For some of our faculty, the summer months will provide a brief period of relaxation with friends and relatives; for others it will mean traveling into foreign lands to experience life such as no book knowledge could ever accomplish; and for others it will mean a con- tinuation of teaching and learning, so that they might be better pre- pared to instruct us in the ways of wisdom in the years to come.

Progress in Campus Government The Leader sh ip Conference held recently a t Camp Geneva

climaxed a yea r of dynamic S tuden t Council. The conference

was pr imar i ly designed to fo s t e r a sense of cont inui ty among

leaders of var ious organiza t ions and to serve as a b i r th place

fo r ideas re la t ive to campus ex t ra -cur r icu la r act ivi t ies .

As a sui table end to a year t h a t witnessed a t h r u s t f r o m

s tuden t to campus government , t h e conference marked "f in is"

to a y e a r of very signif icant change. Pe rhaps , t h e s tuden t

body has not been aware t h a t th is year ha s wi tnessed the

s t r e n g t h e n i n g and t h e complete revi tal izing of our own

form of campus government .

When the members of today ' s senior class were f r e s h m e n ,

Nick Yonker , a very capable council pres ident , i naugura t ed

a commit tee sys tem wherein vi r tual ly every decision ren-

dered, every gr ievance aired, pe r ta in ing to you t h e s t uden t

body, would be handled by joint commit tees composed of

s tuden t s and facul ty . Cer ta in a reas were recognized pri-mari ly however , as being the concern of the f acu l ty and

these were designated as f acu l ty - s tuden t commit tees , or fac-ulty commit tees with s t uden t representa t ion . Corresponding-

ly cer ta in a r e a s were believed to be of p r imary s t uden t con-cern and these were des ignated as s tuden t - f acu l ty commit-

tees or s t uden t commi t tees with facul ty represen ta t ion . This year , as a connect ing link between s tuden t s , f acu l ty

and admin i s t ra t ion , a commit tee composed of the pres ident

of the college, the th ree deans and the four execut ive off icers

of the s tuden t council was put into operat ion and finally

evolved th i s pas t week into a formal s t r u c t u r e of Hope Col-

lege governmen t . This commit tee , NEXUS, is the u l t ima te

and final r e f e r r a l commit tee . It is the last e lement in a

sys tem of checks and balances t ha t can insure you the s tu -

dent body of final jus t ice in any dispute between the organi-

zation and yourse l f . This basis f o r this new concept of campus gove rnmen t is

simple. The jo in t commit tee sys tem where decisions a r e

made impar t ia l ly by s tuden t s , facul ty and admin i s t r a t ion

wi thout regard to affi l iat ion rest on one premise. If two peo-

ple, w h e t h e r t h e y are of t h e facul ty , admin i s t r a t ion or s tu-

dent body, object ively view the same evidence and all of i t s

ramificat ions, t h e y will a r r ive a t the same conclusion. T h a t

is why the re is an even number of s tuden t s and admin i s t r a -

tion in N E X U S and t h a t is why we have a sys tem of jo in t

represen ta t ion in the commit tees . The resur rec t ion of t h e commit tee sys tem was only one of

a series of innovat ions t h i s pas t year . The pas t e ight m o n t h s

witnessed tlie in t roduct ion of pa r l i amenta ry procedure to

faci l i ta te S t u d e n t Council deba te ; the es tab l i shment of a Pub-lications Boa rd ; a S tuden t Council luncheon with the Board

of T rus t ees t h a t promises to become an annual a f fa i r to crea te be t t e r unde r s t and ing and more effective l iaison; a

S tuden t Council office in Van Raal te ' s b a s e m e n t ; a complete

r evamping of t h e f r e s h m a n or ienta t ion p r o g r a m ; a Leader-ship Conference and a weekly ser ies of radio p r o g r a m s spon-

sored by Hope College.

The council i naugura t ed several services t h a t in them-

selves are minor but added toge the r have been impor t an t .

There ' s a Herald in the Kletz, ink in the l ibrary and a new ping pong table in the " g a m e room."

The re has been a lot of pra ise doled out to this pas t y e a r ' s council pres ident and vice-president , and very deservedly so.

