Winter Means-

Snow, Snow &

More Snow by Kathy Verduln

Rain falls alike on the just and on the unjust and so does snow, especially in Holland, Michigan!

The past two months have seen the Hopeite bravely defying near-blizzards (don't tell him they weren't.) to get to classes, angrily muttering to himself that this was worse than any story his grandfather ever im-pressed him with! Subtilely ar-tistic bruises in shades of laven-der and mahogany decorate the knees of those unfortunates who failed to step cautiously enough on the treacherous sidewalks. Stacks of unassorted snow boots, of which Taylor's alone has sold several hundred, lie around the doors of Hope's domitories and cottages in true Dutch fashion.

If anyone has laughed into your chattering teeth and dared to tell you to "just get used to it," relax. It doesn't mean you're a chicken - chested weakling. This has been one of the severest winters even native Hollanders have shivered through. No less than seventy inches of snow have drifted upon the city this year, the largest amount since 1936!

Probably the most spectacular indication of the heavy snow-falls came during the week of exams, when a colossal heap of icy snow came plummeting through the venerable roof of Van Raalte Hall, startling stu-dents in the midst of their math exam ("It sounded like someone was sliding down the roof," re-marked freshman Harriet Wein) and mustering an impromtu bucket brigade to dispose of the icy water.

According to the b u s i n e s s department, this damage will a m o u n t to approximately a hundred and fifty dollars, and will result in the construction of a special buffer rack over Van Raalte's roof. This rack is de-signed to break up heavy forma-tions of ice and snow before they reach the roof itself. In this way students need no longer worry about being drenched by an icy downpour inside the building.

Now if only something could be figured out for those incon-venient snowbanks and contrary sidewalks* . . . .

1962 Directory for Summer Jobs |s

Available for Students Needins Work A directory which lists sum-

mer jobs for college students throughout the United States is now available.

The Summer Employment Di-rectory gives the names and ad-dresses of 1,367 organizations which want to employ college students, t also gives the posi-tions open, salary and sugges-tions on how to make applica-tion — a sample letter of appli-cation and a personal data sheet.

There are all types of sum-mer camp jobs listed in every state; there are jobs at resorts in the New England States, the Northeastern States, the Great Lakes area, and the Western States. College students are needed in: 20 national parks and national monuments, 34 ranches

in the West and New York State, summer theatres in 15 states, business and industry at scattered locations, and various departments of the government. In addition to these popular summer employers, many other organizations list their needs for summer help.

Students w i s h i n g summer work make application to the employers listed in the direc-tory. Employers are included at their own request, and they in-vite applications from college students.

Students who wish to have a Summer Employment Directory for their own use may obtain a copy by sending $3.00 to the publisher; National Directory Service, Dept. C, Box 32065, Cincinnati 32, Ohio.

Ground will be broken for six dormitory units at Hope College late this spring, accord-ing to an announcement made this morning by President Irwin J. Lubbers. Cost of the units will be $1,500,000.

Five of the units will be used for men's housing and will be constructed on Thirteenth Street between Columbia and College Avenues, slightly west of Kollen Hall, the present 300-man dorm-itory.

The other unit for women will be built on the comer of Tenth Street and Columbia Avenue, directly across from Phelps Hall, the recently completed million-dollar women's dormitory.

Four of the three-story men's units will be joined to form two L-shaped dormitories with a single building extending slight-ly into the present Kollen Hall parking area. Each unit will accomodate fifty men in 25 double rooms and will have its own three room head resident apartment, lounge, recreation room, kitchenette, and storage areas.

The women's dormitory, which will face 10th Street, will have 54 double rooms, a head resi-dent's apartment, recreation and storage rooms.

Built with funds provided by a government loan paid by self-liquidating bonds, the units are scheduled for completion in the fall of 1963. Ralph Calder and Associates of Detroit are the architects,

Dutchtreat Week

lounge. Phelps, Voorhees and the cottages are deserted. A deafening silence falls on every telephone in women's residences. Not a single man has asked out a single girl . . . .

No, it's not the end of the world, and Cupid hasn't lost his bow; it's only Dutch Treat Week! This year's theme: "Cu-

pid's Capers." "Dutch Treat," in the original

version, means each date treats only himself—Dutchly enough. But in the history of Hope Col-lege, and in the hands of some clever Hope men, Dutch Treat has become a week-long Feb-ruary celebration with a , new connotation: the woman plans, the woman asks, the woman pays, and for a change, the man

is treated. Sponsored by the Student

Council, Dutch Tieat Week fol-lows an old tradition, and for one full week Hope women in-vite the men for dates. Aptly, next week includes Valentine's day, the Hope-Calvin game, a pizza party, and a week-end dance. Local restaurants often boost the week with "Dutch Treat" specials, while the Kletz

On Monday the big week bo-gins with the Bachelor Bank. Any girl who invests her name should draw quite a bit of in-terest, for names submitted on Monday in Van Raalte will be matched by chance in the af-ternoon with men nominated from each fraternity.

On campus or off, there seems to be some "Dutch Treat" spe-cial nearly every night:

Monday: Small , tables with Italian-type candlelight . . . lots and lots of chatter . . . even more pizza . . . It's the pizza break sponsored by the Sibylline sorority, cafeteria style in Dur-fee Hall, Juliana room at 8:00.-

Tuesday: Last day to get out those valentines! Tuesday only, special rate at the Holland Bowling Lanes.

Wednesday: Hope's "Flying Dutchmen" encounter with Cal-vin.

Thursday: Half-price day in the Kletz. Marilyn Vander Wilt will present her senior recital in Dimnent Chapel at 8:00 p.m. No admission. "Spartacus" opens at the Holland Theatre.

Friday: Two showings of the Mortarboard movie "Picnic" in the chapel, 7:00 and 9:00. Ad-

dance at the Civic Center 8:00 p.m. Music by A1 Kruiswyk's band; $1.25 per couple.

Salesmanship?

Freedom of Expression and Press Rated High In Nation's Colleges

"Students of the campus unite. Shed your bonds; assert your rights." This is not the appeal of Marx for the furthurance of class struggle, but the plea for the recognition of the problem that is present on campus and was made manifest in the reason for the recent dorm inspection.

