Nykerk "Battle" Tomorrow Night by Carol Luth

The twenty-second annual Ny-kerk Cup Contest will be held No-vember 15 at 8 o'clock in the Civic Center.

Up until 1936, the counterpart to the pull was a touch football battle between the Sophomore and Fresh-man girls. In 1986, however. Dr. J. B. Nykerk, head of the speech department proposed a new and more feminine competition consist-ing of three events — a dramtic production, a musical number and an oration. Since that time Ny-kerk Cup has become a tradition for the entire college which is met with anticipation and enthusiasm each year.

The cup itself would have many stories to tell if it could speak. Tales of dramtic ad-libs, victory parties at Fricano's, and the loving affection of the winning class. It may have its battle scars, but the Nykerk Cup still reigns supreme!

May the best class win!

Fried to Attend Nat'l Conference

Dr. Paul Fried, Professor of History, as one of five delegates from the Reformed Church in Am-erica, will attend the Fif th World Order Study Conference in Cleve-land November 18-21. He is also scheduled to participate November 17 as a guest consultant in the Eighth Annual Assembly of the Division.

The theme for this National Con-ference on the Churches and Inter-national Affairs is CHRISTIAN RESPONSIBILITY ON A CHANG-ING PLANET. Six preparatory study commissions have prepared reports on subjects of theological and moral considerations, the power struggle and security in a Nuclear-Space Age, overseas areas of rapid social change. Interna-tional institutions and peaceful change, and international relation.

The 1958 meeting will convene in Cleveland. Periodically since 1941 representatives of the member churches have met in national study conferences such as this to consider work in international af-fairs .

Speakers to the conference in-clude John Foster Dulles, Secretary of State; Thomas Finletter, former Secretary of the Air Force; and Dr. Ralph W. Sockman of the Christ Methodist Church in New York City.

In appointment of delegates, each denomination and church council was asked to recommend individuals who would take an ac-tive part af ter the Conference in the nation-wide program of educa-tion and action for peace. Plans for this envision the organization of state and local leadership train-ing conferences and study pro-grams in every local church.

The National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A. has called this national study con-ference to consider crucial ques-tions of Christian fai th and respon-sibility in this time of changing world relation. The Conference will speak not only for itself, but will present its findings to the General Board of the National Council of Churches for fur ther consideration.

The freshmen p lay cast d i rected by Greta Weeks conclude their two

week practice sessions tomor row morn ing pr ior to the contest.

Four Debators Participate In Practice Tournament

Four members of the Hope Col-lege debate team attended a prac-tice debate tournament Monday, November 10, at Calvin College.

The debate proposition was: "Re-solved: That the Further Develop-ment of Nuclear Weapons Should be Prohibited by International Agreement."

Paul Lydens, a junior from San-dusky, Ohio, and Dennis Hengeveld, junior from Grandville, debated the affirmative. Richard Hertel and Larry Dykstra, both Holland jun-iors, debated the negative.

Teams from Calvin, Alma Col-lege, and Bowling Green State Un-iversity in Ohio participated in the tournament. The first debate was held at 4:30 and the second at 7:30 in the Seminary Building on the Calvin campus. All participants had dinner in the Commons between rounds.

The debates were non-decision— however, a f te r each debate the judges presented a brief oral crit-ique. Coaches of the four schools served as judges.

This is the first year of inter-collegiate debate for Lydens and Hengeveld; Hertel and Dykstra were members of Calvin's debate team prior to their t ransfer to Hope this fall.

The debate coach for Hope Col-lege is Mr. Robert Smith, who re-cently joined the faculty at Hope as Instructor of Speech.

Forensic Mag Praises Hope Oratorical Record

For the last two years Hope College continued its record in oratory by winning first place in the Men's division in both of the Oratorical Leagues of which it is a member.

With his oration entitled "Per-son to Person," George Worden was awarded first place on Febru-ary 9, 1957, in the contests of the Michigan Intercollegiate Peace As-sociation, and on February 6, 1958, Ron Chandler won first place with his oration "The Quest f o r Peace." In 1956 to 1957, Mary Ann Klaar-en placed second in the Women's division; in '57 to '58, Marianne Hageman won first place. In pre-vious contests, Nathan Vander Werf placed first in 1956, Darlyne DeTuncq first in 1954 and Guy Vander J a g t first in 1953.

On March 1, 1957, Robert A. Winter won first place a t Wayne University in the annual contest of the Michigan Intercollegiate Speech League, and in '57-'58 George Worden won first place with his oration, "The Publican." This s ta te organization, composed of 14 member schools, has con-ducted contests f o r men for 61 years and 51 fo r women. In the history of these contests Hope's men ora tors have established the enviable record of having won first place 15 times, second place 7 t imes and third place 10 times. Hope women orators achieved 9 firsts, 11 seconds, and 8 third place rankings.

The record since 1950 has been as follows. In tha t year Mary Houtman won first place; in 1951

Guy Vander J a g t won first f o r the men. The next year Roy Adelberg won third in the men's and Mar-gare t Feldmann won second in the women's contest. In 1953, 1954, 1955 D o n Lubbers, B r u c e Van Voorst, and K. Don Jacobusse won firsts for the men, the only t ime in the 60-year period when the same school won first three consecutive years. In 1956 Nell Salm won first in the women's contest. By George Worden's victory this year, Hope college has won a first place in either the men's or the women's division for six consecutive years.

