Dr. Wi l l iam J. Vander Lugt, Dean of the College

All - College Assembly To Be Held Next Week

Semester Leave of Abscence Granted Dr. Vander Lugt

At a pre-school meeting of the executive committee and the Board of Trustees of Hope College, a leave of absence was granted Dr. William J . Vander Lugt, dean of the College. The leave continues for the entire semester.

Dr. Vander Lugt came to Hope in the fall of 1954 as a professor of psychology. Arriving here f rom Pennsylvania Sta te University, he had previously t aught a t the Uni-versity of Michigan and a t Central in Pella, Iowa.

In June, 1955, Dr. Lubbers named Dr. Vander Lugt acting dean of the college. He now holds tha t position permanently.

A popular figure on campus, Dr. Vander Lugt last May received a honorary membership in the cam-pus Blue Key which is a National Honor Fra te rn i ty . He is also an honorary member of the Knicker-bocker Fra tern i ty .

Struck by an illness in July, Dr. Vander Lugt was unable to work until the end of August. He re-turned to his office for a few days, but he was then granted a leave of absence.

Now at the University of Mich-igan clinic in Ann Arbor, Dr. Van-derlugt is going through an exten-sive series of tes t s to diagnose his illness. To this date, no clue to the nature of the illness is known.

French Club Plans Season

The first regular meeting of the Hope College French Club, Le Cer-cle Francais, was held Monday evening a t the home of Miss Nella Meyer. The featured speaker fo r the evening was Mrs. Wendell Miles, a native of France, who with her daughter spent the past sum-mer at their home in Alsace.

The programs fo r the remainder of the meetings were also set up. The November meeting will be ar-ranged around the works of Moli-ere, and December will f ea ture a Christmas Vespers.

The January meeting will be in-formal with French conversation, games, and singing, and in Feb-ruary the club members will part i -cipate in French skits.

March will f ea tu re impressionist Art , and the April meeting will be centered around the products of France. The year will conclude with the annual picnic in May.

Membership in Le Cercle F ran -cais is open to all Intermediate and Advanced French students, and the meetings are conducted completely in French. Meetings are held the first Monday of each month, al ter-nat ing a t the homes of Miss Meyer and Mrs. Prins.

Sem Discusses Unification of Europe at IRC Conference

The first annual conference of Western Michigan Internat ional Relation Clubs was held on our campus last weekend. It began with an informal coffee hour at 2:30 in the Kletz. Approximately

students f rom other schools were registered. Those colleges which were represented were Oli-vet, Calvin and Albion.

At 4:15 Mr. Ragnar Sem gave a speech on "European Unification— The Role of Youth." Following his speech there was a planned panel discussion with one member f r o m each represented school. John An-gus, Hope's representative, acted as chairman. Mr. Sem acted on the panel also and questions were dir-ected to him.

The evening meeting was pre-ceded by a reception in Durfee lounge and a banquet in the Juli-ana Room with approximately eighty present.

Dr. Lubbers gave the invocation and Dr. Fried introduced the visit-ing schools and their faculty ad-visors and the guest speaker.

Mr. Sem commented on "Prog-ress in North Atlantic Coopera-tion and the Future of the Europ-ean Movement." His talk was a progress report on European Uni-fication. He told of the background of unification and the hope of the fu ture . He elaborated on such things as the European Coal and Steel Co. which is a supernational organization fo r common policy and common market. I t enables them to build up coal and steel in-dustries.

He spoke about the European Common Market which the French call the Free Trade Addict. Through this they hope to establish th is type of program and f r o m it they hope to establish a more vital and competitive economy, a common so-cial policy, a common labor marke t and, most important of all, a com-mon policy fo r helping the under-developed areas.

Meditation Chapel for Hope Under Discussion

A Meditation Chapel on Hope's campus is fas t becoming a reality.

A fund was set up fo r a chapel of this nature a few years ago by students in memory of Henry E. Schoone, professor of Greek and German, and husband of Mrs. Helen H. Schoon of our Education De-par tment and Reading Center di-rector.

The money placed in this fund when it was established was sup-plemented by churches and inter-ested persons in recent years. Last year twenty-five students partici-pated in a project to raise money for this in their home churches. This summer approximately fifty s tudents participated in this pro-ject to raise the balance of the money needed to complete the Meditation Chapel.

The contractor 's est imate f o r completing the chapel was $4,250. There is a possibility tha t the price has gone up somewhat since tha t time. Of course, certain furn-ishings were not included in his est imate. At this time, the fund stands a t approximately $3,000.

A tentat ive site fo r the chapel was Kollen dormitory but since seems to be an impossibility. A committee consisting of Ron Lok-horst, Wally Van Buren, Virginia Westra , Gerry Giordano, and Lor-e t ta Plassche has been organized to view and consider possible sites.

Dr. Fried Attends New York Workshop

Dr. Paul Fried, associate pro-fessor of history a t Hope, has been named a member of the Committee on Academic Policy Towards Edu-cational Travel of the Council on Student Travel. In this capacity. Dr. Fried will be chairman of a workshop session a t the 9th Annual Conference on Educational Travel at New York City, Oct. 22-24, 1958.

This conference will tackle such problems as East-West s tudent ex-change, sending high school stu-dents abroad, get t ing good pub-licity for educational travel pro-grams, rais ing funds fo r programs and scholarships and the f u t u r e of educational travel exchanges be-tween the Eas t and West. Dr. Fried will lead his group in dis-cussing how to inaugurate foreign study programs within the colleges.

Dr. Fried is well-qualified to be a member of the council. Two years ago he instituted the Hope College Vienna Summer School.

Dr. Fried stated, "I feel tha t this conference will be very worth-while and I am looking fo rward to it with much anticipation. I expect to learn much about improving our summer school set up, and I hope tha t others will be able to profit f rom my past experiences."

Ford to Speak Here Next Friday

The Honorable Gerald R. Ford, representing the 5th congressional district of Michigan in the United States House of Representatives, will speak to an all college assem-bly third hour next Friday, October 24, on the theme of the Theodore Roosevelt centennial observance, "Responsible Citizenship."

In speaking to us, Mr. Ford will follow the commission's purpose in recalling Theodore Roosevelt's dyn-amic Americanism and to make his spirit again a vital factor in Amer-ican life.

Next week marks the ending of the year-long centennial observance of the birth of Theodore Roosevelt. The twenty-sixth President was born in New York City on Oct. 27, 1858. The limelight caught him in his eearly twenties when, as a member of the New York State Assembly, he at t racted national at-tention, and it stayed with him un-til his death a t the age of 60.

During the intervening years he did just about everything that any aspiring American youth might, in his most fanciful moments, yearn to do. He rode the Western cattle ranges as a cowboy. He pursued bad men as a deputy sheriff in the Badlands, and law violators of every description as top cop of his home city.

He led a picturesque regiment up a Cuban hillside amid all the t rappings of romantic fiction. He hunted bears in Wyoming and lions in Africa, explored a hitherto un-known river in Brazil, went down in one of the first submarines and up in one of the first airplanes.

He wrote some two dozen books, and won authori tat ive recognition as a natural is t and a historian.

In politics, he beat the bosses at their own game, becoming first Governor of his s ta te and later the kind of President of the United States the American people idolize and historians never t ire of a rgu-ing about.

Hope College will join colleges all over the United States in ob-serving the Theodore Roosevelt Centennial. Fea tu r ing the displays on the College campus will be such topics as Roosevelt's interest in nature; Roosevelt as a hunter and explorer; Roosevelt as a writer and sportsman and also his major role in establishing an effective Civil Service Commission.

The History of Homecoming

by Sally Houtman Homecoming as we know it to-

day was first held on November 9, 1928. Previous to that time, the activity which corresponds most to Homecoming was the Armistice Day Celebration. The Freshman-Sophomore Pull, however, has been an annual event a t Hope College since 1905. But then, instead of pulling over the treacherous, swirl-ing ( ?) waters of Black River the teams held their tug-of-war over a ten foot wide creek jus t a few blocks f rom campus.

