Hope College Anchor LXI — 9 Official Publication of the Students of Hope College at Holland, Michigan Accomplished Poet-Lecturer Will Appear Here In March Edward Davison, Dean of the College, Professor and Chair- man of the Department of English at Washington and Jef- ferson College, will visit our campus on March 3 and 4 to lecture upon poetry, which he believes is not something re- mote from the everyday experience of ordinary people. This skilled lecturer and talented poet will express his idea that "The college student, whatever his main interest may be or however removed it may appear to be from the world of poets, is defeating a main purpose of his education if he cannot move in that world with freedom and spontaneous delight." Born in Scotland, Edward Davi- son grew up on the English North Sea coast and at the age of sixteen enlisted in the famous Royal Naval Division. Three years later he was commissioned Sub-Lieutenant R. N. V. R. In 1919 he entered St. John's College, Cambridge, where he took his B.A. and M.A. degrees. As an undergraduate he edited and re- viewed The Cambridge Review, be- came one of the leading debaters of the Cambridge Union Society, and was author of a first book of poems. In London, after gradua- tion, he edited The Challenge and later was appointed general man- ager of The Guardian. Marriage to an American girl brought him to New York in 1925. His first Amer- ican publication Harvest of Youth (Harpers) went into four editions. During the next fifteen years he lectured professionally throughout the country. His annual tours took him to the major centers of thirty- five states as well as to Canada and Bermuda. For some years he edited the Wit's Weekly page in Edward Davison February 10, 1949 Studdiford, Sluy+er Edit Anchor Issues Walter Studdiford and Dona ...

