MESSIAH TO BE PRESENTED TUESDAY <* I * ' The 33rd annual performance of Handel's great oratorio, The Messiah, will be presented Tuesday, December 12, at 8 p.m. in Dimnent Memorial Chapel, according to Dr. Robert W. Cav- anaugh. Chairman of the Hope College Music Department. Four distinguished soloists from Chicago will be backed by a 200-voice chorus comprised of the college's Chapel and Chancel Choirs, accompanied by mem- bers of the orchestra, Roger Rietberg, organist, and Anthony Kooiker, pianist. Dr. Cavanaugh, who will con- duct the traditional performance, has announced the following so- loists: Joyce Morrison, soprano; Patricia Sage, contralto; Law- rence Lane, tenor; and Richard Schreiber, baritone. Miss Morrison, who is cur- rently on the voice faculty at Wheaton College, received her B.A. from Augustana and her M.M. from the American Con- servatory of Music. She has ap- peared as soloist with numerous oratorio societies and choruses, including the Handel Oratorio Society of Rock Island, Euro- pean Oratorio Society of Morgan Park, Hammond Presbyterian Chorus, Chicago Heights Civic Symphony, the Tri-City Sym- phony Orchestra of Davenport, Iowa, and others. Miss Sage, contralto, as a so- loist member of the famed Rockefeller Chapel Choir, Uni- versity of Chicago, has perform- ed all the major Bach scores, as well as many other oratorios. She has sung with the Lyric Opera of Chicago and has ap- peared on television both as a piano soloist and as a singer. Miss S'age will be touring Eu- rope in the spring of 1962.

In Corinth, Jason renounces Medea to marry Creusa, the daughter of Creon, king of Cor- inth. Jason thus is established by Bob Jaehnig as the heir apparent to Creon's throne. According to the ways of her Barbarian people, Medea plots revenge on Jason, through the death of his new bride and the sons he had by Medea.

P & M's 'Medea' Scores Opening Night Success

At the first meeting of the cast chosen to appear in Palette and Masque's current production of Euripides' Me^ea, Director David Karsten was overhead to have said:

"Now that we have decided to produce this play, we had better understand one thing, Medea will be great or it will be nothing."

B. J. Berghorst, Zeeland jun-ior. showed sensitivity and fine control in his moving portrayal of Jason, Medea's unfaithful husband and the hero of the mythological tale of the Golden Fleece.

A Time For Everylhins !.R:C-Di?C.U!S!S Chapel should remain atronf by keeping the aervlee wlely for

1U reliffloui Inspiration without announcement# or presentations at-tached to the end of It. ^

However, there are noteworthy events which occur a couple times a semeste^ which are short in duration, and include the whole student body. It Is difficult to draw the students together outside of the chapel service.

With the recognition of these two premises, here la a solution. At the beginning of each semester the proper committee under the student council should set the dates for two days In which a full period In the middle of the morning would be devoted to the events proven nccessary.

One day would be for the student council and those events which the council deems necessary to bring before the assembled student body.

The other day would be for the traditionally established eventt of the presentation of the queen's court at May Day and home-coming, and the presentation of the new Blue Key members in the spring.

During these two days in which the focus Is on these special events, there would be no chapel. The assemblies would be given credit as a chapel attendance.

In this way. the meaning of Chapel would be strengthened by being kept for lia specific purpose of worship. Two days set aside for these Important events does not destroy one's religion but makes the chapel service for the balance of the time more meaningful.

This Is the problem and a possible solution. Let us hope that all concerned understand the situation and act on the problem.

U. S. Could Solve Problem

Guest Editorials

Tickets Please The problem of meal tickets has long been a thorn in the side

too many students, particularly the girls who do not go to all the meala and those who prefer to go home on the weekends; and the Idea that charging those who do not eat every meal In order that the meals they do eat can be made better, does not seem Justifiable, so here Is a suggestion.

It seems that it would be possible to sell tickets, each of which would designate a different quantity of meals. These tickets could be made available to the students In two group forms: one group could be on a five day basis, and the other could be on a seven day basis, and each group could be divided into a two or three meal section. This would provide: The first group

1. A five day, two meal a day ticket for those who both go home on the weekends and do not care to eat breakfast

2. A five day, three meal a day ticket for those who go home but during the week would like to eat breakfast. The second group

1, A seven day, two meal a day ticket for those who do not go home but would not want to eat breakfast.

2. A seven day three meal a day ticket for those who do not go home and would like to eat breakfast all week long.

Perhaps It Is true that Slater makes their money on the week-ends and breakfasts, and perhaps It la true thai they can make the week day meals better on the money they save, but this does not Justify the faet that every week-day more than a hundred students have to pay for breakfasts they don't eat, and every weekend It amounts to dollars per student!

