Governing the Daily Bulletin 1. All notices must be in the Dean's Office by 3:00 p.m. 2. Notices shall be brief and clear. This is an official bulletin issued from the Administrative Of- fice; it should not contain jingles' or humorous pleas. These should be put on posters or notices on the big bulletin board. 3. No items shall be written on the bulletin after it is printed, or attached to the bulletin boards. Failure to observe this request will result in forfeiting of the right of the group to have announcements appear in the bulletin. 4. Items must be announce- ments concerning the activity of some regularly sponsored college group or organization, or of an administrative officer of the col- lege. Fireside Meeting Scheduled By Y's A Fireside Party will highlight the joint YM and YW meeting on October 25 at 7:15 p.m. At that time the group will be transported to different professors' homes, where informal discussions will be held on the topic "How College Has Affected My Spiritual Life."

After a short opening worship service in the chapel, the group will be di- vided into units of eight to twelve students and taken to the homes of the professors. Reverend James Baar, pastor of the Maplewood Reformed Church, will speak to YMCA on Novem- ber 1. Last week the YWCA held its annual recognition meeting for new members. Evelyn Van Dam con- ducted the service and Dorothy Contant led the program. Attention Alumni The Koffee Kletz in the base- ment of Van Raalte hall will be open tomorrow morning for all visiting alumni. After you've wandered over the good old campus, stop in and see the "gang" again, and chat over old times over a cup of delicious, heart-warming coffee — the spe- cialty of Hope^s Koffee Kletz. o All alumni are invited to at- tend the Annual Alumni Dinner that will be held at 6 P. M., Saturday, October 22, in the Hope Church Parlors. Mrs. Marian Stryker, Asso- ciate Director of Alumni Rela- tions, is in charge of the meal, which will be a buffet supper. Tentative Choice Of Play Is Made The Apprentice Play, now sched- uled for January, has been tenta- tively selected as the "Emperor's New Clothes," the first children's theater production attempted by Palette and Masque. Mr. Edward Avison, advisor of P&M, announced that casting for Charlotte Chor- penning's adaptation of the Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale will begin in two weeks. It is planned to do this production with students who are new on the campus this year. A mystery play will probably be the March production of Palette and Masque. Floats to Be Shown Tomorrow Morning On Saturday morning, October 22, at 10:30 a.m., the Homecoming float parade will take place. All the fraternities and sororities will enter floats in the contest, and this year all the classes will also have floats in the parade. The parade will start on Colum- bia Avenue and Tenth Street and proceed down Eighth Street and up River Avenue to Twelfth Street. The President of Hillsdale's stu- dent council and three other stu- dents from the college will judge the floats as they pass the Warm Friend hotel, and the results will be announced at the football game in the afternoon. During the rest of the day, the floats will be on the Hope College Athletic Field for all the alumni and students to see. Lamont Dirkse is chairman of the committee planning the float parade. The cast for "The Show-OffP&M Homecoming play, is (above, bot- tom row, left to right) Amy Silcox, Martin Mepyans, Barbara Woods, Bernard Yurash; (top rote) Fred King, David Karsten, Hendrik Parson, Phyllis Leach, Roger Gunn. "The Show-Off" is Staged By P & M for Homecoming The Homecoming play, "The Show-Off", a three-act comedy by George Kelly, opened last night in the Hope College Little Theater at 8:30 p.m. under the direction of Mr. Edward Avison. It will run tonight and Saturday evenings, also. The leading characters are Bar- bara Woods as Mrs, Fisher, Amy Silcox as Amy Fisher, and Marvin Mepyans as Aubrey Piper, the show-off. Phyllis Leach as Clara, Fred King as Frank Hyland, David Karsten as Jo Fisher, Bernard Yurash as Mr. Fisher, Hendrick Parson as Mr. Gill, and Roger Gunn as Mr. Rogers complete the cast. Heywood Broun, noted drama critic, says, "I might as well begin boldly and say that 'The Show- Off' is the best comedy which has yet (1924) been written by an American Critics who hold by old standards may point out that it is less lavish with in- cident than many another native play in the same mood, but they can hardly argue that human per- sonality has ever been made more vivid, more truthful and more com- plete in the American theater." The crews for the production are as follows: Stage —Jim Bennett, manager; Bob Stopples, foreman; Pat Moran, Doug Gunther, Helena Gill, John Jaeckel; Properties Richard Leonard, chairman; Phyllis Leach, Ken Smouse, Betty Ann Dowd; Costumes Jean Woodruff, wardrobe mistress; Ken Brinza, Louise Van Bronkhorst, Amy Sil- cox; Lights —Alfred Arwe, tech- nician; Bill Vander Werff, foreman; Verne Elliott; Make-up Marvin Mepyans, director; Ken Brinza, Betty Ann Koch, Bill Vander Werff; Sound Effects John Jaeckel; Business Martin Mepyans, man- ager; Jim Patterson, Ann Cousins, Betty Ann Koch, Mary Houtman, Esther Everse, Bill Neathammer. Perhaps some will remember Red Skelton in the Hollywood produc- tion of "The Show-Off", a few years ago. In the original cast as Jo Fisher, was the well-known Broadway actor, Lee Tracy. The cast has put in four or more hours a day, six days a week in rehearsal for this play, which had to be done in two weeks less than the usual time for a full- length production. The crews have been working steadily to prepare the theater and stage so that Homecoming audiences can see what Palette and Masque has been doing in the past year. Hope Homecoming Queen Will Be Crowned Tonight Here are the contenders for the title of Homecoming Queen. The winner of the contest will be announced at the Pep Rally tonight. Seated behind the piano are (from left to right) Dolores Freyling and Mar- gurite Aardema. Those standing are (from left fo right) Dorothy (.on- tant, Connie Boersma, ISella Pyle, Joyce Post, Doris Haringsma, and Yvonne De Loof. Science Editor Will Speak At Assembly November 1 On Tuesday morning, November 1, at 11:10 a.m., the Hope College students will assemble at the Chapel for the privilege of hearing Mr. Robert D. Potter, distinguished scientist and science editor, give his lecture on "Man Against Di- sease". Mr. Potter is a rare combination of scientist and writer, who has won many awards and citations for his interpretation of science for the layman. A graduate of the University of Buffalo, with a B.S. degree in Physics, Mr. Potter was awarded a graduate fellowship at Duke university, where he received his M.A. degree in Physics in 1928. He then went to New York as in- structor in Physics and continued his graduate research working for his Ph.D. In 1932 he began his work in journalism as Science Editor of the New York Herald Tribune. In 1934 Mr. Potter joined the staff of Science Service in Washington as staff writer in phy- sics and chemistry, later becoming News Editor of this famous news- paper syndicate, which was founded and is still controlled by eminent scientists of the National Academy of Science, the National Research Council, and the American Associa- tion for the Advancement of Science. In 1934, with William L. Laur- ence and David Dietz, Mr. Potter founded the National Association of Science Writers, wrote its first constitution, and has twice served as President of this ranking na- tional society. As war developed from 1941 on- ward, Mr. Potter was recalled to New York university to take over some teaching assignments and served as chairman of the Depart- ment of General Science for the academic year of 1944-1945. Dur- ing the war, and a while before, Mr. Potter worked as a research associate to the scientists who were splitting the uranium atoms and releasing their nuclear energy with the giant atom smasher of Carnegie Institution's Dept. of Terrestial Magnetism in Washing- ton, D; C. — work which layed the foundation for the wartime Man- hattan Project and the atomic bomb. During the summer of 1946, he served as correspondent in the South Pacific for Joint Task Force One, which conducted Operation Crossroads — the atom bomb tests at Bikini. On March 27, 1946, Mr. Potter was the recipient of the first George Westinghouse Medal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science for distinguished service in science and medical reporting. Currently he is a member of the managing com- mittee of this $1,000 medal award. Mr. Potter will give his lecture, "Man Against Disease," which promises to hold some topic of in- terest for all the students interested in world affairs. New Student Guide To Be Distributed The Student Guide, which is published annually by the Blue Key honor fraternity, will be ready for distribution by the 21st or the 24th of this month. The booklet will con- tain the addresses and phone num- bers of all Hope students and fac- ulty members and such other use- ful information as the office hours of faculty members. This year's Student Guide has been prepared under the direction of Paul Cook. This evening at 7:0(1 p.m., the Student Council will sponsor a pep rally to be held on the football practice field on Hope's campus. The climax of the pep rally will be the coronation of the girl who will reign over the Homecoming ac- tivities as Homecoming Queen. She will be chosen from the eight girls nominated for the honor from the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes. Five faculty and five impartial student judges will make the choice. The queen will be crowned by Abe Moerland on a beautifully decorated throne. After her coro- nation, she will take part in an impressive ceremony in which she will light a torch which will light up the huge letters H O P E. Nominations from the classes are as follows: Freshman, Nella Pyle from Zeeland and Connie Boersma from Holland; Sophomore, Yvonne De Loof from Holland and Doris Haringsma from Holland; Junior, Dolores Freyling from Grand Rap- ids and Joyce Post from Holland; Senior, Dorothy Contant from Has- brouch Hts., N. J. and Margurite Aardema from Central Lake, Mich. Other features on the program tonight is the word of welcome by Master of Ceremonies Corky Otte and a few words about the foot- ball teams and our high hopes by Coach Vanderbush. Ken Leestma will lead the group in pep songs, and the cheerleaders will take their turn in drilling the students in really participating in the yells. The pep rally will provide a great deal of spirit which is certain to prevail during the following day of Homecoming. Bob Hill is the chairman of the pep rally. Lorraine Drake is in charge of the arrangements for the coronation of the Queen. Details of the election of the queen were in charge of Don Fairchild. Freshman-Sophomore Pull Will Begin At 4 p.m. Today This afternoon at 4:00 p.m., the Freshman and Sophomore classes in accordance with tradition will again test their strength in the rigorous pull across Black River. The pull will be held in the same place as last year with the Sopho- mores pulling on the north of the river and the Frosh on the south. The Sopmomores, since they were hauled through the icy waters of Black River last year, will have revenge in their hearts as they dig their holes and settle down for a long pull. The Frosh are out to prove that they have the better class. If the Frosh lose the pull, they must pot to all Sophomores as well as to upperclassmen. Gerry Mull is "in charge of the boats which will officiate the event. The Frosh have George Reineke as their head coach with Roger Stevenson and Alan Sauder assist- ing. Jack Ryskamp will help the Sophs with Harv Moes and Sam Pickens as his aids. Eighteen men will be pulling on each side with, of course, eighteen morale girls to tend to their care. Students are reminded to stay behind the ropes and not interfere with the pull. Juniors are required to cheer for the Frosh; the Sophs will have the support of the Seniors.