The practice of allowing the associate editors to edit issues has two purposes. One purpose is to give the editors experience at the work and the other purpose is to furnish the Publications committee with a basis of judgment in the selection of next year's editor-in- chief. Ground Breaking Set for Feb. 14 Ground breaking ceremonies for the new girls' dormitory will be held on February 14. Dr. Irwin J. Lubbers recently made a trip to New York to make arrangements for details of the proposed build- ing. Upon his return to Michigan, the President stopped at Detroit to meet with Henry Steffens and offi- cials from construction companies; at the office of the architect con- tracts for the construction were drawn up and signed. The dormitory building, accord- ing to the provisions of the con- tract, is to be completed by Feb- ruary 1 of 1950. Contracts are awarded in three phases of speci- fications: (1) the general contract, (2) the contract for heating, ven- tilation, and plumbing, (3) the electrical contract. The first two contracts have been awarded, re- spectively, to a local firm named Elzinga and Volkers and to Hol- werda and Huizinga of Grand Rap- ids. Bids for the electrical contract will be opened on February 10 a t the regular meeting of the Execu- tive Committee of the Board of Trustees. Alpha Chi to Hear Vriesland Minister Rev. John Pott, pastor of the Reformed Church at Vriesland, Michigan, will address the mem- bers of Alpha Chi on February 21 at 7:30 p.m. in the Chapel base- ment. His address will concern that famous Christian, William Mc- Cheyne. Rev. Pott has done much research on this subject. New House Rug Was Goal Of First Frater Frolics th< i ca He Nine years ago, in the spring of 1940, the four fraternities on Hope's campus had their own houses. College enrollment was around the five hundred mark, and fraternities counted memberships of thirty or forty. The members of the Fraternal society at that time were just like the members of any fraternity to- day. They were always short of funds, they liked to have a good time, they were proud of their so- ciety. The history of Fraternal goes back to 1834, making it older than the college of which it is a part. Fraternal was and is the sixth oldest Greek letter fraternity in the country. But that didn't get the boys any more money. And money they needed, for the house was in dire need of a new rug. Football games in the living room hadn't prolonged the life of the present one. It was during that spring that the Frater Frolics was born. It me into existence as a means of aking money to purchase a new carpet, and has been a part of the Hope scene since, except for the war years. The 1949 version of the Frolics will be given April 14, 15, and 16, in the Women's Literary Club. It will be the fifth annual presentation by members of the society. Anyone who has ever seen a Frolics will agree on one point. The members aren't too bashful about making fools of themselves. Laughs are a commodity, fun is the key- note, musical brilliance is lacking, but gameness isn't. The entire fra- ternity takes part, a few as prop men, but the majority on stage in some attire unbefiting a college man. Silk stockings and make-up, frilly blouses and short skirts are the style, as well as old-fashioned get-ups of bonnets and shawls. An orchestra provides musical enter- tainment, while vocal and instru- mental solos, duets, and trios are occasionally thrown in. One act is a Minstrel show, complete with in- terlocutor, black-faces, authenic costumes, tambourines, and typical minstrel show jokes. Southern roasted "corn" is the keynote of this particular performance. The old stand-by — the chorus line — is another feature of the Frolics. Variations of this routine are given from year to year, the 1948 version tripping out in foot- ball pads, silk stockings, flowered bonnets, and plucked eyebrows. The stage is especially reinforced for the performance of these 200-pound beauties. Plans have been made for the 1949 production of the Frater Frol- ics, with Bill Hinga as Chairman. The advertising campaign, which is usually a preview of things to come, will probably get under way in March. All profits from the Frolics will be used to purchase a new trophy case for the proposed gymnasium. Dr. Will Orr to Address Alcor Members Today Alcor will serve coffee this after- noon at an informal meeting of its members from 3:00 to 5:00 in Voorhees Hall. Dr. Orr, Prayer Week speaker, will be guest. Marie Buttlar has charge of program ar- rangements. Friday, February 11, Alcor mem- bers and sponsors. Miss Boyd and Miss Reeverts, plan to attend a performance of "Ethan Frome" at Kalamazoo. The play will be given by the Kalamazoo Civic Players in the Kalamazoo Civic Audi- torium. Gil Dodds Tops List Of Guest Speakers Herman Krm%enga Club To Show Film 'Colonel Charbert' On Thursday, February 17, the French Club will show a film en- titled "Colonel Charbert," based upon the book by the same name written by Balzac. It is to be a French film with English titles. In order to accommodate all students there will be two showings, one at 2:30, the other at 7:15. The run- ning time of the film is one hour and a half. The plot centers around a soldier who, finding himself buried alive, digs himself to safety with a piece of bone. He travels about for some time and then returns to his home city. However, everyone believes him to be dead and he has diffi- culty convincing people of his true identity. It should prove to be an inter- esting film and all students are cordially invited. Gadget To Time Chapel Speakers Chapel-goers who have any par- ticular dislike for lengthy, over- time speakers may now dismiss all such thoughts from mind. A time- piece warns a speaker when his allotted time is up, has recently been installed in the College Chapel. This neat compact instrument is placed right up on the pulpit, a chapel exercise or speech can be set as desired. A small green light tells the speaker that he is still within his time. Two minutes be- fore the time is out, a yellow light flashes on, suggesting that the con- clusion be begun. Then at the end of the allotted time, a small red light meaning "stop!" flashes on. This device should prove espe- cially beneficial to guest speakers and chapel leaders who have for- gotten their watches. Any overtime speaking is generally very uninten- tional. Anyone with experience will tell you that when behind the pulpit, one becomes quite obvious of time. Now should you discover a chapel speaker still going beyond his time limit, you might deduce that he is color blind. Gil Dodds Series Emphasizes Numerous Avenues Of Christian Service The Hope College YMCA has planned a series of weekly meetings to emphasize that there are many vocational avenues of Christian service. The series will include the famed "flying parson," Gil Dodds, and the noted German scholar, Dr. Otto Piper. Other prominent in- dividuals to take part in this seven-week program beginning on February 15 are Dr. Vergeer, Head of the Department of Biology; Herman Kruizenga, Muskegon Heights high school teacher; Ekdal Buys, Grand Rapids investment banker; Dr. W. Wells Thoms, med- ical missionary to Arabia now on furlough; and Dr. Matthew Peelon, Kalamazoo surgeon. Gil Dodds will visit the Hope WAL Plans Masquerade As February Activity Calling all girls to the WAL all- girl masquerade and slumber party on February 25! Dorm girls, get your town pals invited for this exciting evening. Prizes, refresh- ments, and . . . watch next Anchor for more details. All-College Sing Festival Will Take Place March 11 Keen competition will again pre- vail March 11 at Hope College Chapel at 7:30 when the sororities and fraternities from the campus will strive to win the All-College Sing. As in previous years, each of the various groups will sing one selection of its choice and its so- ciety song. Judging will be con- cerned with tone, interpretation, technique, selection, direction, and general effect. Each of these items will have a numerical value desig- nating its importance in the entire contest. Committees have been chosen as follows: Evie Van Dam and Russ Norden as Co-chairmen; Professor Robert Cavanaugh as Faculty Ad- visor; Ed Kerle, Programs; Norma Hungerink and Bob Westerhoff; Chapel Accommodations and Deco- rations; and Bud Ver Hulst, Usher. As yet, the names of the judges have not been released. The Hope- ives are to present selections also, but they will not officially compete in the contest. Rules for the All-College Sing are: 1 — The Complete Active member- ship of each society is required to take part. The director shall be an active member of the society. 2 — Each group will sing the so- ciety song and another selec- tion of its own choice. 3 — Judging will be almost entirely on the performance itself. Dress and other special fea- tures will be given little con- sideration. 4 — Musical selections with solo parts will not be accepted. 5 — Songs which college organiza- tions have in their repertoire will not be accepted. 6 — Names of the selections chosen by each society must be given by Evie Van Dam and Russ Norden by February 18. 7 — A prize will be awarded to the best performing men's and women's groups. It has further been released that the winning fraternity may enter the Inter-State Fraternity Contest. A record will be submitted with other frats from the entire state for the contest. As an added feature this year the three best pep songs submitted to the School Song Contest will be introduced for the first time. They will then be printed for use at all following games. appear in the Chicago Tribune on Sunday, February 13, in the Youth on Campus section. The Grand Rapids Herald will feature on the same day, a section on Hope's Dutch Treat Week, which will start on the following day. Mary Skagg, who together with Andrew Pavlin, composed the ar- ticle for the Chicago Tribune, stated that she was very pleased with the cooperation of Hope stu- dents and favorably impressed by Hope's campus. The work of Ann Wolters was the basis of the story that will ap- pear in the Grand Rapids Herald. IRC Group Will Send Delegation The International Relations Club of our college has been ex- tended an invitation to send dele- gates to the third Annual Confer- ence on Public Affairs. This con- ference is to be held at Ohio State University on March 3, 4, and 5. The theme up for discussion is "Major problems of United States foreign policy in 1949." The club hopes to send at least two repre- sentatives; only forty colleges and universities in the country have been extended similar invitations. On March 10 and 11, the mid- west International Relations Club Conference will be held at Ball State Teachers' College in Muncie, Indiana. They hope to discuss the areas of tension in the world, main- ly, Central Europe, the Middle East and Asia. The IRC plans to participate in a conference to be held at Hills- dale College on April 29 and 30. From this conference they hope to organize a tri-state group to form a United Nations Assembly model with each school representing a different nation. A group of students has been meeting weekly to prepare for these various conferences. On Feb- ruary 16 the next meeting of the IRC will be held, and everyone who has an interest in world af- fairs is invited to attend these meetings. Tribune Will Feature Hope Campus Scenes Hope college campus scenes will cam P us on March 1 to speak of Christianity and athletics. While working his way through college and divinity school, Gil Dodds won national championships in his hobby, track. By 1947, after a two- year absence from competition, he dominated the amateur indoor mile picture. A minister in the Breth- ren Church, Dodds has said that he runs "to testify . . . that the Christian way of life pays off." In Falls City, Nebraska, where he attended high school, Gil had to practice track by himself, earn money for his own athletic equip- ment, and hitch-hike to track meets. But since his childhood Gil Dodds had wanted to be a track champion. By the end of his high school days he had entered and had set five meet records. Enrolled in 1937 at Ashland College, Dodds majored in history, supported him- self by part-time employment, and was active in extracurricular ac- tivities, including dramatics, \ MCA, and track. Graduated from Ashland in June, 1941, he trans- ferred to the Godod School of The- ology and Missions in Boston. In 1942 the divinity student up- set the "unbeatable" Leslie Mac- Mitchell with a record 4:08.7 clock- ing. Outstanding in the 1943 sea- son, Dodds was overwhelmingly voted the highest award in Ameri- can Amateur Athletics, the Sulli- van Memorial Trophy. In 1944 he stood alone, leaving his rivals far behind in all his races. The "Fly- ing parson" was the N. Y. track writers' unanimous choice for their "Man of the Year" title. Then, in January of 1945, the champion gave up track competition to go into full-time gospel work with the Youth for Christ organization. After receiving the B.D. degree in 1945, he entered Wheaton (Illi- nois) College for his Master's de- gree. In 1947 Dodds competed on the track and immediately re- sumed his domination of the milers. Dodds' amazing endurance has brought him nearer and nearer the four-minute mile. But he gives all the credit for his victories to the Lord, saying humbly, "I trust in Him to get me by." Dr. Otto A. Piper, who will Continued on Page 3. Religious Emphasis Week Speaker Has Rich History Dr. Will W. Orr, guest speaker for the annual Religious Emphasis Week now in progress, has enjoyed many rich and interesting experi- ences since his graduation from Erskine College, Due West, S. C., in 1926. Dr. Orr is a native of Charlotte, N. C. After his graduation. Dr. Orr accepted the position of principal of Sardis-Carmel High School in Charlotte. He then attended Pitts- burgh-Xenia Seminary before be- coming the Pastor of the First United Presbyterian Church of Beaver Falls, Pa., in 1931. He served this pastorate for eight years. Dr. Orr is well known for his work among young people, and has conducted Religious Emphasis pro- grams in several other colleges. He and his wife annually conduct a youth camp in Iowa. He is also a popular commencement speaker. He is now pastor of the West- minster United Presbyterian Church of Des Moines, Iowa. In addition to his many duties at Westminister Church, he served as Chaplain for the Iowa State Guard during the war. This evening Dr. Orr will lead a discussion meeting in the Chapel. Tomorrow morning he wUk deliver the week's last address.^This aft- ernoon a t 5^ o'clock, th^iinal Pray- er Meeting will be held in the Chapel basement.