Last year George Worden, repre-senting the state of Michigan in the contests of the In ters ta te Ora-torical Association, won first place in the national contest, the second t ime in Hope's history this has oc-curred. The first t ime occurred in 1916 when the late George Stein-inger won. The In te rs ta te Orator-ical Association, organized in 1871, is the oldest such speech associa-tion in the country. Such well-known historical personages as William Jennings Bryan, Albert J. Beveridge, and Robert Marion La-Follette have spoken fo r their schools during the long history of this association.

This remarkable oratory record on the par t of Hope College is a t r ibute to the late Dr. John B. Nykerk who was in charge of Hope's orators until his death in 1936. Since 1939, Dr. William Schrier, chairman of the Speech Department, has served as director of oratory. The Forensic, October 1957, pp. 16-17.

DePree, Brown Featured Soloists At Orchestra Concert Last Evening

The Hope College orchestra, con-ducted by Dr. Morette Rider, pre-sented it first public concert on Thursday evening, November 13 a t 8:15 p.m. in the Hope Memorial Chapel. Featured soloists of the evening were two senior voice majors f rom the class of Norma Hark Baughman, Ann DePree and Harley Brown, who sang the pop-ular duet, "Dite alia giovine" f rom Verdi's "La Traviata ."

The major work fo r the evening was the performance of the com-plete symphony No. 2, the "Ro-mant ic" by the American composer Howard Hanson. Dr. Hanson, in addition to his role as one of the United States ' most respected com-posers and conductors, is head of the Eas tman School of Music of the University of Rochester.

The symphony was first perform-ed on November 28, 1930 by the Boston Symphony under the baton of Serge Koussevitsky. I t is a significant work in t ha t it uses modern harmonies and style, yet follows the general plan of the composition used by B r a h m s , Tschaikovsky, Rachmaninoff and the other late Romantic composers. The symphony provides contras t between sections of massive har-mony and smoothly flowing melo-dy.

Other works performed included the "Short Overture to an Unwri t -ten Opera" by Don Gillis based on ideas taken f rom American jazz and the "Steppes of Central Asia" by Alexander Borodin.

The H o p e College orchestra, which numbers more than 60 play-ers, has long been a member of the American Symphony Orchestra League. The orchestra has recent-ly become a part icipat ing orchestra in the Michigan Civic Orchestra Association.

Language Laboratory Improvements Planned

Mr. E. F. Gearhart , chairman of the Hope College German Depart-ment, announced today tha t the Language Depar tment at Hope plans to make several improve-ments in their language laboratory during the coming Thanksgiving recess.

Hope to Host Mid-West Educational Conference Next Spring

Educators f rom various schools throughout the Middle West will assemble on the Hope College Campus in late spr ing to discuss the various aspects of a foreign language program fo r the elemen-tary grades.

Since early fall a committee, consisting of members of the Hope facul ty and administration, has been prepar ing for the two day conference. Tentat ive plans have been formulated.

On Friday, April 30, a morning registrat ion is planned with a wel-coming address by Dr. Lubbers in the afternoon. At this time the president of Hope will introduce the main speaker, Walter Scott. Saturday, May 1, will fea ture panel discussions and periods for ques-tions and answers.

Students f rom elementary schools that have been participating in the foreign language program will pro-vide demonstrations of their ac-complishments. The purpose of this conference is to acquaint educators with the program and show the progress that has been made with this type of education in the Hol-land elementary schools.

of a religious d rama repertoire group became more of a reali ty last Thursday night a f t e r discus-sion a t the regular Pale t te and Masque meeting.

The need fo r such a group has been fel t in the speech depar tment due to the pressure of local or-ganizations. These organizations of ten desire a religious dramat ic presentat ion fo r club meetings, es-pecially at such t imes as Christ-mas, Eas ter , and Thanksgiving.

Mr. Dale De Wit t of the speech depar tment outlined the founda-tion and requirements of such an organization. Af te r some pert inent discussion, the P. and M. members approved initiative plans and from these, f u r t h e r details will be ob-tained and presented.

The group, when organized, will become a sub-group of P. and M. The members of the repertoire group must be members of P. and M. in order to t ry out fo r member-ship in the new group. The number in the group will depend on the number of members in P. and M. This group will be only a small percentage of P. and M. members so as not to sap the s t rength of the parent organization.

According to present plans, f rom twelve to eighteen members will be chosen a t t ry-outs which were held this week. Plays will then be se-lected for scheduled performances. An evaluation will be held a t the end of the year to ascertain the value and effectiveness of the group.

Meet the Faculty Miss Jean Protheroe

"I jus t thoroughly love Hope College!" exclaimed Miss Jean Protheroe, ass is tant professor of English at Hope College when in-terviewed recently.

"I t takes a long time before one can really feel a pa r t of any unit ," she continued, "but the other facul-ty members have made a real effort to help me fit in and I enjoy the students very much."