E d i t o r i a l s

Welcome On Saturday, Hope's campus will be the

scene of the Collcga Homecoming for 1949. Intermingled with the regular members of the college classes of 1950, '51, '52, and '53, there will be class members of years gone by. These former Hopeites will be return-ing to spend the day at college functions on and off campus. To all you returning alumni, we wish to extend a hearty WELCOME BACK!!

Perhaps some of you will find old class-mates and have a grand time remembering and reminiscing about old times when Hope College was your main interest in life. We hope for a few hours you may recapture that interest and enjoy doing so.

Many of you graduates who have been absent for some years will find today's campus a fa r cry f rom the Hope College as it was during your college days. Perhaps some of you will look about and say wonder-ingly, "This isn't the Hope College I knew." And maybe it isn't, at least as fa r as mate-rial things are concerned, but underneath

the new campus face, there still remains the same spirit. And that 's the important thing — the thing which we here today hope to preserve and carry with us when we leave.

This spirit will evidence itseif when, this year, as in other years, Hope spreads out the welcome mat for Alumni. The campus has prepared a full schedule of activities to provide an interesting and eventful home-coming. ^

So, once again. Welcome Home to Your Alma Mater, and may you have a wonderful time reliving a few hours of campus life at Hope!!

Where's The Spirit? All of us have noticed the serious lack of

spirit displayed at the recent football games. Everyone seems to complain about it, but does everyone try to do something about it? Remember the pep rally we had in f ront of the gym preceding our first game of the sea-son ? The student council and the cheer lead-ers tried very hard to get out a large group of students, but the few that did get there showed very little pep. At the games it is the same way. Certainly the least we can do for our team, which is fighting its way toward a goal, is to really let them know we're solidly behind them.

Doesn't it make you a little embarrassed, esecially if you're an upperclassman, when you still don't know the cheers, particularly the final yell of one of the favorite cheers? It certainly wouldn't take much time to make sure you know the cheers perfectly, and then to yell them. A thousand students could really let the other team know that Hope is right behind its own team. A little enthusiastic yelling not only helps the team, but the cheer-leaders too. How do you think they feel when they s tar t to lead a cheer and get no re-sponse? Rather embarrassing.

Tomorrow is really a big day in the sea-son. Our fellows will really need your spirit as well as theirs to trounce Hillsdale. Let's show the alumni that we have as much and more spirit than they ever evidenced them-selves. Remember, Hope can't have pep un-less each one of us takes his part in every cheer, whether we're winning or losing.

N. H. V.

Constitution The Student Council Constitution has been

unanimously ratified. The Hope College Stu-dent Council now has the constitutional foundation necessary for good and represen-tative student government. The success of the Council is now dependent upon the man-ner in which students and faculty use the new legal machinery that has been estab-lished. If the Council is to fulfill its pur-pose "to foster the growth of a healthy Christian college spirit, to facilitate united action and to encourage and enforce honor-able conduct and tradition," it must be en-thusiastically supported with individual vi-sion, initiative, and work. Let's each make our contribution to the Council's efficient operation.

Frosh Give Views Of Hope Campus

Pot Frosh! POT FROSH! My,

how those Freshmen seem to love

to Pot! The other day I was stroll-

ing around the campus looking for

fun (alias Freshmen) and I saw

so many friendly faces that I

thought I'd stop a few (not faces,

I mean Freshmen) and interview

them on their Green Outlook of the Campus.

Phylis Heidanus, Kalamazoo co-ed, remarked, "I love Hope — never a dull moment; not a minute to get lonely; not a minute to sleep. The only thing I don't like is the fact that the pots shrink in the rain and make blisters on our ears." For next year she suggests that all frosh have pots like the fellows.

Marjorie Pickens from China thinks this is a pretty friendly place. "So far I haven't found any-thing wrong with it. I like the extra-curricular activities."

Don Miller, Muskegon, when asked what he thought about the campus coeds replied, "They're all right." (Are you going to let him get away with that, girls ?)

Ruth Ver Meulen, Grand Rapids coed, likes Hope, too. "But I hate my pot. College is a lot harder than high school but lots more fun. There doesn't seem to be a very

close tie between classmates, though."

Kathy DeVette f rom Muskegon thinks the fellows are awfully "cute." „ •

Kathy Kempers, hailing from Mexico, thinks this idea of pots is swell. "It's fun to see what you can get away with."