One figure is usually lef t out of considerat ion however. Doc-

tor Lubbers , t h rough his sincere in te res t in S tuden t Council

gove rnmen t and very ea rnes t e f for t in our behalf , deserves a

g ra t e fu l , if belated vote of t hanks .

W.A.A. Holds Banquet Tonight

The finale of W.A.A.'s '52-'53

season will be held tonight, May

28, in the Juliana Room of Durfee

Hall. Af t e r the annual banquet,

board members representing next

year 's sophomore and junior classes

awarded are the individual honors for participation in W.A.A. spon-sored sports of the season, the Hazel Kleyn award to one deserv-ing sophomore girl, and the All Sports Trophy to the dorm or town team with the best cumulative rec-ord of the season.

Contributing toward this award is the softball championship, won by the town team. Second and third places go to the Durfee junior and the Van Vleck teams respectively.

Hope was well represented by their co-eds who travelled to Kala-mazoo to participate in the recent W.M.I.A.A. meet. A first in tennis singles was captured by Mary Jean TerBorg and the corresponding first in doubles by the Sally Palen-Betty Schepers duo. Mary Wolters, Jea-nine Upton, and Marilyn Broersma are to be credited with a third place among the archers.

Hope's women's tennis team re-ceived stiff competition f rom the M.S.C. women on May 19. To Betty Schepers goes the lone win of the meet. She defeated J . Streng 10-8 and 6-0. On the following day, Hope met the Western women and suffered a 5-2 defeat . Mary Jean TerBorg outplayed Lewis of West-e m 6-3 and 6-3, and the Sally Pa-len-Betty Schepers team won their doubles match 6-1 and 6-2.1

Faculty Will Study Continued from p a g e 1

in preparation for the day in Sep-

tember when she leaves for the

Netherlands to study Music; Mr

Rhein Visscher also expects to be

in the Netherlands for six weeks

a f t e r which he will travel to France

and Switzerland.

Mr. Hinga will be right at Hope

most of the summer working on

housing and men's counselling, be-

sides doing his usual youth fel-

lowship lecturing; Dr. Hollenbach

will attend a Workshop in Minne-

apolis for a week or so, and then

travel to the West Coast with his

family; Miss Reeverts also plans

on taking a trip to California with her sister, making stops at places such as the Grand Canyon, etc.

Mrs. Prins will represent Hopa at the A. A. U. W. Conference in Minneapolis this summer and then return home; Miss De Pree plans on traveling to New York and then back to Indiana for her vacation Miss Boyd will travel East to visit relatives in Baltimore and Rich-mond; Mr. Lampen plans on t rav-eling to California with his daugh-ter for a little rest ; Mrs. Snow will travel East , and then out to Denver and Minnesota to see her grandchildren.

Others like Mr. Ver Beek, Mr VanderBorgh, Mr. Kleinheksel, Mr Kooiker, Mr. Kleis expect to teach or study by themselves during the summer.

T h i n k ! W h a t does my life on campus ref lect? Does my

ife, my act ivi t ies reflect my Chr i s t i an f a i t h ? The fall con-

ference was personal centered. A f t e r read ing Death of a Salesman and Ecclesiastes as resource mater ia l we discov-

ered t h a t the problems and f r u s t r a t i o n s fac ing Willie Loman

and modern youth a re basically the same as those of the

oread ie r in Ecclesiastes . Who a m I ? W h a t mus t I do to be

whole? Today we a re real is ts not idealists and we pride ourselves

in t h a t f ac t . But is our real ism real or are we laboring under

false rea l i sm? Is it being real is t ic to ent i re ly discount ^od? Or, are we wha t Rev. Walvoord so apt ly called intellec-

tual "motels" , where" no th ing s t a y s longer than 24 h o u r s ?

Do we know wha t we believe? Ephes ians was the objec t of t h e intensive search a t the

Bible Conference. Verse 7, of chap te r 1 caused much discus-

sion. "In whom forg iveness of sins, according to the r iches

of His g race . " Are our religious convictions based on personal experiences

or is it "goss ip theology." "Gossip theology," a t e rm used

jy one of the facu l ty of Parr ishf ie ld , means ideas we have

got ten f r o m o the r s or f r o m books, not as a resul t of personal experience.

