On November 4th and 5th, the Association of American Colleges is presenting Samuel Dushkin, brilliant Russian violinist, in a con-cert and informal lecLu.es. The for-mal program will be given Tuesday evening, November 5th, and during his two-day visit on campus, Mr. Dushk n will lecture to the History of Music, Public School Music, am1

American citizen, Samuel Dushkin pupil of Kreisler, Remy and Aver began his concert career at the age of six. Having traveled extensive ly throughout Europe and thf United States, he has been ac claimed with universal entl.usiasrr as a master of the classics as well as an interpreter of the foremost modern works. Mr. Dus^k'n's eag-erness to add to the existing vio-lin repertory has led him to intro-duce unknown musical gems of the Seventeenth, Eighteenth, and Nine-teenth Centuries. He has collabo-rated with outstanding contempo-rary composers, such as Ravel and Stravinsky, on many of their violin compositions, having participated in the world premieres of these and other works.

Mr. Dushkin has played in all the important European capitals, both with orchestra and in recitals. He was first heard in this country with the New York Symphony Or chestra, conducted by Walter Dam-rosch. Appearances followed with the Boston Symphony under Kous-sevitsky, and the Philadelphia Or-chestra under Stokowski.

To quote the New York Herald Tribune: "A recital of taste and lyrical distinction . . . The playing of Mr. Dushkin possesses a finely drawn elegance and musical aware-ness . . . a rare and lovely feeling for nuance . . ."

Mr. Dushkin recently returned from England where he represent-ed the United States on an inter-

national music council. This council

was formed for the purpose of se-

lecting the best musical composi-

tion since the war. Manuscripls

rrom all nations were reviewed.

Mr. Dushkin'* concert program will include: Sonata in D r.iinor Brahms

President Anne Van Derveer pre-sided at a meeting October 9 in the Tri-Alpha room for the purpose of introducing new members to the club. Mr. Avison gave a reading, "Sermon on Old Mother Hubbard." A constitution for the club is being drawn up by a committee headed by Joanne Decker.

Pi Kappa Delta Plans

Many Speech Events Members of Pi Kappa Delta, Hope

College Chapter, met recently at the home of Dr. William Schrier in order to formulate plans for a Speech Rally which will take place on Wednesday, October lit).

Also discussed at this meeting were ways and means by which the attention of the Student Body might be directed toward speech activities on campus. ^ . *

Outlines have been placed on the various college bulletin boards giv-ing specific information about the Hope College Forensic Contests fo r t he year 1946-1947. Those students who are interested in speech and speech contests may have an op-portunity to consult them.

The two oratorical contests, the Adelaide Oratorical Contest f o r women, and the A. A. Raven Ora-torical for men will be held on De-cember 18. The Peace Oratorical will occur in the early part of Janu-ary. Pri tes a r e awarded to the winning contestants.

Attention, Students

The editor of the 1947 Mile-stone, Howie Koop, announces a unique but what h e hopes profitable plan f o r obtaining photographs fo r the yearbook. Instead of having a photo edi-tor, any and all students are asked to submit pictures of col-lege activities which might be used in t h e book.

These pictures could be of sports events, f ra terni ty o r so-rori ty psrtias, daily occuranees on and around campus, dorm high-lites, pictures of college buildings, etc. The Milestone will pay t h e owner from | .60 to $-1.00 per negative for all pictures used, regardless of the size of the negative.

The Milestone office is now located in the basement of Van Raalte Hall, next to the Coffee Kletz. Bring in all your pic-turast with namei aad address- on-the back, UiMiasd-piiate^will be returned. Watch the Anchor and bulletins for more details and "specialty" shots wanted.

Vets Fail to Make Acldress Changes

Failure of Michigan veterans to notify the Veterans Administration of changes of address has resulted in hundreds of subsistence checks being returned to the Treasury de-partment, it was revealed by the Veterans Administration.

Thirty-four hundred checks were returned last week alone, and with more than 50,000 ex-service men and women enrolled in schools throughout the s ta te under the G.I. bill, the figure was expected to mount. Postal laws forbid for-warding of Government checks.

Each veteran under the G.I. bill should notify the V.A. immediately of his change in address by con-tacting his V.A. training officer, or by notifying the contact officer who services the community in which he presently resides, or by writing to the Finance officer. Vet-erans Administration, Guardian Bldg., 500 Griswold Street, Detroit, Mich. The information given should include the old address, new ad-dress, claim number, and personal signature. Failure to notify the Veterans Administration immedi-ately will result in a delay in the issuance of a veteran's subsistence check.

Letters To The Editor

E d i

Open Discussions For Understanding Much has been said about the nations of the world and the

necessity of establishing some system of openly airing all international grievances. If the leaders in current problems realize the importance of frank discussions, should not we on Hope's campus also at tempt to emulate such a noteworthy idea ?

With all the sorority activities of the past few weeks, there have been many complications which could have been dis-cussed openly. The "hush-hush" and secret gripe meetings have actually accomplished little but intensify the feeling between various groups.

If the accusations were well-founded, and that may be possible, an open forum with representatives from the vari-ous organizations might possibly have ironed out many of the difficulties. Since we have always prided ourselves on being democratic and giving all a chance to make known their opinions, why couldn't the Pan-Hellenic Council have sched-uled a meeting and listened to both sides as presented by the delegates. Then there could have been action that was pointed in the right direction.

Although the situation is already a thing of the past, it, nevertheless, should not be forgotten. Plans should be dis-cussed for next year so that such a problem would not present itself again. A committee composed of sorority representa-tives, underclasswomen, and faculty might be one possible solution. Furthermore, rules and regulations tha t are made should be enforced. Law enforcement isn't always an easy job, but in order for any system to receive respect, there should be strict observance and enforcement of said rules. Possibly even this suggestion wouldn't be workable, but by combining the opinions of several, a solution might be reach in which fairness and justice were of prime importance.

The Church In Modern Society Do you hear the church criticized? Why? The church exists not only to make Christians but also to

sustain them, and to carry on ministries through which the power of God will flow constantly into the life of the world. Men have learned that through worship, prayer, fellowship and the sacraments, they come close to God. It is the place of the church to provide these facilities.