New House Rug Was Goal Of First Frater Frolics

th<

i ca He W£

Nine years ago, in the sp r ing of 1940, the f o u r f r a t e r n i t i e s on Hope's campus had thei r own h o u s e s . College enrol lment w a s a round the five hundred mark , and f r a t e r n i t i e s counted memberships of t h i r t y or fo r ty .

The members of the F r a t e r n a l society a t t h a t time were j u s t like the members of any f r a t e r n i t y to-day . They were a lways sho r t of f unds , they liked to have a good time, they were proud of the i r so-ciety. The his tory of F r a t e r n a l goes back to 1834, mak ing it older t h a n the college of which it is a p a r t . F r a t e r n a l was and is the s ixth oldest Greek le t ter f r a t e r n i t y in the count ry . Bu t t h a t d idn ' t get the boys any more money. And money they needed, fo r the house w a s in d i re need of a new rug . Footbal l games in the l iving room hadn ' t prolonged the l ife of the p resen t one.

It was during that spring that the Frater Frolics was born. It

me into existence as a means of aking money to purchase a new

carpet, and has been a part of the Hope scene since, except for the war years. The 1949 version of the Frolics will be given April 14, 15, and 16, in the Women's Literary Club. It will be the fifth annual presentation by members of the society.

Anyone who has ever seen a Frolics will agree on one point. The members aren't too bashful about making fools of themselves. Laughs

are a commodity, f u n is the key-

note, musical brilliance is lacking,

but gameness isn't. The ent i re f r a -

tern i ty takes par t , a few as prop

men, but the ma jo r i t y on s tage in some a t t i r e unbefit ing a college man. Silk stockings and make-up, fr i l ly blouses and shor t sk i r t s a r e the style, as well as old-fashioned get-ups of bonnets and shawls . An orches t ra provides musical enter-ta inment , while vocal and ins t ru-mental solos, duets, and t r ios a re occasionally thrown in. One act is a Minstrel show, complete wi th in-ter locutor , black-faces, authenic costumes, tambourines , and typical minstrel show jokes. Southern roasted "co rn" is the keynote of this pa r t i cu l a r per formance .

The old s tand-by — the chorus line — is another f e a t u r e of the Frolics. Var ia t ions of th i s rout ine are given f r o m year to year , the 1948 version t r ipp ing out in foot-ball pads, silk stockings, flowered bonnets, and plucked eyebrows. The s tage is especially re inforced f o r the pe r fo rmance of these 200-pound beauties.

Plans have been made for the 1949 production of the Frater Frol-ics, with Bill Hinga as Chairman. The advertising campaign, which is usually a preview of things to come, will probably get under way in March. All profits from the Frolics will be used to purchase a new trophy case for the proposed gymnasium.

Club To Show Film 'Colonel Charbert '

On Thur sday , F e b r u a r y 17, the French Club will show a film en-titled "Colonel C h a r b e r t , " based upon the book by the same name wr i t ten by Balzac. It is to be a French film with English ti t les. In order to accommodate all s tuden t s there will be two showings, one at 2:30, the o ther at 7:15. The run-ning t ime of the film is one hour and a ha l f .

The plot centers a round a soldier who, finding himself buried alive, digs himself to sa fe ty with a piece of bone. He t rave ls about fo r some time and then r e tu rns to his home city. However, everyone believes him to be dead and he has diffi-cul ty convincing people of his t r u e identi ty.

I t should prove to be an inter-es t ing film and all s tuden t s a re cordially invited.

Gadget To Time Chapel Speakers

Chapel-goers who have any par-t icu lar dislike fo r lengthy, over-time speakers may now dismiss all such thoughts f r o m mind. A time-piece w a r n s a speaker when his al lot ted t ime is up, has recently been i n s t a l l e d in the College Chapel.

IRC Group Will Send Delegation

The In terna t ional R e l a t i o n s Club of our college has been ex-tended an invitation to send dele-ga tes to the third Annual Confer -ence on Public Affa i rs . This con-ference is to be held a t Ohio S t a t e Univers i ty on March 3, 4, and 5. The theme up f o r discussion is " M a j o r problems of United S ta t e s foreign policy in 1949." The club hopes to send at least two repre-senta t ives ; only f o r t y colleges and universi t ies in the country have been extended s imi lar invitat ions.

On March 10 and 11, the mid-west In ternat ional Relations Club Conference will be held a t Ball S ta te Teachers ' College in Muncie, Indiana. They hope to discuss the a reas of tension in the world, main-ly, Cent ra l Europe, the Middle Eas t and Asia.

The IRC plans to par t ic ipa te in a conference to be held a t Hills-dale College on April 29 and 30. From this conference they hope to organize a t r i - s t a te group to fo rm a United Nat ions Assembly model with each school represent ing a different nation.

