Honor Code Committee To Be Enlarged

Remember one of the most controversial subjects on campus last spring, the proposed honor code?

Well, the topic has not been forgotten — at least not by chairman Reuben Kamper and his honor code committee who are diligently working toward the establishment of an honor code on Hope's campus.

The task presently being un-dertaken by the committee is the enlargement of its member-ship.

The enlarged committee will include representatives of the town students and from each of the women's cottages, dormi-tories, and fraternity houses.

The honor code, which was proposed last spring, was in-tended to be a focal point from which to work. Now the task of the committee members will be to discuss this code and other relevant ideas with the groups they represent.

Their purpose is to educate, in an attempt to instill in the student body, a real desire to employ honesty and integrity, not only in their academic work, but in every situation.

The purpose of a written hon-or code would not be to en-force honesty, for that is ob-viously impossible, but to serve as a guiding principle upon

which the individual may de-pend to answer any questions he may have in his own mind as to what is truly honest.

Believing firmly in the basic honesty and integrity of the students of a Christian college such as Hope, the honor code committee aims at the attain-ment of this goal — a prevail-ing spirit of honesty and in-tegrity on our campus.

Editorial

Sonny, Open Your Mouth What did you say you want . . . a liberal education ?

Just a moment, I'll look in the recipe book . . . That would be three teaspoons of speech per week, and the same amount ofEnglish, history and a science, plus four teaspoons of a language . . . No! No! You don't serve yourself; you will be served. Then you will get just the right measure, taken from just the right place. You watch the server and learn how; then some day perhaps you can dip in yourself. In fact, there are a few radicals here who encourage this. Generally this is untrue. Oh, don't look discouraged. Everyone loves to be served; all you have to do is open your mouth when your turn comes and swallow.

Besides the academic pots we have the religious cake. Yes, that's the one, that great big one down in the corner . . . Why of course it always follows the same recipe. That satisfies the majority.

See the people haggling over there? They are per-fecting the honor pill . . . Just the color that is, they aren't worried about the formula. They don't know whether to make it light grey or dull grey. . . . You say blue is appropriate? Oh no! Well, good bye young man, good luck with your liberal education.

Let's Stop This Female Invasion It hurts me to begin my first

article of the new school year with a few words of censure.

Yet, we were not prepared. We d i d n ' t k n o w , and those of u s w h o d i d know, didn't t h i n k . N o one, you see r e a l l y be-lieved it. Af-ter all, girls

in the Hope smoking lounge . . . ? Impossible!

Unfortunately, the prophets were correct, m u c h to our chagrin. So often t h e y are wrong.

The very first day of school, I walked into the smoking room and was met by the awesome sight of some thirty girls, sit-ting in our chairs, leaning their pretty elbows on our tables, and smoking the brands we hated most.

JThat was I to do? Because of

the shock, I beat a retreat and tried

to find the first student council of-

ficial I could, to register my pro-

test. Certainly, the sexes are equal,

the women have made sure of that,

but this . . . ?'

The student council, it turned out, was powerless, so I took my coffee outside and sat on the back steps of Van Raalte Hall voicing my discontent until it

New Chapel Responsibilities Discussed Fellow Students:

You have received a letter concerning chapel attendance, which carried in it many impli-cations such as moving the re-sponsibility of 70% attendance from the ticket machines to our calendars.

The fact of the matter is that we as students have an oppor-tunity which we have never had before. We have been trying for many years to remove the monitors and the ticket ma-chines from the chapel so that we could worship as we want without enforcement. The op-portunity is now here; all we have to do is make use of it.

Rev. Cook, our new pastor, will be holding many discus-sions concerning, this matter. The outcome will be entirely de-cided by students. Continue to

think about this and we hope that each of you will have an opportunity to discuss it.

If this continues to be suc-cessful we are sure that we will never see monitors and ticket machines in the chapel again.

