Anauta, Eskimo Lecturer,

To Speak Here March 27 WAL Presents Noted Baffin Isldnd Eskimo

The Women's A c t i v i t y League with Helen Wilhelm in charge, is bringing the only Eskimo woman lecturing in America to speak a t Hope Chapel, Monday e v e n i n g March 27, at 8:15. Admission will be fifty-five cents for adults and forty cents for stu-dents. -

Anauta (Ah-now-ta) was born and grew to womanhood about 400 miles from the North Pole on Baffin Island. Her parents were nomadic Es-kimos — hunting, trapping, and chewing skins for clothes, as a livelihood.

Fulfilling an E s k i m o custom,

Anauta was given the name of a

young man, son of a nearby family,

who had been killed on an ice-pan

the day of her birth. She was raised

as a male Eskimo and became pro-

ficient in shooting seal, deer, and

polar bear, driving dog sleds, build-

ing snow houses, preparing "frost-cooked" lean meat and making beautiful garments from skins. She will appear in one of these native costumes. .

Husband Drowned

When the mother of a young Scotch fafnily that had come to live in the far north died, Anauta adopted her small baby. Later An-auta watched the baby's fa ther and her husband perish when their ca-

noe capsized. A captain of a small t rading vessel brought Anauta, the baby, and her own two daughters to St. Johns, Newfoundland.

At this port Anauta sold some fu r s and earned enough money to enable her to see the New World. She and her daughters traveled about C a n a d a and the United States. They gradually learned the English language, became educated and finally naturalized.

Anauta will open up a source of information about a little known people with an amazing amount of humor and keen insight into human nature. She has given hundreds of lectures and has won wide acclaim here in the United States.

Friend of Grenfell

Anauta is the heroine of the book "Land of Good Shadows" that con-tains a foreword written by Sir Wilfred Grenfell three days before his death. It is interesting to note that her father worked for Dr. Grenfell on his fox farms.

New Poise Club Formed'for Girls

In response to a desire expressed

by many of the girls on campus, and the instigation of Rose Seith, a Poise Club has been formed with Dean Lichty and Mrs. Kronemeyer as faculty advisers. The group, which meets at five o'clock every Thursday afternoon in the Sorosis room and is open open to all girls, has as its purpose the discussion of the many qualities which make for a well balanced college gradu-ate.

Since the beginning of the club less than a month ago, three well attended and profitable meetings have been held. The first meeting, led by Rose Seith with open dis-cussion by all present, was con-cerned with the subject of poise. Personality in general was the topic of the next gathering with Polly Naas acting as leader. Norma Lemmer took charge of last week's meeting which dealt with individ-ual personality.

Tomorrow afternoon's session will have Miss Ross as its speaker and future meetings will find other faculty members and outside speak-ers as well as student leaders.

Scalpel Club Subscribes To Medical Journal

At the last meeting of Scalpel Club, it was voted that a subscrip-tion to the American Medical Jour-nal be ordered and placed on file in the science library. The use of this is not confined to members alone, but may be read by anyone wishing to do so.

In . . . . Digestion

By Edna May Richards It will be interesting to see what propaganda Dr. Goebbels will

produce when the disabled Nazi war prisoners, repatriated in the exchange ship Gripsholm, arrive in Germany. No doubt, there will be variations from the unsolicited remarks made by the prisoners before leaving. They praised highly the comforts of their trip from the prison camp to the ship. They were amazed at the luxury of the parlor cars which were placed at their dis-posal and many admitted it was the first time they have ever been inside one. The courteous attention of the MPs flattered them when they usually saluted before requesting their names, ranks, and serial numbers. However, what most impressed them occurred when an Army colonel actually sat down in the dining car with a group of Nazi privates. They declared that never could happen in the German Army.

Washington officials admit privately that they aren't too happy about the idea of the dismemberment of Germany that has been brought out into the open by Churchill. Officially, there has been no United States commitment on the question. It 's generally agreed, however, that if the Poles, with Anglo-Russian support, get a chunk of the Reich it will encourage some of the western Allied powers, such as Belgium, Holland and France, to make territorial demands. This, it is feared, might help to sow the seeds for another war. Some in Washington also weren't pleased by Churchill's statement that the Atlantic Charter wouldn't apply to Germany, remarking, "The postwar outlook is gett ing more realistic and less idealistic every day."

From the report of a Latin American diplomat who recently lef t the Reich we may be doing some wishful thinking in regard to the stortages in Germany. The food problem is not too serious. Af t e r every bombing extra rations are brought out in abundance. There also seems to be a plentiful supply of concentrated vita-mins. Of course, some staples are scarce, but, over all, rationing controls work well. However, leather and textiles are very short. Even officials are seen in broken, run-down shoes, and the new ones have wooden soles and tops of cardboard or other ersatz material . Clothing can be replaced only when a garment is abso-lutely unwearable.

Dies Suddenly Rev. George Steinenger, father

of former Hope freshman, Helen Steinenger, was stricken Tuesday afternoon, February twenty-ninth, on the way f rom Grand Haven to New York City. Hedied at eight-twenty P. M. in a hospital in Wick-ersham, having nearly reached his destination.