Explaining tha t she hasn' t con-sciously evaluated the college, Miss Protheroe indicated that she was very impressed by the high caliber of work and the drive for excel-lence in all th ings a t Hope College. "The responsiveness of my stu-dents and their mastery of the basic fundamenta ls make my work very challenging," she added.

Miss Protheroe expressed ap-preciation of the quality of work done by the music and dramatic depar tment as well as the efforts of the football team. "I am jus t completely impressed by the An-chor," she also remarked, "and while I have had no journalistic experi-ence or t raining, I can appreciate the hours of real effort tha t must go into it ."

Miss Protheroe likes the quiet, small-town way of life Holland offers and feels life in a large city would offer too many " temptat ions" in the form of plays and other cultural activities. "I am intrigued with the dunes and beaches of Lake Michigan and the beautiful fall weather here," she interjected, "and I think t ha t the Lubber's beautiful home is one of the most outstanding in the community."

Summing up her feeling about Hope College, she repeated, "I still feel very new but I can sense Hope's high s tandards and I am glad to feel a pa r t of this institu-tion. During the entire t ime a have been here, my experiences have all been pleasant and my days full ."

Other Forms of Student Help Replacing Scholarships

College student assistance pro- tional method of s tudent help. g rams are in use throughout the country, and will become more popular and valuable as enroll-ments increase according to fac ts released to Hope by Dr. W. W. Hill, director of Division of Edu-cational Research and Services of the College Life Insurance Com-pany of America. Many of these programs are closely allied with those existing a t Hope.

One percent of the nation's col-leges and universities account fo r fifty percent of all the loans made to students by insti tutions of high-er education. Harvard led in the amount loaned in the school year with $825,000. The University of Michigan, Massachusetts Inst i tute of Technology and the University of Denver followed in t ha t order.

The largest number of loans, 3,621, was made by Michigan State. The University of Texas and Uni-versity of Florida were next high. At California Polytechnic College loans were made to 42% of the students and a t the University of Oregon to 38%.

Highest average loan was $612 a t M.I.T. The fou r year maximum loan varies f rom $200 a t the Uni-versity of Colorado to $3,000 a t M.I.T.

These loan activity figures are very significant, according to the survey. They clearly indicate, it s tated, the beginning of a trend away f rom scholarships, the tradi-

Scholarships, however, remain the present chief source of funds for students and the figures sug-gest tha t they will remain so for a long time to come.

At the University of Chicago, the number of scholarships award-ed was equal to 45% of the under-graduate enrollment. F i f ty - two percent of the graduate students a t this school were receiving fel-lowships.

P a r t time employment is another major means of s tudent assistance. Ohio State alone paid out more than $3,700,000 fo r all types of student services. Many Hope stu-dents are employed in this man-ner.

The study stated t h a t much in-terest surrounded the new Federal program enacted in the closing days of the las t Congress. Many observers believe tha t existing pro-grams, plus new planned programs, will adequately handle all needs and tha t the intervention by the Federal Government is not needed. Resistance to Federal programs centers around fea rs t ha t such as-sistance will lead to dangerous controls.

Other students of the problem feel t ha t the financial needs of both the students and the colleges in the surging enrollments t h a t will characterize the decade ahead can be met only by large-scale Federal expenditures.

A New Organ — For the Music Department, Not the Pre-Meds

by James Michmerhuizen Most of Professor Rietberg's

organ students, I am sure, experi-enced a certain vindictive pleasure upon finding this semester tha t the night-marish old Wurli tzer practice organ was gone. Formerly residing in the tower of the chapel, it was moved to the music building upon the completion of tha t worthy edifice, and stayed there for two years to plague organ students with its bargain-basement-accordi-on tone.

I ts place has been taken by a small pipe organ which was in-stalled this summer; an organ which was built by the Kilgen organ company with only three ranks of pipes. Pipe organ com-panies began building small unified organs about twenty or thir ty years ago to compete with the much cheaper electronics. The sub-ject of this article, for instance, has short cuts all over — the six-teen foot pedal stop is synthesized f rom an eight-foot pitch and a soft vox humana quint. (I do regret that there is not space to explain this terminology to those of you who are not organ or physics stu-dents. Surely you have a fr iend among one or both of those g roups? ) Then there is also an oboe which is synthetic — the rest of the stops are simply obtained from the basic three ranks avail-able a t various pitches.

There is also a tremolo, which unfortunately does not confine it-self to merely vibrat ing the notes being played. I t affects the keys and even the organist — occasion-ally. No wonder organ playing is supposed to be so relaxing.

Personally, I'd as soon go home and sit in my electronic super-duper jet-propelled nuclear fission model vibrator chair. I think I will.

The International Association fo r the Exchange of Students f o r Technical Experience ( IAESTE) has been one of innumerable or-ganizations founded since World W a r II with a program with the objective of increased international understanding. The field of coop-eration here is science and techno-logy in the realm of education. American students have been tak-ing part in this program since 1955 through the Inst i tute of In-ternational Education, which serves as the secretar iat for IAESTE in the United States. IAESTE was founded in 1948 as a non-profit or-ganization by universities and in-dustries of nine Western European countries. Today, over 2,000 in-dustries in the 24 member coun-tr ies of IAESTE are providing training fo r nearly 6,000 visiting students f rom other member coun-tries.