Why t h e Y ? Here is t h e t heme of our sp r ing conference.

W ha t is the purpose of Hope College YWCA and YMCA?

The YMCA and the YWCA are in ternat ional organiza t ions

whose expressed func t ion is providing fo r the spir i tual , in-

tellectual and social g rowth of t h e youth of the world. The

Y's a re convinced of the t each ings of Jesus , and they a re

seeking to give expression to a Chr i s t ian religion which is

intellectually ma tu re , emotionally s a t i s fy ing , and socially ade-

qua te f o r the day in which we live and the f u t u r e we face.

Freshmen Face Revitalized

Initiation Program in Fall By Helen Van Loo

U n d e r g r a d u a t e s ! As we look back on ou r debut as f r e s h -men on Hope 's campus , the event which made the mos t last-

ing impression on us — t h e event which first comes to our

minds is the f r e s h m a n init iation, o r the official "welcoming

to Hope College.

Because th is week is such a vital one, and because t h e r e

existed a fe l t need f o r improvement , a g r o u p known as the

F r e s h m a n In i t ia t ion Evaluat ion Commi t t ee was born (an-

o the r "new baby" on campus this y e a r ) . A f t e r ve ry ca re fu l

considerat ion of t h e problem, t h i s commit tee , headed by

Verlaine Si ter , came up wi th a n u m b e r of resolut ions which

were adopted by y o u r S tuden t Council f o r appl icat ion du r ing

the fo r thcoming school year . Because t h e p r o g r a m dif fers somewhat from those of previous

Campus Buildings to Get Summer Face-Uplifting

Various campus bui ldings will undergo a p rogram of re-

decoration du r ing the coming summer , Mr. Rein Visscher .

college business manager , announced last week. Total reno-

vation costs will amount to approximate ly $10,000, he said.

The first t h r e e floors of the Science Building will have

new pain t in every room and corr idor . Labora to r ies will

be shaded mellow beige, ceilings shell ivory, and offices Dresden g r e e n . " W e find tha t

creams, buffs and greens are the

best colors because they are easy on the eyes," Mr. Visscher said.

The entire Chapel building will be reconditioned. The auditorium walls, made of artificial stone, will look like new, and the foyer and halls will receive an entirely new color. Classrooms on the north side will sport a shade of coral, and walls of the YW and YM rooms will have coats of warm gray and willow green, respectively.

The Juliana Room in Durfee Hall and the adjoining entrance will be a darker shade of green than at present.

Van Raalte's halls are to be re-painted colonial buff, and the north and south entrances will also be redecorated.

Additional changes and improve-ments will be added throughout the campus during the summer, Mr. Visscher said.

The ANCHOR Staff wishes EVERYONE

a very Pleasant and

Profitable Summer

Bill Parson and Vern Barkel will return again next year to do any special photography of which the Anchor has need.

A list of news reporters, typists, and sports reporters, and fea tu re writers is currently being formu-lated by Editor Vedder; and next year this list will appear in every issue, along with those on the edi-torial staff, giving recognition to everyone who justly deserves it.

When in the coarse of inhuman

procedures, we finds it of utmost

impertinance to dissolve these hear

scholastic bands (not lead by Beau-

regarde Rider) between the r ight

honorable Science Building and the

remainder of the campus lying to

the south.

We hold these t ruths to be selfish

and evidental: All Science-tuckians

is c r e a t e d ; They is undoubtedly with certain unalignable r ights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of Voorhees girls.

None of our science-tuckians can forget the closing words of Honest Abe MacClary's ". . . and tha t this science Building of the students, by the students, and for the birds shall not perish f rom lab explo-sions."

A state of war now exists be-tween the science-tuckians and the southerners logisticated a t F o r t Van Rattle. All volunteers should sign up now with Captain Clem Kisken. Our commander-in-chief is tha t fortui tous f a t man, the hero of the junior-birdman wars, John Marshal Kenwell.

