Alcohol Problem Is Competition Theme

Dr. Irwin J . Lubbers has been asked to serve on a six-man ex-ecutive committee of the Intercol-legiate Association for the study of the Alcohol Problem. T h i s agency is not a new or temporary movement; it is a p e r m a n e n t agency for education on the Alco-hol Problem, specializing in service to colleges, s tudents and high school teachers. Because of the acute problem at the present time the organization has launched an intensive 4-year post-war program.

Dr. Lubbers has been interested in this committee for a number of years. There was a chapter of the association active on Hope's cam-pus a number of years ago.

To st imulate thought and action the association is s taging an edi-torial contest offering a total of 19 prizes with a value of $560.00. Theme of the editorials is "Out-growing Alcoholic Culture," and contenders may write on any phase of this general theme. The contest is open to undergraduate college students, enrolled for the year 1946-47, only. Entr ies will be re-ceived up to June 30, 1947, but f o r a bet ter chance at the ext ra month-ly prizes the student is advised to write early. F i r s t prize will be $200.00, second — $50.00 each (2 prizes), t h i rd—$20 .00 each (10 prizes), and $10.00 will be awarded for each editorial selected for pub-lication in the "Internat ional Stu-dent" magazine.

student to hold one major office during a given school year. The mechanics of such a system would have to be ironed out in a committee, possibly of the Student Council and Women's Activities League.

Instead of waiting until the time that alections are being held, or else have been held, and then worrying about how to limit the number of positions per student, some-thing should be done before then. Not only does the person involved suffer, but the or-ganizations do not receive the best that they could and should receive. Real accomplish-ment comes only with undivided attention.

The solution of this activities problem rests in the hands of the students themselves. If you feel that Hope lacks things to do, in-vestigate the opportunities which are at your fingertips. If your organization fails to meet the need of satisfying those who do not at-tend because interest is lacking, evaluate and revise so that this need may be met. And if you are burdened with too many activities, consider others who may find themselves in the same predicament unless some plans are made soon. The problem can be solved, but it will require immediate cooperation from everyone.

Activities - Plus or Minus Anyone who attends campus organizations

will readily say that meetings are seldom well-attended, even by regular members. Clubs such as International Relations Club, English Majors, Y.M. and Y.W.C.A., and P & M comprise only a small proportion of the student body. Yet these organizations conduct and sponsor programs which would benefit the intellectual, social, and spiritual natures of each one attending.

It may be that upperclassmen get into the swing of things because of the offices they hold. But they would never have attained their positions if they had not entered the clubs and performed some of the less impor-tant tasks while they were still underclass-men. That is undoubtedly why the majority of upperclassmen will agree that there are enough activities.

The problem, therefore, lies mainly in drawing underclassmen into clubs in which they are interested and in which they will be willing to expend time and effort. By be-coming actively engaged not only in carry-ing on the organization, but also in building it so that it will not sink into passiveness is an absolute necessity. The maxim still holds true that a person gets out of something only as much as he is willing to put in.

If students would participate wholeheart-edly in the activities now existent, the cry for more things to do would decrease imme-diately. The variety of clubs is so broad that no one could be excluded on that account. Although some organizations restrict mem-bership to those who are majors in that field, there are numerous others which do not make that stipulation.

W anton joining of clubs is going from one extreme to the other. One or two in which a person has a definite interest is better than three or four. Concentration of talents rather than spreading one's abilities over several produces better results for all concerned. We know that is true from discussing this prob-lem with others as well as from personal experience.

However, the fact that many students do seek more things to do remains. The blame must of necessity lie partially in the clubs themselves. A self-evaluation and critical view might cause revitalization. The changes effected might attract non-members. With both groups working together in harmony, the griping would definitely be cut to a mini-mum and the quality of as well as quantity in clubs would increase.

It would not be fair to ignore the other point of view on this topic: that there are already too many activities. Anyone who has tried to secure a date in the social cal endar knows that the next three months are solidly filled.

The solution of the problem — that of cut-ting down the number of activities — seems to be restriction in the first place. Limiting the number of organizations in which a per-son can participate would just be the begin-ning. The next step would be to allow a

It s All In A Signature Since I have been on Hope's Campus I

have been invited to afix my signature on two petitions being circulated among the students — especially the veterans. Neither petition received my signature.

