Druckenmiller In Initial Appearance Tonight As Orchestra Begins Season

The Hope College Orchestra under the direction of William Druckenmiller will hold its opening concert this evening at 8:30 P.M. in Hope Memorial Chapel.

The orchestra made up of 60 members has been rehearsing regularly since the beginning of the year. Their present conductor, Mr. William Druckenmiller, f rom Reading, Penn-sylvania, came to Hope this year as instructor of music and has taken over the responsibility of conducting the college orchestra, band and teaching instrumental music during the absence of Morrette L. Rider who has been granted a leave of absence to continue work on his doctorate at Columbia University this year.

Druckenmiller came to Hope wi th 1 a wealth of musical experience which includes a r ranging , scoring and conducting orchestral music. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in 1948 f rom the Jul l iard School of Music in New York City where he majored in flute, minoring in piano and composition. He re-ceived his Master of Ar t s f rom Columbia University in 1949. He al-so at tended Vanderbilt University and Albright College w h e r e he majored in violin. He is a member of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia and Pi Kappa Lambda, national honorary music f ra te rn i t i es . He is also a member of the American Federa-t on of Musicians, the Music Edu-cators Association and the Iowa Uandmasters Association.

The program consists of s i x numbers the f i rs t of which is "F in-landia" by Sibelius and includes an organ accompaniment by Gladys Keiser. For the second number the orches t ra will play the f i r s t move-ment Intrduzione; Allegro Vivace f rom the Symphony in D by d e -menti . This work, the second of four symphonies by the composer, received its American premiere by the Boston Symphony Orchestra under Kussevitzky, Dec. 4, 1936. Notable are its cont ras t ing themes of ry thmic gaiety and of rolling elegance. The following selection will be the Choral Prelude " 0 God, Thou Holiest", by Brahms-Leins-dorf.

A f t e r a brief intermission the Hope College Woodwind Quintet will play the Bainbridge Island Sketches by E. H. McKay. These sketches include "The Old Sailor, The Swing, At Sunset, Nocturne, and the Woodland Pipers. T h e Woodwind Quintet making its f i r s t performance includes Ruth Druken-miller on the flute, Carl Kleis on the oboe, Richard Zeidler on the clarinet , Kaye Don Hoogerhyde on the horn and James Bennett on the bassoon.

The orchestra will conclude the concert by playing "Wedding Day at Troldhaugen, Op. G5, No. G by Grieg and a Wal tz—Art is t s ' Life by Johann Strauss .

Draft Potent ia l s— Take Note

Proposals Given For Selective Service By Education Council

Tlie American Council on Education's Committee on the Relationships of Higher Education to the Federal Govern-ment, at its October meeting devoted considerable time to a discussion of present and proposed Selective Service defer-ment policies for college and university students. The com-mittee feels that if all acceptable men are to be called immediately upon reaching draft eligible age, the nation will be faced with drastic shortages of educated manpower f a r more serious than those during World W a r II. Discussions withi the commit tee made it quite cle^r tha t educators in general recogni the fac t tha t no one acceptable f o r mili tary duty is going to avoid service, but a f i rm opinion exis ts tha t not all need enter service im-mediately upon reaching the mini-mum eligible age. With this in mind, the committee unanimously approved the following resolution which would provide a deferment policy within the f ramework of the present Selective Service Law and could serve as a basis f o r defer -ment provisions in any revised legislation t h a t may come up f o r consideration by the Congress :

"Whereas the mil i tary security of the United S ta tes res t s upon i t s scientific, industrial , and intellect-ual advancement as well as upon its combat manpower; and where-as many men can render more serv-ice in the armed forces a f t e r the i r college t ra in ing than before; and whereas the mil i tary forces will re-quire t ra ined medical and other ex-per ts a f t e r college and univers i ty education and it would be u n f a i r to d r a f t such men twice, once be-fore college and again a f t e r com-pletion of professional t r a in ing ;

Therefore be it resolved t h a t : At age eighteen, all men regis ter ,

be given the i r pre-induction physi-cal examinat ions , be examined by means of a nationally adminis tered test to determine their apt i tude f o r education and t ra in ing, and be classified as physically f i t or un f i t , as eligible or ineligible, f o r college t ra in ing before mil i tary service. (Sugges t ion: the equivalent of t he Army General Classification Tes t score of 110 be the nat ional cu t t ing score.)

On the basis of nat ional ly deter-mined s ta te quotas, eligible men

P R I N T E D AT OLD N E W S P R I N T E R Y

Appreciat ive But Realistic The College administration, like all college administrations,

absorbs its share of general and specific criticism from the student body, which like all student bodies enjoys exercising the privilege. Yet, if the administration is to be held respon-sible for conditions of discontent, it should be held equally responsible for the more salubrious situations which exist on campus.

For example, tha t an international atmosphere exists here at Hope College has been often affirmed but little considered. It is not accident that so many different nationalities, cul-tures, and ethnic groups are represented on campus. The administrative policy of encouraging this is to be commended, for a pot pourri of social and personal psychologies such as exists under these circumstances invites conflict situations which must be risked before the benefits of a cosmopolitan atmosphere can be realized.

Among the more evident advantages which this atmos-phere provides is the establishment of a common f rame of reference within which misconceptions may be exposed and misunderstandings reconciled. The informative letter, writ-ten by one of our fellow students f rom Arabia, which ap-peared in the last issue of the ANCHOR is an excellent illus-tration of this. The letter was as illuminating as an entire ccurse in Near Eastern history, and much more effective.

An international representation on campus also provides for v s^undino; board of international opinion. Most Ameri-c m s are. or should be. aware of our insecure position in the affections of the world, but we are often at a loss to explain it, convinced as we are of our basic self-righteousness. Ac-cording to several of the foreign students here, it is not jealousy which accounts for this estrangement, nor is it fear or distrust , but the opposite — the feeling that the United States has become weak and gullible. We don't advocate a completely new foreign policy merely as a bid for world re-spect, but we do feel that it is important to be aware of the precariousness of our international prestige.

A final consideration is the amazing adaptability of the human spirit which a completely new psychological atmos-phere demands. It is unfortunately true tha t difficulties in adjustment do occur in some of our foreign students with respect to theirnew social and behavioral environment, but that these few remain in the minority is a significant com-mentary on the rugged elasticity of the human constitution. As citizens-at-home on this campus, let's do our best to make the initial accommodating process as painless as possible, but let's also be firm and realistic with those who are primarily concerned with trying to adjus t us to suit them.