Hope Alumni f rom all over the United States ga ther in Holland to celebrate Homecoming. D o w n through the years many changes and additions have been made to the program but the general signi-ficance of the weekend remains the same for every re turning Alumnus. It provides an excellent opportun-ity to meet old fr iends, and wander around the college campus where they may have spent some of the best years of their lives.

In 1928, the first Homecoming was highlighted by the big parade on Friday, followed by a pep rally a t Riverview Park . The^football game on Saturday was preceded by another parade to the park. At this time the l i terary societies present on campus also entertained their visiting Alumni.

In 1933, the Frosh-Soph athletic fight and pull, were included in the Homecoming celebration on Thursday af ternoon, but the fol-lowing year were again held as a separate preciding event and not until 1945 did they become a reg-ular par t of the program. Since then the athletic fight between the two classes has been dropped, but the pull remains, although it has now been moved to a date pre-ceding Homecoming.

Various themes have been used throughout Homecoming festivities, including; An Application of Com-mercial Products to Homecoming, Magazine Titles, and one year it was based on comic characters. The year 1937 stands out for the fac t tha t Miss Mar jory Moody was named Hope's first Homecoming Queen, al though actual coronation ceremonies seem not to have ap-peared until a la ter date.

World War II a t tempted to in-ter rupt the scheme of things, but the Hope women wouldn't let it happen. In 1944, there was a drastic shortage of men on Hope's campus, but tradition prevailed as re turning alumni were greeted by a festive celebration, this year fea-tur ing two touch-football squads of Hope's coeds competing against each other.

In 1946 Homecoming was re-sumed in true pre-war style with the regular football game and f r a -ternity part ies held on Saturday, and the pep rally, and pull on Fr i -day af ternoon and evening. In 1948, it became traditional > f o r Palet te and Masque to present a Home-coming production. Also in 1948 the singles tennis tournament fo r the Duffield Wade Trophy was started.

Homecoming activities during the week-end have meant much to all who have participated, as it does to us now. Each year in the past has been a bigger and bet ter Homecoming. This year will be no exception.

Peter Dalrymple

From London to Holland

by Philip De Velder

Many of us, especially those who eat in one of the college dining halls, have probably noticed a well-dressed, ra ther youthful-looking person who seems to spend most of his time in or around the col-lege kitchens. We may say to our-selves—" Surely, he can't be a wait-er, as he does not wear the dark t rousers and white vest tha t we as-sociate with the waiters. Can he be a s tudent? That is hardly like-ly as none of us can remember ever s i t t ing next to him in the classroom. If he is a new profes-sor, why isn't he being discussed as all the new profs a r e? Jus t who is he t h e n ? " It is hoped tha t by the time you finish this, it will no longer be necessary to ask the question—who ?

The gentleman in question bears the impressive title of Associate Manager of the Slater Food Ser-vice. His name, in case you are wondering, is Mr. Peter Dalrymple, though it is understood tha t he has a nickname, which the author cannot a t this time remember.

I t is said tha t a true Londoner is born within the sound of the bells of St. Mary-Le-Bow Church. While I did not discover if this was t rue in Mr. Dalrymple's case, I did, in the course of our inter-view, establish tha t he was born and raised in tha t g rea t city.

Later on, he began to think of what he would like to do fo r a liv-ing, and he finally decided tha t he would like to become a hotel ex-ecutive. To study fo r this purpose, he entered the University of Lon-don, and took hotel management , graduat ing in 1953. While he was a t the university, he was employed par t t ime by the Savoy Hotel Com-pany, working at London's "Wal-dorf-Astoria," the Savoy. This ho-tel is rated as the International De Luxe Type in most of the travel guides to the British Isles. Upon finishing his course at the univer-sity, the company accepted him as a full-t ime employee. A f t e r work-ing a t the Savoy for a t ime, the company sent him to various coun-tries in continental Europe. He worked in hotels in Switzerland, Germany and France. On re turn-ing to London, he decided to come to the United States to look into the possibilities here. He arrived jus t a little under a year ago, and has been employed by the Slater Food Service fo r three weeks. He has a very charming wife, and a baby son who was born in this country.

which appeared in last week's Anchor.

by Carolyn Zhe

I t was a clear s u m m e r n igh t t h a t I stood on a hillside overlooking a small Turk i sh town and the ru ins of the once magnif ic ient t emple to Diana of the Ephes ians . The land was so quiet and peacefu l , posses-s ing an enchant ing qual i ty . My f r i ends and I watched the moon r i s ing over the nearby mounta ins and though t how like our exper-ience mus t be to m a n y shared by J e sus and his disciples, or by the Apost le Paul as he encouraged the ear ly Ephes ian Chr is t ians , pe rhaps on t h a t very spot! We had some fol lowers , small boys who were showing the typical E a s t e r n cur-iousity towards a n y t h i n g unusua l , and t r y i n g to sell old coins which they had found a m o n g the ruins . They all looked r a t h e r blank, and I wondered how men like the Apost le Paul could have come f r o m th is sor t of mater ia l ( f o r T a r s u s is in T u r k e y ) , when one b r igh t kid held out a coin, wrote a price on the ground, and won our h e a r t s wi th his en thus iasm. This revived my f a i t h in Turk i sh intell igence.

La t e r t h a t n igh t we walked back p a s t the low cement-covered stone houses, p a s t the open melon s t ands and on to our hotel.- In th i s p a r t of the world the people seemed to s t ay awake and lively until about

12 a t n ight . Aga in a t 6 in the morn ing we would awake to the sound of hoofs on the cobblestone s t ree t below. No, they weren ' t real ly t h a t ambit ious, they loafed

all a f t e rnoon!

Again near Ephesus , we took about a f i f teen mile hike up a hill to see the place considered by the Roman Church to be the dea th place of the Virg in Mary . There is a l i t t le stone chapel over the spot now, and a sp r i ng of "holy w a t e r " r u n s nearby. On the way up we passed a m a n coming down r id ing a donkey. His wife was t r o t t i n g a long behind, on foot . This is typical of the back vi l lages in Greece and Turkey .

We found the T u r k s qui te f r iendly . In one Turk i sh town a s tuden t who knew Engl ish invited us to his home, insis ted on giving us lunch, and showed us a round the town. We m e t like f r iendl i -ness everywhere. One of the o the r h igh l igh t s was being t aken to the n igh t camp of gypsy laborers on a tobacco field. They were s ing ing to the accompaniment of a c lar inet -like ins t rument and a drum, and

did a special dance f o r us. I t could have been any wild or backward people on any cont inent s ing ing and dancing t he r e by the flicker-ing lan tern l ight .

The people in the back vi l lages weren ' t much concerned as to our na t ional i ty , and were still less con-cerned about the revol t then going on in I raq , and o the r world af fa i rs . I s tanbul was more Westernized, but the t iny, d i r ty , back s t r ee t s and the city bazaar , consis t ing of booth-like shops, could not be found any-where in our W e s t e r n world.

One of the mos t impress ive th ings about I s tanbul was i ts m a n y Mosques. We all enjoyed the uniqueness of t ak ing off our shoes, then going into the in ter ior where men were s q u a t t i n g before the Koran and u t t e r i n g chan ts to Allah.

Upon leaving Is tanbul we took a boat across the Sea of M a r m a r a , then a bus. I shall never f o r g e t t h a t amaz ing bus ride. I t was very crowded, and so collapsible sea t s were pu t down the aisle. The next t h ing I knew the conductor, in bare , dust-covered feet , was clam-or ing over the a r m s of the sea t s to collect f a r e s . I t was hilly coun-t r y , and the vehicle had no brakes , so when the bus s topped the con-ductor had to j u m p out of the back door and pu t a block of wood under the back t i re . Before s t a r t -ing he would g r a b the block and we were off a g a i n !