Having received his medical dis-charge September 1, 1943, with the rank of major, he recently accepted a call to become the pastor of the East 89th Street Reformed Church of New York City, former pasto-rate of Rev. James Nettinga of Holland.

Rev. Steinenger was born in New York City July (5, 1888. He gradu-ated from Hope in the class of 1919. While attending Hope, among other activities, he took part in the State and then the National Oratorical Contest, the subject of his speech being The Military Uniform of the Christmas Tree. Following his at-tendance at New Brunswick Theo-logical seminary in New Jersey, he attended the Union Theological Seminary in New York where, in 1920, he received his master 's de-gree in theology,

A number of churches in N e w York have been served by Rev. Steinenger and in the summer of 1937, he was the pastor of the Eng-lish speaking church in the Hague, The Netherlands.

Besides serving in the Michigan National Guard ten years as Chap-lain, he also served in the regular army as Chaplain at Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont, and later at the 7th port of embarkation at Charles-ton, S. C. From South Carolina, where his rank was raised from Captain to Major, he was trans-ferred to Colton, California. Here he became ill and received his medi-cal discharge.

Church circles of New York knew him well; and, Monday, February 28th, was the day set for his in-stallation as pastor of the 89th Street Reformed Church.

Koch Wil l Sing In Chapel Tomorrow

On Thursday, the 9th of March, at 11:00 A. M., the second in the series of morning contests will be presented. Mr. Raymund Koch, baritone, will be the soloist.

MILESTONE Sends Out Call for Class Poet

Much buried talent has been un-earthed in the junior class in the production of this year's MILE-STONE, but a potential poet is still needed to write a bit of verse fo r the publication. The staff requests volunteers f rom the class who are able to write poetry and would be willing to do so for the year book.

The remainder of the book is be-ing assembled fast enough so tha t t will be available to the students [)efore they leave school this spring. Par ts of the material have already been sent to the printer, and the photography is well under way. Practically all students have had their pictures taken and any who haven't are to . see Evelyn Shiffner.

W.A.L. Plans Three

Big Spring Events The Women's Activities League

has a heavy schedule for spring:

March 27—"Anauta."

April 22—May Day.

May 3 and 4—Mrs. Howard F. Bigelow.

May Day chairman, Dorothy Wichers announced that the annual event will take place on Saturday, April 22. Due to the possibility of the Army Unit being present the date has been set up from the tra-ditional month of May. However, the gala-day will still be known as May Day and will include the usual May Day festivities. Weather permitting, this will be a girls' track meet throughout the after-noon, and the Coronation will be held outside in the grove. The ban-quet and program will again be held in the Carnegie Gym with Pro-fessor McLean in charge of the kitchen production. The list of May Day Committees is not yet com-plete for publication but it will be out some time this week.

Due to the league's heavy sched-ule for spring it was decided that we dispense with the All-College Sing this year. A vote was taken in each of the sororities which re-sulted in the belief that lack of man power caused lack of enthu-siasm for such an affair either as competition or as entertainment and that a schedule more full than ever this year left no time for such a project.

The first week in May brings to our campus Mrs. Howard F. Bige-low of Kalamazoo. Mrs. Bigelow has had experience in speaking to groups on dating problems and also on marriage relations. She will be here fo r a few days to give the student body a chance to meet with her and discuss similar topics. There will be group meetings and personal interviews open to both the men and women of the campus.

English Majors Feature France On Thursday

Fri tz Jonkman is the chairman of the English Majors meeting

which will be held Wednesday eve-ning, March 15, a t 7:30 in the Sorosis room. Following the plan of presenting a program on a dif-ferent country each month, the theme of this meeting will be France.

Barbara Reed will present a pa-per on Guy De Maupassant. Du-bussy's "Au Claire du Lune" will be played by Anna Ruth Poppen and Betty Jane Sm^th will read one of De Maupassant's short stories. Af t e r the presentation by Ruth Van Bronkhorat of an origi-nal bit of writing the meeting will J)e open for^diBcuwoji... '

Sugar 'n' spice 'n' everything

nice. That 's Norm. J o be more

exact — Norma Winifred Lemmer

from Kalamazoo, Michigan — lived

there all her life. The first thing

she'll talk about is her brother who's at Johns-Hopkins. You see, her main or should I say "man" interest is in the medical field. Ever heard of a guy named Bill ?

It 's said of Norm that she can't say "no." In almost every campus activity she plays some part and loves it, for she says that " the more you put into a thing, the more you get out of it ." She's a sports enthusiast and her record includes tennis, volleyball, basket-ball, softball and track. But she doesn't stop with that field. Her well-rounded career includes an ac-tive part in W.A.L., Pan Hel, French Club and Voorhees House Board. Music is another of her interests, and she can be found singing lustily in both Glee Club and Choir.

Since high school days Norm has staunchly backed this s tatement: "There's more to school or college than can be found in books" — and if you take even half a squint at her activities you can quickly see she believes in practicing what she preaches.