Carl Schroeder, an Easterner from Paterson, New Jersey, thinks Hope is wonderful. "And so are the girls!" (Do I hear a wolf call?) He adds, "There's one tiling, though, the cross country team isn't publicized enough." .

Connie Boersma from Castle Park says, "I just love Hope." (I imagine Bill Hinga has something to do with that!)

Vivian Voorhorst, Holland coed, has this to say about her new Fall hat, "These green things are purty potty."

Dick Vonder Heidt from River Forest, Illinois, says, "Hope's okay. The girls are different, though. They really seem to be genuine." (It's nice to know the girls aren't imitations. All kidding aside, the girls have a reputation to live up to now, huh?)

Helen Studdiford, S o m e r v i l l e , New Jersey, gal, thinks the pots aren't really so-o bad and are even a nice tradition. "The students are all so friendly. I think it's wonder-ful."

Hope Y Representatives Attend Fall Conference

Thirteen men and five women from Hope college attended the YWCA and YMCA Michigan Fall District Conference on October 7, 8, and 9 at Camp Tyrone, near Flint, Michigan. Burt Phillips, one of the Hope representatives and President of Y in the district covering Michigan, was co-chair-man of the conference.

Three cars left Hope's campus at 4:00 p.m. Friday afternoon and arrived at the camp in the eve-ning. The conference was officially opened with a welcome by camp advisors and group leaders, after which the procedures for the fol-lowing days were discussed.

Group discussions, lectures, films, and recreation were all a part of the program. Dr. Partington, Hope Professor of Education lead one of the discussions.

Hope college had the largest delegation of the schools repre-sented at the conference.

Hope students who attended were Mary Breid, Marie Halden-waay. Sue Roest, Jean Brondyke, Lorraine Drake, Don Cleason, Burt Phillips, Laverne Sikkema, Harold Dean, Wayne Tripp, Jack Hascup, Dave Muyskens, Dan Hakken, John Nyitray, Burrell Pennings, and Peter Kraak. Mr. Partington was faculty auperviior

Extract From Sarospatak Editor's Note. Dr. M. Eugene

Osterhaven recently received a let-ter from Sarospatak, Hungary, con-taining an extract of proceedings of a meeting of the Governing Council of Sarospatak Academy, held on July 7, ,1949. This extract, approved by Dr. Barnabas Nagy, Hungary's number one theologian, clearly portrays the unique Chris-tian relationship that now exists between Hope college and Sarospa-tak. It is reprinted below.

Extract

Dr. Barnabas Nagy, Rector of the Academy, reads a report of the charity g i f t s which were received during the last school year from the academy's sister college, Hope college, Holland, Mich., U.S.A.

It is called to remembrance how — af te r the terrible destructions and devastations of the Second World War — the love of our Chris-tian brethren from beyond the ocean was turned towards us and, in the course of years, how many generous indications of their love and friendship to us have been ex-pressed and in what touching ways. Besides the spiritual links, lasting threads of true Christian brother-hood have been woven between the professors and students of the two colleges. In their prayers for each other, in their work and services of the same character and in their faithfulness to the cause of the Re-formed Christian Church education — they have indeed become sister colleges. The governors, professors, and students of Hope college, Hol-land, by the now innumerable demonstrations of their love and charity to us, have g r e a t l y s t r e n g t h e n e d our 418-year-old Academy in her endeavour also to be and remain a college of hope in Christ. Their brotherly love and unselfishness to us have given us an entirely new experience of the reality of Christian brotherhood, teaching us the real meaning of the true Christian life, increasing our love to, and responsibility for, others, filling our hearts with joy-fulness and making us more and more grateful to our Father. In this torn and shattered world of mankind, they have, indeed, given us a new manifestation of how great and powerful the Christian solidarity is and how much greater and more powerful it might be.

The Rector of the Academy enumerates, with feelings of deep gratitude, all those gif ts , more generous and bountiful than all previous ones, which were received during the last school year from our brethren in faith at Hope col-lege, Holland. First 22, then later on 39 huge boxes came, all loaded with clothes and shoes and the whole shipment was distributed among the students, professors, teachers, clerks, employees, and pensionaries of the academy, all according to their needs. These gifts , representing an immense value, have meant an all-essential help to us. It is almost incon-ceivable what privations the people of the Academy would have suf-fered and would still suffer with-out these g i f t s ! The distribution of the g i f t s took place, on every occasion, in accordance with the in-tentions of the magnanimous don-ors and a fa i r portion of the articles received has been set aside as reserve supply fo r the next school year, to be distributed again among the students. Of the distri-bution of the articles a precise list was made, and a copy of the same was sent to Hope college, too.

The Rector of the Academy felt it his duty to be present at each time when one of the various groups came together for taking their share of the gifts. On each of these occasions a devotional service was held by him for the group members, praising God and giving thanks to Him for His love and providence and for the timely aid of our brethren in faith inspired by His Holy Spirit.

While these gifts have, in a very considerable measure, contributed to the lessening of the want in clothing articles of the whole population of the academy, those medicine parcels, likewise of large quantity and great value, which were received also during the last school year, have alleviated the distress of those members of our large family who have been suffer-ing from lung complaints and, in fact, the lives of many of them have been saved by these gifts. It is well known how costly and ex-pensive the medicine in question is in America, too. Realizing this, all the greater our gratitude and that of the distressed are for the com-passion and Samaritan deed shown by our brethren in faith from over-seas.

The list of the generous g i f t s received f rom our brethren in fa i th in America is still f a r f rom being complete. Besides the spiritual ana material help given to us, they have done their best to provide us with nourishment for the mind as well. Here, first of all, those theological books are to be mentioned which have been arriving in a long line of small parcels and the total number of which comes to several hundred by now. They include many of the standard books by the best Re-formed Church theologians and valuable series of old and new Bib-lical Commentaries as well. These books, no doubt, will be of immense nelp to us in enriching and deepen-ing our own theology and our Christian educational work on the whole. The books are the g i f t s of the Holland-Zeeland Classis of the Christian Reformed Church.

The Rector of the Academy pro-poses the motion that the Govern-ing Council in its proceedings of the present meeting shall com-memorate, with grateful acknowl-edgement, the charity rendered to the academy during the last school year by the people of our sister institution, Hope college, and act-ing on their initiative and following their example, by other Christian bodies and individuals as well.

With grateful feelings do the Governing Council hear the report of the Rector of the Academy about the great and valuable sup-port—spiritual and material—ren-dered again to the academy by her sister institute, Hope college, Hol-land, and by the shining example of the same college, and all breth-ren in the Lord Jesus, Christ. In their response, the Board of Coun-cillors turn their thoughts first of all to God and give thanks to Him, saying with the Psalmist, "Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and for-get not all His benefits." (Psalm 103:1-2) — T h e Academy's Govern-ing Council see, above all, the signs of God's grace and loving-kindness in those gif ts which He, through the charity of our brethren in fa i th from beyond the ocean, has sent to the Academy for the miti-gation and alleviation of her spir-itual and material needs. These g i f t s have meant, fo r many people, an escape f rom misery, a visible growth in the Christian fa i th , hope and love, and, in many cases, they have even meant the saving of hu-man lives. The people of Hope col-lege, Holland, and the people of the Reformed Church Academy, Saros-patak, are one in Christ. They form a common fellowship and to-gether, as fellow-workers, praise God's glory, the Heavenly Father ' s everlasting love and benevolence. The Governing Councillors of the Academy humble themselves before the Almighty and thank Him, the sole Head and Lord of the Church, that , in the mirror of th.ese char-itable services the people of both colleges could again perceive the miraculous reality of the one body of Christ, the unity of the saints. The Governing Councillors bless God, the Holy Trinity, that , a t a time when fa i th and hope have been on trial amidst indigencies. He has made us feel His comfort through our brethren in fai th .

