Alcor Tea To Honor Dean's List Students Students Hear Lukas Voss

On Friday, January 31, students, James Kranendonk, Terril Zylman and Eugene Boelte, accompanied by Miss Jantina Holleman and Mr. Roger Rietberg of the Music Fa-cuty, were guests of the St. Cecilia Club in Grand Rapids. Mr. Lukas Voss, a contemporary American composer, born in Brooklyn and now teaching at the University of California, gave a demonstration lecture, entitled Confessions from My Musical Life.

Mr. Voss, whose most recent composition. Song of Songs, was performed by the New York Phil-harmonic only a week ago, traced his development as a composer. The first great influence on him as a musician was the work of J. S. Bach. He had been especially, impressed by the St. Matthew Pas-sion.

Next as an influence was the one operatic style of Mozart, which is manifest in all of his composi-tions, operatic and symphonic alike. Mr. Voss then mentioned Beetho-ven, especially the Eroica Sym-phony, which illustrates very well a feeling of inevitability and of surprise; a paradoxal combination.

Among 20th century composers, Mr. Voss profited f rom Hindemith, with whom he studied; Aaron Cop-land, whose use of folk idioms is a trademark, and Stravinsky, whose completely new sonorities (called by Mr. Voss "frozen" sounds) was a new experiment.

Certain types of modern music, among them the atonal composi-tions of Schoenberg and Webern, seemed to Mr. Voss to be inex-pressive. He described them as "lonely peverty", and said that in that sense they might be descrip-tive of our age. If the typical definition of a melody is tha t it is a grouping of notes to form some kind of musical idea, then it would seem that such music shows a deliberate reversal of such a defin-ition.

In regard to the education of an artist , Mr. Voss stated that it first of all requires a solid knowl-edge of what has been done pre-viously. One loves a composition of another art is t and then one tries to imitate it. He vehemently disapproves of the school of educa-tion which believes in letting child-ren "express themselves" before they have seen or heard good models.

French Club Discusses "Music of France"

The monthly meeting of the French Club was held Saturday, February 8 a t Miss Meyer's home. Under the direction of Nancy Boyd, the program theme "Music of France."

The program consisted of a sur-vey of French music f rom 1400 to 1 9 2 0 . Representative composers were selected f rom various periods and a discussion centered around them. Records were used in the illustration of highlights of com-poser's careers. Closing the pro-gram was the discussion of the French opera Carmen by Bizet.

Di:k Brockmier, General Manager of Radio Station WTAS, explains the functions of the station's new equipment to an interested student.

W.TA,S. - - - Dorm Room to Studio Hope's own radio station, WTAS,

is a result of the theory that im-provement and growth are a re-sult of the right people taking ad-vantage of the right time and con-ditions. Eventually the station hopes to render as vital a service to the college as do the Anchor and Milestone.

From its beginning in a Kollen Hall room with only a tape re-corder and a ra ther weak trans-mitter, WTAS has moved into a modern studio and now broadcasts its programs to the whole campus.

There are many men at Hope interested in the work of WTAS. Much credit is due the initiators of the idea of a college radio sta-tion. Dick Brockmeier and Jack Hellriegel have exhibited the vital interest and real ability necessary to get such a project underway and to sustain it. Presently Dick is the General Manager, Jack is the Program Director and Bob Van Etten is in charge of technical direction.

The staff is now concentrating on the completion of the electrical

works of the WTAS studio. Most of the station equipment is being built by the staff itself so as much equipment as possible can be pro-vided for from the budget alloted WTAS by the administration. This work in the studio gives many men general experience with the station and promotes the development of an efficient staff.

In addition to its present pro-grams of music of all kinds, WTAS plans to make its facilities available to various college groups and faculty members. The station will soon be able to broadcast from anywhere on campus, so programs will be able to originate f rom such places as the Chapel or M u s i c Building. WTAS hopes to add to its library of college music events each year. The Messiah, Nykerk Cup Contest, and All College Sing will be recorded. Special programs are to be offered and college an-nouncements given regularly.

WTAS's growth has been rapid and commendable. The student body can look forward to worth-while listening from 610 on the dial.

Eleven Graduate at Mid-Year Mark

Eleven students graduating from Hope College at the conclusion of the first semester were honored at a dinner, January 29.