The place of the Church in modern society is down among the people, providing them with creative centers of fellow-ship and activity. It has the fai th which gives to individual men and women their value. It can under-gird human rela-tionships with the spirit of t rus t and goodwill. It has prop-erties and potential leadership to become the hub around which much community and leisure-time life revolve. I t is a world fellowship, and by emphasizing the universal aspects of its life it could send up influences which would reach to international affairs. All this it could do if it would only see its place as a creative, local fellowship.

But the place of the Chuch in modern society is not only to be found in its spiritual and community ministries. It exists to bear witness to the t ru th of God at the nerve cen-ters of modern life, a t the points where the vital economic, political, and international decisions are made which affect the welfare of the people.

There is no more mistaken or perilous at t i tude among Christians today than the claim tha t the Church should have nothing to do with economic and political questions. In a plague area, medical services are not content to grapple only with those who have caught the disease, and, having cured some of them, to send them back to an infected atmosphere,

Dear Editor:

The cry of many new students

this year, we understand, is: "Hope

would be a good school if it weren't

so steeped in tradition." We should

like to point out that most tradi-

tion s tar t for a purpose and if the

same needs which they originally

fulfilled still exist today, those tra-

ditions are worthy of being kept

alive.

Let us take, for example, the way in which the dining halls are con-ducted. Their formality has been described by some as a "rack of pain." There is another side of the story. To begin with, the average college graduate becomes a profes-sional person or, in the case of the co-ed, very likely the wife of a professional man. As such, it seems to me, an important asset to be socially as well as professionally equipped. The only way good man-ners and social poise become nat-ural under all circumstances is through constant practice so that the correct thing is the thing which is done automatically. The formal occasions cease to become a bug-bear and are enjoyed because one is a t ease.

It is tradition but it is also sim-ple courtesy that professors be treated with respect and, whether men or women, that they be al-lowed to precede male students through doorways.

Walking to the sidewalk before lighting a cigarette may be a little inconvenient to some, but the im-provement in the appearance of the campus because of the absence of cigarette butts everywhere, would seem to us to be worth the extra energy expended.

These are but a few of the tra-ditions which we hear are being scorned. Undoubtedly there are more, and some of the criticism may be just. We should like to recommend that students first think the thing through and try to dis-cover the real purpose behind Hope's traditions. If then, it is sincerely felt that changes are needed, we should like to suggest that the matter be discussed with the proper parties and ConHtructive s u g g e s t i o n s for improvement made. It is too easy to criticize, refuse to cooperate, and accomplish nothing. If Hope is the school a student is attending, it seems to in only fairness that he adjust himself to its rules and regulations and not make life miserable for those who enjoy the school and the things for which it stands.

Sincerely yours, A Hope Graduate

The Wearing of . . . Sparkle, sparkle little green, Gee, I hope we ain't seen By Upperclassmen mighty Who make us "Pot" day and

To the Editor: "Hope College is a Christian In-

stitution." This statemeflt is read by most of us on the l i terature of our college, or perhaps in some religious publication. We usually don't bother to go any fur ther into the subject. Af te r all, the meaning of this s tatement seems to be rather obvious. Apparently, Hope is one of those s t raight laced schools, a place given to the old-fashioned habits of prayer a t all times, chapel services in the morn-ing, and classes on the Bible. Af te r Enumerating all these " fau l t s " of the school we sit back and relax, unmindful of the world in turmoil around us. • Of course, if we thought of studying the matter of Christianity in schools we would come to some appalling information, theories of all the sciences are employed to prove the lack of existence of God. The Almighty is brushed aside by ambiguous and sweeping state-ments, Christianity is ridiculed as a concept of life for the masses, certainly not highly educated col-lege students. So it goes in hun-dreds of American campuses, I wonder if we'd really want such a thing a t Hope.

According to the average college, a chapel is a wonderful place, usu-ally for showing off to prospective students and rich people full of the fire and ambition of educating the masses. The chapels are in many cases imposing structures, but are they the center of campus life? They may be placed in the geo-graphic center of the college, with open doors awaiting the seekers of salvation. But their actual value is in their work for the Redeemer, and not only as a demonstration of the school's godliness, the stone blocks of which correspond very roughly with the hearts of its members.

We should try and understand the purposes behind such an insti-tution as ours. The profit motive, which drives most colleges on to their goals, is not to be found. The fundamental purpose today is the same as that of fifty years ago, and God grant that it may remain the same as long as there are believers of His Holy Word here in the New World. Our doctrines are elemen-tally the same as those of the early Christian reformers. We don't change our views from season to season as those enemies of ours who would destroy the finest in our lives. Yet we love those who hate us, even those tormentors and per-secutors of ours who delight in practicing the word of Evil and darkness.

There is a fundamental purpose in our lives. Hope is the ideal loca-tion for finding out about the Sal-vation of our Redeemer. Take it on your shoulders to know more about your Master. In doing this our school loses the flippant and often evil attitudes of so many others. Our Master would have us follow in His footsteps. I thank God that our School is well on the right path, following Him, who gave us life.

claiming tha t the hardy ones ought to survive. They seek the putrid drains and the foul swamps which are the cause of the trouble. The Church also must see that it has a two-fold fight on its hands — to change men and to change the environment in which they must live. To deny the second of these tasks is to be guilty of a heresy as serious as any the Christian can commit. It is time the Church branded it for the distorted lie tha t it is. There is no point in the organ-ization of society a t which the Church should not be present.

It is not a dormant, authoritarian position in the life of the State tha t the Church claims. But, rather, the task of the Church is to bring the insights which come to it f rom its doctrines, its understanding of God, of human nature, of human destiny to bear on the problems and the nature of society. It must tell men that there is an eternal r ight to which the policies of states no less than individuals must conform. It must fight injustice and wrong wherever they are to be found, and must t h i i k in terms of the poor and the weak ra ther than of the rich1 and the strong. In a word, it must measure the affairs of earthly kingdoms by the standard of the Kingdom of God.