The Governing Council send their warm thanks and gratitude to all those who in the service of God's glory have initiated and, sparing neither trouble nor pains, organ-ized and executed this great chari-ty work which has surpassed all imagination. In their thanks they especially wish to remember the Board of Trustees and the Staff and the Student Body of Hope Col-lege. They feel, first of all, greatly obliged to President Lubbers, un-der whose kind patronage the charity work was organized, and to Professor Osterhaven, the origina-tor of the whole charity campaign and its most ardent promoter ever since. They feel also much in-debted to all the students of the college who did the arduous task of canvassing for the campaign and of collecting and packing the gift articles. And last, but not least, they say "thank you and God bless you" to all known and unknown brethren in faith who through their praying and giving have contrib-uted to the munificent gifts re-ceived.

The Governing Council, at the same time, gratefully acknowledge the receipt of the theological books sent to the academy by the Hol-land-Zeeland Classis of the Chris-tian Reformed Church and thank them wholeheartedly for their most valuable gifts.

Clothing Parcels Sent From Hope

Dr. M. Eugene Osterhaven, Col-lege Pastor, announced recently that sixty parcels of clothing were sent from Hope college, on the weekends of October 1 and 8, to needy students a t the Sarospatak academy in Hungary.

The Sarospatak project, which has resulted in the close union be-tween Hope college and the Saros-patak academy, has now been ex-panded to a committee represent-ing the Reformed Churches of the Synod of Chicago; it has received the endorsement of and aid from the Classes of the Synods of Chi-cago and Iowa. Some of the funds received f rom these church areas are going to be used in Sarospatak to rebuild the dormitory of the theological school there.

Dr. Osterhaven has learned that four years of study of the Russian language in the Sarospatak Re-formed Academy is now required by the Hungarian government. This fact succinctly indicates the nature of the political situation in Hungary.

Awcact

Af te r several weeks of restless activity, students and faculty are hit t ing their stride. As the autumn colors deepen, the well-oiled ma-chine of learning runs smoothly, and we more on to answer the challenge of another school year.

"Thud" ' . .-. Can it be that the English we

are learning now will be obsolete before we are much older? Gad-zooks and forsooth! To the teen-agers the country over who are rapidly developing the full-fledged language on their own, the possi-bility of such a happening is not too remote. I t 's a " f r i p " (lousy) deal, but we "ooks" (sad squares) will have to "fall flat on our faces five times," and stop being "creeps," and "sizzles" (anything f rom a creep to a show-off). So '^hud," (new version of drop dead, or what have you) and get hep . . .

A meager quorum . . .

"We do not have a quorum pres-ent," cried the speaker, and the voting was postponed until a later date. Only one-fifth of the Senior Class was present a t a Senior class meeting. Lack of class cooperation is an old, old story with us, and not having a quorum present is an ordinary s tate of affairs. Af t e r three years of rest , it would seem tha t everyone would have energy to burn this last year, and would make it a point to be at class meet-ings. In a few years, the govern-ment of the country will be in the hands of this same group of peo-ple. Will we do a bet ter job then, or will everything else come first? I wonder . . .

"Open Season" . . .

It has been open season for frats and sororities these past few weeks. As in other years, any decoy that would bag game has been used — all the old tricks and a few new ones too. Back-slapping and "ye olde fellowship," are the rule until rushing season ends. Then the friendly, smiling upper-classman becomes a grinning ogre to the un-happy pledge. But don't give up pledges, it's a battle well worth fighting. Being a member of a so-rority or fraternity on Hope's campus can be a source of great pleasure, and a rich, rewarding ex-perience. It has been in the past, and if superficiality and anti-democratic elements are ruled out as they always have been at Hope, it will continue to be so in the fu-ture . . .

Sarospatak turn to the Word of God in sending their blessing to the whole community of Hope college, Holland, and to all the congrega-tions which are in the fellowship of faith and work with her. "He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will He pay him again." (Proverbs 19:17).

May God guard and shield the people of Hope college and may He guide them in such a way that His promised grace shall be fulfilled upon them!

In witness of the authenticity of the above extract:

Both the Fre»hnian pull team (above, left) and the Sophomore pull team (above, right) have been strenuously preparing for the Pull of *49. The results of their practice mil be evident this afternoon at 4, when the teams match muscles across the Black River. Dpperclass coaches for the Freshmen are George Reineke, Al Sauder, and Rodney Stevenson; the Sophomores have received their coaching from Sam Pickens, Jack Rys-kamp, and Harvey Moes. Veterans of last year's pull who are members of this years Sophomore team are Bremer, Zalinka, Finlaw, Du Meg, Reverly, and Bluekamp.

Foreign Students At Hope Have Varied Backgrounds

Fourteen countr ies , nine religous fai ths , and a wide diversity of ex-perience and backgrounds have representa t ion on Hope's Campus this fall — in the twenty-one for-eign s tudents who enrolled here for the 1949-1950 t e rm.

Hope's claim to a cosmopolitan a tmosphere is supported by the list of countries which the foreign s tu-dents represent . Iraq and the Nether lands lead the parade of foreign s tudents with an enroll-ment of f o u r f rom each. All the ma jo r cont inents a r e represented, including South America, Asia, Afr ica , and Europe ; and one country, Roumania, has sent a s tu-dent to Hope's campus f rom be-hind the iron cur ta in .

Even though the P ro te s t an t fa i th claims sixteen of the foreign stu-dents, it has no monoply on the re-ligious beliefs of the ent i re group. In addition to the sixteen Protes-tants , of wheh f o u r a re members of the Reformed Church, Moham-medanism, Syrian Orthodoxism, Copticism, Anglicanism and Roman Catholicism have been added to the varying f a i t h s represented a t Hope.

Four of the s tudents a re making their first visi t to college while twelve a re members of the upper classes, and four a r e special stu-dents. For the most par t , the for -eign representa t ives entered the United S ta t e s under visas labeled

Eight a r e financing their educa-tion f rom accumulated savings, others a r e sponsored by the i r home governments , and five a re being

aided by the college scholarship fund .

The foreign s tudents range in age f rom 18 to 32. Nine of them prefe r the comfor ts of a private home while the remainder chose to live in closer contact with their Ameri-can f r iends in the dormator ies and barracks .

The most s t r ik ing note of differ-ence which the foreign s tudents re-ported was the cont ras t in the at-t i tudes of American professors and their homeland instructors . "Here , " one reported, " the profes-sors leave the ma t t e r of learning up to the individual, but in my country the methods a re more or less dictatorial ."

The study habits of the Ameri-can and foreign school sys tems also received its share of contras t . The fore ign s tudents pointed out tha t

in America the emphasis seems to res t in unders tanding and compre-hending the subject , while in the countr ies which they represent , a g r e a t major i ty of the mater ia l is learned by rote. One foreign s tu-dent summed up the feelings of his fellow s tudents when he said, "A t home it is necessary to memorize pages and pages of mater ia l l i ter-a l ly ."

Many of the s tudents a r e a t Hope in the Science Depar tment p repar ing f o r the medical career .

According to the mater ial ga th-ered by an ANCHOR reporter , the fore ign s tudents as a whole have come to feel a t home on Hope's campus, and their f a i th in the high qual i ty of schools in the United Sta tes has been fu l ly justified.