A g roup of s tudents has been meet ing weekly to prepare f o r these var ious conferences. On Feb-r u a r y 16 the nex t meet ing of the IRC will be held, and everyone who has an in teres t in world a f -f a i r s is invited to a t tend these meet ings .

Tribune Will Feature Hope Campus Scenes

Hope college campus scenes will c a m P u s o n March 1 to speak of Chr is t iani ty and athlet ics . While work ing his way th rough college and divinity school, Gil Dodds won nat ional championships in his hobby, t rack. By 1947, a f t e r a two-year absence f r o m competi t ion, he dominated the a m a t e u r indoor mile p ic ture . A minis ter in the Bre th-

ren Church, Dodds has said t h a t he r u n s " to t e s t i fy . . . t h a t the Chr is t ian way of l i fe pays off ."

In Fal ls City, Nebraska , where he at tended high school, Gil had to pract ice t r ack by himself , earn money fo r his own athlet ic equip-ment , and hitch-hike to t r ack meets. But since his childhood Gil Dodds had wanted to be a t rack champion. By the end of his high school days he had entered and had set five meet records. Enrol led in 1937 a t Ashland College, Dodds ma jo red in history, suppor ted him-self by par t - t ime employment , and was active in e x t r a c u r r i c u l a r ac-t i v i t i e s , including dramat ics , \ MCA, and t rack . Gradua ted f rom Ashland in June , 1941, he t r ans -f e r r ed to the Godod School of The-ology and Missions in Boston.

In 1942 the divinity s tuden t up-set the "unbea tab le" Leslie Mac-Mitchell with a record 4:08.7 clock-ing. Outs tand ing in the 1943 sea-son, Dodds was overwhelmingly voted the highest award in Ameri-can Amateu r Athletics, the Sulli-van Memorial Trophy. In 1944 he stood alone, leaving his r ivals f a r behind in all his races. The "F ly -ing pa r son" was the N. Y. t r ack wr i t e r s ' unanimous choice f o r thei r "Man of the Y e a r " title. Then, in J a n u a r y of 1945, the champion gave up t rack competition to go into ful l - t ime gospel work with the Youth f o r Chr is t organiza t ion . A f t e r receiving the B.D. degree in 1945, he entered Wheaton (Illi-nois) College f o r his Mas te r ' s de-gree . In 1947 Dodds competed on the t rack and immediately re-sumed his domination of the milers. Dodds' amaz ing endurance has brought him nea re r and neare r the four-minute mile. But he gives all the credit f o r his victories to the Lord, s ay ing humbly, " I t r u s t in Him to get me by."

A Recommendation In this issue of the Anchor is a short art i

cle concerning a report prepared for the Stu

dent Council by the choir-chairmen of the

Homecoming Committee. We feel that a re

port such as this will be extremely valuable

to coming committees. This report migh

well be the beginning of a complete file, kep by the Student Council, containing reports on each major event on the campus. The experiences, bencficial and otherwise, coulc then be passed on to those who come a f te r us

Such a file is now being kept by at leas one sorority on campus in hope of lightening the work of committees next year. Some of us have to learn by our own experiences, but a better way is to learn from the experiences of others. A system such as this would help to pass on such experiences.

Christian Vocation Man must earn his bread by the sweat

of his brow, all men must work, and each man must have his occupation, for this is the way the world is made. The selection of an occupation is a threshold that each indi-vidual must cross, and the significant choice of an occupation is a decision which many a college student must make.

The YMCA has recently instituted a series designed to show tha t the applications and occupational phases of Christianity are un-limited. The theme of these seven consecu-itve weekly meetings is an important one. The ethical implications of Christianity should be the leavening force in the whole lump of human relationships. A totally Christian life may be lived by a doctor, a lawyer, a housewife, a nurse, a butcher, a farmer, or a maid. Christianity is applicable to all these occupations and many more.

Both the selection of an occupation and the activity that the occupation calls for have something in common to a Christian, for he is seeking to do God's will. Our Prot-estant tradition asserts that the chief end of man is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever. This according to Calvin is the "universal rule" by which a Christian must regulate his conduct. "The great point," he says, "is that we who are consecrated and dedicated to God should not henceforth think or speak, design or act without a view to His glory." Not that such perfection is ever attained, but this should be the goal. Every act and thought of a Christian should have as its motive the promotion of the glory of God.

It is evident that to glorify God we must seek to do our best. Each of us has certain

talents that are ours to use, and it is our responsibility to use them to the best ad-vantage. The diversity of our talents will cause each of us to live a unique life. In making a vocational choice we must take into account our talents and our interests psychologists tell us that the two usually coincide), we should seek to evaluate the needs of the world in which we live, and we should prayerfully search out God's will for us. For only in this way may we fulfill our potentialities. Each of us will have an occu-)ation, each of us has a life to live. Let s ive it with purpose and to the glory of God!

Millions O f B.A. 'S A dark economic figure awaits you as one

of the two and one half million students now attending American colleges if the pro-gram recommended by the President s Com-mission on Higher Education becomes law. At least, that ' s the opinion of Seymour E. Harris, Harvard's Economic professor, in an article for the New York Times Magazine,

January 2. In "Millions of B.A.'s, But No Jobs," Pro-

fessor Harris states tha t the proposed edu-cational program would yield more than ten million college graduates by 1960. There were four million in 1940. Harris insists that our economy cannot adequately absorb the

difference. Not letting this absorption rest without

fact, Professor Harris cites some disturbing figures. If college graduates enter profes-sions in the same ratio they did in 1940, there would be three times as many poten-tial teachers in 1960 as there were eight years ago. Despite the educational needs of a larger population, less than half of these teachers would be able to find work in theii field. In the other professions, conditions would be even more difficult — doctors, law-yers and engineers ten years from now would have difficulty in finding work.

There is already an overflow in some pro-fessions. In some cases, skilled craftsmen are receiving higher wages than educated clerical workers and teachers. \\ ith the in-creased pressure upon the jobs available to college graduates, standards are raised so that only the moF.t potential applicants are

accepted. Thus a large number of students who had

spent long years in professional and man agerial training would have to turn to the general labor force, which employed only five per cent of their number in 1940. Over a period of time, a reservoir of intellectuals frustrated in their life's work would be buil up. Such discontented groups, Harris says have given a strong impetus to fascist revo-lutions in European countries.