It is because the Church has too often remained stationary while society has moved that it has in part lost its place in the modern world. The church has its place —a central and indispensable place —in modern society, but it must, by its own strength, claim it. , R. l . H.

H a p ? A m b a a s a b o r s Last year through the medium of the "Anchor" and the eyes of our

veterans we explored some portion of the globe in each succeeding issue. It is planned to continue this feature this year through the courtesy of our two, old, fa i thful "stand-bys." In our present day world where we hear much of United Nations, International cooperation, and "One World" it is essential tha t we as the citizens of these United States learn to understand and appreciate other peoples, their problems, viewpoints, and aspirations.

Veteran Recalls Visiting Parliament Lambert Ponstein . ,

Some months ago I stood in f ron t of Westminster Palace, home of the British Parliament, chatting with a London Bobby. London B i b l e s . given an attentive ear love to talk. In the twenty minutes or more that I spent with him, I found that he was as fine a perambulating his-torian as one would ever have the good for tune to meet. He gave me a complete resume of the revolution that finally led to the execution of Charles the First. It was with a sense of pride that he told me that all these things with the exception of a few minor details had happened on this very corner. I wasn' t too certain about his assertions, but I did know that in these legislative halls had been born many of the freedoms tha t we have today. I believe he appreciated my close attention and interest and so informed me of the best spot to see the members of Parliament and the Government arrive.

I hurried over and found a number of American officers looking for the same opportunity. Among the members of Parl iament who arrived for the session was one who had been a Military Attache in Washing-ton. He probably was well acquainted with the insatiable desire of Americans to do some sight-seeing and on short order secured for us entrance tickets to the day's session.

At eleven o'clock all visitors, guards, and members in the building were called to attention and with age-old tradition, the Speaker's Mace was carried into the house and placed on the Speaker 's table. This is the official signal that the House is in session.

Since the Commons chamber was bombed and totally destroyed, the members have been meeting in the room formerly occupied by the House of Lords. It is not a large room — perhaps not longer than the width of Graves Library and less than half its width. It is extremely ornate with all the fixtures a deep red. At one end is a small gallery able to accommodate not more than seventy-five people. In f ron t of this is the pressbox and on each side of the room is a narrow balcony, . the size of a cat-walk, which is reserved for visiting dignitaries. A heavy red rug, some ten feet wide, stretches down the center of the chamber, and on either side red leather benches rise in ascending order much like bleachers. To the Speaker 's right are seated the members of the majority party and to the left those of the opposition. Members of the government sit on the first bench to the Speaker's right. Seats are assigned on the basis of seniority and this arrangement has led to the designation of new members as "back benchers."

Members always enter the chamber from the f a r side of the Speaker and upon entering or leaving bow to the Speaker. The rug which separates the two sides of the house has a border a little over a foot wide and members addressing the House are not allowed to overstep this border. This custom has its roots in the days when gentlemen carried swords and were prone to prick their opponent in the heat of debate. By keeping each side within its own border, the opposition was certain of being out of range of the would-be fencer.

Members of the House of Lords are not allowed on the floor of the Commons chamber. Ever since the days of the Revolution the door has been barred to the Peers. Even today, the emissary of the House of Lords, who is known as the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, when delivering a message, has the door barred to his knock and iden-tifies himself by the above title. Democratic gains which have become priceless and valuable through centuries of conflict with the monarchy are thus kept in constant remembrance.

Perhaps one of the finest aspects of the British Parl iamentary system is its thoroughly democratic method of having the members of the government appear on the floor to give an account of their stewardship. This is real town-meeting style. Questions are handed in at a previous session and visitors receive a detailed program of what will be done at the day's session. Small details which may involve the well-being of only a few are discussed in such periods of questioning as well as great matters of state.

On the day that I saw the House in action, Winston Churchill was being questioned by an elderly MP of the opposition party. He shook his cane at the then Prime Minister and thus symbolized in a visible way that Britain expects action f rom its public servants tha t will stand up under a few searching questions.

When members are in particular agreement with some pert inent statement, they show their assent by crying "hear ," "hear." This is much like a resounding "Amen" in one of our churches.

The procedure of enacting a bill is for the most par t congruent with that of our Congress.

Like our own Congress, the British House draws its membership from all walks of life. We Americans have always tended to criticize the English. I found them to be a fine people of great moral s t rength. Certainly a great Empire could not have been built without grea t men. British democracy is still a vital fac tor in our world and its people a bulwark for freedom.

For the benefit of the thundering herd (the freshmen, that is), this column deals merely in the non-sensical division of the music de-partment . If you hear anything funny going on — just let us know. We like to laugh once in awhile, too.

There are so many organ stu-dents this year, even the organ's get t ing tired. Auntie Esther is having an awful time t ry ing to find her own shoes under the organ bench before 8 A.M. She has to get over to the chapel by 5 in the morning — or she hasn't a chance!

You've heard of the Women's Glee Club. Well, the fellows have m singing organization now alio.

Prof . Cavanaugh always lets them

out early, so they can come up-

stairs and get practical experience,

by listening to the girls. I guess

the new members of the club didn't

realize it is a language club, too.

They've got the Glee Club singing

"Wilhelmus" again — tha t good

old Dutch fellow, something like Uncle Sam. That ' s one way of becoming a linguist!

The choir is going to don robes each morning by and by. Tha t will make the group more unified and is also good f o r late risers. They can come in pa jamas! !

The voice students drove Miss Lichty out of her conferences, prac-ticing in the basement of Voorhees Hotel. So they moved out. Now Miss Lichty's moving out. Where is everybody going?

The music department is running i ts own concert series this year. With all this ta lent on campus — we bring something in f rom out-side? There will be three organ recitals, a piano recital, and sev-eral voice recitals. And this i s n t nonsense. -

Sophs, Frosh To Struggle

In Pull Across Black River It is a cold Fall afternoon, and

from across the river sweeps a keen, cutting wind, bearing upon its blustery chest, the age-old chant

of "heave-ho," heave-ho." Thus it

is that we know the time has come once again for that battle of Ti-ans, that epic of endurance and stamina, the Jop.i-Frosh pull.