Other People Are Christians! Very of ten on Hope's Campus, we run into the phrase "full

time Christian service." This phrase is used mainly to refer to that group of young people who are to become ministers, missionaries, directors of religious education and others whose lives are to be directed ipto other forms of church work. Is it r ight to single out these people as the only ones who are going to lead Christian lives? Jus t because the church is the one who pays their salaries, are they the only ones who are in the service of the Church?

It would seem that the lives of every person, who professes to be a Christian, should be lives of full time Christian serv-ice. Every Christian's service is supposed to be full time, whether he is a dentist, physician, grocer, salesman, bus driver, or she is a housewife, secretary or whatnot. If a per-son can't go into these occupations with a sense of God's direction, then, as a Christian, he has no right to go into them at all. Furthermore, he must see in his vocation a primary responsibility as a Christian, without feeling that he must run away to do so much "church work" to make up for not having done what he secretly feels the Lord really wanted him to do.

The continuing call to enter church vocations — that is the better term — must be constantly pressed, but we do not help the cause when we hold up these vocations as the only forms of Christian service.

Well, hello! You all survived

Tom Turkey and the c ranber ry sauce, I sea! Congra tu l a t ions on winning the annual bat t le of the bulges! Or did y o u ?

We have some business th is is-sue. We received a communicado f rom a gen t l eman named Fred Gar-

ner, the cha i rman of the Intercol-legiate Music Commit tee . He and his associa tes would like to s t a r t a magaz ine of music which would be s t r ic t ly f o r the college s tudents .

This magaz ine would include all types of musical news f r o m Illi-

nois J acque t to the New York Phil-harmonic concerts . I th ink this

would be a good idea, but I 'd like to ask you wha t you think about it. A f t e r all, it would be your mag-azine — you would buy and read

it. I t s success or fa i lu re would depend ent i re ly on you. Won ' t you let us know ei ther by word or le t ter

what you think of such an idea? We'd be very glad to give you any

f u r t h e r in format ion you migh t de-sire on the subject , too. Boxie and I feel i t 's wha t ha s been needed

music-wise on Amer ican campuses LOT a long t ime. You can ge t a

g r e a t deal out of read ing E tude , or Metronome (if you can find one a round here! ) , but how can you

keep in touch wi th the musical a f -f a i r s and t r ends on other campuses without some m e a n s of communi-

cation between you and t h e m ?

My gracious , we have waxed elo-quent , haven ' t w e ? Enough of the

pep ta lk, and down to the musical notes and keys on this most impor-tant of all campuses . The Tuesday

before vacat ion (1 think it was the 21st, but I 'm not quite su re ! ) ,

we had a very nice t r ea t . The Madr iga l S inger s s a n . two very

well-executed numbers . One of chem — Jesu , Joy of Man's Desir-

ing — was s u n g with an oboe accompaniment by Carl Kleis. I think Miss Hol leman, of t he music

depa r tmen t , should be congra tu -lated on the fine job she has done to br ing to our a t t en t ion a type of

music with which most of us a r e none too f ami l i a r . Madr igals a r e

a musical f o r m which has de-scended to us f r o m England ' s ear l ier days. They a re pa r t of our

musical he r i t age , and as such, we should become be t te r acquainted with them.

One of the blessings available to Hope s tuden t s is t he Tuesday as-

semblies which the s tudent council p resen ts to us a lmos t every week, t h e last one was especially enjoy-able since it w a s concerned with one of my (and most people's) f a -

vorite I 'ght o p e r a s , "Blossom r i m e . " Miss Olive O'Neill 's rendi-;ion of selections f rom this g rea t

musical accomplishment was very en te r ta in ing and instruct ive. I 'm sure all of us en joyed her p rog ram

very much. An ex t r a orchid should j o to her accompanis t who did a ^raiid job both in accompanying Miss O'Neill and in her solo num-

bers .

All f o r now! Be seeing you

Y's Words Dear Hopit ies ,

Well, he re it is t ime again to s t a r t t h ink ing about our annual " Y " Mission Drive. Oh yes, I know just w h a t some of you a r e th ink ing about , and I can a lmos t hear you say ing , " H e r e go the 'Y 's ' aga in

pull ing ano the r sneak a t tack in chapel some morning to t ry and ge t some money out of me f o r a place I 've never seen o r heard of before . " Or perhaps you ' re th ink-"ng, "They have a lot of nerve ex-pect ing me to 'dish ' ou t some cash . rom MY own pocket f o r some

school I don ' t even care about . Besides I 've got all I can do to pay my tuit ion a t Hope ."

We could fill up a whole paper with excuses tha t a re so of ten ren-dered when our Mission Drive rolls

a round, and since we a r e the people t h a t make these ambiguous excuses lot's look a t the o the r side which we don' t hear , or maybe we don't

want to hea r ) too o f t en . I 'J like to ask every s tudent a t

Hope College, yes and even the . 'acuity, j u s t how much money you

as an individual spend, or should I say was te , dur ing t h e course of one school y e a r ? Let me r e f r e sh your memory jus t in case you ' re having difficulty. How about those

shows two or three t imes a week, what of those " s l aves" you wasted

as much as three, f o u r , and even five dol lars on at our recent Soror-i ty and F r a t e r n i t y auct ions, or per-haps you've fo rgo t t en about t h a t expensive weekend you spent in

Lans ing when you j u s t had to see Michigan S ta t e play t h a t big foot-ball game .

Well, I 'm not s ay ing t h a t we should s top living now t h a t the Mission Drive is coming in view, f a r f r o m it. I would, however, like o remind you of a f e w of the fool-

sh ways in which we so of ten DO ipend our money, and then find a thousand and one excuses fo r evad-ing someth ing real ly construct ive

when it comes along.

If you ' re t e m p t e d to tu rn

" t h u m b s down" when you ' re asked to pledge some money f o r the Hope High School in India, jus t remem-ber the words of Chr is t when he

said, " F o r insomuch as ye have done it unto one of the leas t of these my bre thren , ye have done i t unto me." Maybe t h a t will change your mind.

So-long and I'll be seeing you a t ' Y " on Tuesday n igh t .