This was all p a r t of a nine week t o u r f r o m London th rough Bel-g ium, France , Switzer land, Aus t r i a , Yugoslavia , and Greece to I s t an -bul. W e were impressed by the ha rd-work ing , p o o r Yugoslavs . We'll never f o r g e t the f a s t ta lk-ing we did to save our film f r o m two de termined Yugoslav police.

We came back by way of Athens , see ing the Acropolis and the ru ins a t Delphi, t hen went on by sea to Southern I ta ly . F rom the re we t ravel led up t h rough Naples and

Rome to Ge rmany and back to London.

Much more could be wr i t t en on our experiences, and on the bene-fits of such a t r ip . The f r iendl i -ness and aid given us has t r a n s -fo rmed theor ies and bel iefs of equal i ty and brotherhood into liv-ing fee l ings and unders tanding . This is a p a r t f r o m an un fo rge t t ab l e g e o g r a p h y lesson, more in te res t and unde r s t and ing of news, and of course the re was the exci tement of the d i f ferent and unusual .

Dr. Crook spends many hours work ing on cancer research. Much of the valuable equipment was made avai lable to him through grants.

Dr. Crook's Cancer Study Brings Added Prestige to Hope

"ARf YOO SURE THIS li MORE HEALTHrOU THAN CI&ARBJTES f"

One of the ha l lmarks of a large college or univers i ty a re the re-

searches t h a t a re carr ied on by var ious members of the teaching s taf f . Al though Hope may not fal l

into the ca tegory of a univers i ty , its p ro fe s so r s and ins t ruc tors also ca r ry on the scholarly t rad i t ion of research in one way or another . One such p ro fes so r is Dr. Crook of the biology depa r tmen t , who is do-ing vital research on cancer under the des ignat ion, "The Effec t of Mammal ian Hormones on Micro-o rgan i sms . "

Eve r since last sp r ing in t r igu ing c r a t e s and o ther oddments could be seen carr ied into the corr idors of the science building, under the wa tchfu l eyes of Dr. Crook and other members of the Biology De-

pa r tmen t . These c ra tes were the advance sh ipment of the equipment necessary f o r the c a r r y i n g out of Dr. Crook's research . More a re a r -r iv ing all t he t ime and we should not be surpr i sed if the whole third floor of the science building were soon covered with radioact ive t rac-ing machines and cul tures of Para-mecium and euglena.

Work ing under th ree g r a n t s . Dr. Crook, wi th the help of biology m a j o r Aus t in Aardema , is doing exact ly w h a t the t i t le of his re-searches s u g g e s t s : T r y i n g to dis-cover whe the r hormones, such as insulin, have any effect on uni-cel lular o rgan i sms and, if so, wha t th i s effect is.

The theory or assumpt ion t h a t Dr. Crook is working under is t ha t an individual, s e l f suppor t ing cell will show the same character is t ics and behave in the same m a n n e r as those cells which a re more highly specialized and mus t be dependent on o the r cells. T h a t th is a s sump-tion is probably a valid one has been born out in countless experi-ments .

Dr. Crook believes t h a t by intro-ducing cer ta in hormones direct ly into the metabol ism of a unicellu-lar o rgan i sm, the n a t u r e of the cell will be changed. W h e t h e r t h i s change will be a beneficial one or not is difficult to say, and f o r t h a t reason he is doing research into tha t branch of micro-biology.

To those of you who probably will d ismiss this exper iment as pu re research and of no pract ical value, i t m i g h t be well to say t h a t one of his g r a n t s is g iven by the Amer ican Cancer Society, which be-lieves t h a t th i s l ine of quest ion-ing m a y eventua l ly lead to some ins ight into the behavior and per-haps the eventual cure of cancer-ous cells. If t he r e sea rch of Dr . Crook shows definite and posit ive proof t h a t cells a re influenced ben-eficially by hormones , much can be done in f u r t h e r cancer research .

Dr . Crook has h igh hopes f o r the success of his expe r imen t s and says , "The possibil i t ies in th i s type of research a re endless and fasc in-a t i ng and I shouldn ' t be surpr i sed

Heavenly Sounds from Arthur, Louis, Steinway, and Steinway

by Jim Michmerhuizen

Forg ive me, dea r reader , f o r I am compil ing th i s column f r o m

the j acke t on a record called "Heavenly Sounds in Hi -F i " , on which duo-pianis t s F e r r a n t e and Teicher d i spor t themse lves in qui te jolly fash ion over such number s a s The Moon W a s Yellow, S ta rdus t , I 've Told Eve ry Li t t le S tar , etc., none of which will be heard a t the i r concert he re on the twen ty -first of th i s month . I g lean f r o m this j acke t the in fo rma t ion t h a t

A r t h u r F e r r a n t e and Louis Teicher have been p lay ing t o g e t h e r since they met a t Ju i l l i a rd when they

were six yea r s old, both being prodigies of a h igh order . Complet-ing the i r s tudies , t hey two were immedia te ly hired by the i r f o r m e r teachers to begin t each ing o ther prodigies.

"A t th i s point ," the j acke t says ,

" they discovered a new del ight by playing wi th dance bands on week-ends, supp lemen t ing t he i r incomes

and — more i m p o r t a n t — ga in ing a thorough u n d e r s t a n d i n g and ap-preciat ion of w h a t they consider to be a 'd is t inct p a r t of the Amer ican way of l i fe ' . "

The g is t of t h a t is t h a t we can expect someth ing alse besides or -thodox two-piano l i t e r a tu r e when

we hear them on the twenty- f i r s t . About the i r " p r e p a r e d p i a n o "

techniques not much can be said to those who have not ye t heard them. Some of i t is f a m i l i a r enough — tacks in the h a m m e r s of a piano

will make it sound like a ha rps i -chord; Calvin 's p e r f o r m a n c e las t March of the Sain t Mat thew Pas -sion utilized t h a t device—and some of it is unbelievable.

We m a y be sure of one th ing , however; t he mos t en joyab le con-cert of the whole '58- ,59 season may well be the first one of the series. F e r r a n t e and Teicher ' s ex-per imenta t ion wi th p repa red piano

sounds is in no sense a cover-up f o r poor technique or music ianship . One migh t a lmost be led to expect th is of a t e a m which is not

a shamed to p lay an occasional n igh t wi th a dance band or to make a recording such as the one I have in f r o n t of me now.

Our Hope Through the Years by Bet ty Vicha

In 1957 the Chicago Tribune con-

ducted a survey which named Hope

College as one of the top ten co-

educational liberal a r t s colleges in

the country . The same year the

Michigan legis la ture passed a reso-

lution commending Hope College

on her achievement . As any grow-

ing th ing, a college does not at

once en te r into a respected posi-

tion. It too has g rowing years and

growing pains. Wha t are the events t h a t lead to a college's suc-cess? Whose a r e the aspi ra t ions and ideals which fashion a college into what men consider successful ? What a re these aspi ra t ions and

ideals?

Hope College was founded be-cause of the ideals and asp i ra t ions of a band of imig ran t s f rom Rot-terdam who sailed fo r America on October 2, 1846. Headed by Rev. A. C. Van Raal te , these brave people made the i r way to Michigan to find a place where they could live and raise the i r children in ac-cordance with t he i r Chris t ian fa i th . By 1848 they had sett led in a choice location on the eas tern shore of Lake Michigan near Black Lake. Even a t t h a t ea r ly date , they were concerned wi th the education of thei r people and fe l t t ha t " the charac te r , outlook and prosper i ty

of a people are dependent upon its educat ion ."

And so plans were made to es-tabl ish a school. The General Synod of the Reformed Church, with which the se t t lers had aff i l ia ted, appointed Wal te r C. Taylor , an elder in the Reformed Church of Geneva, New York, to be in charge . Work on the Pioneer School began in 1851. The first repor t of the new school contained th i s s t a t e m e n t by Dr. Van Raalte, "This is my An-chor of Hope for this people in the fu tu r e . " He backed up his belief by giving live acres of land for use by the new school.