This suggestion could lighten the burden of the needless spend-ing if it were put into effect. —DAVID BROWER

by Bob Jaehnlg A recent meeting of the Hope

International Relations C l u b featured a panel discussion on the "Berlin Crisis." Three stu-dents who had done research on the situation reviewed the history of the problem and gave the points of view of both East and West.

As the meeting and the subse-quent questlon-and-answer ses-sion proceeded, one Impression became increasingly clear: here is an artificial crisis, one that does not have to exist, and one that the United States COULD bring to a peaceful end tf our leaders so chose. Alongside of this realization arose the ques-tion: "Then why DON'T we end it?"

History The Western posture in Berlin,

the panelists brought out, rests solely on immediate post - war agreements made among the World War II European Allies, dividing Germany into four zones,, and symbolically, dividing the capital, located in the Russian zone, in the same manner.

As disagreement arose between

the Russians and Western Allies, what we had hoped would be the eventual merger of all four parts into one country again, be-came instead the present schism between East and West Germany. Despite the hardening of feel-ings between what had become two big occupation zones, the West insisted on maintaining its sector of Berlin, and retained use of the 100-plus-mile-long corri-dor which connects the other-wise surrounded city with the rest of the Free World.

The West demonstrated its determination to keep its East Germany toehold in the Berlin Airlift of 1948, when Russia act-ed to close off Berlin to the West.

The Reds have threatened Western rights in Berlin several times since, but no second Air-lift has been necessary.

But time and technological progress have been sneaking up on Berlin. It formerly was mere-ly a place where East-West ten-, sions would boil up briefly, in skirmishes between the Allied and Russian patrols w h i c h policed the city. But today it's the scene of a "squatters' rights"

It s not dilficult, these daya, to pseudo-intellectual or an Intellectual wear a beard, smoke a pipe, be consistently articulate or mysteri-ously quiet, or permit yourself to become associated with campus arts.

This is a situation which has made things difficult, in the past, for the staff of Opus, Hope's literary-art magazine..

It seems that editors and staff members of OPUS have gener-ally come to be regarded as people who feel they have a monopoly on creativity at Hope.

Regardless of whether such a reputation was ever earned by Opus people, this year's Opus staff has determined to do what it can to alter this image in the eyes and minds of Hope students. The staff has been reorganized around a plan designed to draw more people into the organization itself, and at the same time stimulate greater enthusiasm among the students in all classes, in order to attract more poetry, prose, art and music contributions.

In place of the former system of an 'inherited'* editorship and an editor-appointed editorial board to screen contributions, a seven-member editorial board has been set up, which was elected at a meeting to which all people Interested In an enterprise such as OPUS were Invited. This board then elected Its own editor, Judson Emerlck, to assume administrative responsibility.

The Opus Editorial Board hopes that the new, more democratic system will encourage more student poets, writers, artists and com-posers to submit some of their work for possible publication in Opus, It also invites interested people to submit pieces of their work either to the board as a whole, or to individual members for com-ment and suggestions for revisions, which can then be taken care

OTHERS SPEAK To the Editor:

Well, it's back into the old groove now, social fraternity-wise: the rush season is over, pledges are made, hell week is ending; only the formal induction remains.

Before I begin let me make one thing clear that may indicate the experience upon which my judgments are based. I am a mem-ber of both a service and what may be considered a social frater-nity, and a national honor group. I have had two roommates who have joined social fraternities at Hope. I know what it is to be-long to a fraternity.

I am not against a fraternity per se. The fraternity whose pri-mary purpose is the teaching of noble ideals, or which dedicate itself to service beyond its members' personal pleasure-seeking, and at the same time satisfies its members' so-called social needs, may perform a vital function in whatever community it may find itself. Perhaps even the social fraternity serves a real function.

My objection is to the week-long session of horseplay and camaraderie-inspired barbarities known as hell week, but most specifically as it is found on a so-called Christian campus such as Hope College, Naturally, it would be wrong to assume that all the students of such a school were Christian (although many do) and consequently expect Christian actions from them. But, I do not feel in error to expect Christian actions from those who call themselves Christians, and have even indicated an intention toward its minis-try, Yet, these same people engage in hazing (let's be honest and call it what it really is), if not directly, in allowing or at least not openly objecting to i t

What's wrong with hazing? The fraternity plaims it teaches humility and a sense of brotherhood. No matter what it really teaches, it is a clear witness of man degraded physically and spirit-ually to a barbaric level which is inconsistent in our present so-ciety, The paddle swattings — yes, and we bomb Hiroshima. The burlap underwear — yes, and the Germans persecute the Jews. Barf night — yes, and the Reds brainwash. The little odd jobs — yes, and slavery still exists. The comparisons are by no means con-clusive nor are they meant to be, but I feel they are indicative of the lack of human dignity in the hazing plan

The pledge says that it is not really so bad and that it is worth it (for the social prestige, the social security, the formal, or whatever he gains from it) in the long run. This may be all well and good to the pledge himself, but what about those who look at him? And if the pledge calls himself a Christian, what can the non-Christian think?

