tXtX"—6 Hope College — Holland, Michigan November 7, 1957

A u e r b a c h to Keynote C o n f e r e n c e Gould to Deliver Hawkinson Lecture

Speaker at the Fourth Annual Hawkinson Memorial Lecture will be Dr. Laurence M. Gould, Presi-dent of Carleton College and one of the foremost scientists of the United States. The lecture is being held in Hope Memorial Chapel to-night at 8:00 P.M.

Dr. Gould's address will be cen-tered around the subject "United States Science in the World of To-morrow". Besides being an excel-lent speaker, his qualifications are many. As director of the United States Antarctic Program for the International Geophysical Year. Dr. Gould is scientist and educator plus diplomat and statesman. This posi-tion necessitates constant contact and negotiati tns with the scientists of Russia and all other nations interested in the Antarctic Region. Dr. Gould has figured significantly in every major American expedi-tion to the Antarctic since 1926.

Arrangements to bring Dr. Gouid to Holland were made last spring by Dr. Paul Fried, chairman of the history department. Since the ap-pearance of Sputnik, the visit is one of great importance and ex-ceptionally timely.

Everyone is cordially welcome at the lecture, and are invited to bring friends. Again, as in previous years, there is no admission charge.

Hope Orchestra To

Present Concert Nov. 14 A complete orchestral program

that is without soloists will be pre-sented by the Hope College or-chestra under the direction of Mr. Rider on November 14 in the chapel at 8:15 p.m.

The 55 members of the orchestra will present in the words of Mr. Rider, "a program that will ap-peal to everyone." The two major works will be the "'Second Sym-phony" by the renowned American composer Vittorio Gianini and Bux-tehude's "Fanfa re and Chorale for Brass Choir."

The shorter compositions that have been incorporated in the pro-gram are H.N. Brown's "An Ameri-can Bolero" which in some as-pects resembles Ravel's immortal "Bolero"; LeRoy Anderson's "Phan-tom Regiment", and Strauss ' "Waltz Wiellervlute."

Kollen Library Esfabiished

The Kollen Hall Library is po-tentially an excellent source of re-ference for a good portion of the academic life of the men of Kollen Hall. Last year this library was graciously given a fine s ta r t by contributions of books from various sources. A set of Encyclopedia Britannica was sent over f rom Graves Library ,and the Rev. Paul Hinkamp and Mrs. Marie Aitche-son, both of the administration, do-nated sets and miscellaneous books f rom the shelves of their personal libraries.

The students of Hope College, particularly the men, are encou-raged to seriously consider the Kol-len Library if they have some books they feel would be put to better use if in a public place. These books need not be limited to any specific field of study or interest, but rather should cover many areas of interest. It has also been pointed out to students who know of some church organizations in town that desire to contribute in some way to some aspect of Hope College, that here is an opportunity and certain-ly here is a need.

In order to give credit where it is due, it is advised that contribu-tors place their name or organiza-tion's name inside the f ron t cover. Contact Dean Hinga if you know of books tha t are available.

men of outstanding academic abili-ty, personality congenial to the classroom, and integri ty and char-acter, including serious inquiry within the Christian tradition.

Appointments are fundamental ly "a relationship of encouragement" throughout the years of graduate study, carrying a promise of finan-cial aid within prescribed conditions as there may be need. Students with or without financial need are invited to apply. A Danfor th Fel-low is allowed to carry other scho-larship appointments, such as Rhodes, Fulbright , etc., concurrent-ly with his Danfor th Fellowship.

All applications, including the recommendations, must be com-pleted by Janua ry 31, 1958. Fur ther information can be obtained from Dean Hinga.

Rev. Hoffman to Lead R.E. Week Activities

February 2-7, 1958 are the dates set for Religious Emphasis Week on Hope's campus this year. The Rev. Harvey Hoffman, minister of the Second Reformed Church in Hackensack, N. J., will be the main speaker f o r the week.

Religious Emphasis Week, an annual project of the Y.W.C.A. and the Y.M.C.A., is a week in which all s tudents can re-evaluate their

Christian fa i th . Hope Brahs and Albert Fassler are co-chairmen of this year 's Religious Emphasis Committee. Helping them with the seminars and evening devotions are Sheryl Yntema and John Kleinhek-sel. Helen Taylor and Bob Peter-son are planning the "Y" meeting and evening devotions. Programs are in charge of Roger Garvelink and Marge Ten Haken; and Stan Harrington, J ini Vander Borgh, Carol McCahan, Artel Newhouse, and Chuck Hesselink will be work-ing on publicity.