The people, too, had a g r e a t f a i th in the school they were establ ish-ing. F rom miles around men came to clear the land, goods were do-nated, everyone sacrificed some-th ing to help Dr. Van Raal te ' s Anchor of Hope to ge t s t a r t ed . For they had come to make a place in the New World fo r the i r children and they were wil l ing to sacrifice if need be in order to p repare them f o r high g rade Amer ican ci t izenship and the intel l igent de-ve lopment of Chr is t ian Charac te r . In the words of the i r courageous founder , "Les t th i s people sink into insignificance," "Les t our children become the t ag-end of society."

Beginning this a f t e rnoon is the inaugura t ion of academic home-coming. Centered* around the theme of "The Posit ion of the United S ta tes in the World Today", the p rogram opens a t 2:00 this a f te rnoon .

Continuing today and tomorrow. Academic Homecoming is the product of six months work. S tudents as well as alumni a re invited to sessions. To ga in admi t tance into a session it is necessary to regis te r at the a lumni office. Mrs. S t r y k e r will give each applicant a t icket of admission to the session.

The opening general session is th is a f te rnoon f rom 2:00 to 2:45 at the chapel. Pres id ing is Clyde H. Geerling who is general chair-man of the ent i re academic homecoming. Dr. Lubbers will welcome the alumni, and the music d e p a r t m e n t will provide app ropr i a t e music fo r the occasion. Dr. Hollandbach will introduce the theme.

Section meet ing begins a t 8:00 and go until 4:30. The a f t e rnoon sections include commerce and indust ry , religion, and music.

A f t e r a 6:00 dinner a t Durfee, Dr. Hessel Yntema will deliver the keynote address .

The conclusion of academic homecoming will be Sa tu rday morn ing when the final th ree section meet ings a re held f rom 9:00-10:30. The section meet ings a re science, education, and philosophy.

Commit tees working f o r academic homecoming have been under the cha i rmansh ip of Mr. Geerl ings and the honorary cha i rmansh ip of Max

Boersma. Dr. Hollenbach was theme-p rog ram cha i rman and Mr. Kleis of the Physics Depar tment served as a r r a n g e m e n t s cha i rman.

lacht niet ten s t a a r t e worde.) Their

goal was a Chr is t ian school.

The school headed by Wal te r

Taylor was called Holland Academy

and was housed in a building called

Van Vleck which had been built in

1854. In 1866 Hope College was

officially incorporated and tha t

yea r eight men comprised the first

g radua t ion class.

Rev. Philip Phelps D.D. was

elected the first pres ident and Hope

College, still closely connected to

the Academy, began its long years

of growing pains.

By 1867 the s tudents numbered

s ix ty-e ight and the campus con-

tained several o ther smal le r build-

ings, one of which was a log cabin

chapel which the s tudents them-

selves constructed.

Pioneers in every way, the found-

ers of Hope College were educators

of tha t t ime who recognized the

importance and need of h igher ed-

ucation fo r women. In con t ras t to

contemporary schools which were

aga ins t co-education, Hope in its

first yea r of existence declared:

"Highe r education fo r women

seems to provide the p roper medi-

um between the spir i t of oriental

barbar i sm which regards women as

fitted only to be paren t and house-

keeper, and the infidelity of wo-

men's r igh t s fa lse ly so-called." In

1878, the ninety-eight s tudents in-

cluded two women, Hope's first.

During tha t t ime the s t r u g g l i n g

school, a l though suppor ted by its

Chris t ian people, incurred many

debts, and the Synod decided to

draw up a new const i tut ion in order

to keep it f rom f u r t h e r debt.

Unlike many o ther church-rela ted

colleges, Hope did not sacrifice the

ma t t e r s of the spir i t as it delved

f u r t h e r into the m a t t e r s of the

mind. Ra the r it expanded in order

to contain equal shares of both.

Pe rhaps Hope 's success can be a t t r ibu ted to the completeness of the education which it offers . "To educate the whole of m a n f o r the whole of l i fe" is Hope 's purpose and as it recognizes the fu l lness of the spir i tual l i fe and necessi ty of the physical, and seeks to p repa re its s tudents f o r a g r e a t e r experi -ence in both.

A New Meditation Chapel In recent years there has been an increasing desire, and many

of us feel there has been an increasing need, fo r a meditation chapel somewhere on the campus of Hope College. And only during this last year have definite plans and possibilities begun to materialize.

Because of the spaciousness of the interior of our college chapel and the necessity to lock it each day a f t e r classes, the main auditorium proves very unsatisfactory fo r any personal prayer and meditation. Dormitories and f ra te rn i ty houses with all their general activity and noise give little opportunity fo r a s tudent to be alone either physically or mentally. Where then, can the s tudent go, in search of this solitude on campus?

This summer some students were asked to solicite funds for a new meditation chapel and an interested number of students responded with their ideas and help. With the help of these students money was obtained from various single donors and church organizations. The college itself donated a lump sum for the chapel and tenta t ive archi-tectural plans have been drawn up.

Suggestions have been made concerning the location of a medita-tion chapel and interested s tudents who are pushing this idea are seriously considering the ideas. The chapel must be a room located in another building, however, for it is impossible to find a suitable place fo r a new building on campus. Also there must be an accessible outside entrance to the room for one of the large buildings on campus could not be lef t entirely open day and night.

Because of this stipulation the two most feasible possibilities are a basement room in the back of the chapel, which has an outside entrance, or one of the basement rooms in Van Vleck Hall. Not only is there sentimental value in this oldest s t ructure of Hope College but Van Vleck Hall is centrally located on campus. Other possibilities are a basement room in Kollen Hall or possibly one in the new wo-men's dormitory which will be built in the fu ture . Unfor tunate ly , be-cause one of these dormitories is a men's hall and the other a women's hall a meditation chapel in one of these halls would be likely to end as a chapel fo r just men or jus t women because of the nature of the building in which the chapel would be situated. However, be-cause of the proximity of the room in Kollen Hall under consideration to the college radio station i t really must be disregarded as a choice.

This brings us to the present, today,—and you. We need your help and interest. Won't you a t least consider the possibility and advantage of a personal meditation chapel on Hope College's campus?

Inquiring Reporter

As the above ti t le suggests , this column will be concerned with s ta tements and fac t s gathered by one of those snooping bloodhounds who so make a farce out of pri-vacy. It is my job in this column, and I hope, others to uncover fac ts and to stimulate discussion about topics which concern the welfare and life of the students.

So much for the preamble! The rest of this article tends to be ra ther factual and to the point.

It is not generally known tha t people in the Reformed Church have been raising money for a "meditation chapel" on the Hope College campus. The purpose of this chapel is to provide a plac3 for personal meditation and com-munion with God. There is, how-ever, one thing tha t was neglected. Students were never asked for their opinions about the need for such a chapel. The Anchor, the official organ of the s tudents of Hope College, at tempted to correct this oversight by conducting a poll.

These are the results of our sur-vey:

Out of twenty people interviewed a t random in the Kletz: FOR: 3 AGAINST: 16 TOO SLEEPY TO A N S W E R : 1

We will not a t t empt to draw any positive conclusion f rom these fac ts for we think the fac t s speak for themselves.

Aside f rom comments about the s tudents being too busy to medi-tate, these answer were received from the people interviewed: "I do not think we need a meditation chapel because if we want to pray or jus t meditate we can go to the chapel or any of the countless churches in the Holland area ."

"Instead of spending a lot of money foolishly fo r something we don't need anyway, why don't the people whose idea this is donate tha t money for financially needy students ?"

"I believe tha t a meditation chapel is the very thing tha t this college is lacking and I believe it would add much to the religious life of the students ."