Snowman Sees Changes But Fundamentals Stay

Hi there , r emember m e ? I 'm back on campus again . I usual ly t ry to ge t here every yea r , bu t

somet imes I have t rouble . You see, my l i fe is ent i re ly dependen t upon

the w e a t h e r ; if I ge t he re a t all , and how long I s tay is governed by the e lements . My usual home a t Hope is in the Pine Grove where I can wave hello to everyone a s they pass by. One y e a r I w a s lucky

enough to live on the lawn a t Voor-hees, but t h a t was a sho r t win te r and I wasn ' t able to s t a y long. This year I'd cer ta in ly like to have

even a shor t s tay on the lawn a t Durfee . Pe rhaps the g i r l s will honor me. Maybe I can even visit

some of t he f r a t e r n i t y houses . Have you guessed by now t h a t

I 'm t h a t l i t t le man wi th the ca r ro t nose, coal eyes, and snow body? P e r h a p s you haven ' t noticed me

too much, but I bet t h a t I know you. I notice lots of th ings , t h a t happen a t Hope College.

The campus may change , but t he s tuden t s remain the same. They ' re

a lways the same type of serious-minded, yet fun- loving k ids every year . The same gr ipes — " I don' t

see why we have to go to chapel every morn ing , " and t h e same

pra ises , "Gee, but I ge t a lot out

of t h a t course ."

This t ime of y e a r is nicest of all

on the campus , I th ink . The kids

have a t l eas t a l i t t le r e s t dur ing the Thanksg iv ing vacat ion and the re ' s a new sp i r i t prevai l ing.

Maybe i t ' s t he f a c t t h a t t h e r e are only about two more weeks till

C h r i s t m a s vaca t ion begins . Gee, with all the shopp ing and the par-

t ies and the se renad ing it gives

you a good fee l ing .

I t ' s d u r i n g vacat ion t h a t I feel lonely. H e a r i n g the good-byes sure

leaves me with an e m p t y feel ing. But I know t h a t the kids will ail be back soon wi th more pep and

exc i tement t han ever .

I t g ives me a chance to re lax a little, too. If one a r m slips no one will be t h e r e to p rop it up again .

My nose can even slip a lit t le to

the side wi thout any severe conse-

quences.

I t ' s a t ime when I can look around and real ly en joy th i s cam-

pus. Th is is rea l ly a wonderfu l college, kids, apprec ia t e it while

you can!

Well, I have to leave now, hope

to see you soon.

Worshipping At Hope Through The Years

(The first in a ser ies of ar t ic les t r ac ing the h is tory of Hope's sp i r i tua l foundat ion by Dr.

Edw. D. Dimnent , P res iden t -E m e r i t u s of Hope College.)

In 1862 two s ignif icant events

a r e recorded in the h i s to ry of Hope College. The first F r e s h m a n Class

was entered upon the records and the " G y m n a s i u m " was buil t , la rge-

ly with the help of s tuden t s . There were then 37 officially reg i s te red , 24 in the Academy Classes and 13

in the F re shman Class ,—(al l "yeo-

m e n " but not enough f o r a yeo-man ' s guard . ) All of them were used to hard work and they set

about to prove it .

This " G y m n a s i u m " became the first Hope College "Chape l . " The

building was approx ima te ly 40 by 85 f ee t over all wi thout basement .

There was no s iding on the outside walls and no p las te r on the inside. The in ter ior walls were const ructed of several layers of v e r y heavy

brown paper over the s tudding and covered with the conventional "wal l

pape r , " dark tan in color. There were full gal ler ies on the nor th and

south sides and a t the r ea r , reached by s t a i r s within the ea s t en t ry . Grea t "Round Oak," pot-bellied stoves, fueled with wood, com-

bat ted the chill of win ter , and kero-sene lamps flickered t h rough an occasional evening service. The s ea t i ng capaci ty was abou t 400.

At the wes t end stood a p l a t f o r m three fee t high with a pulp i t a t t he center f ron t . A r r a n g e d a long the

back wall were h igh, s la t -back wooden chai rs of some d igni ty and a bit sugges t ive of the th rone sea t s

The service was r e g u l a r in order

but qui te in fo rmal , beg inn ing first with official notices given by the

Pres ident . The Sec re t a ry called the roll by c lasses next , and the sing-ing of a hymn fol lowed. The only

musical i n s t rumen t , not only in the Chapel but on the Campus , except

for a cheap violin or a cheaper horn owned by a Van Vleck stu-

dent, was a reed organ , somewhat an t ique but highly o rna te wi th f r e t -work and m i r r o r s above the music

rack. To " p r e s i d e " over the or-g a n " was a high honor accorded to

a Jun io r -Sen io r a s an academic honor and in te r ludes were usually played between the second and

ever, w a s chosen f o r his musical abil i ty. A Scr ip tu re lesson, a p ray-er, and a second h y m n followed, a f t e r which a doxology or benedic-

tion closed the service. The Pres i -dent then , a s a ru le , dismissed the g roup wi th a bow or a f o r m a l "You a re d ismissed ," and the Facu l ty

proceeded to s h a k e hands all a round, as doubt less t hey had done when they me t ea r l i e r in V a n Vleck Hall . T h e n they d ispersed hur r ied ly to the i r c lassrooms.

HOPE COLLEGE A N C H O R Page Three

Significant Volume Added To Library

Hope College l ibrary ha s added to i ts shelves a book by Dr. Joseph P. Free , head of the Depar tment of Archaeology a t Wheaton College, enti t led Archaeology and Bible His-tory.

Archaeological discoveries in Me-sopotamia, Egyp t and Pales t ine have thrown g rea t l ight on Bible his tory, and in th is book. Dr. Free , following the order of Bible history, shows how archaeological discover-ies i l luminate and confirm events related in the Bible. It is a sum-mary of Bible his tory as well a s a work in archaeology. The au thor wri tes f rom the view point of one who is a f i r m believer in t h e Bible.

Dr. F ree became interested in archaeology in his early teens, and in later college years he specialized in archaeology and Biblical studies. Dr. Free holds A. B., A. M. and Ph. D. degrees f r o m Princeton Uni-versi ty , and fo r ten years he car-ried on post-Ph. D. work in the field of archaeology and N e a r Eas te rn studies a t the Oriental In-s t i tu te of the Universi ty of Chi-cago.

He has made five s tudy- t r ips to Palest ine, the Near Eas t , and Europe. Before the war , he took s tudent s tudy-groups to Palest ine and o ther Bible lands.

Dr. Free says he wrote the book because he had so many requests to recommend a good book on arch-aeology and the Bible, and he fel t there was a g rea t need f o r a book deal ing with archaeology and Bible his tory f rom the view point of an orthodox believer in the Bible, and because he had heard many sermons which could have been much more effective if an archaeological proof had been mentioned.

One example of his presenta t ion of mater ial is the discussion and pictures of the walls of Jer icho. Dr. Free quotes f rom a s ta tement made by Gars tang , Vincent and Fisher , concerning excavations which they made of Jericho in 1930-36.

