Editorial

Chronic Gripitis? In considering the success of an educational program, we find

that the attitudes of the students play an important and significant role. Since it is our purpose to question, let us then examine these attitudes on our own campus.

It is quite obvious from listening to student conversations and studying student reactions that many of us have a habit of com-plaining, or criticising, as the case may be. The question then arises whether we are criticising in order to improve a situation or whether we have been overcome by chronic gripitis.

Before examining these feelings, it first is necessary to make a few basic assumptions. We must agree that constructive criti-cism and carefully thought out questioning is the basis os intel-lectual freedom and, therefore, its privileges are are granted to all students attending democratic institutions. We might also agree that constant complaining just to be griping is an immature emotional reaction.

In addition, it would be advisable to consider the source of a griping attitude though it is difficult to single out any one cause for a spirit of complaint. It might, however, be the result of one of two things or a combination of both: either an insipid, inconsistent program on the part of one or more departments on campus; or a laziness on the part of students who react by conforming to a rationalizing process—"If one subject is poorly planned, probably others are too, so I'm not to blame for my low grades.

So this question remains: are we always justified in our criti-cisms of educational programs, religious affairs, and social cli-mate? When we criticize, do we also include suggestions and then act on those suggestions? Or do we complain because we think it is smart or sophisticated to gripe?

In criticizing, have we lost the true feeling toward our college ? Have we overlooked its good points, ignored its assets, and blinded ourselves by petty complaints and minor controversies ?

After we have thus questioned ourselves, there remains a chal-lenge. The honest, mature person is dared not to be overcome with the ominous cloud of complaint, but to push on to more important, more significant things and ideas. The person overcome with chronic gripitis is urged to act to improve the situations that he doesn't like, for action is the best therapy for this disease.

Spice And Crumbs

Review of P & M Plays

Bite The Dust A certain amount of sham is inevitable. Everyone pretends a

little: to himself, to his friends, to the whole world. We at Hope are probably no worse in that respect than anybody else.

And usually that is where the matter is dropped. We are no worse. Nobody else is any better than we are.

But. Maybe we pretend in a different way. Perhaps here in the

world of sham and let's pretend we can discover that we are unique: let us examine hypocrisy.

A pretty word, hypocrisy. Convenient and not too hard to spell. So easy to use even a child can do it.

Children do use it. It is not hard to nod the head significantly and damn someone or something as an example of hypocrisy. To use the word is a kind of badge, a certificate that the wearer is "in", enlightened, and under nobody's thumb.

This is one of our most precious little pretensions. But to pass judgements on the hypocrisy that, we must grant, is certainly there to be judged, is to accept the risk of suddenly becoming the defendant rather than the judge.

So of course this editorial cannot continue.

Treated As Adults In years past as we have walked through the ivy covered walls

of Hope College, we have been embittered over our treatment as children instead of adults. Upon returning to campus this Fall we learned that finally we were breaking through that barrier and had at least gained the status of adolescents. The progress which I am speaking of is in the realm of chapel attendance.

No longer are we greeted at chapel by a one-armed disciplin-arian, but rather we are being treated as adults, being put on our honor to meet college requirement without a knife in our backs.

We as a student body, always able to jeer at the administra-tion, should be ready to cheer them now. Already there is evidence of the one-time strong negative attitude toward chapel to be fading away. The services have become more reverent and meaningful to those in attendance. Considering all factors there could have been nothing more beneficial done for our chapel system.

Originally the purpose of this editorial was solely to praise the new system, however, almost everyone realizes its merits by now. Instead some time will be given to inform some of these pseudo-adults of our campus that chapel is still held each morning at 8:00.

By the diminishing attendance it might almost seem that the administration made a hasty decision—maybe we do need that friendly metalic handshake at the chapel door in order to find the necessary inspiration to attend this worship service.

If in this trial year we, as adult students, can not prove our-selves able to attend chapel under the new and improved system nor able to live up to our college's standards we can hardly expect the administration to continue its present plan.. Only if we give it our support and show ourselves to be the mature students which we have claimed to be for so long can we expect or hope for this system to last.

by Richard Jaarsma The Palette and Masque pro-

duction of J o h n Millington Synge's RIDERS TO THE SEA was sensitively and sympathet-

ically d o n e . The play, one of t h e first British, o r rather Irish, attempts a t realism in the drama, r e -v o l v e s a r o u n d an Irish fish-erwoman who

has seen all of her sons, and her husband, devoured by the sea, which, paradoxically, they de-dend on for their living.