As I remember, the first petition listed ten reasons why the United States should not loan money to Great Britain. The authors of this petition seemingly forgot that we were loaning Britain money to help ourselves. Britain had to have capital to get back into action as the biggest single trading nation in the world. Before the war, the British people, who number less than three per cen. of the world's population, bought about twenty per cent of all the goods that were exported from all the countries in the work — about seven times their share. THE SIGNERS OF THIS PETITION SPOKE FOR ECONOMIC ISOLATION but the world has gotten to a stage in economic de velopment where NO nation, not even the United States, can stand alone without great loss in income and a correspondingly low standard of living for its people.

Fortunately, this petition was stereotyped to the degree that any thinking congressman would disregard it, and, too, it was still be-ing circulated on Hope's campus after one house had passed the loan bill, unbeknown to my "petition-bearing" friend.

The second petition dealt with an increase of a flat $35.00 a month in veterans' subsist-ance checks, plus $10.00 for each child. A veteran handed me a pen with which to sign said petition plus the statement that every-one will sign that petition because it means more money. 1 didn't! At the same time I was given a questionnaire re my living ex-penses. The fellow next said to his chum, "You better pad that up in good shape" and the answer was, "Don't worry, I will."

Our fathers had to sacrifice to gain an education and then usually graduated with a debt of several thousands. Thanks to Uncle Sam, we won't. The bulging walls of every educational institute in the country testifies that we are approaching our capacity. Let us not make our educational system a gravey train. Every veteran should have the privi-lege of gaining an education and I believe he has that privilege with a little sacrifice. Everything worth having usually requires sacrifice.

Further, if veterans are pushed to the ex-treme financially and need additional assist-ance there are ways other than by sending a stereotyped petition to our congressmen. Hope is a Christian institution and a well worked out petition signed by honest Hope students will carry more weight with our rep-resentatives than the farce that recently hung on our bulletin board asking for a flat $35.00 subsistance increase.

Let's go slow! Let's think things through! Let it not be said of us, "After us the deluge."

ident. He reminded the audience that in politics as in chemistry, action induces reaction, and that big persons often have big faults.

The setting by James Mitchell was well planned and constructed, but somehow I could never quite forget that the Roman forum was made of wood. The costuming was effective, even though in scenes Cassius looked like a flapper from Rome's "roaring twenties", and the lighting and music were used quite sensibly, as they helped to smooth out the continuity.

Mr. Yarborough is a full time director of this Grand Rapids dramatic group, and I expected a little more intensity in the individ-ual scenes of the play. To be sure, both Caesar 's death scene and the torment of Brutus by Caesar 's ghost were executed very well, but the predominant feeling evoked by the suicides of Cassius and Brutus was that of, " I t ' s almost the end of the play, and then we can go home!"

Since Julius Caesar is seldom produced, I was glad to have the opportunity to see it, and, al-though there were a number of faults, the audience left the theatre as if it had been great ly imbued with culture.

La Jolla, Calif. — (ACP) — Take the word of science for it—"silent as a clam" is a scientifically sound expression. Clams make no noise. This was revealed today as one of the incidental results of an exten-sive wartime investigation of nat-ural underwater noises by the Uni-versity of California Division of War Research.

In searching for the source of a peculiar crackling noise which trou bled sonar operators on submarines, the scientists found that the popu-lation of tiny pistol shrimp were responsible, making the clatter by snapping their oversized claws. Even crabs and barnacles were found to be on the noisy side. But not clams. They are silent as — well, as other clams.

Spring Fever Here I sit t rying to write a poem But it 's got me. In classes my mind just roams Cause its got me. I see the gentle breezes play, I'm waiting for the flowers of May, And i t ' i got me. I want the snow to melt away; I want the green to come to s tay; I fel t it again just today; It 's got me. Just a mild brisk air, A light blue sky, and V That feeling comes, and Spring is nigh. R. J. Quant

During the showing of "The Merchant of Venice," recently a t the University of Texas, some wise-acre, a f t e r the final curtain, stole the show with cries of "Author, Author."

March Let the March winds blow. Let them bring snow. Let gentle breezes play. And blow the clouds away. March is a mighty lion; March is a tender lamb. Sired by February, Mothered by April: March is a mongrel But she is as good as she is able. March is a mighty lion; March is a tenden Iamb. She glimpses the future. She reviews the past; But she ia highly individual From the first until the last.

One can always s tar t on that lovely and longed for subject "Spring Will Be A Little Late This Year" by Prof. Lampen. Be-sides, we're gett ing tired of taking walks to see the ice bergs — s a y Marian Dame and Jack.