However, if it is a failure and the chapel leaders have no one to speak to, then we are sure the administration will devise some method to take roll. We would not like to see this hap-pen.

This is a great step toward student self-discipline which our campus needs. It is a challenge to the chapel committee to have worthwhile services and it is a challenge to us as students to use wisely the greatest oppor-tunity we have had in a long time. . .

Letter to Edinburgh

Looking Back On A Year Away From Hope September 30, 1960

Greetings from Holland, Michi-gan!

I've returned to Hope Col-lege "in that dear ol' town by the inland sea." H o p e has changed in the year I was gone. I am living in a new women's dormitory — a very modern building housing 160 women.

The college is growing rap-idly and every day I am greeted by many new faces. This is our frosh orientation week — that very important time when it is the responsibility of every up-perclassman to acquaint t h e freshmen with the rigors of col-lege life.

How well I remember my or-ientation to Edinburgh and the anticipation I experienced be-fore coming.

I still have the letter I re-ceived from the University of Edinburgh entitled "General In-formation for American Stu-dents Attending Edinburgh Uni-versity". I have to chuckle every time I read the selection labelled "Clothing" which states, "The good old S c o t t i s h w o r d 'glamour' may not apply to woollen underwear, but it is suggested that wool, or a wool and nylon mixture is appropri-ate to the climate both indoors and outdoors in Scotland."

I — who can't stand anything itchy! And what a climate you have. No wonder everyone t a l k s about it. From personal ex-perience I can now under-stand what prompted Stev-enson to say of his native

c i t y , "Edinburgh p a y s cruelly for her high seat in one of the vilest climates under heaven." Oh, there were many fine

sisters are. How bold the spin-sters thought Dee and I were when after a general meeting of the six boarders (2 Scottish lassies, an English gal and a

days — in the fall and summer. gi rl f y o m Rhodesia) we^ re-But what a winter!!

1 knew that about 1% of the Edinburgh houses have central heating, these not being the houses which let accommodations to students; but I never realized the • problem this could cause until that East wind made me huddle in front of the open fire-place.

As I am an expert on the subject, I am now working on a

quested a little more milk in order to float our cornflakes.

And remember the bottle in-cident! What a riot that was. Our landladies wouldn't allow us to have any sort of decora-tions on our walls, so we started a bottle collection to give the place a little life and interest.

I never expected to be on the receiving end of a temperance lecture just for having a few

ered wine bottles on the mantle piece.

And the food they used to cook up! It's a funny thing, but brussel sprouts grow on you

How I wish that you could after you eat them for awhile, come to visit here for some time! You would be surprised to discover that the amount of electricity we use is not checked upon and that we may have as many baths or showers as we please.

Well do I recall that long wait from week to week that Dee and I endured for that precious bath night. The situation i m p r o v ed when we found a way to get two a week by using only Vi the tank on each of our nights. You know, I don't think our landladies ever caught on. S p e a k i n g of landladies, I

Sort of like olives, I guess.

Somehow, though, I could never get very f o n d of mashed turnip or steak and kidney pie. It's strange, that whenever I went out to eat I enjoyed the meals — especially roast lamb, mint sauce, and Yorkshire pud-ding. My own conclusion, which was

not difficult to come to, was that our landladies never mas-tered the culinary art. The food here in the dorm isn't too bad; occasionally we get a dilly menu, but one does have to wait in order to be served.

1 am happy here at Hope, but wonder how the McCullough there are so many places, things

and people I miss. How I used to love to walk along Princess Street observing the people, in-cluding the men in kilts (by the way, I know the secret), and the beautiful park surrounding the castle rock which is crowned by the impenetrable old fortress.

Its age will never cease to amaze me. To think that Mar-garet, who was responsible for bringing the Roman form of Christianity to Scotland, the wife of Malcolm, son of Duncan who was murdered by MacBeth in 1039, worshipped in the tiny Norman chapel that still stands today!

