School's Leaders Convene To Re-Evaluate Approaches

by Chuck Menning New and proposed changes, re-

evaluations, and emphases were the centers of discussion by the members of the administration and faculty and student leaders who met last Friday in an all-day m^school conference.

The opening devotions were led by Dr. D. Ivan Dykstra, chair-man et~the philosophy^depart-ment. Basing his remarks on a passage from Ephesians, Dykstra urged the audience to try to re-discover themselves by redis-covering the focus of their busi-ness. "We are Christians and our business is education," Dykstra stated.

Why then are we here, and what is the relationship between Christianity and education? Ac-cording to Dykstra, the idea that we are here to defend the view-point of tradition simply leads to relativism. He believes that the point of college is to protect and present one kind of Christianity rather than another. For exam-ple, such early schools as Yale and Harvard were established to make a cultured Christianity ra-ther than an uncultured Christ-ianity, thus rejecting the idea of piety-in-a-pocket, as a substitute for culture or as unrelated to culture. The founders of such early schools considered piety in close association with all areas of enterprise.

Nowhere but in liberal arts contexts is a meeting between God and culture likely to occur, Dykstra said. In such contexts we are led to see the fulness of life. "It is the full man who at his fullness discovers his empti-ness that is ready to know God. He comes to no alternative but God, other than futility and des-pair."

President Vander Werf was in-troduced to speak on "Chapel in the Objectives of the College." The President began by stating "I regard the President of the college as a servant. My goal, working with you as a servant, is to try always to provide a cli-mate that will permit mature self-fulfillment for the faculty and stedeiits." —-

institutions, which now comprise only one quarter of the 2100 col-leges in America, and many of which are ". . . only third or fourth rate colleges. If there is a future for the liberal arts col-lege, we must make up in quality what we lack in quantity."

Because the new emphasis on learning has brought a wave of paganism which equates intel-lectual knowledge with God, VanderWerf feels that at Hope

"Therefore,'' the President stated, "I will go to Chapel out of a personal need—a need to be

Chapel System Demands 40 Per Cent Attendance

Freshman Orientation Initiates New Hopeites

Last Saturday morning Hope College's new freshman class "" approximately 550 strong - be-gan arriving on Hope's campus. They were directed around cam-pus by APO members, who worked from their new blue in-formation booth. After three days of an extensive orientation program, members of the class of 1957 registered for their first semester of college classes.

Sunday afternoon a special Vesper Service was held in Dim-nent Memorial Chapel. The Rev. Allen B. Cook, college pastor, gave the meditation, "Consider God's Elective."

A banquet for new students was held in Phelps Hall on Sun-day evening. At the dinner David Mouw introduced the college's administration and faculty to the freshmen. College president. Dr. Calvin Vander Werf, spoke brief-ly, stressing the necessity for "maximum self-fulfillment" of everyone on the Hope Campus.

Monday the freshmen took placement tests and had group meetings with faculty advisors.

Student Senate sponsored a picnic at Kollen Park, a "New Student" mixer at the Holland Civic Center, Monday evening and Pete Paulsen, senior class

president, who planned the mix-er and acted as master of cere-monies, distributed traditional green beanies to new students.

The usual personality inven-tory tests, with the usual inter-mittent chuckles, were taken on Tuesday, when freshmen were also given tours through Van Zoeren library and the language lab in Graves Hall. In the eve-ning a formal faculty reception was held for all new students at President Vander Werfs home. Final selection of classes and f o r m a l registration occured Wednesday.

Under the direction of Dean of Students James Harvey, the freshman orientation program was planned with the help of spring Dave Mouw, Student Sen-ate president, appointed Bruce Neckers as orientation chairman to assist Dean Harvey. Also ap-pointed was James Hawkins, who had the responsibility of secur-ing the assistance of 73 student orientation advisors.

As a climax to informal ori-entation, upperclassmen will hold several student assistants. Last Kangaroo Court on Tuesday at 4:45 p.m. in the Pine Grove. At this time, wayward freshmen will meet their nemesis.

The unveiling of the 1963-64 chapel attendance regulations disclosed a "new" system which is essentially a hybrid of methods used in recent attempts to estab-lish a workable set of regula-tions.

The new regulations presented last Friday by Vice President John Hollenbach were the pro-duct of several meetings of the members of the Religious Life and Administrative Committees with President Calvin Vander Werf, plus the work of sub-com-mittees and individuals.

Under the new system chapel will continue to be held at 8:00 a.m. each weekday, with the Friday service designed to be more liturgical than the other four services.

However, the required number of attendances has in essence been lowered from the previous minimum of 70% of all services to a new 40% minimum. Students will be required to attend either a Monday-Wednesday or Tues-day-Thursday sequence. They may choose the sequence they prefer with the exception that a maximum of 800 students are al-lowed to sign up for either se-quence. Registration for the se-quences will take place on a first-come, first-served basis during class registration time.

Students, on the day of their sequence, will be seated in the main auditorium of the chapel. They will fill out chapel slips, handed to them by chapel ushers as they enter the chapel, and re-turned by the students at the close of the service.

Students are invited to attend chapel on days other than their required sequence, and the Fri-day services will be completely

Upperclassmen! '63 Yearbooks Here Today

Yearbooks for the 1962-63 school year will be made avail-able to the upperclassmen today, in Van Raalte, according to Mile-stone editors Jan Blom and Ruth Van Witzenberg.

