Societies Practice Feverishly Bachelor's Bank Starts Dutch Treat Week

The All College Sing, an an-nual program which is under the combined efforts of the fra-ternities and sororities on the Hope campus, will be held on Saturday, March 4th at 8:00 p.m. at the Holland Civic Center.

Each society performs a num-ber which is to be judged, plus it's own fraternity or sorority song or hymn. Each song is judged on the basis of technique, which includes breathing, bal-ance, and attack; interpretation, of which tempo, expression and diction are a part, tone direction, selection, and general effect. Of the qualities listed above, tech-nique, interpretation and tone are the most important.

There will be three judges, all of whom are from surround-ing areas: Mr. John L. Wheeler, who is organist and choir mas-ter for the First Congregational Church in Muskegon, Mich., Mrs. Trina Hann, director of vocal music at Christian High School in Grand Rapids, and Mr. Sey-mour Swetts, who is the Chapel choir director for Calvin Col-lege in Grand Rapids.

During the intermission, there will be entertainment furnished by a group of "Slater waiters" and also by a singing group composed of freshmen girls.

The numbers selected by the various fraternities and sorori-ties and their conductors are as f o l l o w s : Cosmopolitan, Ron Beyer, "Give Me Your Tired, your Poor"; Delphi, Marilu

Announcing All-College Assembly

Mr. Rolf Italiaander, visiting Professor of Af-rican History and Civili-zation, will be formally introduced to the college community at 4:45 p.m. Wednesday in the Chapel at which time he will deliver a major lecture entitled "The Youth in Africa Today."

In this All-College As-sembly, Mr. Italiaander will provide a compre-hensive survey of the po-sition and problems of today's African youth. It was this subject which Mr. Italiaander discussed at the International Ori-entalist Congress held in the summer of 1960 in Moscow.

The introduction and program is being jointly sponsored by the History Department and the In-ternational R e l a t i o n s Club.

Walters, "Robert E. Lee"; Sybil-line, Adina Yonan, "Clair De Lune"; Arcadian, Dean Neder-velt, "Deep Purple"; Alpha Phi, Pris Wubble, "I Heard A Forest Praying,"; D o r i a n , Marilyn Vanderwilt, "Holiday Polka"; Fraternal, Dan Ritsema, "Ten-derly"; Knickerbocker, Stan Voogd,-"With A Little Bit of Luck"; Sorosis, Merry DeWaard, "I Got Plenty of Nutt in '" ; and Emmersonian, S t e v e Midder-nacht, "Men of Harlec."

Co-chairmen for the All Col-lege Sing are Bobbie Russell and Dave Bonnette. Faculty ad-visor is Mr. Roger Rietberg.

The winning fraternity and sorority each receive a cup, which, if won three years in succession, is permanently re-tained by that particular society.

A Student Speaks I hate Hope College. I'm sick of rules, orders, and dictates

from the higher ups. I think I'll give "them" something to think

about and tell them just exactly why I'm so sick of this place.

I'll begin with the classes. Dull lectures on dull subjects given

by dull professors. . . . But then there's Dr. 's class, and

Miss 's class and their classes are really exciting and stimu-

lating! I can't begin there.

. . . I could begin with the rules at Hope—especially for the

girls! They are positively ridiculous and very petty . . . but still, I

guess some rules are necessary—I'm sure I'll have to live by

some rules when I leave Hope.

I could begin with the food—boy is it terrible! and those lines!

I'm very sick of standing in line for 45 minutes per meal. Gee, I

can't do that—cause last night's supper was really good; and

besides all this week I've been able to get in on time.

Chapel! . . . t h a t ' s it! But what have I to complain about! If

I don't want to go I don't have to (I'm on my honor.) and besides—

before I ever came to Hope I knew that they had daily chapel

services.

The Library! . . .wel l , all the space shortage will be helped

when the new library opens next year.

The social life! . . . Sure it needs improving, but it's been better

than in previous years.

The athletic teams . . . I'm sure they do their best—and anyway,

I'm probably not their best supporter.