Students with initiative met last week with members of the administration to air points of view on campus problems. From the open discussion a certain melioration of the sides occurred. The meeting was worthwhile because the "we-they" or student-administration relationship was changed in the light of positive goals. The weak point, the impossibility of all students sitting down and talking over ideas and problems with the administration, is compensated for, in part, by a Student Council.

The question raised here and at tthe meeting is the Student Council fulfilling the role of representing the students, solving problems among students, and creating closer contact with the administration. If the council actually functioned in a satisfactory manner, in practice there would not need to be a dorm check, and in theory the "we-they" relationship would become one of co-operation. The Council, with the initial leadership, could help students realize the responsibility to fellow students, countering the selfish trend today of, "What does not affect me is not my business and what I do affects no one else." Today's answer impli-citly to the age-old question, "Am I my brother's keeper?" is "No."

Hard thought by more students concerning this question com-bined with positive action by the Council in the form of cognition and responsibility for the problem is needed to change the trend of which the silverware incident in the dorm is a visible projection of the hidden part of the iceberg that lies beneath the placid surface. Gi

Campus freedom of the press —is it dead? Here is some evi-dence that says it is. Campus Illustrated's February issue re-ports that four students from the University of Texas's humor magazine, "Texas Ranger," were relieved of their duties after

someone turned a "Ranger" cartoon on its side and deci-phered the most vulgar word in the English language.

Admittedly the cartoon was indefensible. However, the edi-tors nonetheless, made an inter-esting accusation. Claiming that

Where is Responsibility? As the second semester begins the slate is clean, the present

a tabularasa. The past is forgotten and the future holds many possi-bilities. The bucket is dropped into the well of knowledge and all are invited to drink as much as they are able. Those who work the hardest, fathoming the depths, will receive the rewards, as judged by the well keeper.

The story is not this simple. A basic question arises. Did the f n t drink from the well and how much was digested? When

the semester is over, it is the person who has presented the right image, sold himself best to the judge who is awarded the spoils. The student is the salesman and public-relations man selling his product, often by any means possible; cheating, copying, talking, cramming, or plagiarizing. Most students are judged by their actual knowledge and worth. It is the few who are not who destroy the grade of the conscientious student.

Often the judge starts the semester with a view point so as not to be caught napping at the end. Sometimes the grade does not constitute the knowledge gained, but the past reputation of the student plus a high ability equals a high grade and a low ability equals a low grade.

This is only to say that judging of the attainment of know-ledge^ is difficult. The point is that often the question should be asked, "Why judge and what is being judged?" Is not part of education to encourage curiosity besides disciplining curiosity? The cart sometimes comes before the horse and supersedes the knowledge it represents. As a footnote many educators recognize that more knowledge occurs informally than formally, but grades do not judge this. —G W

(BENARES, INDIA) We are still here. A to-j tal eclipse and an extraordinary lineup of the! five planets Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and! Venus, with the earth, moon and sun, delighted! astronomers but confounded astrologers. SomeL people thought the earth would "flip," start World i War III, cause destructive tidal waves, etc. Half? a million Hindu pilgrims bathed in the chilly wa-|||p ters of the sacred River Ganges, many thousands / of Hindus flocked to Benares, high priests conduc-i ted yagnas (non-stop prayer sessions in New"; Delhi, Hope College students continued studying, j

(HONG KONG) The Chinese Reds are having a hard time finding enough fuel to keep industrial enterprises going, and to keep homes "warm." Also there is a shortage of tools used in agriculture developments (farms). Paper is scarce, and its shortage is reported to have resulted from a lack of wood, and too much wasted pro-paganda bulletins.

(HAVANA) Mr. F. Castro is quite upset because the U. S. has set up a policy of not purchasing Cuba's products. Other western hemisphere countries are also doing as the U. S. in order to dis-courage or oust Communist agression into the free West.

(WASHINGTON) The Population Bulletin said that 77 billion babies are estimated to have been born on earth during human history, assuming that man first appeared about 600,000 years ago. Robert C. Cook, editor of the Population Bulletin, said that if man has been around for a million years, about 96 billion would have been born, 32 billion of them prior to 6,000 B. C. They say it is very hard to get an accurate census of the U. S. today, much less that of a million years ago.

(SPACE) The Cape hopes to send a man up and around the earth. At least they are still trying.

(WEATHER) Spring is on its way. Just don't give up. Only 5 months to summer vacation. If you want - something to do you may ice skate, climb snow banks, go to the beach and climb ice-burgs, go tQ Florida, study, go to class. Winter certainly provides a variety of activities for students who are too busy with school work to enjoy the out-of-doors.

(NOTRE DAME,. SOUTH BEND, IND.) There will be a special spring Collegiate Jazz Festival April 6 and 7, 1962, for all interested college students. Outstanding prizes, including summer work at Stan Kenton clinics, with pay, will be given for the perforcance. In-terested students may contact the editor of this column.

(FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA) The temperature today: 80 degrees. The people at the Fort are looking forward to the usual student down-pour. The city of Fort L. has approved several ser-vice clubs to handle the program. There will be daily contests with prizes in aquatic skills, beauty contest (out of state), combo compe-tition, dance contests, fashion parades, "He-man" excellence awards, identification cooperation, mermaid awards, fishing contests, un-twist dances, water skills (not including drinking), and underwater activities. Reservations should be made early. Over 400 persons have already reserved rooms for the big convention.

faculty members had long hoped to squelch the "Ranger" because it had pictured Texas Universi-ty as it is and not as it should be, the editors said that the car-toon "was a perfect excuse for the faculty to do what they wanted to do for some time."

In December, Paul J. Hana-way, editor of Providence Col-lege's student newspaper, got the axe in a dispute over "cri-ticism." Hanaway had given prominent coverage to an un-successful Student Congress mo-tion to censure the Providence Dean of Discipline. When Hana-way refused to print a page one apology for printing the story, the faculty moderator asked for his resignation.

Despite these occurrences, col-lege editors feel there is a free press today with many campus newspapers enjoying a "hands off" policy from the adminis-tration. These same editors how-ever tend to gloss over some of the nuisances that qualify that freedom. For example: most editors have let themselves be cajoled into playing down sto-ries of scandals and burying paragraphs on fifth-page stories. Why? Because the scandalous, the dangerous can be embar-rassing to the University.