"Where would we put i t ? " "I think tha t the whole idea is

silly, Once the thing is put up it will just fall into disuse."

These are just some of the com-ments received and are, I think, a representat ive sampling of the opinion of the student body. How-ever, we cannot be sure and since you, the students, play such a large role in the eventual success of this project, we would like to have more of your opinions in let ters to the Anchor.

Alumni Homecoming — 1958 Version When the fall season approaches, the call to Alumni to re turn to

college usually means a week-end of football, food and fellowship, all wrapped up in the atmosphere of reminiscence. This year the Hope Homecoming call takes on a new note. In addition to all the appeals just mentioned there is a new one, so simple, so obvious tha t it is al-most embarrass ing to talk about it as an innovation. This year the Homecoming Committee has invited its alumni to re turn to their Alma Mater also to learn — to sit once more in the classroom and lecture hall and to part icipate in discussion on topics of significance and im-portance for the American adult in today's world. In other words the 1958 Hope Homecoming includes a day of mental stimulation at a series of sessions which we might call the first edition of an "Alumni College."

The idea of an academic conclave as par t of Homecoming grew out of a discussion among members of the executive committtee of the Alumni Association and staff members here at the college. It seemed to them ironic, the more they reflected, tha t here in the place where supposedly the mind's adventure is the central occupation, where, above all, the excitement of mind rubbing against mind, of new ideas launch-ed and attacked should be significant, we provide a t our major alumni gather ings little or no intellectual fireworks.

Out of this discussion came the idea, approved enthusiastically by students, faculty and key alumni, fo r a "Homecoming With a Differ-ence" this fall . Tha t is why, in addition to the traditional society luncheons, the parade, the football game and the Sunday Vesper, we are holding today and tomorrow morning a series of lectures, panels and discussions around the central topic, "The Position of the United States in the World Today."

This topic is of peculiar importance fo r every thinking American today. Not too long ago our Vice President met with a stony reception in South America. Recently the libraries of the United Sta tes Informa-tion Service in Lebanon were attacked, heralding the beginning of serious civil conflict in the Middle Eas te rn state supposedly most pro-American. Even more recently, Quemoy has brought us to a f u r t h e r agonizing reappraisal of our world position. For the past eight months, too, the American system of education, especially public elementary and secondary education, has been under serious question, and com-parisons with European and Russian education are many and o f t en un-flattering. What is the position of the United States of America at this point of world history ? This is a pert inent question then not only in terms of our economic, mili tary and political power, but in terms also of the cultural and scientific aspects of our own society. Around such issues the Alumni College sessions will center.

Elsewhere you have seen the names of those who are leading the discussions of the conference. They form quite a gallery of distin-guished American scholars — a n d importantly, too, of distinguished Hope Alumni. Their presence here on this occasion is an indication tha t Hope s tudents of the past have not pulled down a sheepskin curtain on learning a t the time of graduat ion, but have continued to study and grow a f t e r they le f t these halls.

Students and faculty are hosts to the alumni fo r the events of this weekend. As hosts, let us plan to meet our guests — not only a t the game but at some of the sessions of the academic conference.

Societies View Past Along With Present ALPHA GAMMA PHI Alpha Gamma Phi, the youngest sorority on campus, has been in

existence fo r only a year. In May, 1957, the need fo r a new sorority was recognized by the Pan-Hellenic Board. Twenty-four f reshmen ac-cepted bids and pitched right in on a job t ha t they knew would re-quire much but hoped would give many rewards.

That same spr ing a tea was given by Mrs. Lubbers to honor the new sorority. At t ha t time Diane Sluyter was elected as the first president, Marcia Baldwin, vice-president, Dorene Tornga, secretary, and Carol Rylance, t reasurer .

During the summer, round robins were circulated as all the girls worked on ideas fo r the crest, name, creed, prayer , pledge, song, and constitution for the new sorority. At a house par ty in the fall the ideas were all brought together. The pine tree was chosen as the central figure for the crest. Working from there, the colors green and gold were chosen, the pin designed, the Greek symbols fo r Alpha Gamma Phi accepted. The yellow carnation was chosen as the sorority flower and the constitution was approved. On November 8, Alpha-phi officially became a sorority. At the formal induction ceremony in the Jul iana Room, Jocelyn Fryling, president of the Pan-Hellenic Board initiated each member and presented the char ter to be signed.

Alpha-phi's first activity was a successful date night of bowling games in the Kletz, and "Fan tasy in Fros t " a t the Morton House was the theme of her formal . Her first informal, "Samoset ," was held a t Castle Park . In the spring Alpha-phi entertained the f reshmen with "The Greatest Show on Ear th . "

Although alumni are few. Alpha-phi will hold a Homecoming luncheon a t the E ten House Saturday. Carol Rylance is in charge of the get- together. Ruth Van Der Meulen and Judy Neinhuis are co-chairmen of the float. The theme is "His bark was worse than his bite."

Alpha-phi is now a year old. The first pledge class has been initiated. Members, new and old, are looking forward to another ex-citing and profitable year.

DELPHI The nine charter members of the Delta Phi Sorority met in October

of 1911 to organize a society which would be fo r "The l i terary and cultural development of its members". Delphi re fers to the oracle of Apollo, the Roman god of music and poetry. Through the years, the Delphi Phi society has diligently strived to uphold these ideals. The Delphi be-lieves in fr iendship, scholarship, laughter , honor, courtesy, character, and God as the grea t source of life and light.

The society grew in membership, and in 1916 there were thir ty-one members. Today Delphi has fifty-two members. They are sisters of the Phi Kappa Alpha f ra te rn i ty and each year, a joint meeting with their brothers is ful ly enjoyed.

In recent years the Delph Phi society has presented a fashion show in the spring of the year for the Freshman girls. There has also been a joint tea with the Sigma Sigma sorority. Throughout the year, the house parties, the initiation of the pledges, date night, the formal and the informal par ty br ings a g rea te r unity which binds all the members into one grea t sisterhood.

Last year, Delphi had the honor of winning the trophy for their homecoming float fo r the third consecutive year. Delphi also sang their hear ts and souls away to "Cindy" and became the victors of the women's division of the All College Sing.

The Delphi society holds high the ideal of the char ter members, music and poetry, the li terary and cultural development of each member.

DORIAN The Dorian Ladies say "Welcome" to all the visiting Hope alumni,

and remind former Dorians to come and visit the sorority room. The past two weeks have been busy ones. On Friday evening,

October 3, Formal Initiation was held in Durfee Terrace Room. Each new member was presented with a yellow rose and a copy of the creed in the very impressive candlelight ceremony. Punch and cookies were served.

At the previous meeting elections were held, and Nancy Raymer was elected sophomore representative to Pan-Hellenic Board, and Mari-lyn Ferris , sophomore representative fo r Student Council.

Blythefield Country Club, in Grand Rapids will be the scene of the formal on November 7. The formal is under the chairmanship of Ann Tell.

Last Friday evening in the Music Building Auditorium a joint meeting was held with the Emersonians. The theme of the meeting was "Moon Men and Maidens." The program opened with devotions by Diane Oldenburg and J e r r y Wondra. Carroll "Tex" Bennink was the Master of Ceremonies, wi th Gordon Stegink acting as song leader. The serious paper, entitled "Man on the Moon," was given by Carol Fischer, and the humor paper, "Litt le Red Riding Hood" was given by Louise Hunter , Doris Schmidt, Marilyn Campbell, Paul Buit, and Ron Lokhorst. Cider and donuts were served a t the close of the meeting.

The Dorians expressed pride t ha t their brothers had won the scholastic trophy.

The pledge class treated the juniors and seniors to b reakfas t in the sorority room Saturday morning a t 8:00 a.m. The menu consisted of juice, coffee and assorted sweet rolls.

The tradit ional Homecoming Breakfas t will be held a t Cumerfords tomorrow morning. Jane Anker is acting as chairman. The Dorians are looking forward to visiting with the fo rmer Dorians.