Throughout the history of Hope College, there have been many pulls, each as individual and dif-ferent from the last as night. »iui day. This year will be no excep-tion. When the start ing gun sounds on the afternoon of October twenty-fifth, thirty-six young hus-kies will leap into action. O n c e again, this classic, which nighlights the traditional rivalry between the Sophomores and Freshmen, will take its place in the many activities which tell of the passing of another Homecoming.

The Frosh squad, under the able tutelage of "Con" Vander Woude, promise to do or die for their cause, which, if they win, will exempt them from potting to the Sopho-mores. The Sophomores, under the equally able coaching of A1 de Voogd, are the underdog this year, as the Frosh have a vast numerical superiority to their advantage. However, as in any other sport, upsets can and will happen. The mere thought of losing this all important event, and the privilege of receiving the graceful curtsies and sweeping bows from the hum-ble Frosh, is beyon I the realm of any Soph's imagination.

On hand to inspire the men of their respective teams, will be two groups of fair young lassies from both classes. They will aid their teams in every way possible, fur -nishing oranges and lemons to quench thirst , and wiping the fe-vered brows of the contestants.

Both teams will do their utmost to drag the other down in defeat into the cold, murky depths of Black River, and this year, as al-ways, we should se? a battle royal.

Blocker Addresses Pre-Sem Students

"Alpha Chi" held its first meet-ing on Monday, October 21, at 7:30 P.M. Dr. Simon Blocker of West-ern Theological Seminary spoke on the subject, "The Call to the Chris-tian Ministry."

New members were received and the Alpha Chi pledge was admin-istered by the Rev. Paul E. Hin-kamp, faculty advisor. Alpha Chi is a fraterni ty of pre-theological students who plan to enter the Christian ministry, mission fields, or some other phase of full-time Christian work.

At the monthly meetings, talks on preparation for carrying out the Christian ministry are given by people who are experienced in Christian work. "Alpha Chi" stands for two Greek words meaning "messengers of Christ."

Four Students Speak For Community Chest

Dr. William Schrier, chairman of the Speaker's Bureau of Holland, has announced that four Hope stu-dents have represented the college feelings toward contributing to the Holland Community Chest by speaking to several local organi-zations.

Miss Kay Steketee spoke to the Merchants Association; Miss Carol Prigge appeared before the Van Raalte PTA; Miss Betty Timmer spoke to the Kiwanis Club and is also speaking to the Woman's Lit-erary Club; and Miss Isla Vander Heuvel will talk to the Century Club.

Dr. Schrier feels that work such as this is beneficial not only to the cause which the students repre-sent, but also aids them in acquir-ing practical outside speech experi-ence.

Our mothers must have been

hardy souls indeed. Should one

delve into the ancient history of

Hope College traditions, he would

find the Nykerk Cup Contest rank-

ing high in the hearts of all Hope-ites. What has this to do with our mothers being hardy souls? — read on, Macduff, read on.

A number of years ago, the men of the Sophomore and Freshman classes respectively, were in eager preparation fo r the annual Soph-Frosh pull, a tradition we know today, and one envoking much ri-valry between the two claases. The pull waa run off as scheduled. U . " V * quick victory for one of the t^am in itMl/. would have b»»B all right, save w . f # t t o r

the men had overlookadL U aaeua. ^ as though the feminina aggrega-tion which had been assembled to cheer the men on to victory had been very disappointed at the ease with which the battle was won.

The fa i rer sex held a council of war, and demanded that they, too, be given a chance to display their class spirit, teamwork, and their Amazonian biceps. A mediator in the form of Dr. Nykerk then inter-vened before open hostilities ran rampant, and laid before the femi-nine portion of the student body, his plan for a contest, which, while not so strenuous as the pull, would serve as an end for working off any excess class spirit the girls might have and offer something unique in the way of inter-class rivalry.

Dr. Nykerk's plan was this, the Sophomore and Freshman classes each year would present the best each class could offer in three lines, acting, oratory, and music. In Dr. Nykerk's plan it was stipulated that advisors could be chosen for the freshmen from the Junior class, and for the sophomores from the Senior class. Coaches from the Freshman and Sophomore classes would be chosen to supervise and egg their teams on to victory.

Dr. Nykerk went still fu r ther and donated a cup upon which the name of the winning claa^ was to be engraved. Thus it was that the Nykerk Cup . Contest capw to be, and this year, as in so many other years, the Monday night preceding Thanksgiving will, under the able chairmanship of Louise Ter Beek, see the culmination of much h a r d work by the girls of the Fr^ahmao and Sophomore classes. The claas chairmen are : Glenna Gore, senior; Milly Vermaire, junior; Marie But-tlar, s o p h o m o r e ; K r o n e n d o n k , freshman.

; .The faculty members who will judge the contest are: Mr. Robert Cavanaugh, m u s i c department; Rev. Bastian Kruithof, Eagliah de-partment; and Mr. Edward Avison, speech department. The program will begin at 7:30, but the place has not yet been decided.

DORIAN

The beauty of friendship within and without the sorority was the basis of Marian Korteling's wel-come speech to the new members of Dorian Society. Enlarging upon and explaining the other par ts of the creed, she stressed t n e

Arrangements were made for the alumnae Homecoming luncheon to be held Saturday, October 20, in the Dutch Mill Restaurant. Also the traditional "secret sisters" were drawn for, so that each member will be remembered on her birth-day and the holidays of the coming year.

A few minutes later the group reassembled for d i n n e r at the Warm Friend Tavern. Following this, the members attended the theatre.

Ladies and Gentlemen!!! We now present to you the latest design in :olumn headings. This, my friends, comes from the master-mind and hand of Snappo Van Tamelin. It 's new — it's soo ultra modern. The eyes and ears of Hope introduce to you the famous words — "lTp And Atom."