I could rave on about the beauties of Edinburgh with its historic Royal mile on which stands the home of John Knox and the imposing Gothic ca-thedral, St. G i l e s ; Arthur's Seat; the extinct volcano now made into a park in the center to town; and the palace of Holyrood, residence of the royal family when visiting Scotland's romantic capital.

Scott's words of description are far superior to any of my own:

"Such dusky grandeur clothed the height

Where the huge castle holds its state.

And all the steep slope down. Where ridgy back heaves

to the sky Piled deep and massy, close

and high Mine own romantic town."

- Sincerely, Em Hradec

started to rain. Then I went home with a fever.

My reaction was typical. Had we

known, we could have organized.

But it was done behind our backs.

Now we must bear the bitter fruits

of never again formulating world

policy, except in our rooms; never

again being able to advise the fac-

ulty on how to teach; never again

being able to tell a joke, without

lowering our heads and whispering.

But we asked for it. We s c r e a m e d for equality; we formed lobbies; and now . . . ? But we are not powerless.

It is not too late to organize. Through discussions with other men which sometimes lasted well into the night, I have been able to formulate a policy of systematic needling which, if we win, will restore the smok-ing room to its rightful owners, and, if we lose will destroy our world. I will list them here so you may copy them down and burn them into your minds.

1. Always enter the smoking room without cigarettes, so that you can ask the girls for one. Sooner or later they will run out and then we can move in. Once we're in and in sole possession we can keep them out at gun-point, if necessary.

2. Be clumsy and somewhat ill-mannered. Falling over a friend's extended feet and landing judiciously on a table at which girls are sitting so that you spill their coffee is admirable strategy. W h i l e they're getting new cups, you can signal to friends who have been waiting outside for just such an opportunity and be comfortably seated, when the girls return.

3. Get into vehement argu-ments with the girls at your table. Be sure to argue logically, however, or you will lose. Logical arguments are the enemies of most women. Be certain to have at your command a shatter-ing array of facts. If you run out, make s o m e up. Women hate to lose an ar-gument.

4. Be boisterous. Sing German drinking songs. Contact me for song-books.

5. Discuss at some length the women suffrage movement and do not be afraid to criti-cize it. If the girls try to defend it, do not reply. Ig-nore them and keep talking. Act as though they aren't there.

6. Smoke the foulest brand of cigarette or pipe tobacco on the market and be sure to empty your pipes when the tobacco is only half con-sumed. This will cause the remainder of the tobacco to smolder interminably a n d fill the room with a dense haze of poison. Rolling your o w n cigarettes is recom-mended. It looks horrible.

This, I realize, is only the be-ginning. But be original. Think up new attacks. If we stick to-gether, we can win. And, as I heard one bitter senior grumble, "You know. I don't mind that they smoke, they have as much right as we do, but, why, tell me why, must they smoke in our room?"

Remember, you have nothing to lose but your smoking room! If they start a counter-attack we're finished.

Y's Words

Kollen Park Scene Of Frosh Party

The Hope College Y organiza-tion got off to a good start with the Freshmen Party held on September 13 at Kollen Park. This event gave the Freshmen a chance to get acquainted with each other as well as with the local Y officers and committee chairmen.

Games, mixers, and a picnic supper contributed to the in-formal atmosphere as did Clark Matthews and Bruce Hoffman with their jokes and group sing-ing. Joanne TenHaken pre-sented a serious paper and Gor-don Stegink told briefly about the content of the Y organiza-tion.

Another annual event for all students, the Y Banquet, was held Tuesday, September 27. At this time Dr. Lubbers spoke on "The Responsibilities of the Christian Student on Campus".

The Y would like to take this opportunity to welcome the new Y sponsor, the Rev. Allen B. Cook, who is also the director of Kollen Hall and the college chaplain.

Fifty To Receive Bids Today

T&day is the day! — a day awaited anxiously and appre-hensively by fifty of the girls on Hopue's campus, both trans-fer students and upper class-men. Today the five sororities hand out bids to the girls they want in the culmination of the fall rushing program.