Hope Wins Top Honors In State Contest

Hope achieved top honors in the annual Oratory and Extempore Peace Contests held on campus, February 7, by winning two firsts in oratory and a second and a third in extempore speaking. Hope was host to the participating schools of the Michigan Intercollegiate Peace Speech Association.

Marianne Hageman, senior from New Jersey, took first place in the women's division with her oration, "The Wisdom of the Heart ." A sophomore from Holland, Ronald Chandler, placed first in the men's oratory finals. The title of his ora-tion is "The Quest for Peace."

Second place in women's extem-pore went to Carolyn Kleiber, a first year student from New Jer-sey. The topic she drew was "Should Our International Atomic Policy Be Changed?" James Ste-vens, junior from Hart , walked off with third place in the men's ex-tempore finals even though he was a last minute substitute for George Worden, who was taken ill shortly before the contest. Stevens' sub-ject was "Should Atomic Energy Be Under Military or Civilian Con-t ro l?"

A banquet in the Juliana Room culminated the day's events. Dr. Invin J. Lubbers gave greetings to the visitors. Awards of $25.00 for first place, $15.00 for second place, and $10.00 for third place were made possible by the The Knights of Pythias Grand Lodge of Michi-gan, which supports this annual contest.

General director was Dr. Albert Becker of Western Michigan Uni-versity. Dr. William Schrier, who coached the Hope students, was in charge of local arrangements.

The two first place winners in oratory, Marianne Hageman and Ronald Chandler, will tape-record their speeches for the national con-test, February 16, when they give them for the Adult Fellowship Group of Hope Church. Eugene Klaaren, second-place winner of the local Raven contest, will deliver his oration "Elmer the Skeptic" for the same group.

An Evaluation During Religious Emphasis Week 1958 new concepts were con-

sidered. Broader horizons were gazed upon. Satisfactory and unsatis-factory opinions were expressed concerning every facet of the week's activities.

We have desired the week to be one of challenge; a week which offered opportunity for re-evaluation of and growth in Christian living. If it has been this for some we are thankful. If fo r others new vistas have not been opened we ask that every possible reason for such an outcome be critically considered.

It is difficult to evaluate the effects of such a period of religious introspection since it has been a very recent occurence. The effects are and will be many and varied; good and bad, but immediate evalua-tion is unable to predict any far-reaching consequences which may be realized.

What is possible and necessary is the concerted effort of each in-dividual to evaluate Religious Emphasis Week in the light of personal situation and need. What insights were acquired? What was lacking? What course should be pursued in my subsequent relationship with God and men? These questions require consideration.

At a recent class session in Van Raalte Hall the professor closed a rigorous hour of lecturing by saying, "I don't care if you don't un-derstand everything, as long as you grow." This is our continued sentiment for all who, during the course of Religious Emphasis Week, have again been confronted with the paradoxes and incongruities as well as the profound significance of the Christian life.

—Hope Brahs —Albert Fassler

PROGRESSIVE EDUCATION: an impressive term, isn't i t ? If asked to give a definition of it, I would say it is an easy way for children to rule their parents and teachers.

Let us visit an average "pro-gressive" home. When one enters, he notices the markings on the walls. Little Johnny is not slapped when he paints on the wallpaper. Why, he may become another Degas or Picasso, and to stunt his artistic talents would be disas-trous! The wallpaper manufactur-ers are delighted with this outlook, of course, but the parents will shortly discover that Johnny's tal-ents might actually be improved by

persoj ^ve t h e m ^ e e reign. The children

ma^em^rge as juvenilejdelinquents but they will have definite persona-lities, and a f t e r all, A a t is the main objective. ParentsXaVe con-fused these days by couitless ar-ticles on child psychology. Unless little Johnny has to rn^hem all up, many gems of misinformation can be found in almost every available magazine. Now his parents know why Johnny acts the way he does! If he happens one day to secure some matches and burns their hum-ble abode to the ground, it must be because something is lacking in his life — warmth, perhaps ? Of course it couldn't be that the little demon just likes to watch the bright, crackling flames shoot sky-ward!

A mother will become very con-fused in a department store when her little darling wants to finger each hand every piece of clothing in sight. He must, she reasons, have a good eye for design and fabrics; he will go f a r in that line (especial-ly if the manager is watching).

