Votes Set Record In Council Election

A record number of votes were tallied in the recent s tudent council elections, with 748 ballots

filed. The enthusiast ic response throughout the campaigning was brought about by the intensive work of the campaign managers of the candidates and the mem-bers of the present s tudent council. Evelyn Van Dam organized the voting a r rangements .

The resul ts of the elections will be announced at ihe May Day banquet.

The campaigning was sparked by bubble gum and candy kisses, marching bands and sound t rucks, posters, torchlight p r o c e s s i o n s , s e r e n a d e s , and speeches. The amount of part icipation in the election shows an increase of inter-est in s tudent government .

Latvians To Offer Concert May 14

"The Shield of Song Choir," of Grand Rapids, will present a con-cert Sunday, May 14, a t 3:30 in Hope Memorial Chapel. The sixty-members of the choral g roup will s ing in costume, in both Latvian and in English. The program will consist of both religion and secu-lar music. The concert is being sponsored by the Hope UNESCO Workshop; Harvey Calsbeek is chai rman of the event.

Immediately a f t e r World War II "The Shield of Song Choir" was organized by a g roup of Displaced Persons a t Camp Volka, near Nuremberg , Germany. In tha t country and at t h a t t ime the choir had a membership of 120 voices.

Through the UNO, many of the Latv ians in Camp Volka, barred f rom their homeland by Commu-nism, came to the Uni ted Sta tes of America. A number of these persons have come to the Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo areas ,

where they are working in a

wide var ie ty of vocational fields.

The • localization of Latvians

who had fo rmer ly been members

of "The Shield of Song Choir" in

Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo,

made possible t he reorganizat ion

of tha t group. The choir was reor-

g a n i z e d b y t h e R e v . J a n i s

Laupmanis of Kalamazoo, with

60 of the fo rmer 120 persons again

joining the organizat ion.

The choir members offer the i r

p rog ram as a token of appreciat ion

to the Americans f o r g iving them

a home and as the i r contribution

to American cul ture .

The traditional celebration of May Day, with several new highlights, will take place next Friday, May 12. ''May Magic" will be the theme throughout the festivities of the day which will begin at 10:00 in the morning when classes will be dismissed. Added to the usual list of events for the day are a softball game between faculty and students and a May pole dance by the Sophomore girls.

After classes are dismissed the students will gather at the athletic field to witness the inter-class contest of girls'

spor ts events. The gir ls have been pract ic ing fa i thfu l ly to represent their classes, and the competition should be keen. The in te r f ra te rn i ty t rack meet which has taken place dur ing the af ternoon in fo rmer years , will be replaced this year by a facul ty-s tudent softball game which will begin a t 1:30.

The evening events will begin at 5:00 in the Pine Grove, where the s tudents will assemble to at tend the Coronation ceremonies and tap-ping of the new Alcor members . The tradi t ional Daisy Chain of F reshman girls, dressed in pastel formals , will lead the procession of court and Alcor members to their places, accompanied by the Hope College Band, which will play th roughout the procession. A May-pole dance by a dozen sophomore gir ls will be given at this time. The group will be composed of two representa t ives chosen f rom each sorori ty and two non-member

good demonstration of democracy in action. It was a forceful example of the freedom of expression tha t has made America the great nation which it now is.

The activity on Hope's campus during the past week even surpassed that of a year ago, when the importance of good student gov-ernment was first being recognized here.

Considerable progress has been made in establishing a truly representative student body throughout this year. For this achieve-ment, the officers and members of the 1949-1950 Student Council deserve praise.

A representative S t u d e n t Council has made possible harmonious relationships be-tween Hope administration, faculty, and stu-dents and has resulted in student member-ship on a number of important committees.

It is to be hoped tha t the new Student Council will consolidate these gains and con-tinue this trend of establishing better stu-dent government.

o

Better Government The Hope campus has certainly been a

colorful place during the past week. The student council campaign, with its novel posters, speeches by candidates, parades, spirited band music, and so on, seemed to give the campus a new vitality.

More than this, the campaign provided a

Staff Changes The completion of the current issue of

the ANCHOR represents the last paper to be assembled by those who have served in editorial capacities during this school year. Selections of the persons who will direct the publication of the college paper during the coming year have now been made. Those that have accepted ANCHOR editorial and business staff positions, having served for a period of apprenticeship in putting together this issue, will take their posts with the issue to be ready for distribution on May 18.

The persons who have been chosen to form the new staff are well qualified to fill their respective positions. The retiring staff members wish their successors the best in journalistic success.

The Hope administration, faculty, and stu-dent body can help in making the campus bi-weekly news organ a success by offering their cooperation. P u t t i n g out readable copy involves good and reliable news sources and a competent group of reporters, as well as capable newspaper executives and editors.

Through recognition of the errors of past ANCHOR issues, through the maintenance of worthy journalistic goals, through the cooperation of those who work makes the paper possible, this newspaper can continue to grow and to serve its functions of provid-ing the news, unifying Hope thought, and fostering the high ideals for which this col-lege stands. Good luck in the venture, ANCHOR staff of 1950-1951!

Which Are You - Highbrow, Lowbrow, or Middlebrow?

How intelligent are you? Did you ever try measuring your forehead? Is it two inches or five? Well, if you can't determine what your forehead is supposed to indicate, perhaps you can classify yourself in one of the following categories:

HIGHBROW or geniuses come first. A college highbrow considers his college term a stepping stone to a higher place rcached a f t e r he has had his name suffixed by a s t r ing of abbreviated capital let-ters earned by painstaking gradu-ate work. The college highbrow may be defined as a student who is totally uninterested in the grading methods of any instructor. He looks down his long nose rather disgustedly a t the classmate who asks the professor about the curve.