It is difficult for me to accept Christianity as I see it manifest at Hope College, where at least part of its faculty, its administra-tion, its college pastor, and its student body could not help being aware of the hazing situation, yet can not or do not stand against it. I will be convinced that this position is wrong when I am shown that hazing is consistent with the Christian life, I will listen to any-one who can do this.

—THOMAS WOMBWELL

battle between two hostile giants, and those are atom-powered clubs they're waving.

Notwithstanding the legal or historical rights of either party, it behooves the most intelligent and most humane of the two to swallow his aboriginal pride and put a stop to the feud before those things go off and hurt somebody.

Proposition The proposition: The United

States and its allies should get out of Berlin.

Militarily Berlin is untenable. Our leaders talk bravely about the extent to which we shall "defend our rights" there, but military men aren't kidding themselves about their chances of hanging on to a city more than 100 miles behind Red lines.

Realistically, whether we like It or not, the Reds are in the saddle in East Germany. And it's understandable that they would not like a U. S. garrison smack in the middle of their country. We would look with similar dis-favor upon the establishment of Russian bases at, say, Detroit. We wouldn't regard THAT as much of an indication of peace-ful intentions on the part of our visitors; we might even feel moved to eject them.

Morale Did someone mention West

German morale? Afraid they'll go Communist, maybe?

Not long ago, a U. S. delegation was sent to Bonn to try to per-suade West Germany's leaders to have their government under-take some of the cost of main-taining U. S. military forces there. Seems we were pouring so much money into Germany to maintain our garrisons that we were losing our gold supply here. Can they doubt our practical support?

West Germany is practically the only place where there's not unemployment, but a manpower shortage. America regards a minimum of five million un-employed as a "normal" liability. How likely are people in an un-employment-iree nation, who remember their chronic economic ills of pre-Hitler and immediate postwar days, to hand over their booming industries to a govern-ment?

Embarrassment To • be sure. West Berlin is

gratifyingly embarrassing to the Communists, from our point of view, because of its economic strength. But so is the rest of West Germany, We don't have to maintain our private enter-prise showcase on enemy terri-tory at the risk of a nuclear war. ' As for guaranteeing the free-

dom of the people we have pledged to protect—offer them safe conduct out of Berlin to the West. Those who love their real estate better than their freedom can stay. It would make the Communists blush if thousands of East Germans who had been planning to bolt eventually, con-trived means to join the West Berliners in the mass evacuation to the West. If we insisted on being spiteful about it» we could dismantle West Berlin industries to transport them further west.

As for American investment in West Berlin, if our businessmen can afford to forfeit their Cuban interests so Castro can deliver the "Pearl of the Antilles^ to Khrushchev, they can afford to divest themselves of West Berlin interests for a much better rea-son.

And as for that all-important propaganda effect, clever pre-sentation of the United States' motive of a 44peace initiative" could pay propaganda dividends; the "peac^-loving" Soviet would be caught with his armor-plate trousers slipping and his dub held high in the air.

Wall Street Journal

Provides Experience

And Scholarship One hundred and forty - one

college students gained valuable on-the-job experience last sum-mer under a program sponsored by the Newspaper Fund to sti-mulate interest in journalism. More than 320 applications from 56 colleges and universities were received. The Newspaper Fund then directed students to news-papers which were willing to employ trainees for the summer months.

Taking part in this project, which is in its second year, were Hope College students. Bob Jaeh-nig and Merwyn Scholten.

The Fund, supported by grants from The Wall Street Journal, awarded each accepted applicant a $500 scholarship toward his next year's college expenses upon successful completion of the summer's work.

Bob Jaehnig, who had con-siderable previous experience as a reporter for the Holland Senti-nel, was employed by the Cleve-land Bureau of the Wall Street Journal, after the dissolvement of a tentative contract with the Detroit Free Press.

