and football in particu-lar, has changed radically. Is there still a need, in this Golden Age of football, fo r such an event? Is s tudent enthusiasm built up for , and expended on, this one game?

Mulder's a rgument continues: "However, it is certain that other than selfish ends will be served by such an athletic event. Hope graduates would immediately have a common convocation day. Former Hopites like to return to their alma mate r to see things as they are but nothing a t t rac ts like old fr iends to recall things as they were. Thus, this event appeals to us fo r selfish and ulterior reasons. The students of today can gain several advantages by enlisting the student of yesterday. Interest must precede progress. Other means besides the annual request for finances must be used to reveal our interest in them."

In these two paragraphs we have the crux of the whole mat ter . Why Homecoming? To give the alumni a chance to ga ther together again on the campus which holds so many memories fo r them. Also to give us an opportunity to show our interest in them, since interest must, indeed, precede progress.

But is our method of showing interest a healthy one? Has the whole process become so traditionalized and stereotyped tha t the orig-inal purpose and intent has been lost? The Saturday morning parade has even become so traditional tha t creativity has been almost com-pletely stifled. The account of recent parades bears a strong and somewhat shocking resemblence to tha t "feeble a t t empt" of '25.

Our efforts seem to be no longer aimed toward showing our interest in the alumni. But, rather, we have been swallowed up in the com-petition of float-building and house-decorating. This involves the sacrifice of many valuable hours of study. Does the re turning alumnus appreciate all the effort and sacrifice put into a Homecoming? We hope so. Does he really demand this kind of in teres t? Considering the basic aims of 1927 and our ultimate purpose fo r being on Hope Col-lege's campus, we hope not!

Inter-Varsity Retreat Held at Yankee Springs

An air of relaxing friendliness amid budding autumn colors greet-ed the two Hope representatives who gathered with other Michigan campus students a t the first of three Inter-Varsi ty Christian Fel-lowship Fall Retreats . Friday eve-ning, Oct. 4th thru Sunday noon, Oct. 6th, were hours filled with singing, recreation, inspirational messages, study groups, and good food a t Yankee Springs Recreation Area near Hastings, Mich.

The 75 or more Michigan stu-dents under Keith Hunt 's able leadership considered the theme, "Have you considered Chr i s t ?" Attention was focused on the appli-cation of Christian principles in campus situations and the Christian student 's individual responsibilities to Jesus Christ in a total world outlook.

Guest speaker was Horace "Di t" Fenton, Jr. , a graduate of Prince-ton Theological Seminary, who at present is Associate General Direc-tor for the inter-denominational Latin American Mission. Mr. Fen-ton's concise, illustrative ta lks in-stilled fresh, life-like reality to the call of all Christians.

Mr. Eugene Jekel, Chemistry professor, anticipates a s trong Hope College delegation a t the second conference of Inter-Varsi ty Oct. 18-20, on the theme. The Im-plications of the "Christ ian Family" — on campus, dating, courtship and marriage. Prof. Robert DeHaan, of the Psychology Department , will be the speaker.

Student Council Meeting of October 1, 1957

President Bob Lesniak called the S. C. meeting to order at 5:00 in Room 101, Van Raalte. Greg Bry-son opened with prayer . The roll was taken and the minutes were read and corrected to read, $235.55 was paid out" and "a lack of good reading material in certain areas on Hope's Campus". Officers' Reports:

President: Welcome to all new members and sponsors! Bob sug-gested tha t there be no more use of "I move to discuss" as it in-volves too much time. He reminded us to keep up to date on our re-ports. Folders will be provided fo r the reports. The agenda will be posted in the bulletin so tha t both sides of the problem to be dis-cussed can be presented.

Vice President: Anna stated that applications for the member at large are still being handed in to her. We will vote on this next meeting. She reminded those who have not signed up fo r their S. C. hour to do so as soon as possible. The Evaluation Orientation Com-mittee is D. Siedentop, A. McGold-rick, and the Freshman President and Vice-President.