"The outer wall suffered most, its remains fa l l ing down the slope. The inner wall is preserved only where it abu ts upon the citadel, or tower , to a height of eighteen f ee t ; else where it is found largely to have fa l len, together with the remains of buildings upon it, into the space between the walls which was fil led with ruins and debris. Traces of in-tense f i re are plain to see, includ-ing reddened masses of brick, cracked stones, charred t imbers and ashes. Houses alongside the wall a r e found burned to the ground, their roofs fallen upon the domestic pot tery within.". . . . "As to the main fact , then, there remains no doubt; the walls fell ou twards so completely tha t the a t t ackers would be able to clamber up over their ruins into the c i ty ."

Dr. Free intended the book to be used as a tex t or supplementary reading fo r Bible his tory or Bible archaeology courses, or as a re fe r -ence book f o r Sunday school or Bible class teachers, but it proves to be very in teres t ing leisure t ime reading f o r anyone who has some in teres t in the Bible.

Rev. Korteling Of India To Be Featured As Mission Speaker

Next Wednesday morning will • they have the g rea t e s t demand for

witness the annual Hope College

mission drive dur ing the r egu la r

chapel service. Rev. Mr. Kortel ing,

who is now home on Fur lough a f t e r having spent seven years in India will be the speaker . The money to be raised is for our s is ter insti-tution in India, namely, Hope High School, towards the completion of its re-establ ishment to a high school level.

Rev, Korte l ing has been closely connected with the work of the school and comes ful ly equipped to give us the value t h a t such an institution can have in India. He first came into contact with Hope High School while he was a s tudent here a t Hope. In the yea r 1917 our College first s ta r ted i ts suppor t of the high school in India, and Mr. Kortel ing was put in charge of the drive. A f t e r College, he a t -tended Western Seminary and f rom there went out to India as a missionary. He was s ta t ioned in Punganur which is close to Ma-danapalle and soon became the manager and correspondent of the high school. It was dur ing his s tay in India tha t the school turned into a higher e lementary school, and he served the school many years while it was in this capaci ty. When the demand became g rea t enough fo r its re-establ ishment as a high school, Mr. Kortel ing helped in the plans fo r its conversion.

Besides his work wi th Hope School, Rev. Mr. Kortel ing was in charge of th i r ty- two village schools. Along with this work he did per-sonal evangel izing among new vil-lage a reas . Recently he has ex-plored the possibilities of evan-gelism and education by audio-visual means, and has consequently developed an interest in exchange of ideas by movies, and pictures.

The money will again go f o r the conversion of Hope School to Hope High School. The- drives of the last two years have made possible a s t a r t in th is work, but there yet remains a lot to be done. They have yet to complete the purchase of scientific equipment, the new building being built fo r t r a in ing in c r a f t smansh ip has to be completed, new f u r n i t u r e and playground equipment has to be bought , and most impor tan t of all a new set of books has to be bought .

"Pre-Medical" Study Called Outmoded

New York, N. Y . — ( I . P . ) —

Calling fo r the abolishment of "pre-

medical" education in the nat ion 's

colleges and universities, Dr. Wil-

lard C. Rappleye, dean of Colum-

bia Univers i ty 's Faculty of Medi-cine, declared " there is no such th ing as a 'pre-medical education. ' College s tuden ts who plan to enter professional schools in our fields should not be regarded a s pre-medical or pre-dental s tudents ."

In his annual report to President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Dr. Rap-pleye said tha t the college prepa-ration fo r medical, dental and pub-lic health fields should not be pro-fessional in character , he said, but should be devoted to the objective of providing a s broad a cultural education as the par t icular insti tu-tion can give.

" I t should be a prepara t ion not fo r medicine or dentistry or public health, but f o r life," he declared.

Students should be selected f o r professional education not so much on the basis of grades or subjects as fo r charac ter , personality, intel-ligence, abili ty, industry, general culture, resourcefulness , matur i ty and evidence of a grasp of the prin-ciples under lying the sciences upon which medical study is dependent , Dr. Rappleye stated.

Durfee Hall To Be This Year's Site Of WAL All-College Christmas Party

Durfee Hall will present a colorful scene on Fr iday night , December eighth, as t h e fellows and girls assemble fo r the annual W A L all-college Chris tmas pa r ty which will be held there th is year. The par ty promises to be even more lovely than pas t ones, as the girls will add a touch of beauty with their lovely formals.

Last year , an inspir ing Christ-mas pantomime with musical back-ground was given in the chapel; f o r two years preceding this , a gay pa r ty was held in the gym. But now, WAL fee ls tha t it would like to bring back the old custom of a formal Chr is tmas par ty . Several years ago, the fo rmal Chr i s tmas pa r t y was always mentioned to a newcomer on campus as one of t he nicest events of the year . As we have not had a formal Chr i s tmas pa r ty f o r the pas t t h r e e years , none of t he s tudents now on cam-pus have had this experience, bu t WAL is sure tha t everyone will ap -preciate the revival of an old cus-tom.

Marga re t Schoonveld and Beth Thomson a re the general chairmen of the event , and they will be as-sisted by Jeane t t e Siderius, chair-man of the r e f r e shmen t committee, Marge Pickens, p rogram commit-tee cha i rman.

English Majors Enlarge Activities To Include Five Major Sub-Groups

The English Majors Club has been divided into five interest groups, each with a faculty advisor. The object of this advisor is not to lend a classroom atmosphere to the meet-ings nor to place any restrictions on the discussions of the group, but more to act as a connecting link between the Club and the College.

The faculty member of the poetry group is Mr. Ten Hoor. The group decided, primarily due to their size of twelve members a t present, that the group government should be kept as uncomplicated as possible. As a result, they decided to elect one officer, a general factotum, to act as president, secretary, t reasurer and business manager. The man picked for this honor was Gordon DePree.

The object of the poetry group is

to put each individual member on his or her own in respect to poetry evaluation. This is accomplished by picking poems a t random a f t e r the meet ing s t a r t s &nd discussing them on the basis of a single reading. This allows no previous s tudy and taxes the individuals immediate re-sources. This object, incidentally, was chosen by the s tudents them-selves, not by the facul ty advisor.