Bob found the work connected with the Wall Street Journal both different and interesting. First assigned to the News Pro-duction Desk, involving the "make-up" of news material sent from New York via teletype. Bob progressed to news report-ing. His position as reporter in-cluded • interviewing business-men, industrialists, and various spokesman for trade organza-tions. (Bob explained that find-ing a story beyond that of the public relations men was certain-ly an art.) He c i t e d the in-terviewing of Alfred E. Perlman, President of the New York Cen-tral Railroad, as a highlight of his work with the Wall Street Journal.

Bob, who is applying his $500 to his college education, is in-terested in future work with the Wall Street Journal, perhaps in one of its foreign bureaus. He is also considering teaching Eng-lish Literature on a college level.

Hope's other participant in the Newspaper Program was Mert Scholten. He had received news-paper experience while working on the weekly paper in his home-town of Sheldon, Iowa. When his application was accepted by the Newspaper Fund, he became a member of the Holland Sentin-el staff for the summer.

. As a news reporter for the Sentinel, Mert participated in the various fields of newspaper work, sports writing, police and city hall beats, editorial work, accident and fire reporting, and photography.

Mert recalls the interviewing of A. J. Foyt, winner of the "500-Mile" race, and the photograph-ing, by airplane, of a double drowning in Holland as two unique experiences.

Mert is now working part-time at the Sentinel in addition to doing news broadcasting directly for the newspaper of-fice.

Definitely convinced of the ad-vantages-of a liberal arts educa-tion, Mert is pursuing the fields of journalism, chemistry, and education at Hope College; he is presently considering entering seminary. Mert also received a $500 scholarship.

This program will again be offered during the summer of 1962.

Anyone interested in journal-ism as a career would profit from an investigation of the News-paper Fund. Under this program, undergraduates in journalism spend a summer affiliated with a newspaper,, and receive a $500 bonus in September.

CLUB & CAMPUS FASHIONS

BY 0. E. SCHOEFFLER, ESQUIRE'S Fashion Director *

With the holiday season approaching, you'll be dressing formally with increasing frequency. Let's review what's new and correct in campus formal wear so you'll be at ease and in fashion at f ra -ternity and sorority dances and at the many gala parties ahead,

YOUR JACKET'S A NATURAL... m e correct and smart silhouette for campus formal wear is the natural shoulder, single breasted dinner jacket with black satin shawl collar. The high fashion peak lapel model is also being worn by some undergraduates.

FABRICS ARE L I G H T . . . Lightweight formal wear makes sense in any season. The heavy weight, old fashioned "tux" made formal eve-nings a chore rather than a pleasure. A few hours spent dancing in stuffy, overcrowded, overheated ballrooms was enough to take the starch out of the hardiest college man. Modern, light weight fabrics have changed all that.' Dinner jackets are comfortable and going for-mal is fun. This season's favored formal fabrics will be dull finish tropical worsteds and dacron/ rayon blends.

GO VEST, YOUNG M A N . . . Just as vests have made a comeback in suits, and with sport jackets and slacks, you'll see more vests with formal attire. An elegant vest in matching or fancy fabric is just the added touch to boost your rating along sorority row. Pictured is the single breasted shawl collar vest in black with satin lapels and three buttons: it's made of dacron and acetate.

PLEATED SATIN CUMMERBUND AND MATCHING TIE are the smart formal wear accessories that will make you a standout on the stag line. Your dress shirt is either pleated bosom or plain front. Shirt studs are usually black pearl with cuff links to match..

FORMAL F O O T W E A R . . W h e t h e r your forte is the Pachanga, Charanga, Cha Cha Cha or trusty Fox Trot, you should keep • in step with black patent leather in either plain tip or slip on model. Highly polished calf skin shoes are a smart alternate. Plain black or midnight blue are the cor-rect colors in formal wear hose.

LET'S GET AWAY FROM IT ALL.. . Holiday formal wear at re-sorts is white and/or bright. The white wash and wear dinner jacket in blends of rayon and acetate or dacron and rayon is smart and practical. Styling is in the shawl collar. You can also make a colorful vacation splash in plaid cotton or batik dinner jackets.

ATHLETE'S nLn IYU FEAT

by Bob Kreonen Hope will entertain Adrian College tomorrow night in Hope's

first MIAA conference game of the 1961-62 season. Last year the Dutch split a pair of games with the Bulldogs, winning 87-72 in the first game here in Holland and losing the return match at Adrian, 64-70. Last year Adrian finished second in the MIAA with an 8-4 record while Hope tied for third with a 7-5 mark. Adrian has already lost one conference game this year, a 75-66 setback at the hands of Olivet. (Incidentally, this victory by Olivet broke their 46 game losing streak, marking their first win since the 1958-59 season. Olivet would have established a na-tional collegiate record with one more loss.)