Her likes are many and include people first of all, knitting when-ever she can, clothes and almost all foods.

When she graduates this J u n e she will be qualified to teach either kindergarten or first grade as that 's where her interests lie — though for the. past three years she's been collecting interest in a bank.

In addition to the achievements already mentioned, she's been pres-ident of Sorosis, associate editor of the MILESTONE, writer for Anchor, member of Y, secretary of Commons Council, chairman of Ny-kerk Cup Contest and a member of Queen's Court.

We all know Norm — her bub-bling enthusiasm, her bright smile, her unending interest and her gen-uine personality — all taken to-gether make her a real college co-ed.

German Club Will Study Career of Heine

The March meeting of the Ger-man Club will be held Thursday, March 9th. Eleanor Mulder is chair-man of the meeting; which is to be on the life and works of Heine. An interesting sketch of his life is to be given and examples of his most famous works a re to be read. The best known of these is "Du bist wei eine Blume." Songs will be sung and a game period will follow the formal par t of the program. Re-freshments are to be served. The meeting is scheduled fo r 7:30 and will be held in the Thesaurian Room.

Honor students of the Class of

1944 were announced by Registrar

Thomas E. Welmers at the chapel

service on Wednesday morning,

March 8. Heading the list was Gra-

dus Shoemaker, Holland chemistry

major, with an average of 3.704.

Shoemaker, an outstanding science

student throughout his four years,

has also served as president of Chemistry Club, a member of Stu-dent Council, and of Knickerbocker Fraternity.

Tardiff, Koeppe, Van Bronkhorst Follow

In second place with 3.689, came Vivian Tardiff, also a Holland resi-dent, and a major in the English department. Miss Tardiff has been outstanding on the campus, par-ticularly in the fields of debate and orator^, and as president of Women's Activities League. Roger Koeppe, chemistry major ; and Ruth Van Bronkhorst, English major, fol-lowed in third and fourth place respectively. Both Koeppe and Miss Van Bronkhorst have been active on student publications and in the "Y" organizations.

More Than "B" Averages

Including the four mentioned above, a total of eighteen members of the class received better than a "B" average for all their work through the end of last semester. They are as follows: Gradus Shoemaker 3.704 • Vivian Tardiff 3.589 Roger Koeppe 3.579 Ruth Van Bronkhorst 3.6046 Harland Steele 3.5045 lone Strick 3.503 Marian Sandee 3.490 Lois Koopman 3.478 Leonard Sibley 3.458 Milton Verburg 3.452 Cecil Hendrix 3.450 Marian De Weerd 3.228 Dorothy Wichers 3.193 , Phyllis Pelgrim 3.149 Marjorie Emery 3.148 Persis Parker 3.137 Lois Hinkamp 3.126 .

Brandli, Stegeman Orate for Hope

On Friday, March 10, a t Lansing the State Oratorical Contest will meet for its forty-seventh annual Men's Contest and the thirty-sev-enth annual Women's Contest.

Started in 1871, the Michigan Oratorical Organization is one of the oldest in the country and boasts of such famous members as the late Senator La Follette, John N. Fin-ley of the New York Times and the late William Jennings Bryan.

Representing Hope this year will be Miss Harriet Stegeman, winner of the Adelaide Contest, presenting "Our Boom in Badness" and Mr. Wilbur Brandli, winner of the Ra-ven Contest, giving "Taps and Reveille." They will be accompa-nied by Miss Metta Ross, professor of English and History, acting as extra assisting judge, and Mr. Wil-liam Schrier, professor of Speech and State Director of Oratory.

Ten of the eleven schools repre-sented in the Intercollegiate Speech League will send contestants; the winner to represent the state of Michigan in the National Contest at Evanston, Illinois, on April 27 and 28.

For the past few years Hope haa done itself proud in the state ora-torical contests, for two consecutive . years, winning both first and second places. 7 ,

Plans have been perfected for the two contestants to give their orations for the Rotary Club and at the high school. The adult class at Hope Church and the student body of Hope College have already had the pleasure of hearing both Miss Stegeman and Mr. Brandli.

Pfc . Seymour Padnoe is "work-

the air b a s e issuing clearance

papers to pilots leaving our base,

and receiving papers from incoming

ships—it is very interesting work

and the location is very agreeable."

He is at Stout Field. Indianapolis,

of fellows just out of Denison U.,

but none from Hope—though they

did know our boys down there.

MUSTEE

A/C Jimmy Mustee was injured

while in the paratroops and "I am

having trouble with it again. I am

in the cadets, but I have been in

the hospital for three months and

don't know when I will get out, so

they may not let me continue cadet

training. I enjoy the copies of the

Anchor that you send me and want to thank you very much. I have met several paratroopers that I trainedi with who have been in action, wounded and sent here to Valley Forge. We are in a large hospital and conditions here are very good. There are quite a few WAC's and nurses here, but in spite of Prof. Hinga's efforts, I am afraid I am still on the defensive. Well, I must sign off and go down for some more injections — I had 37 one day. .For that amount I should be entitled to a 'purple heart ' or something, huh?"