His disdain of mediocre and pedantic instructors along with his indifference to "College spir i t" and the high school antics of his class-mates leave him prone to a great deal of un jus t criticism. He likes nothing better than to sit down with colleagues of his own intel-lectual level and pick apar t Freud, Marx, O'Neil, etc.

At the other end of the scale we find the college L O W B R O W S . Lowbrows may be distinguished, not necessarily by any degree of intelligence, but by their intention in at tending college. This class em-braces the student who is wasting his parents ' or the government 's money. He has no set goal in sight nor does he care for any. His in-difference in class and avoidance of any controversial discussion which may overtax his cellophane-wrapped gray matter , affords him an equilibrium of C's and D's suf-ficient to keep the allowance com-ing regularly.

To him, college is simply an ex-tension of high school, to be put up with only because the alterna-tive is the common, work-a-day existence of the laborer or a pre-destined vice-presidency in a busi-ness long since earned by a fawn-ing parent.

St range as it may seem, college

Faculty Attends NEA Conference

Dr. Ella Hawkinson, Head of the Hope College History Department, Mr. Henry Steffens, Treasurer of Hope, and Mr. Albert Timmer, Di-rector of Admissions, were among 950 persons who attended the NEA conference on Higher Education, held April 17, 18, 19 at the Con-gress Hotel in Chicago. The con-ference was divided into thirty-two sections and discussed problems ranging f rom administrative de-tails and religion in higher educa-tion through general education.

The keynote address, "Education As a National Policy," was given by Harold W. Stokes of Louisiana S ta te University. Dr. Stokes fel t t ha t the nation's schools were the best barometer for measuring our national anxieties. He fel t tha t the seemingly harmless idea tha t the grea ter the number educated, the grea ter the national welfare, might have the effect of a hidden bomb. He questioned if it were wise for education merely to reflect the problems of the time or whether it would not be better for the edu-cational system to direct society in meeting these problems. He gave to education the task of becoming a leader and not a servant of the s tate . He stressed tha t the schools deepest loyalty is to God and the higher t ru ths , which are over and above the work of political plan-ners.

Kimber Addresses Faculty Members

On April 24 Dr. Kimber of Michigan State College addressed the faculty of Hope College fol-lowing a dinner at the Temple Building, on the subject "General Education." Dr. Kimber is a pro-fessor of History and Political Science, Head of the Dept. of History of Civilization, Director of Social Sciences, Head of the Dept. of Religion, and Secretary of the Committee of General Education at Michigan State College.

Professor Kimber d i s c u s s e d "General Education" f rom the point of the part icular situation as it was on the Michigan State Campus; but also in a general way as it existed in all of college edu-cation.

General e d u c a t i o n is not a watering down of education to mediocrity. I t is an answer to the need for democratization of edu-cation, in that it seeks goals and values that will be equally valid for all. I t is an antidote to the extremes of specialization which have brought chaos into American education.

In his second thesis he said tha t general education creates a syn-thesis t h a t w i l l r e s t o r e the foundations of freedom and Chris-tianity to a confused civilization. Its ul t imate end is to save western culture f rom materialism. Dr. Kimber took the position tha t reli-gion and theology would have to furnish the basic assumptions upon which general education rests. He is convinced tha t even s ta te universities will have to come to this conclusion before general education can be made effective.

Tri-Beta Makes Trip To Chicago |

A specially guided tour of the medical science division of the Museum of Science and Industry was the highlight of Tri-Beta 's t r ip to Chicago on April 21. Included in the exhibits were a t ransparent woman with lights to designate the different organs, a series of human embryos showing development f rom fertilization to birth, saggital and transverse sec-tions of a human body, a cancer display, and a movie on cancer cell division.

Other very interest ing displays in the museum were a large, cylin-drical periodic table showing the s t ructure of all the known ele-ments; a display on the properties of l ight ; a t r ip through a coal mine which showed the methods of mining used in Illinois mines; a d e m o n s t r a t i o n - l e c t u r e on the micro-world; and a street of 1900. Many displays of the sciences interested the visitors.

Those at tending were: Dorothy Kranendonk, Betty Anne Koch, Wal ter Scholten, Richard Miller, Russell Van Dyke, Robert Visscher, Har ry Visscher, John Failing, Don De Witt , Howie Claus, Norman Rieck, J i m W o l t e r b e e k , Jack Ketchem, and Dr. Teunis Vergeer.

l o w b r o w s never grow out of the grammar-school name-calling stage. A conscientious middlebrow who expresses his admiration of Wordsworth or Emerson is roundly smirked a t and dubbed a "char-acter" or a " teacher 's pet ," to men-tion a few of the more acceptable

terms. Lowbrows are also responsible

for such remarks as " W h a t prac-tical value does all this history have?" and "What do I need all this English Composition f o r ? "

MIDDLEBROW college students can be divided into two sections, the lower and higher middlebrow. The grea t majori ty of this type may be defined as the average American college student, if such a phenomenon is known to exist.

Grades, social activity, and a job a f t e r graduation, in that order, are the pr imary aims of the lower mid-dlebrow. This segment of college personnel sets the almighty sheep-skin and graduation with reason-ably good grades as his fu tu re meal ticket. The middlebrow denomina-tion boasts both introverts and ex-troverts. In conversation the extro-vert monopolizes the discussion and has no idea what he is talking about. The introvert, on the other hand, keeps his ideas to himself and has no idea what anyone else is talking about.

The upper middlebrow dotes on good instructors, but in his prac-tical optimistic outlook, accepts the chaff with the wheat as neces-sary to the pat tern of college life. Versatility ranging from psychol-ogy to ping pong is the pr imary aim of the upper middlebrow, and he is never really convinced tha t his major is the right choice until the final semester of his graduat -ing year. His interpretation of the ar t s and the classics, though it is often spontaneous and erroneous, is unique in tha t it is essentially his own.