Now we are engaged in studying for final exams, testing whether this student or any student so con-fused and so dectated can long en-dure. Aha! We have stumbled upon a problem common to both science-tuckians a n d V a n Ratt l iginians alike. This fact , together with the reality tha t the Kletz is sa turated at For t Van Ratt le calls f o r truce. We're too busy to f igh t any-way.

years, this article comes by way of informing (and perhaps warning)

you of what to expect.

The activities themselves are the

same. There will be a Freshman

Mixer, an All-College Mixer, a

Kangaroo Court, and an Orienta-

tion Night in which the freshmen

may become acquainted with the

extra-curricular activities on cam-

pus.

Here are the changes. Instead

of the initiation program extending

over a tedious four-week period, it will be concentrated to a more effective two-week period, the cli-max and conclusion of which will be the freshman-sophomore pull. Because the pull involves the com-petition between the f reshman and the sophomore classes and the ful-fillment of the objectives of the ini-tiation program, more than I t hon-ors our returning alumni, this event was removed from the Home-coming week-end and scheduled for the conclusion of the two-week pro-gram.

The initiation rules are changed most markedly, perhaps, and it is here that the words of warning would apply.

First of all, the little pots which were always responsible for the moldy green haze in the "old days" will be replaced by beanies of our school colors. The narrow adhesive tape with an illegible name secured on the pots will be replaced by a green sign of a s tandard size with white letters one inch high. This is to be worn about the neck in the fashion of a sandwich man.

So when you view the strange creatures that will emerge on cam-pus next fall, never f e a r ! They're neither s p e c i m e n s f rom another world, nor escapes f rom a New Yorker cartoon, but our own be-loved freshmen!

The burning of the pots and the curfew have been eliminated from the rules. However, pas ty faces will be the style for women again, as they may wear no make-up the first week and practices of frosh carrying the books of upperclass-men and singing the Alma Mater on request have been reinstated.

But take notice of this new event. One day during the first week will be known as "Spiel Day", or an op-portunity for exuberant frosh to expound on the glories of their home towns for two minutes on request of an upperclassman.

With added details as to the times and places for specific events, this is the blue print f o r the next f reshman initiation program. As a spokesman for next year ' s Student Council, I am appealing fo r your cooperation in fulfilling these plans in an initiation that will promote a positive relation between next year 's f reshman class and Hope College!

Noted Men Visit, Observe Campus

Two noted men, Dr. Clarence Lee Furrow and Dr. R. Williams, were recent visitors to Hope's Campus.

Dr. Furrow holds a professor-ship in Biology at Knox College. He is, at present, the Executive Di-rector of the North Central Asso-ciation Study in Liberal Ar ts Edu-cation. While on our campus (May 18) he held a series of consulta-tions with various facul ty and stu-dent groups. His general topic of discussion was "Recent Develop-ments in Educational Programs" .

Dr. Williams is P r o f e s s o r of Physical Chemistry a t the Univer-sity of Notre Dame. The purpose of his visit was that of gaining a general view of our college as a whole, giving special attention to the Chemistry depar tment .

Hinga Is Delegate

To June Parley During the week of June 18-23,

Dean Hinga will be a delegate to the Fi rs t National Conference of The Faculty Christian Fellowship for College and University Profes-sors. It will be held on the campus of Pa rk College in Parkville, Mis-souri. The general theme of the six-day conference will be "The Responsibility of the Christian Pro-fessor in the Academic Commu-nity".

Kirtly F. Mather, professor of Geology at Harvard University, and George F. Thomas, professor of Religion at Princeton Univer-sity, chairmen of the F a c u l t y Christian Fellowship and its Execu-tive Committee, respectively, will serve as chairmen of the National Conference.

Concert Travel Continued from p a g e 1

certs. Prices and definite dates will be announced later.

The travelogue series presented by the Kiwanis Club this year will again be held in the Hope Chapel. Students will again be given the opportunity of a t t e n d i n g these Wednesday evening travelogues, il-lustrated by slides and movies.

Next year 's series includes five travelogues. On October 7th Julian Graner will give an i l lustrated lec-ture on The Atlantic Coast, includ-ing terr i tory f rom Maine to Flor-ida. November 4th will bring Ken Button with his talk on Western Wonders. The Great Mac Kenzie, the story of the great Alaskan riv-er, will be presented by the Ras-nussens on November 25th.