Final preparations were made by the American Yearbook Com-pany during the summer, follow-ing several unforseen delays. Al-though the yearbooks will be arriving later this year than they have in past years, they will nonetheless contain the record of events of the entire school year, including such areas as spring sports and other spring activities which often must be omitted in order to meet early deadlines.

voluntary. The methods for counseling

and discipline for those students who have unexcused absences have also been set. According to the Administrative Committee report, "Like all requirements, the intent of this requirement can be defeated by an individual who refuses to open his mind to the possibility of being helped, through this king of group activ-ity, to grow in his faith and re-ligious perspective. In view of the importance that this college places on this kind of growth, the approach of requiring at-tendance is admittedly a very rudimentary step, considered necessary in view of "man as he is," and can be helpful only if followed up by chapel exercises of quality and by personal coun-seling with those who are re-jecting this opportunity."

After three unexcused absenc-es the student will receive a not-ice asking him to discuss the matter with his faculty advisor. After four unexcused absences the student will be called before the Chapel Board, which will include one administrator, one faculty member, and two stu-dents.

Originally the two student members of the board were to be selected by the Administrative Committee. However, at the sug-gestion of Mr. Cecil, professor of m u s i c and Arlene Arends, A.W.S. president, with the sup-port of President Vander Werf and David Mouw, Student Sen-ate President, it was decided that the two student members will be selected by the Student Senate and the Student Christian As-sociation.

According to the Administrat-ive Committee, the role of the Chapel Board will be "both coun-seling and discipline. The terms of disciplinary action will be de-cided after conference. At this point, action would be short of dismissal, but could involve make up of some kind. All ac-tions warning that violation of the conditions set up makes the student liable for dismissal. Par-ents are informed of the condi-tions established."

Students who violate the con- • ditions established for them by the Board are to be referred to the Office of the Dean of Stu-dents and are liable to dismissal.

Reactions to the new system have been varied. While those who have been advocating com-pletely voluntary chapel are still expressing the perennial dissatis-factions with required attend-ance, an apparently large num-ber of people feel that this is a step in the right direction.

v. President Vander Werfs Message Cites Hope for Individuality

NEW PRESIDENT—Hope's eighth president, Dr. Calvin Vander Werf, brings to His important position all the skill and dedication which his great responsibUities demand.

New President Brings Talent, Dedication b j Chuck Menning

Changes in administration per-sonnel occur occasionally, bring-ing the usual round of questions and debate about how well the new man will stack up and how beneficial his influence on cam-pus will be.

Few, if any, changes are as significant as the coming of a new president to the college, for few positions demand so much of a man or offer the opportun-ity for so much influence. So it is with real concern and interest that everyone of the Hope Col-lege community has been wait-ing for the chance to get ac-quainted with our eighth presi-dent, Dr. Calvin Vander Werf.

Those of U9 who have been fortunate enough to meet him have met a man whose talents, energy, devotion, and warm per-sonality promise to fulfill our hopes and expectations. We have met a man whom we would like to know better.

A native of Friesland, Wise., Dr. Vander Werf received his secondary education in Friesland, in Steen, Minn., and in Holland, Mich., graduating from Holland High School with an all-A av-erage. He entered Hope in 1933 and during his four years here compiled an outstanding record as freshman class president, Student Council President, editor of the anchor, president of the Fraters, member of the Blue Key and Milestone staff.

Vander Werf graduated from Hope in 1937 as valedictorian with an all-A average. He then entered Ohio State University where a distinguished record of studies led to a Ph.D. degree in 1941. In the fall of 1941 he joined the faculty of the Uni-versity of Kansas. By 1949 he had become a full professor and in 1960 he was chosen chairman of the K.U. chemistry depart-ment.

President Vander Werf is the author of three textbooks and over 100 publications and tech-nical papers in scientific and professional journals. In addi-tion, he is the consulting editor in organic chemistry and bio-chemistry for Reinhold Publish-ing Company.

The president has supervised research projects for the Re-search Corporation, the Office cf Naval Research, the American Petroleum Fund, and several laboratories. The Petroleum Fund recently awarded him an unso-licited and unrestricted $50,000 grant. However, due to his new duties, Vander Werf feels that he will probably be unable to make use of it, although he still intends to do some research dur-ing the summer months.

One area of research the president may find useful in his demanding position is his study in tranquilixing drugs.

Dr. Vander Werf has also been active in national scientific or-ganizations. He was named chair-man of the Division of Chemical Educational of the American Chemistry Society during the years 1953-55. As a visiting scientist for the National Science Foundation he has visited over 100 campuses.

Students may have seen the new president on television, as he has appeared as a lecturer on the educational program "Con-tinental Classroom."

Many awards and recognitions have been given to Dr. Vander Werf. He is listed in the Ameri-can Men of Science and in the Directory of American Scholars. In addition, he was chosen three times in 20 years as one of the 10 finest teachers on the Uni-versity of Kansas faculty. The vote is made by the alumni.

Athletics are also among Van-der Werf's varied interests. He was chairman of the K.U. Athlet-ic Board, and frequently traveled with varsity teams.

President Vander Werf is a strong defender of the liberal arts education. In an article ir* the Hope College Alumni Maga-zine, Vander Werf stated;

"Outstanding as the record of Hope's graduate science students may seem at first sight, it i« even more amazing when one considers the trend toward in-tellectual specialization rampant in most universities. Graduates of the larger universities who have majored in one science in-variably have many more credit hours in the sciences than do graduates of Hope. But accom-panying such specialization, there is a deplorable lack of study in

row field. We are thankful that, in fitting us for service, it has taken time to instill in us the motivating force which gives us the driving desire to serve; and that in preparing us to earn a living, it has not neglected to teach us the art of living."