What IAESTE does is give help to graduate students who will con-tinue their studies in science, en-gineering, architecture, and allied fields. This is accomplished by ob-taining summert ime on-the-job t ra ining fo r them with an indus-tr ial company in a foreign country. In the summer of 1957 a total of 5,934 students throughout the world engaged in this exchange program, which is an increase of almost six-and-a-half t imes the number of students who participated in 1948. This expansion of the program may be indicative of the benefits to be derived f rom it, both on the par t of the s tudent and on the par t of industry in general. In fact, the companies tha t part icipate find this program no hindrance to them at all, but ra ther the exchange stu-dents are known to do their jobs well, and they give the younger technical personnel of. the home plant a chance to exchange ideas with persons having a different training background.

The countries where the parti-cipating companies are located in-clude most of the European na-tions, plus Canada, Ceylon, Ice-land, India, Israel, the Union of South Africa, and the U n i t e d States. I t is a requirement to have a t least some knowledge of the language which is spoken where the student wishes to study.

From the student 's point of view there is much to be gained through the program tha t IAESTE offers. In a let ter sent to Dr. Paul Fried by the Inst i tute of Interna-tional Education, the secretary of the U.S. IAESTE Committee says, "This pas t summer 84 American students went abroad to gain an insight into foreign industrial and scientific methods, and to obtain a knowledge and understanding of the cultural pa t te rns of other na-tions. The reports received f rom the students who participated in the IAESTE program this year at-tes t to the value of the program." The student trainee will be ac-quiring theory and skill of tech-nique, but there are also many ad-vantages tha t an alert person will not pass by. For example, if the student is going to live with a for-eign family for eight weeks, he will certainly learn much about the cus-toms and morals of people in a cul-ture different f r o m his own. Stu-dents who have participated in the exchange program seem to place an emphasis on what may be call-ed the intangible benefits of such an exchange. One student trainee.

placed in Germany, stressed the fac t tha t he gained valuable lan-guage experience as well as get-t ing to know and bet ter understand a people of a different background. This same trainee also said, "I saw my country through the eyes of another people, and this not only made me appreciate what it means to be a citizen of the United States, but also made me appreci-ate tha t many of today's interna-tional problems are the result of ignorance and misunderstanding which can only be alleviated through education and extended contact between the peoples of different nations." Of course the prime purpose of the program—the valuable training being acquired to add to the potential engineer's or scientist 's well-rounded back-ground—must not be put out of sight.

The actual exchange of students is only guided and directed by the IAESTE. It is up to the individual student to pay his t ransportat ion and living expenses. The student may choose the country in which he wishes to work and IAESTE will make the necessary contacts with a company he can be placed in. The company where he is to work will pay a maintenance al-lowance which is sufficient to cover expenses while working.

American industries and univer-sities, however, have played only a minor role in the IAESTE pro-gram compared to the active parti-cipation of the European countries taking par t in the program. Last summer, when the U.S. was repre-sented by 84 students, Great Brit-ain was represented by 784 stu-dents, Sweden by 1,160, and Ger-many by 1,195 students. There is a g rea t desire on the par t of stu-dents in o ther , member ^ countries for t ra ining in the U.S., but since IAESTE is a reciprocal exchange program, the number of students placed in industrial firms abroad depends upon the number of for-eign trainees we can place in U.S. industry. The 84 American stu-dents who went abroad this past summer represented 60% of those who had applied. American in-dustries, due to professional or-ganizations which have urged an increased interest in the program, have now begun to participate more actively, so tha t our coun-try may soon play a pa r t compar-able to the par ts played by Ger-many, Sweden, Great Britain, and other European nations.

Students selected for this unique program must be highly qualified, both scholastically and character-wise. Applications will not be con-sidered unless the prospective trainee is endorsed by a designated faculty member responsible for seeing to it tha t only superior stu-dents participate in the exchange program. Hope College, in the summer of 1956, was represented by Dave Van Eenenaam and Larry Lup.

Any Hope students interested in this international program for stu-dent exchange should speak with Dr. Fried as soon as possible. No applications will be accepted by IAESTE a f t e r January 1, 1959.

Religious Emphasis Week . . . . Successful . . . . If Personal

Next week a series of events will occur which have become t radi -tional and basic to the atmosphere of Hope. Undoubtedly Religious Emphasis Week is an indispensable pa r t of the year ' s activities, but it can not become truly meaningful until it becomes personal. The plans fo r the week can be foolproof, the speaker excellent, but the real success of the week hinges on each individual's serious thought and active participation.

Religion has never been out of season. I t has never been de-emphasized — especially on Hope's Campus — yet, in the rush of college life, i t is so easy to let one's relationship with God become a static, languid thing. The opportunity offered by R. E. Week fo r discussion and meditation is not one to be brushed aside lightly. If one chooses not to become a par t of it, he sacrifices an experience vital to his life and outlook.