Creat ive Wri t ing Dr. Billups, of the facul ty , lends

her t ime to the creat ive wri t ing group. Due to t he wide diversity of f ie lds in such a group, it has been subdivided into four divisions— the shor t s tory group, poetry group, two members have chosen lo wri te a play and one ha s chosen the field of cri t icism. Each of these divisions does creat ive work in their own field, then submits it to the res t of t he group f o r discus-sion and cri t icism. Keeping every-th ing on a well-organized basis a re the th ree officers elected by the s tudents—pres ident Mary Hout-nam, secre tary Connie McConnell and t r ea su re r Dorothy Fennema. Cont ra ry to popular belief and in-dications of above, the group con-sis ts of more men than women.

One of the most prominent fea-tu res of this g roup is t h a t if any of the Engl ish Major members notices a s tudent who shows prom-ise in creat ive wr i t ing and in-te res t in the g roup but who is not an English Major , the member will invite the promising pa r ty to be-come a member . Four s tudents have already been paid t h a t honor. They are Roy Adelberg, D a v e H a j e r , Mar jor ie Pickens and Har-

old Saunders .

At lant ic Monthly Dr. DeGraaf , head of the Eng-

lisii Depar tment , a t t ends the "At -lan.ic Monthly" discussions. A t t h . s e ga the r ings , the s tudents , led by tneir sole officer. Governor Don La.iderink, d .scuss not only the i i t e . a iy ar t ic les of the magazine , bat every ar t ic le in any field which

proves of interest to any group

member. Each s tudent en ters into

discussion on each art icle discussed,

as par t of his duty to the group is

to read the entire magazine before

aach meeting.

Another object of the group is to discover whether or not any Hope Alumni have ever been as-sociated with this magazine in any way. No resul ts have been turned in as yet. The Atlant ic Monthly offers subscriptions to s tudents so interested a t specially reduced club rates. If any Hope s tudents who are not members of th is club but aqually interested would like a sub-scription to this magazine at these special club rates, application may be made at Dr. De Graa f ' s office.

Novel Mr. Pr ins is connected with the

"Novel" group of the English Major ' s Club. The object of th is group is to choose and discuss a novel which is significant but not likely to be t rea ted in ordinary classroom si tuations. These novels have been chosen not only on the i r l i terary significance, but also on the probabili ty of the novel to pro-mote a good lively discussion. Each discussion will be supervised by a student chosen the previous meet-ing according to his interest in the par t icular novel under discussion. The chairman for the next discus-sion, which will be over Henry J a m e s ' "The Turn of the Screw," is Dave Kars ten. Following this, Virginia Woolf 's "Or lando" will be discussed, and if the group is suc-cessful, Dr. Snow will be present to lead the discussion, as she is con-sidered definitely a Woolf exper t .

Drama D e a n Hollenbach occupies his

spare t ime with the d rama group, discussing under the able leader-ship of their Chairman, Charles Kelly, the meri ts and demer i t s of such f amous au thors as George Bernard Shaw and such immortal plays as "Death of a Salesman."

By the way, I'm sure tha t Dean Hinga 's words f e l l on f e r t i l e ground, when he contacted all the house managers , tell ing them to be sure to remind all the fellows tha t Thanksgiving vacation was a good t ime to "catch up on both studies and sleep." Well, anyway we did catch up on some sleep.

Speaking of Thanksgiving Vaca-tion, I 'm reminded of a little inci-dent which took place on a local bus in one of our larger cities. It seems tha t a small boy, ca r ry ing a per fora ted box, got on the bus with his f a the r . The little tyke was hold-ing the box gently, and wear ing such a radiant expression tha t he a t t rac ted the a t tent ion of all those in the vicinity. No sooner had the pair sett led down, when the boy p'ped up with, "Daddy, is this kit-ten a male or a f e m a l e ? " Noticing the inquiring s t a r e s of many of the pat rons , the f a t h e r quickly replied tha t it was a male. "How do you k n o w ? " was the lad's prompt re-tort . By this t ime, the at tent ion of all was riveted on the slightly f lus tered fa ther , but the la t te r sal-vaged his dignity with the f a s t re-ply, "Well, he has whiskers, hasn ' t h e ? "

Famous last words: " I do." * * «

A MITE O'MALARKY At this point, your old repor te r

would like to stick his neck out a bit. I 've been hear ing rumors of late, t h a t quite a few of the stu-dents have been questioning the type of hymns sung in chapel. I t seems t h a t they would like to sing some of the "old- t imers" we all en-joy, and I think they have a point. Jus t a suggest ion . . . Why don't the Y. M. and Y. W. get behind a movement of this sort , and see if something can' t be done?

The question of the day seems to be: What happened to the th ree dozen spoons tha t have disap-peared f rom Durfee Hall since the beginning of school ? Maybe those responsible could inform the ma-jority of s tudents why .the cost of board keeps r ising!

There have been rumors about campus t h a t our own "Rambl ing Richard" or "Lost Dick" may have stuck his precious neck out a bit too f a r in the past issue of the Anchor. Now don't misunderstand me, your repor ter is all fo r f reedom of the press, and there is something to what Dick has said, but I feel it may have been overdone a bit. Per-haps t ha t ' s all one could expect from someone who knows so little about football . As many of you know, "Lost Richard" is himself a coach of one of the f r a t teams, and that t eam is now residing in f i f t h place. Enuf said.

Has anyone thought up a new name for a Dutchmen of Hope? I guess it 's fut i le!

Speaking of names, now tha t the lower dining hall at Durfee 's has been enriched by a por t ra i t of Queen Ju l iana , and rechristened the • 'Juliana Room," your repor te r would like to suggest tha t in order not to offend anyone, the upper din-ing room might be renamed the "Prince Bernard" room. Of course, if you want to carry things to ex-tremes, the small committee din-ing room might be called the "Claustrophobia Coop."

Have you heard the la test y e t ? Well, don ' t listen to it, as it 's prob-ably jus t so much poppycock.

Well, now tha t your repor te r is running out of air, I'd be t te r stop until I get a chance to fill up a t Prin 's Texaco Service, at Eighth and Columbia. 'Bud's one of our adver t isers , you know!) So it 's "so-long" 'till next issue.

F o r the benefit of those who may be unaware of it, such a s pledges, etc., it is to be recalled t h a t th i s is so-called Inquisi t ion Week, de-rived f rom the Lat in, in, meaning " o u t , " -f quizzo, mean ing a shor t surpr i se examinat ion of no more than eight hours ' dura t ion. The t e rm acquired i ts p resen t signifi-cance in the t ime of t he Emperor Tiberias, who built the Tiber River, when a small but spir i ted (100 pr . ) band of Emersonians , who were wont to r e fe r to the Week in ques-tion by a different name, undertook the compilation of observed f ac t , based on the experiences of some of their associates f rom other cor-ners of the campus , to be published in the form of a short s tory known as Paradise Lost. Thus, according to the Emersonian Theory, the week during which some of t he conditions observed in the i r s tudy were to be s imulated, us ing the eage r Pledges as will ing subjects , was to be known as "Pa rad i se Lost Week," but since Dante wouldn' t relinquish his copyr ights (he need-ed the royal t ies to ge t out of pur -ga to ry ) , it was decided Inquisition Week would be jus t a s applepro ( D a g m a r says i t ) .