As a solution to this problem. Harris sug gests that a board of inquiry be set up to determine the relation between our educa tion needs and our economy. \\ hat is more important, he stresses the need for a revi sion in the fundamental atti tude of Ameri cans toward education. We have tended to view education as the safest road towarc economic security. In this way, by excessive specialization, we have tended to reduce it to the level of a trade, and neglected the cultural aspect with its emphasis upon the development of the individual.

And to all of this, the liberal a r t s college can say, "I told you so." Even in our special-ized world, these words have meaning.

Home Economics The Hope College catalog includes courses

from aeronautics through speech. Between

these two extremes are a variety of subjects

in a variety of fields. But there is one im-portant department which is non-existent at Hope College. This is the department of Home Economics or Domestic Science. Courses in this field should be a necessary part of a liberal education such as our college is striving to give its students.

College girls on the whole receive very little practice or instruction in the field of home-making. The majority of them live in the dorm all year, eating what is put be-fore them, sending clothes out to be cleaned or mended. During summer vacations the the majority of them have jobs which give them little time for experience at home. But consider what most of these girls will be doing four or five years after graduation. Teaching? Secretary? Business? No, the majority will be housewives and mothers.

Perhaps there are those who feel that col-lege is not the place for girls who are inter-ested mainly in a future career of home-making. This attitude is most certainly an

The next f e w yea r s will see an increased demand f o r college g rad-ua tes in the fields of medicine, psychology, k inderga r t en and ele-men ta ry school teaching and cer-

ta in phases of electricity. A t the same t ime, competi t ion

will g row keener f o r posit ions in the fields of engineer ing, chemis-t ry , pharmacy , law and personnel

relat ions. These conclusions were contained

in a s tudy prepared fo r the Vet-erans* Adminis t ra t ion by the Oc-cupational Outlook Service, Bureau

of Labor Sta t i s t ics , U. S. Depar t -

ment of Labor . The s tudy is being used by VA

advisement and guidance officers a s an aid in counseling disabled veterans p lanning to t ake educa-tional and t ra in ing courses.

The na t ion ' s demand fo r heal th service is ou t s t r ipp ing the supply of newly g radua ted doctors and

dent is ts , the repor t said. I t esti-mated t h a t "about two- th i rds of this year ' s 5,543 medical g radu-a tes ( f r o m schools accredited by the American Medical Association) and all of the 1,515 dental g radu-a tes will be needed to replace the physicians and dent i s t s lost to the field annual ly because of death or

r e t i r ement . " As a resul t , only a small expan-

sion of the country ' s medical staff will be possible.

Although a record number of bachelor 's degrees were awarded in psychology dur ing the pas t aca-demic year , there still is a need for well- trained persons in this field, the s tudy disclosed. However, the shor t age of t r a in ing faci l i t ies will prevent many of those with bachelor 's degrees f r o m enter ing g radua te school.

"Over the next 10 years nearly 1,000,000 teachers must be t ra ined if the educational goals recom-mended by leaders in the profes-sion a re to be me t , " the report said. Greates t needs will be for k indergar ten and e l e m e n t a r y teachers.

The report predicted a "mod-

era te increase" in employment in the electric utili ty indust ry over

the next decade. The increase will be reflected in openings fo r over 1,000 electrical engineers to help plan, install and opera te new fa-cilities.

Death Notices Application for benefits resul t ing

f rom the death of an eligible war veteran should be filed by his de-pendents within a yea r a f t e r his death in order to take full advan-tage of the law per ta in ing to death benefits. Ve te rans Adminis t ra t ion officials advised today.

Al though application fo r death compensat ion or pension may be filed any t ime a f t e r a ve te ran ' s death, benefits a re re t roact ive to the da te following the da te of death only if the claim is filed within one year f rom tha t date .

VA claims officials point out that if a claim f o r death compensation is filed a f t e r the expirat ion of the one-year period, benefits a re pay-able f r o m the da te t h e claim is received in a VA office, providing sufficient suppor t ing evidence is submit ted within a yea r a f t e r the claim is made.

Expira t ion Warn ing Vete rans Adminis t ra t ion now is

sending prior notices to ve te rans whose Nat ional Sen-ice Life Insur-ance te rm policies a re about to expire.

Such notices will be sent two months before the expirat ion da te of the original policies. This will give the ve te rans t ime to convert their t e rm insurance to a perma-nent NSLI plan or renew the i r t e rm insurance fo r an addit ional five-year period. Renewals may be made without a physical examina-tion, bu t a t a h igher premium ra t e based on the ve te rans ' a t ta ined age at the t ime of renewal .

Additional Dependents S tudent ve te rans acquir ing de-

pendents a f t e r enroll ing in schools or colleges under the G.I. Bill a s single persons should no t i fy VA immediately so t h a t an a d j u s t m e n t may be made in the i r subsistence allowances. S tudent ve te rans with one dependent also should repor t immediately any addit ional depend-ents they acquire.

Dear Mr. E d i t o r : Would you be so kind as to con-

sider a question t h a t has perplexed me f o r some t ime now? The ques-tion in my mind, and also unmis-takably in the minds of a few hundred o ther th ink ing individuals in th i s inst i tut ion of h igher learn-ing, has to do wi th some of the most outmoded and uneconomical pract ices t h a t we have ever beheld, and these in a college t h a t is t ry-ing only too despera te ly to cut

down on expenses. You see, Mr. Ed i to r , I had a

cont rac t f o r the en t i re school yeai to serve a s a subs t i tu te wai ter at the Temple Dining Ha l l ; bu t now I only ea t there . T h a t f a c t is ol little consequence. W h a t does mat-ter to you and to our good f r iends , however, is the reason why I am

longer a wa i t e r there . I t is no through no f a u l t of my own, and probably not largely the f a u l t ol any other one individual , bu t ra th-er the resul t of o ldfashioned prac-tices, whose motives perplex me great ly . Why am I no longer a

wai ter t he r e? Simply because An-nie, Ed, George, and scores ol o thers don' t ea t a t Temple Dining Hall any more. This f a c t leads us to question why these good people don't ea t there any longer, and again to seek the why f o r tha t why; and it is th i s basic cause with which we a re so vitally con-

cerned. Now let me tell you why ovei

ninety people have le f t this one dining hall at the t u r n of the se-mester in favor of the town res t a u r a n t s or the i r own home cook-ing. There a re th ree pr ime rea-sons, Mr . Edi tor , which I shall list for you: (1) There is too much wai t ing involved f o r meals, which a re supposedly served a t specific t imes in the day but which may be late, though d a r e we be la te! (2) We all pay f o r too many meals

tha t we never ea t . (3) The speci-fied menu issued is o f ten contrary' to the tas tes of the individual. These three f ac t s could be enlarged upon at g rea t length, but our ex-perience is such t h a t t ha t will be

unnecessary. Since I believe in a lways sug-

gest ing a solution fo r the wrongs about which I gr ipe, I would here, too, mention the cure f o r th is prob-lem. This solution is in common use in schools across the length and breadth of our country . It is the school sponsored cafe ter ia , which serves each meal over a pe-riod of approximate ly two hours to satisfied s tuden t s who may choose thei r own meal, eat at thei r leisure, and go again having re-ceived what they paid for .

