Drama of China Discussed By P & M
Monday night , April 17, Pa le t te
and Masque had its bi-weekly
meet ing in t h e Commons Room. The p rogram was based on a paper, "Chinese Drama," read by Edna May Richards. Chinese d rama began, much like tha t of Greece, in rel igious dances on fest ival days. La t e r on, according to t r a -dition, Ming Huan, saw lunar ac-tors on a t r i p to the moon and introduced spoken drama on ear th . He t rained young boys and girls and built the first s tage in a pear garden. Soon music and poetry were added; and, until very re-cently, there was little else in the Chinese d r a m a . The thea te r s in China have s t ages which leave the scenery to the imagination of the audience. The spectators come for a whole a f t e rnoon and evening and talk and ea t with their f r i ends dur-ing the play. The proper ty man, dressed in "invisible" black o r blue, changes scenery on the s tage. When an actor has to climb a mountain, he br ings in a chair fo r the actor to step over. If the property man puts down a red cloth, everyone immediately unders tands tha t some-one has been beheaded. Present -day Chinese d rama has been in-fluenced by Western d rama . It is used as p ropaganda to teach the i l l i terate Chinese about the war , its significance and their pa r t in it. A f t e r the paper was read, there was a discussion period, dur ing which Edna May answered the questions of the group.
Work has begun on two plays, "The Lit t le Pr ison" and "Over-tones," which will be presented at the banquet on May Day.

In . . . . Digestion By Edna May Richards
The main difficulty, so go the reports , that Washington has in dealing with neut ra l s is their s t rong belief that we face a long drawn-out campaign agains t the Nazis. They think tha t even though the Allies may establish beach heads in Western Europe, the Germans a re s t rong enough to force us into posi-tional war fa re , similar to the Ital ian campaign .
Reports reaching here say the neutral and satellite coun-tr ies view the si tuation like th is : the German s t ra tegic r e t r ea t in the Eas t will stop somewhere short of the Reich f ron t i e r ; in the West, the German objective would be to inflict t remendous
Bri t ' sh and American casualties.
In China, despite the depressing effect of the economic conditions, morale, even in the occupied a r e a s is r ising with the United S ta tes victories in the Pacific and Russia 's continued successes. Fully informed sources say that the well-publicized inflation hasn' t been exaggera ted . Since 1937, prices have mul-tiplied two hundred times, and some think they will double again in six months unless a new supply route into China is opened.
It has jus t come to l ight tha t Germany used to send large shipments of Russian- language instruction courses to war prison-ers in the United States. Could it be they 've finally accepted the inevitable.
British military observers believe that the Red Army's chief effort this summer will be a drive through Poland to s t r ike directly at the German homeland.
Hit ler is reported to be prepar ing a sequal to Mein Kampf f o r release in the event of his death, explaining away Germany ' s "se tback" ' and outlining the necessary s teps f o r reorganizing the Nazi par ty so tha t it can lead the count ry back into world power.
The exile governments a re cancelling previous underground orders to their nationals not to grow more food than they per-sonally need and are encouraging them to produce as much as possible for the use of the l iberat ing Allied forces .

We Interview
Mary Blair Head flung back, eyes intent ,
with a firm stance and hands t ight-
ly gr ipp ing the bat we came upon
our senior of the week, Mary Eliz-
abeth Blair. A f t e r three or four
hours of this, which is only a sl ight
exaggera t ion , she will limp stiffly
back to the dorm and for the next
week "ease" a long with tha t "lum-
bago ga i t . " Baseball is the only
th ing Mary will give up food for .
A Voorhees sage has said, "Give
Blair something to munch on and
she'll pu r r like a contented ki t-
ten, any t ime!" She has doted on
the spor t since her youth when
with boyish bob and plenty of vigor,
she was as good a tomboy as any
kid on the block. Her hear t is no
longer given to boyish "bobs" but
ra ther to a guy named Bill in Rhode
Island. They share mutual inter-
ests in good music and books, and
aside f rom this Blai r has a pecu-
liar in teres t in Oxford, hopes to
go there someday on a Rhodes
scholarship. This, of course, is to
be shrouded in secrecy!
A favor i te weekly ambition is
to sleep blissfully in the midst of
a spread, which she has managed
to accomplish f requent ly . Perhaps
th is is due to the "Grand Cen t ra l "
a tmosphere tha t pervades the Blair-
Dings suite a lmost fifteen hours
a day, at least it accounts for her
early-bird s tudy habi ts .
This is Mary Blair f rom Union
City, New Joisy, you unders tand;
well, this Mary has decided to seek her f ame and for tune with the National YW Association and while you can' t say she is entirely a career woman her capabilit ies should be well rewarded in this field.
As versat i le as her many names — Pas ty Face, Hanna , the-woman-tha t -washes , and Prune-puss , are he r contr ibutions to campus l i fe : pres ident of YW and Sibylline so-ciety, co-editor of the ANCHOR, member of Alcor, W.A.L., and Who's Who, and associate society editor of the 1943 MILESTONE.
You have not ent i re ly captured the spir i t of Mary Blair, however, until you pay t r ibu te to he r prin-ciples and values and the f ac t t ha t she t r i e s to live he r Chris t iani ty day-by-day, which, a f t e r all, is the spi r i t of Hope.