T h e play opens with the woman, adequately portrayed by Nancy Raymer, waiting to hear news of one of her two remain-ing sons Michael, who is pre-sumed drowned at sea. Her other son, played by Lou Scud-der, leaves for the sea in spite of her protests, and she can-not bring herself to bless him.

Her two daughters persuade her to go and meet him before he leaves; and as she leaves, they unwrap a bundle in which there are some bits of clothing belonging to a fisherman found drowned some miles to the north. They recognize the cloth-ing as Michael's and decide to tell her.

She comes back, moaning, and tells the daughters that she has seen Michael riding behind the other son on a horse, and that this is a sign that this son too will not come back. She is proven correct when some fish-ermen bring in his body, still dripping, and tell her that his horse threw him into the sea.

Both of the actresses, Barbara Walvoord and Nancy Rees, por-trayed the daughters in a man-ner w h i c h distinguished the characters very easily from each other, in roles which could easily have become confused. Nancy Raymer as the mother, lacked only the Irish brogue necessary for her character to have been not a mere representation, but an actual person.

The only actor who seemed to carry his part with confi-dence and an unaffected sincer-ity was Lou Scudder, the living son. His easy handling of the dialect and brusque, affectionate manner were well-suited to the theme of the play.

A word about the theme. Hav-ing seen the last of her male family borne in on a stretcher, the old woman says that now that hope is gone, there can also be no more sorrow.

There is a majesty, a chal-lenge in her approach to death. Her ordeal is past. It lay not in the death of her sons and hus-band, but in their living as fish-ermen, each trip on the sea per-haps their last.

THE WAY OF THE CROSS also handles death, but on a broader and more abstract scale. The death is that of Christ as seen through the eyes of mini-ature Everymen who comment on Christ's carrying of the cross to Golgotha.

Wearing black robes to sug-gest their anonymity and per-haps their bond with all man-kind, these disemodied voices serve alternately as soldiers, the people, the disciples, Christ, and the v o i c e of conscience, all rolled into a disconcerting pot-pouri of speeches and frighten-ing jumps by Bob Fisher from

one end of the stage to the other.

There is an embarrasing liter-alness in the little verses, for they are nothing more, quoted by Mary Van Dyke at the be-ginning of each separate scene. I personally will not d r i n k blood, religious as I may be, not even mystically, although the playwright Henri Gheon, seems to think that his choice

of symbolism is just the thing for a "religious" drama.

The acting, or quoting of scripture passages, if you will, was good enough, but did not bring out the talents of any of the actors. Perhaps the play can be given again, with some success, to church groups, but as a vehicle for religious ideas in a fresh context, it fails rather badly.

Letter to Editor

What Price Glory I am writing this article with mixed emotions. First of all, I

think the student council should be highly commended for sponsor-ing what I consider, the most successful dance Hope has had in the last four years. I think the programming and refreshment com-mittees (general chairmen Ron Rohe and Judy Sietsma) deserve a lot of credit for doing an extra fine job. All of the students I have talked to seem to agree whole heartedly.

Now for the other side of this article. Every one knows we were beaten by Muskingum last week-end and beaten badly. I don't think we should cry over spilt milk but I do think we should be concerned about a new low in student spirit at this game.

I seems odd to me that the student body can work up so much enthusiasm for our traditional pull and then be so dead at our football games. Forty fellows from the freshmen and sophomore classes work hard for two weeks in preparation for the pull.

On the other hand, approximately fifty-five of our school's best athletes work just as hard for approximately three months and what kind of support do we give them? Perhaps the team spirit wasn't as high as it should have been last Saturday, how-ever, it's extra tough to play ball in front of a student body who doesn't seem to care if we win or lose.

What do I think should be done to remedy this situation? It might help if we have a few^ more pep rallies to stress the importance of students cheering at games.

If we had something resem-bling a cheering section, the players would at least know that the majority of the student body was behind them. Maybe if the cheerleaders spread out a little instead of huddling together in front of one section of the sta-dium, the response might im-prove.

These are some suggestions, you might have some better ones. Only we, the student body, can make the necessary changes. It is up to us to make sure that a large portion of the college spirit doesn't die here at Hope during the football season. Let's see if we can get something or-ganized, possibly through the student council, so we can help the team win our remaining home games.