It is apparent that the most zealous college editor faces sub-tle pressures that tend to water down the crusading spirit. Many of these pressures come from the administration. Deans are concerned with public relations. They want more money from alumni. They want applications from the best students. A sui-cide or panty raid cannot be expected to please officials when it appears in print.

"The relationship between the senior board and the adminis-tration is the most important in any consideration of college press freedom," states Campus Illustraied. Thus the existence of the free press depends upon a responsible and practical ap-proach from both administrative censors and undergraduate edi-tors. In most liberal minded col-leges, this criterion is met, re-sulting in a useful and volatile press.

Whatever success the An-chor has enjoyed this past semester can be attributed to all those who devoted their time and talent to the paper. Special recognition goes to three main stays of the staff who are changing positions. After a year and a half as news editor, Kristin Blank is retiring to devote more of her talent in the writing end of production. Her successor is Paul Lucas, Anchor re-porter and feature writer for two years. Elmer Phail, busi-ness and advertising mana-ger, feels pressing responsi-bilities elsewhere. Bob Jaeh-nig, Friday morning proof editor has Friday morning classes, but will continue to write for the Anchor.

Hopeites Patterson and Jenner Return

Following Semester Study in Vienna Two Hope College students

are back on campus after spend-ing the fall semester in Vienna, Austria, studying under a pro-gram sponsored by the Institute of European Studies.

They are Pat Patterson, a sen-ior from Cleveland, Ohio, and Jack Jenner, a junior from Alta-mont, New York. Both students left with the Vienna Summer School group early last June and remained in Vienna for the fall semester.

This was the first time that

Hope students ever participated in the fall semester program. More than 140 students from 40 colleges and u n i v e r s i t i e s throughout the United States were represented at the Insti-tute.

Dr. Paul Fried, chairman of the Hope History Department and director of the Vienna Sum-mer School, also stayed in Vien-na to serve as an evaluator of the fall semester program. On assignment by Hope College, his purpose was to determine the

Opening lead: The Ave of diamonds. School isn't always first in the lives of students, nor in the

lives of faculty members. All need to do a certain amount of re-laxing, and one of the best places to relax—sometimes—is at the bridge table. However, in playing bridge with several of our stu-dents and in discussing bridge with a number of people, I have learned that many do not know some of the fundamental principles of the game. This column will try to help these people.

Today's hand was bid perfectly. North has too many values to bid either two spades or four spades (a bid of four spades over one spade is weaker than a bid of three spades: four spades means that the hand has good spades, good distribution, and not many points but game looks possible). South, being off three aces and having a sick diamond suit, should not even consider a slam. And what could East or West consider bidding?

The opening lead is the only lead that could possibly set the contract. South desperately tried to win the trick by playing the king, thinking it more likely that West would lead away from an ace than from a queen. East, however, played the ace, and South threw the nine, trying to fool the defense. East led the queen back; South played the jack, which with the previous play of the nine was an attempt to convince the defenders he had started with only two diamonds. West's play of the diamond three, however, was the deciding factor; West had successfully executed what is known in bridge as the high-low signal. This signal is only used in playing a hand that has a doubleton in it; by playing first the higher-valued card (in this case the five of diamonds) and then the lower-valued card (the three of diamonds), you let your partner know you are now void in that suit. And so Bast knew where the thirteenth diamond was; he led the diamond six. South sadly followed with the diamond two, and West trumped (ruffed) the trick with his spade deuce. East's trump ace then pro-vided the setting trick.

feasibility of future H o p e participation in the program.

By staying in Europe after the regular summer session both students were given the chance to live independently. Instead of associating within their own American group, they went out on their own to experience European life and culture. This was pointed out as one of the biggest advantages of studying under the fall program.

Following the conclusion of the summer session on August 18, both Jenner and Miss Patter-son had six weeks of free travel. Jenner went to Russia and Greece, and Miss Patterson to Scotland. On October 5 they re-ported to the Institute for the opening of the fall semester.

Their academic program con-sisted of courses in German, English, European History, Es-sentials of European Art, Art History, Europe and the Middle East, Age of Reformation and Physical Anthropology. Jenner took three courses taught in German at the University of Vienna as a part of the Institute program.

A highlight of the fall semes-ter was a 10-day ski trip at an Austrian mountain resort.

Both Jenner and Miss Patter-son returned by plane from Luxemburg on January 26. Dr. Fried left Vienna on December 15 and spent 40 days in the Near and Far East before re-

. turning to Holland.

New Booster Club

To Build Spirit Campus morale needs a boost,

and a group of Hope-ites is going to do something about it. —in the form of a Booster Club.

Cheerleaders originated the idea for a unified effort at building school spirit, and asked

. interested students to join. The turn-out to each of the first two meetings of the Booster Club was great enough to ensure its success and to warrant a con-stitution and the election of offi-cers. Serving as co-chairmen are Mary Finley and Pam Dyk-stra. r/

Cheering for basketball games is the major task of Booster Club members, and Hope-ites will see them spread through-out the bleachers at all future games. A pep rally was held the night before the first home bas-ketball game, and another is being planned for the near fu -ture. The first dance after a home basketball game was sponsored January 6 by the Booster Club. Another important project will involve getting buses to transport students to games.

Social Highlights Hello again,

A new semester is now underway so let's get on with newt concerning the past week and the near future.

SIGMA SIGMA:

The title of the Sorosis literary meeting last week was "Business, Bridges, and Birds." Discussion of sorority business was led by Ellen Frink, President. Next, Sara Van De Pool previewed what this year's brides will be wearing. Practicing the song was the last item on the agenda for the evening. Con-gratulations and best wishes are extended to Martha Proos and Jerry Tonell and to Barbara Ver Meer and Jim Shuck on their recent engagements.

CHI PHI SIGMA:

The Arcadian Fraternity held its annual winter formal Fri-day night, January 12, at the Cascade Country Club in Grand Rapids. Lance Evert and Glenn Ter Beek were co-chairmen of the event.

"Festival of the Gods" was used as the theme for the formal with decorations suggesting the ancient Greek period. Guests of honor were Mr. and Mrs. Roger Rietberg and Dr. and Mrs. William Vander Lugt.