I wonder what's wrong with me.

We've Got Some Letters!!

A Step Toward Excellence With the increasing number attending college, a degree is

taking on the value of a social status. Hope College—far from Ivy —is swelling with the college 'panic' but not because Hope is a prestige school of academic distinction as one of the top three small colleges in Michigan as the Chicago Tribune again recently claimed. This recognition finds us shining our lapels in a snobish pride as if Hope is a prestige school.

However, there has been a stiffening of the academic standard as shown by a long needed crack-down on grades this past semes-ter. This new stringency, besides weeding out the poor students and maintaining Hope's reputation with the graduate schools, is good because of the induced competition—a way of achieving excellence.

This competitive fight for survival at Hope—50% drop out of students in all colleges—might break the provincial 'guardal'— that glass shield that protects us from decay or progress. Compe-tition should challenge the indolence of Hope's students who shrink from intellectual elasticity and of Hope's administration which minimizes Christian leadership under a course called chapel.

Through acedemic competition, the thought might be refound that college is a testing ground for new ideas, an atmosphere for the excitment of knowledge, and a place of acquiring habits of thought, of ways to solve problems, and of fixing beliefs in per-spective.

Let us hope that the tougher grade standard and more rigid entrance requirements produce a reaction of the provincial status quo to a realization of the Chicago Tribune's claims of excellence.

Until We Meet Again At a recent Student Council

meeting a report was read from the Honor Code Committee. This report told of the history of the honor code, when it started at Hope College, and how much progress had been made in the past year in es-tablishing a norm for personal integrity.

Although it was felt that some success had been met with, it is the general feeling that most of the students are dis-interested at the present time. Since interest and an almost 100% favorable attitude are necessary to initiate an honor code of any form, the council decide to dismiss the committee.

In thinking through the rea-sons the disinterest is prevailing I come to these conclusions. 1. There are many new students who were not approached prop-arly. 2. Those of us who were responsible did not time correct-ly the initiation of the code. And 3. It is my opinion that it is unfortunate and unfair for the students of Hope that some have chosen this as a topic with which to bring pointless articles to the pages of our school paper.

While rational discussion is always welcome, the irration-ality of some is appauling. The calibre of students we have at this school need not take a back seat to any and I am sure that soon we shall again begin a rational discussion.

Student Council Pres.

CAL BRUINS

Why No Honor System . . .The whole tone of his essay (Mr. Faulkner's essay "Why the Honor System Will Not work at Hope College") was nega-tive . . . I don't really care what they did at A n t i o c h College, or whether their sys-tem breeds fine, moral "Christ-ian" youth who don't drink (to excess), don't swear (out loud), and don't cheat (allegedly). I'm concerned with what they do at Hope College and whether this institution puts forth its great-est effort to cultivate "the whole man" in preparation for life in whatever field he should enter, and whether it endeavors to so widen his scope and deepen his understanding that he may enter into a free society with a free will and a strong faith in God.

His essay carries us much deeper than the subject of an Honor System. It carries us into a necessity for re-evaluating our own moral standards and sincerely inspecting the grave problem of our not practicing what we believe. He points out that insurgent forces have pene-trated our society and suggests that we throw the blame off onto the shoulders of the ad-missions department.

He seems to visualize that these moral transgressions are committed by only a few who are all bad, and that the majori-ty, the honorable ones, are suf-fering from their actions. I'm sure that as we read his list of sins that each one of us found at least one in which we participate.

It really d o e s n ' t matter whether it was through a fault of the admissions department

that t h e s e influences came; they're here, in us and around us. What should we do about it? We cannot run away from it. This same problem will crop up in any situation where people are concerned with honesty and principle in themselves and in those with whom they associate.

College is a place for growth and experience and it is here that we must take a stand. Should we let this influence per-sist, or should we do something about it? In toleration of this sort of thing comes the uni-versal weakness of the church. Do we will that everything that we stand for and all that we believe in should be openly trampled by ourselves, in our own inadherence to our stand-ards, and by the actions of others, or do we stand up to this challenge as Christians, and begin to live by what we sin-cerely believe? In improving the self, we improve the total organization.