A History . . . Tonight the Fourth Annual Hawkinson Memorial Lecture will be

delivered by Dr. Lawrence M. Gould, one of America's foremost scien-t is ts and directors of the U.S. Antart ic program fo r the International Geophysical Year.

The lecture is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Ella A. Hawkinson, Chairman of the Department of History and Political Science at Hope College f rom 1948 to 1952. It has as its objective the fos ter ing of in-ternational understanding by bringing to the campus and community each year some distinguished participant in international affairs.

Trygve Lie, former Secretary-General of the United Nations, in-augerated the Hawkinson Memorial Lecture in 1954. No less eminent were the Lecturers fo r 1955 and 1956, Dr. Karl Gruber, Austr ian Am-bassador to the U.S., and Mrs. Edith S. Samson, a former U.S. delegate to the United Nations' General Assembly.

Because the fostering of international understanding is also an objective of the I.R.C., it has each year sponsored the Western Michigan I.R.C. Conference in conjunction with the Hawkinson Lecture. Dele-gates f rom eight colleges attend the conference. Last year when Mrs. Samson spoke, the I.R.C. played host to the annual meeting of the Michigan Council on UNESCO.

In an age when scientific development has such profound political and social repercussions, the Fourth Hawkinson Memorial Lecture is propitious. —D. G. C.

From East & West By Yoshie Ogawa

"People look in their own houses first, then outside," Carmina Mon-zo, Panama City, Panama, a f resh-man a t Albion College, observed.

She say the United States is not selfish but has many more internal affairs to o c c u p y it than her coun-t ry and o t h e r

, small countries. . . T h e teenagers

v . . ^ there are very Yoshie O q a w a . . . . ,

similar to t h e ones in this country, she observed. Dat ing is as much indulged in there as it is here although the young people usually go with a group or double date.

Since most of the people of Pan-ama are Catholic, the high schools are operated by nuns and priests. The curriculum is strictly set up, and no one has a choice about the subjects he takes. None of the schools are co-educational except in the Canal Zone.

Most of the students in Panama play musical instruments. When a dance or par ty is without music, anyone attending can provide it. Carmina herself sings, she also plays popular Spanish songs on her gu i ta r which she learned to play in Mexico during the two years she spent attending an English board-ing school there.

The colors of our autumn leaves s tar ted and pleased her, since in the 10 months of summer and two months of winter, the trees are always green in Panama. The cold weather here displeases her even more than it does many of us, and the winter clothing is very heavy for a girl used to the light clothes of a warm climate.

The friendliness of North Amer-ica ra ther surprised her since the few North Americans in Panama do not go out of their way to be pleasant to the people of the country.

IGY: Achievement In International Co-operation

Commission Schedules Entrance Examination

To fu r the r improve its position in the competition fo r talented college people, the Federal Gov-ernment is opening its Federal-Service Entrance Examination this year to college juniors in addition to seniors, college graduates and others of equivalent experience, the Civil Service Commission an-nounced today.

Also, job appointments, effective a f t e r graduation, may be offered the juniors if they pass the exam-ination and their names become available on the lists of eligibles to be established. As in the past, such job offers may also be made to seniors.

The first Federal-Service En-trance Examination to be held since the change is scheduled for November 16, the Commission said. Subsequent examinations will be held in January , February, March, and May, 1958. Applicants must have filed before October 31 fo r the November 16 wri t ten test, which will be given a t approxi-mately 1,000 examination points throughout the country.

The examination, first given two years ago, is designed to help fill the Government's yearly need fo r more young people of college-caliber who can be placed in jobs a t the entrance level and who have the potential to develop into the top managers , technicians, and specialists of the fu ture . Positions filled through the examination are in almost every kind of work. Dur-ing fiscal year 1957, more than 7,500 job appointments in 175 dif-

By Stuar t Wilson Editor 's Note—Dr. Laurence Gould,

this year 's Hawkinson Memorial lecturer is the director of the U.S. Antarct ic program for the International Geophysical Year. The following article is an at-tempt to acquaint us with some of the aspects of the IGY. Since July 1, more than 5,000

scientists f rom 56 countries have been actively engaged in the most intense study of man's environ-ment yet attempted. For the next fourteen months these men will carry on the ambitious probing into the hidden secrets of the ear th and its atmosphere. This is the period of the International Geo-physical Year: a twentieth century achievement in international co-operation.