Is it economy t h a t this college is looking fo r? Is it cul ture t ha t th is college wishes to propogate?

Where, then, is a high class dining

hall? The present misdirected at-t empts towards theae ends great ly perplex me. For in place of t h r i f t a t Temple Dining Hall there is waste and mismanagement ; in place of cul-ture there is a noisy bedlam.

And now we a r e told t h a t Hope college is to cons t ruc t a new dorm including the same kind of old-fashioned d in ing hall . There our adminis t ra t ion will begin the same practices all over a g a i n ; hi r ing too many people fo r too lit t le work ( tha t , a necessity in a dining hall such as th is will b e ) ; se t t ing an efficiency exper t (whose superflu-ous presence makes her a financial paras i te more than any th ing else) over the worke r s ; and insisting tha t we who ea t there , again s tand in line and aga in pay fo r meals t ha t we shall never ea t . The ad-minis t ra t ion will aga in end by break ing con t rac t s and discharging a l ready poorly paid and thus dis-satisfied wa i t e r s and dishwashers , because s tudents will continue to t i re of meet ing the appointed meal t ime and then wa i t ing f o r the same old soup o r hash.

I have eaten at Michigan State , Wheaton, and Muskingum and have seen be t t e r ea t ing systems than the one in opera t ion here. Tell me, Mr. Edi tor , do these i r ra t ional methods, persis ted in my Hop's adminis t ra t ion , make sense to you? Must f u t u r e Hopeites pu t up wi th the perpe tua t ion of these out-moded methods?

Most sincerely, Calvin S w a r t

Alumni Pieters, Zwemer Are New Book Authors

Two alumni of the class of 1887, Dr. Alber tus P ie te rs and Dr. Sam-uel Zwemer, have recently pub-lished books.

Dr. P ie t e r s ' is ent i t led "Divine Lord and Saviour ," and Dr. Zwem-er ' s book bears the t i t le , " H o w Rich the Harves t . "

Not only did the two a u t h o r s g radua te w i t h one of Hope 's mos t i l lustrious classes, b u t also they were both pioneer missionaries. Dr. P ie ters served in J a p a n and Dr. Zwemer in Arab ia .

Another similarity in the lives of these two great men is the fact that both returned from the mis-sion field to serve on the faculties of seminaries. Dr. Zwemer was formerly Professor of the History of Religion and Christian Missons at Princeton and Dr. Pieters is emeritus professor of English, Bible and Missions at Western Theological Seminary.

out-dated one in our world today when women are expected to be intelligent as well as efficient. A woman who has received a dual education in liberal arts and practical home economics will make a doubly efficient wife and mother of the next generation.

Such educations can be received at many

colleges in the country. If we wish to at-tract the girls from our church who demand such courses we should act now to supply their rightful needs. We would at the same time be serving the future homes and churches of America.

Dr. Piper was, born in central Germany in 1891, and served in the German army during the first World War. He took an active part in the German Church conflict when the Nazis came to power in 1933, and, as a result of a course of lectures on Church and State in which he boldly affirmed the rights of the Church, he was deprived of his chair in the University of Muen-ster-in-Westphalia and had to leave Germany.

Hope's Student Council recently announced that this year the annual celebration of Dutch Treat Week will be during the period of February 14 through February 20.

Walt Bi>erman and Connie Hinga are acting as chairmen to supi'rvise the special activities during the seven-day period. They say that compleie plans have not yet been formulated, but state that there mill l>e a student recital, a basketball game, a drawing for faculty dates, and a feature film to offer entertainment for Dutch Treat Week daters.

and what the Nether lands , wi th the cooperation of the United Nations, was p lann ing to do in es tabl i sh ing a Free Uni ted S ta t e s of Indonesia.

Rev. Sil levis-Smitt is well versed on the subject , having spent six-teen y e a r s in the Islands. In 1926, he was appointed minis ter of the church in Semarang , J a v a . With his leadership the church pros-pered and increased. In 1941, the membership of the church had in-creased five-fold and i n c l u d e d many nat ive Javanese besides the Dutch congrega t ion .

In J u n e of 1941, Rev. Smitt placed himself a t the sen-ice of the Dutch Naval Author i t i es in England. He w a s placed on active duty wi th the Ne the r l ands Navy as a chapla in ; and, a f t e r t h e war, was appointed Chaplain-in-Chief of the en t i re Nether lands Navy . The Rev.

Ex-President Wichers Dr. Wichers was born in Zee-

land, Michigan, on F e b r u a r y 15, 1886, t h e son of Will iam and Wil-helmina Wichers . His f a t h e r w a s a native of Apeldoom, the Ne th -er lands, and his mo the r was born in Michigan f r o m Dutch stock.

In 1909 he was g radua t ed f r o m Hope College and carr ied on his s tudies a t t h e Univers i ty of Chi-cago d u r i n g the s u m m e r t e r m s of 1910 and 1911. He also a t tended the Univers i ty of Wisconsin in 1915 and in 1918 was awarded t h e A.M. degree f r o m t h e Univers i ty of Michigan. He has received the honorary degrees of L.L.D f r o m

Hope, L.H.D. f r o m Centra l Col-lege, Pella, Iowa, and Lit t . D. f r o m Rutge r s Univers i ty .

Hope College p repa ra to ry school was the s t a r t i n g place of his ca-reer as an education. He t a u g h t a t the p r ep school f r o m 1909 to 1913 and then went to the college to become a p rofessor of his tory. He held th is position until 1925 with the exception of one year in which he was his tory ins t ructor a t the Univers i ty of Michigan.