Shirley Doyle and Scotty Wallace are in charge of the float. A short business meeting will be held this evening a t 7:00 p.m.

Arcadian The Arcadian Fra tern i ty was

officially organized on October 11, 1946. The first active clan con-sisted of 24 men with Dr. E. E. Brand as f r a t e rn i ty advisor. The Greek name Chi Phi Sigma was chosen denoting service, love and wisdom. The f ra te rn i ty house, lo-cated next to the men's dormitory was acquired in 1951, the same year Mrs. Jeannet te Boskoel began her still continuing service to the f ra te rn i ty as house-mother. In its short but dynamic history the f r a t has made grea t str ides in its social, athletic and intellectual achieve-ments.

The Arcadian Homecoming Float this year will be a replica of the famous RCA Victor t rade mark. It will display the phonograph, and the dog listening to his master ' s voice. The dog will be done in black and yellow depicting Adrian. He will be listening to his master ' s voice coming f rom the phonograph. The RCA Victor title will present the thought : Rover Concedes An-other Victory.

Cosmopolitan

The Cosmopolitan Fra tern i ty was founded in 1890 by a group of freshmen. The Greek let ters given to the f ra te rn i ty were Phi Kappa Alpha. Phi stands for the Greek word, Philia which means fr iend? ship. Kappa fo r the word, Kinema meaning progress and Alpha fo r the word Alethea meaning t ru th .

The object of the f ra te rn i ty is to develop its members socially, intellectually and morally. The Friday night l i terary meetings offer intellectual stimulation in the form of the serious paper and en-ter ta inment in the humor paper.

The f r a t e rn i ty pin was adopted in 1922. The pin is a small shield superimposed over a large shield, and has a globe on it symbolizing the cosmopolitan out-look and the Greek letters. Phi Kappa Alpha. The la rger shield is topped by a knights helmet, the symbol of the f ra tern i ty .

The f ra t e rn i ty house is located at 47 Eas t Thir teenth Street. In the house the l i terary meetings are held and it also serves as a recrea-tional center of the active mem-bers. Here the men can watch television, play cards and ping-pong.

The inspiration for this year 's Cosmo entry in the Homecoming parade is the circus. Everyone has in his mind's memory album the vision of all the fun he had a t the circus. The float committee, Marty Elzinga, chairman; J im Combs, and J im Stringer, incorporated all the nice things of the circus and built their float around them. The body of the float is a three r ing circus under the big top. Under the can-vas peaks of the tent a re three acts. In the center is an "Adrian bull dog" jumping through a hoop, fo r a Hope College "Dutch". The whole float is being pulled by an elephant.

At the l i terary meeting of Octo-

ber 10, the speaker was Wallace

Gumner, the Superintendent of

Schools in Lowell, Michigan. Mr.

Gumner, was the second speaker

in a series of meetings in which

fo rmer Cosmos are giving papers

on their various professions. T^iese

men are invited to come in and

jus t "talk shop". Mr. Gumner told

of the various problems of his

office. The meeting was opened by

singing the Cosmopolitan Hymn

led by chorister, George Worden. Bill Jones the chaplain fo r the f r a t e rn i ty offered the opening prayer . The humor paper was given by Tom Aardema.

SIBYLLINE "Dog Daze" is the theme of the Sybilline Sorority homecoming

float which is under the capable direction of Carol Vander Meer and Ruth Mokma. The Sorority is looking forward to our homecoming luncheon to be held in the "Tulip Room" at the Warm Friend Tavern, and anticipate this time of fellowship with their alumnae. J a n Burg-wald is the homecoming luncheon chairman.

The 1958 pledge slave sale was held at the old Van Raalte 's Mansion on October 3. Informal initiation star ted Monday, October 6, and ended on Thursday when Formal Initiation was held a t 9:00 in the Music Building.

SOROSIS The Sorosis Society has the distinction of being the oldest sorority

on campus. It began in the year 1905 as an outgrowth of the Minerva Literary Society of what was then called Hope Academy. The officers which lead the group through tha t first memorable year were — Presi-dent, Elizabeth Grotemaat ; Vice President, Estelle Kollen; Secretary, Mina Coggeshall; and Treasurer , Anna Huizinga. The following year, 1906, the Society went through some reorganization and the May issue of the 1906 Anchor had this to say about the society — "Although the Sorosis is but a newly organized society, it is already s t rong and in a flourishing condition". Through competent leadership and enthusiastic members the society continued to flourish. Their motto was, and is today — "Strength and Honor" and the desire to make these ideals guiding s ta r t s in the development of character in her members.

The Fraternal Society being the oldest f ra tern i ty on campus and desiring to befriend the new Society, adopted the Sororities as their sisters, and this friendly status has been maintained ever since.

Through her long history Sorosis has acquired many wonderful traditions which are still upheld today. The yellow rose as a symbol of beauty to her members, the Sigma Sigma songs which tell of her fellowship and strivings, the friendship circle, the two Greek S's r ising out of the gold Cresent, the Annual Spaghett i dinner, the Fra te r -Sorosis meeting, the meeting with the Alumnae, and the tea honoring the housemothers.

The Sorosis Alumnae have always maintained a place in their hear ts for their Society. They have kept up interest in the active chapter and have carried on activities in their own group. The active society is very for tunate in having such a s trong and helpful Alumnae group. This summer the Alumnae sponsored Benefit Desert Par t ies in various par ts of the United States in order to raise funds to complete the furnishing of the room in Voorhees in an Ear ly American motif . Sorosites a f t e r leaving Hope have gone out in various walks of life — and yet they remain ever near to "the cresent banner" and "the s ta r of Hope".

About 60 Alumnae will be present a t the Homecoming Luncheon to be held tomorrow noon at Cumerford's . Plans fo r the luncheon have been headed by Helen Wade. President Joan Peelen will preside a t the meeting and will introduce the other officers. Vice President, Shirley Meiste; Secretary, Ann De Pree; and Treasurer , Marcia Wier-sma. Joan will also introduce to the group the new sophomore members tha t have joined the society, and in addition the new t r ans fe r members Karen Abell, Florida; Lenora Kettwick, Iowa; and Carol Thompson, New York. The Alumnae President, Mrs. Harvey Koop will also speak and introduce the other Alumnae officers — Vice President, Mrs. Irv Vrieling; Secretary, Mrs. Daniel Paul; and Treasurer , Miss Natile Bosman who is presently teaching in Saudi, Arabia.

The Sorosites have been ably lead in construction their homecoming float by co-chairman Ardith Brower and Sue Walcott. The Society will be preseting a replica of an antique steam engine and hope tha t every-one will be able to stay following the game — "Remember when Hope Railroaded Adrian —1958!" Working as chairman of the various float committees have been Judy Tysse, Evy Hollander, Phyll Welch, Bar-bara Bootsman, Joy Phillip, and Marcia Wiersma..

Fra ternal In January 1834, the Fra ternal

Society was established a t Union College in Schenectady, New York, with a membership of nine. The Fra ternal Society grew and pros-pered in its years a t Union College.

On January 4, 1864, the Fra ter -nity moved from Union College to Holland Academy through the ef-for t s of one of its alumni. It was then tha t the motto, "Few and Chosen", the constitution, and the watchwords of friendship, love and t ru th were originated.

From those days Fra ternal has prospered and grown. I t did not grow without the expected grow-

ing pains and at t imes its mere existence was challanged, but the men of Fra ternal have held to-gether and developed into a closely knit organization and have matured on the watchwords, "Friendship, Love and Truth.

The Fraternal Society was the first f ra te rn i ty on Hope College's campus. Fra ternal ' s alumni num-ber in the thousands and have al-ways been close to the f ra te rn i ty , never losing the Fra terna l Spirit .