Oh la de da, my wasn' t Glory Day a Hallelujah Day - especial-ly for Dick Brown and Bud Kor-anda who kept mumbling some-thing about a truck with a band on it convertibles, and then some-thing about riding on a rope. I'd say both of them were a bit f rust ra ted, Prof. Haverkamp.

And now f o r a squint across the street a t the Seminary — I E "Angel Factory". We knew that Harriet Muyskens is very inter-ested in the missionary field, but we didn't know that her appoint-ment had been made so soon yet. Oh well, now we know why John-ny Maaaaen gave such a good ser-mon last Saturday morning.

I see a Soph named Jerry Her-shey has been flashing around with a certain Johnny Parsens — Take heart, chickens. Spring ia just around the comer.

You and I have heard a lot about

wished she could have flashed a member card when her "employ-ers" got her in a t one o'clock last week. Oh well, I guess Mrs. Que made 'em see the light.

Then of course, we musn' t for-get our dear seniors. I heard that Trudy Maassen got a little nervous about seeing Del's pros-pective charge. Keep your chins up kids, when you let 'em down »t s a sign you're get t ing old.

Orchids to Pierce Maassen (they certainly make the column this week) and Jack Brinkerhof for forming the "How to Keep 'Em Happy Weekend Club."

Here's a little note for the • Iilestone Photography Depart-ment. Co-eds of Voorhees Hall have organized a "knitten" Club

will it be satisfactory if W e come for our M i W o n e picture next Monday night? ^If thia date isn't satisfactory please nqtify any gal who looks as if she's a stitch lately.

Whoops! — I see that my y is running short. I wonder wl sort of design we can knit up for next time — keep your eyes and ears open — bye now. / * •

Our c i v i l i u t l o n i t in danger of perishing

today because of the shal lowness of such

views which fail to reckon wi th the bas ic

fact that we live in a universe of m o r a l

order and purpose. Men must understand

•hat there Is an implacable moral order built into the very nature of things that

cannot be violated without fatal coose-quencea; an order that recognises no arti-flcial distinctions of race, class, nation or creed and guarantees that the only k ind

of society that shall endure is one which works for the common enrichment of all

people. It means that the l i fe of all man-kind is inseparably bound together, so that none can be safe until all are safe, that none can be permanently free until all are free, and none can be permanently at peace

until all are at peace. The universe was made to fulfill a creative moral purpose

and any society that fai ls to work in har-mony with such a purpose is simply run-ning up against the nature of reality and thereby underwriting its own doom.

With a blast of a horn, the lid of the Music Box is blown open this week. Yep, if you hear anyone tooting a t you in the next couple weeks, look q u i c k l y and you'll probably see a new grey plymouth belonging to the Snow family. With four drivers, and four fenders, it will be interesting to see how long the car c a n be kept w i t h o u t wrinkles.

Congratulat ions are in s tore for Alma Vander Hill on a wonderful recital. I t was a fine performance, and we look forward now to Alma's Senior recital next fall.

Next in line for recital appear-ances a re Betty Christie and Rog Rietberg. This joint voice-organ program promises to be a very fine evening's entertainment.

If you have a pencil handy, you might check the following dates on your calendar; Tuesday, March 25, Christie-Rietberg recital; Tuesday, April 29, Nellie Mae Ritsema re-cital; S u n d a y , May 4, Marion Slinn, p ano recital; Tuesday, May 6, P>yllis Darrow-Dick Vriesman, joint vocal recital, and Tuesday, May 13, Betty Van Lente, piano recital.

Thanks are in store for the Student Council in bringing Mr. Sp cer here for a concert, and also to the college for the appearance of Rudolf Ganz.

We wonder sometimes, just how crreat would be the strain if all of the student body and faculty joined in on the hymn-singing. We should be proud of our new hymnals, and if you can't read the notes of unfamil iar hymns, just sing any-way. The only way to learn these hymns is to sing them.

We've heard a lot of talk lately about what to do on Sunday af te r -noons, and evenings dur ing the week, and yet, come recitals and "Where are the people?" The stu-dents giving these recitals have worked long hours in prepar ing for them. We know that almost every student at tends basketball games or is interested in them, and we can be proud of our teams, but why not show these student musicians that we're behind them. If you think preparing for and giving a recital is fun, try it sometime.