The Women's Activities League has donated a check of two hundred fifteen dollars f rom the Penny Carnival it sponsored last spr ing; and the Knickerbocker f r a -terni ty has helped by raking and mowing the f ron t lawn and clean-ing up around the house.

Mr. Steven Van Grouw, new director of Pres ta te Huis, said tha t no definite plans have been made fo r the use of the g i f t check, but it will probably be used fo r purchas-ing additional playground equip-ment.

tee, they must see him before the money is spent. Committee Reports :

Student Direction: Mr. Jekel asked us to discuss the Mixer and its outcomes. He asked the Presi-dent and Vice-President of S. C. to be present a t their next meeting.

Chapel: The Choir will be giving more special music in robes. The " Y " deputations will meet with the Bible committee first. There will be more weekly speakers.

Cultural: The new field in the cultural programs will be the Science field. The committee is t ry-ing to obtain fewer but better known speakers.

Publications: The new Anchor Staff has been approved. The An-chor will be coming out each week. More interest must be created in these publications.

MACSG: Dick Brown reported tha t each council must pay $10 dues. A newsletter will be coming out shortly. Ferris is interested in joining but letters f rom Calvin and Aquinas have not been received as yet. S. C. minutes of each council will be exchanged. I t is suggested tha t it is not necessary to have a corresponding secretary fo r this organization.

Social: The committee is work-ing on socials for Homecoming and October 11. Old Business:

Pull: Bob Tulenko gave several reasons why some thought tha t the Pull should not be a t Homecoming as was passed last week. A f t e r discussion, it was decided to keep the Pull with the Homecoming events because the Alumni have received an i t inerary of Homecom-ing events. It was strongly sug-gested to have the Pull very early in the Fall in following years. New Business:

Homecoming: Joyce Leighley ask-ed if we could place a limitation on the f loat costs. It was the unanimous decision of the sorori-ties to place limitations. Rowland Van Es moved tha t we reconsider this proposal. It was seconded and carried. Carol moved tha t limita-tions be placed exclusively on sorority floats. The motion was seconded and carried. Dick B. moved tha t Pan Hell be authorized to set the limitation. The motion was seconded but defeated. It was then moved that S. C., in accord-ance with the sororities' sugges-tions, set a limit of $20 fo r the sorority floats. The motion was seconded and carried.

Food Service: I t was agreed upon tha t the food is much better , as is the service. But there were complaints tha t the food is being wasted because the students were not given seconds. Saga Service was suggested as being a good cater ing service. We decided to send a committee to observe this service. Dean Hinga stated tha t this service does cost more and its advantages are not as s trong as might seem so a t first. The discussion was tabled until a later date.

Respectfully submitted, Carol Hondorp

Sororities Hold Traditional Literary Meetings Alpha-phi has progressed a few

steps fu r the r in its organization program. The constitution drawn-up by Betty Fell, a pledge written by Mary Ann Klaaren, and a prayer by Marilyn Scudder and Jane Tomlinson have been ac-cepted. Lavaliers have been or-dered and sketches of the pin have arrived from the jewelry company. Preliminary d ra f t s of the creed and song are now under considera-tion. The sorority room is being redecorated in colors of green, gold and grey under the direction of Virginia Top and Nancy Long. Carol Rylance and Lorraine Hel-linga are in charge of money mak-ing projects, the first of which is a pop machine installed in Voorhees Hall. Arrangements fo r the formal induction ceremony scheduled for Nov. 8, are being made by Carol Ham and the four officers.

Chilean epinadas w e r e served a t the conclusion of the program, and each sorority mem-ber was given a leather book mark decorated with the national f lower of Chile. The October 11 meeting centered around the theme of "Autumn Leaves". Jane Tomlinson gave a humorous reading of "Uncle Remus' Brer Rabbit;" Carol Sik-kenga presented a serious paper entitled "The Last Leaf" and Vir-ginia Top presented devotions.

On October 11th, the girls of A. S. A.—1 learned about "Charm" from their guest speaker, Mrs. Glerum, of Holland, and have been eagerly applying her advice. Date night plans for tonight include a bonfire a t Ottawa Beach, followed by a scavenger hunt. Both sections of A. S. A. will join in this event and will return to the gym for refreshments .