Kangaroo Court Sentences Frosh

A new system of punishing the Frosh who disregarded the rules f o r "Wear ing of the Green" was init iated this yea r in the form of a Kangaroo Court . The court could be seen in session every Wednesday noon in the Pine Grove and punish-ments were enacted a t var ious con-spicuous spots on campus.

Str ict adherence to court proce-dure was the keynote of the pro-ceedings. Summonses were pre-pared and delivered personally by the process servers , Phyllis Leach and Gene Campbell. At the court session the accused Frosh was sworn in by Prosecut ing At torney Bud Vande Wege. The accusation was read by Judge Roger Gunn, and then the jury , composed of John Vergeer , Dick Leonard, Jean Woodruff, F r a n k Zwemer, and Mary Houtman, went into action. The verdict, reported by Al Arwe, fo reman of the jury, was invariably "Gui l ty ." Ann Cousins was clerk f o r the court .

The sentenced Frosh could then choose his own fa te , by drawing it f rom a j a r in which had been placed slips of paper containing punishments .

What a week! Wednesday — con-vocation; T h u r s d a y — Glee Club Fr iday—soror i ty ini t iat ions! Hard-ly had any t ime to wri te up the

poor ol' Music Box.

Speaking of Convocation, the Choir did a beaut i fu l job of sing-ing. Several compliments have reached our ever news-seeking ears , and I can confirm those compli-ments myself . Grea t th ings can be expected f rom this group of seven-ty-five young people. I t ' s improved already and more improvements

a re for thcoming; so they tell me! How good can one choir g e t ? Ac-cording to Governor Williams, they've even got the most beaut i ful

women on campus (h -m-mm!) .

On to the Women's Glee Club's

annual par ty , where we gorged ouselves on hamburger? , pota to chips, pota to salad, ice c ream, and doughnuts — calories were galore, and we loved every one of 'em! I t ' s wonderful to be a Junior and get near the f ron t of the line. That green gets mighty thick toward

the end of the line this year . Plans a re going ahead at full

speed on both the glee club t r ips . Requests for dates are coming in f a s t and thick, and we're all look-ing fo rward to successful j aun t s — the women to the Eas t and the men

to the West .

Homecoming ' s / a lmost upon us and Thanksgiving is jus t around t h a t proverbial corner, so we can begin counting the days and weeks

until Chr is tmas (and recess — hooray!) . Speaking of Chr is tmas , Mr. Davis s tar ted this year ' s Mes-siah rehearsa ls last Monday, the 17th. Anybody interested, come around. You'll be welcome, you can be sure of tha t ! F u t u r e date-to-re-member : MESSIAH CONCERT; Tuesday, December 13, 8:00 P.M.

The Music Box is runn ing a little slow this week, so we'll close the lid and wind it up fo r next

issue. Nancy Smith

Hope Students See Bizet's "Carmen"

A g r e a t deal of in te res t was shown in the opera " C a r m e n " when a number of Hope s tuden ts a t tended the production on Sa tu r -day, October 15, 1949, in Grand Rapids.

A block of sea ts was obtained especially f o r the s tudents , through the French Depar tment , which also provided the t ranspor ta t ion .

Georges Bizet was the composer of all the music in the opera. Al-though the opera was wr i t ten by a Frenchman, it has a Spanish flavor. It includes the Spanish dances Se-guidilla and Habanera , plus some Gypsy Airs .

The opera itself was founded on the s to ry of Carmen, wr i t ten by Prosper Merimee in 1845. I t was not presented by Bizet till 1875. Since then it has been presented many, many times.

The costumes were most colorful and very beaut i ful .

Carmen was thoroughly enjoyed

by all who at tended.

College Considers Purchase of Organ

The Music Depar tment of Hope College is appra i s ing two o rgans a t present fo r the purpose of choosing one to use as a new prac-tice organ, which has been needed fo r some time. These o rgans have been given fo r two-weeks t r ia l by the Meyer Music Co. of Holland, Michigan, and the Vaney Music Co.

of Grand Rapids.

When purchased, the new organ will be installed in Chapel 9 and used f o r practice by the advanced s tudents . S tudents a re now using these o rgans fo r practice, and the music facu l ty will make the de-cision as to which organ shall be

purchased.

Council Welcome to the first of our bi-

monthly repor t s f rom the Hope College Student Council. This year the Council intends to make every effor t possible to act as the voice of the s tudent body. One of our p r imary projects to reach t h a t end will be to run a series of repor ts in each ANCHOR edition to in-fo rm all s tudents of what the Council has done, wha t it is doing,

and wha t it intends to do. - T h e Council is opera t ing under

the leadership of President Nick Yonker. He is ably assisted by E v i e V a n Dam, the vice-president. Bob Hill and Alice Gravenhoers t have been act ing as tenta t ive sec-re ta ry and t reasure r , respectively. The Council has had to wait fo r the rat if ication of their new consti-tution before the exact membership could be determined and permanent

officers appointed. Because these repor ts a re ge t t ing

a belated s t a r t on the school year and on the activit ies of the Council, we here summar ize briefly some of the more impor tant events already presented by the Council. Before the school year even began for upperclassmen, the Council was busy planning the Freshman Mixer and Orientat ion P r o g r a m . Bill Bocks was chairman of the Mixer and Mary Houtman headed up the Orienta t ion Program. More re-cently, the Council presented the annual All-College Mixer under

the able chai rmanship of Max Fre-go. .Shortly a f t e r . The Frosh donned the i r t radi t ional "green" . Those who did not were brought before the Freshman Kangaroo Court wi th Judge Rodger Gunn

presiding.

There a re a whole host of other

activit ies such as Homecoming, class elections, the Consti tut ion, school dances, etc. tha t could be mentioned at this time, but fo r the l imitat ions of t ime and space. But we hope you will be with us again in the next addition f o r the inside

repor t on Your Council.

Dr. van Kleffens Receives Degree At Convocation

A special convocation of Hope college was held at 8 p.m. on Octo-ber 12, at which His Excellency Dr. Eelco N. van Kleffens was pre-sented with an honorary Doctor of Laws Degree f rom Hope College. Af t e r the presentation of the Neth-erlands Ambassador by the Honor-able Wynand Wichers, LL.D., Vice-president of Western Michigan Col-lege of Education, President Irwin J . Lubbers of Hope College coiv-ferred the degree. Dr. van Kleffens then addressed the a s s e m b l y , speaking about the United Nations organization from the point of view of the Netherlands and the smaller nations.

He stated that there were three criteria which the smaller nations used in judging the UN. Is the UN impartial; is the UN efficient; and is the UN an organization in which the smaller nations can t rus t ?

Citing many cases that had come up before the Security Council, the Ambassador felt that although the smaller nations had been pleasantly surprised a number of times, these criteria had not been reached. Ho stated that law is the only objec-tive standard in public relations and only safeguard of citizens. When the UN begins to use arbi-t r a ry power, it spells its own dis-integration. The UN must abide by the charter . Improvements must be made. The veto which defends the veto must be amended.

Dr. van Kleffens deplored the tendency of UN nations to form blocks and to use the UN as a wea-pon in diplomacy to attack oppon-ents. His. complaints do not have their origin in the charter, but in the shortsightedness of individual governments.

His Excellency felt that it was much better to be critical of the UN now and hot pretend every-thing is all right. America should work for the UN in a constructive way, realizing its shortcomings. Dr. van Kleffens looked upon the Hope College Anchor as a symbol of faith, part of which is due re-gard for the individual and the state.