"What ' s t ha t you ask? Which category do I belong t o ? " I really couldn't say. Being a college stu-dent, I 'm prejudiced.

The April 16 meeting of the English Majors Club was centered about the poetry of T. S. Elliot. The subject of the meeting was "How does the poetry of T. S. Elliot affect us as citizens of the modern wor ld?"

The meeting was opened with the reading of an article on Elliot, taken f rom the March 6 issue of Time magazine. This was followed by a rendering (or was it a rend-ing) of Elliot 's poems by club president D e a n V e l t m a n . The poems were then discussed. Poems studied were S w e e n e y Among The Nightingales, The Love Song of Alfred Prufrock, and The Hip-popotamus.

Plans were made for the Club's annual spring picnic. The dates of the picnic and of the next meeting as yet have not been decided.

GERMAN CLUB

The German Club met in the chapel basement on Monday Even-ing of April 17. Dick Stewart vas in charge of the meeting and pre-sented an interesting paper ql\ Easter customs in Germany.

A business meeting followed a id it was decided to have the rfsxt scheduled m e e t i n g a t P o f . Schoon's home a t the lake. Itvwill be a picnic meeting and the elec-tion of next year 's officers Vil l take place.

The five girls, Miriam Gemmill, Phyllis Warren, Carol Hill, Gene-vieve Pietaro and Margare t De Valois will be accompanied by Miss Jennie Spoelstra.

They have been invited to tea at Presbyterian Hospital and will also visit the Hull House, and per-haps Maxwell Street.

ALUMNI H CLUB

An a t t empt has been made by Hope's H Clubs to track down and locate Hope alumni let termen. Al-though the list is not complete, it was found tha t there are about fifty-five let termen in Michigan alone and others in almost every s ta te in the U. S. A. A few may be found as f a r away as Kuwait, Persian Gulf and Tung-an, Fukien, China. I t is estimated tha t there are well over 500 alumni letter-men.

ACTIVE H CLUB

Plans are being made for a spring par ty for club members, according to Active H Club presi-dent Bill Hinga. The pa r ty com-mittee is headed by Otto Vander-velde.

The election of new club officers will be held in May. Members are urged to watch for the announce-ment of this important date.

PHILOSOPHY CLUB

The May meeting of the Philoso-phy Club was held in Van Raalte Hall, Monday evening. May 1. Club members were served ref reshments in the Kletz following the meeting.

A paper on Bergsen's Intuition-ism was presented by Nick Yonker. Yonker has spent the year conduct-ing a special study on Bergsen under Dr. Dykstra, and the paper included many of the highlights of this study.

Council The outgoing Student Council

has been very happy to observe through the pas t week the grea t amount of interest st irred and en-thusiasm displayed in the cam-paign for the Council leadership next year. All of the campaigners deserve a word of praise for the vital, competitive spirit shown. The more the s tudent interest can be aroused now, the grea te r will be the interest in the school's govern-ment next year.

Meanwhile, the present Council has several important projects re-maining. The question of whether or not to join the National Student Association has been on the agenda for quite some time. Louise Loula, chairman of the N.S.A. investigat-ing committee, reports that N.S.A. seems to be a well organized work-ing unit. However, the committee doubts whether or not it could be of much value to our school. The committee does not feel that it would be worthwhile to join unless the value derived from membership would match the dues required for joining. The committee is fu r ther -ing its investigation by talking the project over with Dr. Lubbers and writ ing let ters of inquiry to col-leges that a re members of N.S.A., and colleges tha t were members and have since dropped out.

The Council has recently placed one ping-pong table in the men's room; it hopes to place another in the Commons Room just as soon as it can find another table and obtain the mats that a re on order for the protection of the floor.

The Council fel t that it could not endorse either of the two nick-names so f a r proposed. The gen-eral reaction to both the "Fight-ing Dutch" and the "Freebooters" has been ra ther cool. However, ra ther than let the whole issue die, the Council decided to throw out the list of the best twenty-five names submitted asking the stu-dent body to determine which five it liked the best. If this does not work, the project will be dropped. However, we would like to find a name tha t the student body ap-proves, a name tha t has fight and snap and yet retains something of the heri tage of the school.

Colleges Request "UNESCO News"

Requests have been made to the International Relations Workshop, conducted by Dr. Ella Hawkinson, for copies of the first copy of the Michigan UNESCO News, pub-lished by Hope College last month; the requests came from Brooklyn College, Brooklyn, N. Y., the Uni-versity of Minnesota, and More-head State Teachers College, More-head, Minnesota.

Dr. Hollenbach has also request-ed a hundred copies to be sent out in the North Central Association of Colleges' packets. In this way, news of the international activities on Hope's campus are reaching many colleges in all par t s of the United States.

The I n t e r n a t i o n a l Relations Workshop is now broadcasting a series of Saturday morning pro-grams over WHTC. Last Sa tur -day's broadcast was conducted by Roger Gunn, Canute Vander Meer and a group of Hope's foreign stu-dents.

SPANISH CLUB

Due to unfavorable weather, the Spanish Club picnic has been

postponed until la ter in the month.

This will be held a t Ot tawa Beach

and will include electioii of officers.

Understanding To Be Theme of Conference

"Ways to- International Under-s tanding" will be the theme of the Third Universi ty of Kentucky For-eign Language Conference, to be held on the campus a t Lexington, May 11 to 13. Representatives to the conference f rom Hope College will be Miss Boyd, Mr. and Mrs. Schoon, Miss Meyer, and Mrs. Prins.

There will be many outstanding lectures. In addition, more than one hundred scholars and teachers throughout the nation will read papers, both academic and pedo-gogical, in sectional meetings de-voted to c l a s s i c a l languages, French, Spanish, German, Slavic languages, and Biblical and Pat r i s -tic languages.