This year the theme of the parade being "Our Fight ing Dutch-men" the Fra te r s have decided to have fo r their float a boxing r ing

Knickerbocker In the early days of Hope Col-

lege, the high school or prep school here in Holland was of great im-portance to Hope, for two-thirds of each f reshman class came from the prep school and was therefore already acquainted. The Senior Class of 1909 was especially close-knit. Some of the fellows often met for the so-called bull sessions in the northwest corner on the first floor of Van Vleck; this of course was when Van Vleck was the men's dorm. Some of these men had been asked to join one or the other of the two f ra tern i t ies then on Hope's Campus, the Fraternal or the Cos-mopolitan. However, it was im-possible fo r these two f ra tern i t ies to offer membership to all the men. As a result of this situation and because of the strong fr iendship existing among non-fraterni ty men at Van Vleck, they decided to work together, and for each other, to find a new f ra tern i ty . This was the beginning of Knickerbocker.

From the 12 original members Knickerbocker grew and prospered rapidly and had become significant to life a t Hope when the first World War took its toll and the membership was reduced to seven. But Knickerbocker survived by the same determination tha t its mem-bers were to show a quar ter cen-tury later during another world turmoil.

We can be proud of the spirit in which Knickerbocker was begun, We can be proud of the high es-teem which it has earned. Knicker-bocker has always held t rue to its Greek let ters Kappa Eta Nu—High standing socially, morally and in-tellectually.

The 1958 K.H.N. Homecoming float committee is headed by Paul Fell and aided by Bruce Crawford, Peter Beitner, Gary Bylsma, Gene Barnhart and Ken Brown. The Knickerbocker theme will be "Add Another Jewel to Our Crown". The float will consist of a high crown studded with 13 jewels, each jewel representing a previous victory over Adrian. In the center of the crown there will be an extra large jewel . represent ing a victory fo r

One such experience was tha t of traveling to the Midwest. This was entirely new fo r Mrs. Markert , as she reports tha t previously she had never been west of Buffalo, New York. Also, this is the first time tha t Mrs. Markert has ever made her home outside of Amsterdam.

In conversing with Mrs. Markert, one discovers tha t she has a very warm and pleasing personality. Her friendliness is instantly notice-able. And, it is exactly this at t i tude of friendliness which prevails on Hope's campus that thrills Mrs. Markert. "I had heard so much about it ," Mrs. Markert said, "but to really experience it is just so wonderful ."

Most of Mrs. Markert ' s day is spent in carrying out her new duties as house-mother. She also finds time each day to walk around campus, becoming acquainted with the buildings on campus, the vari-ous personalities engaged in camp-us activities, and the city of Hol-land.

In Amsterdam, Mrs. Marker t was very active in church work. She is a member of Trinity Reformed Church where she was active in the various organizations and also taught Sunday School. She is a member of the Dept. of Women's Work in the Reformed Church of America and an officer of the Missionary Union, Classis of Mont-gomery. She also served as president of the United Church Women of Amsterdam, the Wo-men's League fo r Service and gave volunteer work to several charit-able organizations.

Emersonian Emersonian has a history and

tradition of which it can well be proud. I t began in 1919 as a liter-a ry society which was changed officially into a f ra te rn i ty in 1929. The new and vital group was watched with interest by college officials a s we grew and expanded in size and character.

Our meetings were held in rented rooms the first few years. As our activities increased we found tha t by leasing houses f r a t e rn i ty life better fulfilled the needs of our members and was made more meaningful to them. 1937 is in-deed a g rea t landmark in our his-tory when we acquired a lease on the beautiful Beach Residence on 12th Street and Columbia Avenue. The 29 room house was situated on a two and onehalf acre lot, covered with evergreens, rose and grape arbors, and a spacious green lawn. The Emersonian Alumni As-sociation bought this house in the beginning of World W a r II, i t was leased to the a rmy during the war years, and finally sold to the col-

Library Increases Service to Students

by Sally Evans This year there have been sev-

eral changes in the Hope College library. Firs t and foremost is the new schedule of hours. The library is now open regularly every week day f rom 8:15 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. and from 6:45 p.m. to 9:45 p.m. On Saturdays the schedule is f rom 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon and f rom 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. I t is closed fo r all holidays, special programs, and college assemblies.

In relation to access to the open stacks, the library must enforce the rule of leaving all personal books outside and not allowing any brief cases or zipper note books inside. All available space in the steel stacks, which were purchased in 1950 and hold 55,000 books, is now being ful ly used. Desks and chairs are provided in the stack room for those wishing to use the books there.

For outside use, books may be borrowed for two weeks, with one renewal. Renewals may be made in person or by telephone, without bringing in a book. Notices of over-due books will be sent out four days a f t e r a book is due.

Books on closed reserve may be obtained a t the desk. These are the books placed on reserve by the faculty fo r required reading.

The reference collection is lo-cated in the reading room and is not circulated. The periodical col-lection consists of some 5,000 bound volumes and is located in the main library. Indexes to the contents of periodicals in the read-ing room are located on tables in

lege — thus establishing the Emer-sonian Memorial Fund. Emersonian remained in this location until 1954 when the house was razed to make way for Kollen Hall. Emersonians new reside at 50 Eas t 10th Street.

Immediately preceding the war Emersonian was by f a r the most powerful and influential campus organization with its 82 members. The whole f ra te rn i ty was inactive during most of the war years, but in 1946 as Emersonians returned to campus our active membership grew.

The successes and fai lures of Emersonian would make a long list, fo r our life has indeed been event-ful . But what held t rue over the years still holds t rue today — tha t Emersonian men le f t Hope College a more firmly established school, and lef t Hope College as men tha t will always cherish the ideals of Phi Tau Nu, Love, Honor, Freedom and Success.

The Emmie's float theme is "Anchor the Bulldogs". This will be accomplished by two bulldogs impaled upon an anchor swinging f rom a goalpost, symbolizing Hope pinning down the Adrian football team. The chairman of the float committee is John Jefferies and he is assisted by Ron Bekius, Cal Bosman, Wayne Joosse and Dale Heeres.

At a joint l i terary meeting held Friday, October 10, in the music building auditorium, the Emerson-ians and their sisters, the Dorians enjoyed the program, "Moon, Men and Maidens". Co-chairman were the two vice-presidents of the so-cieties, Ann Tell and Greg Bryson, aided by Sharon Smith and Dale Heeres. Carroll "Tex" Bennink acted as master of Ceremonies. The program was as follows, Devotions —Jer ry Wondra and Diane Olden-burg. Roll Call—Wayne Josse and Carol Paton. Serious paper—Carol Fischer, "Men and the Moon" Humor Paper—"Lit t le Red Riding Hood", Duet—Jerry and J im Hes-selink, Emersonian Hymn, and Dorian Song. Cider and donuts were served following the meeting.

WTAS Hope College Radio Kollen Hall

HOLLAND, MICHIGAN W T A S is the campus radio

station. Since its beginning as a tape recorder and a weak t rans-mitter , WTAS has developed into a station with equipment similar to tha t used in commercial stations.

WTAS, the Anchor station, offers a wide var ie ty of programs for your listening pleasure. With the aid of a staff of more than fifty announcers, engineers and disc 'ockeys, programs centered around music are presented everyday of the week. The records played are

the center of the room. Pamphlets may be found in the gray steel filing cabinets in the reading room. Some pamphlet series are shelved in the catalogue alcove.

Special services this year include a reference librarian, who will give assistance in finding information; an inter-l ibrary loan system, a microfilm reader and microfilms of the New York Times. Also avail-able for use are special collections of books and publications.

An added at t ract ion is the new book display located in the cata-logue alcove. Here a student or professor is able to sit while browsing.

Last year approximately 27,000 books were used by 1,000 students. This was an increase of 5,000 over any previous figure. The students are no longer depending on only a few books f o r extra reading. They are going into the s tacks seeking additional reading. According to Mrs. Singleton, head librarian, " the facul ty members must have done a wonderful job of s t imulat ing and inspiring more and more s tudents to read more and more books."