In fact, one of the key phases constantly cropping up in Vander Werf's speeches and conversa-tion is "self-fulfillment," which he feels is best attained in liberal arts contexts.

Vander Werf is a man dedicat-ed to his work. Since his work right now conserns the guiding and unifying of Hope College, he is actively engaged in doing all he can to be of value to the college. In his own words, "I regard the president of the college as a servant." He has also stated that he is ". . . .dedi-cated to making Hope the finest liberal arts college, a task which will require the combined efforts of faculty, administration, stud-ents, community, church and alumni."

Since he feels that Hope Col-lege is above all the student body, Dr. Vander Werf is always in-terested in student opinions anl the communication of such ideas and opinions. According to the president, "I will look to Student Senate as a sounding board for student opinion. Senate should play a real role in interpreting student opinion to the faculty and administration and I am confidently expecting that it will. In addition, I expect to be hold-ing some student luncheons."

Such a man is Hope College's new president. He is an unpre-tentious man, capable of pro-jecting his warmth and sincerity

FIRST LADY: Mrs. Rachel Vander Werf, standing next to a pastel portrait of herself. The picture was done during the Aug-ust Village Square on campus by Danish artist Knut Hougard.

Dear Student:

I welcome you to Hope Col-lege. You have opened the door to a rich and profound learning adventure which can transform your life and your living for all time.

Some months ago the duPont Company featured a dramatic picture on the cover of its house magazine. One man, a research chemist, stood alone in the center of the scene. Behind him, row after row, were arrayed the people who support him in his research. There were technicians, laboratory assistants, supply and maintenance crews, mechanics, secretaries, librarians, file clerks, glassblowers, building engineers and health officers. All these stand behind the industrial re-search chemist to meet his every professional need. Yet, in the final analysis, the success in the quest for new knowledge is squarely up to him — it depends entirely upon his dedication, his ingenuity, his creativity, and his hard work.

And so it is with you. You are supported on every side by com-petent and consecrated persons. Your dedicated teachers of for-mer days, your encouraging min-ister and church school leaders, the inspiring faculty at Hope College with its master teachers, a friendly administration, knowl-edgeable librarians, a dedicated Board of Trustees, an efficient business staff, lively alumni of-ficers, diligent maintenance and residence hall workers, a sym-pathetic medical staff — all are willing and eager to go the second mile with you in your quest to become a whole person in body, mind and spirit.

You, each of you, is individual-ly important at Hope. You are at the top of the pyramid, you are the Keystone in the arch.

But again, the final analysis, what you carry from Hope Col-lege into life depends squarely upon you — your zeal for know-ledge, your thirst for truth and beauty, your consecration in th? eternal and the infinite.

I wish you Godspeed.

by Kathleen Verduin They're still teased about their

"Kansas accent," but the six children of Hope's new president. Dr. Calvin Vander Werf, have already settled into Holland's school system like long-time residents. "We're just glad we have a 'Van' on the front of our name around here," laughs Klas-ina, a tenth grader at Holland high.

Interviewed in the library of the president's mansion during Tuesday night's faculty recep-tion, the six Vander Werfs, Marte, 5 "and a half;" Pieter, 8; Lisa, 9; Julie, an eighth grad-er at E. E. Fell junior high; Klasina and brown-eyed Gret-chen, a senior at Holland high, were clustered around a table piled high with schoolbooks and plates of Slater cookies smuggled from the reception outside.

Pieter, who just celebrated his eighth birthday with the tradi-tional spanking at Lincoln school and a new Super - Magnet, showed himself king of the fam-ily ("You have it pretty easy with five sisters") and possessor of a wit many collegians might well envy. He has already checked out Phelps hall, even unto the third floor thereof ("I was wondering how girls look when they sleep. Especially the skinny ones.") and enterprising-ly plans to build a miniature golf course with his erector set.

"I want to be a builder NOW and a chemist LATER," ex-plained Pieter, whose leprechaun expression was decidely enhanced by a missing upper incisor. The way he impishly waggled his low-er one indicated that The Good Fairy would be on her way to the brick house on 10th street soon again. The Good Fairy, Pieter assumes happily, starts

with a quarter and moves up. Youngest daughter Marte is

in kindergarten at Lincoln and graced Anno Domini 1958 by being born on the first day of January. Supported between a chairback and a book shelf, she swung back and forth with the vigah befitting a president's daughter. "I'm going to be an ATHLETE!" she cried proudly. Pieter, grabbing one of her heels, prounounced, "Looks like athlete's foot."

Pretty, winsome Lisa, darker than her sisters, is learning to knit, and like any right-thinking young American girl, owns a Barbie doll and a Ken doll as well. She and Julie, the family's chief cake-baker, share Pieter's humor and are as ready with Elephant jokes as anybody. The reason cummings' favorite quad-ruped has slits between his toes, says Lisa, is naturally for hold-ing library cards.

Klasina and Gretchen, though they miss their former high school in Lawrence, Kan., now drive with a earful of students to Holland high every morning and are strong supports, with Gretchen treasurer of the Pep club. Klasina, named for an aunt, likes English and has the honor of being the favorite of family dog Tammy, a black collie pup who barks a lot, as Hopeites who have seen him whipping across the pine grove will testify, but has never yet bitten anyone.

Gretchen, dressed in a gay red and gold patchwork jumper, said she likes history, enjoys writing and plans to go on to college, although she is undecided as to which one. A real chemist's daughter, she says ruefully that she broke more collecting tubes than anyone in her chemistry class.

Women's Acting Dean, Mrs. Van Eenenaam,

Discusses Life Friendship with Hope

DEAN OF WOMEN—Mrs. Isla Van Eenenaam, new acting Dean of Women, lends grace and enthusiasm to her position as coun-selor for Hope's women students.