It is because of our failing to do so that the Honor System at Hope, a school where honor should not even be a question, cannot hope for even the dim-mest success. It is because we do not face up to our standards for our own personal conduct that we are able to be perverted by these militantly debasing in-fluences.

If we are basically slobs, let us say so and live by it, but if we have something in us that calls to that part of the mind that reaches for the sky, let us follow that and firmly, with-out doubt or regret.

LEWIS SCUDDER

Admissions Department Can Not Screen All The recent Anchor article by

Thomas Faulkner, exhorting Hope College to "either enforce or abandon its basic philoso-phies," appeared at first reading, to be the work of a man who has just discovered sin, and wants to warn everyone else

about it. Under closer study, the ar-

ticle emerged as a suggestion of a means of purging the college of a certain "undesir-able" element, with the Admis-sions Department as the screen-ing agency.

This is in the best reactionary tradition.

Attempting to support his thesis that an Honor Code will not work at Hope College, Faulkner asserts that a suc-cessful Code is impossible be-cause too many persons are being admitted to the college who have no honor. His vari-ation on a Pharisaic theme then declares that, until we can rid ourselves of this corrupt ele-ment, an honor code is doomed from the beginning.

I will go along with Faulk-ner's assertion that an Honor Code will not work a t Hope, though one could conceivably be brought into existence as an object of lip service, to satisfy those who feel that without one, we cannot look Oberlin straight in the eye.

But most Hope students know that an Honor Code will not get at the roots of the problem. Legislation of personal morals by group police pressure may reduce the visible incidence of signs of the lowering morality with which Mr. Faulkner is rightly concerned but it will serve only to drive the source of decadence underground, and re-duc common awareness of it so that it may be nourished quietly for another several years before it again bursts upon us with an even greater impact than that which first prompted serious consideration of an Honor Code.

Politicai Periscope

Government by the People! For the remainder of this semester "Political Periscope" will

be written by Andy Sens and Carol Sikkema concerning: current political issues in relation to new insights obtained on the Washing-ton Semester Program. Dr. VanPutten, chairman of the Political Science Department, urges any students interested in Politics to apply immediately for Fall 1961 Semester Program.

Is the average citizen loosing his importance in the American democratic process? The circle of the American public is divided into three areas, the first being the mass public which restrains action and flexibility as a result of its nature of being unorganized and maintaining a slight interest in public affairs.

The mass public are those who switch off the radio when newscasts come over the air while the next circle, the attentive group, are eager to know what is happening in the world. This group is more positive and has a particular interest, but still re-mains rather unorganized.

It is the next circle, the effective public, which is most crucial as they are highly organized and politically effective as molders of opinion, interpreters of pressure moving in from the mass public, and serve as a means of preparing the mass for the actions of the government.

The Process of forming public o p i n i o n has been described as a two way street in which the mass public, at-tentive public, and effective public play important roles. One of our country's major problems has been the apathy of the average citizen which leads to the influential few controlling society and government.

It is necessary to have a certain degree of management or control by experts, but the problem arises when those with power can assume domination and in a sense indoctrinate the thoughts of the mass public. The central crux of the problem is to establish a means in which there is a degree of balance in communication so that ideas and opinion can come from both the top and bottom of the ladder or from both the mass and effective public.

One of the chief functions of an i n t e r e s t group is to be an "opinion molder." This important goal is fast becoming subservient to the phase of molding opinion through strong leadership rather than strong membership. This was dis-tinctly revealed in a seminar with the A. F. L. - C. I. 0 . where Washington's leading lobbyist implied that their members have the privilege of proposing new ideas, but the regular powerful center group really decides the policies and then functions both ways on the two-way street of communication by informing both their constituency and government officials of their stands.

This is not only true of interest groups, but the National Party Committees and Conventions which are supposed to be representative of the electorate do not formulate policy on what they think is the concensus of the public, but instead ratify the concensus of the leadership. At the 1960 Republican Convention the platform committee had to write practically a new platform since Nixon and Rockefeller were not satisfied.