Gregg Keizer Leads German Club Meeting
Last Wednesday, April 19, the German Club met in the Thesau-r ian Room. The program centered around the educational sys tem of Germany. Gregg Keizer read a paper on the schools in Germany dur ing the pas t century . Miss Boyd augmented this repor t wi th her personal observations of more re-cent education in Germany. The group s a n g German folk songs in Van Zoeren gave a shor t , humorous German. Gregg Keizer and J a y play called "Das Hun t . " Ref resh-ments were served by Gregg Keizer.

E d i t o r i a l s
Present Day Enthusiasm Necessary Without a doubt 1943-4 has been one of the s t rangest
school years in some time. Giving all due consideration to the war and a depleted civilian male population, we never-theless believe that the ra ther unsatisfactory feeling which this year has given to many of us is, in no small par t , our own fault .
To begin with, upperclassmen unthinkingly and uninten-tionally sowed the first seeds of unrest in Freshmen and themselves by constantly re fe r r ing to things as they used to be. Enthusiasm was spent on detailed accounts of other years ra ther than turned to the activities at hand. Witness the meager crowd who attended the excellent lecture by Anauta . Recall the few straggling into W.A.L. coke parties, the gradually decreasing numbers who attend "Y," and the general lack of spiri t that has been felt all year. Organiza-tion leaders, recognizing that this would be an unusual year, put for th considerable effort to plan a more extensive and well-rounded program. Instead of cooperation and response on the part of the student body, those in charge of activities
v have practically had to beg support for their programs. And still the cry goes on: "There 's nothing else to do. Let's go downtown!"
We have heard many, dissatisfied with this year, thinking of t r ans fe r r ing next September. Do we think that conditions are different elsewhere? Have we gone home and found our fr iends in other schools or those who did not leave for col-lege, living the same sort of lives as last year or the year before? When are we going to wake up and realize that this is war and things must chanye! Oh, yes, we've heard that before and we're getting sick of it. Nevertheless, it 's t rue and we haven't as yet accepted it. When we consider the school life of people of our age in almost any other allied nation, we sicken at the pettiness which we allow in our lives here and the constant "gr ipe" which we set up.
There is still plenty left to make college life worthwhile and if we learn to put our emphasis on things of value, we'll still live a full life in spite of the war. There are still a few more activities left this spring, let's participate. New leaders of various organizations are planning next year 's program now and are asking our assistance. Let's give them our con-crete suggestions and come prepared to take an enthusiastic par t when they're carried out next year.
Let's consider all sides of the question before we decide to t r ans fe r in the fall. Hope has much to offer and going away to find more may not be as simple as it sounds. And when we have decided to come back another year, let's make up our minds to live with enthusiasm in the present and not in the past! M. E. B.