Contest Winners Will Receive Trip To Netherlands

To commemorate the g rea t mi-

gration of 1847 from the Nether-

lands to the Middle West, one hun-

dred years ago, the Centennial

Commission, Holland, Michigan, is

subject : "The Influence of Dutch

Sett lement on American Civiliza-tion." The contest will be divided n two non-compefng classes; one

Generous prizes are offered in this contest. First , second and third prize will be a tr ip to the Nether-lands of about six weeks in the summer of 1947, as a special guest of the Netherlands Government. During this visit the winners will be shown all the well-known char-acteristics of the Netherlands: the Dutch paintings, the windmills, the canals, the polders, Marken and Volendam with their typical cos-tumes, as well as modern develop-ments such as the harbors and in-dustries. Fourth, fifth and sixth prize will be a tr ip to Holland, Michigan, in August, 1947, as a special guest at the Centennial fes-tivit :es.

Biarritz To Basque Land Thoman Van Dahm

In p^acelime, Biarr i tz , France ranks wi th the Rivera a s one of Europa ' s most e legant p layground spots; bu t f rom Augus t , 1945 to March 1946, i t was l i t t le more than an American college town. The U. S. Army had establ ished a complete universi ty there , equipped to handle a s tuden t body of 4,000 and s t a f f e d with picked teachers f rom many American colleges and universi t ies and qualified a rmy personnel — mostly d r a f t e d teachers .

It was my good f o r t u n e to be a s tudent a t this unique school and to remain , a f t e r my al lot ted eight-week t e rm , a s a member of the universi ty opera t ing s t a f f . Thus I had the oppor tuni ty to wander about the count ry somewhat and to observe the cos tumes and customs of those fasc ina t ing people. The Basques.

Biarr i tz itself is qui te cosmopolitan. Many r i tzy Par i s shops have branches there and modern hotels and villas border the beach. But the town has lost much of the charm it had when Victor Hugo wro te so enthusiast ical ly of its a t t rac t ions . Almost the only t race of Basque left in Biarr i tz is its name.

However, to the south and eas t of Biarr i tz is the t r u e "Eskual -He r r i a " or "Basque-Land" which consists of the old French provinces of Labourd Basse-Navarre , and Soule, and the Spanish provinces of Navar re , Alava, Biscaya, and Guipuzcoa, all located in the Basse-Pyrenees on or near the At lant ic coast . The cl imate is mild, general ly , a l though it does f reeze occasionally and the ocean breezes a re some-what less than balmy dur ing the winter.

F a r m i n g is the Basques main occupation. P a r t of every rural scene is the inevitable team of oxen pulling a creaky old two-wheeled oxcart . The f a r m e r , clad in peasant g a r b topped off with a beret , walks beside his oxen and lends moral support , which of ten consists of a few s t ra teg ic jabs with his makhila, a sharp-pointed stick used fo r moun-tain climbing and whatever else seems to require a sharp-pointed stick.

The Basques have been tak ing advantage of thei r position on both sides of the Franco-Spanish f ron t i e r by indulging in the hazardous occupation of smuggl ing. These hardy folk a re expert mountain-climbers and swimmers and seem to regard smuggl ing as a perfect ly just way of supplement ing their f a r m incomes.

Incidentally, the leading Basque export is — Basques! They have acquired the vicious habit of having large famil ies ; but land, economists say, is non-reproductive. Thus, the f i rs tborn ge t s the fami ly plot and the res t get the gate . Many have migrated to the United S ta t e s but the major i ty have made thei r homes in South America.

Basque musicians a re exponents of the one-man-band system. Each pe r fo rmer plays, with his r ight hand, a long tubu la r ins t rument called a xirulu or txistu (wrap your tongue around those!) which looks like a clarinet but sounds like — a flute. It has four holes and a r ange of an octave. With his left hand he plays a tambourine-l ike gadge t called a t t un - t tuna . The musicians, a lways men, t ravel about dur ing holidays. They march awhile, then play a tune while doing a fas t dance-step, and pass the t t u n - t t u n a s for contributions. Some of their tunes sound quite Spanish, but o thers a re authent ic Basque melodies.

The origin of the Basques is unknown. Ethnical ly, they const i tu te a separa te racial group, and they speak a language tha t is total ly different f rom their Spanish and French neighbors — in fac t , totally different f rom any o ther language in the world.