Opportunities Open In Washington Anchor Editor:

I have been reading with much interest the articles in the Anchor concerning the 1960 Presidential Campaign. Being in Washington during this ex-citing time has truly proved an enlightenment.

Just in one day we were af-forded the opportunity to see Senator Kennedy in an appear-ance on our campus. Also by touring the elaborate National Headquarters of both parties we have been able to see and work with the people directly involved. The pitch of excite-ment is tremendous and grow-ing every day.

These opportunities are only a few among the terrific possi-bilities for activities in the Capital. Hope should really be proud that it is one of ninety colleges in the nation to be chosen to partake in the Wash-ington Semester program spon-sored by American University.

It's Your Choice - Freedom or Slavery LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS by Leander Wang

It never did occur to me when I was a child that my native island, Quemoy, would become one of the hottest spots in the world today, nor did i t ever oc-cur to me that this small island (62.4 sq. mi.) would become one of the big issues in the 1960 campaign.

During the past two weeks, both Nixon and Kennedy have been debating at length across the nation about Quemoy and Matsu (11.3 sq. mi.) islands in opposite view-points. To be sure, Kennedy said, "I think it unwise to take the chance of being dragged into a world war over two islands which are not strategically defensible."

Nixon, on the other hand, said, "We should not force our Na-tionalist allies to get off them and give them to the Commun-ists. If we do that we start a chair reaction. For the Com-munists aren't a f ter Quemoy and Matsu. They are a f te r For-mosa . . . . I t is the principle involved. Two islands are in the area of freedom."

From these two quotations we find the key phrases such as "being dragged into a world war", not strategically defen-sible," "chain reaction", "prin-ciple involved", and "area of freedom."

We also find that both can-didates are raising two quite different questions. Kennedy questions the defensibility of these islands while Nixon ques-tions whether Americans should defend these islands or not. I shall attempt to weigh on these questions and phrases, and then answer them to the best of my judgment.

Let us l i rs l Took into the his-tory of the Western man. We find the Western man has been engaged in a long and weary struggle for freedom.

Even though he has the free-dom now, yet he is now threat-ened by the two greatest revo-lutionary powers, the USSR and Communist China, he has ever encountered. His freedom is constantly threatened by a dif-ferent social system which de-nies the fundamental freedom of man.

Khruschev says, "We will bury you," and Mao Tse-tung writes, "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Yes, we are v

advocates of the omnipotence of the revolutionary war, which is good and is Marxist." Where is

Pre-Medkal Society Goes National

The Hope College Pre-medical Society, soon to be affiliated na-tionally with A E D (Alpha Epsilon Delta) the national Pre-Med Fraternity, held its first meeting of the year on Sept. 29, 1960. This was a gen-eral introductory meeting con-sisting of an outline of the plans for the coming year, an address by the President and Vice President, and a fine film: Resuscitation f o r Cardiac Ar-rest.

The next meeting on Oct. 27, 1960, will concern itself with the practice of Obstetrics. The Society's officers for the year are: Gary Vanden Berg, Presi-dent; Mike Magan, Vice-Presi-dent; and Merlin Kleinhuizen, Secretary-Treasurer. Any up-perclass men or women inter-ested in Medicine or Dentistry are cordially invited to attend and become members.

freedom under Communism ? and Where is peace under the aggression ?

What can the Western man do in his struggle against the rising tide of barbari ty? What can he do but to possess a sup-erior military force! Freedom depends on peace; but peace, in this nuclear age, can only be maintained by power w h i c h means devising ever more fear-ful nuclear weapons.

Whether he likes it or not, he has to choose between total nuclear annihilation or sur-render to the slavery of com-munism.

We have seen that the strug-gle for freedom is not only a struggle for principle, but also for survival. The struggle calls for the willingness to sacrifice and to pay the price. We have also seen that power is the only way to maintain peace. We can now go back to the Quemoy-Matsu issue.

We find the the question

raised by Kennedy on the de-fensibility of these islands is no longer vaild. For if these islands are indefensible, is not West Berlin more indefensible yet? How about South Korea, West Germany, and Vietnam? Would not they drag Americans into wars too?

Why bother to defend them if there is no principle involved? What the Russians are af ter is the whole world, including the U.S. Are we then to keep re-treating and surrendering until the Russians are satisfied?

Quemoy, Matsu and other places in the world are defen-sible as long as the Free World is stronger than the Russians and is willing to stand firmly against any threat.