Nature knows no international boundaries. A cold air mass mov-ing out of Canada and across the United States may have been the result of a storm off the east coast of Asia. This same mass may move across the Atlantic, to cause s torms in England and on the Continent. The men who study the physical forces and phenomena associated with the earth, the geophysicists, must cooperate. To bind such studies within national boundaries would soon mean the end of those sciences which study our environ-ment. Fortunately, this is not the case. Today, in a world where the f r ee flow of knowledge is of ten hindered by political tension, we a r e witnessing a magnificent achievement in international coop-eration in the work being carried on during the IGY.

An Adventure in International Science

At this moment, scientists are working in the remote areas of the world. They are manning seis-mological stations on tiny islands in the vast Pacific. They are trek-king across the white expanse of Antarctica to measure the thickness of the polar ice-cap. Countless in-dividual projects are being carried on simultaneously throughout the world.

The temperature , pressure, wind speed, and humidity of the atmos-phere a t altitudes up to 100,000 feet are being measured. Some sci-entists are engaged in studying the deep ocean currents about which little is known. Observations are being made in an effort to dis-cover some of the things we take fo r granted such as the precise shape of the earth and the exact location of the continents.

All over the world scientists are probing into the very core of the ear th and studying the outermost

fe ren t occupations were made of persons who passed the examina-tion. The Commission est imates t ha t during the next 12 months a t least the same number of entrance-level jobs, a t salaries ranging f rom $3,670 to $4,525 a year , will be filled f rom the F S E E lists of eligibles.

The Commission emphasized tha t Government needs for college-cali-ber people are increasing each year despite any overall reductions in the Federal work force tha t may occur at any one time. Although turnover in Government compares favorably with tha t of private in-dustry, i ts effect on the large work force needed by modern govern-ment is such as to require t ha t f r o m 200,000 to 300,000 job ap-pointments be made each year. In addition, the increasing complexity of many of the jobs to be per-formed is requiring tha t each year a grea ter number of them be filled by college-caliber people.

limits of the atmosphere 800 miles into space. This didn't jus t hap-pen. The story of the International Geophysical Year is the story of —

An Adventure in Internationa! Relations

The story of scientific coopera-tion is not a new one. In the lat-te r par t of the Nineteenth Century, the First International Polar Year was conducted. F i f ty years later, in 1932-33 the studies were re-sumed in the North Polar regions.

In 1950, a group of scientists gathered informally in Washing-ton, D.C. to discuss the Third Polar Year. They felt , because of the rapid advance of scientific study, it would be necessary to increase the world's geophysical knowledge be-fore 1982. Since the period 1957-58 was expected to be a year of intense solar activity, thus present-ing an excellent opportunity of the study of atmospheric phenomena, they proposed tha t the date of the Third Year be advanced. Af t e r the proposal received strong endorse-ment, the work of planning and or-ganization began. It was carried on through the network of inter-connected scientific organizations and unions which covers all the countries of the world. Finally, in 1956, the part icipat ing nations be-gan establishing their bases and stations.

The International Geophysical Year is more than a scientific un-dertaking. The experiences of plan-ning and organization are just as important to the field of interna-tional relations as the contributions these studies will make to science. The scientists of 56 countries have demonstrated to the world that there can be cooperation among people despite differences in na-tional traditions, economic status, and ideology. President Eisenhower has written, concerning the IGY, tha t it should "very materially strengthen our bonds with the many cooperating nations a n d make a constructive contribution to the solution of mutual prob-lems."

An Introduction This is ostensibly to be an in-

troductory essay explaining the purpose and the subject mat te r of my forthcoming column. Whether it will be successful depends en-tirely on you, my little readers. Perhaps it will be a new experi-ment in l i terature. Perhaps there won't be another column. Quien Sabe?