With the track team adding another first place to the fold, Hope ended one of i ts most successful athletic seasons by winning the MIAA's most coveted prize, the All-Sports Tro-phy, finishing one point ahead of Albion, (50-59 when the final results were tabulated.

Possessing the All Sports Tro-phy is not something new for the Dutch. This year's capturing of the prize marks the fourth time that Hope has been able to walk away with the honors. The last time that the trophy resided here at Hope was in 1947; it was also in our possession just before the war and in the mid-thirties.

Perhaps a mild surprise was reg-istered by this year's baseball squad. Given very little by various campus "experts" in pre-season predictions, the Hope nine ran up a six won and two lost slate in the league to tie former champion Alma. Little mention has been given before to the man most responsible for this year's co-championship, rookie coach Russ De Vette.

Although not scoring as high in the standings as the other teams, the cross country and golf squads, which finished third and fourth re-spectively, were spokes in the wheel of triumph. Both of these groups suffered from lack of material and fan interest, but mention should be given to their coaches, Green and Visser for their diligent work.

Hope had to be contented with runner-up position in two sports this year. The football team under the reins of A1 Vander Bush matched their previous year's rec-ord in the league of four wins and only one blemish, but undefeated Albion swept the crown away. It was the same story in tennis, coach Ken Weller's racquet men placed second behind perennial M.I.A.A. champion, Kalamazoo.

As mentioned before, the track team came through with its sec-ond consecutive championship. In-heriting much of last year's team, Coach Larry Green's thinclads fin-ished twenty points ahead of the pack at the league meet last week. Mention should also be given to the fine showing they made against larger schools in the Great Lakes Invitational.

But it wasn't only track which could claim a successive champion ship. Basketball, the king-pin of sports here at Hope, beat Kazoo in a playoff game to break their regu-lar season tie and give coach John Visser and his team another title.

All in all it was an abundant season. For the players who dis-played Hope's long tradition of sportsmanship while keeping vic-tory as their goal; for the coaches who piloted their teams so effec-tively; and for we, the sports fans, who can appreciate their combined efforts and can enjoy their bring-ing us our fourth MIAA All Sports Trophy.

Fraternity Sports Conclude Action

In the closing hours of the in-terfraterni ty sport 's season, the final results were as expected in softball and bowling competition. The total points for each fra ter-nity in the year's activities has, as yet, not been tabulated. How-ever, there is little doubt as to which fraterni ty will emerge with the All-Sports Trophy. At present, the Fraternal Society is assured of no less than first place in all events.

The final on softball shows the Knickerbocker Fraternity complet-ing their season with an unblem-

, In an important inter-fraternity softball game, the Knickerbockers c l inched their seventh consecutive championship by downing the Praters 15-6. Turning point of the contest came in the sixth inning when Wes Sikkema, working with score 11-1, was forced to face Frank Talarico with the bases empty: he fanned the young rookie.

ished record to take first place in that sport.

In bowling, the Fraternals main-tained high efficiency throughout the campaign to tie for first place with the Arcadians, the team-to-beat this year.

Before the school year ends, stu-dents will probably witness the t ransfer of the All-Sports Trophy from the Emersonian Fraterni ty House to the lounge of the Frater-nal House. This act will climax the interfraternity sport 's calendar and will be the finale of a year of heated competition.

A f t e r defeat ing the Albion College net ters 5-2 and losing to Wayne University by the score of 7-2, the Flope tennis team entered the finals of the 1953 net campaign in Kala-

mazoo.

On May 21 the Dutch squad along

with the six other MIAA teams

opened play in the annual confer-

ence tennis tournament. In the op-

ening first round matches Warren

Exo opposed Bob Cosier, number

two man of the strong Kalamazoo

net team. In a terrific duel which

found Cosier coming from behind

and overcoming three match points

held by Exo, Exo was edged 3-6,

6-3, 7-5. Other first round matches

involving Hope players found Ron

Bos defeating John Fountain of

Adrian, John Schrier defeating

Norm Eifler of Albion in an all-im-

portant match, and Bill Boeskool

and Bill Coventry also a d d i n g

singles victories.