From 1925 to 1931 he was Cash-ier, Executive and Vice-President of the f o r m e r F i r s t S ta t e Bank.

Dr. Wichers became pres ident in 1931 and held th i s position un-til June 30, 1945.

In an ar t icle wr i t t en when Dr. Wichers announced his res ignat ion we read, " D r . Wichers has been connected with the college fo r 30 years , 16 years on the facul ty and 14 years as president . During his adminis t ra t ion , the college has seen an increase in endowment funds , a new science building has been constructed and put in opera-tion and the college has been placed on the accredited list of the Association of Amer ican Universi-t ies."

He was named president of the

Dr. Wynand Wichers

Michigan College Association in 1944-1945 and also served as pres-ident of Church Related colleges in 1945.

The Ne the r l ands government ap-pointed Dr. Wichers Knight of the Order of Orange-Nassau and he was host to Pr incess Ju l i ana and her consort . Prince Bernard , when the f o r m e r received a degree f rom Hope College in June , 1940.

Dr. Wichers was very active in the civic l i fe of Holland dur ing his years here. He was a member of the Zoning Commit tee and also was a member of the l ibrary board and served two t e rms on the Hol-land board of education. For two te rms he was president of the Hol-land Chamber of Commerce.

"No t his in teres t in th ings but his in teres t in people and his re-gard fo r the image of God in the human soul will s t amp him as one of the t ru ly g r e a t personali t ies tha t have served Hope College. All who associated with him knew tha t the roots of his life were bedded deep in the soil of Chris t ian t r u th . " (Church Herald, October 26, 1945.)

So much fo r the old news, now for a word or two fo r th is semes-

S tuden t s (us-ing the term loosely) in Mr. Van-der Ploeg's classes will notice t ha t he devotes a lot of a t ten t ion to what is known as a "pol iceman" (a rubber-t ipped g lass rod used to scrape precipi ta tes f r o m glass-ware ) . I t ' s our opinion tha t the reason fo r th is special a t tent ion might be profess ional courtesy. You see, Mr. Vander Ploeg spends his summers as a p lan t policeman in a Grand Rapids f ac to ry .

The Gay Philosopher

Relaxing f r o m the s t r enuous days of examinat ion week, the g a y phi losopher found his favor i t e sea t in t h e Koffee Kletz, and proceeded t o read the morn ing paper over his usual cup of coffee. An i tem in t h e paper s t a t i n g tha t Fe r r i s Ins t i tu t e was being offered to the S ta t e of Michigan interested him and he t hough t wha t a noble ge s tu r e on t h e p a r t of t h e school if the F e r r i s coffee which is used in t ry ing to m a k e coffee in t h e Kletz would be offered a s an addit ional g i f t . He t r i ed to read f u r t h e r but he could not concent ra te because of the din and discordant noise of the s tudents . I t seemed as if everyone was in a s t a t e of indignat ion over the evaluat ion t h a t they had received f r o m t h e var ious teachers . No one seemed to care whe the r they had ac-

tua l ly learned something; the only m a t t e r s of concern were the l i t t le m a r k s which educators have set up to separa te , supposedly, the br igh t f r o m the dull. But wha t can one expect when t h e s tuden t is no t en-couraged to th ink fo r himself about impor t an t ma t t e r s , bu t is meas-

ured instead by the number of f ac t s t h a t can be re ta ined in t h e course of e ighteen weeks. The s tudent has in real i ty become a s ta t i s t ica l gu inea pig. Recall ing some of the exams t h a t he took, the g a y philoso-phe r could still see the underhanded cheat ing t h a t went on because the average s tudent does not have the abil i ty to r emember " t o n s " of f ac t s . I t seems a pity t h a t in a college such as th is t h a t anyone would spend hours concocting clever ways to pass the examinat ion . Maybe a

course in Applied Chris t ian Ethics should be ins t i tu ted as a required course.

Unable to s tand much longer the conversat ion which had degener-a ted to f r a t e r n i t y and sorori ty pa r t i e s and the popular i ty of a s tuden t a s measured by the amount of social func t ions a t tended, the gent lemen sough t an escape mechanism in the fo rm of a c igare t te . However he w a s dut i fu l ly informed by those in au thor i ty t h a t smoking was pro-hibited in any pa r t of Van Raal te Haft . Can you imagine his chagr in when a f ew moments la ter members of the business office were seen smoking in a room with flooring of combustible ma te r i a l ! While wai t -ing fo r the next period to commence the gay philosopher watched the s t r eam of s tudents leaving the Blue Key Store laden with new text -books and noticed the anxious and worr ied look on the faces of many non-ve terans and young coeds, ponder ing how they might explain to

f a t h e r the high cost of new textbooks. He wondered if the members of this f r a t e r n i t y could be more phi lanthropic and provide these books to the s tudents at cost plus a nominal charge f o r handl ing expenses.

The bell, s ignall ing the end of a period, aroused t h e gay philosopher f rom his thoughts , and he proceeded to his class. Before doing so, he placed his coat on the clothes hook provided by the college in the luxurious and beaut i fu l cloak room. Wending his way up the s ta i r s , en te r ing his class room, the gen t leman proceeded to open his notebook in ant icipat ion for the notes t ha t he would have to take. He asked the s tudent s i t t ing neares t the door to t u r n on the l ights bu t was in-fo rmed tha t they were a l ready on. When his eyes became accustomed to the semi-darkness , he thought how a lit t le b r igh t paint and some new light fixtures would do much to save the power of vision f o r many s tudents .

As a pa r t i ng thought the gay philosopher recalls th is s t a t e m e n t by a g rea t theologian: " W e have done the th ings t h a t we ought not to have done, and have not done the th ings t h a t ought to have been done."

Dutch End Home Schedule Against Adrian and Albion

Local basketball fans will get their last look at the Hope College team this Saturday and next Saturday when they play games against Adrian and Albion. Hope has dropped games to both of these schools earlier in the season. How-ever the games were close and on the opponents' floor. Both of these games are vital to Hope's hopes for a higher berth in the MIAA standings. Hope still

has three more games on the road

of which only one is in the con-

ference. This Saturday night will find

Adrian in the local Armory. Adrian

will be greatly handicapped by the

loss of their great center, Bennett,

who is ineligible for second semes-

ter play. Bennett is currently the

leading MIAA scorer with 104

points, 18 of which came in his

last encounter with Hope. Adrian

has two experienced guards in Fox

and Arbaugh. Fox is playing his

fifth year in the conference. Ar-

baugh scored 10 points against

Hope in the last game.