The Pan-Hellenic Board has organized this fall program as a continuation of the spring rushing program. Because the sororities do not fill all their openings at the first rushing, these places are made available to transfers and to upper class-men.

Major eligibility requirements remains the same with a "C" average.

The first teas were held last Saturday. Each rushee was re-quired to go to all five of the formal teas in order to better pick the sorority she wants. Then on Wednesday night, final or preference teas were held. The rushee attended one or pos-sibly two of these final teas. Following this the sororities had their bidding meetings, and bids were sent out this morning.

Pledges will have an informal initiation and a formal cere-mony; the new sorority mem-bers will be participating in Homecoming activities.

Bruins Opens First Council Meeting September 20, 1960

Silence prevailed in room 103 of Van Raalte at 7:10 P.M. when Cal Bruins called the first Student Council meeting of this year to order. The quietness was soon interrupted by indi-vidual grunts of "Here" as the roll was taken. Each member listened intently to the secre-tary's report of May 24, 1960. The report was approved, but only after two mistakes h a d been corrected.

. The president slowly, and in a dignified manner rose to his feet, as his chair squeaked. With a stem facial expression and with his hand in his pocket, Cal announced the order of the com-mittee reports to be given. Cal then told us of a very serious and pressing problem — that of deciding when and where to hold our Student Council meetings!

As the president resumed his s e a t , t h e vice president re-mained in her's as she en-couraged each of the members to sign his name on the paper being passed around in order to pledge that he will sit one hour in the Student Council of-fice to receive suggestions from helpful students and to give ad-vice to confused ones.

A change! Rog Achterhof, as co-chairman o f Homecoming, revealed that there will be NO VESPERS this year on October 16. What? ? ? Instead we will have a Senior-Alumni recital. Sounds interesting!

Don't go to Riverview Park to watch the Coronation and Pep Rally or you'll have a long wait.

Instead, head for Kollen Park and see the queen crowned un-der the lights of the bandstand.

Rueben Kamper enlightened us as to what has happened to the honor system that his com-mittee so diligently worked on last year. The idea of an honor system was presented to the faculty at a pre-school con-ference where some favorable opinions were aroused. But dis-

Geneva Conference Opens (Con't from Page 1)

Listed are the main events of a truly enlightening weekend. If students have not registered for meals and lodging, t h e y may feel free to come and take part in any of the events listed. Everyone is more than wel-come.

Discussions will be conducted by faculty and administration members on the sub-topics, "Is Hope College a college for Small Christians?", " Y o u r personal relationship to your God", and "Your God and your Goal".

As students and faculty, all have an excellent opportunity to spend a weekend of the highest Christian experience. (Come and share your own views — listen as others express theirs — de-velop understanding one with another — and, above all, be-come closer to God.)

Camp Geneva is located on Lake Michigan about 6 miles West and North of Holland. We will look forward to seeing you all there.

"The Waiting Game" By Justine Ann Dakin

Although the drama of the national campaign was demoted to second place on the front pages of the nations newspapers last week as a result of focusing news on Khrushchev, Castro, African leaders and President Eisenhower at the U.N., the presidential campaign was still being carried on at a fast tempo by Senator Kennedy and Vice-President Nixon.

While Castro's antics and Krushchev's bear hugging may have provided more sensational and eye-catching news, the candidates were trying to play the UN meeting by ear.

By now the American population and unquestionably the can-didates realize that this is a campaign to be decided on issues rather than personalities.

Neither Nixon nor Kennedy campaign with the same aplomb and overriding confidence that Mr. Eisenhower and the Republican party was able to do in 1952 and '56, for it is the realization of both parties that neither of this year's candidates possess the overwhelming popularity of our present president.

So many complex factors enter into the election this year, that few columnists or even poll takers dare to predict anything but trends.