What do these eager Pledges think of Inquisition W e e k ? "This is an honor and a privilege," ac-cording to J im Loch. "I ' l l long re-member these many happy hours ," A1 Jones avers . "Dis is indeed da l i fe ," proclaims Sieb VanderWagen in eloquently phrased syllables. " M a y I l ight your c igar , s i r ? " Bob Hoeksema wonders. And yet, in spi te of all these care fu l ly consid-ered and profoundly gr ipp ing dec-lamations, none so adequately sums up the s i tuat ion as the words of J ack Corry when he said—humbly, reverent ly — "We' re hur t in ' , men." Such pathos.

Now tha t everybody has finished

using Alka Seltzer a f t e r their

Thanksgiving dinner I guess t h a t

we can again begin us ing i t to

sett le the headache which occurs

a f t e r we get the final r esu l t s of

our mid term grades.

Up a t Columbia Avenue and

Tenth s t reet , though, the re have

been few headaches. As a ma t t e r

of fac t , we have been enjoying the

year grea t ly . Homecoming was

very successful, and we were

thrilled to have over a hundred

and twenty-five Fra te rna l Alumni

descend upon us. The a lumni and

actives enjoyed a weekend of Fra -

ternal fes t iv i ty .

We have had some splendid papers this year a t our l i terary meetings. F r a t e r Huff 's pape r on • 'Euthanasia" was exceedingly fine and was voted into the archives. Some of the humor papers have revealed the t rue ta lents of many of the F ra te r s . We had at one time thought tha t F r a t e r John Johnson was of Swedish origin, but a f t e r his humor paper , which revealed his abili ty as a linguist, many of us are in doubt. F r a t e r Appledorm finally revealed one of his secrets in a paper , too — App deserves the name "guber , " he's got such beauti-ful teeth. Along with the multi-plicity of F ra te rna l ta lent , a fine movement was begun when Jack Boeskoel, accompanied by Bill La-ing, both members of Cosmopolitan, presented the musical numbers a t one of our meet ings — it would be a good thing fo r the f r a t e rn i t i e s to exchange the i r ta lent in such a manner .

Last Tuesday the F r a t e r pledges read the poems which they had written about their dates for the Fra terna l Winter Formal , Decem-ber 1. These poems were of a dy-namic nature — we are sure tha t several of these young men will soon have poems printed in the 'Sampler ," F ra te rna l pledges, the " few and chosen," this yea r a re Charles Bradley, Dick DePree, Rob-ert Dethmers, Pe ter DeVuyst, Rob-ert DeWild, Cliff Dobben, Monty Dyer, Max Fleishman, Ed Fryl ing , and Dick Hagni .

Also, Eugene Hospers, J a m e s Hyink, Dick Ingram, Dave Kemp-kers, John Kenwell, Willard Kram-er, Don Kranenberg , Don S. Lub-bers, Jack Miller, Harvey Mulder, Herm Nienhuis, Joe Pierce, Norm Schuling, Herb Stouten, J e r r y Van Duine, Paul VanderMeer, and Paul Walsma. We are proud to announce these men a s pledges of Omicron Kappa Epsilon.

The coming events f o r F ra t e rna l are the Winter Formal and "In-quisit ion" week f o r the pledges. The Winter Formal is to be held this Fr iday evening a t t he Hotel Pant l ind, Grand Rapids. F r a t e r Gene Campbell is the cha i rman of th is main win te r social event . We are all looking fo rward to an eve-ning of fun , fes t iv i ty , and f a n f a r e . Until then, we'll see you in our dreams, girls.

In Spite Of Laudable Efforts, Frosh Fail To Knot Cup Count

For the ninth t ime in sixteen contests the Sophomore girls emerged victrious over the very promising Freshmen in the annual Nykerk Cup competition.

I t all began back in 1935 when the Freshman Pull Team went down to defeat a t t h e hands of the muscle-bound Soph-omores, The F reshman gir ls rebelled a t the ensuing humili-ties and vowef tHhaLj f tbc i r men were not able to defend the i r honor the girls would jus t have to do something about it. Ten s ta lwart F reshman girls then challenged the Sopho-more girls to a tug-o-war with no holds barred. This over-ture was promptly squelched by Prexy Wichers on the grounds t h a t such was hardly the p roper conduct for demure Hope coeds. He sug-gested, instead, a ba t t le of wi ts comprised of contes ts in music, d rama, and ora tory . Brain over brawn won out as usual and the f i r s t Nykerk Cup Contest w a s held the following year . The Fresh-man gir ls emerged f r o m the f r a y victorious and thus the honor of the Frosh class was saved and a new inst i tut ion was born.

The contest was original ly held in the spr ing but in 1939 November was designated as the official date of the competition. This resulted in there being two contests in 1939.

The 1950 Nykerk Cup Contest was officially opened by Student Council President Bill Vant Hof who brought the capaci ty audience up to date on the h is tory and rules of the contest . Capable inter-class

chai rman Eloise Hinkamp t h e n

took over and the ba t t le was on.

F reshman chai rman was Helena

Tinkl inberg and the orat ion "The

Case Agains t Eu thanas i a (Mercy

Ki l l ing)" was given by M y r a

Saunders. Junior coaches f o r the

Freshman class were Anne t te and

Jeane t t e Siderius, d ramat i c coach

was Mary Houtman and the music

director was Doris Adams.

The Sophomore cha i rman was

Sally Palen, the orat ion being "The

Paradox of Ignorance" by Betty

Roelof. Play directors were Evie

Leese and Jean Kloetingh with Ar-

lene Ritsema and Lois Apt Holt di-

rec t ing the music.

Senior coach f o r the Sophomore

class was Alice Gravenhors t ; Willie

De Vore coached the p l a y a n d

Cathy Sharp directed the music.

J u d g i n g the events were Dr. Bil-

lups of the depar tment of English

and Mr. Cavanaugh of the depar t -

ment of music.