1964 Milestone Staff Calls for Personnel

by Susan Spring "This is quite a progression,

from a freshman girl — I won't say how many years ago — on Hope's campus, to being Dean of Women. I don't know if it can really be called a success story," laughed Mrs. Van Eenjenaam, newly appointed acting Dean of Women. <4I know that I'll enjoy my work because I enjoy young people."

Mrs. Van Eenenaam's work is continually involved with stud-ents. As successor to Dean Emma Reeverts, who retired last June to be at Berea College in Ken-tucky, "Mrs. Van" is in charge of Women's housing, acts as counselor to women, and advises the Associated Women Students board.

Along with her responsibilities in Gilmore Cottage, Mrs. Van remains head resident in Voor-hees Hall, as she has for the past three years. She is assisted this year by Miss Charlotte Hein-en, who is studying for her mast-ers degree in Religious Educa-tion at Western Theological Seminary.

Hope's Dean of Women well de-served to be declared queen of the campus (see 1924's "Most Popular Girl" on this page). She was constantly occupied with her music, performing as soloist with the symphony orchestra. Also, she participated in the dramatics group, was social editor of the anchor, publicity chairman for Milestone, and was active in her sorority and in music groups as well as studying for her lan-guage-history major. A friend remembers Isla Pruim Van Een-enaam as being "everybody's little darling — always kind and happy and very busy."

Rooming in Voorhees Hall with the girl who is now wife to Dr. Baker of the Education Depart-ment, Mrs. Van faced the same problem of small closets and rooms that the present Voorhees girl does. However, "we brought only a pair of bloomers for sports, a Sunday dress and a couple of everyday dresses. And we only had two feet and s(i we only needed two shoes! We ail have too many clothes today," Mrs. Van grinned in motherly remorse.

After graduation she worked as a supervisor of music and art in Zeeland School system for four years, then became the wife of Mr. Gordon F. Van Eenenaam. "We met the day that we were baptized," she reports. They grew up next door to each other in Zeeland.

Mr. Van Eenenaam practiced as a lawyer in Muskegon, with eight years in Lansing spent as state . Senator. Beside working with her husband in politics Mrs. Van Eenenaam served as presi-dent of the Muskegon YWCA, was on the Board of Church World Missions, and, as always, was involved in music organiza-tions in this area.

The Van Eenenaams' three children graduated from Hope in recent years. John is presently a lawyer in Muskegon as well as father of two little blonde heads often seen running around Voodhees lounge. David is spe-cializing in surgery at the Uni-versity of Michigan and Isla is

living with her husband in Germ-any where he is working as a medical doctor for the govern-ment. Mrs. Van spent last sum-mer traveling in Europe and visiting her daughter and son-in-law.

"I'm looking forward to a good year with the girls," Mrs. Van Eenenaam said, and then pen-sively continued:

"College life is an experience in l iving -as you know. But I

have three proven aids that will insure a successful lesson! A mentally healthy attude toward change (life with 1500 individuals is definitely not like home) — a consideration of others (I guarantee you will be f ree of self pity and will never be want-ing friends) and a desire, above all else, to be true to oneself — to possess a basic integrity. Try it! Never of you, then, need it be said, 'Oh, he has problems,' — and we Deans won't have any either."

While the 1963 Milestone staff finishes its job by distributing copies of last year's book, the staff for the 1964 yearbook is laying plans and carrying on preliminary work begun during the summer. Members of the editorial board who were chosen last spring are now gathering their staffs.

Editor Paul Hesselink invites all interested juniors, sopho-mores and freshmen to apply for a position with the 1964 Mile-stone. He said that there is much work to be done, and he welcomes all persons who feel that they can give a few hours a week to work on the book.

Norma Houtman, a 1963 grad-uate from Hope College as a violin major, has been awarded a full scholarship and appointed as one of four concert-masters by the Siegerland Symphony Orchestra of Hilchenbach, Germ-any, for the season 1963-64.

Eight Professors Join Hope Faculty Eight new professors have been

added to the Hope College faculty for the 1963-64 school year, ac-cording to Dr. William Vander Lugt, Dean of the college.

Charles Aschbrenner, a 1959 graduate of the University of Illinois, will be an instructor in piano and music theory in the Hope College music department.

Aschbrenner received his Mas-ter of Music degree from Yale University and has spent two summers at the Conservatoire A m e r i c a i n e , Fontainebleau, France.

Another new addition to the music department, Roger Davis, will be teaching organ and serv-ing as the college organist.

Davis received his Bachelor of Science degree from the Univer-sity of Akron, with-french horn, string bass and organ as his ma-jor instruments. In 1962 he re-ceived his Bachelor of Music de-gree at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music. Early this year he was granted a Master of Music degree from Northwestern University.

Davis has also extended his musical eyperience through his membership in the Akron Sym-phony Orchestra conducted by Robert Shaw and Louis Lane.

Ronald W. Beery, currently pursuing a Ph.D. program at Michigan State University, will assume teaching duties in the physics department.

Beery, a native of Plainwell, Mich., received his Bachelor of Science degree from Western Michigan University in 1957. Since this time he has obtained three years experience as an en-gineer at commercial and educa-tional broadcasting stations. He has also spent three summers do-ing instrumental work at the National Bureau of Standards in Washington, D.C.

Donald A. Clelland joins the Hope College faculty as a part time instructor in the sociology department.