Each l i t t l e l i n e h a s it's own meaning. The formula E = Me- is Einstein's fundamental equation, Bnergy = mass plus velocity of light squared. The rays the formula flfives off* represent energy. The collection a t the right depicts an atom with n •' The pendicular dash combines with the nucleus to make an excla-mation point. The lines running across the page signify progress. The whole thing combines to give you tantalizing, sizzilating, perku-lating news.

Right in the middle of this fourth busy, busy, week on the Hope Col-lege Campus, w o n ' t y o u t a k e a "little minute" ( q u o t e , unquote Mary Young) off and sit yourself down on t h e ice cold s t e p s of Graves L i b r a r y a n d read what "your'H truly" has to say about the KampuH Kids.

Frankly, the best thing that the Administration has done to date, was this latest abolition of classes because they said our education was interfering with our Social life. Nice thought, anyway; I get one dollar for trying.

ToDoris Opie goes the special citation for this week. Action be-yond thje call of duty. At every meal — breakfast too yet — that B irl is in there pitchin', looking out for everyone and my but it does keep her busy, too.

Bunny Goff and B. J. Clemmens got a head s tar t on the homecom-ing crowd by visiting a week early. Kinda think they were glad to be back too!! "Hope actually grows on you!", they both screamed in unison. Any addition or correc-tion? Yes, I think it must be a

pretty heavy load what with the addition of all these brown brick barracks and ice cream now in the Koffee Kletz. Speaking of the Kof-fee Kletz, ( this is a little f ree pub-licity, Nellie Mae) that 's where the elite meet to eat, greet, and then seat themselves around the lovely yellow tables. Of course, I'm a t one table and everyone else is in the other room. Mr. Vriesman makes his daily visitation while Harriet Muyskins rings up the cash reg-ister. Is the a n s w e r "Yea" or "Nay", Harr ie t? Some lay Tea, and Mnme **7, and I e*y IM better go on with this.

Af t e r many deep consultations, it was decided by a majority vote to include in this column four very worthy f r e s h m a n girls. To Pat Aspenwald, Pat Letz and the Baker twins, we direct the $64 question? ? Doesn't green match the color of your eyes or don't you just appre-ciate the bonnet?

And to the so-called "Jewish-Sect" from the "T" barracks who occasionally sit at table 5 in Voor-hees Hall, I would like to suggest that "thank you" and "please" are in both languages. Holly, my mot-to's "Expectation is half the joy of realization," Holleman has finally recovered enough from her cold to accept callers or is the singular preferred here.

Casual comments c o n c e r n i n g Campus Celebrites. To Mr. Bob Resch When the student guide is issued, why don't you try going down the list alphabetically and quit w e a r i n g out the Voorhees Buzzer? To Mr. Charles Neuton, Weekends at Hope are exciting. Try one when you have the time. To Anyone Concerned, With the pay telephone, the latest income source of V o o r h e e s Hall, why doesn't some ingenious individual install a t o l l g a t e in f r o n t of Graves. Another way to work your way through college. And To Herk Buter, the secret pass word . . .

A full schedule of rush week ac-tivities filled the agenda for Emer-sonian this past week. Saturday night, October 12, found the Emer-sonians and their guests around a huge beach fire. Under Alfy Van-der Waa's able hand, a successive mixture of beach party activities followed, including a feas t on those scarce items — hot dogs.

The final get-acquainted meeting of rush week found the site of the meeting again moved — this time in the Lit Clubrooms. A serious note was in the air as the age old battle between the East and West was again fought. Neither side pro-duced a victory, but the battle ground proved entertaining to all present.

In addition to these rush week activities, plans were laid for wel-coming the alumni and helping Hope make a real success of her fllbt poSt-War Homecoming.

At the M a r q u e e last Friday evening, the Cosmopolitan f r a t e rn -ity held a banquet for approxi-mately sixty r u s h e e s . Harland Steele acted as Emcee for the evening, while Roy Davis offered prayer, before the banquet.

Following the dinner. President Claire Van Liere welcomed the group with appropriate remarks. Firs t on the program was versatile Don Jalving accompanying himself in two solo selections, "The World is Waiting For the Sunrise," and "I'll See You Again." A serious paper, "Cosmopolitan Ideals" was presented by George Dykstra.

"Emcee" Steele gave forth with the humour for the evening with "College and Associated Nonsense." Bob Scheerhorn led the group in sinking "Hail to The Orange," and thus closed an evening of entertain-ment and Cosmopolitan fellowship.

Pucka Patter Roomie and us hunted about for

an appropriate name to christen this little column. We just had to appear cleaver (cutt ing word), so struck upon " P u c k a , " m e a n i n g " e x a c t " and "Patter" meaning "patter" . . . look it up in any pulp dictionary. We're gonna talk about lots of t r i te and inconsequen-tial matters, so lend an ear and you two (too) may hear about the birds and the bees, the Tulips, and lesser flowers!

Oh F r a b j o u s d a y , now that things are settled and it takes only ten minutes to get from VanRaalte to Science Building, we would like to mention a few of the things that are going to make Hope College more hopeful during these trying times. The spirit around these ivy-covered halls is taking a definite turn for the better.

Miss Obumglobum tells us there were around seventy-five signees for o u r p r o p o s e d college band. That, friends, is wonderful; yes it is! We last had a musical aggrega-tion back in 1940. They played not-too-loudly, which is understandable in view of the fact that they were a mere baker's dozen. But, out of seventy-five, we should get at least f i f ty good tooters and bangers and clangers and holders of base drums. . . . Anyways, best of luck to our new band.

And speaking of music (which is what we hope we were speaking of ) , a certain member of the Music Department mentioned the preg-nant possibility of a listening room for lovers of the classical stuff. We don't know what is being done about it, but it is needed and would get fine support.

Enough of t h i s campaigning. This column is supposed to be hum-orous. . . . Purely theoretical, of course. (Freshmen - "Theoretical": A more or less plausable or scien-tifically acceptable general princi-ple offered to explain phenomena.")