In the spring a young man's
fancy lightly turns to thoughts of
induction — or so it seemed last
week with most of our male popu-
lation off on a romp to Detroit!
Could we ever sneak beyond the
second paragraph in this column
without mentioning engagements?
Yup — Diamonds are still popping
up in great fashion. Anna R u t h
Poppen, Marian Sandee, and Rosie
Winstrom have awakened that flur-
ried feeling about campus with
their pulse-throbbing jools.
There's a new fad in the library.
You take a book in one hand, and
a well-fueled pen in the other, and
play a little game with them. It's
called Writing a Term Paper. It 's especially exciting when you have a coupla miles of French to strug-gle through as a topper-offer. Just ask poor little Lucille VOH!
But school work seems to be a threatening cloud in everybody's life these days. The era of lan-guid scholars is on1;, a blissful memory — especially in Prof. De Graaf 's Survey class. It takes a mental mastodon to cope there. Ruthie Van Bronkhorst does right well, though. Her knack for un-derstanding all that romantical po-etry used to be super, but since being engaged, it 's even superer!
Professor Vanderbourgh's 5th hour Education class must be worthy of superlatives. A sym-phony of chuckles, including Mike Klies' familiar ripple of laughter, rings out daily.
If you saw Connie Scholten dash-ing around behind a brow furrowed with frenzy, it was because her f ra t pin was a missing item. Van Vleck Sherlocked for days before suc-cess.
E. J. Kooiker and Max Den Herder are starring in Corona ca-pers and other stenographic pur-suits. They stir the blood in their type-bitten fingers with "Off we go, into the file case yonder."
We just can't scamper off with-out adding some w o r d a g e on
WHITE CROSS Barber
Easter-ish happenings. For in-stance, did you notice how V i \ Tar — Oops! We mean Mrs. Cook't — face glowed above that lovelj orchid? — Marge Emery rated i posey of the family Orchidaceae (Whew!!), too — Plus a perfectly perfect week-end in Chicago. — Jan spent a Rusty-less Easter, but it was gay nevertheless. Being with "the folks" is a wonderful compen-sation!
Before long we'll no doubt be
all inked up about Rose O'Day It 's
usually 'bout this time of year
that she start les everyone with her sand and surf frolics. She still has a faint bronze — a hangover from soaking up '43's sunbeams, but we betcha a coke (make mine fresh lemon with lotsa ice!) she'll be out at Ottowa consolidating it before the next issue!
The Mcrry-Go-Round Goes
Round, but What Do We Do? Life is a sort of merry-go-round
— really a series of merry-go-rounds, for one doesn't go spinning madly around in one set path, but, rather, as one circuit is completed he goes on to the next and larger one. As each ring becomes larger, the scope becomes wider and many more things can be seen. If one has what it takes, he may keep riding and learning. At first the sur-roundings are quite indistinct. The only real thing is a person called "Me," about whom everything in life is centered. There seems to be no room for anyone else. "Me" rides along, having his ups and downs, and gradually as he becomes accustomed to his surroundings, he sees tha t there are many people and things along life's way. There are people more fortunate than he, some less fortunate. There are others riding with you on the same merry-go-round. It becomes evi-dent that those who sit on horses too high for them always fall off; but, humbled, pick themselves up

Disentanglements of European blood streams, Nazis to the con-
trary, is well-nigh impossible. Dr. W. M. Krogman, professor of anatomy
and physical anthroplogy at the University of Chicago, points out.
"Peoples of Europe in their march from east to west mingled their
blood streams so completely that 'pure blood' is a misnomer and even
isolated, inbred exceptions are few and far between," Dr. Krogman says.
During the past 15 years I have made an intensive study in
physical anthropology of 75 per cent of all skeletons excavated in the
Near East and positively have been able to demonstrate that 6,000
years ago there was such a thorough race mixture that any claim of
'purity' today is not founded upon historical fact and common knowledge.
"If races are to get along with one another none can afford to have a chip on the shoulder.
"They must always be prepared to understand the viewpoint of
the other. Doubt and suspicion are destructive no matter who kindles the flame.
"Progress of racial interfusion is a gradual and slow process. It
is so slow, in fact, that progress made overnight may be undone the
next day. Demands made and granted in the present war emergency
may not hold a f te r this period. This means that majority and minority
groups must understand one another's problems and viewpoints.
"Therefore the process of adjustment is one of reciprocal 'give
and take.' Advancement is not made by either exorbitant demands or
by equally extravagant denials," he concludes.
Dr. Krugman believes social structures of the post-war world
must assume — since all men are created biologically equal — social equality.
There is no valid reason why we should deny any group — racial
or religious — opportunity to participate on even terms in social, eco-
nomic and political life of the nation, he holds.
and seek a position more suitable.
There are many who need "Me's"
help, for "Me" is f a r more fortu-
nate than they. If "Me" gives
them a boost, they can ride, too,
but without tha t boost life is too
difficult for them, just as it was for
"Me" before some unknown person
helped his ascent. Now that "Me"
has the feel of things he can really
branch out. Things that seemed
unobtainable before now come to
him more easily. Some days "Me"
may even catch the brass ring
which entitles him to ride even
f a r the r and wider. Along the way
"Me" is apt to slip back into the
smug ways of his first merry-go-
round. What could be more fitting
than that he is sent back to review
his earlier years — to see the
things he left undone — the mis-
takes he made. It's tragic to be forced to catch the same merry-go-round all over again, but it may make "Me" come back to his senses.
But what of us? Some of us are still on that early circuit, and there's no time like the present to realize that there are others around us. We are capable of realizing that we are the ones to do the boosting. Some of us are on our merry-go-round for the second time. There are so many new things we must see that we can't afford to lose sight of them by slipping back. There are people living in tents and fox holes be-cause they believe that we at home are working together, helping one another out — not slipping back. We can live up to their expectations if we remember that life is com-posed of people, all sorts of people — and it's not for just us or our crowd, it's for everyone, with no exceptions. It is when we person-ally, or as groups, think and act and live in terms of others that all are most content.