Knicks Initiate 12 New Pledges

The discussion of slave-week and

informal ini t iat ion held top bill-

ing wi th the Knicks in thei r pas t

two meet ings. On Feb rua ry 28, t h e

twelve pledges were pu t on the

block and sold as s laves by auc-

tioneer Roger Dekker . With t h e

dismal recollection of a week of

hor ror still in the i r minds t h e

pledges came to the next meet ing

only to hea r talk of gues t n igh t

and informal initiation.

The twelve pledges still having

to go th rough half of thei r init ia-

tion a re Herber t Arnold, Richard

Fairchild, Theodore Gillstedt, Ro-

bert Hill, Wade M o o r e , Daniel Paul, George Priest , Donald Schip-pers, William Smith, Marvin Van Eck, Eugene Vis and Robert Vivers.

On the l i te rary side of the Knick meetings, the serious paper of Har -old Grissen received a unanimous vote f rom the members to be entered in the archives. His paper gave some of the principles of Communism with special emphas is on its e f f ec t s on the Russian People.

Cosmos Witness Formal Ceremony

Bro the r s of the Cosmopoli tan

f r a t e rn i ty witnessed an impress ive

ceremony when pledges were f o r m -

ally ini t ia ted Wednesday, March 5,

in Walsh Music hall. T h e event

was a candlel ight service. Preceed-

Vanden Berg a t a meet ing Feb ru -

ary 27 in the lounge of t h e Temple

building. Clerk Wyba Nienhuis p re -sented minutes of the previous group meet ing followed by Bro ther Maassen who of fe red p raye r .

Bro ther Barendse presented a serious p a p e r enti t led, "Appren t i ce -ship vs. Mechanizat ion" and Cosmo Cliff Onthank ' s humor paper , " D r y Goods", regis tered the " l a u g h s " for the evening. Criticism of the l i terary pa r t of the discussion w a s provided by Cosmo Dale Vanden Brink, m a s t e r critic.

According to the la tes t Basque g r a m m a r , there are twelve cases,

th ree numbers, five voices, and 196 tenses in the language — and

you complain about French and German! The Basques are qui te proud

of the i r complex language. They have a proverb t h a t the Devil once

came there to learn Basque; but a f t e r f o u r years all he knew w a s

"bai eta ez" — "yes and no," and as soon as he had left he couldn' t

even remember those. Although they are required to learn the l anguage

of the country, French or Spanish, in school, they speak nothing but

Basque in the home and in the village.

For economic reasons the Basque provinces have annexed themselves

to France and Spain, but the people are f iercely independent and ha te

oppression. Intensely proud of his heri tage, a Basque is f i r s t of all

Basque, then French or Spanish.

La France •"' t Florence Tarr

Being with a headquarters squadron keeps any unit moving fas t and of ten. Our detachment was large and a lot of work was involved when we changed locations. We had been ready to leave England for r r a n e e for some t.me. At last the orders came through and naturallv excitement ran high.

France! Par i s ! The dream of thousands and we were actually on our way. We had visions of all tha t Paris meant—from stories.* Wo arrived there to find to our dismay that Paris was not for us. We had just enough of it to want more. From Paris we went to Chantilly.

Since this was to be our home for awhile, we tried to become acquainted with the town and the people. It is a town of about fortv-

ve hundred population and a very pretty place. A famous chateau and a more famous race track are -.here.

We were welcomed by the people and made a number of friends among them. As a mat ter of fact when the time came to leave some of our French fr iends, we hated to go. Even under the circumstances, they always had a smile or song for us.

The last Chr is tmas we spent in France is one which none of our group will ever forget . The weather was very cold but clear. A few days before Chr is tmas we had a light snowfal l 'but not enough to cover the ground.

Natural ly as Christmas drew near, we looked for packages from home. At that par t icular time the mail was not coming through as we thought it should. For a while it looked as though there would be no Chr is tmas except what we could provide ourselves. Few packages did arr ive in time so we devoted our attention and energy to decorations. We were going to have Christmas trees whether there was anvthing else or not.