Clelland, a native of Delaware and a 1958 graduate of Calvin College, did his graduate studies at Michigan State University and received his M.A. degree in 1960. Since then he has been serving as a graduate research assistant in the Michigan State University School of Labor and Industrial Relations.

A native of Holland, Paul Van Fassen, returns to teach in the Hope College biology department.

Van Fassen graduated from Hope in 1956. During his stay here he was a member of the Knickerbocker fraternity.

In 1962 Van Fassen received his M.S. degree from Michigan State University. He formerly taught in the biology department at Lake Forest College in Lake

Forest, Illinois. Another returning alumnus,

Edward E. Ericson, will teach in the English department.

Ericson graduated Summa Cum Laude and with Faculty Honors from Hope in 1961. He has since completed course work for a doctorate at the University of Arkansas, where he received his M.A. in 1962. While at the Uni-versity of Arkansas, Ericson served as a teaching graduate assistant.

Rev. David L. Clark will leave his post at Christ Church, Walt-ham, Mass., to teach history at Hope.

A native of Massachusetts, Clark received his B.A. degree from Yale University in 1954 and is at present a candidate for a degree of Doctor of Theology at the Harvard Divinity School. He^was a.Reaching Fellow in church-hfctory at the divinity school last year.

Herbert W. Hines is returning from a summer trip to Russia to conduct courses in the Russian Language at Hope.

Hines received his B.A. and M.A. degrees form Harvard Uni-versity, his Ph.D. from the Uni-versity of Chicago, and an honor-ary LL.D. degree from Westmin-ster College in Salt Lake City, Utah. He has also studied at the University of Berlin and Mar-burg.

Hines' 1963 summer trip to Russia was spent mostly in Si-beria and the cities of Tashkent and Samarkand. The trip was his third visit to the country. He has traveled abroad 12 times for cultural research purposes, with five visits to Latin America and one trip around the world.

The new professor of Russian is the former president of Rocky Mountain College in Billings, Mont, and was a professor of languages at Mornlngside College in Sioux City, la.

James Malcom, who will be an instructor of speech, comes to Hope with a B.A. degree from Wheaton College, a B.D. from Fuller Theological Seminary, and a S.T.M. from Union Theological

Seminary. For three years Mal-com studied acting with Lee Strasberg and Sanford Meisner in New York City. He has acted In commercials, television, and movies, both In New York and Hollywood.

Miss Delia Van Der Kolk, a Hope graduate and the former head of the English Department at Muskegon Junior College, Is returning to teach two fresh-man English courses.

Miss Van Der Kolk received her M.A. from Columbia In 1931. In 1951 she was chosen to be a Fulbright exchange teacher to the Netherlands, teaching at a school for girls In Amhem.

Senate Aims to Mirror Campus Views by David Mouw

Reflecting on last year's Stud-ent Government, we are forced to acknowledge both shortcom-ings and successes.

Certainly the greatest of the successes was the adoption by the student body of a new constitution.

This year's Senate will not be without shortcomings. However, what are the goals of Stenate for 1963-64?

First, the Student Government should represent the students' viewpoint in all issues which face the campus community. By means of resolutions, the elected Senate xepresentatives should direct this student viewpoint to the student-faculty committees, to the faculty, and to the adminis-tration. Should, for example, the majority of the representatives feel that Slater Food Service employees were underpaid (at $.80 per hour) a resolution should be directed to the college Treas-urer and the Slater Management explaining why the employees deserve a pay increase.

Such resolutions should repre-sent good judgement—they must be responsible. If they arc re-

sponsible, they need not limit themselves to the Interests of Hope College. As we gain ex-perience and ability, we should take part to some extent in the vast forum of American self-government: locally, and perhaps nationally.

Secondly, we should continue to make improvements on the projects that have traditionally fallen into the hands of the stud-ent government. I hope we have been able to make some improve-ments in orientation and fresh-men initiation. Similar and great-er improvements and innovations can be achieved with other Sen-ate projects such as Frosh-Soph weekend. Homecoming, Mom and

Dad's Day, and the All College Sing. Likewise, the Intellectual Affairs Committee will be spon-soring projects which ought to obtain increasing significance.

Thirdly, we must initiate new activities and abolish those which no longer serve our purposes. A government that does not change its areas of emphasis from year to year will, over a period of time, become ineffect-ive. New Senate projects will include the actual opening of the Juliana Room as a temporary Student Union, a free tutoring system for students experienc-ing problems in any course, and a court where students will judge fellow students.

Monsters Suggest Aspects of World

by Thomas Wombwell

(This is a review^ of an article by MARSHALL FISHWICK, Appearing in this week's "Satur-day Review," that suggests that aspects of our present world are as real as the demonic worlds of scicnce fiction.)

The twentieth century is faced with one of the most remarkable resurgences in human history— the resurgence of demons. This monster rally is being staged most notably in the relatively new genre called science fiction. A product of modern culture, this form of imaginative literature treats a situation that could not arise in the world we know, but which is hypothesized on the basis of scientific or technologi-cal innovation. According to Fishwick, it is pseudo-science or pseudo-technology and plainly smacks of the demonic. "Just as Satan tries to get around God, science fifction writers try to get around Einstein. They 'apply the space-wrap' or 'throw the ship into hyper-drive;' The ways of God give in to the ways of man. Here is hubris on an in-terstellar scale."

H. L. Gold has said that, "few things reveal so sharply as science fiction the wishes, hopes, fears, inner stresses, and ten-sions of an era, or define its limitations with such exactness." While this reviewer sees this position perhaps a bit exaggerat-ed, the fact that science fiction stories are read regularly by tens of thousands lends support to Fishwick's contention that they answer some deep psychic need.