After dinner entertainment was provided by vocalist Mike Schrier, "Three Men from Arcadia" (Ken Dulow, Jim Lucas, and Skip Watrous), humorist Dave Hollenbach, and pianist Brian Dykstra. Bruce Laverman served as master of ceremonies.

During intermission of the dancing, featuring the music of The Ambassadors," three couples were serenaded by the f ra-

ternity. They were Phyllis Yeager and Ted Hoekman, Joyce Dalebout and Karel Vander Lugt, Marilee Gordon and Milt Nieuwsma. The singing was directed by Jim Lucas.

Second semester officers were installed at last Friday night's meeting of the Arcadian fraternity. They are Carl Tidd, presi-dent; Bob Klebe, vice president; Brian Dykstra, recording sec-retary; Gary Morton, in ter-fraternity council representative; Marty Scholtens and Ruggles Church, Sergeants-at-arms. Out-going president Ben Vanden Bos gave a resume of the past se-mester and swore in the new officers. Carl Tidd then outlined §ome new plans for the fraternity in the succeeding months. Following the installation, a representative from each class was elected for Dutch Treat Week Bachelor Bank. Jim Lucas then led the group in their first rehearsal for the sing.

SIGMA IOTA BETA:

Tonight the members of the Sibylline sorority and their escorts will attend the annual winter formal entitled "Symphony In Silver" at the Spring Lake Country Club. Jean Louret is chairman of the function. On Monday of Dutch Treat Week the Sibs are hiring Chief Pizza Baker, Lorraine Defyter for their Pizza Break. By the way, the Sibs are now corresponding on sorority stationary.

OMICRON KAPPA EPSILON:

Last Friday evening the formal entitled "Athenian Festival" was held at the Pantlind Hotel in Grand Rapids. After a buffet dinner featuring roast of beef and roast turkey, the men pre-sented a program led by toastmaster-general, Tom Shade. Bruce Van Leuwen, fraternal president, gave a few words of wisdom which were followed by "The Wonderful World of Sam Welty." Fred Wezeman, Jerry Ver Meulen, Paul Welwood and Dick Witter vocalized followed by the fraternal song sung by all members. The guests were presented with marbel letter holders. Honored guests for the evening were Dr. and Mrs. Kenneth Weller, Mr. Anthony Kooiker and Miss Jantina Holleman. Gen eral chairman for the formal was Tom Torenga.

Delta Phi

With a theme of "Bon Voyage" Danny Claussen and Sylvia Fischer led the Delphis last Friday night on an hour-long trip to SSveden, Germany and Russia via their beautiful slides that they took last year. After the literary meeting, song-director Marcia Muyskens introduced t h e , song, "Redwing," to the sorority.

Tonight Dephis and their dates will dance to the music of Don Deal at their winter formal, "Sleighride," planned by co chairmen Judy Steegstra and Betsy Kruizenga.

New Hampshire College President Heads

Great Lakes College Association; Visits Hope Since January 1, the Great

Lakes College Association has been under the direction of Dr. Eldon L. Johnson, former presi-dent of the University of New Hampshire who headquarters at Detroit. The Association was chartered last year and present-ly includes the following schools: Albion, Antioch, Earlman, Hope, Kalamazoo, Kenyon, O b e r l i n , Wabash, and Wooster colleges, as well as DePauw, Denisen and Ohio Wesleyan Universities.

Dr. Johnson's abilities as a college administrator were dem-onstrated by his work in New Hampshire. Although he has been attacked by some political figures for firmly upholding the principles of academic freedom, he is widely respected by edu-cators in New Hampshire and throughout the East for his out-standing interest in the public schools of his state. His short tenure at the University of New

Hampshire p r o d u c e d that school's greatest period of phys-ical growth and scholastic pro-gress.

Under Dr. Johnson's direction, the Great Lakes College Asso-ciation should soon cease to be an experiment and grow in new directions of learning.

While Dr. Johnson's office was being made ready at Detroit's central airport, he visited all the Association the past few weeks. During his two day tenure on Hope's campus plans were dis-cussed for the use of teaching machines and the possibilities for having world renowned lec-turers come to the Association's campuses. These tentative pro-grams demonstrate the Associa-tion's purpose, of maintaining each school's individuality while acting as a group in fields where size and backing are necessary to acomphish educational goals.

Albion Students Vote For Social Tax by Dick Emmert

A college like a suitcase, an-exciting semester - break for Wheaton students and the prob-lems of a "striking b l o n d e coed" dominate the news from other campuses this week.

"Albion is a suitcase college because there are highlights in the social calendar, and that is all." This student's opinion, similar to 42 percent of the 170 s t u d e n t s interviewed, was the result of a recent college poll taken by the Albion Pleiad.

Many students felt that there were not enough places for the students to go for dates and a few felt "that to fill one's social life it is necessary at Albion to be a fraternity member." The students' apparent dissatisfac-tion with the college's "inade-quate" social life led the Stu-dent Council to hold an all-campus election concerning a social tax.

Student Council

Hears Plans

For Future Student Council held an ac-

tive meeting last Monday with the notification of plans for the future holding the forefront.

First of all, progress is being made for a bigger and better smoking room for students in the remodeling of the old Graves Library. There will be a better ventilating system, more adequate lighting and a good supply of ashtrays and vending machines will have cof-fee and candy.

There will be a special meet-ing for the council members by Dr. Weller. He will present part of a Hope report to the Ford Foundation. The purpose of the meeting is to give an idea of problems and planning in the next ten years.

Also, the Council, having been invited to send a delegation to the Great Lakes Regional United Nations Conference in May at S.M.U., will send Darrell Shre-gardus and Paul Ransford as delegates.

President Kansfield asked for volunteers to work on the elec-tion Committee which will re-view the Student Council elec-tion procedures and make rec-ommendations if necessary. Dave Hollenbach and Pete Dingeldey will work with Chairman Jan Riemersma on this.

Charles Beecher will be head-ing the procedures for getting the Juliana Room into condition for a better recreation room. This is due to the fact that there has been renewed Interest In the need of a recreation room.