Temple dining hall . . . someone sneezed! The building shook ami students wiped the dew from their dishes. People in the old world are famished for a good deluxe schmor-ges-borgue so we shouldn't feel so badly if all we have to do is gag occasionally. It is rumored that the administration bought a herd of baby beef — a small herd. They're saving it for w h e n m e a t gets

scarce! Veal (get the pun . . , yak, yak!) that 's what we heard. That kadoobadab they have a t noon is just chucked full of great-big muscular vitamins, fortified! Re-minds us of the sawdust prepara-tion they gave us y e a r s p a s t : "Dehydrated, f o r t i f i e d , instant-c o o k i n g , n u t r i t i o u s , navy-bean soup." Doesn't that make your di-gestive glands just ooze all over? ?! Seriously, t ry the cuisine a t any other college and you'll see what a grand job they're doing here.

Frat and soror ( that 's short for "sorority") rushing and pledging and general confusion is upon us. Rushing week is the time when Freshmen smile at the "Greeks" and if the "Greeks" like them, they smile back and buy the Frosh a coke and buddy-buddy with him (or her) , and Professors assume a sar-donic sneer and plow-up some fer-tile quizzes to confuse the general situation. Then there's a two-dny period of cool silence when back-slapping is prohib ted and everyone has to buy his (or her) own ire cream o n e . Bids go out. and buds come in, and things settle-back to normal aftor a short fortnight.

The accepted manner of greeting at Hope, donr F.osh, is, when en-counter" 1 by a fellow intellectual ( ? ) , to -ivn-forth with a guttural-nasal "Hi!" The countersign is lik v wise — "Hi!!" There is never any excuse for failure to acknowledge this airy greeting. He (or she) who does not is classed forever as an old fuddy and almost immedi-ately a r m p r ^ .*> " rep" (not "Re-publican," dope!). ' nd by all means show those pear ' - incisors. Re-member now, cliiUlren, cheer is the by-word, and always flit about like a ballet dan" r '••"th appendicitis. . . . . "Hi!"—; say it over to your-self a hundr^l tonight!

i Enough of this. M u s t take a bath for that late; you know . . . "Remove l!.? goo, Improve the go."

M.E.A. President Believes Youth In Nation to Be Better Prepared For Life Than Previous Generations

foc.Csc

It was a cold day in October by a small Michigan river. Very cold,

that is, for members of the sophomore class who were unfortunate

enough to have been pitted against that famous and fabulous class of

'50 in the annual rope-pulling contest at Hope.

This will be the account of the famous classic read by us old Hope-

ites long af ter the shivers and embarrassments of the sophomore class

of '49 have become history.

Speaking for those loyal and true members of the frosh aggregation who are confident of victory over the "Po t" conscious sophs, you will

find that on the D-Day there will probably be "A Hot Time in the Old

Town Tonight," but we must exclude the class just ahead for if they

neglect to bring towels, blankets, and extra britches the campus infirm-ary can look forward to numerous cases of lumbar and bronchial pneumonia.

I just wonder whether the fish are going to appreciate this intrusion upon their habitat by the unfortunates. Guess a few more suckers in the stream won't hurt much, will it, you poor, soon-to-be-all-wet, sopho-mores ?

Grammar Grievances

There are many things I do not

understand and I probably never

will, but one of my most compli-

cated subjects is English grammar.

Have you ever noticed the incon-

sistency of English grammar? For

example, I shall take the degrees

of comparison. If the regular de-

gree is "some," the comparative de-

gree is "more," and superlative de-

gree would be "most"; however, if

I say, "my brother is handsome,

my sister is handmore, but my cou-sin is by f a r the handmost," the teacher considers me ignorant; or, if he asks me to compare the word "beautiful," he marks me zero if I reply, "Beautiful, be-more-utiful, be-most-utiful." 10

And then there are the trials and tribulations of TENSES. For in-stance, why isn't the future of "he drinks," he is drunk? Thirdly, is the case of SINGULAR and PLUR-ALS. If "forget-me-not" is singu-lar, the plural should be "forget-us-not." Hut I am told the English grammar di f fers slightly. There are so many things to learn!

There also is the case of GEN-DER. I reasoned, if masculine is man, and feminine is woman, then neuter must be corpse; but this too, I am told is erroneous. Finally, there are OBJECTS; direct object indirect object, object of preposi-tion, object of infinitive, object of this, and object of that — naturally I thought the object of "he" was "she."

My good friend Webster related to me that grammar is the "science treating of the classes of words their inflections, and their syntacti-cal relations and functions; also the phenomena with which this science deals." It is a "manner of speaking or writing with reference to gram-matical rules." And the rules, my friends, are what appear to be un-ruly. T h e E n g l i s h language is much too difficult for a person like me to understand, so:

Ah I was laying on the green, A small English book I seen Carlyle's essay on Burns was

the edition So I left it lay in the same

position. And thus, I shall leave English

grammar!

"Our educated American youth

who won the fighting war can also

win the fight fo r a better world,"

believes Lee B. Durham, who took office July 1 as president of the Michigan Education Association, the state organization numbering 31,000 teachers and school admin-istrators. Mr. Durham, having a great faith in the privilege that is afforded our youth in attendance at American schools and colleges, predicts that this nation will bene-fit greatly from its investment in public education — because the youth are better prepared than any previous generation. The M.E.A. president speaks from the view-point of one who taught social sciences for fifteen years in a De-troit high school before becoming assistant director of adult educa-tion.

Mr. Durham says our youth are better prepared because of this education. They are more tolerant, broadminded and have been given opportunity for developing leader-ship traits. They know how to work together and how to base judgment on facts acquired. The youth have facts, skill, great en-3rgy and vision!

Throughout this year the M.E.A. hopes to help the public to under-stand the problems and needs of education so that the public may decide on the type of education they want to support. The home and the community are also shar-ing in the education of the boys and girls and are responsible for the kind of young citizen the high school and college turn out.

In this day of str ife and stress «vhich Mr. Durham believes to have arisen from ignorance, our youth need to have an education which will make them more creative, more helpful and useful to themselves and society as a whole. The school aids in promoting an efficient use of leisure time.