Now let us visit an average "pro-gressive" school. If one can make his way across the playground without mishap, he may visit the

classroom. Inside are a group of pupils in various forms of activity, "expressing their personalities." This will give their poor, f rus t ra t -ed teacher a clue to Johnny's per-sonality. If he plays with blocks, he will be an architect; if he carves the desk, he will become a fine sculptor; if he plays with one of the doll houses, he will make some-one a good wife someday!

Teacher had a setback today, which accounts for the fearful , be-wildered look in her eye. I t seems that one of her pupils approached her this morning, with his trusty little jack-knife in hand, and at-tempted to slice her! Naturally, they disarmed this poor child and took him to a psychologist, who solved the problem. The psycholo-gist instructed the teacher to give the child a piece of soft pine wood and let him whittle to his heart 's content. This will not ony curb his violent nature, but at the same time fur ther his creative genius. In grandfather 's day, and even in my day, I have no doubt that a pine stick would be used. However, it would not be sof t pine, and it would be used quite differently.

Back to our teacher! Af t e r that dreadful experience, she still must struggle on with her policy of self-expression for children. One littel boy makes it quite difficult for her. He has just raised his chubby hand and asked, "Teacher, is today the day we have to do what we want to do?" This, of course, set the s tatus of progres-sive education back many years. He was immediately analyzed by several top child psychologists who found, much to their amazement, that he was completely normal!

No doubt this trend in education will be revised before too long, discover that it is profitable to Parents and teachers alike will mold children in their early years, when they are still sof t and pliable and can benefit f rom good disci-pline.

Lubbers Combine Business with Pleasure in Florida

In an at tempt to combine pleasure with business. Dr. and Mrs. Lubbers left December 27 with Miami Beach, Florida and the meetings of the Association of American Colleges as their destination. Before ar-riving at the meeting which was hid January 6-10, they first stopped off at Rochester, New York City, and Washington, D.C.

The meetings of the Association of American Colleges were of pri-mary importance this year because of the recent crucial happenings in higher education. Two of the most important discussions being on the subjects of increased training of scientists and increased financial aid from the government. However, reported Dr. Lubbers, the signifi-cance of this conference lies in the fact that the colleges went on record as wishing to keep them-selves independent of government support and as supporting and en-couraging all of education as im-portant, not just the scientific pur-suits.

Following the conference, the Lubbers travelled across the state to St. Petersburg where they en-joyed a brief but pleasant vacation. While in Florida, they visited a few of the new Reformed Churches growing in that area. Wherever the went — whether in New York, Florida, or Washington—they were greeted by Hope graduates.

Despite the bad weather which they encountered, they both had a pleasant and safe journey.

Classics Club to Meet Publicly For Last Time

Monday night, February 17, the Kletz will be the scene of a public meeting of the Classics Club. The meeting, which will begin a t 8:15, will feature the Rev. J. Coert Ry-laarsdam, Ph. D., Associate Pro-fessor of Theology a t the Uuniver-sity of Chicago. Rev. Rylaarsdam has done considerable work in clas-sical languages and culture.

This will be the last public meet-ing of the Classics Club, composed of all interested Greek and Latin students, because a t long last the club is going national. The efforts of two-and-a-half years by the ad-visor, Prof. Edward Wolters, and student leaders of the club, will be rewarded this spring when the Classics Club will become the Gamma Rho Chapter of the na-tional f raterni ty , E ta Sigma Phi. Membership into the f ra tern i ty is open to all interested students who maintain a "B " average in college Greek or Latin work. The club was accepted by the Grand Execu-tive Council and later confirmed a t the National Convention of the f ra terni ty held last April. Dele-gates f rom the Northwestern Uni-versity of Chicago chapter will pre-side over the establishing of the local chapter in March or April.

Sunday: Dear Diary,

I've been hearing a lot about this Dutch Treat Week thing, you know. Well, today I found out what it is. That senior was crazy; we don't have to wear wooden shoes and Dutch caps. The girls have to ask out the boys; now isn't tha t crazy. Oh, and the girls have to pay for it too. Golly, there are so many good looking boys on campus, I don't know who to ask.

Monday: Dear Diary,

Golly, the boys around here are modest. I asked three different guys to go to coffee with me and they all told me that they would probably only bore me and I should save my money. I guess Dutch Treat Week brings out the best in them.

Tuesday: Dear Diary,

You remember that I put my name in the Bachelor Bank? Well, I won something! I've got a date with one of those beautiful males! We have a f ree pass to the Park to see Eighteen and Anxious!