Steve Havllcek, speaking for the Alpha Phi Omega fraternity presented to the council their plan for an Ugly Man Contest. Each fraternity is to elect one man to be artificially made up to be the most ugly man. Posters will bear his anonymous face and students will vote for the most ugly man by putting small change in jars designated for each man. The person having the most money at the end of the contest will win the prize.

This prize Is to be a small but coveted trophy for the winning fraternity. All the money col-lected will go to Prestatle Huis.

A motion was made for permis-sion after which it Is to go to the Student Life Committee for Its approval.

As a final notice, John Kelft suggested that the Council see what can be done toward hav-ing the dorm and fraternity driveways and parking lots plowed out. This will be per-sued.

President Lubbers Organizes Banquet With Alumni In West

ner in Los Angeles. Southern California was the destination of President and Mrs. Irwin J. Lubbers as they de-parted from Hope's campus in January during "the worst week of the whole winter," comment-ed President Lubbers. Their purpose in traveling to the West Coast was to meet with sixty-five Hope alumni interested in sponsoring a Hope College Din-

Practice Begins For

Ali-Collese Sing With the annual All-College

Sing less than a month away, sing directors and their respec-tive sororities and fraternities are spending much time and ef-fort in daily rehearsals and nightly worries.

A variety of songs will high-light this year's sing. The Arca-dians will sing "Hey Look Me Over;" Fraternal, "If I Had My Way;" Cosmopolitan, "No Man Is An Island;" Emersonian, " S h e n a n d o a h K n i c k e r b o c k e r , "When Johnny Comes Marching Home.'*' *

The sororities will present the following selections: S o r o s i s , "The Man I Love;" Sibylline, "Let There Be Music;" Dorian, "The Syncopated Clock;" Alpha Phi, "Rural Rhythm;" Delta Phi, "Red Wing."

The freshman women will sing "Oh, What A Beautiful Morning." The faculty will pro-vide entertainment during these final tense moments while the judges are deliberating.

A committee was setp up to direct the alumni project. Serv-ing as chairman is Reverend Le-Roy Nattress, a 1927 Hope gradu-ate and President of the South-ern California Chapter of the Alumni Association. Others on the committee are faculty mem-bers of U.C.L.A.: Dr. William E. Welmers, Professor of African Languages, and Dr. Lawrence Vredevoe, Professor of Educa-tion.

The site of the Hope College Alumni Dinner will be the Am-bassador Hotel in Los Angeles. The committee anticipates four hundred alumni will attend the event, scheduled for March 24.

President and Mrs. Lubbers remained about ten days to help organize the dinner, sponsored by the Friends of Hope College Movememenf under the auspices of the Alumni Association. They plan to fly back to Los Angeles for the dinner.

President Lubbers has noted that the dinner, if successful, will be repeated in other parts of the country.

Editor's note: Following: is a letter excerpt from Mr. David Wilkin, a 1961 Hope graduate now an "Assistant d'Anglais" in a large school in Dijon, France. His description and reaction concern a visit to Taize, France, and represent to the editors an "envoy" from Hope reacting in world issues: this one, the Christian ecumenical movement.

Taize itself originated since World War n with a group of young French ministers whose monastic Protestant community in Central France has produced noted works in church scholar-ship. Today it thrives as a less publicized^ but practical coun-terpart to New Delhi, a cardi-nal example of ecumenicity in practice.

The Impression "A medieval village stands on

the hill that dominates the countryside. An ancient stone chapel stands at the village heart . . . walk into the chapel, just to look. Fragrant incense fills the still air. From above, the flute of organ pipes breathes mystic music on icons and glowing candles. On the altar-table a golden crucifix shim-mers in the light of a trinity of holy tapers. There is . . . only candlelight. In a silent circle of brotherhood sit forty men robed in white. They stand as one while a lone voice chants and the others reply in simple harmony. Then, a silence . . . feel the intensity of their medi-tation; it weighs down your head too . . . wait for the brethren to go away. The unity of sound and sight and odor fills your soul, and recalls Bau-delaire's "correspondence."

"What is this monastic vil-lage? It is no candle hidden beneath a basket. To those who come, these forty young men explain their work . . . with unmistakable love, so quietly

that you cannot help but hear. They are missionaries, they say. Once Calvinists and Lutherans from many nations, they are now only Christians with a dream.

"Of what do they dream, these bachelor men of Taize? Of a unified universal church. The dream lives. The chapel and the services combine what is best in every Christian Church."

The Reaction What Mr. Wilkin found at

Taize he calls "a living faith, nourished by a something in which most of us no more than passively believe." Yet of the entire ecumenical world-wide movement, he observes:

"Ecumenical movements are

in progress within the Catholic and non-Catholic churches. At last the separated groups are being drawn together. Pride is the enemy to conquer, and sometimes we are even proud of our humility . . . unwilling to abandon our churches and our inherent division. It is hard for the Catholics to abandon the papal city and God's mother. It's true that it's a reconciliation forced by external circum-stances. But why is our under-standing of Christ so feeble that external circumstances force the unity of His church? Why do our love and humility have a limit?

"But God," he concludes, "we're only humans!"

Faculty Members Receive Summer Grants For Study Summer study grants totaling

$6,500 have been awarded to 11 members of the Hope College faculty it was announced today by Dr. William Vander Lugt, Dean of the College.

Recipient of the $1,000 Simon D. Den Uyl grant was Profes-sor Edward Wolters who will spend four weeks in Naples and Rome, Italy in the study of an-cient history, art and archaeolo-gy of that area.

The Den Uyl grant is present-ed annually by Dr. Simon D. Den Uyl, Chairman of the Board of the Bohn Aluminum Corpo-ration of Detroit.

Come On. Let's Twist Again

Tryouts To Be Held For Children's Show

Tryouts for the forthcoming Children's Theatre production of "Hans Brinker And The Silver Skates," will be held February 10 at 1:30 p.m. and February 12 at 3:00 p.m. in the Little Thea-tre. Scripts are now available in the Little Theatre office. A large cast is needed.

by Susan Spring The Anchor's poll of opinion

on the Twist began with the intention of gathering an unbi-ased report — equal pro's and cons — but was impossible! The masses have accepted the Twist. Those who rebelled against its vulgarity are quickly becoming twisted into a whole-(bodied?) hearted enjoyment of the dance.