As this is to be an introductory column I should tell you a little abou the purpose of my undertak-ing. I hardly know how to begin. Perhaps "Dear H a r r y " would be as good a way as any.

There are a lot of things tha t could be changed at Hope (Oh, yes there are ; There must be) and I feel tha t it is my duty as critic to arouse in the student body an awareness of the many inadequacies and problems which plague our in-stitution. But I'll save tha t fo r some other time.

Interspersed with these fur t ive jabs of criticism will be occasional book reviews, opinions on educa-tion, and discussions on a variety of subjects rang ing f rom Sputnik to Freud. As a result of all this reform and revolution, I shall prob-ably be tar red and feathered and run off the campus on a rai l ; but such is the reward of those with radical ideas. That ' s about it fo r now. See you next time, I hope!

Frats Enter Last Weeks of Rushing ARCADIAN:

Last week, Friday, Nov. 1, the Arkies held a joint literary meet-ing with the A.S.A. Sorority. Mem-bers of both groups took par t in the program.

Tonight, Nov. 8, the Arkies will hold a l i terary meeting. It will be-gin at 7:45 in the chapel basement. Larry Schut will give the humor paper and Peter Cupery will pre-sent the serious topic: Aviation Aids.

Other rushing activities include an open house Sunday, Nov. 10, which will be held a f t e r church for all rushees and their dates, and a regular open house on Wednesday, Nov. 13. On Nov. 15, the Arkies will hold their annual square dance. The rushees are invited to all these events and are urged to get dates for the open house on Nov. 10 and also for the square dance on Nov. 15.

COSMOPOLITAN: This past week, Friday, Nov. 1,

the Cosmopolitan f ra terni ty held their annual fall smoker. Satur-day evening the Cosmos gave a "space par ty" for all rushees. The house was decorated to give the ap-pearance of a space ship. Games were played and prizes w e r e awarded for the best costume rep-resenting life in the year 2000.

Tonight, Friday, Nov. 8, the Cosmos are having a literary meet-ing which is open to all rushees. Fred Brown is in charge of the serious paper and Jim Bolthouse will present the humor paper.

Tomorrow the Cosmo house will be open all day for the "Moms and Dads" of all actives and interested rushees.

The United Nations During the past year, the spot-

light of the world has been trained very intensively upon the United Nations. The two major crises of last year, tha t of the Suez and Hungary, shook the world and the eyes of mankind turned to the United Nations.

Two weeks ago the United Na-tions week was celebrated all over the nation. Oftentimes, the ques-tions were asked as to how the United Nations has fared during this time of trial and testing, how it has responded to the hopes, fears , and prayers of all the diffe-rent people in the world, what its actions have been and what lessons have been learned from the ordeals.

In the Hungarian crisis, the Uni-ted Nations condemned the U.S.S.R. for the violation of the charter de-priving Hungary of its liberty and independence. Conditions in Hun-gary were investigated by a com-mittee established by the General Assembly, which goes to show tha t the United Nations was on the job.

In the Middle Eas t crisis, the U n i t e d Nations action brought about the removal of British, French and Israeli forces f rom E-gypt and in the establishment of a United Nations Emergency F o r c e -considered the forerunner of a Uni-ted Nations Army. The United Na-tions have helped prevent f u r t h e r destruction and saved many, many lives.

During the United Nations week, a plan was made tha t all the people of this universe should dedicate themselves to the task of helping governments settle their differen-ces; then perhaps, the time may come when "swords shall be beaten into plowshares and nations shall not raise up swords against na-ions, neither shall they learn war any more."

The dance will be held in the North Shore Community Hall and special music will be provided by three fiddlers and a caller. Those Rushees at-tending this dance are asked to meet a t the house a t 7:15 f rom which t ransportat ion will be furn-ished fo r those without cars.

All day tomorrow the Emerson-ian house will be open to rushees and their parents . Rushees and actives are encouraged to bring their parents to see the house and meet some of the men.

Next Fr iday evening, Nov. 15, the Emersonians are holding a lit-erary meeting. This meeting will be held at the house and will begin a t 7 sharp. On Sunday, Nov. 17, the Emmies are holding their last open house of the rushing period. FRATERNAL:

The Fra ternal society held a l i terary meeting on last Friday evening. At this meeting George Van Congen presented the humor paper, John Van Dam gave the serious paper, and special music was presented by the Hope College Co-Eds. A f t e r the l i terary meet-ing an open house was held. At the open house filmed highlights of the Hope vs. Hillsdale game were shown.