The 1949 Conference drew about four hundred regis t rants , repre-senting one-hundred and sixty-three insti tutions and sixteen lan-guages, f r om twenty-six states and the Province of Ontario.

New Home Found For Vagrant Leo

The "Lion" finally has a Home! After residing in Dean Hollen-bach's office for a time, a living room, and many ar t exhibits, he may be seen in the Ar t Gallery on the four th floor of the Science Building.

The "Lion", a painting of a lion's head, was received by Mr. Cornelius Dornbos of Holland a short time ago in appreciation for his work in European relief imme-diately following the war. "Lion" has toured Europe and been dis-played in several ar t exhibits. Following the tour the ar t i s t sent the painting here.

Mr. Dornbos first thought he would place "Lion" in his living room. However, since the lion did not contribute to domestic t ran-quility, he decided to turn it over to Dr. De Graaf. He took it to Mr. Gringhuis who had it f ramed. The lion was then placed in the Dean's office. The correspondence between Dean Hollenbach in his office and the lion in his den seemed to f r ighten students away and c o n s e q u e n t l y "Lion" was placed in the Art Gallery.

New Film Production Presented A t YM Meet

For its meeting of May 2 the

YMCA presented the recently re-

leased film "Prejudice," a 60-min-

ute production premiered last fall

and sponsored by the Protestant

Film Commission.

"Prejudice" has been described

as "subtle, realistic and convinc-

ing." It is a story with a modern

setting, a dramatic production de-

scribing the effects of prejudice on

an average person who is wholly unconscious of its influence over

him. As it has wherever it has

been presented, the picture a t t rac t -

ed a large and appreciative audi-

ence.

Creative Writing To Be Published

A magaz ine wr i t t en by s tudents in teres ted in creat ive wr i t ing is now ready fo r publication and will appea r on Hope's campus the l a t t e r pa r t of May, Dr. Sinnia Billups, the advisor , has announced. The name of the publication has not yet been decided upon.

In a recent issue of ANCHOR, a suggest ion was made t h a t any s tudents having any contr ibutions should see Dr. Billups. In the first issue, 30 contr ibutors are repre-sented.

The magazine includes such f ea tu re s a s shor t s tories, sketches, verse, essays, magaz ine art icles, and a d iary . The purpose of the magaz ine is to s t imula te interest in creat ive wri t ing in both prose and poetry .

The editorial staff includes Mary H o u t m a n , C o n n i e M c C o n n e l l , Gordon Beld, Randy Vande Wate r , K e n n e t h S m o u s e , and Harold Saunders . The f requency of publi-cation ha s not yet been determined and will depend on the interest shown by the s tudent body.

At Last! Female Species Scientifically Analyzed

Edi tor ' s note:

In a fo rmer issue of the ANCHOR the men on the campus were classified into several prominent categories. Now it 's t ime to have the tables turned, and three well-informed gent lemen a t Hope have made the following keen analys is of those very com-plex c r e a t u r e s known as women.

Dur ing the pas t century , scien-tific research has explained to the human mind many of the hi ther to darkly shrouded secrets of nature . But on one part icular problem they have fai led miserably — the most complex, peculiar, and unpredict-able of them all — the woman. Most men must flounder about f o r themselves, but for those unfor tu-nates who have not yet been warned about t he more dangerous types, let us mention a f ew to s teer shy of.

If you've ever spent the n ight in a deep f reezer , where the t em-pera tu re varies between 50 and 30 degrees below zero, you know wha t Type 1 is like. The look she gives you in re turn to a cheery "hello" would make the nether region itself

feel like the South Pole on a win-

ter n ight . Be sure to wear your

heavy jacket, scarf , and earmuffs

when approaching this typa.

Type No. 2 appears to be the

intellectual kind a t first glance. At

least she displays a g r e a t interest

"n the alphabet , especially if the

le t te r happens to be an orange

" H , " appear ing on a blue sweater .

The only solution for this type is

to win a le t ter , steal one f rom

someone who has, or leave her

Vander Borgh, VerBeek Attend State Meeting

Professors Ger re t t Vander Borgh and John VerBeek a t tended a meet-ing a t Ann Arbor last Fr iday to hear a repor t on the annual s t a te s tudy on supply and demand of teachers in Michigan.

The main address was given by the Honorable Ear l J . McGrath Federal Commissioner of Educa-tion, who left his dut ies in Wash-ington to at tend the funct ion. Mr. McGrath ' s repor t indicated tha t there still is an acute shor tage of e lementa ry teachers and a surp lus of secondary ins t ructors , a l though this secondary teacher surp lus is not near ly as g r e a t as ant icipated.

alone. The l a t t e r is probably the best idea, since she'd drop you f o r a two or three- le t te r man as soon as she found one anyway.

Then there is the girl known as the "underground ," "chain- le t ter ," or "human newspaper" type. She's very sweet, and listens at tent ively to all you have to say. But i t 's usually quite a shock to find t h a t every girl on campus can repea t verbatum the sweet nothings you whispered in her ear the night

before.

Type No. 4 is usually r e fe r red to as " the eye," or the "one-man-a in ' t -enough-for-me" type. W h e n you're out with her, you will un-doubtedly feel sorry f o r her, since she obviously has an eye affliction. Tha t is, unti l you notice these winks take place only when another member of the male sex chances to pass by. She 's all r igh t to go out with — if you have an old pa i r of horse blinkers along.

The last type is easy to recog-nize. You will find tha t her vo-cabulary is limited to two words, " I " and "me" , and will usual ly

repeat these words hundreds of t imes in the course of an evening. Her na tura l habi ta t is in f r o n t of a mirror , and will a lways br ing with her an assor tment of combs, rouge, lipstick, et al, which a r e ap-plied in the most conspicuous place possible.