Many st imulat ing activities have been planned for the week, each with the potential of bringing God and man into proper perspective. But in the final analysis Religious Emphasis Week is what you will make it. Can you afford not to take advantage of the opportunit ies it offers?

—Sally De Wolf, f o r the Religious Emphasis Week Committee

An Important Role For Nykerk This is not a defense of the Nykerk Cup Contest, f o r it does not

need a defender. It is only because the Nykerk Cup could tell us much about its par t in Hope's tradition but cannot, t ha t I am speaking fo r this battered relic.

I use the word tradit ion in i ts most advantageous sense; t ha t is, being composed of insti tutions like the Nykerk Contest which Hope College has adopted because it contributes to the cultural and educa-tional development of its young women and is not merely a meaning-less and repetitious rite. The Nykerk Contest serves to show tha t the f reshmen and sophomore women are interested in drama, oratory and choral music as supplements to their required academic subjects jus t as in their own way their fellow class men are willing to show they regard heaving on a rope in the mud as beneficial to the i r respective development.

Are a scant two weeks too much to spare in order to ga ther with classmates when they are united neither in dormitories, in sororities nor in dining halls? Is a bare hour or hour and a half a day fo r two weeks spent in practice going to ruin one's study habi ts? Is a poor or non-existant voice any excuse fo r avoiding contact with one's class-mates in a project tha t is enjoyable and gives one a feeling of com-panionship and class loyalty?

This accomplishment of class spiri t is a ma jo r contribution of Nykerk, I feel. There are those who may say "So w h a t ? " to class unity and spirit but its slow development in the class of 1962 this year, many feel, was a loss both to our f r e shman and to the college. The "old" initiation, if nothing else, made f reshmen feel tha t upper-classmen noticed them and accepted them into the college community. This year the pull and Nykerk Contest alone are gaining notice and acceptance fo r the f r e shman and thus they take on added importance.

Learning can be gained by individual study but an education is complete only by companionship with others in a similar position. A college provides the environment where the personality develops along with a spirit of unity through companionship.

The re turns of two weeks invested in f r iendly interclass com-petition I feel are well spent when they contribute to the development of personality. This is the purpose of the Nykerk Cup Contest or you may be sure the Student Council would not sponsor its annual revival. The contest is only a waste of t ime when the part ic ipants fo rge t t ha t to ge t anything out of such ^n effort, a desire to contribute and a cooperative at t i tude must be given in return.

—C. A. R.

What Role Nykerk? From time to t ime, we find the tradit ions of Hope in terrupt ing our

schedule. Initiation, Homecoming, Nykerk, and the All College Sing are a few of the many activities regarded as essential to the Hope College Infallible Plan fo r Successful Living. As recent innovations on the initiation and homecoming programs have strengthened the Plan, I suggest tha t we extend the critical and constructive at t i tude toward our current project, Nykerk.

Nykerk requires t ha t ALL sophomore and freshmen girl practice either a song, usually in three par t harmony, an oration, or a play — approximately two hours a day — for two weeks. Nykerk has ob-trusively infiltrated the college routine which is already crammed with sleep, classes, meals and study — and must now be stretched to include two additional hours of sing practice.

Obviously, there is thought to be a need for this type of program — otherwise there would be no Nykerk. Equally obvious is the fac t tha t sing practices should not supersede study. The problem to be contended with then, is reconciling Nykerk and study.

One of the aims of Nykerk is to create a closer union among the girls of each class. If class spiri t is an integral par t of a dynamic campus, then Nykerk 's goals are valid. Class spirit, like Rome, how-ever, cannot be built in two weeks; a t least not when everyone is preoccupied with revamping his twenty four hour day. WAL and ASA could build the class unity without disturbing study routine and more effectively than does Nykerk!

Nykerk is also designed to provide an opportunity fo r "individual self-expression" through one oration, one play and one song. However, because of Hope's increased enrollment, self-expression is now limited to a few individuals. Large groups by their very size allow only a small proportion of people to play an active role. Organizations like debate and P&M (both almost disbanded last year due to lack of part icipants) provide much more opportunity for development to in-terested students than does Nykerk. As fo r three par t harmony, Hope boasts of voice classes, trios, and choirs needing st imulat ing members.

It is hoped tha t Nykerk will create a "spir i t" which will be applicable to "academic" life. It is thought that long rigorous hours of practice will prepare students fo r rigorous study habits. Can any-thing be more absurd? The mid-term marks will do this more effectively!

Nykerk has broken into the college routine. It has not s t rength-ened our Infallible Plan but has proven to be merely a weak combination of several watered-down themes. I t adds no special flavor to campus life but merely serves as a drain on college resources. Therefore, Ny-kerk should not receive our unflinching support. It should not even receive our benign tolerance. What role Nykerk You judge!

Letters to the Editor

Whoops . . . The Anchor regre t s tha t an accident which occurred while

the November 7 issue was being printed up resulted in the initials under each editorial being switched around.