Critics consider Ray Bradbury the most talented science fiction writer, but the question is posed whether he is hard at work draw-ing what Kingsley Amis termed Maps of Hell. And Fahrenheit 451, his most successful, novel, supplies the answer. The hero, Montag, is a fireman whose job is not to put out fires, but to start them in houses that have books. As the Fire Chief warns the citizens: "Authors, full of evil thoughts, lock up. your type-writers. . . . We must all be alike. Each man' the image of every other, then all are happy. A book is a loaded gun in the house next door. Burn it. Don't give men slippery stuff like philoso-

phy or sociology. That way lies melancholy."

In contrast to past Inquisitors and Fuhrers who had to depend on other human beings to under-stand and enforce their will, Montag's Monster Hound, that hunts down book-owners and oth-er heretics, wields a technologic-al vengeance from which it seems impossible to escape.

Fishwick credits not unpopluar ideologies abroad, but popular culture at home for making pos-sible the hellish Brave New World of Aldous Huxley. Free-dom has been outlawed. Nothing is left to choice or chance. Love, marriage, family life have dis-appeared. Sex and religion are interchangeable concepts. Soma produces beautiful visions; straw-berry soma takes the place of eucharistic wine. Soma, sex, and sports are the new Unholy Trin-ity of Huxley's new world. Even death has lost its terror. Men live in the Eternal Now.

Later, George Orwell showed other aspects of the hell-to-be in Nineteen Eighty-Four. Fish-wick points out that the most terrifying thing about this tale is that it invoked none of the stock science fiction gimmicks or super-inventions such as me-chanical hounds, mass operations, or space wraps. "Everything he suggested is feasible today, with our present technology."

The dull drab world he brings to life closely resembles that seen by Fishwick in Eastern Europe in 1962: "cowed people with tattered clothes, moving through a dingy world, afraid of their own shadows. The people of Hungary and Poland not only mirrored defeat — they also communicated the fact that they felt betrayed. To Western prom-ises of liberation they responded either with doubt of cynicism."

Back to Orwell's novel, and the world of Big Brother. The past is just a pawn in the hands of present policy: to change his-tory, the rulers destroy all old newspapers and replace them with fake new ones. The phrases and words that persist in men's minds are labled 'crimethink,' and are overshadowed by 'double-think,' which teaches that black is white, slavery is freedom, and war is peace. For recreation, the Proles at the bottom of the social system can gather together and sing the banal songs ground out

by the song-writing machines. Ridiculous, perhaps. And yet

Fishwick calls attention to the announcement that IBM has per-fected machines that can "com-pose original music" without human intervention. He also sug-gests that to devise another ma-chine to match words to these machine-made tunes seems not an impossible order.

Harboring seeds of discontent for the system, the story's hero, Winston, and his lover are dis-covered and arrested, and sub-sequently undergo long periods of re-education by physical and psychological torture. ("If this part of the story seems far-fetched, read some of the official reports of Chinese treatment of American prisoners of war dur-

NEW DORMS—With the construction of the new dormitory units, the members of the individual fraternities will have the oppor-tunity to live together and develop stronger organizational ties. Each dorm houses 50 men, and each frat was given the oppor-tunity to decorate its dorm acoording to the tastes of the mem-bers.

ing the Korean conflict.") The tug of war for two immortal souls is on, but in place of Mephistopheles we have Big Brother.

The Ministery of Love — Big Brother's name for his Inquis-itors "" takes over, and the tor-'mentor, O'Brien, explains the new "truth" to his victim: "What-ever the Party holds to be truth is truth. It is impossible to see reality except by looking through the eyes of the Party. That is the fact that you have got to relearn, Winston. It needs an act of self-destruction, an effort of the will. You must humble yourself before you can become sane."

And Fishwick's commentary is fitting: "Nothing Mephistopheles ever told Faust was more sinist-er or more ungodly than this. No punishment meted out by a •medieval Inquisitor was more diabolic than that which turned Winston into an un-man. No monsters that have roamed man's world and imagination have ever been more formidable than those which are here now."

It is with these monsters — the monsters of run-away tech-nology, of the denial of vital human values and concepts, and of mass control of the human processes — that the student of the times especially must come to terms. And how today's stud-ent comes to terms with these monsters will be reflected in the world in which the baby of 1963 will emerge into full man-hood in the year 1984.

The Dilettante

A Jigger of Wry by David Von Ins

FEATURES Columnists' Opinions

"Every September Hope ac-cepts a new crop of green Fresh-men. Four years later they file out in black. The intervening period of decay is called a college education."

It has become a custom for the anchor columnist to devote his first article to insulting the new frosh. Being a physical coward, I decided to begin with a column about Athenian pottery or, may-be the origin of the five-string banjo.

I was sitting in the Kletz breaking bread with the karate team when Wally De Witt came in. "How's the column coming?" he asked. "The Muse sleeps with-in me," I said simply. "A cup of coffee might revive her," he of-fered.

While we drank our coffee, he told me this wild story:

"Standing behind Graves Hall today, I was talking to a pretty young freshman girl. We were discussing a "La Dolce Vita" type party for this week-end. As we

talked, I noticed two handsome freshmen watching us. At length our business was concluded, and she departed for class. I turned my thoughts and paces toward the bridge game in the smoker, when the two Frosh approached me.

"Excuse me. sir," said a six foot version of Apollo. He and his suave-looking friend intro-duced themselves. I volunteered my last name, and bummed a pack of cigarettes.

"You're an upper-classman, aren't you, sir," said Apollo.

"A Junior," I confided. "We're in luck," said Suave.