The Free World should not encourage the Russians to take any free area by saying that it is indefensible as Kennedy is now proposing. Freedom or slavery, the choice is yours.

a f te r a discussion yesterday, that Hope should put more em-phasis on this opportunity. One college half the size of Hope sends seven students, but the most our college ever sent is two and often there is only one Hope student partaking in the program.

There is still time for stu-dents to apply for admission for the Spring Semester.

Let's push this program be-cause not only does it help an individual mature but it helps the college to become known by many influential people and aids it in maintaining a high rating.

Why not consider coming to Washington?

Sincerely,

Carol Sikkema,

The library is scheduled for completion by June first, 1961. The total cost of the building is estimated at $1,000,000. Over one-half of this sum is a g i f t from G. John Van Zoeren.

Hope College's Van Zoeren Library will be ready for use by the student body next fall.

Dutchmen Meet Kazoo Tomorrow The "Flying Dutchmen" face

Kalamazoo College tomorrow in a traditional rivalry dating back more years than many people can remember.

In fact, some people have completely forgotten about it. Never-the-less, the Hornets, still smarting from last year's Home-coming Day defeat, by another lopsided score, 41-6, will at-tempt to terminate the Dutch-men streak of three victories and take home the "coveted" wooden shoes, a symbol of the rivalry since 1931.

The Kalamazoo eleven, fresh from come-from-behind victor-ies over Olivet and Alma, has a dangerous passing combination of Quarterback Jim Smith and Don Pell, as well as a hard running halfback in Carl Betok-ski, which will probably result in a much closer contest than last year's rout.

Hope Harriers Edge Acqoinas

The Hope College cross-coun-try team, coached by Daryl Siedentop, defeated Acquinas College last week, in a three mile run. Although A1 Jasko-witz of Acquinas copped first place, Hope runners Van Wier-en, Nyboer, Sterk took the next three positions, and Menken and Holleman aso finished in the top ten, to give the Dutchmen their second victory in a row.

the floats were announced. They are as follows:

First place for sororities. Sibylline Sorority (theme: "Dry Bones"), second place, Delta Phi ("Sh-boom"). First place for fraternity division, Frater-nal Society ("Slaughter on Sixth Avenue"), second place. Cosmo-politan Fraternity ("I've Got A Crush On You").

The winners of the dorm and h o u s e decorations were an-nounced at the same time and are as follows: First place in dormitory division, Kollen Dorm ("Shiek of Araby"), s e c o n d place, Voorhees Hall ("There've Been Some Changes Made On the Street Where You Lived"). In the .freshmen girl's houses division, Oggel Cottage ("Deary, Do You Remember?") won first place and Fairbanks Cottage ("Stairway To The Stars") and Taylor Cottage ("I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair") tied for second place.

The Cosmopolitan Fraternity ("Around The World In Eighty Days") won first place for f ra-ternity house decorations and since they have won this honor three years in succession they now have permanent possession of the trophy. Second place went to the Fraternal Society ("With-out A Song").

The day ended with the an-nual Homecoming B a l l , the theme of which was "Shangri-La." As the name implies, the setting was an oriental one, in-cluding an Oriental duo of dances and some of Hope's fe-male students from the Orient dressed in their native attire, who served the refreshments.

The final event of a wonder-ful weekend was the Alumni Recital, which was presented on Sunday afternoon in the Dim-nent Memorial Chapel.

Muskingum Flattens Hope 47-0 An overflow Hope College

c r o w d at Riverview P a r k watched the powerful Mus-kingum Muskies squeeze by the "Flying Dutchmen" in the final sixty minutes of play, and hand them their first shutout in for-ty-seven games. As sort of an acknowledgment of this fact, the Muskies rolled up forty-seven points to disappoint a crowd of 4,800 local fans.

Few comments can be made on the' game. The visitors played the superior type of foot-ball that they were expected to play. The Muskie defense was superb, allowing no Hope drive to approach closer than the 25 yard line.

Last year's "little All-Ameri-can" fullback, Bill "Cannonball" Cooper accumulated no less than three times as much yardage

than the entire Hope eleven put together. Quarterback Jim Bur-son scored two touchdowns and set up countless others with passes.

The fierce rushing of 6' 4" end, Don Benson, prevented a consistent passing attack by Quarterback Mack, a n d the heavy Muskingum backfield kept the Hope secondary on their toes with an effective "belly-series". A thorough knowledge of running fundamentals, as well as sheer drive, forced the Hope defense to rely on "gang-tack-ing" all afternoon.