The entire p rogram was replete

with drama, suspense, comedy, soul

s t i r r ing music and pa thos a n d every minute was really enjoyable. At the close of the contest , while the judges were seal ing the f a t e of the contes tants , the audience was f u r t h e r enter ta ined by Dick Hesler who gave his in te rpre ta t ion of a l i t t le boy giving his f i r s t recital . When the laughter convulsed au-dience once again gained the i r com-posure Dick led in a mer ry group s ing.

The decision of the judges was then made known and the Sopho-more girls responded to t h a t long awai ted stimuli with robust cheers and congratula t ions fo r each other.

W h e n t h e r e v e l r y subsided, Sophomore chairman Sally Palen received the coveted Nykerk Cup f r o m interclass chai rman Eloise Hinkamp. The acceptance speech was one of hea r t fe l t g ra t i t ude fo r all who made the contest possible and sincere condolence to the Frosh; reminding them they, the Sophs, were f reshmen and losers last year .

D E L P H I Well, the Delphi's did i t aga in

— had a rousing t ime wi th the i r da tes a t the V F W on Sa turday , t he 18th. One really should say—"had a rousing t ime all over t o w n " 'cause f r o m eight until ten fleeting gl impses of groups of Delphi 's (etc.) could be caught a s they charged f r o m H a d ' s d o w n t o River-view and back to 3rd Church and var ious o the r spots a t opposite ends of town. A t reasure h u n t was the cause of all this undue energy. (Incidental ly, Group IV won by the length of t ime it t akes to blow up a balloon, pop it and scream) . How-ever, the t reasure hunt was only half the f u n ( ? ) The res t of the evening was spent in some gay games — to use the term loosely. One American folk dance was also indulged in — the kind where you can ' t do too much squeezing (of the banana, tha t is.) For our pro-g ram of the evening, Delphi 's plus tuned in to stat ion D-E-L-P-H-I fo r a "man on the s t r ee t " p rog ram injected with a few last feeble gob-bles f rom Turkey Hoffman. Mr. and Mrs. Frissel and Have rkamp chaperoned the evening but rumors have it they were not in the best of condition come Sunday morning. Ah, it 's g r e a t to be young and en-erget ic!

The night before this r ip- roar ing af fa i r , the Delphis spent a peaceful evening in their room and were en-ter ta ined by a program planned by Carol Van Lare and Vonnie De Loof. Thanksgiving was the theme and var ious delicacies of the tu rkey were served; the " h e a r t " (devo-tions) by Mary Zweizig, the "back-bone" (ser ious ?) by Bet ty Wat -son, "gobble, gobble" s u n g by Boopie (Olive) Koeppe, the " r ib s" by humor Hoffman and J a n i e Borr brought in the "Tai l -End" a s critic.

Back to the f a r m f o r Dorians

and da tes! Back to the woods!

Breathe in t h a t cold November a i r

your lucky s t a r s you're a Dorian.

Prompt ly a t 8:00 the parade to the

s tables f o r our hayride s ta r ted .

Prompt ly , tha t is in the usual way

— by which we mean tha t the in-

escapable happened to some of us.

We got lost, s t rayed, or otherwise

confoozed and ended up a little late

in arr iving. A f t e r a r r a n g i n g our-

selves comfortably in everyone

elses way and finding convenient

knees to lean on (much to the own-

er 's obvious and vocal d iscomfor t ! ) ,

we were off on the moonlit t ra i l , jogging along behind the t ro t t i ng horses. Of course, some of us fell off* — and others were kept busy throwing others off — the wagon, but aside f rom the loss of Phyll Leach's shoe wardrobe, no casual-ties were repor ted f rom the f ron t .

A f t e r thoroughly f reez ing our-selves, we embarked f o r Miller's Barn, where we played games (with oranges and toothpicks and various other surpr is ing ar t ic les! ) , sa t and toasted our toes ta lk ing in f ron t of the huge fireplace, and roas t ing apples in its flames, and otherwise passed the t ime away.

All reports confirm our suspi-cions tha t we all had a g rand t ime and tha t we can hardly wait fo r the next embarkat ion upon some f u t u r e Dorian project — such as our fo r -mal pa r ty in February! Plans f o r the formal win te r par ty , , by the way, are going ahead at full s team and then some. But fo r now, there is no more news, so . . . So-long, f rom Dorian!

HOPE CAGE SEASON UNDERWAY Albion First For All-Sports Trophy

Albion College has taken a small

lead in the MI A A all-sports t rophy

race, according to the unofficial

compilations of the ANCHOR

sports staff . The Britons, winner of the 1950 trophy, have captured a first place in cross-country and a third place tie in football f o r 15 points. •

Kalamazoo is in the second spot with 13 points. Alma is a close third, having 12 tallies. Hope, with a third position tie in both football and cross-country, has 10 pointers . Adrian and Hillsdale follow with 8 and 2 points, respectively.

The lead is not subs tant ia l and cannot be considered significant with basketball and the spr ing sports resul ts still unknown, of

course.

The points are awarded in this manner . In each sport ten points are awarded the winner, e igh t to the second place team, six for third, fou r f o r four th , and two for fii'th. A cellar dwelling t e a m gets

no points. o

Most Valuable: Tom Van Wingen

L i k e a b l e T o m V a n W i n g e n , senior f rom Grand Rapids, was chosen the most valuable member of the Hope football t eam by his t eammates . The crashing ful lback, play ng his second season in tha t jpot , was a consistent ground j a iner in every contest and was also one of the leading scorers in the s ta te . Hard charg ing Gene Campbell , also a senior f r o m Mus-kegon, was capta in of the squad.

Other seniors who have finished their collegiate grid ca ree rs are Bill H inga , Don Van Ingren , Je r ry Groters , and Ed Leveret te f rom Holland; Har ry and Bob Vischer f rom Hudsonville, and Ken Johnson f rom Chicago.

Schouten Works With Frosh Team

The 1950-61 edition of the Hope

f r e shman basketball t eam will open

its season December n in th a g a i n s t

Adrian, here. At present , though,

Coach Jack Schouten has not the

vaguest idea which f ive p layers

will take the floor a t the opening

whistle. This will depend mainly on whether or not some of the Frosh

make the va r s i ty squad.

Coach Schouten says t h a t he will

carry f rom twelve to f i f t een men

m the roster, making his pick f r o m

he th i r ty candidates, with his f inal jut coming approximate ly a week a f t e r Thanksgiv ing vacat ion.

" J a c k " has his work cut out f o r him again this year , as he looks over another g roup of new faces His impression of the asp i ran t bas-ketball p layers thus f a r is t h a t they will be plenteous in height but lacking a bit in speed. Providing che height is retained on the Fresh-.nan squad, he looks fo rward to a

successful season.