The first meeting of A. S. A.—2 was held in Voorhees Hall lounge with President Barbara Geitner presiding. Joan Clayton enter-tained the group and Judy Bartle-son, chaplain, led devotions.

As one of the main social events

fo r this fall, Delphi is planning a date night for November 8th. Myrna Schalekamp and Shelby Braaksma are co-chairmen for this event. Gretchen Ver Meulen has been appointed to take charge of buying a g i f t for the sorority from the pledge class. Joy Korver is seeing tha t Delphi pins and lava-liers will be ordered fo r the new pledges. Official Delphi reporter is Audrey Veld and official photo-grapher is Marilyn Kortenhoven.

The lure of Europe was the highlight of the October 11th meet-ing of the Sibylline Sorority. Sallie Smith, Carol Houghtaling, and Ruth Wright told of some of their experiences as s tudents in Europe this past summer and showed slides. Devotions were led by Carol Nelson.

The Sorosis pledges were in charge of the l i terary meeting held October 11th with plans under the direction of Judy Tysse. Ruth Veldman presented a humor paper and Linda Gordon read a serious paper expressing the happiness of the pledges who were invited to join Sigma Sigma. In addition to all of the sorority songs, the girls sang "The Yellow Rose of Sorosis," an original number by Ruth Veld-man.

Death of A Prejudice By James Clark

When the first expedition from Ear th landed on Mars in the year 2087, the Mart ians were at the peak of their greates t civilization. They had long known of the exis-tence of living creatures on Earth, since they had telescopes of power beyond the dreams of Ea r th as-tronomers. But the actual physical appearance of the Ea r th dwellers had been beyond the power of even these instruments to determine, and so came as a surprise — in-deed, as a shock, to the Martians. The predominant skin color was a sort of bleached pink, which was extremely revolting to the delicate senses of the green-skinned Mar-tians. But even more shocking a deformity was the Ear th people's complete lack of the normal third arm growing out of the center of the chest, and it was this deficiency tha t prompted both the pity and the disgust of the superior race. The first expedition was, of course, completely wiped out, and several Martian expeditions followed, con-sisting of raiding part ies to secure slaves f rom Earth . This custom was discontinued only a f t e r several Martian decades, a t which time the slaves were emancipated. To this day, however. Ea r th people live in segregated sections of the great Martian cities, and are considered "second-rate citizens," while Ear th itself has become merely a political satellite of Mars.

The effect of this Mart ian dom-ination was disastrous to Ear th as a whole, but, s t rangely enough, it was also highly beneficial to cer-tain segments of Ear th ' s popula-tion which had hitherto been re-garded by their fellow men as inferior groups. In order to under-stand this situation, it mus t be ex-plained f o r those readers who are unfamil iar with the planet Ear th that , while it is inhabited by one dominant species, there are a num-ber of minor physical variations within the species, and these dif-ferences were regarded as being very important indications of su-periority or inferiori ty by the Ea r th people themselves. To a Martian i t naturally made little difference whether a human was black, pink, , orange, o r yellow, since all were equally disgusting, and since the m a t t e r of color was

overshadowed in any case by the f reakish number of arms possessed by homo sapiens. (An interesting sidelight to the mat te r of skin pigmentation in Ear th people is tha t while a major i ty of the mem-bers of the first expedition to Mars were, as noted, a particularly nauseat ing shade of pink, they in-sisted on re fer r ing to themselves as "white men", and obviously re-garded themselves as superior to their compatriots of other colors.) This "whi te" race had adopted this same at t i tude fo r centuries on Ea r th itself, and on those land masses which it controlled, it had systematically persecuted races of other colors. This persecution had extended even to people of the "white" race whose eyes or noses were of slightly different shapes f rom those of their persecutors.