Of course, there were no t r immings to be bought so it was up to us to make our own. Just what we were M>ing to use was a problem. Hut American ingenuity scored again! We were able to get trees, holly, mistletoe, laurel, and evergreen branches. The biggest headache was wondering what we could use on our trees. We put the grapevine into operation and let it be known what we wanted. Cra. 'ually it began to produce results. At first the boys had not disn - y e l much interest, hut as the idea gathered momentum we gathe.o.l help. Little by little things began to appear from nowhere. A lew hadlv beaten Santas a few silver s ta r s ( f rom G.I. cans) , some col .red paper, rnd most pre-cious of all, a little tinsel. The wise person did not ask " w h e r e ? " but "are there m o r e ? "

Out of this limited supply and variety our decorations were manu-factured. Nail polish surely came into its own that day. The clear polish made perfect glue. Paper angels •vith cotto-, wing;;, s tars wreaths, and figures were the results. Tho.;e •• e p . . on the doors and windows and also on the trees. One fealure \.v re.-.r rvei exclusively for the doors was painted pine cones. The coner- v v . e exceptionally large and when pamted with red nail polish, and whatever else there was. at least made something none of us had eve/ .~e > i. For instance, we had been given some blue enamel and some gilt paint. These mixed with a little ski l l .brought about some surprising novelties, but, on ihe

other hand, there were some lovely ones, too. Those who were lucky

enough to receive a package usually had ribbons to add some color.

Everything was salvaged from a package that could possibly be-used.

Some of you may have tried this; however, if you never have,

there is a pleasant surprise in store for you if you ever a t tempt it.

Poinsett ias made with laurel and red nail polish are amazingly real-

istic. A branch of laurel can be striped until the desired shape is reached. The leaves which compose the petal a r rangement are pointed on both sid?s and can be placed in a container in such a way that they are remarkably like the real flower.

We were not satisfied with the evergreen branches as they were, so we decided a little nail polish would help. Just the t ips were treated with red polish and a little gilt scattered through the twigs.

An incident might not be amiss here because it happened while we were gathering pine cones. There was a hand grenade imbedded in the ground and was mistaken for a cone. Fortunately there was n > neeJ to pick us off the trees.

This may seem an inappropriate time to be discussing Christmas decorations, but there will be future Christmases.

Maybe our tin s tars and paper angels were rather amateur , but to us they were the loveliest in the world.

Thesaurians Hold Mock Informal

Gleeful Thesaurians applied the

paddle to new members in a mock

informal initiation. Seniors recalled

memories of sliding barefooted

through cooked spaghett i and eat-

ing lard sandwiches — tasty, that is.

Nellie Mae Ritsema rendered

scripture in the form of Reverie.

In a serious paper, entitled . . . . Pensive Reflections, Lynn Lund-berg aired her favorable opinions about wearing crazy clothes to classes and incorporating the slave system. Hut then she admitted that she'd never experienced an inform-al initiation herself! Lois Meulen-d>ke, in her Melancholia, impressed on Judy, Dot, and others, their r ightful places as humble worship-ers of the most high . . . seniors, too yet.

To end a gruesome evening, Doris Opie made the Nightmare Come True as she sold off some of the members as slaves a f t e r ap-propriate tests of their abilities. After a subtle rendition of the deal French waiter technique, Marian Labushr was sold for one candy bar, highest bid of the evening.

Mrs. Irwin J . Lubbers e iter taino:! tlie five Sororities of Hope College last Thursday and Friday ' . enings at her home. On Thursday 'ight her guests were the mem-bers of Delphi and Thesaurian; on

i Friday, the members of Dorian, sibylline and Sorosis.

On Thursday evening, with news-papers as the theme, Carolyn 'ngham read devotions in the Daily Thought, and the serious paper was presented by Alida Klooster-man as the Editorial. The funny page was next by Mildred Ver-maire, and the music was furnished by Nellie Mae Ritsema at the piano.

Prelude to Spring was the theme of Friday evening's program. Af te r a welcome by Esther liogart, Harriet Hains took charge of de-votions. Hetty Hrinkman sang a musical salute to spring and Ruth Quant added thoughts in rhyme. The humorous approach was fur-nished by Kay MacQueen.

Af ter the programs, refresh-ments were served and informal 'ind spontaneous group singing ended the evening's enter tainment .

Hope Cagers Close Season

With 7 Victories, 3 Losses

Hope College Anchor

Hope Tallies Again; Takes Scoring Record

Piling up an average of almoat

C5 points per game as compared to

its opponents 49, the Hope College

basketball team rolled to another

successful season, guided by Coach

"Bud" Hinga. Besides copping the

M.I.A.A. crown, the Dutchmen com-

piled a non-conference record of

seven wins against three defeats .

This br ings the total to surteen

wins and four losses for an .800

percentage.

Led by "Rus ty" De Vette, ex-Marine, Hope scored 1,293 points. De Vette scored approximately one-fourth of the total as he racked up 145 field goals and 38 f ree throws for a 328 total. Don Mulder, last year ' s captain, took the run-ner-up spot with a total of 245. Third place went to Herk Buter who had 216 points. He was fol-lowed closely by "Gabby" Van Dis with 184 points.