Jone Kloossen, President of YWCA

The Cabinet There has been some question

as to the purpose of the YMCA-YWCA Cabinet and its duties. Each member on Cabinet has a specific task to perform through-out the year besides at tending the Cabinet meeting. However, at these meetings, the members present their problems which are then dis-cussed by all. These Cabinet repre-sentatives are selected by the Exe-cutive Committee to represent the members of Y. If anyone has a problem and would like to attend a Cabinet meeting, he is cor-dially invited. Each Cabinet meet-ing is opened with devotions.

Years Program Outlined

President John Hood of the YM-CA-YWCA has announced the theme for this year's "Y" work as "The Challenge of a Christian Life." In keeping with this year 's theme, the " Y " opened the school year with the traditional Fresh-man beach party, held in Carnegie Gymnasium and Vespers, held in the Pine Grove.

President Hood went on to say that the Tuesday night meetings this year will be more varied and interesting. The "Y" will a t tempt to reach out into all aspects of life and bring students a vital, everyday Christianity .

Some top speakers have been scheduled for these " Y " meetings. Rev. Harold Englund of Midland Reformed Church addressed the group at the fall banquet, and other noteworthy men are lined up for the f u t u r e : Dr. Elton True-blood (October 21), Rev. Donald Butpne, Dr. George Buttrick and Mr. Hobert Mitchel.

Deputation Deputation is a committee in the

"Y" appointed to put on programs

for Sunday evenings, youth groups,

and couples clubs. In charge of this

committee are Ronald Lockhorst

and Marilyn Scudder.

There are usually five people on

a deputation team. One person

usually speaks on Hope College

and another on a Christian topic.

There is usually a solo or a group

to offer some type of special music.

One person leads the devotions,

scripture and prayer and another

plays the piano or organ. Usually

one of the speakers takes charge

of the program.

Social Activities

Planning social and recreational activities are the purpose of the Social Activities Commission. Serv-ing as the officers are J im String-er, Chairman; Nancy Mulder and Adena Yonan, Publicity; Jack Zell-weger, Secretary; and Miss M. L. Bried f rom the Physical Education department is serving as advisor.

The Social Activities Commission plans to sponsor several Tuesday night "Y" programs in addition to the meetings of the commission it-self. The program will be of social or recreational nature such as splash part ies or mixed volleyball.

In addition to the Tuesday night programs the commission will sponsor several movies on week-end nights and a ski t r ip to Northern Michigan between semesters.

Tuesday night is "Y" night! . . . Pie night means "Y" night! . . . Another Tuesday is here again! Time for another "Y" lecture . . . and so goes the conversation about "Y" night on Hope's campus. But, is that really all "Y" is? Is it only a Tuesday night affair tha t just comes naturally ? The student "Y" organization is one of the most meaningful and yet misunderstood groups on campus. Yet, "Y" is an organization for all of us.

What really is the Young Men and Young Women's Christian Association? It is an international Christian student movement, one of the greates t of its kind in the world. The "Y" is active on over 600 college campuses in the United States alone.

At Hope the "Y" a t tempts to show the s tudent how his faith should relate to everyday life. It 's program is designed to "Make Christ King of the Campus."

For the first time Hope's YMCA and YWCA have officially united under one constitution forming a joint organization. The new cabinet met together last spring fully realizing that Hope's enrollment is expanding. A new program was planned to meet the needs of the student body. Thus, they originated the "commission" program of "Y".

The commissions are special interest groups, centering around the three par ts of the "Y" Triangle — Body, Mind, and Spirit. The Social Activities, Social Responsibilities, and Christian Fai th Commissions now enable more s tudents to get field actual experience in their chosen area.

The governing body of the YMCA-YWCA is the 24 member student cabinet, assisted by co-advisors, Miss^Holleman and Dr. De Haan. A program committee meets weekly with the commission chairmen to plan programs. But, behind these commissions is the most important part of "Y" — the students.

/

Port of the Y program is devoted to the religious side of l i fe. In a quiet atmosphere, a Hope woman pauses for meditat ion.

Social Responsibilities

"To develop a fuller Christian personality through an awareness of the needs of others by giving of time and ta lent" is the aim of the Social Responsibilities Commission. Serving as officers of the commis-sion are Judy Van Leeuwen, Chair-man; Sue Kirkwood, Secretary; Gom Bruno, Publicity; and Mr. Ver Beek of the Education department is serving as advisor.

Some of the possible service pro-jects under consideration:

1. A Chicago Work week-end in which students will paint, remodel and clean homes in the slum area.

2. Sending Christmas baskets with food and clothing to a few needy families in town.

3. To visit Pine Rest Mental Hos-pital or any other type of hospital

Hope Beats Kazoo For Fourth Straight; Ties With Dales For M1AA Lead

o

Meet The Dutch

Gene Van Don gen—Center Gene is a junior jus t over 6 feet

and t ips the scales a t 195 pounds. Offensively, he is quick off the mark and hard hitt ing in execut-ing his blocks. Defensively he is hard to fool and tackles fiercely. He was put out of action by a knee injury in the opening game with Eastern but is now ready and full of zeal to make up fo r lost time.

George Peelen—Tackle George is an aggressive tackle

and a real t e r ro r to enemy passers. He is from Kalamazoo, Michigan and is a junior. He is an all-round player with no discernible weak-ness. He stands six feet two, weighs 200 pounds and applies all of this to the business a t hand when he blocks and tackles.

i i

James DeWitt—Tackle "Tiger" as he is called by his

teammates comes to us f r o m Mus-kegon, Michigan. He is a senior, six fee t one and weights 185 lbs. Hav-ing no high school football experi-ence, Tiger has worked his way up to number one line replacement through determination and steady development. He is powerful , com-bative and well schooled. He charg-es fiercely when he plays in the line and blocks well. His presence is a boon to the team.

Hope's football team moved to a first place tie with Hillsdale in the MIAA race following its 27-0 win oover Kalamazoo College before 1,700 Homecoming fans in Kalama-zoo last Saturday.

The Dutch and the Dales each have 2-0 MIAA records. Hillsdale seeking its fifth s t ra ight champion-ship stopped Albion 20-13 Satur-day. Hope has a 4-0 overall mark.

Hope struck early against the Hornets and built up a 20-0 half-time lead in shut t ing out the Hor-nets fo r the second s t ra igh t year.

Three minutes a f t e r the s ta r t of the game, Hope had its first touch-down. Mike Blough recovered a Kalamazoo unsuccessful punt at-tempt on the one yard line. Two plays la ter halfback Duane Voskuil knifed off tackle fo r the score. Bill Huibregtse converted.

Midway in the second quar ter halfback Pete Wat t returned a Kal-amazoo punt f rom his own 37 to the Hornets 46. A f t e r a series of plays quar te r back Paul Mack hit Wat t with a six yard pass fo r the TD. Huibregtse 's kick was wide.

A f t e r a pass interception by Jim Mohr and a 15 yard pass f rom Mack to end Ron Bronson, Pete Wat t scored his second touchdown of the game, on a one yard plunge. Huibregtse converted.

Hope failed to score in the third quar ter , but held Kalamazoo score-less also with some terrific defen-sive work. •

Ear ly in the four th quar te r Huib-regtse grabbed a Kalamazoo pass and moved to the Hornets twenty-eight. Six plays la ter Ron Bekius crashed off tackle f rom the fou r to score. Huibregtse 's conversion was good.

The Hornets penetrated Hope ter r i tory only three times in the game. This f ac t plus five inter-cepted passes speak well for the Hope defensive unit.

Coach Russ De Vette again emp-tied his bench and used forty-one players.

Hope doubled the yards gained by Kalamazoo in the contest two hundred for ty- two to one hundred twenty. Most of Hope's s t rength came in its rushing game whera Hope picked up one hundred nine-ty-nine yards.