Junior Bob Klebe has a wide-ly shared viewpoint "I enjoy doing the Twist, but somehow it looks rotten when you see other kids do it. Once you be-gin to join in, you forget about the bad connotations."

Karen Cushman, '64, was one of the first twisters on campus. "It's gotten so popular because

everybody can do it. It can be vulgar — but only if you make it that way. It's fun for enter-tainment to put different stepe and stunts with the basic mo-tion, like playing basketball or baseball."

Another s o p h o m o r e , Lois Huisjen, admits to being against it at first. "Now that I've been exposed to it more, I think it's fun . . . with the right action and attire."

Is there really something pro-testable about the Twist? "Like any other dance, the Twist can be perverted, but it doesn't have to be," replies freshman Dave Baas. "It re-establishes the Af-rican sense of movement that is dear to all our hearts."

• • .

What used to be Graves library is being renovated and converted into office and class room space. The remodeling should be finished by fall of '62.

Kurt Van Genderen, a junior, holds a rather negative opinion on the activity. "It's the kind of d a n c e that girls are dumb enough to fall for, and so boys stand back and watch. Some people say that it can be done nicely, but I don't think it was originated with that intention."

Senior Jim Mulder is also frank: "I's lewd, but isn't every-thing that's fun .

Julie Alexander, a twisting freshman, replied that she likes the twist a lot. "If a person has a bad back, he should avoid it, though."

S.E.A. Visits H.H.S. For February Meeting

The February meeting of SEA will be held February 15, at 7:00 p.m. and will consist of a guided tour through the new Holland High School.

The Holland High School has received national publicity be-cause of is uniqueness. Its program is designed with the individaul in mind and not the masses. A block system of teaching, which is relatively new, is being used in the new high school whose structure is unique in itself because it is actually two high schools in one.

Secretary Cornel of SEA said, "Those students who are inter-ested should find it worth their time to attend this tour because it affords an opportunity to see what the future needs for edu-cational facilities and processes." Since it is going to be a guided tour, some one will be with the group to answer questions.

Other grants were made to Dr. D. Ivan t)ykstra, John Van Iwaarden, A. James Prins, Hen-ry ten Hoor, Dr. A. Warren Williams, Dr. Philip Crook, James Loveless, Dr. Joan Muel-ler, David Powell and Frank Sherburne.

mmm .

Dr. Dykstra, chairman of the Philosophy department, will use his grant to prepare a television lecture series on "Oriental Phil-osophies'' to be aired on a Grand Rapids television station this fall. Mr. Van Iwaarden, who is instructor of mathema-tics, will work on his doctoral degree as will Mr. Prins and Mr. ten Hoor of the English depart-ment, Mr. Loveless, chairman of the art department, and Mr. Sherburne, instructor of mathe-matics.

»

Dr. * Crooke, associate profes-sor of biology, will study the means of preparing teaching aids in the fields of photogra-phy, plastic embedding of spe-cimens and preparation of mo-dels from casts.

Dr. Mueller, assistant profes-sor of English, David Powell and Dr. Williams of the history department will use their grants to prepare manuscripts for pub-lication.

Survey Finds African Students In U. S. A The African student in the

United States, in spite of eco-nomic and emotional problems, is happy with his American education. In a survey just com-pleted of more than 1,000 Afri-can students now in this coun-try, 79% reported they were "completely" or "mostly" satis-fied with their training. Only 4% registered dissatisfaction.

Another significant finding is that the majority of African students feel they do not get along w e l l with American Negroes. A l m o s t two-thirds (63%) indicated friction be-tween the two groups.

Other major results of the comprehensive survey are that 64% of the African students meet discrimination, their big-gest problem is lack of funds, their general academic perfor-mance is above average, and their image of America and Africa is influenced by their U. S. experience.

These are some of the high-lights of the 1IE( African Stu-dent Survey sponsored by the Institute of International Educa-tion with a $20,000 grant from the Johnson Foundation (Racine, Wise.) The research was car-ried out by the University of Michigan International Center.

In announcing the study's re-sults, HE President, Kenneth Holland, said: "The flood of Af-rican students into American classrooms made this survey a necessity. In order to meet suc-cessfully this demand for edu-cation, we must know exactly the problem of the African stu-dents here. Only then can we give the answers."

Last March, the University of Michigan Center sent question-aires to 1,533 African students on 366 Ainerican college and university campuses. Two-thirds of the students (1,010) filled out the form. Later the re-searchers held personal inter-views with 208 Africans at 43 institutions.

THE AFRICAN PROFILE

Statistically, the composite African student is a 26-year-old single male from either Nigeria or Kenya, studying social science at the sophomore level. He would like to earn his doctorate but expects, realistically, to re-turn home after receiving his master's degree.

Nearly half of the African students come from two coun-tries Nigeria (24%) and Ken-ya (24%). Three out of four were single and 88% were male. Although the largest number was at the advanced sophomore

level, 27% were freshmen and 22% were doing graduate work.

Over a third (35%) were studying social sciences, 16% were in the physical or natural sciences, and only 9% in engi-neering. Nearly half (47%) were in their first year here and only over a third (35%) expected to remain four years or longer.

Eight-hundred and one Afri-cans were enrolled in Northern institutions while 209 were stu-dying at colleges and universi-ties in the South. Despite the fact that almost half of them had arrived within the year, 19% of the African students had already changed schools. Of this group, one-third (32%) transferred because they had completed their course while 24% said their subject or field of study was not available.

PROBLEMS USTED

BY AFRICANS

The HE African study was designed to uncover the diffi-culties faced by African students in the United States. In general, the problems encountered by Africans were similar to those of all foreign students.

In the first few weeks, under-standing and using English was the number one problem listed by 21% of the Africans; ad-justing to American foods rank-ed second (19%); adapting to American life was third (17%); and discrimination was reported fourth (11%).

As they stayed longer, their problems changed; whereas only 4% had serious money troubles immediately, later 27% of the African students faced financial pressures. The difficulties with English, food and adjustment almost disappeared with time. Discrimination was still listed as a major problem by 12% of the Africans, making it the second-most difficult area as their stay increased. However once adjustment set in, the number of students with no real problems jumped from 4% to 17%.