De Vette led by f a r with field goals, but Herk Buter copped the f r ee throw record with 68 tosses out of 99 at tempts. Mulder had the best percentage of f ree throws for the regulars, hi t t ing 70 per cent, but Nick Yonker, understudy to Mulder, showed a record of 73 per cent. The total of free throws for the whole team was 249 out of 404 for a 60 per cent average.

The honor of having the whistle blown at him the most times went to Van Dis who committed 52 fouls. However, he just edged Scholten with 51 and Buter and De Vette with 50. Van Dis and De Vette were chased from the game twice via the five-foul route. Buter, Scholten, and Ploegsma were asked to leave just once.

Hope's 'B' Squad Racks Up 7 Wins

The much unpublicized Hope " B "

team came through with a winning

season despite the lack of in teres t and coverage. They played twelve games, not counting the inter-squad game, and won seven of them. They outscored their opponents 512 to

446. Six of the team's games were in

two-game series with Calvin, Kala-mazoo, and Western. The other six were all a t home with the excep-tion of the Grand Haven game. The " B " team's best performance was probably the 49-24 whipping they handed Kalamazoo on Feb. 14 at Kazoo. Many of the fans definitely fe l t tha t they should have played the varsi ty game, too. One of the poorest games was the 40-26 loss to Calvin. The "B"8 beat Calvin la ter in the season 49-46.

Inter-Frat Ball Games Produce Rivalry, Upsets

A revolutionary change was seen

in the " B " league this past week.

Af te r absorbing an unmerciful

beat ing a t the hands of the Fra te rs

by the score of 36-12 the hapless

Arcadians came to life and gained

revenge for all their past defeats

a t the expense of the Cosmos. I n |

a s tar t l ing game with the second

seeded team in the league the ha-bitual cellar inhabitants came to life and racked up an astonishing 34-30 score. This, coupled with the Independents loss, virtually gave the " B " league championship to the high flying F ra t e r team. There is, of course, the possibility of the Fraternal organization losing its next two games but this is highly improbable.

The game which was the other half of the almost positive assur-ance of the F ra t e r victory* was the 36-27 win over the Indies. The In-dependent team a f t e r beating the Emmies in a lopsided battle by the score of 24-17, which saw the Em-mies score two points in the entire first half, gave the league leaders a good batt le but did not have enough to beat them.

Cosmo, in their other game of the last two weeks, beat the Knicks by the score of 35-27. The Knicks then went on to beat the Emmies by the score of 37-27.

In a game which saw three men

leave the game on five personal

fouls, the Emmies last week de-

feated the Knicks. The score was

36 to 29 and the Emersonians com-

mitted 29 fouls and the Knicker-bockers reciprocated with 14. This

was then second loss in a row for

the Knicks who have been playing good ball but who have had the breaks go against them. They lost to the F ra te r s the week before by the score of 45-42 and the score does not describe the second half comeback of this team. They trailed the league leaders by the score of 33-13 and outplayed the Fra ters all the second half until the time ran out leaving them three points on the wrong side of the ledger.

The other game of the Emmies was a good win over the Indies by the score of 36-33. This was the first of two quick losses for the Independents. They lost their next game to the Cosmos, who are much improved, by the score of 40-27. The Cosmos have yet to lose a game since the turn of the sched-ule and the acquiring of Moose Holwerda. They beat the Arca-dians in the game prior to the In-die game by the score of 37-25.

Af te r the defeat a t the hands of the Cosmos the Arcadians walked s t ra ight into another one as they fell before the F ra te r s 46-22.

This league is still wide open as the high flying Emersonians are only one game behind the league leading Fra te rs and the Fra te rs have yet to meet the Cosmos who right now are a team to be reck-oned with.

As usual Hope can again look back on a very successful basketball season. Things went almost exactly as predicted. We lost three games. (The Monmouth game was not scheduled a t t h a t time.) We won the M. I. A. A. championship, "no ties involved." (Quote Koop) Also De Vette walked off with scoring honors as scheduled. I think without a doubt Hope's greates t performance was the 83-46 beating we handed Albion. At the time no one realized t h a t t ha t would prove to be the deciding game in the championship f ight . Kalamazoo is still a r a the r touchy subject around campus. Personally, I think those who saw the game gained a much deeper appreciation of what a good team we really have as compared to wha t they might be. Of course a few chronic complainers had to immediately jump on the team, the coach, and everyone else involve^ with a flood of learned criticisms. As usual most of them didn't know what they were talking about but had to say something jus t fo r the sake of complaining.

