HOPE COLLEGE ANCHOR LXXII—9 Hope College — Holland, Michigan December 4, 1959

VIENNA SUMMER SCHOOL MEMBERS from 1959 with Dean Hinga pause just before going into the Alps on a toboggan party. Plans for this years trip are beginning now.

Traditional Vespers to Open Advent Season

Advent traditionally begins at Hope College with I lie Christmas Vespers held the first Sunday in Decem-ber. This year the service will take place on Sunday at 4 p.m. in the Dimnent Memorial Chapel.

Both the chancel choir and the women's choir have pre-pared music for the service. The chancel choir, under the direc-tion of Mr. Roger Rietberg, will sing a group of Old World Christmas carols.

Accompanied by a brass quar-tet composed of Dan Ritsema, Marshall Elzinga, Mel Ver Steeg, and H a n d V a n d e r Meulen, the choir will sing, "How Brightly Shines t h e Morning Star," by Nicholi.

The women's Choir, directed by Mr. Anthony Kooiker, will also sing selected carols, includ-ing the old American piece, "Never Was a Child So Lovely."

Shelby Braaksma, a senior music student from Wisconsin, will provide instrumental music in the form of an organ solo. Three vocal solos will be sung by Marilyn Scudder, Heldred De Witte, and Leonard Lee.

Dr. Joseph Zsiros, professor at the college, will preside as minister at the Vesper Service.

Mr. Kooiker, as chairman of the Vespers committee was as-sisted by faculty members Mr. Rietberg, Miss Jant ina Holle-man, and Mrs. Norma Baugh-man.

Students serving on the com-mittee were Helga Gotte, San-dra De Koning, Steve Midder-nacht, and Greg Bryson.

Opus Deadline Announced Charles Lemmon, Editor of

Opus the Hope College literary magazine, has announced that the deadline for submitting con-tributions to this publication will be February 1, 1960.

Also he has emphasized that only students who have sub-scribed this week will receive copies.

The editor of Opus wants to make it especially clear that this magazine is a student pub-lication, and everyone, not only those with past literary experi-ence or outstanding talent, is urged to contribute.

The editorial board is not as formidable as it may seem, but welcomes all worthwhile entries.

Saturday Classes Are Official Next Year

Beginning the first semester in 19G0-'61 school year, classes will be held 5Vfc days per week, according to a decision recently handed down by the Administrative Policies Committee.

To this time, classes met five days per week although college enrollment has been increasing. "Scheduling problems forced us to this decision," said Dr. VanderLugt.

Complications Arise "Already this year we ran into complications in scheduling as departments filled the Monday-

Wednesday-Friday block.

Announce 1960 Vienna Summer School Plans

Details of the 1960 Hope Col-lege Vienna Summer School were announced today by Dr. Paul G. Fried, director of the Hope College European pro-gram.

The Hope group will leave New York on the SS Ascania on June 11th.

For the fifth consecutive year Hope students will spend ap-proximately eleven weeks in Europe, six weeks of which will be devoted to an intensive aca-demic program in Vienna.

Courses announced for 1960 include Art History, Music Lit-erature, History of Europe in the Middle Ages, Recent Euro-pean Literature, Viennese Dra-ma, and three German Lan-guage courses. Students will be able to earn up to six semester hours during the Vienna Sum-mer Session.

As in previous years, the group will land in France and begin its extended study tour of Western Europe with a series of high level briefings with European political and military leaders in Paris and Bonn.

New features of the program this year will be a three day

visit to Berlin, and a stop in Oberammergau where the world famous Passion Plays are held. On their way to Vienna stu-dents will travel through the heart of the glacier world of the Austrian Alps.

Concerts, operas, recitals, at-tendance at plays, visits to ar t collections, excursions to points

Hope Receives Study Grant

Hope has received a grant of $ 3 8 , 9 0 0 from the National Science Foundation to conduct a Summer Institute for High School Science and Mathematics Teachers, according to Dr. Fol-kert.

The summer session will be-gin June 27 and c o n t i n u e through August 5, 1960.

Stipends will be available to 40 senior high mathematics and science teachers who wish to attend the six-week session.

A maximum of six semester hours of undergraduate credit will be offered which can be ap-plied toward an A.B. degree.

"Next year it would be neces-

sary to have 8th hour classes or

Saturday morning classes.