Last Saturday the men of Fra-ternal held a smoker and films of the Detroit Lions football club were shown.

KNICKERBOCKER: The Knicks highlighted this past

weekend with a boat ride fo r rush-ees and actives. This outing which was attended by 64 featured games, a beach party and refreshments .

Tonight, Friday, Nov. 8, the men of Kappa E t a Nu are holding a l i terary meeting. Ronald Brown, a fo rmer Knickerbocker and now a Western Theological Seminary stu-dent and pa r t time instructor of Mathehatics a t Hope College, will address the group. Jim Kamp will lead devotions and Holly Meyer will present a music paper.

The Knicks' "Gold Rush Par ty" , a highlight in the rushing pro-gram of the f ra tern i ty , will take place tomorrow evening.

Alcor Holds Successful

Coffee Hour The annual Alcor Coffee Hour

was held a t Gilmore Cottage Oc-tober 26 immediately following the Homecoming football game. At-tended by th i r ty members of the present and past senior honor so-ciety, the coffee hour enjoyed a great success.

During the informal get-together, alumnae and present members in-troduced themselves. Many letters of regret were received from past Alcor members who were unable to attend the affair .

Lynn Van't Hof planned the cof-ree hour with the aid of the en-tire club. Miss Reevert, Dean of Women, supervised the arrange-ments. Pouring at the event were Miss Bried, Alcor advisor, and Miss Reeverts.

Sororities Hold Initiations ALPHA PHI:

Alpha-phi will officially become a full-fledged Hope College sorori-ty tonight a t the formal induction ceremony. The service will be based upon the purposes of the sorority, its creed and pledge. Members will be personally initiated by Jocelyn Fryling, Pan Hell president. The char ter will be presented and signed by the sorority's char ter members.

Date night is scheduled fo r No-vember 15. Plans include an eve-ning of bowling followed by re-f reshments and fellowship. The committee in charge, under the direction of Sheryl DeWitte in-cludes Dorene Tornga, Karen Ny-huis, and Betty Fell.

DELPHI: On November 15th, Delphi mem-

bers will travel to Grand Rapids fo r their date night to see the Civic Players present "The Loud Red Patr ick", a family comedy.

Last Friday night initiation be-gan with a slave sale. Also, the pledges planned skits in groups and entertained the active mem-bers a t the meeting.

DORIAN;

The new Dorian pledges were informally initiated last Friday night f rom 7:00 to 9:30 p.m. by candle light. Each pledge came dressed as a person of the enter-ment world. A f t e r the pledges passed the various tests of stamina set up by the actives, they pre-sented their quests and the slave sale was held. Carol Cloetingh and Marilyn Campbell were the auc-tioneers. Donuts and root beer were served to both actives and pledges.

Today brings to a close their term of enslavement and subor-dination to the actives except for a breakfas t which they will pre-pare fo r the actives tomorrow morning. Sue Edwards was ap-pointed chairman of this breakfast . A "pledge song" is also to be pre-sented to the actives at the break-fas t . This is to be prepared by Phyllis Lovins and Lyn Nelson.

Tonight the pledges will experi-ence another aspect of Dorian membership as they attend the an-nual Formal. This year, the theme of the evening is "Holiday in Heidelberg."

SIBYLLINE: Last Friday night, the "haunted

house" of Holland was the scene of the informal initiation of the Sibyl-line pledges. Each girl dressed as a nursery rhyme character and acted out the par t . This was fol-lowed by the traditional slave sale with Carol Luth as auctioneer, and the pledges were then given their guests. Tonight, the sorority will hold its formal initiation.

At the meeting on November 1st, before the intiation, plans fo r date night were discussed and it was unanimously voted upon to have a suffet supper and square dance instead of a box social as pre-viously planned. Judy Mulder was elected chairman of the Sib forma1

to be held early in February. Mary Lammers was elected to the office of Sargeant-of-Arms.