In^erfrat Basketball lo Slarr Immediately

In t e r f r a t basketball is scheduled

:o s t a r t the week a f t e r Thanksgiv-

ing vacation. The two leagues will

again be composed of two t eams

from each f r a t , independents, and

he Seminary boys. The " A " t e a m s

will play on Wednesday evenings.

Last year the F r a t e r s were " A '

champs a f t e r emerg ing victorious

in a playoff with the Kmmies and

Arcad ans. The Cosmos were on top

in the "B" group a f t e r defea t ing

the F ra t e r " B " team in a playoff.

The F r a t e r " A " team won the

Inter-league crown.

The competition should be as

keen and as close as ever this year .

Hope Harriers Fourth In Conference Meet

The cross-country squad climaxed their season with a disappoint ing showing in the MIAA champion-ship. Paced by Bob R o o s w h o finished in four th p l a c e , t h e y scored 91 points to f inish behind Albion, Adrian, and Kalamazoo.

The record breaking race which was won by Hewit t of Adrian, was exceptionally f a s t all the way. The mile was run off in 4:38. The f inal time was 20:(). At the mile marker Roos was among the top three, but he lost position in the final pa r t of the run.

The additional scoring fo r Hope was compiled by Wayne Tr ipp in 15th place, Collins Ott ipoby who finished 22nd, Neil Van Heest in che 24th pos tion, and Roger Knoph crossed the finish line 2Gth.

Among the members of the team the consensus of opinion is t h a t the pace maintained by the leaders was so f a s t tha t it was impossible to keep up during the f i r s t two miles. As a result the top men of our team were too f a r behind the f i r s t position to catch up in the f inal nile.

The meet was held November 15 n 'er the four mile Adrian course.

A proposed banquet will end the activities of the har r ie rs .

Independents Champs In Touch Football Loop

With the end of the sevpn game schedule drawing nearer , the unde-feated Independents loom as the champs in the i n t e r f r a t league. The final game for all t eams have yet to be played, weather permi t t ing . This final round has been twice postponed because snow covered fields.

The only possible signif icance among the f r a t s in the game to be played between the Emmies and Cosmos. This tilt will decide the f i f t h place team.

The league has been under the direction of Russ DeVette, his s tu-dent ass is tant , Ron Bos, and the in t ramural managers . Bi l l Ho l -.verda and Bud Vander Wege have officiated the games .

Dutchmen Travel To Indiana For First Game

Once again the basketball season is officially underway at Hope. The cagers , under the direction of tu to r Russ De Vet te f o r the third year , played the f i r s t game Sa turday aga ins t powerful Valparaiso on the home court of the Indiana school. The resu l t s of the game are un-known as the ANCHOR goes to press.

The tenta t ive s t a r t i ng lineup f o r the f i r s t game lists all-MIAA selec-tion Bud Vander Wege and Soph le t ter winner Gerry Jacobson a t the fo rward positions, ve teran Jun Bremer a t the pivot p o s t , a n d le t terman Ken Van Regenmor te r and speedy Ron Bos a t the gua rd slots.

Return ing ve te rans Zeke Piersma and Duane Peekstok are expected to see a lot of action. Another vet-eran, scrappy Bill Hinga, will join the squad as soon as he is fu l ly re-covered f rom football injuries . U p f rom last years f ro sh squad a r e Dick Hagni, Ron Appledorn, and Fuzz Bauman. Also on the squad are Don Hondorp and Gene Nyen-huis.

Several f r e shman hoopsters a r e working out with vars i ty and they will probably see action on th i s team as well as on the f rosh out-fit . These men are Ron Broersma, Bob Visser, and Norm Schuiling f rom Grand Rapids; Bob F r i f e ld t f rom Spr ing Lake; and Will iard Kramer and Tim Beerthuis f r o m Holland.

Coach De Vette has been working t h e b o y s hard ge t t ing them in shape fo r the opening f r ay . Be-cause of lack of height , speed is be.ng stressed.

ItBSUb Every football league ha s its a l l -s tar team. I t is only fitting and

proper tha t the new i n t e r f r a t league have its a l l -s tar squad, too. With-out f u r t h e r ado, the ANCHOR presents its version of this a l l - s tar squad.

F I R S T TEAM

Backs — A1 Boers Cosmos J im Harvey Arcadiand Dave Kempker Independent J im Pfingstel Seminary

Ends — Don Kooiman Arcadian Gerry Van Heest Seminary

Center — Paul Van Eck Independent

SECOND TEAM Backs —

J e r r y Boerman T Dorm Ron Bos F r a t e r Dick Nuisma F r a t e r Ken Van Regenmorter Independent

Ends — Jun Bremer Independent Wayne Fieldhouse Knick

Center — John Hamilton Arcadian

Although the a l l -s tars played both offense and defense, the s t a r s were picked primari ly because of the i r offensive abilities. The out-standing passers and receivers in the league are among those chosen. The centers must be chosen f o r their blocking and cha rg ing abilities, and f o r both defensive and offensive play.

The champion Independent crew placed f o u r men on the squads. Three Arcadians made the list, two Seminary boys, two Fra t e r s , one Cosmo, one Knick, and one T Dorm man.

During the past week we've heard quite a few comments about the :olumn on the last spor ts page. Some were adverse, surpr is ing many .vere favorable, and one fellow (a f r iend) maintained the wr i te r didn't j o f a r enough. George!

I t 's a good feeling to know tha t a few people a re reading your column. You really can' t blame anyone for not reading it, but it 's sort of nice to have a few read it — to spot misspelled words, etc.

Evidently some one has been reading the sport page way out in Logan, Utah. The Paul Coburn Agency f rom tha t city thinks we need some new descriptive words and phrases fo r description of athletic contests. For only $2.00 Mr. Coburn will send his book containing 626 descriptive words and phrases f o r the sports wri ter .

The chapter on basketball alone contains: 60 ways of describing a basketball score! Tha t ' s r igh t , 66! 24 different pass descript ions! 45 basketball maneuvers f o r real s tudents of the game! 40 different descriptions under "Genera l" describing different

play and players , and many other appropos to the game of basketball!

We will gladly give the address to any aspi rant spor ts wri ter , and he, too, can enjoy this shortcut to success.

We're looking forward to a real in teres t ing basketball season. We'll make no predictions, but there should be some real high scoring t i l t s this year tha t will give the f ans their money's worth (and not because most of the fans don't pay anyth ing , e i ther ) . We can hardly wai t f o r the first home game. By the way, when is i t ?