"Since 8th hour classes would

run into various programs, the

committee decided to have the morning classes," continued the

Dean.

Other Reasons

Dr. VanderLugt also pointed out other reasons for Saturday morning classes.

"Some instructors h a v e 5 straight hours without a break in their schedule.

"Now," the Dean stated, "by scheduling the 3 hour classes in a Tuesday-Thursday - Saturday block, the instructor and the student will both benefit."

Details About Classes

Already some of the details about the Saturday classes are being considered.

"Classes will probably begin at 8:00 since chapel will not be held Saturday," reported the Dean.

"Also, most of these classes will be the freshman-sophomore classes," he concluded.

Dr. VanderLugt also added that at this time there are not definite plans to discontinue the two hour courses in favor of three hour courses although more classtime is available.

Editorials Let's Call It Apathy

At times various rulings governing aspects of student life are passed that provoke the student. However, the student, although provoked, does no more than complain about his lot and does noth-ing about the ruling but admit defeat.

Some current rules on campus about which the student com-plains are the informal clothing rule, dorm rules as lights-out for women and chapel rules as the time for chapel.

Today's Hope student views these rulings and registers com-plaints to his peers. Then he gives into the ruling without raising pertinent questions about the rule or without looking for reasons behind the rule.

For, the average student refuses to do anything about his local environment because he falsely rationalizes that he cannot change the rule or that he cannot help form new rulings.

The Hope student is lacking the initiative to actively rule himself. The student will often wrestle with a problem but usually drops the problem without drawing conclusions as in the case of the honor code. As a result, the administration and others must often govern the student.

Yet, the student at Hope has many avenues on which he can register his complaints and bring action in governing himself. For example:

Hope has a college newspaper with no administrative censor-ship but, the paper seldom receives any communication from the student about his complaints.

Hope has a student council with untested power but, the council stands in disuse because of a disinterested student body.

Hope has several student-administrative committees which stand ready to receive student complaints and act upon these complaints but, the committees stand idle as students never try to govern themselves effectively.

Hope has personnel who sympathize with student complaints when they know the complaint, but, the personnel stand in the dark as the student seldom utters his thoughts.

The student on Hope's campus who takes no interest in his welfare is a maturing adult who will soon leave this school to live in a society in which he will govern himself.

Now is the time to learn how to fight for one's welfare. Now is the time to learn when one should rebel against certain rulings. Now is the time for the individual to learn how to exist with rules with which he disagrees.

Now is the time for toworrow's citizen to govern himself today.

Scope

Modest Proposal For A Chapel Service

On Saturday Classes Saturday classes serve as tangible evidence to the expansion

occurring at Hope College. The decision bringing Saturday classes has been long in coming, but with the fast growth of the school the decision could not be postponed any longer.

This announcement of Saturday classes should not bring any disruption to the college campus. True that the characteristic ease of Friday night may be changed for some, the student must remember he is at college for an education for himself and not for a social life.

Moreover, by scheduling the weekly studying properly and by planning the weekend activity carefully, a Saturday morning class will become a natural part of each individual's educative experi-ence.

I suggest tha t someone read some passages from Kierke-gaard 's Attack Upon Christen-dom. That an arrangement of Czerny's Excercises be played as the organ prelude. That the opening hymn be dispensed with.

Then read the message to the Laodicean church in the third chapter of Revelations.

"But strangely enough the New Testament takes no ac-count of the thing there is all-too-great a mass of in this world, that is, of twaddle, pat-ter, smallness, mediocrity, play-ing at Christianity, t ransform-ing everything into mere words.

Owing to this it is almost im-possible by the aid of the New Testament to punch a blow at real life, at the actual world in which we live, where for one certified hypocrite there are a hundred thousand twaddlers, for one certified heretic, a hundred thousand nincompoops.

Success! by Marilyn Scudder

The power of united effort was certainly displayed in the "Relief fo r Japan" clothing drive of November 6 and 7.

Only through the combined efforts of the "Y" Service Com-mission, Holland W o m e n ' s Guild, Hope College administra-tion and students and individ-ual citizens of the community could the drive have been a suc-cess!

The publicity w a s f r e e l y spread through churches, pos-ters articles and announcements. The response was wonderful.

Students volunteered to col-lect and pack clothes while townspeople donated the cloth-ing.

Approximately a t o n o f clothes was received. Through-out the following two weeks there always seemed to be someone who could help sort and pack.