SOROSIS; Sorosis pledges began informal

initiation on Wednesday, October 30th. Dressed in long underwear and blindfolded, they were sub-jected to various stunts and were then put up fo r a slave sale. The following day they appeared on campus in s t range garb required by the actives. Each girl was to serve her mas te r fo r the next week by get t ing her breakfast , cleaning her room and running errands downtown. Friday, the pledges wore the Sorosis outfit, navy blue skirt and sweater and white blazer with the sorority emblem.

Washington, D.C.—To a student, this can be the most pulsat ing city in the world. As a university cen-ter of politics, government, and international affairs, Washington is an inexhaustible source of study. And few people are ap t to learn so much as the Washington Semes-ter student.

From all par ts of the country, f rom large universities and small colleges, the semesterers come. Their curricula, ranging f r o m pre-med to government and from accounting to economics, run the gamut of major programs in schools of liberal a r t s and business administration.

Here, under competent advisers, they study the intricacies of gov-ernment first hand. Their class-room, in seminar classes, the major par t of their program, may be the gallery of the House, a Senate committee caucus room, the audi-torium of the Library of Congress, or anywhere else government offic-ials work. Their teacher may be a Senator, a representative, a Su-preme Court Justice, a staff mem-ber of a legislative committee, or some other ranking U.S. official.

The program itself is in its eleventh year. Its alumni regard it as one of the most interesting and illuminating semesters of their college careers. It was originated primarily through the efforts of Dr. Catheryn Seckler-Hudson, dean of the college of government and pub-lic administration a t American University.

As a student of government a t a midwestern college, she was ad-vised by the President to spend some time in the Nation's capital if she ever really wanted to know government. "When I stood on the steps of the Capitol Building," she recalls, "somehow those b o o k s which I had memorized came alive. The words turned into reali ty."

Dean Hudson s p e n t several months here. However, hers was a trial and error study. She had nothing planned and was able to meet few people who really knew what makes the various depart-ments function. Merely through observation, she learned a grea t deal, but most of all she began to "feel government".

Now Washington semester stu-dents are reaping the benefits of her experience. The almost 100 students each semester are divided into three units, each of which has its particular adviser who arranges for people "in-the-know" to address the students.

These seminars probably are the only relatively easy way a student can learn many of these things about Washington's biggest busi-ness. Much of the material pre-sented is not to be found in text books. And always the lectures are illuminated by current events. Al-though they are only scheduled for one hour, most of them last more than two hours. A question and answer period takes up much of the time.

Not only are the seminars in-teresting, but because of the en-

vironment, timeliness and profes-sion of the lecturer, most students reveal tha t they are able to retain the information with astonishing ease.

Students even receive expert ad-vice on the 70-85 page project, which relates the results of a study of one part icular phase of govern-ment. Each student is assigned a project adviser with special com-petency in the field he wishes to investigate.

Even the project is different f rom that done in a regular col-lege course. The majori ty of the information is gathered not f rom second-hand sources but f rom in-terviews and first-hand observation. In order to be approved, the project ordinarily has to be one which being in Washington would par-ticularly facili tate. In the course of work on the project, students often get to speak to some of the top officials in the U.S. govern-ment.

In addition to the project and seminar, each of which is worth three hours credit, the semesterer also takes two or three regularly scheduled college courses in the night school of American Uni-versity.

A decidedly increased interest in national affairs is evident in every student. Although they are not re-quired to, each student keeps abreast of national and inter-national happenings. A quiz on Russia's new "sputnik" would prob-able result in A's for all them. Practically all "semesterers" made a special t r ip to the vicinity of the White House last week to see rab-ble rouser John Kasper in action.

EVERYTHING here is not work, though — if the seminars and proj-ect can be called that . The semes-terers are not bookworms, by a long shot. One uni t is planning to tr ick-or-treat the embassies on Halloween. Practically every Sat-urday there is a motorcade to some football game. Sunday night each unit gets together for dinner a t one of Washington's finest na-tionality res taurants . Season tickets for the Washington concert season are purchased by semesterers like Lafayet te game tickets are bought at Lehigh. (Or Calvin game tickets a t Hope!)

One unit adviser said, "On this program, extracurricular activities are not advised—they are required. This is as much a part of the s tay in Washington as classroom work." *NOTE: If anyone is interested in at tending the American University for the Washington Semester pro-gram, contact Dr. Van Putten.

Last year was the first t ime tha t Hope College sent a student to participate in the Washington Semester program.