Spice and Crumbs How to Write a Term Paper. (With

Scant Apologies to the English Department.)

Now that the second semester has begun, and everyone has made a resolution to get a 4.0 average, I think it is entirely in order to help those who have been weighed in the balance and found wanting.

The enigma of every college student is the term paper. The student may breeze through a course without once cracking a book, but when he hears the dread-ed words "term paper" he immedi-ately latches on to as many books as he can, and makes life generally unpleasant fo r those around him. However, there is no need of this; a f te r thirteen years of writing term papers myself, I have finally come up with the simplest and easiest way to write one, and still get a good grade. I have developed a system which has all the fine points of term paper writing in it, and yet is not difficult to under-stand.

One of the first steps in attack-ing the problem of a term paper is to decide what one is going to write about. Now here is where many students make a rash deci-sion. A big thing like this requires much prayer and fast ing, and many a young man or woman has had a career spoiled because of hasty ac-tion. Novelty is the key word here. Although a paper on Otto von Bis-marck will probably merit you a recommendation fo r a history scholarship, an article entitled "German Saloons in the Nineteenth Century" will give you the life-long friendship of the professor; a very handy thing in times of need. You may not always be able to think of a masterpiece, but your paper will be different than any-one else's; a rich reward in these times of conformity.

There is no call f o r blood, sweat, and tears when it comes to the sources for these subjects. Simply by writing a short note to the En-cyclopedia Britannica you will re-ceive a nice, typewritten list of of potentials fo r your paper. No, I didn't say you should read these sources but they make a very im-pressive bibliography.

Always write the paper in an in-formal, chatty sort of style.. Af t e r reading a few hundred impersonal scientific observations, it will be

Wednesday: Dear Diary,

Tonight I took George to the Calvin game. For someone so good-looking, he's awfully intelligent. Really, I mean it! He kept telling me how the game should have been played. If someone is that smart I really think he should be made an advisor to the coach or some-thing. Really, don't you think so?

Thursday: Dear Diary,

I took Bob to coffee today. Such a slob! He slurps, and he ate two doughnuts and said about three words the whole time we were in the Kletz, and every one of them was with his mouth full. Oh! I hope he never asks me for a date! I would have the most terrible time. And when he was done gorg-ing himself he said something that sounded like "see ya." Not if I see him first he won't. He's out of it!

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I asked Jim to the dance tomorrow night! He's such a doll. Mmmmm.

Friday: Dear Diary,

Dutch Treat Week is all over. Gosh it was fun. The dance was divine. Jimmie, ( that ' s what I call him now )is divine. He dances di-vinely. He looked so divine. He really has charm too, dear diary. Say, did you know that they have submarine races out at Ottawa Beach? We couldn't see them though, they were under the ice-bergs. Oh, tha t Jimmie!

quite a t reat for the professor to read yours, with its nicely turned phrases and catch-words. Even a joke or two (referr ing to the sub-ject a t hand, of course) will not be out of place. (I t should be men-tioned here, tha t it is well for you to make sure that your paper gets on the bottom of the pile. No sense having him read yours first. The whole evening would be wasted for him and he would probably commit suicide wading through the others a f te r having read your gem.)

If the temperament of the pro-fessor is such that he requires that you hand in your note cards, Don't worry about them until you have finished your paper. Then write them out, picking the important ideas from the paper. You will probably be mentioned among the faculty as being a little above aver-age in taking notes. "He just seems to know just what the main subjects are," they will say. Re-member, faculty pull is a sure road to bigger and better things.

This, I think, hits the main points of the fine a r t of term-paper writing. If I have induced some of you to t ry these methods, contact me; I have oodles more of ideas.

Dating - - -Hungarian Style

t

by Gabrielle Pinter

Dating in Hungary is just as im-portant a question, as it is in the United States. The difference is that we never can ask a boy. We have never thought about it. I think it is a very nice idea, but from European eyes it looks so strange.

In the Hungarian capital, we al-ways find traffic on the streets, es-pecially on Saturday and Sunday. The young people usually meet on the street. There is a big "rendez-vous" place in Budapest, right be-fore the National Theatre. From four o'clock to late night, there is always somebody (the boy) who is waiting. The girl should be late be-cause it is elegant that way. Many times it happens that these boys who wait at the "rendez-vous" would not want another boy to know that he is waiting for a girl. Maybe she is late ten minutes, so everybody acts like they have no-thing to do, and are just hanging around.