AMERICAN NEGROES

DISAPPOINT AFRICANS

.The most startling result of the HE African survey was the evidence of % friction between many African students and American Negroes. Contrary to popular belief, these two groups do not make friends easily, leaving the average African with a sense of disappointment.

These feelings were also report-ed at Negro institutions where possible friendships for Africans would seem to be greater.

Twenty percent of the Afri-cans studying at schools in the South reported they had no American Negro friends. This is particularly significant since all but one of these schools were Negro institutions. In the North, 45% of the Africans said they had no Negro friends, but the survey data does not reveal the number of Negroes enrolled in these northern colleges and uni-versities.

Equally important are the reasons given by Africans for not making Negro friends. Of the 63% who indicated feelings . of friction between Africans and Negroes, 19% said that Ameri-can Negroes were unfriendly and 13% said Negroes felt su-perior to them. Almost one-quarter (23%) of the Africans felt they got along well with American Negroes while 8% re-ported too little contact to make a judgment.

In personal interviews, an African man at a m i d w e st school said, "Africans have been brought up in one culture, and American Negroes are victims of circumstances in another cul-ture and don't know where they belong."

AFRICANS MEET DISCRIMINATION

Though only 12% of the Afri-can students listed discrimina-tion as a major problem, 77% of the 1,010 polled reported in-cidents of discrimination. Twen-ty-two percent said they were discriminated against "many times" while 42% said they met discrimination "sometimes."

The HE survey revealed that African students met racial pre-judice in all sections of the United States but the rate of occurrence was higher in the South. Whereas 18% of the Af-ricans in northern schools said they experienced discrimination "many times," 38% of those in the South reported this degree of discrimination. In the North however, 43% said they met dis-crimination "sometimes" as con-trasted with 39%. in southern states.

The most frequent source of discrimination proved to be res-taurants, listed by 49%. Par-ticularly disturbing to many Africans was the attitude of Americans who discriminate against American Negroes but not against Africans. A student at a large Eastern university re-ported he was not served by a restaurant the day he wore an American suit but was served the next day when he wore his native costume.

Housing, with 32% reporting difficulties, was another trou-blesome discrimination area. The survey reveals that Americans who are otherwise friendly to Africans often decline to rent rooms to them. One African said, "They are more friendly when they know I am from Africa, but when you ask to rent a room, they refuse. Then I know they did not have any genuine friendship. , ,

More students in the North (23%) reported discrimination in housing than students in the South (10%) — largely due to the fact that more Africans in

Southern schools live in dormi-tories. However, white landlords are not responsible for all the doors which are closed to Afri-cans. One African in the South stated, "The college arranges for off-campus rooms in Negro areas. When we get there and the landlord realizes we are Africans, he usually won't rent the room to us."

Forty-four percent of the Af-ricans said they encountered discrimination in their social lives. A n o t b e r 16% reported having been d i s c r i m i n a t e d against in churches. One Afri-can student said that a white family in a northern church

moved away when he sat next to them. Later, on learning he was from Africa, this same fam-ily invited him to dinner. American student who takes any kind of work to stay in school, the African sometimes considers manual labor beneath his digni-ty. He wants a job in his field and often is disenchanted when no such white-collar work is available.

Eleven percent r e c e i v e d grants-in-aid, 7% got money from home or budgeted their funds more sharply, and 4% procured loans. A large segment (13%) were not able to solve their financial problems.

•••v:

r

Abla Antar, junior, and Dave Wyma, senior, discuss political problems with Congressional Representative Jerry Ford. Both students have returned to school after spending a semester at the American University in Washington.

However, a number of foreign student advisers and Africans themselves believe that what is often labelled discrimination is really personal preference in ac-tion. This was expressed by an African girl in a large Midwest-ern university: "I haven't run into and discrimination because I haven't gone out looking for it. Many Africans deliberately look for trouble, and fo course they find it."

BIGGEST PROBLEM IS

MONEY

Though the emotional turmoil of homesickness, adjustment and discrimination may have a more dramatic flavor, the biggest pro-blem of the. Africans was an economic one. More than a fourth (27%) listed finances as their most serious problem while two-thirds (62%) admitted hav-ing money difficulties at some time during their stay.

Part-time and summer jobs proved to be the way most Af-ricans (20%) managed to stay in the States. Obtaining a job, however, posed another problem for the African. Unlike the

The extent of financial diffi-culties, however, appeared to make no real difference in the students' grades or in their sat-isfaction with the education they received here.

IMAGE OF AMERICA

The image of America held by the African student is really the image of the individual American. Asked what they like best about Americans, 38%' of the Africans cited "friendli-

Overcome Many Problems For Education ance of foreigners (16%) as least-liked characteristics.

Regarding any change in their previous image of America, 29% of the students reported they found r a c i a l discrimination worse than they expected. A young man in an Eastern uni-versity said, "I have found that the USIA propaganda is not true, such as their description of how conditions in the South really are. , , Five percent re-ported, however, that discrimi-nation was not as bad as they expected.

Many of the Africans reported learning more about Africa in America than in their own countries. But the incidence of this change was greatly influ-enced by their country of origin. Whereas 50% of the students from Tanganyika, 40% from Uganda and 38% from Ethiopia reported a broadened African outlook, 100% from Guinea and 47% from Kenya indicated no change. (See yellow charts 60-63)

AFRICAN IS GOOD STUDENT

In the play of this particular hand the high-low signal was not as valuable as it often can be: East probably would have led the third diamond regardless of what West discarded (although he might well have led a club). Then too, in the play of this hand the high-low signal came on succeeding tricks, whereas often the play of the low card will occur several tricks after the play of the high card. The point here is to watch carefully your partner's dis-cards: if he plays the five of diamonds on trick one and then the three of diamonds on trick five, he is still giving you a high-low signal. And if you are the declarer of a contract, also watch for a high-low signal by your opponents. This may help you in playing the hand, that is, knowing that there is a rough impending if a certain opponent gets the lead.