Dear Edi tor : An editorial in your Anchor was

sent to me, one concerning., the merits of f ra te rn i t ies on the col-lege campus. The wr i te r calls on the non-fra terni ty men to shun the societies f o r a bet ter life, without commitments and obligations. I believe, although now an alumnus, that I was and still am a "mission-a r y " in spirit , since my four years a t Hope included fou r years in a "Boola-Boola" f r a t e rn i ty , and I shall forever maintain a resolute positiveness toward f r a t e rn i t y life and all the facets of it.

I would like to say this to any prospective pledge who should hap-pen to read this: Do not be influ-enced by this warped condemna-tion of an important par t of your college life. This exper t on f r a t e r -nity life is a person who has had a direct association (and part ial a t that) with jus t ONE f ra te rn i ty , and because of his disappointment, which is only too obvious f r o m his verbal a t tack, he feels it is his duty to lead others away f rom the isolation and coldness of a f r a t e r -nity, where you ei ther "a re" or you live with the coathangers. Sounds like a precarious si tuation to be faced with, does i t no t?

Being in intimate contact with does not cut you off f rom the rest of the campus men, (and let us not fo rge t the women) unless, of coure, you make it a point to do this yourself. One of my best fr iends a t Hope was an Indepen-dent.

Why cannot a person feel tha t his group is bes t? Where would we be in this world without com-petitive spir i t and close coopera-tion in a t ta in ing prescribed goals? There is none of this in Russia, so a f t e r leaving the rosy world a t Hope should we all pack a bag and seek asylum with the rest of the souls who breathe in rhy thm there ?

So, why not get the missionary spirit and enjoy college life, m e n ? You will probably enjoy it.

With sincerest good wishes to

all f ra terni t ies f o r a successful rushing campaign and many more

good years as upstanding societies purpose has been kept in mind and a t Hope College, I remain,

Yours Truly, Gordon Meeusen, '57

Dear Editor, Though somewhat exaggerated,

the a rguments in your editorial, "Do You Really Want to Join," point up certain questions tha t are being asked in the minds of many dissatisfied f r a t e rn i t y members. Too often, the pressure to conform results in the suppression of these feelings of dissatisfaction. I t is unfor tunate tha t so many proud f ra t e rn i ty members consider the questioning of any aspect of f r a t e r -nity life to be a fo rm of disloyalty. If they did not, our f ra tern i t ies might be more a t t ract ive and come closer to filling the roles they should.

Pleasse withold my name. An Active F ra te rn i ty Member

Inquiring Reporter by Richard J a a r s m a

With the advent of the Nykerk Cup Contest the Anchor has taken upon itself once more to plumb the depths of the minds of the s tudents and find out the i r opinions on the value of it.

We passed around slips of paper with the following question on i t : of what value is the Nykerk Cup Contest to College L i fe? Twenty of these slips were passed out and only five came back in any shape to be read. Thus our analyses of this question breaks down in this manner :

For : 2 Agains t : 2 Not Sure: 1 Lost slips: 15 Following are some of the com-

ments about Nykerk Cup Contest: Chuck Lemmen: The value of

Nykerk is not to "college life", unless maintenance of class spirit is a significant contribution to tha t life, but to the individual student and his development as a confident social being through performance before an audience and in competi-tion, unless, again, the effort spent in preparat ion fo r his performance is not justified by the experience."

Shirley Doyle: "With the ex-ception of the orations, I would suggest tha t the forced benefits of Nykerk are overshadowed by the value of t ime."

Wal ter Francke: " I feel tha t Nykerk is a significant contribu-tion to college social l ife, and think that it promotes class spirit, be-tween the Freshmen and Sopho-mores."

John de Jong : "I 'm all fo r it ." Chuck Hesselink: "Let ' s look a t

it this way. As we all know, Ny-kerk was founded to serve as a substitution fo r the rougher fo rms of competition tha t the girls had. However, I do not think tha t this

merely ask the question, 'Does it still serve the same purpose as be f o r e ? " '

Spice and Crumbs by Richard Jaarsma

Now tha t the re turns are all in and the victory champagne all gone (If not gone, very stale), let us go you and I (direct quota-tion f rom Eliot's "The Love Song of J . Alfred Pruf rock") into the never never land of criticism and see if we can't help the politicians run their campaigns a little better.

One of the t rademarks of a good election day is tha t the people must be fed fac ts all day long, no ma t t e r how inconsequential they may be. This serves to create an a tmosphere of nervous tension and helps immensely in fooling the people into thinking t ha t by just pulling a lever they are electing somebody into office. But I will ask the radio announcers to tone down the dull reading of election re turns in Wards 6 and 7, just a bit. One need not, it seems to me, present these figures as though one were reading an account of the bat t le of Gettysburg. Maybe it is exciting, but I can't quite share the pulsat ing feeling of d rama of which the announcers speak. Per-haps I am out of tune with mod-ern life and, perhaps too, it is merely the fact tha t it is not ex-citing, no mat te r what tone of voice it is delivered in.

Why must television announcers pick the busiest par t of the studio in which to do their analyses of the r e tu rns? There they go trip-ping over cords s t rung will-nilly over the floor; stepping into pails of wa te r lef t there by the cleaning

lady; and yet above all the uproar

tha t seethes around them telling

us tha t a major upset is seen in

the victory of Brillings over Wenk-

ing in the Kankakee primary. I t

hardly seems worth the effort and

we hope he will perhaps trip and

fall with his head in the bucket,

rendering him insensible.