HOFMEYER

From the Pampa Army Air Field in Texas, comes word that A/C Benjamin Hofmeyer is scheduled to receive his silver pilot's wings and officers' bars soon. Hofmeyer was appointed to f l i g h t training in August, 1943, received his primary flight training at Ft. Worth, Texas, his basic flifjht training at Coffey-ville, Kansas. After completion of his r i g i d training at the twin-engine advanced flyinjj school of the AAF Training Command at Pampa, he will be assigned to duty ' as an instructor or a combat pilot.

N1ENHUIS

Les Nienhuis, A / S at Ann Arbor, is taking exams. "I come home the l()th. Boy, will that be a happy day—to be finished with this hectic semester. Last week I saw three shows and went to a dance—a bit too much time out for a medical student—but . . .

HIGGS

Dick Higgs says of Denison: "Nothing exciting or extraordinary has happened h e r e lately. Our basket-ball team is the only bright light of the whole thing. We've won 17 and lost 2. Rusty and I both play so you can see the team is plenty 'sharp. ' My week-ends are spent traveling somewhere to play ball so I've really been a good boy. . . . . We were told last week that we are to be held here another four months, which means I'll be here until at least July. The same goes for all the other fellows from Hope here."

PAPE

Len Pape, back at Buckley Field, Colorado, writes: "I enjoyed my-self those two days in Holland— they were about the best days of my furlough . . . I^s t Sunday I went up in the mountains and really had a swell time.,> We went to a place called Brethod Pass, which is 12,150 feet above sea level. It is a wonderful place to ski—if you know how to zig-zag all the trees. They have one run seven miles lonp and another one which is five miles long—no place for rookies. Then we went to a place called the Con-tinental Divide. All the water east of the divide flows into the Atlantic Ocean, and all the water west of the divide flows into the Pacific Ocean. I sure have seen some won-derful places since I've been out here, and when the war is over I would Jike to spend a couple of weeks in the mountains to hunt and fish and see more of them. Well I guess I might be leaving this field soon. The school here is folding up fast. They are sending out 12 to 15 instructors a week, and I guess they will send me to aerial gunnery school (I hope)."

A Letter to the Boys

Fellows, it almost seems like old

times again, sitting up here pound-ing away, with only an hour or more before the deadline and the hot breath of the CO (Miss Wil-helm) blowing down my neck. But, a f t e r all, this an emergency, and who am I to argue with the CO. Besides, she's pretty cute — hmm, say, she's darn cute!

This week-end has been an excep-tionally advantageous one, speak-ing now in terms of the male sex. Our good friends, the Marines and Navy, have returned in huge num-bers, and believe me, everything is well in hand, and a beachhead has been established. Of course, this couldn't have been accomplished without the noble assistance of the Army Air Corps and it 's represent-ative, Jack Yeomans. The wolf of Voorhees has returned to the scene of his crimes, but for once is con-tent to shower his technique upon a one and only, a certain Miss Barnes, from Chickie way. The latest communique reports as much progress as can be expected. Herk Van Tongeren, the one Marine of the lot whose physique does justice plus to the traditions of the Corps, had all the boys over Friday eve-ning for a big reunion. Wally Schermer walked off with honors in the dress ..parade; it seems the poor lad just can't get that lust fo r civilian at t ire out of his blood, fo r

he showed up in a fancy sport

coat, which, when carefully scru-

tinized proved to be no more than

a fat igue jacket pressed up. The

lipstick on his face put the finish-

ing touches to a fairly good reason

for a section VIII. (The gals at

Hope will just have to ask their

Flame Thrower friends at college

what that means.) Then we have a

bit of Navy in Shorty" Wyngar-den, another chick; for no partic-ular reason at all he was the life of the party — or was there a par-ticular reason? Say, I wonder? Well, I'll be kicked — you know, I never thought of that. He was the only bell-bottomed lad there, but believe me, he held up all Navy traditions — kept saying he got that way from duty on a destroyer. I thought he was fighting the battle of Dennison U. Well, let's get back to the Marines —it seems someone always does. (Dale Van Lente just knocked the door over and came in in true style, to bid good-bye; he's heading back to Notre Dame and the slide rule — "So-long Van, see you in Tokio"). He, too, was at the party last evening. Ihck Higgs. Don Schremer and M e r l e Van Den Berg finished off the Ma-rine roster ; all three of them are mighty proud of the Corps, and have a right to be. (You'd think I was a sea-going bellhop). All in fun, boys, all in fun — when you

get a chance like this I'll expect

the same.

Of course, there were a great

many more of the fellows home,

who couldn't make it to the party.

Roy Davis was found in his usual

spot in the Model, sipping cokes;

the Bonzelaar twins and Red Wier-

enga were having a bull session

over a couple of tall ones in the

corner booth, next to the juke box;

and this afternoon all the lads

from Western will come in, walking in the usual swagger, the result of living on the second deck, or maybe too much Calculus.

That just about covers what I've

run into while spending a five-day pass around the old homestead. My apologies to anyone missed, and if I did it's only because of the short stay.