ATHLETE'S n n cJTiJi FEAT

by Bob Kreunen

While Hope was beating Adrian, Olivet was pulling one of the biggest upsets of the cage season by clipping front-running Kalamazoo 60-57. Kazoo's loss to a team that is virtually out of the race itself opens up a multitude of possibilities in the race for the MIAA conference cage crown, one possibility being that Hope or Albion or Calvin could win the title outright. Kalamazoo, currently in first place with only one loss, while Hope, Albion, and Calvin are tied for second with two losses apiece, still remains the team to beat. The stage is set for tomorrow night's Dutchmen-Hornet battle here in Holland. Al-though Hope, Albion and Calvin all have another chance to bump Kazoo the Dutch probably have a better chance than either the Britons or Knights because Hope will have the home court advantage against Kazoo while Calvin and Albion must both play their return matches at Kalamazoo.

This is easily the biggest week of the season for Hope as they face the three toughest teams in the league in the short span of eight days. (Kalamazoo here tomorrow, Calvin here next Wednesday, and Albion at Albion next Saturday.) Three victo-ries will mean no worse than a tie for the league championship and three defeats will make Hope just another "also-ran" in the MIAA, but any way you look at it this is the week of decision for the Dutch.

When Jim Vanderhill tallied only nine points in Hope's 75-49 victory over Adrian it was the first time since he was a freshman that he failed to hit double figures. It is no secret that Jim's point production has fallen off of late and in an effort to get "Spider" back in the 20-point bracket Coach De Vette kept Jim from practicing on Monday and Tuesday of this week. Although this appears to be a somewhat backward ma-neuver on the surface it is true that athletes, and especially basketball players, can become stale, because of the length of the season. If this is the case a short lay-off can do a great deal more good than harm.

Coach De Vette is strained in huddle against Olivet

Hope Outmans Adrian Buys Leading Scorer

Bolstered by the return of co-captain Bob Reid, who was in-eligible for first semester play, and Gary Nederveld, who missed key games during the first half of the season with a thigh in-jury, Hope outmanned Adrian College Saturday night 75-49. Hope is now 5-2 in the MIAA while Adrian is 1-6.

For the fourth consecutive game co-captain Ekdal Buys led the Dutch with 18 points while MIAA scoring leader Jim Van-derhill was held to only nine. Nederveld and Glenn V a n Wieren led Hope in rebounding with 16 and 10 respectively as Hope out-rebounded the Bull-dogs 52-48. Nederveld also con-tributed'lS points to the Dutch-men cause.

Hope led 41-25 at the end oif the first half and shortly after intermission lengthened its lead so that Coach Russ De Vette substituted freely in the latter stages of the ball game and all of Hope's thirteen man squad saw action. Curt Haaksma, a transfer from Grand Rapids Junior College who was also

ineligible for the first semester, scored five points in his brief appearance and will be counted on to add reserve strength in future games. Haakema is a 6' 5" junior.

Dutch Down Lake Forest In Kon-Conference Game

The Hope College Flying Dutchmen downed the L a k e Forest Foresters 80-74 in a non-league basketball tilt in the Civic Center Saturday night be-fore 1,300 fans for their sixth victory in 14 starts this season.

After building up a 20 point lead midway though the second half, the Dutch found themselves .fighting for a win as the Fores-ters narrowed the gap to a mere two points, 76-74, with approxi-mately a minute to go in the game.

Bob Reid scored Hope's last basket in the last minute. Ek Buys then fouled with one sec-ond remaining. Buy's two chari-ty shots gave Hope the first 6-

point edge. The Dutch led at halftime, 34-

31, as Buys hit on two turn-about jumpshots in the final 40 sec-onds.

Hope opened the second half with a fine display of power as Buys hit his third jump shot in a row followed with goals by Vander Hill, Van Wieren, and Reid. Vander Hill's free throw gave Hope their biggest lead of 20 points, 65-45, with 9:25 left to play.

High point man for the Dutch was senior Ek Buys with 21. He was followed by Vander Hill who scored 19. High scorer for Lake Forest was Jerry Ziegler with 23.

J. V.'s Break Even In First Semester Hope's junior varsity now

stands with a 5-5 won-lost re-cord. However, as with the var-sity, the won-lost column doesn't tell the whole story. Our J.V.'s suffered some close calls as wit-nissed in the Calvin and Adrian games. The score of the Adrian game was 65-63 in favor of Adrian, and in the Calvin game the J.V.'s closed a large gap to lose only by two points.

Wheaton Avenges

Earlier Loss to Dutch A full-court press employed

by the Weaton College's basket-ball team gave Hope College dif-ficulty and the Crusaders scored an 89-14 victory between semes-ters before 1,000 fans in Centen-nial Gym.

The victory avenged Wheaton's earlier 79-63 loss to Hope this season in Holland.

Wheaton grabbed a quiet 10-6 lead and never again trailed. Hope managed to break the press briefly in the second half and with 10:21 left in the game the Flying Dutchmen had narrowed the score to their points, 52-49 on Bob Reid's fast break basket.

Fouls hurt the Dutchmen in the remaining minutes of the game as Jim Vanderhill depart-ed with 3:40 left and Reid foul-ed out with 2:01 remaining.

Wheaton freshman, J o h n Pfund, was the leading scorer in the game with 23 points. Bill Lindberg, Wheaton captain, was

BEAT KAZOO outstanding on the boards and picked off 17 rebounds.

Hope's rebounding was evenly distributed among its starters. Ekdal Buys led Hope with 16 while Jim Vanderhill had 14 and Nedeveld added 12.

In an interview with the J.V. coach, Mr. Daryl Siedentop, the main problem of the J.V.'s this season was pin-pointed as inconsistency. Said Coach Sie-dentop, "When we're good we're really good, but when we're bad we're really bad."

The players on the J.V. squad are: Cal Poppink, Bill Hill, Duane "Fuzz" Triemstra, Bruce Neckers, Church Veurink, Dean Overman, A1 Smith, John Blom, and Vern Sterk.

The J.V.'s lost their top scorer, Tom Cousineau, through ineligi-bility this semester but hopes are that the rest of the team will be able to take up the slack.

Only four games remain for the J.V.'s, two of them with ri-vals Kalamazoo this Saturday and Calvin on February 14. Af-ter such a close call at Calvin, Coach Siedentop has expressed the high hopes of the team to avenge themselves.