Adrian was originally thought to be one of the better teams in the MIAA this year; however, the loss of several lettermen through scholastic ineligibility, coupled with the failure of Vince Giles to return to school this fall could ruin the Bulldogs. Giles was the MIAA's Most Valuable Player and second leading scorer last year, and his loss will undoubtedly be felt by Adrian.

If there are any skeptics who are wondering how good Hope's basketball team is this year, Wednesday night's victory over highly rated Wheaton should disspell any doubts or fears. As anyone who witnessed Wednesday's game can testify, this is a really good basketball team that should get better with every game. Although it is difficult to say how Hope will stack up against the other teams in the MIAA, it is probably safe to say that beating Wheaton (rated 14th in the first national poll) will mark Hope as a team to be reckoned with within the confer-ence. Only time will tell how Hope will fair against the tough competition that they have scheduled this year; but after two successive one point defeats, a sixteen point victory was certainly most welcome.

Hope Wins Opening Home Game;

Trounces Wheaton In 79-63 Victory by Dave Bach

Making their first home ap-pearance of the 1961-62 basket-ball season, Hope College cagers came from behind to beat Whea-ton, 63-79, last Wednesday night at the Civic Center. The victory was Hope's first this year after losing by one point to both Con-cordia Teachers College and Car-roll College last weekend. Whea-ton's loss to Hope was their first defeat after posting two initial wins for the season.

The crowd, comprised mostly of fraternity men and perennial Hope supporters, saw Wheaton set a lightening fast pace, scor-ing 13 quick points in the early minutes of the game. After Hope's defence adjusted to Wheaton's variation of the weave and pass pattern, the Dutchmen began slowly catching up to Wheaton's lead—13-6, 15-10, 17-14. Just when the Dutchmen seemed within reach, Wheaton, lead by the sensational ability of

senior guard Roger Johnson, put cn another burst of speed, out-rebounding and outpassing Hope all over the court. When Whea-ton had built up the score 26-16, Hope took a time out. Ron Te Beest, the Dutchmen's only substitute of the game, came in for Gary Nederveld at this time

Glenn Van Wieren scored on a pair of free throws for Hope after the time out, cutting down Wheaton's advantage 36-27. In a pile-up for the ball that oc-curred after the free throw, a slight rhubarb resulted because a Wheaton player continued to sit. on Hope's captain Ekdal Buys. After this Hope just came alive. Van Wieren, then Buys, Te Beest, Venhuizen, Vander Hill, and Van Wieren again.

Nederveld, back in the game for Te Beest during the second half, got things off well for Hope by pumping in 4 quick points. Johnson, Wheaton's energetic playmaker, tried to rekindle his teammates' first quarter fire by executing some fine dribbling manuevers—but failed. Hope's Nederveld, VanderHill, Venhui-zen and Buys hit at will.. Besides scoring. Buys' rebounding was terrific as he grabbed 5 succes-sive balls, both offensively and defensively. He cut the score down to 53-50 with 13:03 left in the game. Wheaton took a time-out. When they brought the ball back into action they tried a semi-stall weave pattern offen-sively which Hope's Vander Hill dramatically broke up by leap-ing high into the air to intercept a Wheaton pass. As Vander Hill brought the ball down court he was fouled. Missing the first, but making the second, Vander Hill left Wheaton with only a one point advantage, 55-54.

After another Hope steal. Van Wieren tipped in the ball after it rolled off the rim to give Hope a 55-56 lead. Van Wieren scored again to stretch Hopers lead 55-58 with 8:24 to go. Hope's re-bounding was sensational at this point. Buys, Vander Hill, and Nederveld came away with the ball after bone-crushing contact under the boards.

After an exchange of points, Hope lead by 51-61. Wheaton's Johnson, Peterson, and Gibson now hit, narrowing Hope's lead 60-62. Defensively, Nederveld rebounded beautifully, taking the brunt of flying elbows, but hanging onto the ball. Fouled, Gary put in two free throws opening Hope's lead 62-68 with 2:51 left. Venhuizen, fouled by Wheaton's Dan Parten, scored on another pair of charity shots.

With 1:30 to go in the fourth quarter, Hope took a time out with instructions to stall. Trying to get the ball, Wheaton com-mitted 8 fouls in one and a half minutes. Hope, taking advantage of the situation, went ahead 76-63 with 0:14 left to play. Climax-ing the game, Vander Hill stole the ball from Wheaton, dribbled down the floor, and dunked the basketball just before time ran out. Fouled, Vander Hill added another point to Hope's total, making the final score 63-79.