Pres Stegenga has "been
moving recently . . . 'The govern-
ment considers that they have
given enough German and foreign
area study and therefore we have
been assigned to activated combat
units. Some of the fellows from
Carnegie Tech were assigned to
A.M.G. (Allied Military Govern-
ment) work and will do some fin-
ishing up work, possibly at Oxford
College in England. Some other
fellows of our group went to Army
intelligence training. I was just
attached to a unit last week and
don't know quite yet what my as-
signment will be. Whatever it
leads me to, it should be quite in-
teresting with plenty of activity!
I imagine Holland and the campus
are quite quiet now that the Army
has pulled out. "Oh well, it was
swell while it lasted I" (And quit-
quoting quibblingly.) Pres is Pfc.
stationed with the Q.M. Corps at Indiantown Gap, Pa.
Fylstra
Lt. Hank Fylstra writes from Chanute Field, "I t ' s been a long time since I shamefully looked in Prexy's eye as I walked into chapel ten minutes late. I've almost for-gotten, too, about those little talks he and I had on the well known subject of why I cut Physics class. When I got into the army I thought it would be the same, but I soon learned that cutting classes meant the loss of open post privileges. So while we are fighting for the four freedoms, I'll fight for a fifth — to come back to Hope where 1 can cut a class occasionally. For the past fourteen months the Army has kept me busy and I can honestly

say I've enjoyed it. Seriously,
though, I 've missed the good old days at Hope and I'm looking for-ward to the time when we all can get back. I am now stationed at Chanute Field where I, along with my classmates, are getting transi-tion training in a four engine hotel known as a B-17. We get courses in Aerodynamics where the instruc-tor vainly tries to convince us that something that big can fly. If you want to know what it's like to fly in a B-17, just imagine yourself in a ten-room house during a hur-ricane. If you ever saw the cock-pit of a Fortress you'd know why we are called "meter readers." We just step on this, push that , pull this, put one switch on and four more off, say a prayer and hope it works. If it doesn't, you reach for that bundle of silk known as a parachute. When we graduated and received our long awaited wings last month we thought we were on the top of the ladder, but we soon found that a 2nd Lt. was only a "gold bar private." At least once on every ride the flight in-structor gives us that disgusted look and wants to know how we got through Advanced. So it goes on and on and every morning at the crack of dawn we hear that same cry, 'Get 'em into the blue.' In answer to that , I can only say that Hope was never like this."

"Kverything seems to have hap-pened to 4I)ick Wierenga' 'since I left Kalamazoo and dear old Hol-land. I went to Asbury Park, but my residence there was cut short by orders from Hu Pers. However, during the stay there I was able to visit New York City, on a week-end liberty and stay at the Berke-ley Hotel, which is right across the street from the Waldorf-Astoria.