I'm afraid this bit of news is a f a r call from the popular "Whoo-zit," which it is replacing, but when I get back to the air base and more of the boys come home, I certainly hope they take a crack at writing about what goes on back here. It 's the kind of thing I like to read about; where the fellows are, what they're doing, how they're making out and if Snafu or Tarfu have taken over as yet (I t ' s a military secret.)

Well, fellows, the deadline is here and I'm about ready for a coke a t Ye Olde Modele, so "Keep 'Em Rolling, Flying and Riding,", and you, too, take a stab at this sort of thing while home for a brief spell. You certainly can't do any worse than I did.

The Vesper which has been post-

poned so often is really on its way

now. We're planning t j have it the

third Sunday of this month at

4:00. An excellent program has

been arranged that promises to be very interesting.

There will be two organ solos —

one by Anna Ruth Poppen and the

other — Ruth Probst. Ruth has chosen Clockey's "The Wind in the Pine Trees." The vocal solos will be sung by Freida Grote and Pvt. Roy Berry. Freida's selection is "Come Unto Him" by Mendelssohn, and Roy will sing "The Blind Plow-man" by Clarke. There will be two duets on the program. One is a harp and cello duet, "Largo" by Handel, which will be played by-Betty Fuller and Patricia Haskins. The organ and piano duet chosen by Mrs. Snow and Mrs. Karsten is "Kammenoi-Ostrou" by Ruben-stein. The Girls' Choir will per-form for the first time with the selection "The Lord is My Shep-herd" by Schubert. "I Walked To-day Where Jesus Walked," by O'Hara, will be the Girls' Glee Club selection. It sounds like a good program — n'est-ce-pas ? See you all there at 4:00 on the 19th.

The second in the series of morn-ing concerts will take place tomor-row at 11:00. Mr.. Koch's program sounds excellent.'

Before signing off for this week — we would like to congratulate Anna Ruth on the beautiful piece of work she did at her recital. Keep up the good work, Anna Ruth, it was "super!"

The blue and cloudless sky We say, "Alas, how high . . There is a purple bird: Silence, no uttered word. With buttons on his shirt He digs the eager dirt. Ingenious paradox! The radiator knocks, The captain wanders through . . . The bird has turned to blue. Is there a way to tell If this is heaven or The corner of Tenth and Col-

"Maker of Dreams" Enacted By P. & M.

The Pallette and Masque meet-ing of February 21 was opened by the new president, J an Bogart. Since several offices had not been filled, elections were held. Edna Mae Richards is the new secretary-treasurer and Mitzi Bode is the Anchor reporter.

It was suggested that those mem-bers who are intereoted in art use their talents to design and paint posters for the Publicity Commit-tee. A discussion followed con-cerning the presentation of the one-act play, "Overtones," for the May Day celebration. It was agreed upon by all that the play should be given. Try-outs will be held at the next meeting.

The center of interest was then turned toward the entertainment of the evening. First was a dialogue from part of Shakespeare's Mer-chant of Venice, by our one re-maining man, Wilbur Brandli. He made a colorful portrayal of An-tonio and Shylock's speech regard-ing "the thousand duckets" without and costuming and scenery but with a large amount of imagination.

In contrast to the dramatic dia-logue, a group of girls presented a light, romantic and delightful one-act play, Maker of Dreams. The play concerned a dance team com-posed of Pierrette, a gay and viva-cious young girl, charmingly en-

European Traveler Speaks to French Club

The opening note of French Club, held in the Delphi room, Wednes-day evening, tflarch 8, was group singing led by%orma Lemmer with Marge Emery a t the piano. The program was then turned over to the . guest speaker, an American who has lived in France, and who, because of e x t e n s ive travel throughout Europe, was particu-larly qualified to give a broad-minded opinion of Europe in rela-tion to the rest of the world. The speaker also showed a moving pic-ture of the many places he had visited.

acted by Joanne Decker, and Pier-rott, her dancing partner, a hand-some and versatile young man, en-acted teasingly by (Mr.) Ruth Elli-son. Pierrot, bustfy composing new-songs and interested in his admir-ers and gay amusement in the town, was quite unaware of Pierrette 's deep love for him, until " the mak-er of dreams" appeared in the per-son of Milly Burghardt, and awak-ened his consciousness to his love for Pierrette. The "maker of dreams," having done another good iurn and having made another dream come true, then disappeared.

The c o n c 1 u sion of the play brought the conclusion of the meet-ing.

Clean Up the Campus Clut+er A few days ago a young service

man remarked: "Hope sure is bet-ter than some of these other places I have seen . . then he stopped, glanced about him, and concluded with a high-pitched: "But . .

We knew what he meant. Hope had changed. The people were the same, the buildings were no differ-ent. BUT! Yes, that "BUT" meant one thing, the appearance of Hope. This young man had learned a sense of cleanliness and respect for property, a sense which for some reason is not quite as prevalent as one would seem.