The fac t s speak much better. Hope has won or tied fo r six M.I.A.A. t i t les during the pas t nine seasons. The o ther three years we ended second. Hope broke several school and conference records this year. 1293 points is a new offensive high for one season. 984 points is the highest season total fo r the opposition, Hope's 64.7 point average is also a record. Russ De Vette broke the individual scoring with 328 points. Hope broke the M. I. A. A. season scoring record with 679 points. We do not know for sure whether or not De Vette 's 165 confer-ence points is a new mark.

Russ De Vette was chosen most valuable player by the members of the team. The most valuable players of the other M. I. A. A. schools a r e as follows: Kalamazoo - Stanski, Albion - Isaac, Alma - Ha r t t , Adrian - Champion, and Hillsdale - Edson. Each member of the various teams ra tes the selections of the other five teams. In this way the most valuable player in the conference is selected. The votes have been cast but the results have not been released. De Vette should win it hands down.

The team certainly has plenty to say about that Monmouth game. "Boy, was tha t a good basketball game in Chicago Stadium." "You should have seen those rooms in the Stephens," "Swell hockey game." etc. etc. (Monmouth game tha t is.)

One more week and a play-off will decide the f r a t e r n i t y basketball championship. I'll make no predictions because I might be accused of being biased. Everyone's s ta r t ing to feel baseball in thei r blood. The major leagues a re practicing, Hope is practicing, and plans a r e under way for a f ra te rn i ty league. The bowling league reaches the ha l fway mark tomorrow. The best teams in the league, the Knick " A " and F r a t e r "A", seem to have carved out too large handicaps fo r them-selves and are not doing very well in the won and lost columns. I still pick one of these teams to win the league.

N. Y. Tribune Urges Students To Pick All-Star Team

To college s tudents who know their basketball, the New Y o r k Herald Tribune is issuing an invi-tation to part icipate in the selection of the players for t he East-West All-Star basketball g a m e to be played a t Madison Square Garden on March 29. Held fo r the benefit of the Tribune Fresh Air Fund, the 1946 East-West contest made it possible for over 1,000 children from New York's tenements to be sent to the country last summer.

Each college s tudent is eligible to submit his or her choice of the ten best college players in their section — East or West. Only one of the ten nominations may be made f rom the' s tudent 's own cam-pus; nine must be f r o m other schools. The individual ballots a re to be sent to : Sports Department , East-West Game, New York Her-ald Tribune, 230 West 41st Street, New York 18, N. Y.

The student nominations will aid the judges in making their deci-sions as to which players to choose from among athletes with similar records. The Sports Edi tors of the Herald Tribune want to know which players you pre fe r — as judged by the quality of their play-ing. Due public recognition will be given to the sport edi tors and the student bodies tu rn ing in the high-est mathematical average of the players finally chosen fo r the East-West game.

The names of the ten players se-lected should be typewri t ten or printed with the school of the play-er following each name. The stu-dent must sign the e n t r y and list the college he is a t t end ing with his personal address. All entries must be postmarked by March 18.

Hope Loses Battle To Monmouth Team

Hope's cagers traveled 320 miles

only to end their season with an

84-60 loss to Monmouth College.

The Monmouth Scots had grea t

trouble missing their shots as they

rolled up enough points to t ie West-e m ' s Jan . 14 rout. Hope, somewhat let down a f t e r w i n n i n g the M.I.A.A. title, missed many easy shots and had some defense trou-bles.

Hope stuck with Monmouth for minutes when the score read 13-13. From then on it was all Monmouth. They outscored Hope 35-13 dur ing the remainder of the first half which ended 48-26. The last half was strictly a formal i ty as Mon-mouth went on to win a t will.

Monmouth played very smooth set-up ball. Their f a s t ro ta t ing block set up many short- long shots. Their two big guns, Arms t rong and Talkins, did almost all their scoring on long shots. Mcllvin, Monmouth's big center, played a fine game under the boards.

For the third s t ra igh t game De Vette led Hope's scoring wi th nine field goals and two f r e e throws. The rest of the team didn' t f a r e a s well on Monmouth's fan-shaped back-boards. Monmouth will come to Holland for a game next season. Monmonth (84) FG F T T P