This discriminatory atti tude, how-ever, underwent a rapid and dras-tic change shortly a f t e r the Mar-tian conquest of 2095. It seems tha t not only did the Martians find the Ea r th people revolting, but the Ear th people fel t exactly the same way about the Martians. When several million Mart ians had been distributed over the con-quered planet in the normal pro-cess of administering captured ter-ritory, the Ea r th dwellers got their first chance to observe some real physical differences, differences which shrank their own quibbles over skin color into insignificance. Somehow, it became much easier for a white human to feel f ra te rna l toward a black human when the la t ter stood beside a nine-foot tall, green, three-armed Martian. It soon became a case of human against alien, instead of human against human.

This change of perspective was consolidated and confirmed by the election, in 3017, of a black human to the political leadership of a minor principality called United States, formerly a stronghold of the doctrine of what was termed "white supremacy."

Within recent years, a movement has developed on Ea r th called "Ea r th fo r Ear thmen" , consisting of representat ives f rom all the racial variations who are agi ta t ing fo r the re turn of the Mart ians to Mars. The movement is headed by a dynamic and brilliant individual

many of the nation's eight million college graduates suffer f rom "in-tellectual malnutr i t ion" and "cul-tural anemia" once they leave the campus of their alma mater . Rev. John J. Cavanaugh, C.S.C., former president of the University of Notre Dame, declared here.

T h e colleges themselves a r e largely to blame, he said because they have treat-ed their alumni "only as extra-curricular enti-

proved to be a loyal source of financial support, but their schools generally "have failed to help them advance intellectually."

He called for a "literal revolu-tion" in alumni organization. He urged colleges and universities to devise programs tha t would give their graduates "something sub-stantial ," something intellectual. "Alumni associations have for too long been like g rea t s torage bins for our surplus national brains. Only now do we realize tha t the concept of such a surplus was a fallacy, tha t our country is actual-ly threatened with leadership star-vation in the midst of plenty," he concluded.

Frat Rushing Because of the recent outbreak

of sickness on campus, on Wed-nesday, October 9, the In te r f ra -ternity Council postponed all rush-ing, l i terary and f ra te rn i ty busi-ness meetings for the weekend of October 11-13. As this paper goes to press we understand tha t rush-ing and f ra te rn i ty meetings will resume this weekend. Because of the postponement of their plans, many f ra terni t ies have rearranged their rushing schedules. All rushees are encouraged to consult the daily bulletin for definite information as to the time and place of f ra te rn i ty rushing meetings.

ARCADIAN: The Arcadian Fraterni ty sched-

ule is headed with a splash party to be held this weekend, October 19, in the Y.M.C.A. of Grand Rapids. All rushees are invited to come along. The par ty will be s tag or drag. Af t e r the swim, refresh-ments will be served at the Arkie house.

During the homecoming week, two open houses are planned, one on Wednesday, October 23; and the other, Saturday, October 26. Among the programs planned for the fu-ture are : a joint meeting with the A.S.A., the Arcadian Square Dance, and several special l i terary meet-ings.

COSMOPOLITAN: The Cosmos have announced

their plans for Homecoming float and house decorations. Adapting the overall theme of famous say-ings, the Cosmo f loat will reflect Shakespeare 's famous quotation, "Uneasy lies the head tha t wears a crown", while house decorations will get their design f rom the quote "Our country is the world, and our countrymen are all man-kind" f rom the pen of William Lloyd Garrison. J e r ry Brouwer is in charge of the f loat and house decorations chairman is Larry Arends.

This Saturday the Cosmos have planned an old-fashioned hayride and square dance. Ray De Does and Warren Plaggemars are chair-men. On November 1, the tradi-tional smoker will be held, a t which time, a football movie will be shown and narrated by Paul Wie-gerink. Bill Zomer is chairman of the event.

At Friday night 's Cosmo lit meeting, Jim Evers will give the serious paper. Wednesday night coffee breaks will continue through-out the entire Rushing period.

EMERSONIAN:

With the onset of the flu epi-demic the men of Phi Tau Nu were forced to postpone their l i terary meeting, "Europe '57 in Pictures and Words", an account of the summer school in Europe. This l i terary meeting will probably be presented later in the rushing pro-gram.