And how about the acting per-formances of the defeated candi-dates who want to wish their vic-tors a happy time in office. Must they smile so sweetly when it is apparent to all the world, except their followers, tha t they do not mean a thing they are saying ? The only example tha t comes to mind r ight now is Averell Harriman, his political career washed up, tell-ing a jam-packed house that he is happy about the fact tha t Rocke-feller beat him. I couldn't do it, and it must take an awful lot of gri t , al though I personally feel that if he would have growled in-to the camera a lot more people would believe him. Please, Ave, let's be human!

This in a way wraps up our little analysis of whatever we were ana-lyzing. I hope that the politicians will take my comments to hear t and tha t the next time we have an election it will be a quiet well-ordered thing, and won' t break in-to my watching of the George Goble show. No, I didn't vote either. I was too busy listening to the returns come in.

The new men's dormi to ry Kol len Hal l was erected in 1955 to house

three hundred students.

Kollen Hall by Sally

One of the most recently built and modern buildings on Hope's campus is Kollen Dormitory. This completely new men's dormitory was completed in late summer of 1956.

Four firms bid fo r the construc-tion of Kollen Hall in October of 1955, and Elzinga and Volkers, of Holland, were awarded the con-tract.

In 1955, while the new dorm was being built, it became neces-sary to tear down the barracks housing married students, the Em-ersonian House and the school clinic building, to provide adequate space fo r construction of the dorm.

Houtman The school clinic was then moved to its present position on 12th and College and local housing was found for married students.

The Women's League of Hope College pledged to raise $50,000 to supply furnishings fo r the mil-lion dollar dormitory. I t was this and former pledges t ha t helped realize the promise of a govern-ment loan fo r completion of Kollen dorm.

The architect was Ralph Calder and the dorm is similar in design to Durfee Hall. Kollen dorm is L shaped, three stories high, and houses approximately 300 men in 150 modern rooms.

FRATERNITIES Arcadian

On Nov. 7, the Arcadian Fra ter -nity had a Smoker at the American Legion Country Club. Mr. Gear-hart spoke about the Counter In-telligent Corps, and the experiences he had while working for the C.I.C. The humor was presented by P. Koets and D. Nederveld. This eve-ning the Arcadian Fraterni ty will have a business and l i terary meet-ing in the Chapel basement, to which the Rushees are invited. Cosmopolitan

Friday, November 7, the Cosmos held their annual smoker to which all rushees were invited. Besides the usual at tract ions of cigars and refreshments , the guest speaker for the evening was Paul G. Goeb-el. Mr. Goebel was an "All-Ameri-can" football player and also for-mer mayor of Grand Rapids. He spoke informally about football and showed films of last year 's "All-American" football players.

Saturday the Cosmos and the rushees met at the house and went in a group to witness the Hope-Albion game. Af te rwards the group went to the house for a spaghett i and meatball dinner. The activities for the evening included an old fashioned hay ride and a square dance. Emersonian

A business meeting was held on Friday Nov. 7, a f t e r which actives and rushees with their dates square danced at the Women's Literary Club to the music of Claude Ketchum and Orchestra.

The Emmie house, which is al-ways open to rushees, was the scene of a coffee break and song fes t on Monday Nov. 10 and the traditional rushing Pizza Break held on Wed. Nov. 12.

This evening Rushees are invited to the formal l i terary meeting and smoker, 7:30 P.M. at the house. Fra ternal

"The Shipwreck Par ty , " held in Saugatuck, Michigan on October 31, included a show boat ride, beach party and music supplied by the "Dr i f t ing Rockets" a t the Am-erican Legion Hall. A dinner par-ty was held under the s ta rs at 8:00 PM in the evening.

Rushees are reminded that the final smoker will be held a t the house on Wednesday, November 19, 1958. Knickerbocker

This week again found KHN concentrating on its Rushing pro-gram. Wednesday night the usual Coffee Break was held with music by the Knick Combo and other en-ter ta inment furnished by Bob Mar-shall a t the piano.

On Friday a meeting began with devotions led by Paul Fell. Chuck Lemmen presented a serious paper and music was supplied by Pete Wehnau. Chuck Skinner with his "Eas te rn" humor then concluded the meeting.

The annual Knick Gold Rush Pa r ty was held on Nov. 7, 1958. The Last Chance Saloon was one of the main attractions. Here "Hope College rootbeer" was serv-ed in the atmosphere of the old boomtown saloon. Inside, enter-tainment was supplied again by the K n i c k Combo and by Win Burggraaff . Needless to say much gold was discovered by the rush-ees and their dates in the KHN mine shaf t .

Next week the Knickerbocker Fra tern i ty will hold its annual s t ag chow fo r the rushees and ac-tives.

Seven senior members of Hope's M I A A champ ionsh ip team p lay their f inal col lege game tomor row at Beloit.

Seven Seniors to See Final Action Tomorrow

Seven seniors on this year's once beaten football squad will close out their college football careers to-morrow afternoon against Beloit College at Beloit, Wisconsin.