"Our brother class!" "Don't be morbid," I said, and

blew a few smoke rings in the twenty-miles-an-hour wind.

"Mr. DeWitt," said Suave, "we have a question for you."

"Buy me a cup of coffee and I'll be glad to talk to you," I said magnanimously.

They insisted on treating me at Bunte's (easily the most lavish place in town.) I was halfway through my coffee when Apollo

said, "We were watching you with that girl. She's very pretty. Perhaps you could tell us how to date such girls."

I hesitated a moment. They quickly ordered a steak sand-wich for me.

"Well, fellows," I confided, "the main thing is to be an in-dividual. Be loud and obnoxious in public places. Wear the same sweatshirt everyday. When you ask a girl for a date, make her pay her half. Avoid deodorants and swear a lot. The girls will admire you for being different and will take an interest in you."

"Are you sure?" asked Suave. "Look at Marlon Brando," I

offered. "$•?!! he's right," yelled Apolo. "Yeah. Let's go," thundered

Suave. They ran up the street scream,

ing obscenities. "That was a dirty trick, De

Witt," I said. "I guess it was, Dave," he said,

"but the Freshman men out-number the frosh women sixty to forty."

Pre-school Conference (Continued from Page 1)

reminded that I am a sinner in need of the redeeming grace of Christ, to be reminded that God is truth and that he who seeks truth will not leave God, to be free from intellectual pietism, and to receive personal sustin-ence and renewal.

"The chapel service, to me, is an intergal part of the way of life of Hope College. Your reasons for going to chapel may be dif-ferent, but if you will examine yourself, you will find reasons—

significant reasons, compelling reasons."

Vice President John Hollen-bach then rose to introduce the new chapel system.

A proposed school calendar change was the center of discus-sion for the remainder of the morning. The new calendar would begin the fall semester around Labor Day and end the first semester before Christmas. After a three week vacation, school would begin aound the

second week in January and end the first week in May. No spring vacation would be provided.

"General Areas of Counseling" was the topic discussed at the aft-ernoon session. Following the speech. Dr. Harvey, Dean of Stu-dents, cited as examples of new changes at Hope College rele-vant to counseling the fraternity dorms with faculty residents to stimulate learning and the re-organized Student Senate with expanded responsibilities.

Rather, on Thursday, Sept. 19, a calm and informal Open House will be held in the Little Theatre (4th floor Science Building) from 7 to 10:30 p.m.

Live entertainment every 15 minutes, light refreshments, the opportunity to meet the staff members, old friends and new acquaintances will be provided in a newly painted and, because of the first show, most decidedly French atmosphere.

The entire campus community is invited to attend.

Weekend Weather

The weather this weekend will continue to be generally cooler with possible frost. The skies are likely to be partly cloudy to com-pletely overcast.

Opportunities and Responsibilities

During the summer most of us have prob-ably viewed the coming year with a certain sense of resolution.

The cycle is almost always the same. We finish the school year each spring with a sigh of relief that all the drudgery is finally over for at least three months. We reflect on how we had to struggle and cram at the end of the year to catch up on all the things we let go until later because we had better, more im-mediate things to do. We realize that for the most part we managed to do just about—al-most—as well as we usually do, and we de-cide that next year will be different. Next year will be the year.

For each of us these plans for the new year—whether consciously considered and mapped out or simply part of the summer's daydreams—have been expressed in personal contexts. For some this is to be the year for disciplined study to make the best the capac-ities never fully explored. For some the new year's plans mean having the courage to date the cool girl they watched but never dared— or had the time or chance—to ask out. For others it means not dating the guy or girl they never got around to telling just what the situation really was. For some athletes the plans are for making the varsity team or compiling a record really worth being proud of. For some campus leaders the new year means resolutions of really doing something on campus—of destroying apathy and stimu-lating everyone to active interest in concrete action for this or that cause.

But now the new school year is here, ushered in by today's full day of classes. Once again we are faced with a clean slate, a new clean page of time on which the truth of our history will be written.

We are faced by the choice between a degree of opportunity to write our own his-tory by the plans we have envisioned this summer or simply allowing the circumstances of our day-to-day existence to determine the easiest path to follow. We are faced with the choice between making reality out of our summer plans or simply yielding to winter's boredom and spring's delicious laziness. We are faced with the choice between acting or simply reacting.

In this new school year we are all con-fronted by both a wealth of opportunities and the responsibilities necessarily attendant to such opportunities.

Student Senate has the opportunity to

establish true, mature student self-govern-ment, to act as a conscientious medium for the expression of student opinion, to provide channels by which concrete action can be tak-en for bettering student conditions on campus. At the same time the Senate bears the re-sponsibility for doing what it says it will do and for making the reasons for its existence meaningful and necessary. A Student Senate established only for the psychological crutch of the illusion of self-government has in the long run no reason for existing at all.

The newly organized Senate with a new constitution, new judiciary, new committees and new areas of responsibility gives promise of making this the year for real improvement. As students we have the responsibility of sup-porting and participating in Student Senate, for Senate is made up of students whom we :hose from our ranks to represent our desires and opinions.

Student Christian Association and chapel committees have the opportunity to make the religious activities of our campus community meaningful and integral parts of student life. Most of us have grown up on the Christian tradition and heritage. The new year offers us, as young adults, the chance to rediscover and re-evaluate our faith and to establish our own Christian convictions. We are faced in turn with the responsibility of living up to the implications of our faith and convictions.