In closing, the Ambassador said, "There is yet a chance; if we hold f a s t to our ideals and work with perspicacity, all will be well with the UN."

An academic procession of Hope College faculty and the senior class preceded the convocation. Mrs. Claus J . Bushouse sang the Neth-erlands national anthem, "Wilhel-

mus," followed by the audience

singing "The Star Spangled Ban-

ner." The Invocation was given by

Reverend John A. Dykstra, D.D.,

president of the board of t rustees

of Hope College. ^

Greetings to the Ambassador

were given by William Jerome

Laughlin, President of the Hope

College International R e l a t i o n s

Club; by the Honorable Harry Har-

rington, Mayor of the City of Hol-

land; and the Honorable Governor

Mennen Williams, Governor of the

State of Michigan.

The Chapel Choir led by Mr

Harvey 0 . Davis sang two numbers

with Mrs. W. Curtis Snow a t the

Scenes At Traditional All-College Mixer

3

On Saturday, October 8, the tra-ditional All-College Mixer wan held in the Carnegie Gymnasium. The Freshman and Sophomore skit:', were presented, the Kangaroo Court was introduced, and fresh-man received their "greens"

Xhe college mixer was under the supermstuli of Ruth DeGraaf and Evie Van Dam; Connie Shilling and Jeannine De Boer planned the refreshments; Master of Cere-monies was Bill Hinga and his as-sistant, Roy Lumsden. Randy Van-dewater was in charge of publicity. Representing the different classes were Kep Cloetingh, Senior; Corky Otte, Junior; Randy Vande Water, Sophomore; and Don Hillerbrands, Freshman. &

The Senior and Junior skits were combined to save time. This act

consisted of a mock court and a torture chamber. A Freshman was tried and convicted for not potting, and was sentenced to the torture chamber. Chuck Mulder, Bob Stop-pels, aiul Corky Otte put on the torture chamber skit behind a sheet.

The second skit was the Sopho-more skit in which appeared Roy Lumsden, Gordon DePree, and Fred Jonkman. A sheet was put over their fronts with their heads stick-ing out through three holes. Small figurations of dolls were drawn on the front of the sheet and the three sang lyrics and school songs. After the Sophomore skit, the Freshman presented theirs. It was a broadcast in which they pre-sented Freshman Max Flesman, supposedly from Germany, with

his green, Tiny Lempke announced

some products humorously. Then

Nick Yonker and Ruth De Graaf

gave the rules for the wearing of

pots. Nick presented the first girls'

pot to Nella Pyle, tucking her hair under her pot and showing her the proper curtsey. Ruth DeGraaf presented the green cap to presi-dent Don Miller and he then potted.

At the door everyone was given a paddle pop and the tipper class-men moved outside, while the Freshman received their pots. The driveway to the gymnasium was completely packed with upperclass-men, and the Freshmen, hurrying home to escape their fate, were greeted and sent down the aisle singing the "Alma Mater" and pot-ting.

Netherlands Statesman Speaks to IRC, Faculty

His Excellency Doctor Eelco N. van Kleffens, Ambassador of the Netherlands to the United States, spoke informally to the Inter-national Relations Club and mem-bers of the facul ty a t a tea given in his honor a t Gilmore Cottage, Wednesday, October 1, a t 4:30 p.m.

Bill Laughlin, president of IRC and Karl Botermans, a Dutch stu-dent studying a t Hope, greeted Dr. van Kleffens. The Ambassador expressed his pleasure in meeting the group and invited them to chat with him about foreign affairs.

In answer to questions from club members. His Excellency told of the immense help the Marshall Plan had been to his country. He stressed the fac t t ha t only capital goods were being purchased with ECO dollars in order tha t the Netherlands might sooner build an unsupported economy. As one ex-ample, he cited the rebuilding of the Netherlands mercantile fleet: a million and a half tons of shipping has been completed since the end of the war.

Discussing Indonesia, Dr. van Kleffens stressed the t rue state of affairs. Only t w o islands, Sumatra and Java , are in revolt, while the remaining thousands of islands with a population of twelve million have been virtually self-governing since the war .

If the Eas t Indies are complete-ly lost to the Dutch, the national yearly income will be reduced only 14%. He expressed confidence that much of the controversy would be peaceably settled.

IRC members were much im-pressed with the clarity of the ambassador's remarks and the con-cise manner in which he spoke. It was felt tha t he was a real states-man and his interest in everyone he met was sincere and apparent.

Dean Reverts, Dr. Hawkinson, Professor Ross, and Professor Wolters of the faculty were pres-ent.

Jffraiemttfca COSMOPOLITAN

Phi Kappa Alpha held their last l i terary meeting on Thursday, Oc-tober 6. Cosmo President, Bill Jel-lema, opened the meeting with a welcome to all guests. Cosmo Bill Laughlin presented a serious pa-per on the subject, "How the Unit-ed Nations Works for You." Cosmo Ed Stetson, newly elected chorus director, led the group in some favorite songs, including, of course, "Red River Valley."

The Sour Seven, an outstanding group of singers, composed of John Tien, Harlin Failor, Bob Stoppels, Paul Kranendonk, Bill Jellema, Bob Kranendonk, and Myron Hermance, e n t e r t a i n e d (in one way or another) the boys fo r the musical side of the evening. Following this, "You Tell Me Your Dreams" was harmoniously presented by a quar-tet made up of Bob Kranendonk, Harlin Failor, Ed Stetson, and Paul Kranendonk.

It is generally believed that Cosmo Bill MacKay was master critic of the evening, although some still think he gave a humor paper. The formal meeting was dismissed and the cigars were lit. The win-dows were thrown up, and once again the tune of "Red River Val-ley" echoed down 8th Street.

ARCADIAN

The Arcadians held their second rushing meeting last Friday night under the direction of President Harvey Moes. Chaplain of the eve-ning, Keith De Jong, led in devo-tions. Arcadians and their guests were spirited by songs which Ken Leestma led. Brother Bill Miedema bashfully lent his golden voice for the occasion.

Arcadian Jim De Young man-handled the humor for the meeting, and colored slides of campus scenes were shown by Vice-President Leestma. The slides, which were contributed by Mr. Geerlings, were well received. The team of Hoekin-ga and De Wolfe provided music with their unique instruments.

Arcadians, their p r o s p e c t i v e pledges, and Alumni will gather tomorrow at the Tulip Room, Warm Friend Tavern, fo r the Homecom-ing breakfast . Mr. James Prins, the new sponsor, will be guest of honor. The North Shore Country Club will be the scene of informal hilarity for Arcadians and their guests.

He will be assisted by Vice-president Jack Ryskamp, • Secretary Jack Brinkerhoff, Treasurer Vern Sik-kema, and S e r g e a n t - a t - A r m s Wayne Fieldhouse. Bob Hill will be the Student Council representative, and the representatives on the In-ter-Fraterni ty C o u n c i l will be Frank Zwemer and Jack Ryskamp. To these men we extend the words — good luck and smooth sailing!

In addition, J im Brown will handle the a t h l e t i c activities; Charles Link will head the Alumni Committee; and Martin Mepyans will serve as publicity director.

The annual serenade by the Kiyckmen opened the school year witli gay harmony; and also, let us not forget that s t ag house-party held a f t e r the Grand Rapids JC game. The f ra tern i ty , a t present, is busily engaged with rushing ac-tivities.

Af te r the Homecoming game, a lunch and get- together will be held fo r Alumni and members in the Knick club room in the Wool worth building.