Finally, when the girl arrives, the boy gives her some flowers and they usually go to a dance. There are several places for young people, where they can drink a cup of cof-fee and dance. To go to a dance, it is not necessary to have a date in Budapest. We like the "s tag" system. Many times the boys go alone and the girls do too. If it is a school dance, the students send tickets to another school. Then there is a reason why we should not have a date. The boys who come mostly dance and it is an opportu-nity to dance with many boys.

We have many kinds of dances. We dance to almost every kind of jazz music—Hungarian, English, French and American (this was permitted only a few years ago).

However, there are some other kinds of recreation in Budapest. For young people there are many swimming pools, some of which have artesic natural water. Young people go there in the winter also.

In the springtime, we used to go to the mountains of Buda for pic-nics. These mountains are not too high, but there are many flowers, especially violets, growing at that time.

The winter brings many concerts and banquets. These banquets were mostly free, fo r everyone who was interested in science or literature. We also had many music concerts. We could get so much information from the banquets, for they were not lecture-like. The speakers showed pictures and slides, making his lecture more interesting.

This will .give you an idea of how we date and what we do on a date in Hungary.

Gardner Kissack acted as Master of Ceremonies at the meeting. Ronald Lockhorst served as the master critic for the even-ing. Musical contributions were made by the Emersonian Quartet, composed of Gordon Stegink, Lewis Stegink, Don Jansen, and John Zwyghuizen and The Dorian Trio. Also a solo, "Without a Song," was rendered by Gordon Stegink.

Fraternal. This evening the Fraternal So-

ciety will hear a panel discussion on the relation of science to polit-ics. Those participating in the dis-cussion will be Stan Harrington, Curt Menning, Art Olsen and Dave Spaan.

This past weekend the Fra ters held a literary meeting at which Norm Peddie led in prayer, Ron Siebeling presented the humor paper, Carl Ver Beek presented the serious paper on "The Great De-pression," and Dan Ritsema pre-sented special music.

Dutchmen Ciush Alma 95-62 As Benes Scores 26 Jayvees Edge Hollander Beverage, 85-84 in Overtime

Afte r the regulation game was tied at 81 all, Hope's Junior Var-sity five squaked by the Hollander Beverage quintet 85-84. Ben Van-denbos' bucket and a pair of char-ity tosses by Don Boyink pro-vided the margin of victory.

Coach Gord Brewer's team, vast-ly improved over their earlier sea-son outings, led most of the way, leading by eighteen at halftime. But the Beverage outcourt shoot-ing was consistently good and the recreation team tied it up with a basket in the last two seconds to necessitate the overtime.

Leading the Hope scorers was Bill Vanderbilt, who clicked for 24 points. Boyink added 17, Doug Japinga 14, and Bob Hilbelink 11. Shorty Van Dyke paced Hollander Beverage with 30 and teammate Zeke Piersma came through with 18. The loss was the first of the season for the Beverage quintet.

Hope Still Un~ beaten in MIAA

Hope's cagers continued their unbeaten string of eight games in MIAA play Saturday night at the Civic Center by crushing hapless Alma, 95-62. The Dutch have now come out on top in their first eight MIAA contests to lead the league. Their closest rival is Calvin, with a 7-2 mark. Alma's defeat left them with a 2-7 MIAA record.

Benes Tallies 26 The Dutchmen got off to a nine

point margin, 26-17, midway thru the first half, and extended it to 50-26 at the buzzer. Both Benes and Ray Ritsema scored heavily and dominated the rebounding. Each scored 15 during this time, mostly from close in. Benes, how-ever, played only about half the game when the subs took over to hold Hope's big lead.

Vrlesman Hits for 14 Wayne Vriesman added 14 points,

most of them in a spurt early in the second half, but he, too, re-tired to the bench as Hope piled up a 40-point margin with twelve minutes remaining. Af ter that the Hope subs played the rest of the game, and allowed the Scots to creep only six points closer.

Hope had a very fine thirty-eight percent average f rom the field and sank seventeen out of twenty-nine f ree throws. Alma managed twenty-six percent from the field, but had a better free throw average than Hope. George Arrick led Alma's scoring with fifteen. Teammates York and Northrup followed with 11 and 10.