Possibly we who are here con-stantly get used to things as they are, but he saw it again a f t e r a long period elsewhere and noticed the conditions at once. He went into the Commons Room and found a messed-up, smoke-filled room, with a littered floor, the condition of which seemed to bother no one in the least. He saw students eat-ing candy, rolling up the wrapper and depositing it in some conven-ient corner of the hall. Yes, he saw all this in one building, and scowled. Something new, a laxity, had been added to Hope, and it wasn't good.

He walked to the Administration building and before entering was "greeted" with scattered orange! peels and pop bottles. Definitely,' something new has been added to |

Hope.

Soon, he strolled down the walk.

Oh, pardon us. He strolled across the lawn. Students wouldn't allow him to use the walk. The army, only two abreast , needed the whole walk. Groups of g i r l students wouldn't break up their combina-tions for anyone. We knew what he was thinking. He didn't mind walking on the grass if that was the way they wanted it. But when Spring comes, this campus certain-ly will be a reasonable facsimile of a freshly plowed garden.

If our young friend had stayed longer, ho would have seen much more of the same. This is what he saw in a few hours. And if this is the appearance to a tolerant Hope-ite, what must a s t ranger think of us! Don't think that we lay the blame on the doorstep of either the administration or the janitorial staff. We students, civilian and army alike, are responsible. There are those of us who have done our best, those who just don't care, and those who just don't know any better. The first had better do some missionary work; the second should see themselves as others see them; and the third, "it is not too late to learn."

We do not wish to scold; our pur-pose is to remind. Anyhow, if the shoe fits. . . .

DELPHI

In quiet dignity, eight pledges were received formally into the sis-terhood of Delta Phi last Friday. Each freshman girl, dressed in a long white gown, was brought be fore the officers of the sorority by a black-robed senior. Before a can-dle-lit table the oath was adminis tered by President Marjorie Emery to Myra Brouwer, Jean Caan, Joan Droppers, Gale Koop, Elaine Meus-sen. Dona Mulder, Jerry Uppleger and Betty Van Lente. A f t e r each pledge had lighted her small candle f r o m the large one burning on the daffodil decorated table, a short program was presented. ». The president of the Alumnae Society, Mrs. Stanley Boven, de-livered an inspiring address based on the Delta Phi creed, presenting the various highlights of it, and emphasizing the importance of the words contained in it. Then, Mar-jorie Brouwer sang for the group "A Heart That 's Free" and "You Are Trvje." In order to please every-one, however, she was brought back to sing "The Sweetheart of Delta Ph i " and ' My Hero."

The ladies of Trinity Church, in whose parlors initiation service was held, then served a light supper which was pleasantly eaten amidst t h e ' happy reminiscing and gay chat ter of alumnae and members — new and old.

SOROSIS

In an i m p r e s s i v e candlelight ceremony in the Sorosis room Fri-day night, nine pledges were for-mally initiated into the sorority. Led by black-robed seniors who hummed t h e Sorosis s o n g , the pledges in white dresses entered the room where the initiation cere-mony was conducted by President Ellen Jane Kooiker.

Following "pinning" of pledges, members enjoyed a talk on the im-portance of sincerity in life by Miss Metta J. Ross of the college faculty, a Sorosis alumni. Marge Friesema played a piano selection and society officers were hostesses at the traditional officers' t rea t . '

THESAURIAN v

On Friday, March 3, 1944, the Thesaurian society held its formal initiation at the home of Genevieve Bussies. Devotions were in charge of Betty Jane Smith.

Speech Continued enced debate tournament, provincial speech contest, and the Red Cross speech campaign.

"The freshnren and inexperienced debate tournament will be held in Kalamazoo under the auspices of the Western Michigan College of Education. The two teams eligible to represent Hope are Luella Pyle and Joanne Decker, who won three out of three debates in the State Debate Tournament at East Lan-sing, and Edith Wolbrink and Ruth Ellison, who won two out of three debates at the same tournament. Our various teams brought home nine victories out of seventeen that day.

Four or five entries from Hope for the provincial speech contest to be held at Wallace Baldwin Col-lege, Berea, Ohio, have not as yet been decided upon but will be chosen from the list of those elig-ible: Harland Steele, winner of last year's provincial contest; Bill Brandli, Vivian Tardiff, Eleanor Everse, Harriet Stegeman, M a r y Elizabeth Aldrich, and Betty Jayne Smith.

In cooperation with Mr. Hin-kamp regional Red Cross director, the Red Cross campaign is being augmented by the speech depart-ment of the college in providing speakers for P.T.A., etc. On March 14 Miss Elsie Parsons will speak at Lincoln School; on March 21 Miss Phyllis Barense will speak at Van Raalte school and Miss Mary Elizabeth Aldrich will speak at the Longfellow school.

The forensic season of the col-

lege has been very i iu i t fu l thus far and shows indications of concluding successfully.

round of its basketball league on

F r i d a y , February 25. The two

games were played in the Holland

Furnace gym.

In the first game the Pre-Sems

met the Sophs in a rough, high-

scoring, one-sided battle. Brandli

played his heart out for the Sophs

but nothing he could do could stop

one-marvteam Hine who was red

hot all night. Before the game was

over Hine had dropped in 33 points.