And so it goes. The fraternities and sor-orities have the opportunity of using their organizations for the benefit of the campus and have in turn the responsibility of mature, unselfish action. Dorm governing bodies have the opportunity of making th living situation an enjoyable and valuable education in learn-ing to live in a compatible society. In turn they have the responsibility of knowing the real needs of the students and the contexts and methods of mature activity. I as editor of the anchor have the opportunity of produc-ing a valuable medium for communication and the responsibility of objective thought and thorough organization.

Finally, each of us has the opportunity to observe in the person of our new president of the college a man who has demonstrated the desire, dedication, and discipline to make real-ity out of plans. We are in turn faced with the responsibility of cooperating with Dr. Vander Werf to make Hope College an even better institution. —C.M.

Coach DeVette's Outlook Optimistic

As MI A A Football Season Nears

Flying Dutchmen Battle

Ashland College Tomorrow

by Ron Mulder

"Reserved optimism" is Coach Russ DeVette's outlook as he tries to prime his Hope College Flying Dutchmen for an all-out run at the MIAA football title.

To be sure the loss of such staunch p e r f o r m e r s as Jon Schoon, Jim Wiegterink, Jim Bultman, Don Mitchell, Paul Hyink, and Kurt Van Genderen will be initially felt. Hope's big-gest problem at the present time is finding capable personnel to man the tackle posts. There are four tackles ineligible and the two prospective starters, John Nor-ton and John Stam, are not suit-ed up.

by Ron Mulder Hope College opens its 1963

football season tomorrow night at Ashland College of Ohio at 8:00. This will be the second meeting between the two schools, and Ashland will be out to avenge last year's opening game set-back to the Flying Dutchmen.

Ashland College is a liberal arts school with an enrollment of about 900. Athletically, the college belongs to the Mid-Ohio Conference. Last year the Eagles finished in a three-way tie for first place in the conference with a 2-1 record. Over all Ashland finished with a 4-4-1 record.

The game will mark the open-ing of the new Ashland Commun-ity Stadium, which has an excel-lent turf, is well lighted, and seats 3,500 spectators. Last year Ashland played its home games at the 1,800 seat Redwood Stadium.

The Ashland College football team has been going through rugged two-a-day practice ses-

sions since August 30. According to head football coach Fred Martinelli, the team is young and inexperienced. Most boys have seen v little or no . actual game competition. Coach Martinelli re-ports that his main problem is finding players to adequately man the guard posts. Two guards were injured in pradtice, one transferred and another signed a pro-baseball contract.

Co-captains Dave Hakaim, Gene Danner and Mike Hanna are expected to lead the ball club. All three are linemen. Quarterback Dick Geitgey and fullback Morris Gullion are the Eagles' main offensive threats. They will be ably supported by halfbacks Don Plant and Gene French.

Coach Martinelli feels that Saturday's game will be a close and exciting one. He regards it as a test game for his players, but hopes to have a few surprises ready for the Hope College Fly-ing Dutchmen.

Ron Venhuizen Honored As NCAA Ail-American

There is no doubt Hope Col-lege has a right to be proud of Ron Venhuizen. Ron was select-ed as first string outfielder on the NCAA college All-American team. This past June Coach Dar-ryl Siedentop forwarded Ron's name to the NCAA district se-lection committee for considera-tion. Upon being acclaimed by the district commitee Ron's name was sent to the NCAA national committee which wholeheartedly agreed that Ron's performance on the baseball diamond warrant-ed him a position on the NCAA All-American team.

Ron definitely has the cre-dentials to be an All-Americar. He has been a baseball giant on the Hope team for the past three seasons. Last year Ron hit .379 overall and led the MIAA with a fantastic .404 average. He led his team in home runs and runs-batted-in. In addition he was a unanimous All-MIAA selection.

A senior this year, Ron is majoring in history and is plan-ning to teach and coach upon his graduation in June. Later he plans on furthering his edu-

cation. He is also a member of Phi Kappa Alpha fraternity and is a resident advisor at Dosker Cottage for men here on

campus.

NCAA ALL-AMERICAN— Ron Venhuizen displays the form which helped him to win a place on the small college All-American base-ball team.

The 1963 Hope College football team is rather small, but there are numerous reasons for the optimistic yet guarded viewpoint of the cheerful DeVette. Max Schipper and Ralph Jackson at the tackles, guards Jim Van Dam and Paul Bast, and Center Fred Van Tatenhove present a form-idable interior line. Offensively Hope's attack should be versatile and devastating. The backfield of Bob Schantz at quarterback. Bill Keur and Chuck Veurink at the halfback posts, and Tom De-Kuiper at fullback compose a quartet of topflight ball carriers. Schantz and Harlin Hyink, best passer on the squad, will divide the passing chores. With such capable receivers as glue-fing-ered ends Joe Kusak and Bill Hultgren, passing should be a potent weapon in Hope's offens-ive arsenal. Veterans Ken Post-ma, Captain Ken Quakkelaar, Tom Cousineau and Jim Bekker-ing are counted on as first line

replacements should any of the regulars falter or sustain an injury.

Coach De Vette is also cheered by the eye-catching performanc-es of several newcomers. The most impressive freshman is Charley Langlon, a 190 pound battering fullback from North Muskegon. Charley figures prom-inently in De Vette's plans and will see plenty of action. Tackle Carl Van Wyck from Kalamazoo, guard Adrain Slikkers from South Haven, end Randy Meul-man from Portage and center J*im Ehrlich from Ridgewood, N. J., promise to bolster the Dutch line.

The Dutch open their gridiron season tomorrow at Ashland College in Ashland, Ohio. De Vette is hoping for a victory as a start towards improving last year's 3-6 record. The team will fly from Grand Rapids tomorrow morning and return tomorrow night.