For these men the gridiron has had its ups and downs. On the brighter side was the upset win over Hillsdale, snapping their string of 28 consecutive league victories, and also sharing of the conference championship with Al-bion and Hillsdale. It was the de-sire of the entire team to establish history with an undefeated and un-tied season, however, this bubble burst at the hands of the Albion College Britons last Saturday af-ternoon.

These boys will never again have a chance to attain this goal; however, they extend their best wishes to the Hope teams of the fu ture , in hopes that someday an undefeated season will be attained.

Interscholastic athletics have provided each of these men an op-portunity to exemplify and observe good sportmanship. As athletes they found that competition is a privilege that also carries with it definite responsibilities. They not only represented themselves but their school and community as well. It is on the basis of the foregoing thought that we want to congratu-late the entire squad and especially the graduating seniors for a job well done.

The seven Hope seniors are Ron Bekius, Bill Brookstra, "Tiger" De Witt , Jack Faber, Tom Miller, "Punch" Paarlberg, "Rocky" Ter Molen.

Women Suffer Hockey Loss

On Thursday afternoon the Hope Women's Field H o c k e y Team played the team of Kalamazoo Col-lege, losing 3-1 in a close contest. Captain and center, forward Anne Wiegerink scored the lone Hope goal on a penalty bully. Start ing for Hope were Artel Newhouse and Pris Wubbels at wings, inners Jean Schregardus and Carolyn Scholten, and center Anne Wieger-ink in the forward line. In the backfield were halfbacks Shari Crawford, Helen Beinert, and Jacque Zellweger; fullbacks, Nancy Guldenschuh and Jan Owen, and goalkeeper, Sandy De Koning.

Also seeing action were Pat In-ardi and Carol Yonkers in the for-ward line and Marcia Baldwin, Ula Oosterbaan, and Louise Hunter in the backfield.

Hope Runners Blanked by Albion

Hope's Cross Country team suf-fered defeat at Albion last Satur-day at the hands of a well-balanced Albion Briton team. The Britons took the first seven places, notch-ing a 15-50 win.

Jim Taupe of Albion led the field in coming in first. Roland Schut was the first Hope runner to cross the finish line. Hope now has a 3-3 league record and will conclude the season on Nov. 12 at Hillsdale when they will partici-pate in the Conference meet.

HOPE UPSET 18-13

Hope College's football team re-luctantly shares the MIAA cham-pionship today, and is looking for-ward to stopping Beloit tomorrow, so as to salvage what still could be the best season in Hope's^ history.

Mired in the mud of Alumni Field in Albion are Hope's dreams of a perfect season and an outright championship. It was the Flying Dutchmen's first defeat in eight games and left Michigan without a single unbeaten college squad.

Now Hope must share the cham-pionship with Albion and Hillsdale, the first triple in the conference's 50 year history.

It was Albion's day all the way. They were steamed up to the high-est peak of the season, scored first and were in control most of the afternoon. While Albion's gallant defensive platoon and the mud checked the league's toughest ground unit, the Britons themselves moved the ball for 208 yards through the steady downpour.

Jim Kreider intercepted a Paul Mack pass on the Hope 46 to set up the first touchdown. Quarter-back Tom Dewey hit end Tom Taylor for two passes good for 28 yards to the Hope 16. On fourth down and six, Don Van Gilder threw a running pass to end Garth Rickey for the touchdown. Bob Friberg's point at tempt was block-ed.

Hope took the following kickoff and marched 63 yards in 17 plays for their first score. Paul Mack sneaked over from the one for the touchdown. Bill Huibregtse con-verted to give Hope a 7-6 lead.

Senior Fullback Ron Bekius, the lone Hope back to come out on the

long end of the rushing ledger did most of the work in the drive. He carried seven times for 32 yards and nabbed a fourth down pass for 13 yards to the Albion 121.

Early in the second period Rex Harkness, a defensive end for Al-bion, knocked1 the ball out of Mack's hand as he went back to pass, and Larry Leak, who played an outstanding game at guard for Albion, fell on the ball for the Britons on the Albion 45.

Two plays moved the ball nine yards to the Hope 46. Mike Stone, sophomore speedster, found a hole at left guard and streaked 42 yards to the Hope four yard line. The Hope line held for three downs but on the fourth Van Gilder bulled over from the one and Albion car-ried a 12-7 lead at half-time.

Neither team scored in the third period but a 75 yard sprint by Van Gilder to Hope's 2 yard line was wasted as the Hope defensive unit rose to the occasion and held for four straight plays.

Albion scored its last touchdown with 2:12 left in the final quarter. Albion got the scoring break when Hope gambled on a fourth down and lost possession of the ball deep in its own territory. Van Gilder scored this time on a six yard end sweep three plays later. The pass for extra point fell incomplete.

Hope took the kickoff, moved the ball quickly to mid-field and earned its final touchdown on a 50 yard pass play. Jack Faber to Ron Bron-son. The on side kick attempted by Hope to regain the ball failed and then the Dutch had to stand by and watch helplessly as the Britons ran out the clock.