The Sems won an easy 47-8 victory.

The last game was definitely the |

m o s t interesting g a m e of the

league. The twice-beaten Senior-

Chems clashed with the undefeated

Frosh. Neither team held more

than a four-point lead a t any time.

Snow was disabled for the next

week. Rog Koeppe came through

with a black eye. The game almost

ended in a riot over some scoring

The snow and ice are melting, the squirrels are coming out

of hibernation, the sun seems brighter and warmer, and soon

the grass will turn green. To the poet, these inspire odes

and ballads. To the military, they inspire plans for invasion.

Tanks, planes and men become efficient killing machines in

spring. And this spring, more than ever before, becomes a

time for a showdown battle on both fronts.

We make no attempt to predict what will happen in Spring,

1944, but we will hazard the guess that, whatever it is, it

will be on a grand scale. If it required a million men to invade

Italy, it will require many times that number to storm the

"Festung Europa" — men that came and will come from the

United States and its Allies. Draft boards nave nearly ex-hausted the supply of men eligible for combat service. Sol-diers stationed in the United States are being sent overseas in great numbers, but more men are needed. If you need a reason for the curtailment of ASTP, that 's it.

We do not believe that the men of this unit need be re-minded that modern warfare is specialized and scientific. Our modern machines of death are precise instruments that need skilled hands for their manipulation. It was because the Army wanted our hands skilled that -we were sent here. (From the very outset of the program, there were those among us who felt they were not doing their full share to win. They asked for transfers but few got them. Those of us who remained, believed that by staying and by learning, we were helping to end this war.) The War Department has decided to abolish basic ASTP. We are sure the decision was founded on good reasons. Our usefulness as scholars is al-most over. Our next task is to apply that information which

- 'we have been given.

There is not one among us who does not appreciate the good food and clean life we've come to enjoy while at Hope, nor can we easily forget the friendships we've made, but wars are not won with sentimentality, nor is a soldier to expect a "high standard of living." We know that "Blood, Sweat and Tears" is no idle phrase when applied to the war. Blood and sweat go forth to battle but tears remain behind the lines in the homes of the men who struggle.

Yes, Spring is on its way and to citizens of their country this means the time has come for an effort unparalleled in unstinting sacrifice. No family has remained out of this conflict. The "flesh and blood" of every citizen will be com-mitted to this battle. The thoughts of the civilians must be geared toward ending the conflict in the shortest possible time. How much more strongly must we of the Armed Forces feel toward fullest participation in this decisive effort, for only the superlative is of use on the battlefield — Most, Fast-est, Best. The soldier tha t does not do his best does not live. We hope tha t .our best is good enough. Those that have already graduated from ASTP have proven their worth in battle. It seems as if that bit of extra knowledge really counts. If our added knowledge ends the war one day sooner, ASTP was worth while.

Dopes At Hope Give "Hope For The Best

Do you like the song "Darl ing,

Speak Low?" I like it, too, but 1

can't go on listening to it because

I have to write an article about the soldiers and their show. I 'LL begin:

This is the inside dope giving you

the low down on that show of all

shows, s tar r ing Gl Joes in "Hope for the Best" or "Dopes at Hope" or "Uh, Uh! Nope!" The sun is hot during the day and the s tars are beautiful at night. This descrip-tion might very easily be applied to the bevy of beauties who will shake their shoulders for you in a stupendous, colossal num-ber, said by the producers to be the greates t thing since Sam Gold-wyn's Broadway Melody of '33.

"We aim to please," s a i d the director. Wobble Dobber GorchoflF, and to prove it introduced me to a boy who sings so much like Frankie S. that the PX gals w h o have watched his act have held out only to the second line before swooning. Maybe it was the song he sang! That is all except the gal with hair like a m i s t of soft moonbeams (good for one ice cream bar) was too busy watching the act that will stop all acts. But you'll have to see the show yourself. What do you want me to do? Tell you all about it and spoil the suspense? Anyway if you knew what the show was going to offer, you would prob-ably decide to spend the two hours and fifteen minutes much more profitably by knit t ing or filling out your income tax reforms. This re-minds me of a joke. One Gl Joe to another, "I hate to look ahead

I to a March of 31 days." 2nd Gl : i " H u h ! " (Uproarous laughter.)

I tried to get some of my mate-rial in the show, but 1 guess we have our own Hay's office. At any rate don't f o r g e t the splendid opportunities to purchase ham on the black market. They're going to have enough to spare!

We understand tha t there was a sudden influx of phone calls at Voorhees following our last publi-cation. Aren' t we little Dorothy Dixs, though? Anything else you gals would like?

If Ziegfield is going to be in town next week we advise him to stop in and see the Army show. There is going to be plenty of high kicking and many a well turned ankle (and more) revealed in this mammoth production.

The Firins Li In order to answer a few accusa-

tions and intimations expressed by

the coeds in the preceding issue of

the Anchor, we polled the army

boys and discovered w h a t they

think of the coeds. The writer takes

no responsibility for opinions ex-

pressed — these are strict quota-

tions:

Tilden Pick: "The gals are very gullible. I'll take Southern belles any day."