Both candidates are received well everywhere, and despite at-tempts of certain Protestants to make religion the deciding issue in the campaign, Kennedy, by meeting this unfortunate situation directly rather than ignoring it as did A1 Smith in 1928, is gain-ing respect and perhaps even winning votes from voters sitting on the fence.

The religious issue is a handicap for Richard Nixon too. If Kennedy's Catholocism remains prominent in the campaign, Nixon is sure to lose the votes of many Catholic Republicans who will vote for Kennedy in an attempt to settle the issue of a Catholic executive in the White House.

Also, many Jewish votes might support Kennedy as ac-knowledgment of sympathy for the persecutions the Senator is receiving from bigoted persons of our nation.

Both candidates realize that they will best be able to win votes if they can convince the people to vote for them on the basis of what each is offering to the nation in terms of leadership for the next four years.

Nixon, representing the minority party, is asking the people not to vote the party line, but to consider both men in terms of experience and proven leadership. He invaribly throws in the line in every speech that "I know Krushchev . . . and the crowds love it.

He hits the opposition by deriding them for leading the public into thinking that we are a second rate nation. Indeed, he main-tains that the Eisenhower administration have preserved the peace and* also prosperity

While Senator Kennedy has said that what is good for labor is good for America, Mr. Nixon has retorted that a President must be a representative of all the people in this country and not just one segment of the population.

Although the farm issue was forecast to be a major issue in the campaign, the people in the farm belt have thus far shown restlessness and boredom when Nixon's speeches veered from the topic of foreign affairs. This is seemingly the best selling point and happily so for the Republicans, who have intended it to be that way.

The United States in the eyes of Senator Kennedy is in a period of rapid decline both at h o m e a n d a b r o a d . He tells us that our economic growth is advancing too slowly and that there is no reason why our rate cannot be increased especially if the Democats are leading the country.

Kennedy sees the prestige and power of the United States slowly ebbing as a result of the blunders of eight years of Re-publican stagnation in the field of foreign affairs.

Today is the time for bigger government, more spending and sacrifice on the part of the American people, and Mr. Kennedy asks the voter to journey with him in this noble purpose of sacrificing to keep America great and to restore its preeminence in global affairs.

The United States has a rosy future according to Jack Ken-nedy — IF — and only IF we elect the Democratic party to exe-cutive and legislative power for the years ahead. Kennedy asserts that he will stand up to Khrushchev. Appeasement will not be the policy of a Democratic administration.

Therefore, although there are many domestic issues of sig-nificance the electorate is most concerned about the U.S. position of leadership in the world.

Hope Eleven Split Non-League Encounters

In the first contest of the year at Riverview Park, two weeks ago, the Flying Dutchmen, paced by the run-ning of Sherwood VandeWoude, and Ken V i s s e r, a potential Freshman starter from Hudsonville, defeated DePauw University 21 to 10.

The First Hope score of the year resulted from a 20 yard pass play from quarter-back Paul Mack to Sophomore end Jon Schoon. Mack split the uprights for the first of his three conversions that evening, giving the home squad a 7-0 lead.

DePauw's young coach Tom-my Mont decided to go to the air with quarterback Ed Meyer, starting a drive which was cli-maxed by half-back Dan Blunt's score. Tommy Mont's decision to gamble seemingly paid off, as a short pass from Jim Menig-han to Ed Skeeters provided two extra points, and a lead which held until halftime.

The Orange and Blue bounced back from this 8-7 deficit in the third quarter however, capital-izing on a fumble, to score when Ken Visser r o m p e d through tackle for sixteen yards to score standing up.

Sherwood VandeWoude cli-maxed another Hope drive with a four yard plunge to paydirt, giving the Dutchmen a 21-8 margin with only six minutes remaining.

DePauw threatened to score once again in the closing min-utes, but were stopped by Hope defenders only a yard from the goal. Steve Slagh, attempting to run the ball out of the end zone to safer g r o u n d was trapped behind the line by De Pauw tackle Jim Gladden, giv-ing DePauw two points for the touchback, and bringing t h e final score to 21-10.