EMERSONIAN

The Emmie rushing season came to a climactic and successful halt with the activities of last week-end. These activities included a Stag on Friday night and a Barn Dance on Saturday night. All those who attended these meetings were thoroughly satisfied with the fine entertainment and refreshments.

Now the Emersonian brothers are exerting all their time and tal-ents in an effort to make this year's Homecoming one of the most successful in years. There will be much gay activity as the Emer-sonian Alumni return to make new acquaintances and renew others in the warm and friendly atmosphere of the F ra t room. The room will be opened immediately a f t e r the Homecoming parade and will re-main open until game time. Coffee and sandwiches will be served when the room is reopened af ter the Hope-Hillsdale tilt in the afternoon.

The Emmie Float is still a big secret, but it is felt by all the men that it will be one of the finest to enter the parade on Saturday morning.

Thus, once again, the Emmies are joining their forces and are getting 100% behind Homecoming to make it a real success.

FRATERNAL

Fra ters wish to welcome all their alumni and invite them to the ac-tivities planned for them.

On October 6, a Fraternal meet-ing opened informally at Castle Park. Games were played af te r which Fra ters and guests enjoyed sweet corn, and wieners, served by Fraters Lumsden, Slikkers, and Workman. The formal meeting was called to order at the Fra te r Room by President Paul Hendrickson. Fra ter Oosterbaan o p e n e d the meeting with prayer. F ra t e r Zwem-er then led Fraters and the guests through a bit of harmonizing, with ice cream in between.

Humor was well taken care of by Fra te r Brieve with his paper called "Dry Goods," or "The Spice of Life," f rom which he gave his dry jokes with a touch of spice. Fra ter Slikkers then gave an infor-mal talk of Fraternal 's many ac-tivities.

F ra t e r Hinga was master critic for the evening and gave a few words of humor and advice. Fra te r Zwemer moved that the meeting be adjourned.

The meeting of Oct. 15th opened with prayer by Fra ter Hinga. Fra-ter Vande Wege took care of hu-mor with a paper entitled "Adali-za," which explained what a goddess of beauty can do fo r a coed.

Music was furnished by Fra ter Van Ark. He played two clarinet solos and was accompanied by Fra te r Beuker. The serious paper was well taken care of by Fra ter Robert Visscher. His paper ex-plained the Rh factor in our blood.

Master Critic Fra te r Lumsden said tha t the meeting was planned and presented very well. F ra te r Zwemer moved that the meeting be adjourned. Af te r this, refreshments were served.

Morrette L. Rider Spends Summer At Tanglewood

This past summer Professor Morrette L. Rider of Hope Col-lege's music department was among the comparatively few musicians who' are enabled to study each summer at Tanglewood, the sum-mer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, in the beautiful Berk-shire Mountains of Massachusetts. Mr. Rider concentrated in the study of orchestral conducting under the direct tutelage of both Dr. Serge Koussevitzky, recently retired as permanent conductor of the Boston Symphony organization, and Leon-ard Bernstein, well known conduc-tor and composer. He also received instruction in composition f rom Aaron Copland, possibly the high-est regarded of all contemporary American composers.

The summer instruction at Tan-glewood lasted six weeks and con-sisted largely of lectures and con-cert attendance and practice work. The courses of instruction are of-fered purely for personal better-ment and result in no academic credit for the student. The whole atmosphere and organization .is very informal. The student may attend any class or lecture at any time, or he need not attend at all.

Tanglewood at t racts students and visitors from all par ts of the world. Mr. Rider was ra ther surprised that of the first several people he encountered a f t e r his arrival, only a few were able to speak English. Among the well-known musicians he met at Tanglewood were Gregor Piatagorsky, 'cellist; Jascha Hei-

Ponstein, Schrier Travel to Lansing

0 Friday, October 7, 1949, Mr. Lambert Ponstein and Dr. William Schrier of the Speech Department represented Hope College at the annual meeting of the Michigan Intercollcgiate Speech League a t Eas t Lansing. This meeting is held annually to determine sub-jects, places and times of various speech events throughout the year. Mr. Ponstein served as secretary in the absence of Mr. E. S. Avison, Secretary of the League. Rupert L. Cortright, head of the Speech Department at Wayne University, President of the League, presided.

The following decisions were made: on Wednesday, October , 1949, the annual Extemporaneous Speaking Contest will be held at Michigan State Normal, Ypsilanti. The subjects for Women are "The Role of the Family in American Life" and "Liberalism in America." For the men the subjects are "Pen-sions in Indust ry" and "Educa-tion — for What?"

The annual Group Discussion Festival will be h e l d during October, a t Central Michigan Col-lege of Education, Mount Pleasant, Michigan. The subject is "What Should Be the Foreign Policy of the United States Towards the Countries of the Orient?"

On Saturday, December 3, 1949, at Michigan s tate college, Eas t Lansing, a novice debate tourna-ment will be held. The subject for this and all varsity debates is, 'Resolved, that the United States Should Nationalize the Basic Non-agricultural Industries. "The Men's Tournament will be held February 18 at Michigan s tate college; the Women's Tournament, February 25 at Wayne university, Detroit.

The Peace Oratorical and Ex-temporaneous Speaking Contests will be held at Albion college, J anua ry 7. The subject for ex-temporaneous speaking will be "Armaments and World Peace."

The regular "Old-line" Oratori-cal contest, in connection with the Interstate Oratorical Association, will be held this year at Calvin

fetz and Isaac Stern, violinists; and E. Power Biggs, organist. Ar tu r Rodzinsky was one of Mr. Rider's "classmates" for a while, and Sey-mour Lipkin, young Detroit pianist who recently won the Rachmaninoff Award, was another.

Admission to study a t Tangle-wood is very difficult to obtain and is determined largely by the recom-mendation of established and rec-ognized musicians and the evidence of work already accomplished in the student's particular field. Mr. Rider had the recommendation of Thor Johnson of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and his ex-cellent work with the Hope College band and orchestra to at test to his merit.

Before and a f t e r the session at Tanglewood both Mr. and Mrs. Rider toured throughout New Eng-land and spent several days in Provincetown on Cape Cod. They were much impressed with the beauty of the Berkshires and the towns of Lennox, Stockbridge and Pittsfield, near by Tanglewood. During their stay at Tanglewood Overture to an Unwritten Opera," by Don Gillis, and later in the year a work by Stephen Parks, another of these was devoted to contempor-ary American music, which Dr. Koussevitzky has always cham-pioned. Mr. Rider is doing the same thing here at Hope in his work with the orchestra. On the first program will be "A Short

Loop's Undefeated Teams In Homecoming Classic

Saturday's homecoming game will be of double importance this year for it may well decide the winner of the 1949 MIAA football championship. Alumni, students, state grid fans, and scouts are expected to jam Riverview Park, while countless others wait patiently beside their radios and tele-phones for the result of this contest which will bring to-gether the only two undefeated grid machines in the MIAA.

Not only a r e Hope and Hills-1 .

Going through drills in preparation for the Hope game Saturday are

Hillsdale's "One-two punch" Rob Hallock and Bill Young. As a fresh-man in 1946 Young was awarded the MIAA most valuable player trophy, and has been a member of the all-loop team for the past three years. Fullback Hallock was a member of the all-MIAA second team lust year.

Alma Win String Cut, Hope Cops 20-0 Game

Cut t ing short Alma 's victory s t r ing a t 13 games , a flashy Hope eleven s lammed the 1948 MIAA champs into subjection a t Bahlke Field, 20 to 0.