Adult education and its needs must be met by the schools of the country. Young adults who do not go to college deserve the oppor-tunity to continue their social and intellectual growth. An effective adult education program is not necessarily dependent on huge sums of money raised locally. "People will afford," says Mr. Durham, "an adult education program to the extent that they really desire it ."

Mr. Durham is weii qualified for his test as president of the M.E.A. as he was assistant director of adult education for Detroit public schools since August, 1945. He is a graduate of Duke University. He served the M.E.A. as a member of its Board of Directors and as a member of its publications and its finance and membership commis-sions.

HOPE ELEVEN LOSES FIRST GAME Kaioo Wins Ml A A Game 13 - 0; i

Drops Dutchmen To Fifth Place The Hornets of Kalamazoo rudely buzzed the Hope Dutch-

men off their austere perch last Saturday before a large Homecoming crowd at new Angell field. From the opening whistle to the final gun Bob Nulf s boys were the aggressors, pitching the local lads about and taking no quarter in return.

Statistics usually tell the tale and Saturday was no excep-tion. Kazoo chalked up 13 first downs, holding the Dutch to five; they completed 1 of 3 passes while Hope's aerial attack, usually average, was good for only 24 yards, and 2 of 16

completed. So the final score of 13-0 subs tant ia ted the facts .

Kazoo Scores in Second

The first q u a r t e r was slowly played, with final nod fo r pe r fo rm-ance probably to Hope, due largely to a couple of neat runs by Bob Emory . It was r igh t a f t e r the s t a r t of the second f r a m e tha t t rouble loomed its ugly head. Kazoo began a touchdown march on their own 15-yard line and went the distance, chalking up 5 first downs in the process. ShopofT, Reed and Naw-rot, the three muske teers in the Hornet backfield, ripped and cut their way through the holes in the Dutch line and moved the ball to the 35 before t ak ing to the air . Their first pass was successful , a beauty f rom Flowers to Walker to the 5. Reed tumbled over, the con-version was wide and Kazoo led (1.0. The second period ticked

away scoreless. Late in the thi rd f r a m e the Cel-

ery City lads began their final touchdown march, s t a r t i ng on their own 40. Reed and Nawrot , behind beautiful blocking, went gal loping down the turf f o r four successive first downs to the Dutch 15. The old S ta tue of Liberty, good fo r a gain in any game, was good enough for a touchdown in this one a s Shopoff went the 15 to the up-rights. Reed's conversion was per-fect and Kazoo moved out in f r o n t

13-0.

Hope Threatens , Fumbles

Hope threatened early in the final f r a m e but a costly fumble on the Hornet 25 stopped the march.

Kazoo was a powerhouse in Sat-urday 's game. They chalked up 188 yards on rushing, 32 on passes. Hope had 65 and 24. They played smar t football, us ing all of Hope's weaknesses to an advantage . Tom Shopoff, out of the lineup in all of Kazoo's former games , was defin-itely in Sa turday , spark ing the Hornet backfield, while Dick Tack-et t , Hornet center , proved his worth as 1942 U. of Indiana s t a r t e r .

Alma Co l lege Ekes O u t

14-13 W i n O v e r A lb ion

Alma College edged Albion 14 to 13 Sa turday in an MI A A clash be-fore 2,000 spectators . Halfback Max Tullis scored both Alma touch-downs, the first on a four-yard plunge in the initial period and the second on a five-yard smash in the last quarter .

Jack Temple converted b o t h points, his second and winning kick str iking the crossbars before it dropped over f o r the score.

Albion, which spotted Alma 7-0 lead, tied the score up in the first quar te r on a pass f rom Isaac to Fles and Oakes kicked the ex t r a point.

The Britons moved into a 13-7 lead in the second period, as May-nard Clark broke loose on an 82-yard scoring j aun t . Oakes ' a t -tempted placement was wide and Alma struck back short ly there-a f t e r to win the game. The score:

Hope Eleven Faces

Strong Alma Team

Come Saturday p.m. On Sa turday a f te rnoon Hope's

football team will be up aga ins t

the defending champions of the

M.I.A.A. Alma, who is under-ra ted

by many, is definitely a high rank-

ing conference power. She took the

t i t le back in 1942, the last regular

season before the war in te r rupted .

Steve Sebo is put t ing in his first yea r as Alma 's football coach. He was a s ta r halfback a t Michigan S ta te for three years and has sev-eral years ' experience a s a high

school coach.

Alma Uses Single Wing

Alma, in contrast to Hope, exe-cutes all of her plays f r o m the s ingle wing formation. She em-phasizes nei ther running nor pass-ing but uses both freely. S p e e d seems to be the key to her o f fense .

Alma, with seven fo rmer let ter men bolstering her squad, will be capta ined by full back, "Bucky" Wal te rs . He will be h i t t ing the line with ail of his 210 pounds. Calling s ignals will probably be Max Tul-lis, f a s t runn ing hal fback. Max is p laying his third year on Alma 's vars i ty . Ar t Teixeira is Alma's best passer and will no doubt have a chance to prove it before the g a m e ends Sa turday . Mike Budge and Ken Corbin a re backs also

wor th watching. Ypsi Bows to Alma

Alma looked very good in her opening 26-0 victory over Adrian. In her next game she bowed to a s t rong Michigan Normal t eam 6-0. However, it was the four th period before Normal finally broke the

scoreless t ie.

Most of the last ten Hope-Alma games have been very close. Neith-er team has won by more than 13 points. Of those ten games Alma took six, Hope took one, and three

ended in ties.

B Team Loses To Percy Jones

In an af ternoon g a m e a t For t

Custer Wednesday, October 16, the

Hope college B team was overpow-

ered by Percy Jones eleven 28-6.

It was the first game for the Hope-

ites and the second fo r the soldiers

as the GI 's piled up first down a f t e r

first down on deceptive pass plays.

It was Bob Fowler and Johnny

Green who spelled out de fea t for

the locals as they showed thei r

collegiate and professional skills.