Coach Russ DeVette's smaller but very able contingent of two) but Ohio Northern athletes have been enjoying 2-a-day practice sessions ever since August 21 st, not to mention a Hillsdalian-type spring practice session.

This is by no means an ex-planation for Hope's 15-7 loss to the school, which also pro-vides fine competition in other sports, but rather a suggestion to Hope supporters that any pessimism at this point would be quite premature, and that more football of the quality played against DePauw can be expected in the weeks to come.

MIAA Season

Against Albion The Flying Dutchmen of Hope

College will open the 1960

M.I.A.A. season against the Al-

bion Britons again this year in

what all hope will be a repeti-

tion of last year's 7-0 victory

at Riverview Park.

Local fans will remember last year's encounter, played in a downpour characteristic of many Albion games in the past four years, by the spectacular 78 yard punt return of "Sharkey" Vande Woude for the only and decisive score of the game. To-morrow's contest will take place at Albion.

T h e cross-country t e a m , coached by A1 Vanderbush will attempt to avenge its 15-45 de-feat of last season also.

Council Meeting (Cont'd from Page 3)

agreement resulted as to the actual mechanics of the system.

As you know we have no new Dean of Students, so at Presi-dent Lubbers' suggestion Dr. Hollenbach has offered his as-sistance in fulfilling the duties of the vacated office.

We, as the Student Council, have a problem involving com-munication with all the Hope students. A few suggestions were offered such as publishing the minutes of the meeting in the "Anchor" and using a few minutes on WTAS. (As you can see, the former was accepted.)

Hey, Frosh, look here! We upperclassmen aren't so cruel after all. We discussed the out-rageous cost of the Frosh bean-ies and decided to investigate further. The Council has re-quests. that all, if any, profit from the sale of beanies be turned over to the Freshmen Class.

Here comes a plug for the Junior class — President Rog Achterhof proudly announced that his class is publishing a b o o k l e t containing pictures, names and addresses of all new students on campus. They'll be out soon for only a quarter, which is to cover the publish-ing cost. Hmm, do you think the juniors will make any profit here?

At 8:36 P.M. the council mem-bers raised their hands in a c o m p l e t e agreement (for a change). What for? Why, in order to adjourn the meeting, of course. Cal reminded us that the next meeting will be Oct. 4, at 7:15 in Dr. Hollenbach's home.

Michigan U. Prof Speaks at IRC

Dr. Sam Clark, Professor of Political Science at W e s t e r n Michigan University, Kalama-zoo will speak to an all-college assembly at 1:30 p.m., Wednes-day, October 5 in Dimnent chapel. His address will be fol-lowed by a discussion period at 3:45 p.m. in Phelps Hall. Any interested students are encour-aged to take part.

His speech will be one of a series in conjunction with the fall program theme of the In-ternational Relations Club, "U. S. Politics in World Focus." The theme has been designed by the Club in this national presiden-tial campaign year to show the irrevocable link between U.S. domestic issues and world af-fairs. This will be especially in-teresting because Dr. Clark is running for Congress on the Democratic ticket this year.

The I.R.C.'s first meeting was held Wednesday night at 7 p.m. The film "United States Re-sponsibility to the Rest of the World" was shown. This was followed by an address on a similar topic by Dr. Wesley R. Fischel, Professor of Political Science at Michigan State Uni-versity, East Lansing.

Dr. Fischel spoke from a re-cent background of five years' service in Viet-Nam as a mem-ber of an American team there.

Adviser for the International Relations Club is Dr. Paul G. Fried, Chairman of the Depart-ment of History. Club officers are president, Wa-el Karachy; vice president, Allan F. Deitz; secretary, Elizabeth Talsma; treasurer, Jim Mc Dowall; his-torian, Ian Jones, and project chairman, Justine Dakin.