Hope Overpowers Olivet Comets 28-7

Hope College's football eleven won its third MIAA game last Sa-turday, knocking off the cellar-dwelling Olivet 28-7 on the Comets' home field. The win placed Hope in a position to tie Albion for second spot in MIAA football if they can vanquish the Britons tomorrow at the Mom and Dad's game. Hills-dale has already clinched a four th s t ra ight t i t le with f ive wins and no losses.

All the reserves got a chance to see action in the Saturday contest and performed well. For many it was their first appearance this year. Two third-stringers, f resh-men quarterback R o n F o x and f reshman halfback John Vanden-burg, combined their talents to pro-duce Hope's fourth touchdown. Fox passed to Vanden Burg in the end zone in a play which covered 44 yard. Bill Huibregtse followed with his fourth s t ra ight conversion.

Hope's first score came in the second quarter . Mert Vanderlind sneaked in f rom the one yard line a f t e r Ty Rupp had carried the ball 17 yards in two tries. Later, end Curt Menning fell on a Comet fumble to give Hope possession with goal to go on the six. Bekius carried the ball in f rom there. Be-kius scored his second touchdown of the game in the third quarter . He intercepted an Olivet pass on the for ty and ran it back to the f ive where, two plays later, he bar-relled into the end zone.

Olivet's lone Touchdown came a f t e r a fo r ty yard sustained drive in the final quarter. Halfback Bob Jones plunged over from the one and the extra point was added. This marked the first score fo r Oli-vet in MIAA play th is season. The defeat was their nineteenth in a row.

Hope was denied two more scores a f t e r long runs when penal-ties were called, or when the Dutch lost the ball on a fumble. A hold-ing penalty nullified one touchdown an offside penalty another, and a fumble a third.

The Dutchmen play host to the Albion Britons tomorrow at River-view Park. A Hope victory will deadlock the two teams for second place in the MIAA football stand-ings this season. Last week, Albion defeated Alma 13-6. In another game Hillsdale trounced Kalamazoo 48-0.

In Reply to a l e t t e r . . . . Last week's issue of the Anchor

included a letter-to-the-editor, in which could be found a reference or two to the sports section. I have not yet made up my mind whether I should consider those references as (to use the sender's phraseo-logy) a pat on the back or a kick in the whatever it was . . .

Whatever was intended displayed the ability of the let ter-writer for reviewing. In the case of quanti ty, this department is gra tefu l fo r any space the ad page will relinquish for an occasional write-up, and we do confess to being guilty of an occasional misspelling or omission of a touch football result. However, the poetic value of an alliterated line such as "Alabama Abrogates Auburn" can be questioned. . Per-sonally I like something like "Dutch Down Dales" much better. Not only does it Keep the reader from consulting Webster 's Colle-giate, but it also leaves more room for ads . . .

Britons Serious Threat To Dutch Chances

Hope's gridders will not have an easy task tomorrow when they meet the Albion Britons a t River-view Park. Moms and Dads present will witness two evenly matched teams battle it out. A Hope victory would give them a tie in the MIAA with Albion, both squads then fin-ishing with 4-2 records in second place. However, should the Britons be the victors, Hope will slide back into fourth place behind Alma. The Scots wound up their MIAA season last weekend, suffering a 13-6 set-back at the hands of Albion. Alma finished with three wins, two losses, and one tie which was agains t the fifth place Kalamazoo Hornets.

Nash and Van Gilder, Albion's ball-carrying backs, will pose a threa t to Hope's defense if they cannot be stopped. Both men are way up among the individual ground-gainers in the league, and provide most of Albion's scoring drive. Albion's offense ranks sec-ond only to Hillsdale in the confe-rence. However s ta t i s t i cs show that Hope is among the leaders in ground defense for the nation's small colleges, allowing only a shade over ninety-five yards on the ground to their opponents each game. Hope's pass defense has sparkled consistently too this seas-on. In addition Hope has held its MIAA opponents to 28 points in five games. Hillsdale leads in this department , surrendering 27 points. The Briton defenders have per-formed almost as well, 45 points being scored against them. There is every indication tha t the game will be another low-scoring, close-ly fought contest r ight down to the final gun. Last year, Hope edged Albion in a thriller, 18-13.
