or OLLAND, MICHIGAN

Hope College — Holland, Michigan

Hey Frosh, Pot! Hope College opened its doors for its 97th year this week with

491 new students converging on the campus. Orientation began on Sunday with a buffet dinner at noon for the new students and their parents.

A vesper service was held at 3:30 p.m. in Dimnent Memorial Chapel and a welcoming supper was served for new students and student counselors.

Monday dawned bright and warm, but in spite of the intense heat freshmen were confronted with a barrage of tests. The evening was somewhat more en-joyable for the freshmen who attended a mixer at the Civic

Center, where they were al-lowed to buy their beautiful new "pots".

On Tuesday new students took personality inventory tests, tour-ed the new Van Zoeren Library, and met with their counselors.

Freshmen registration was held on Wednesday and in the evening a formal reception in the president's home gave new students a chance to meet mem-bers of the faculty and admin-istration.

P & M Kicks Off Season With "The Grass Harp"

Palette and Masque, the dramatic society at Hope College, has announced that its first production will be Truman Capote's comedy-fantasy "The Grass Harp". The play will be staged Octo-ber 19, 20 and 21 in the Little Theater in the Science Hall.

Mr. David Karsten, Director of Theatre, said that tryouts for the play would be held Wednesday, September 13 at 7 p.m. and again on Thursday, September 14 at 4 p.m.

Hew Chapel Plan On Monthly Basis Chapel attendance this year

will be reported on a monthly basis. Following the first regular chapel exercise on Friday morn-ing, September 15, each student will receive a small "billfold size" attendance record card. This card will accomodate a record of one month. Since the academic year begins in the middle of the month, the record

for September should begin on the third line in the last column under Friday. In other words, the chapel record card should correspond with, the calendar dates each month. Cards will be presented at the office of the College Pastor, Chapel Room 15, following the last chapel service each month.

Hope Receives HCATE Approval

Garrett Vander Borgh, chair-man of the education depart-ment, announced today that Hope College has received ac-creditation by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (N.C.A.T.E.)

NCATE is an organization which seeks to set up uniform-ly high standards for teacher education, and to encourage re-cruitment and training of capa-ble young people for the teach-ing profession. There are at present 344 schools accredited and there are nineteen states in which teacher certification is automatic for g r a d u a t e s of NCATE approved colleges.

The provisional accreditation which Hope has received is good for three years and during that period carries all the privileges of full accreditation. After full accreditation each school is re-visited every ten years to make sure the standards of NCATE are being met.

Editorial

A Start Summer wanes. The landscape changes color with approaching

fall and there are the last few days at the lake. Most are ready to leave the now tiresome summer job. Smoke from burning leaves, lingering in the air signals the start of another football season. There is the anticipated joy of greeting old friends and meeting new faces. All is happiness the first days on campus. This is the beginning of the fantasy world of college.

The excitement of starting a new year settles with the passing of registration and convocation. Life focuses on the purpose of college, the refining of the rough material with which we were born. College is the time when one comes to know persons rather than personages and ideas rather than facts. These are the happiest years of our life if the opportunity is used to advantage. Welcome to Shangri la and the test of remaining. Remember independence re-

quires responsibility.

This Year Informed people are the basis for a democracy. It is the aim

of the Anchor to inform with up-to-date news through a later deadline than in previous years.

The Anchor is an expression of campus opinion which comes from the ideas of every person, however obscure and unimportant, who is willing to use his mind. It is the Anchor's challenge to in-form and express what the reader is thinking.

Specifically the Anchor will try to inform the student on cam-pus organizations, to emphasize feature articles, and to keep an eye on the national and international political scene.

The Anchor is a forum for the consideration of questions of im-portance. Your participation is welcomed.

Geneva Retreat The All-College Geneva Re-

treat will be held Friday through Sunday noon, Septem-ber 22-24, at Camp Geneva on the shores of Lake Michigan.

The retreat program will cen-ter around the theme "Give me this mountain," Joshua 12:14. The Reverend Herman Ridder, Minister of Evangelism for the Reformed Church, will be guest

speaker and the Reverend Willi-am Hillegonds, Hope Church minister, will be director of the retreat. Recreation will supple-ment the fine program.

Any college student may at-tend this retreat. The $3.00 reg-istration fee may be paid in the lobby of Van Raalte next week. Carl Benes and Marcia Meengs are co-chairmen of the retreat.

Football Outlook Hope College's Flying Dutch-

men have been working hard and long in an effort to be ready for two tough non-conference games which precede five sched-uled MIAA encounters. After two and a half weeks of prac-tice, here is the personnel out-look for 1961.

The backfield appears to be well set as Head Coach De Vette has shifted Captain Sher-wood "Sharky" Vander Woude from fullback, where he was an All-MIAA selection in 1960, to quarterback. Teaming with Van-der Woude in the backfield are two juniors, Jim Bultman at left halfback and Jim Shuck at right halfback, and senior Steve Slagh at fullback. The second

string backfield is composed of three freshmen, Cal Poppink of Hillsdale at quarterback, Jim Beckering of Fremont at left halfback, and Bill Hill of Niles at right halfback, along with junior fullback Paul Hyink.

The Dutch will probably have a brother combination at ends. Senior Dale Schoon is working at left end and junior Jon Schoon holding forth on the right side, with sophomore Ken Quakkelaar pushing both.

The competition for starting berths is fiercest at tackle where junior Ralph Jackson and two freshmen, John Stam of Holland and Bob Sftranyak of Dearborn, appear to have the inside track

over four other freshmen can-didates.

A pair of juniors, Kurt Van Genderen and Bill Byrne, are working as the starting guards with Neil Goodrich ready to take over for either.

Senior Jim Vander Weg holds forth at center with sophomore Steve Egger backing him up.

Two other upper classmen who will see considerable ac-tion on defense are senior Rich Buckley and sophomore Rog Van Noord. Two lettermen from last year, Gerry Nieusma and Bob Bonnette have sustained in-juries and will probably miss the first few games.

D r . L u b b e r s & E u r o p e Dr. Lubbers, president of

Hope College, and Mrs. Lubbers flew to Vienna, Austria on Au-gust 13 to see for the first time the Hope College Vienna Sum-mer School and to vacation. It has been over 35 years since Dr. Lubbers was last in Europe. At that time he was passing through on his way to the near East to be a missionary.

Dr. and Mrs. Lubbers spent a whirl-wind week visiting classes and absorbing the Vien-nese culture and music. The week was high-lighted for them and for the students with the Farewell Banquet at a beautiful old palace and the convocation at which Dr. Lubbers showed

his enthusiasm for the program. During the next two weeks of

independent travel by the stu-dents Dr. and Mrs. Lubbers visited Rome, Salzburg, Munich, Amsterdam, and London. They were guided by Dr. Fried, head of the history department at Hope, and Mrs. Snow who teaches German at Hope and is a mother to all the students of the summer school in Vienna.

During the final evaluation of the program in Brussels before departing for home, Dr. Lub-^ bers said with much enthusiasm ^ that this program was a fine ex-perience that all should try to take advantage of.