Adrian's present MIAA record

is similar to Hope's, 2-4. They have played very inconsistent ball. They opened the season with 87-50 trouncing at the hands of Albion. They dropped another one to Hillsdale before returning home to defeat Hope and Alma in the same week. The Hope score was 53-49. Adrian has not won a road game since the war. In their last two games they have lost close decisions to Albion and Kalamazoo.

The Albion game next Saturday promises to be a good one to wind up the home schedule. At Albion several weeks ago Hope was de-feated G2-60 in a game which changed hands continuously and was well played by both teams. Albion is in second place in the MIAA boasting a 4-2 record. One of their defeats came on Alma's narrow floor. The other came at home at the hands of a surprising Hillsdale team. Albion holds two wins over Adrian, one at Kalama-zoo, and one over Hope.

Lou Black was the big gun in the first Hope-Albion game. Play-ing forward this year, he racked up 24 points. He is the third high-est scorer in the conference. Allen at forward and Berry have been scoring consistently all year.

Hope, by virtue of their recent wins at home, have shown them-selves to be as good as any in the conference. They were the first to defeat Hillsdale. Their unusual height gives them ball control which causes all opponents trou-ble. These facts will probably make Hope slight favorites going into these games.

Dutch Show Power In 65-43 Calvin Win

Piling up a tremendous 40 points in the second half, the Hope College basketball team broke up a rough t ight ball game and walloped the Calvin Knights 65-43 Thursday night in the local Armory. A packed house saw Nick Yonker keep the locals in the game by racking up 6 field goals in the first half, and Harold Buter spark the second half splurge with 8 field goals.

The first half was eight minutes old, and the scoreboard read Hope 3, Calvin 3, when Yonker found the nets with considerable consis-tency to more than match the Knights ' scoring efforts. When the teams returned to the floor for the second half, the score stood 25-18, Hope.

However at the start of the sec-ond half Holwerda took command of the defensive board, and Hope had her fas t break in action and proceeded to overpower their Grand Rapids rivals. Buter dropped in 16 points to lead the attack as Hope built up a 44-28 lead before Coach De Vette started to substi-tute.

"B" Team Wins Two O f First Five Tilts

After five games, Hope's frosh

squad is on the short end of a 3-2

split. With only one practice ses-

sion a week the frosh have turned

out a much better than expected

team.

The first game was a fas t and

rough game against Kalamazoo

College B team. The Kazoo squad,

which practices five times a week,

had a hard time pushing past the

Frosh. The last four-minute rally

of the Kalamazoo team brought

them a seemingly one-sided victory

of 56 to 42.

The next three challengers were

teams from the Holland City

League. In the first game the Frosh, showing fancy ball han-dling, topped the Fox Jewelers to the tune of 69 to 48. The next week Pete's Bar B Q team was the victim of the Hopites. Ron Bos, paving the way with 22 points, helped defeat Pete's by a score of .')(> to 30. The last of the City League teams to play the frosh were the flashy Nash Motors, the current leaders in the league. Sink-ing buckets from all over the court, Nash romped over the freshman squad 55 to 31.

Last week T h u r s d a y night Hope's "B" team played hosts to the Calvin College J . V.'s. In rough and tumble game, the J. V.'s took an early 10 to 2 margin Hope's Frosh then came back with three quick counters to make the score 10 to 8. The game continued with Calvin keeping a two to four-point margin all the way.

A final spurt by Calvin in the last minutes of the game gave them a 39 to 29 victory.

Below are the total points for the Hope Frosh for the first four

The Hope College cage team has overcome its nemisis of bad luck which plagued its MIAA play early in the 1948-49 season. They copped their last two conference contests by decisive margins.

Firs t , however, the Dutch had to travel to Adrian where the Bull-dogs won their first basketball game from Hope College since the s tar t of competition between the two schools. The final score read 53-49. Bennett, the Adrian center and leading scorer in the MIAA, took top scoring honors with 18. Bud Vande Wege, who is runner-up to Bennett, was second with 16.

The black cat followed Coach Russ De Vette and his team over to Albion a few nights later where Hope lost a 62-60 heartbreaker. Forward Lou Black dumped in the winning bucket on a "sleeper" to ;limax a gala night for himself. His 24 points was high for the ?ame, and Vande Wege again fol-lowed with 16. As evidence of the caliber of play, the lead changed hands eleven times during the game and the largest lead was held by Hope, 7 points.

Playing in the Armory the fol-lowing Tuesday the Dutch prompt-ly pushed bad luck and the whole Alma team all over the floor with a decisive 74-65 win. Control of the backboards paid off as Buter, Vande Wege, and Muyskens led Hope with 20, 16, and 16 respec-tively. Center Lee Boucher was high for the contest, scoring 21.

The winning spirit continued as the Dutch drubbed previously un-beaten Hillsdale the following Sat-urday. The first half was a t ight game but Buter led a spurt early in the second half and Hope was never headed from then on. Four of the s tar t ing lineup divided scor-ing honors with Nick Yonker lead-ing the parade with 16, Vande Wege with 15, and Muyskens and Buter with 12 each. Paul Muyskens did an outstanding job holding the Dales high scoring center, Plodzin-ski, to 5 points.

The Knicks came up with the upset of the year by edging the Fra ters 26-24 in the first game of the second round. This put the Fraters in a first-place tie with the Independents. In the final games of the first round the Frat-ers beat the Cosmos 41-22 and downed the Independents 24-22. This game was decided in a dou-ble overtime where the final over-time was "sudden death."

The Independents kept their rab-bit's foot in action as they de-feated the Arcadians 34-28. After trailing by three points at the three-quarters mark they came up with 14 points in the final period. In a previous game the Indies took the Knicks 31-23 as DeGroot put in 15 for the winners.

The Emmies gave fair warning that they would be the team to watch in the second round as they opened with a 57-18 trouncing of the Cosmos. Ken Decker poured in 28 points to set an individual high for this season. In other games the Emmies beat the Arcadians 44-27 and the Knicks 28-23. These wins established them firmly in second place.

In the only other game played, the Arcadians topped the Cosmos 27-26 in overtime. The Cosmos led throughout most of the contest.