Now tha t you've been warned, t ry to find some woman who avoids these undesirable t ra i ts . When you do, the problem is to t ry and get a date, since other fel lows un-doubtedly realize tha t she 's the kind of girl they want too. But don't be discouraged, the Bet ter Business Bureau lists many desir-able caves where you can learn to be a he rmi t !

Steffens Attends NEA Discussions On Finance

Problems of the financing of col-leges were discussed a t the recent me2ting of the Nat ional Education Association which Treasure r Henry Steffens a t tended.

Mr. Steffens reported tha t the problems considered ranged f rom the ad jus tmen t s to be made in fi-nancing of colleges because of an-t icipated enrol lment decline, to ad-jus tmen t s effect ing the internal op-e ra t ing economy of the inst i tut ion.

The group fe l t tha t both s ta te and pr ivate inst i tut ions would go th rough the s ame kind of ad jus t -ments and tha t prudent and care-ful adminis t ra t ion would be re-quired. Optimism was the keynote — they did not feel the financial problems would be a s g rea t a s many other problems fac ing col-lege adminis t ra t ions .

Federal Scholarship Bills would not provide amounts t h a t would subs t i tu te adequately f o r loss of income f rom the declining number of ve terans enrolled. I t would not be to the best in teres ts of the schools to enter into business ven-tu res which are outside the cus-tomary business of colleges in com-peti t ion with tax-paying and g i f t -giving enterpr ises .

Hope May Day Celebration

Began Fourteen Years Ago Four teen years ago , in 1936, the

May Day celebration was intro-duced to the Hope College campus by Dr. Elizabeth Lichty, the dean of women. At the t ime the cere-monies were held in wha t was called the ,Sunken Garden, the spot on the campus where the Science Building now s t ands : Since the Spr ing of 1940, the May Day cere-mony has been held in Pine Grove, the wooded spot in the center of the immediate campus.

The first three yea r s the queen and her court were chosen by out-side judges, who based their selec-tion on general effect , beauty, and personal i ty.

In 1940 it was decided t h a t a s tudent vote should be considered in the choice of a campus queen. Consequently all the college women of the Jun ior Class were voted on, and f rom the leading ten, the queen and her court were chosen by Dean Lichty, the WAL presi-dent, and the May Day chai rman. The vote was based on at t ract ive-

ness, personali ty, activities, and

scholarship.

When the queen crowned in May,

1947, did not re turn to the campus

i f f r a t p r n i t i t B FRATERNAL

The meet ing of April 14, was opened with p raye r by F r a t e r Van Ark. F r a t e r " I ' ve got a line" Boeve gave F r a t e r s the low down on con-versat ion of all kinds. A ukulele qua r t e t composed by F r a t e r s H a r t -ley, P u t n a m , Vander Velde and Yonkman, played a f ew selections with vocals. F r a t e r Fuz Bauman gave the F r a t e r s a tas te of his humor.

The mee t ing of April 21, was opened with p raye r by F r a t e r Bosch. F r a t e r s then were privi-leged to hear philosophies of life by F r a t e r s Paul Hendrickson and Henry Visser. F r a t e r Hil lebrands in cha rge of special music pre-sented J i m Lock with his accor-dion. Humor was in charge of F r a t e r Lubbers . He divided his humor into "sect ions" and worked up to a number of sections. New F r a t e r s a re J ack Lane, Len Post, George Zeng and Doug Leafs t rand .

Congra tu la t ions were in order fo r F r a t e r Coach Wissink and his t rack t eam f o r again winning the annual event.

The F r a t e r Frolics are being presented May 4, 5 and 6 and t ickets may be purchased f rom any member.

ARCADIAN

On Fr iday evening, April 21, 1950, vice-president Elton Bruins called the meet ing of assembled Arcadians to order. Jack Hascup offered devotions f o r the group. Bill Hinga, visi t ing F r a t e r and candidate f o r the office of Student Council President , asked fo r the suppor t of his Arcadian f r i ends in the coming election and was met by a subsequent response of warm ap-plause. Don Sikkenga led the group in some g roup singing ( a g a i n ? ) under difficulties. Although it was not especially evident tha t he had never led any group s inging be-fore, the lack of necessary suppor t f rom the piano was very noticeable.

Next , Hank Parsons called roll and Neal Van Hees t gave a repor t on the outcome of the in te r - f ra te rn i ty field day. The Arcadians extend hea r ty c o n g r a t u l a t i o n s to the F r a t e r s fo r their victory. Con-gra tu la t ions a re also in order f o r Arcadian Bob Molenaar, who took first in the high jump and tied fo r first in the pole vault .

L a r r y Fabunmi, our b ro ther f rom Niger ia , gave a serious paper on "Afr ico-Amer ican Relations," in which he corrected many misappre-hensions about the so-called " D a r k Cont inent" and directed a f ew well-meant s laps a t those who persis t in d e l i b e r a t e l y misrepresent ing Af r i ca to Americans . A f t e r t he in-tense applause had been allowed to subside, John Giebink arose to present a humor paper of a few choice and some not so choice re-marks and anecdotes. When the indignant cries of "F ine h im!" had subsided. Bill F laher ty announced the b i r th and vital s ta t is t ics of Timothy Richard w h i l e pass ing around cigars . A business meet ing followed, and then Del De Young made his repor t a s master-cri t ic of the evening. He found Arcadian Fabunmi ' s serious paper one of the best we have had all year, to which opinion the group vigorously as-

sented. He complimented Arcadian

Giebink on his choice of anecdotes

and concluded by saying t h a t the

meet ing as a whole had been a

superior one. At this point Jack

Hascup belatedly arose to pass

around c igars to announce t h a t he

was, no longer wear ing his f r a t .

pin, but was en t rus t ing i t to a

" f r i end . " When the group per-

mit ted J ack ' s face to r e tu rn to i ts

KNICKERBOCKER

Kappa E t a Nu welcomes Jack Dykst ra , Danfor th , Illinois; John Jo ldersma, Grand Haven, Michi-gan ; Bob Oudra, Berwyn, Illinois; John Sutliff, Niskayuna, N.Y.; and Hamid Tadayon, Tadjr ich, Teheran, I r an ; into the rea lms of Knicker-bocker.