In the caucus of the state of Michigan this was poignantly demonstrated as the chairman led his unhappy fellow delegates to accept the new platform by stating, "What ever Dick Nixon wants, he gets!" The press as a member of the effective public also has been influential in creating one-way communication.

Many newspapers reflect the wishes of the editors and ad-vertisers rather than the opinions of the mass public, and once again those" who need to know what the public is thinking are barraged with the ideas of the powerful few.

puhltC OptfltOfl being controlled in such a manner there develops a serious ramification in that democracy is no longer "by the people," but government is by the few interested and influential people. It is not completely the fault of the power-ful leaders that this situation exists, but it is the fault of the citizens who have not exercised their duties and responsibilities.

What steps can be taken to curb this growth of an oligarchy in America? John Dewey in his book THE PUBLIC AND ITS PROBLEMS states that the main reason for public apathy "ensues from the inability of the individual to identify one's self with definite issues." The effective public should follow this course in its educational program.

By revealing the issues in a way that all the public would feel involved, the mass public will have more of an incentive to think and make suggestions concerning issues. On the other hand those individuals comprising the mass public must develop an active in-terest in pressure groups and their occupation, church, family, and avocations.

Carlyle once said, "Invent the printing press and democracy is inevitable." This statement is not necessarily true if power is placed in the wrong hands, and to be used effectively places certain obligations on the public.

First, they must be taught how to use these means in formu-lating their own opinions, and secondly, they must learn to use these means of communication to convey their opinions. If the various publics through education and responsible actions take advantage of their opportunities to express their own ideas the two-way street of communication will be open to a more intelligent and representative democratic system.

SEA Meeting Wed. The monthly meeting of

SEA will take place at 7:00 P.M. February 22, in the Con-ference room in Phelps Hall.

This month the meeting will revolve around two mov-ies from the education field. The movies are "No Teacher Alone" and "Right Angle".

After the meeting refresh-ments will be served.

W A L Sponsors

Pa jama Party The Womens Athletic League

is sponsoring a Pajama Party for the big and little sisters of Hope, the 23rd of February. The party is from 9:30 to 10:30 in the Julianna Room and of course, all the girls must wear their pajamas.

The program, costing each girl ten cents, will consist of enter-tainment, games, and refresh-ments. This will be the second year a party of this type was held. It is a turnabout on the Big Sisters who helped their younger charges get established on campus.

Y Sees Slides

On Sudan On February 7 the Y's held

their regular meeting in the Y room in the Chapel. Rev. Allen B. Cook, the college chaplain, showed slides of his trip to the Sudan in 1957. Rev Cook and his family at that time were serving the Reformed Church as missionaries to the American oilmen in Bahrain, Persian Gulf. They traveled to the Sudan to visit Bob Swart, a missionary there. Mr. Swart is a graduate of Hope College and Western Seminary.

One of Cook's pictures of particular interest to the stu-dents of Hope College was the Nuer Church at Akobo built in 1949 with the contributions of Hope students. A native pastor is now serving this church which was formerly un-der the pastorate of Rev. Harvey Hoekstra, a Reformed Church minister.

Dennis Hoekstra supplement-ed Cook's program by telling of his experiences in the Sudan. Dennis is the son of the Hoek-stra's who were formerly mis-sionaries s e r v i n g the Nuer Church. At the present time they are in the Sudan doing translation work.

cheating, stealing, and other evidences of a moral laxity at Hope, we must tackle the prob-lem as Christian individuals. This will involve first, the re-evaluation of our personal ex-amples—the establishment of a personal Honor Code, if you will.

Having arrived at a personal standard, we must cling to it with such consistency that not only the standard but the bene-fits of it make themselves ob-vious to those who have not yet made such a decision, and upon whom moral decay preys most relentlessly. If we can thus attract waverers to the idea of a self-evaluation and establishment of a personal set

of standards, we will strength-en the "honest majority" of Mr. Faulkner's conception, so that it is impervious to any inroads by the "dishonorable" element.