In the second, round of play

Schrier, Coventry and Bos met de-

feat while Boeskool advanced to

the quarter-finals before being de-

feated by Kalamazoo freshman

Dave Moran from Holland. In the

doubles competition, Exo and Bos

received a first round bye while

Boeskool and Coventry easily de-

feated Mellor and Reed of Olivet.

Second round competition ended the

doubles play for the Hope teams

as both duos met Kalamazoo en-

tries and were defeated. Exo and

Bos were beaten in three sets by

Glasser and De Vos of Kazoo, 6-3,

5-7, 6-2; and Coventry and Boe-

skool went down before Moran and

Cosier of K. College, 6-0, 6-1. Final point standings for the

of Mike Bramble with the lusty

a share of the MIAA diamond

crown with Hope, e d g i n g the

Dutch, 2-0. Willie Rink went the distance for Hope, giving up six hits and fanning four.

The Scots sewed up the game in the bottom half of the fourth. John Noud singled to left and advanced to second on Don Penner's sacri-fice. Bob Naru rapped out a sin-gle to left, sending Noud to third. Then Ken Stolz bounced out to second, Noud skirting home on the play. Rink fanned Jack Westerhof on three straight pitches to end the Scot threat .

In the eighth the Scots scored again. Mike Bramble singled to left and Richie Garret bunted him down to second. After "Lef ty" Gadzin-ski walked, John Noud cracked out his second single of the afternoon, sending Bramble home.

Hope returned to the victory trail the following day, stopping Grand Rapids Junior College, 4-2 behind the eight hit hurling of John Busman. Although shaky at times, John was untouchable in the clutch, fanning four and walking only one batsman.

The Hope College track team became the MIAA champion for the second year in a row by out-distancing a seven team field in the loop's annual field day at Angell Field, Kalama-zoo, on Friday af ternoon and evening, May 22. Victory was doubly sweet f o r Coach Lar ry Green's runners as the win this year virtually assured Hope of first place in the race for the conference's all-sports' t rophy.

from the position of champion which they had held every year since 1946. The point difference was only four counters as the Dutch sprang a big upset in battling the Britons all the way to eventually topping the scoring. But this year things were different as the Dutch pulled away to a big 18 point bulge in the afternoon's field events and literally won "going away" at night. Hope ended with 82 points to 62 for Albion.

Ron Bos was the individual s tar of the meet for Hope as he once again demonstrated that he is a true champion and repeated his victories of last year in the 100 and 220 yard dashes. Bos was clearly the class of the entire meet as he won both events with ridicu-lous ease. Running on a slow track, his time of 10.1 for the 100 tied the field record which he already shared, and his time of 22.0 in the 220 would have been even better if there had been anything even remotely resembling competi-tion for him.

Hope's big lead in field events was built up by virtue of Bob Hendrickson's first in the shot put with a toss of 42'6"; a third by Don Van Hoeven and a 5th by Don York in the javelin; two men, Wes Sikkema and Carl Van Farowe sharing in a six-way tie for 1st in the high jump in the afternoon's poorest performance at 5'6"; a sec-ond by Sikkema, a tie for 3rd by Don Polich and a tie for 5th by Rod Wissink in the pole vault; a surprising "grand slam" in the discus with John Brannock winning with a heave of 123'6", Ken Bau-man taking second and Frank Tala-rico a 5th; and victory by Walt VanderMeulen in the broad jump (his second year in a row) a t 20'9" with Talarico taking a 4th.

In the running events, the Orange and Blue picked up their points in addition to Bos' by Jesse King's 2nd in the mile and in the two-mile; Dave Hondorp's 2nd in the 440; Carl Van Farowe's 3rd and Don Brookstra's 5th in the 120 yard high hurdles; Carl Schroeder's 3rd and Byron Aldrich's 5th in the 880; another "grand slam" in the 220 yard low hurdles as Carl Van Far-owe picked up a 2nd, Jack De-Waard a 3rd and Dave Hondorp a 4th; and Hope's second place mile