The f r a t e r n i t y this year again, as a service to the s tudent govern-ment on campus, provided the necessary equipment and publicity to promote active student part ici-pation in the recent election for s tudent council officers.

A beautiful clear night set the s tage fo r a hayride a t Lakewood stables on Fr iday , April 21. This was one of the Knicks' tradit ional date nights, and according to all of those who at tended — a good one. Ref reshments and dancing followed the ride. George Kamps was chair-man fo r th is event.

D E L P H I - E M M I E

Two in the morning is not the most propitious hour for the muse to str ike, in spi te of tradit ional belief on the subject . Let it suffice to say, therefore , tha t on April 28 the Delphians and Emmies met for a r iotous (relat ively s p e a k i n g ) meeting. In case the reasonabil i ty of meet ing fo r a meeting is in doubt, may I sugges t —

The meet ing opened officially as Guy ("The Voice") Vander J a g t presented a very appropr ia te devo-tional meditation. Delphian Presi-dent Marge (" I 've never called a gir l a n y t h i n g — " ) Angus and Em-mie President C r a i g ( " — p r i n t -able") Van Zanten exchanged cere-monial pla t i tudes (yes, tha t ' s been said before) . Then Hap ("To have but known") Bos took over as emcee.

Kathy (This seems undignified) Veltman took to the piano, and Bob ( "Texas" ) De Young led Jack ("Another Voice") Wickert and the congregation in singing, for lack of a bet ter word. A f t e r Dave (The less said the bet ter) Hager had garbled a serious paper titled "This is very Intellectual Stuff ," or "The Fed Line," Delphian Angus sang beaut iful ly " S t r a n g e Music". Del-phians Mary Olert and Erna Piek presented a very brilliant humor in the form of a dialogue, I think, titled "F l igh ty , " to remain con-sistent with the theme of the eve-ning which, if I neglected to men-tion it, was "F ly ing High". Doro-thy Kranendonk concluded w i t h some very wit ty and significant observations on the na tu re and

course of the meeting, a f t e r which

everyone made f o r J e r r y ("Coke

Machine") Boerman's re f reshment

stand.

KNICK-DORIAN

Sociology Students Visit Chicago Slums

Sociological problems were met first hand by the sociology s tu-dents who traveled to Chicago April 21 to 23 with the Sociology Club. Slums, neglected children, alcoholics, and physically and mental ly handicapped people were among the fields of inquiry pur-sued.

Chaperoned by Professor Robert Vanderham of t h e S o c i o l o g y Depar tment , club members visited the Chicago Good-Will Industr ies on Fr iday af ternoon, toured the Skid Row section the same a f t e r -noon, and also went to the Erie Set t lement House. The i t inerary f o r Sa turday morning included the Pacific Garden Mission.

At the Good-Will Industr ies fac tory , guides showed the 21 vis-i tors the many and various jobs which are offered with pay to physically handicapped and men-tal ly re tarded people. The plant is operated solely by these handi-capped people, the products being sold in the seven Good-Will Indus-t r ies ' s t o r e s in C h i c a g o and elsewhere in the country.

The Erie Set t lement House, which is operated under the aus-pices of the Church Extension Board of the Chicago Presbytery, offered an excellent s tudy in com-munity cooperation in providing recreation, good leadership, and religious instruction in poverty-stricken areas. Of par t icular inter-est was the meet ing with Chicago's Mother of the Year f o r 1949, Mrs. Savino, who gave 1,589 hours of entirely volunteer service to Erie House last year .

The third stop f o r the club was

Pacific Garden Mission, which is

located in the midst of the drink,

dope, and squalor of Skid Row.

The Mission is a r e fuge fo r the

many t rans ien ts on Skid Row. I t

is always open to t he "lost souls"

as long as there is room to take

them in. Pacific Garden Mission

houses dope and dr ink addicts of

both sexes on several of its 13

floors and serves as a Service-

men's Center on o ther floors.

The two-day visit was regarded

by all as a t remendous experience.

A r r a n g e m e n t s were made by Lamont Dirkse, Sociology Club

president . Professor Vanderham,

and a committee composed of

Irene Lit t le, Jean Van Den Biesen,

Wayne Fieldhouse, and George

Schultz.

1&C "Kccffalc The bands played on and on and

a new school spir i t filled the hear t s of all. Of course, some of the gir ls a t Voorhees" Hall found the torches most effective fo r the i r water -throwing contest , but the all-out spir i t and a good tu rnou t a t the polls will go down as a memory at Hope.

Mrs. K's arm is out of the cast now and the collection of auto-g r aphs is many. It is to be placed on the Voorhees Lounge mantle as a reminder aga ins t carelessness.

Every t ime Jack Hascup tried to pin Roberta Van Gilder, the house-mother walked into the lounge, but he finally succeeded a f t e r a third t ry .

Dot Milne received Roy Walchen-bach's pin via the U. S. Mail. Roy is in his first year a t Syracuse Med School.

Best wishes a re also extended to Bobby Kerr , former ly of Hope, and Keppel Cloetingh on their recent engagement .