Dealing thus from a position of strength, we can embark on the greatest project of all— winning the violaters to the side of uprightness, and in this way, reducing the threat of corrupt penetration.

Forbid that we should use the Admissions Department as our "sanitary barrier" to separate us from our corrupters and create for us a fellowship hold-ing the attitude, "Lord, we thank Thee that we are not like other men "

Hope Places High in Debate Tourney Hope College placed third in

the 19th annual Buckeye Invi-tational Debate Tournament at Kent State University, Kent, Ohio on Saturday. The Hope debaters compiled a record of 6 wins and 2 losses in the tour-nament which was atended by forty-two debate teams from thirty-one colleges and univer-sities from Michigan, Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania.

Peter Eppinga, Holland sopho-more, and Herbert Tillema, Ar-lington, Virginia, freshman, as advocates of the affirmative, were awarded a decision over California State Teachers, Uni-versity of Akron and Ohio State University. Their only loss was to Kenyon College.

The Hope negative team of Ann Herfst, Holland junior, and Mary Whitlock, Chicago junior, also compiled a 3 and 1 record on the national intercollegiate debate resolution on Health In-

surance. Misses Whitlock and Herfst defeated Houghton Col-lege, Bowling Green State Uni-versity and Otterbein College, while losing only to Muskingum College.

Western Reserve University fo Cleveland took first place honors in the tournament with an unblemished record. Five teams tied for 2nd place with record of 7 wins and 1 loss. These included Otterbein, Mus-kingum, Wooster, St. Vincent's and Heidleberg. Other schools having 6 and 2 records were Oberlin, Case, Cincinnati;Hiram and Muskingum.

On Friday the Hope debaters participated in 2 audience de-bates on the campus of Bowl-ing Green State University.

Social Sidelights

Everybody's Singing Hi!

Here we go again with news of the latest happenings on the Sorority-Fraternity side of life these days.

Delta Phi A room scattered with red candy hearts was the setting

for the Valentine Party of Delta Phi. Devotions were given by Mary Decker. These were followed by a serious paper by Mary Gowens and a humor paper by Betsy Kruizenga. The party was made complete by several games devised by Marty Diephuis.

Arcadian At the literary meeting last week Miss Emily Hradec

(SIB) gave a very vivid recount of her experiences during her year's study in Edinburgh, Scotland. She also related her experience with Communism on her trip to Prague, Czechoslovakia.

Many Arkies and their dates enjoyed a toboggan party at Goshorn last Saturday evening. After the sliding and skating was over, the couples returned to the XOB House for refreshments and entertainment. Brian Dykstra and Don Dyksstra entertained at the piano, and as a special feature of the evening a young men's barbershop quartet composed of Jim Lucas, Dave and Dan Vliet and Tom Brat sang several well-received numbers.

Tonight the Arcadians and their sister sorority. Alpha Phi, will hold a joint meeting in the Chapel auditorium.

Alpha Phi Last Friday night Alpha Phi had their Valentine's Party.

Delores Walt was in charge of devotions and Lynn Mullikin gave the serious paper concerning the seriousness of Valen-tine's Day. Work and pleasure were combined after the meeting. Refreshments were servd and the girls practiced their song for the All-College Sing.

Dorian After their pizza party at II Fomo's and their joint

meeting with the Emmersonians, the Dorians found time for a work meeting. With formal decorations well underway, it was time for a sing practice. The Dorian's song for this year's All-College Sing will be "The Holiday Polka".

During the time out for business, Leona Jansen and Trudi Van Lente were elected as co-chairmen for the KBO Penny Carnival Booth.

Sibylline At the Sibylline literary meeting last Friday night fur-

ther plans were made for the Formal to be held at Spring Lake on Sat., February 25. Devotions were given by Sybil Brown; serious paper by Jo Van Lente dealing with a poem on love; and a humor paper by Marilyn De Witt entitled "Peoples Definitions of Love".