Fowler, fo rmer Universi ty of Cal-

ifornia Negro halfback, s c o r e d

three touchdowns and plowed over

fo r one ex t ra point. Green on the

other hand is a pro gr idder each

week-end and holds rank of pri-

va te a t Percy Jones the res t of

the week. Passes f rom Fowler to

Green, who played end, accounted

fo r and set up the s t age for sev-

eral tallies.

Hope's only touchdown came in

the third quar te r when N e l s o n tossed two passes, one going f rom the GI 35 to the 2-yard line where several line bucks fai led and Nel-son again took to the a i rways to F a h a r for the tally. Davis a t t empt -ed the ex t ra point but fai led.

Ear ly in the game a Hope punt was blocked in the end zone and a soldier fell on it fo r a sa fe ty . The Hollanders threatened at l e a s t three t imes more when they were stopped on the 2 or 3-yard line.

Al though it was Hope's first game, the line played well and Percy Jones made very little ground through the Dutch forward wall.

The locals used both the T for-mation and the single wing fo rma-tion sh i f t ing from the T. The fac t t ha t there were only 15 yards penalized agains t the soldiers, indi-cates a clean contest.

Nyenhuis played a smar t game at tackle on Hope's line as he matched resources aga ins t Green, the pro boy, who, according to Nyenhuis , "h i t s like a ton of bricks." De Witt was also out-s t and ing on the line while Zwemer took the bulk of the backfield, of-fensively fo r Hope.

Dutch Defeat J.C. In Bruising Game

Add ano ther bat t le s t a r in the

orange and blue victory ribbon of

the Hope College Dutchmen by vir-

tue of their bruising 20-0 win over

a fighting Grand Rapids Jun ior Col-

lege eleven. This victory made it

four s t r a igh t for the Dutch. How-

ever, it was a costly one, fo r the

Jaycees went all the way in this

ball game. Ar t Timmer came out

with a broken nose, Russ De Vette

with two teeth missing and Russ

Norden with three teeth well loos-

ened.

Hope took to the a i r fo r all three

touchdowns, thei r running game

being pre t ty well throt t led. Af t e r

Timmer had picked 17 yards to

the Jaycees 12, Nick Yonker passed to Don Schr iemer in the zone fo r the first score. Higgs ' kick was bad. Hope threa tened again in the first half but the gun sounded with the ball on the Grand Rapids three-yard line.

Vern Kraai scored the second touchdown ear ly in the fou r th quar-ter , t ak ing a 20-yard pass over his shoulder f r o m Yonker. This cli-maxed a sustained drive of 71 yards with Bob Emory and Bob Van Dis ca r ry ing the mail. Higgs ' kick was perfec t , making it 13-0.

The last touchdown came soon a f t e r this with an interception of a Jaycee pass. Roy Zwemer went 25 yards in two plays and then De Vet te passed fo r twelve yards to Ha rv Buter in the end zone. Higgs again split the upr ights .

Hope completed 11 -out of 26 passes and made 11 first downs to the Grand Rapids total of 2 out of 11 passes completed and 5 first downs.

PERFECT D I A M O N D S

Scoop With Koop A very noticeable f ac t a round the campus is the intense in teres t

t aken by the s tudent body as a whole in sports . Ask almost any one the respective position of MIAA t e a m s in the conference and they can tell you; they also know Big Nine positions, a re im-pressed with the need f o r be t te r faci l i t ies f o r c a r ry ing out the spor t s p rogram on the campus , and even t h a t St . Louis won the World Ser ies in seven games . Not only men, but women, which is not unique, but uncanny. I managed to corral a youthful , vigorous, bubbling f r e s h m a n , took her down to the Model fo r a coke. Before I had a chance to ask her her name, she had to get back and watch the boys practice foo tba l l ! Since then I've found out her name. Such is the s t a tu s quo, and it is a wonderfu l thing,

we th ink. Dr. Osterhaven is a rabid football f an . He even managed to

ge t ou t on the field and pitch a few with his son David, who, by the way, decided this week he was ext remely interested in t r a ins , causing the good Dr. many hours of worry and searching.

I t seems this happens every year with every spor t . Some girl is unofficially elected, chosen, picked, p ro t ruded into or self-appointed queen, champ booster or some silly t i t le . Remember Bobbie Bil-ke r t last winter and s p r i n g ? Bucketball babe. So now the foot-ball fol lowers come th rough , and in my h u m b h est imat ion it would be Pa t Letz. H u r r a h ! Pigskin Pa t . . . .

So the Dutch dropped thei r first game, which is rough; it should have happened in Grand Rapids to the J .C. eleven which is not a conference club. We think the boys will bounce back hard Sa tu rday aga ins t Alma, and I still pick Kazoo fo r the champion-ship. I wonder if anyone else has observed tha t our lads a lways play their best football A F T E R they make a touchdown; which was why we lost, of course. We didn' t make tha t first one. How-ever, there is a rosy side to everyth ing. We couldn't beat Army anyway, and I'm sure if Hope had s tayed undefea ted the country 's f a n s would have insisted on a playoff.

T h a t Homecoming bat t le is a lways a good one, and this year it will be especially so. Alma is the only undefeated eleven in the MIAA, and a Hope victory would zoom us r ight up there again. Alma barely won tha t g a m e f rom Albion last Sa tu rday , coming f r o m behind to do it, so we can expect anyth ing . And it might be wise to import a J im Briske to boot those ex t r a points; they win a lot of ball games. Hope hasn ' t won a Homecoming football g a m e since 1935, which is many moons ago. Here ' s to them!

F L A S H ! That field house still s t ands at For t Custer . I wonder if i t 's still f r e e ? Don't you?

Kalamazoo put on a fine show f o r thei r Homecoming; especially though t fu l were the coffee and sandwiches they had brought up to the pressbox. The cheese sandwich held my s tomach together the second half — I was l is tening to the Michigan-Northwestern g a m e while Kazoo went f o r their second touchdown.

Let me put the finis to th is one t h o u g h t ; I like to see a beauti-fu l ly thrown pass a s well a s anyone, but the kind those receivers can catch a re the kind tha t count. And Higgs wasn ' t t r ip le th rea t in '42 because he could run, kick and whist le!