Campaign for the coming weeks: Let ' s get on the sidewalks! The g ra s s is ge t t i ng greener all the time, but f rom where I sit, there 's only a patch here and there with hardly no corners a t all. Let 's help to make our campus beaut i ful .

Students, Hollanders View Roosevelt Film

Three hundred and f i f t y towns-people ga thered a t Temple build-ing a t 8 p.m. on April 19, fo r the showing of Frankl in Roosevelt 's film biography, "The Roosevelt Story ." Because of the success of this event, the In ternat ional Rela-tions Club, who sponsored the pro-g ram, is making plans to present other service projects of this type during the next college year.

IRC adopted a new and adequate consti tution at i ts business meet-ing held on April 19. A nomina-tions committee was appointed and new officers were elected a t the regu la r meet ing last n ight .

ALPHA SIGMA ALPHA A th ree Act Fan tasy , "Spr ing

A f t e r s t ag ing a minor disappear-ing act in the first act, the delicious dinner, the g i r ls in the i r gaily colored fo rmals and their tuxedoed escorts sett led down to an extreme-ly en te r ta in ing p rogram. This act of the f a n t a s y s ta r red several of the more ta lented members of the sorori ty. "Gladiola" Gill versed the girls on the correct topics of con-versation when they may find themselves dancing with someone other than the one and only. "Rosie" Rozeboom t i c k l e d t h e ivories of the piano to the pre t ty theme of a Bouquet of Songs. "Da isy" De Vet te displayed excep-tional ta lent in her rendition of the blues in the third scene called "Blue-Bells." "L i ly" Leese, in one of her most humorous moods pre-sented the "Nosegay of Nonsense" which provided the l is teners with many side-spli t t ing laughs. The third act of the f an t a sy was the dreamy music of Dick Ruch and his orchest ra , to which the 60 couples a t tend ing d a n c e d . Thus ended a very s u c c e s s f u l ASA spring par ty .

Although the Sibs were not as fo r tuna te as the Arcadians in re-ceiving c igars a t their meeting, they extend the i r best wishes and congra tu la t ions to Bert Van Gilder and Jack Hascup upon becoming pinned!

At the April 21st meeting, the Sibs were real ly boiled in the academic stew by basing their l i terary meet ing on Will Shake-speare himself . A f t e r devotions by M a r g a r e t Radcliff, Eloise Hinkamp enlightened the group with some litt le-known f a c t s about Shake-speare, while Liz Schmidt over-whelmed Sibs by a clever take-off on some of his best known works. The inimitable combination of Jeanne Toussaint and Lorry Drake enter ta ined via gu i ta r and piano, such as Sibs had never heard be-fore! Marge Aardema served as critic.

Liz Schmidt was also named Pan-Hellenic representa t ive a t this meeting.

FRATER THINCLADS WIN CROWN Although the 1950 Interfratern-

ity track title was taken by a nar-rower margin than has character-ized the affair for several years, the usually potent Fraternal thin-clads possessed enough power to outpoint their closest rivals by ten markers to win.

The Fraters registered 58% points, while the Independents fin-ished second with a total of 48%. The Cosmopolitans scored 39Mi, the Knickerbockers 29, the Arcadians 25, and the Emersonians 22.

The Knicks' s tar distance runner, Ike Huyser, came through with firsts in the 440, 880, and the mile run to capture individual honors for the meet with a total of 15 points. In the grueling trio of events, Huyser ran the 440 in 58.7,

the 880 in 2:31.5, and the mile in

5:21.

The number of first place ratings

won by each team was remarkably close with the Independents taking 3% first, the Knicks and the Cos-mos 3, the Fraters 2%, the Emmies 2, and the Arcadians l>/s.

Since the f r a t track , m e | t was scheduled early this year, a soft-ball game, featur ing the faculty and the leading f r a t league team at the time, will replace the meet in the schedule of events for May Day.

GOLFERS WIN FOUR Linkmen Loom As

Title Threat The veteran version of the 1950

Hope golf team is off to a rousing start . The squad, under the tute-lage of Coach Timmer, has swept over three nonconference oppo-nents and one conference foe.

The golfers garnered their first victory April 18 as they mowed down Muskegon JC by a 16% to V/2 margin at the Saugatuck Golf Course. Bill Kloote, MIAA medal-ist of 1949, led the team with a 78. He was followed by Howie Jalving with a 79; Paul Mulder, 80; Dick Kruizenga, 86; Bob Houtman, 88; and Heinie Visser, 88. The Muskegon team, last year's state champs, suffered from lack of practice because of weather conditions.

Edge Hillsdale

Hope won their first MIAA encounter April 22 w h e n t h e y edged Hillsdale 1 0 ^ to 8^4 at the Saugatuck course. The Dutch played consistent golf to rack up their second victory. The scores: Howie Jalving, 80; Heinie Visser, 84; Bill Kloote, 80; Paul Mulder, 88; Bob Houtman, 80; and Dick Huff, 81. In lieu of the victory over Hillsdale, Hope now looms as a major threat to capture the MIAA crown.

In a three-way meet in Grand Rapids on April 25 the Hope linksters overwhelmed Calvin and Grand Rapids JC. On the windy Green Ridge course, Hope gathered 1 3 ^ points, while Calvin took 4%, and JC IV2. The scores: Howie Jalving, 83; Heinie Visser, 90; Bill Kloote, 84; Paul Mulder, 80; Bob Houtman, 87; and Dick Huff, 87.

The golf team's capturing a first place in the MIAA would be a big step toward Hope's winning of the All Sports Trophy. The Dutch will face more stiff opposition in peren-nially strong Alma, and improved Albion and Kalamazoo teams. The Hope squad travels to Alma and to Kalamazoo April 28 and May 1, r e s p e c t i v e l y , in i m p o r t a n t matches.