If you don't think this was a big job, just ask any one of the packers how many clothes it takes to make a ton. But through everyone's persistence, encouragement and hard work the packing was completed No-vember 21.

Half the clothes were then shipped to Japan via Church World Service and the other half were sent directly to Rev. Borchert in Japan with funds generously donated f rom in-dividuals in the community.

Gratitude, appreciation a n d thanks are extended to those who helped in bringing about the successful consummation of the drive. This drive vividly illustrated the saying, "In unity there is strength."

to entertain high notions of what it is to be a man.

On the one hand it holds up the ideal; on the other hand, when it depicts wrong actions, one sees that it has neverthe-less a high notion of what it is to be a man: but twaddling, nin-compoopism, mediocrity, are constantly spared its blows.

* * * * •

But, as has been said, the dif-ficulty about the New Testa-ment is that, requiring as it does ideally and fighting against spirits, it does not once take aim at this immense corpus which in "Christendom" is con-stantly producing the Christian orthodoxy and the Christian seriousness which expresses it-self in the fact that "witnesses to the t ru th" (what a satirical self-contradiction) make a car-eer and a success in this world by depicting on Sundays how truth must suffer in this world.

"Of this fac t one must take

due notice. And when one has duly noticed it, one will see tha t a f t e r all the New Testament is in the right, tha t things do go as the New Testament has fore-told.

In the midst of this immense population of "Christians", this shoal of Christians, there live here and there some individ-uals, a single individual.

For him the way is narrow (cf. the New Testament) , he is hated by all (cf. the New Test-ament) , to put him to death is regarded as a divine service (cf. the New Testament) .

This a f t e r all is a curious book, the New Testament; it really is in the r ight; f o r these individuals, this single individ-ual—why, yes, they would be the real Christians."

A vcfience Does Not live Up To Film's Humanity

by Richard Jaarsma

To say t h a t The Diary of Anne Frank was a sensitive, touching masterpiece as a film would not be over-statement, but would perhaps not really meet the requirements of des-cription.

It is too difficult to describe the stark humanity of the mo-tion picture and one can only say "I saw people today".

There was no sentimentality involved: human suffering, hu-man joy, anger, all the emo-tions were depicted in a context that left no room for false tears.

I am sure that the hanker-chiefs that might have been pulled out, were done so be-cause their owners were en-grossed in the reality of the film. Because of this, the film restores one's faith in the whole industry.

SO M U C H FOR SOME-THING which cannot be ade-quately praised. It is the aud-ience, however, which showed its t rue colors and bared itself as a group of insensitive clods.

They did not deserve what they got, and getting it, pro-claimed to anyone who might conceivably have cared, tha t they did not understand the ele-m e n t a l of man's existence.

GRANTED, THE FILM, be-cause of the nature of its sub-ject matter, was often quite humorous and deliciously so But it was not a raucous, slap-stick sort of comedy, and it did not deserve the peals of obscene laughter tha t it got.

Neither a r e whistles a n d frenzied applause merited for something which, I believe, is at least a cut above burlesque. Yet the audience reminded one

of an Elizabethan pack of illit-erates going to see Shake-speare's Othello, and heckling the characters on the stage.

THERE IS ONE SCENE in the film which, because of the excellent acting, became some-thing of a monument to any and all dreams of first love.

The scene was basically hum-orous and one could not have seen it without chuckling quiet-ly and remembering his own first, feeble at tempts a t going fur ther than shaking hands with a member of the opposite sex.

But because of the universal-ity of the scene, the humor soon became infused with a touch of sadness. Unfortunately, t h i s sadness was missed by the audi-ence, and when the two young people finally kissed each other, it was met by a vulgar demon-stration of lust that has not been equaled since Nero was emperor of Rome.

THE FILM SHOWED THE discerning m o v i e - g o e r one thing: that today's people have four emotions, of which three are various types of laughter (nervous, obscene, and artificial) and the other one is pure, un-mitigated lust.

I suppose we can be thankful to have discovered this; it will save us from exerting ourselves in t rying to portray the dillem-ma of existence.

I NO LONGER WONDER at Hollywood's insistence a t put-ting out the t rash that it does. The movie industry has learned from the s tar t what it took the critic hundreds of years to learn: tha t the movie-goer is not worthy of anything better.

In this they are completely justified.