The win, Hope's third of the season, was the first in league competition, a n d s tamped the Dutch as a definite title contender. While t h e Hollanders ' offense clicked to rack up a total of 61 points in the first three games, de-

compara t ive score angle, an u h W e n s i v e action was outs tanding al-

knocked off the Raiders , 34 to 0. Alma fell before the surge of Hope power, 20 to 0, and the Bearca t s

bounced aside the Scots, 26-0, mak-ing the Bearca t s a 10-point favor -

ite in Sa tu rday ' s game.

I r r ega rd less of the resul t , the game will be one of the hardes t fought bat t les to take place within the confines of Riverview P a r k this season, and will b r ing together some of the ou t s t and ing pe r fo rm-e r s in Michigan gr idi ron circles. Heading the list of s t a r s will be Bill Young of Hillsdale and Nick Yonker of the Dutch, the only two members of the conference who have h a u l e d d o w n all-MIAA a w a r d s dur ing each of the i r three

years of competition. Should the Bearca ts emerge vic-

torious a f t e r Sa tu rday ' s game, they will still have to face and de fea t Adr ian and Albion to insure an MIAA crown. If the Orange and Blue should regis ter a win, Albion and Kalamazoo will still block Hope's path to the first league championship since 1934's tie with Kalamazoo fo r loop honors.

Well, it 's been ano the r one of those days — woke up th i s morning and reached f o r a c igare t , g rabbing instead a sheet of f ly -pape r that I'd le f t fo r my but -bumming buddies; stumbled over to the sink and brushed my t ee th ( thought it tas ted f u n n y — s e e m s the shaving cream got mixed up wi th the tooth p a s t e ) ; went to chapel and found tha t the' leader fo r the day had had the audaci ty to s t a r t without wa i t ing for me.

What ' s all th is got to do with s p o r t s ? Not much, but we do have to fill this column, so be pat ient . The g rea tes t t r agedy of the day \ \as finding tha t the mail table was bare as f a r as copiable mater ia l f rom the usually obliging MIAA publicity directors is concerned. The fulli implication of th is g r e a t misfor tune s t ruck me about an hour la ter in a first hour class, when I mut tered aloud at a most i nappropr i a t e t ime,

"Well , you're on your own today." And so here we are , no sports , no news, jus t a line of gab. (You're^

on the wrong side of the page f r o s h ; the women's spor t s are in

column one). Before continuing with this line of malarky , there is one serious

problem tha t I would like to present to the chamber of commerce or whoever is in charge of seeing tha t the press box at Riverview Park re ta ins its lof ty position. If spec ta tors in the s t ands continue to s t amp their fee t as they did a t a recent high school game, you will have lef t one beaut i fu l pile of kindling wood. As we see it, there a re th ree al ter-nat ives: one, stop the s t amping ; two, reinforce the press box; three, fu rn i sh the working press with parachu tes in order tha t a t least their

lives may be spared. Things a r e rough all over I guess. Noticed Dean Hinga hobbling

around a little more uncertainly than usual the o ther day. He wouldn' t admit tha t he'd been mis taken fo r a F reshman — said he pulled a liga-ment while officiat ing a high school football game. While we're on the subject of officiat ing, it seems a downright shame t h a t you have to be a history prof in order to get a job as a referee. You don't believe i t ?

How about Vanderbush, Hinga, and Visser. Checking the record we find tha t Hope's only football championship

was in 1934 — a tie a t tha t . Wonder wha t a "Glory Day" is really like? Sleep until noon — a f t e r chapel. Sure could use some sleep, so let 's t u rn out for these pep rall ies and make a little noise. (If t h a t last sen-tence doesn't make sense, it jus t goes to show wha t burn ing the mid-

night oil can do).

Mixed in with last week's mail was a request f rom the Green Bay ackers to send a list of Hope p layers and the class to which they

aelong to "help us avoid d r a f t i n g p layers who still have college eligi-)ility lef t ." A check with the Dean's office revealed t h a t it wouldn't be necessary to send the list — " A football p layer who's eligible," said

Dean Hollenbach, " W h a t ' s t h a t ? "

We may be prejudiced in f avor of cer ta in athlet ic squads, but not to the extent t h a t we've been payed a t r ibute such as t h a t which was bestowed upon a noted Grand Rapids spor ts editor recently. This gen-t leman, who had been accused of f avo r ing Michigan over Not re Dame in the bat t le of words t h a t has been rag ing f o r the p a s t couple of years , was surpr i sed to find on his desk following Army ' s thumping of the U of M a beaut i fu l bouquet of lilies and a card bear ing the follow-ing comment : " W i t h deepest sympa thy . Army 21, Michigan 7, f r om the Votre Dame club of Grand Rapids and Western Michigan."

In conclusion, may we offer the following l i te rary masterpiece writ-en by Anonymous, whoever he is :

I think t h a t I shall never see A sa t i s fac to ry re fe ree About whose head a halo shines. Whose mer i t s r a t e repor te rs ' l ines; One who calls them as they are And not as I should wish by f a r ; A gent who leans not e i ther way, But le ts the boys decide the play; A guy who'll s t ing the coach who yaps From Siwash Hi or old Millsaps; Poems a re made by fools like me. But only you could referee .

In a t r i a n g u l a r meet a t Adr ian , Hope's H a r r i e r s defeated Toledo Univers i ty and Adr ian , with res-pective scores of 25, 46, and 59. Scored as a dual meet fo r MIAA records, Hope defeated Adrian , 19 to 41.

]ack Petoskey

one of three new coaches in the conference this year.

Petoskey commenced his studies at the University of Michigan in 1940, and before he graduated in '46 he won his varsity "M" in football and was very active in the realm of intramural sports. Dur-ing the recent World War, Jack granted

served as a Lieutenant with the Navy in the Pacific Thea te r . A f t e r r e tu rn ing to Michigan and com-plet ing work toward his bachelor 's degree, he worked fo r and was awarded his mas te r ' s degree in physical education in 1947.

Petoskey then went to St. Joseph high School in St . Joseph, Michi gan , where his abil i ty to produce winning t eams was d i s c o v e r e d . Dur ing his two years a t St. Joe, he came up wi th two top ball clubs and earned the respect of all who knew and worked wi th him.

J ack came to Hillsdale with the determinat ion to produce football t eams t h a t will keep in s tep with the post -war e r a of fine ball clubs t h a t have come out of the Bear-cats la i r , and f r o m the resul ts of his eleven so f a r th i s year , it looks as if he'll achieve t h a t goal. An-other of Petoskey's a m b i t i o n s along the same line, is to come up wi th a squad t h a t can win the MIAA t i t le wi thou t a co-holder Next S a t u r d a y ' s game should go a long way toward de termining whether t h a t d ream will be real ized.

The new coach at Alma this year is Lloyd Eaton, a man extensive training in physical edu cation. Eaton has had considerable coaching e x p e r i e n c e a n d w a s

Rip Collins, rugged tackle, typifies that attitude that the Dutch grid-ders will take when they tangle with Hillsdale's Bearcats Saturday after-noon at Riverview Park in the annual Homecoming game. Rip, a mem-ber of Hope*i "Cabinetmaker" forward wall, played hit prep ball at Grand Rapids South High School,

education by the U n i v e r s i t y of Indiana.

The other member of the new trio of pilots is Lloyd "Dob" Grow

a doctorate in physical ' of Kalamazoo. Grow has been line

coach for the Hornets for the past three years, and before that, held numerous coaching positions in-cluding that of assistant coach at the University of Wyoming.