When the scoring was fin-ished, there could be no doubt that Hope had encountered a f a r superior team. The only possible solace lay in the fact that Muskingum was only under contract for the 1960 season.

Homecoming Followups Hi!

With the Freshman-Sophomore Pull and the Home-coming activities out of the way, the whole campus can now look forward to the contest for the Nykerk Cup. Practicing is now underway and those involved are becoming increas-ingly aware of the short space of time before the big night.

Alpha Gamma Phi Alpha Phi was extremely proud of their sister, Sharon

Crossman, when it was announced on Thursday evening that she would reign over the weekend's activities as the Home-coming Queen of 1960. — Amid all this excitement the soror-ity also held a luncheon at the Eten House on October 15th.

They were happy to welcome back some of the charter members. A humor paper was presented by Gail Pennington and Judy Hoffman. The sorority Quartet composed of Mary Ann Hoogenboom, Connie Kreger, Carolyn Ringenoldus, and Marti Workman closed the luncheon by singing "Sentimental Journey" and "There's A Little Street Where Old Friends Meet".

Omicron Kappa Epsilon On Saturday, October 15th, a f ter the game, the Fraternal

Society held Open House for its alumni. In the evening a party was held at the Holland Country Club with M.C., Dennis Hengeveld, in charge.

In addition to the humor paper given by Doug Japinga, entertainment was also offered by two alumni, Swede Olson and Jim Menzer. — The rushing activities got under way Wednesday evening with a Smoker. — Victory Float. — Re-member! Ralph Marteri! Nov. 3!!!

Sigma Iota Beta The members of the Sibylline Sorority nearly went wild

with joy at the game last Saturday when it was announced by Queen Sharon that the Sibylline sorority had placed first in the sorority float division.

The sorority also held a luncheon at the American Legion Country Club for all actives, pledges, and former sorority members. The Alumni presented the sorority with a g i f t of furniture for the sorority room.

This week has been Informal Initiation and it will be culminated tonight with the Pledge Dinner and Formal In-itiation at Cummerfords. — Plans are being made for Date Night on October 28th. Kathy Teck is in charge.

Letters have been received from sorority members Carol Sikkema who is attending the American University in Wash-ington, D.C. and from Joyce Dalebout who is attending the University of Edenburgh in Scotland.

Kappa Beta Phi The new pledges of Dorian became actives last week. as.

they paper-mached, painted and stuffed the float along with their sorority sisters.

The date of Oct. 28th is anxiously being anticipated by all Dorians. Why? It is Date Night!

Delta Phi The Delphies held their Alumni Luncheon at Van Raalte's

last Saturday a f te r the game. The Barbaretts provided some of the entertainment.

The trembling pledges were let out to their masters at the Slave Sale on Monday night. Some of the duties of these lowly slaves consist of memorizing the creed, the songs, and the birthdays of the actives. This past week has been Hell-Week so the girls have been indulging in a little dis-ciplining.

The sorority wishes to congratulate the members of the court upon being chosen to represent the school last week-end. These girls were: Bobby Russell, Carol Sutton, and Marcia Meengs. — The Delphies received Honorable Mention in the sorority float division.

Chi Phi Sigma Sorosis culminated its homecoming activities with its

annual homecoming alumnate luncheon held at the Hotel Warm Friend.

On Oct. 17 the lucky actives purchased their slaves, who have really been in for it this week! Following the slave sale, the pledges were taken on a tour of the campus on their hands and knees (blindfolded of course). Refreshments were served in the sorority room. /

Sigma Sigma The men of Chi Phi Sigma honored their alumni at a

banquet in the Warm Friend Tulip room on Saturday even-ing af ter the homecoming game. The five o'clock dinner was followed by a social period during which the Arkie quartet sang. The group was led in singing by Rev. Ed Viening, an Arcadian alumnus.

Af ter the social hour the Alumni held a business meeting for the purpose of electing officers to direct Alumni activ-ities. Vern Hoffs, class of '59 was elected president while Bill O'Donnell and Roger Garvelink were elected Eastern and Western secretary-treasurers, respectively.

In connection with the current rushing period, the Ar-cadian actives held a special meeting recently to adopt a new revised bidding system. Arkies are now anxious to test the new system at the close of the rushing period November 15.

The first rushing event was a coffee break Wednesday evening. Tonight's literary meeting is open to prospective Arcadians also. Tomorrow night rushees are invited to a lawn party and cook-out a t the Chi Phi Sigma house.