Knickerbocker The Knickerbockers Fraternity has been practicing for

the annnual All-College Sing. The song that was chosen is "With a Little Bit of Luck" from the musical "My Fair Lady". Plans are also being made for an open house af ter the game on Saturday night.

Pinning We extend our congratulations to Phyllis Smith (Soro-

site) and Gary Baas (Frater) on their recent pinning.

Last Wednesday night at the Holland Civic Center, the Hope College Flying Dutchmen played one of their most determined games of the season, yet lost 97-77, to an undefeated Calvin team, in a game which was considerably more thrilling than the final score would indicate. Freshman Glenn Van Wieren put Hope into the lead with the opening basket, and the lead see-sawed back and forth many times during the first half. The score was tied at 30 points, again at 34, and while a Calvin drive opened up an eight point deficit at the half, the Dutchmen came back to within a point of the Knights late in the third quarter, 51-50. The first half rebounding by by the Dutchmen provided a pleasant contrast to the last Calvin encounter, as Boink, Vanderbilt, and Vander Hill were able to control the boards against the taller Calvin squad. Van Wieren, recently re-turned to action, made impor-tant contributions in this re-spect, and Bob Reid again proved to be a defensive thorn in the side of Coach Barney Steen's a g g r e g a t i o n . This seemed to be the only chink in the Knight's armour, as the bigger guns became unlimbered in the last quarter. Warren Otte came through with his maddening consistency, and Bill Wolterstorff began to use his 79 inches to greater advantage, and Howie De Mots started hitting with a frequency that caused even the Calvin fans to shake their heads. The Knights found this victory, which vir-tually assured them of the MIAA championship, a much harder one than they, or any-one else, expected, however, and no basketball fan could complain about the lack of excitement or about the extreme competitive-ness of Wednesday's encounter. No Hope fan could complain about the performance of his team, either. It was a superla-tive effort against a superior ball club, an attempt, nearly successful, that the Dutchmen can be proud of.

Many of the fans who arrived at the Civic Center early, pre-sumably to obtain seats, were treated to as thrilling a game as imagination could produce, as the Hope College Junior Var-sity came from behind in the last second of play to topple

A Gallant Effort the Calvin Jay-vees 70 to 69. Unaccustomed to playing to any audiences at all, much less enthusiastic ones, Coach Sieden-top's charges seemed to falter before the Knights, who had beaten them three times pre-viously in the season, but picked up momentum in the last half, and stayed neck and neck until the thrilling finish. Freshmen Jim Overbeek and Art Kramer excelled on offense, while Ron Te Beest, a Freshman from Denver, Colorado spelled the difference beneath the boards. Kramer's two foul shots tied the contest at 69 all, and with one second remaining, Tom Hoek-stra, was fouled by an over-anxious Knight and went to the foul line with the balance of the game on his shoulders. In true storybook fashion, Hoek-umstra converted amid a pande-monium of screaming and yelling that the TV audience never saw.

Tomorrow night, the Dutch-men make their final appearance in Holland for the 1961 season

as they square off against Al-bion in an attempt to avenge a former 59-77 defeat.

Cheerleaders Spark Games (Cont'd from Page 1)

again on Wednesday night they cheered to the camera's eye as well and the spectators thou-sands, in the return Calvin game.

Another highlight of the year has been the addition of new cheerleader outfits for the Hope ten. Provided by the Athletic Association, the trim costumes feature a white knee pleated skirt and letter sweater.

Practicing a minimum of once per week, with "extras" for special g a m e s , cheerleaders qualify with a 2.0 average, athletic a b i l i t y (meaning "splits") and a peppy smile. And if cheerleaders are long-winded, it's because yelling and

turning cart wheels at once takes some practice.

Asked the question "What do you think makes a good cheer?" the Hope cheerleaders, empha-sized first simplicity, and are always scouting fresh ideas that are catchy and original. Ideas for new cheers are usually dis-covered by one of the girls, or offered by another student, and then worked out in one of the team's practice sessions.

Tomorrow night's game will be the last time that "The basketball team gets in the huddle" to spur a home con-test to victory, and ten lively Hope cheerleaders will conclude another year.