Thomas Van Dahm, professor of Economics and Business Admin-istration, in a recent interview.

This year the Placement Ser-vice located many part-time jobs for students.

"Prior to the opening of school this fall, we sent form letters to most of the business houses in Holland, outlining our services and requesting that they consider us if they have any personnel needs," explained Mr. Van Dahm, director of this placement service.

"There was an excellent re-sponse, and much placement was done as soon as students arrived at school.

Many of the summer job openings are in the field of Youth Camp work. Calls come to the college for counselors, nurses, and waterf ront direc-tors, as well as other positions.

"We also receive calls fo r students to work in summer re-sorts, in industry, and in gov-ernment jobs. Government open-ings include working in State and National Parks.

48 Doing Student Teaching If you have ever eaten at a table in the Terrace Room where

the main topic of conversation was strangely centered on the making of Indian tom-toms in the terms sprinkled with 'unit', 'coordination', and 'preparation', you dined with student teachers.

In a program directed by Mr. J. J . Ver Beek, College Director, Mr. Riemersma, Secondary Co-ordinator, and Miss Van Vyven, Elementary Coordinator, senior students having 20-29 hours of education courses are placed in Holland schools.

This semester 48 students are being loaned to Holland class-rooms with the figure to rise to 75 second semester.

The student teacher gradually takes over the responsibility of the classroom under the regular classroom teacher, his super-visor, who along with a coordi-nator and the college director evaluates his work.

Those in elementary teaching spend either a morning or an afternoon with their classes while those in secondary train-ing teach two high school peri-ods.

In addition each t e a c h e r makes a book, a catalogue of experience, for fu tu re reference. For teaching and attending a weekly problems session, stu-dents receive 7-9 college credit hours.

D/scuss Changing Spring Vacation

by Janet Riemersma The f a r sighted students who

are already looking ahead to Spring vacation have discovered with some dismay that this year, Easter week-end and vaca-tion time will not coincide.

And unfortunately there can be no change made in the exist-ing school calendar for the sea-son.

When the idea of chang-ing the schedule was intro-duced by the Student Coun-cil, the administration was understanding a n d e v e n agreed that such a change would be desirable. However, this mat ter affects

not only Hope, but all schools in the MIAA.

These colleges co-ordi-nate their vacation times so that the sports program will be facilitated in the best way.

really nation-wide in scope. We actually do very little summer placement in this particular area."

"When it comes to career op-portunities, our office serves as a clearing house. Students can obtain information about vari-ous openings through this ser-vice," he continued.

"We also arrange interviews for the Seniors with some com-panies."

The Job Placement Service does not handle teaching posi-tions or graduate school open-ings.

Mr. Vander Borgh is in charge of the educational posi-tion placement, and Mr. Wol-ters has information on grad-uate schools.

"A number of students are actually placed, but many more get information on a position and then follow up tha t lead themselves," Mr. Van Dahm de-clared.

"Personal interviews w i t h company representatives are us-ually conducted in the second semester.

There is a great variety of fields into which a graduate may be placed, ranging from the Red Cross and the YMCA to retailing, manufacturing, in-surance, and g o v e r n m e n t agencies."

There is much literature and information on career openings and graduate school scholar-ships in the Job Placement Service office, on the third floor of Van Raalte Hall. Students are invited to use this material. Graduate school catalogs are in the Records Office.

ALCOR AND BLUE KEY members met Friday with some of Hope's foreign students to begin a International Club which will meet monthly. Photo—Leander Wang

Begin International Club Serving as hosts at a dinner

party held in the Kletz for the foreign students were Alcor and Blue Key members on Nov. 21.

The main purpose of the din-ner was to draw up plans for a closer relationship between students—especially the foreign students on campus.

One outcome of the evening was the decision to change the traditional International Night as sponsored by Alcor to an ex-hibition composed of exhibits of different countries.

These exhibits will be pre-

sented by the foreign students and will be modeled on the ex-hibits at the I.R.C. exhibition.

Another outcome was that these international meetings will continue on a monthly bases. These meetings will be so the students might have a chance of meeting the foreign students on campus.

These meetings will consist of a dinner to which friends will be invited.

Chairman of the committee to arrange these monthly meet-ings is Walred Karachy.

against Northern Michigan at the Civic Center last Wednes-day, the Hope cage squad travels to Sheboygan, Wisconsin tonight, where Lakeland College will be the host team.