Hope Nine Takes Third Win on Jaysee Bobbles

Four unearned runs provided Hope with its third baseball victory of the season, a 4-3 decision over Grand Rapids Junior College in a game that went ten innings at Riv-erview Park. In other recent com-petition, the Hollanders racked up one win in league action while dropping two contests. The Schou-ten-men defeated Alma 1 to 0, took a G-4 setback at the hands of Hillsdale, and lost to Kalamazoo 1 to 0.

Against Grand Rapids JC, the Hollanders went hitless until the seventh inning, and were trailing 3 to 0 until the bottom of the eighth when Al VanderKolk dou-bled and scored on Raider third baseman Stan Levanduski's error.

With Hope trailing 3 to 1 in the ninth, Con Boeve walked and ad-vanced to third on a stolen base and an infield out. Zeke Piersma then pounded one off the glove of JC centerfielder Bob Sack and circled the bases, Boeve ahead of him, while Sack was chasing the ball. With this turn of events, the game went into extra innings.

Brink Does It Don Hoffman retired the Jaysees

in order in the tenth, and Jack Marema was the lead-off man for Hope in their half of the inning. Marema reached first on a bobble by Raider shorststop Beezalski, and went to third on a bunt by Van-derKolk. Pinch-hitter Don Brink then stepped to the plate and blasted a single through short to send Marema home with the win-ning run.

Tennis Squad Wins Twice

After Losing To Calvin Prospects for a better than aver-

age tennis team still seem bright

a f te r three matches, two against

non-league foes and one in MIAA

competition. The Hope netmen

dropped their opening contest to

a powerful Calvin squad 6 to 3,

but bounced back to knock aside

Grand Rapids Junior College 8 to

2, and Hillsdale 5 to 2.

In taking their first MIAA match,

the Wel'.er-coached netmen dropped

only two singles matches to Hills-

dale for a 5-2 decision. Gerry

Gnade and Chuck Votaw met de-

feat in the number one and three

matches.

Bob Becksfort, Ron Bos, and Neil VanDis cleaned up in the other three singles events to insure the victory. In doubles competition, the combinations of Becksfort and Bos, and Gnade and Votaw were both victorious.

On Friday, Hope will entertain Alma's tennis squad. Next week the Hollanders will play host to Kalamazoo on Tuesday and travel to Albion on Friday.

The general answer to the question as to whether "Fight ing Dutch" or "Free Booters" would be the best nickname for Hope athletic squads has been, "You can have 'em both." It seems that the recent nickname contest has resulted in little more than unhappiness for everyone con-cerned. The majority of students have been unhappy because the con-test committee didn't pick a better pair of possible names, and the committee has been unhappy because nobody likes its choices.

The straight story is that outside of the usual assortment of lions, panthers, and other over-worked zoological specimens, there wasn't much to choose from. "Free Booters" and "Fight ing Dutch" were among the few names that were even worthy of consideration, and if you can think of a better one you should have entered it. Because of a desire to give the student body the final say in the selection of a new nick-name, the student council has decided to take about 25 of the best suggestions and ask the students to rate them. The name gett ing the highest ra t ing on this vote will be considered for the new moniker of Hope teams.

The student council has been more than cooperative throughout the entire procedure of choosing a new name, first in promoting the con-test, and secondly in giving the student body a share in the final choice. It seems that the council has done everything in its power to sat isfy the students. Whether the final selection of a name will really be something worthwhile or just something else to gripe about is now a question that rests with the student body. The full participation of students in the coming vote should insure the best name being chosen; disinterest will undoubtedly spell failure for the entire drive. So don't gripe — vote!

In making such a selection, it might be well to remember that pub-licity is the factor that can make or break the name. And the chief means of publicity in this case will be through the newspapers. With-out the cooperation of the papers and continual use of the name by them, it won't last long.

One of the peculiar t ra i ts of the average newspaperman is that he likes things short, especially when he has to fit them into a head or headline. Therein lies the cause of that disease peculiar to all editors — abreviationitis. A complication of this malady finds reporters and editors playing havoc with a name even within the context of a story itself. Rather than overwork a moniker, they kick it around a bit and come up with a dozen expressions, all of which mean the same thing. For example, the Wolverines become the wolves, the Tigers become the Tiges, the Indians become the tribe, and it's hard telling what some of the names suggested fo r Hope would become.

It 's quite probable, however, that "Fight ing Dutch" wouldn't take long to become just plain "Dutch," the very nickname that the contest was held to find a replacement for. In fact it already has. The Hol-land Sentinel, rather than wait for an official name, has proceeded to use the term "Fighting Dutch" with the following result: To describe Hope's baseball team in an article on the Grand Rapids JC game, the Sentinel used "Fight ing Dutch" in its subhead, and then once again in the story. Jus t plain "Dutch" was used twice, and "Dutchmen" once. Thus, it isn't hard to see that if the original goal of the contest, to get away from the "Dutch" idea, is to be achieved, it will have to be done with something else.

What would happen when "Free Booters" lands on a sports desk probably wouldn't be as bad. The man with the pencil would simply knock off "Free," and come up with "Booters." If that ' s still too long, he just picks up his pencil again and he's got "Boots." As f a r as nick-names are concerned, "Boots" or "Booters" should be good. At least it 's original, and accomplishes the goal of avoiding the "Dutch" label.

It 's improbable that anybody's going to associate "Boots" with a group of buccaneers who were authorized by the Dutch government to prey upon Spanish shipping, but who cares? When you read about the Tigers, you don't visualize a jungle setting. It 's just a cheaper and different way of saying Detroit. Therefore, it seems to us that "Tree Booters" should be acceptable. If you don't agree, that ' s your privi-lege; but don't just gripe about it — do something about it. Vote when you're given the chance!