Marquette Dental School on the
Ist of March. So 1 spent the rest
of the day getting my orders to be
transferred to Milwaukee.' Because
he had no Organic Chem, he was
not allowed to enter school there,
and 'got orders to start V-12 here
to finish my Organic Chem so 1
could start Dent school in July.'
Well, it has been a month since
their semester started and I have
to catch up on all that studying
. . . I'm taking 15 credit hours
which is only 2 hours less than the
rest plus 2 hours of Ph. Ed. I'm
finding it hard to get up so early after taking life easy for a month. The V-12's are barracked in ho-tels. I'm in the Monitor Hotel where all the Pre-Meds and Pre-Dents are staying. Our roms are rather small but there are only two of us in one which is better than what we had at Asbury Park. Plus the V-12's, there are R.O.T.C. stu-dents. Meds and Dents. Altogether I should say about 1,000. This is a Catholic University and I have Fathers teaching in several of my classes. Before each class everyone gets up, crosses himself and says some Catholic verse.'"

by Ow«n Koeppe Baseball is once again ruling the sports world all over America.
Big League teams started play a week ago Tuesday. This is undoubt-
edly the most unpredictable season yet. With the father draft and all
that, no team is sure of anyone. On the whole, the pitching looks com-
paratively strong again. An increasing number of Cubans and other
foreign nationals are appearing in the lineups.
The St. Louis Cardinals still look very strong, in the National
League. They have last year 's pennant-winning club minus the second
baseman and a few pitchers. Ace-pitcher, Mort Cooper, is still with
them. If the Cards are not terribly unlucky with the draf t , we will
pick them to take their third straight pennant. Cincinnati has a team
that may go places. Their losses so f a r have been light. Of course,
if nobody minds, we'll pull fo r the New York Giants. They're off to a
swell start . They have some good hit ters like Ott, Medwick, and Lom-
bardi. But, off the record, don't count on them.
The American League is much more unpredictable. The World
Champs have been one of the hardest hit teams in both leagues. They
have lost almost everyone. Keller and Dickey are gone. Chandler, Gor-
don, and Bonham may leave any time. Johnnie Murphy is gone. You
cannot lose men like that and stay the same. Despite all this we still
give the Yanks a chance. The St. Louis Browns have a promising team.
They have been near greatness for quite awhile and stand a pretty
good chance of going to the top this year. The Washington Senators
still have a team worth watching.
One of the greatest pitchers of all time is quitting the game this
year. "King" Carl Hubbell has 253 victories. He was twice chosen
the league's most valuable player. In 1933 he had a 1.68 earned run
average. He struck out Fox, Ruth, Gehrig, Simmons and Cronin in
succession in an All-Star game. He was one of the best liked players
to ever take the mound. We hope he makes the Hall of Fame some day.
Tri-Alphites started their softball league this Monday, that is if it
didn't rain on Monday. Being as we are not prophets we will comment on this game later.

Ball one — strike one — ball
two foul — strike three — sorry,
you're out! Better luck next time —
batter up! Accidentally on purpose
it s o u n d s like baseball. Games
scheduled for last Thursday were
called off due to the "soggy" ath-letic field. But the sororities are practicing up for the big inter-sorority games. So, watch the bul-letin board for the scheduled games. We'll show the opposite sex how to play ball — ahem!! Last week one afternoon Nat Bosman hailed a soldier who was bicycling along the street to play catch with her. P.S. He couldn't even catch her swift ones! For fur ther infor-mation see Nat.

at 5 o'clock in the gym. May 19 is the "red letter date"
on our sports calendar. It 's the an-nual track meet — relays, broad jump, high jump, and the 75-yard dash. The "captains" of the vari-ous classes are Virginia Zoet, sen-ior; Rosanna Atkins, junior; Pinks Mulder, sophomore; and Betty Van Dyke, freshman. How about a little practice to get the rust out of your bones?
Bicycle for your health. It 's mus-cle-building — weight-reducing — and gives your cheeks that outdoor girl complexion. Yes, all that in one easy ride! A hike to Macatawa is planned for Saturday, April 29. W.A.A. will furnish the refresh-ments. Bargains are rare these days, so take advantage of this one:
OK, gals, we're still waiting a bit impatiently for a few of you to complete round one of the ping-pong tournament. You're holding up de woiks, so let's get on the ball.