This will be the first look at the Lakeland five for the Hope varsity, as they are a new addi-tion to the schedule.

While past performance is not always a valid indication of team strength. Lakeland won seven games while losing nine in its league last year.

The men from Grand Rapids, if unable to field a team in other sports categories, invari-ably produce a basketball team worthy of respect.

Period of Growth Brings Calvin's Enrollment Up

by Philip De Velder A little to the north-east of

Holland lies the city of Grand Rapids. One of the institutions of higher education in this city is our rival—Calvin College.

Founded in 1876 to provide education for men wanting to enter the ministry, Calvin show-ly developed into what it is to-day.

However, growth into a full four year college was slow and it wasn't until 1912 that the first BA degree was granted.

Calvin's first president was appointed in 1919.

Since then, the college has grown rapidly having 33 stu-dents in the Junior College in 1910 to 1908 students today.

Calvin was founded and is run by the Christian Reformed Church. This church is a mem-ber of the Calvinistic group of

churches which broke a w a y from the Reformed Church in America over doctrinal disputes.

Calvin has a large campus in Grand Rapids and it was recent-ly given another large piece of land on the outskirts of the city.

Calvin fur ther differs f rom Hope due to the fact of its close relations with the Calvin Sem-inary.

Several members of Hope's faculty, including Dr. Kruithof, Dr. DeHaan, Dr. DeGraaff, and Mr. ten Hoor plus Dean Vander Lugt graduated from Calvin.

The two big days of the year for the Hope-Calvin rivalry will be when we play against the Knights in basketball.

Admission to the games is difficult to obtain as is evi-denced by the large lines of people when tickets are to be sold.

Time To Take Action With Panama Canal

by Ron Chandler

It would seem that it has become a distinct political dis-advantage for a major power to maintain any sort of control over a canal or waterway which lies inside the boundaries of a foreign country.

Britain and France were forced to eat humble pie in 1956 when the war over the control of the Suez Canal was decided in Egypt 's favor in the United Na-tions.

Today, the United States appears to be headed toward a similar crisis over the question of con-trol of the Panama Canal.

United States policy planners do not seem to have developed any well-formulated approach which will enable us to meet a blow-up in Panama with anything other than more diplomatic bungling

of an all-too-familiar nature.

During the Suez aflfair, the United States had an op-portunity to seize the diplomatic initiative, and in having done so, could have settled the knotty problem of control over internationally used waterways.

We could have proposed that waterways such as the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal, whose users represent virtually every nation in the world, be put under the con-trol and supervision of an agency or commission of the United Nations.

Since the great powers seem hesitant about placing final control over their lifelines of commerce in the hands of the so-called "irresponsible" nations, and the small nations resent anything resembling an encroachment on their sovereignty by the more powerful states, the solution which makes use of the United Nations would seem to be the most promising and the most workable.

The most propitious moment to have made such a proposal would have been in 1956, when the idea of U.N. control of canals might have become a universally acceptable principle.

As it was, we appeared to many as the staunch defender of Egypt 's r ight to nationalize an international waterway.

Now, if we are unwilling to allow Panama to nationalize the canal which we control, we will open ourselves to the charge of following a policy based upon a double s tandard . '

Will we find ourselves suppressing an armed at tempt by Panama, and perhaps other Latin American nations, to wrest f rom us the control over the Panama Canal ?

The recent anti-American riots and demonstrations in Panama are not particularly hopeful indications.

A proposal f rom this country that the Panama Canal be internationalized might still be something of a diplo-matic master stroke.

It would remove opportunities for Russia to capitalize on any unrest that might develop in Latin America over this particular question. It would also set a precedent which might be applied somewhere else at some other time.

Finally, such a maneuver on our part might very well help to persuade Latin Americans that we are not neces-sarily on the side of those who would exploit the less fortunate nations of the world.

There is more at stake here than the fa te of a canal. We have to consider the more important matter of our relations with the Latin American nations.

The Panama Canal could well become a symbol, throughout these countries, of "Yankee imperialism," and, as such, could be-come the focal point of attack for all those in South and Central America who have bones to pick with the "Colossus of the North."

This, it seems to me, would be less desirable, from our stand-point, than placing the canal in the hands of an international agency in whose deliberations we would at least have a voice. The time to decide, however, is now.

The tide of nationalist sentiment does not wait for pro-crastinators.