Shirley Cooksey: "Everybody's business is everybody else's busi-ness as f a r as the gals are con-cerned. They're catty in such a subtle way."

Umbriago: "I think the goils r jus peechy. They don't wistle at me enuf."

Lawrence D o o l e y : d e f i n i t e l y lacking."

Roy Berry: "1 think they are a swell bunch of girls, but there is an adolescent element present."

Jim Madigan: "They're 0 . K. but they don't call me up enough."

Carter Cole: "Fickle as ?!:)3*."

Bob GleaHon: "Since my atten-tions are more or less localized, my opinions would be prejudiced."

Bill RuHsell: "I think we're for-tunate to run into a bunch of girls as swell as they are." (Ed. note: That 's why he goes to Evanston every week-end.)

Jim Gindler: "Oh, I don't know." (Ed. note—I'm sure he doesn't.)

Kosequat and Diehl: "In the first place, when we go for nickels at the canteen counter, we are not wolfing—we need nickels to call the girls downtown."

Two weeks should be enough

time for this little war to subside.

In the next issue we will introduce

another subject which will also be

interesting e n o u g h to invoke a

slight controversy. (We hope.)

Hope ASTP Team Trims

Kazoo In Return Match In a pair of hotly contested basketball games played a t the Holland

Armory last Wednesday night, the boys of Hope College's A S T P unit defeated the representat ives from- Kalamazoo College by scores of 40-38 and 36-25. The first game, between the "B" teams of the two schools, was a nip-and-tuck affair throughout , with the Hornets taking the lead from Hope in the second period and holding it until a final fourth quar te r rally gave the locals a close win. The second game, however, was clearly Hope's a f t e r they broke a 20-20 in the third period and continued to increase their lead until the final whistle. The

games were the second half of a

Dear Mom:

Well, you can put the sirvis flag

bak in the windo, it looks like I'll

be in the Army agin sune. It was sur grate wile it lasted, but 1 ges they were waiting for me befor they started the big invashun. 1 rilly hate to leeve Holland—becuz of my classes, of coarse. 1 will miss the juke box at the Model, all our wild sundaze in town, the friendly encouraffinR sound of the 1st Sar-gent 's voice, the gentel pat ter ot little feet when the bell rings to fall out, and the mad daHh to make the library by 7:00.

I rilly hate to ro now since 1 was jest promoted to a corpusle ( tha t ' s the highest rank you can go to and still have f r iends) .

'1 his new method of discipline rilly is working onedurz towards Keeping the fellows in line. Thumb screws are alrite but 1 think yewzin the iron maiden is a bit drast ik. >Von poor felo maid his bed with a 6l/4 inch fold instead of a 6 inch one, and wen they finally took him out of the stocks he just looked around and g a s p e d , "6I/4 — 1 meshured it," and ran screaming into the bayous.

Last nite while 1 was lyin on my bed trying to decide which way a dubble hyperboloid of two sheets was unravelled a piercing shreek rent the silence of the barrax. Everywon turned off there radios and rushed out into the hall. There lying on the follor beating his fists on t h e wall a n d groveling and writhing was a fello from the little room around the corner. Af te r we quieted him down and asked him what uccashuned his outburst he explained while sniffling on my sholder "You see for the last three nites I have been working on a crossward puzzel and 1 had it all finished exsept for a three letter word meaning an invertebrate rep-tile of the anthraxian familia which inhabits the sub s t ra ta of Mars. Tonite my roommate used it to dif-ferentiate his calculus." With these words he drew out a small nife and quietly disemboweled himself.

Last nite while my roommate and I were playing jacks the conver-sayshun as usual eventually turned to the subject of women. That 's a broad subject. I sed that the only way my roommate cud hav gotten that goil he was with last nite was by saving his red points. He just laffed and ripped off my left ear.

Well, I here the bewgull blowing so 1 hav to go now

WARM FRIENDS of Hope College

home-and-home series which began last week in Kalamazoo. The teams split then with Kalamazoo taking the first and Hope the second game by scores of 39-36 and 37-36 re-spectively.

High score honors for the Hope

team were divided equally between

forward Jim Gindler and center

Baker Gamble, who n e t t e d 16

points each. Bradney with four, Sinclair with two and Dravis and Kosequat with one p o i n t each rounded out Hope's scoring. High point man for Kazoo was r ight for-ward Hays who sacked a total of 15 points. He was followed by Kress and Eck with six each and Keyser with four. The scoring was more equally divided in the second tilt with Walt Hansen of Hope, a lanky six foot six center, leading with 10 points. Farrell , Dudia and Russell, scoring eight, seven and s i x respectively, accounted f o r most of the other Hope points. Center Roberts, with 9 points led for the Hornets, w i t h Fincham close behind with seven.

The games were closely con-tested and hard-fought throughout with two Kalamazoo men being benched for excessive fouls, and both teams seemed to be giving all they had. The Hope offensive, how-ever, proved better in both games when points were needed. In the first game, for example, Hope over-came an eight point third period deficit with some truly outstanding offensive play.