The Emmies have instituted a new concept into their rushing program—jam Sessions, 8:30, each Wednesday evening. This coming Wednesday evening, October 23, they will again present "Modern Music" followed by refreshments of coffee and doughnuts.

Tomorrow night the Emersonian Fra te rn i ty is holding its annual fall hayride. All rushees are asked to meet a t the house a t 7:30. Af t e r the hayride, re f reshments will be served a t the house and special piano music will be provided.

During the homecoming week, the men of Phi Tau Nu have plan-ned another jam session and coffee break fo r Wednesday, October 23. A special l i terary meeting will be held Fr iday evening, October 25, a t which Edgar Boeve, a profes-

sional ar t i s t f rom Grand Rapids, will present a lecture. Saturday, October 26, the Emersonians will hold an open house f rom 7 to 12, foi alumni and all interested rushees.

The hayride, jam sessions, and special a r t lecture are designed with the rushees in mind. All are encouraged to attend.

KNICKERBOCKER: The Knickerbocker society this

evening will hold a l i terary meet-ing and coffee break fo r all rush-ees. Bill Waggoner will deliver the serious paper. Ken Brown the humor paper. Bob Lesniak the de-votions and Bob Tulenko the music paper.

Tomorrow night, October 19, the Knickerbockers will hold their s tag smoker for the rushees, at which movies will be shown.

John Tysse presented the humor paper, and Jim Hanenberg presented t h e special music. Curt Menning was the. master critic.

A Short Study of Freshmanius Greenium

By Richard Jaa r sma

Of the students who comprise our moss-bedowered institution the plight of the f reshman is pitiful to behold. One can spot him any-where desperately a t tempt ing to assimilate all of the many psy-chological ad jus tments necessary fo r a well-rounded college per-sonality.

The first few days leave him a screaming bundle of nerves. Reg-istrat ion he remembers as a horri-ble dream about the af terworld — a world where bureaucracy is the ruling religion. Of the part ies and various examinations he remembers little, but they leave a permanent blotch on the feeble organ which he calls "brain."

He soon, however, begins to emerge f rom the embryological s ta te of warmth and security, and realizes, with a cold panic, tha t he is now alone in a world of pine-trees, abstract profesors, and sen-iors. He buys a college jacket in order to camouflage himself f rom what he really is — a despicable, ignorant f reshman. But the very newness of the jacket defeats his purpose and makes him all the more discernable to the voracious upper-classman.

He wishes he could do without his f lamboyant schedule card; but if he neglects to use it, he will become hopelessly lost. One can see him at times, crying soft ly and mut ter ing "Van Raalte No. 103" while he shuffles uncertainly in the direction of Carnegie Gymnasium.

The process of evolution, how-ever, is inexorable; and f rom the chaotic landscape of surrealism in which he now finds himself, he will someday emerge, purified and bene-volent, to change into the beautiful form of a senior—well-bred, suave, sophisticated, and worldweary. An idyllic scene now, but someday a concrete reality.

Dutchmen Blank Kazoo 14-0

A near-capacity crowd at River-view Park last Saturday witnessed a bruising grid tussle, in which Hope's inspired eleven fought to a 14-0 victory over MIAA foe Kala-mazoo. The victory evened up the Dutch league record a t one win and one loss.

Both teams battled away without a score until the final minute of play in the first half. Then Mert Vanderlind, H o p e ' s quarterback throughout the game, kept the ball and scampered around right end for a touchdown from 20 yards out. Bill Huigbregtse followed with a successful point a f t e r to make the score 7-0 at the intermission.

Midway in the third quarter , an interception set up another score. Af t e r Hope had moved the pigsk'.n f rom the Hornets ' fifteen to the five, Duane Voskuil slammed over into pay dirt. Huigbregtse again converted to make the score 14-0, where it remained fo r the remain-der of the game.

Mert Vanderlind led all Hope players in yards gained, while Voskuil, Weatherbee, Bekuis, and Hendrickson also picked up good ground.

Hope travels to Adrian for an-other league contest on Saturday. Last week, Adrian's Bulldogs lost to Alma, 25-0.
