Her record spoke for itself, and she had no apologies. In paying tribute to her memory we can, then, try to set down what she be- lieved; the record may be allowed to speak for itself. As a teacher. Dr. Hawkinson be- lieved that the student should be curious about the why of things. She wished to provide him with the tools for seeing the historical process at work. Not a textbook teacher by nature, not a lecturer by choice, she asked questions. Probing the origin of the contemp- orary in the ancient, she suggested readings on conflicting ideas. She was less concerned with stocking the mind than with awakening thought. As Head of the Department of History and Political Science, Dr. Hawkinson believed that the mem- bers of the department should evolve together in conference the whole cycle of history offerings. She was especially concerned with the evaluation of and planning for DR. HAWKINSON the freshman program. Freshmen interested her most, for with them, she believed, the foundation for critical and creative thinking is laid. As a counselor. Dr. Hawkinson believed that the faculty member is ethically obligated to advise the student to take the highest and Faculty Personnel Increased by Four The faculty of Hope College has been increased by the addition of two new professors and the return of others from graduate school. Charles Lininger has been appointed instructor in economics; Mrs. Barbara Wilson will become an instructor in psychology. Professors Henry Ten Hoor and Harry Frissel have also returned from graduate study. Charles Lininger has been appointed instructor in economics and comes from a similar position at Hobart College, Geneva, New York. Mr. Lininger received his bach- elor's degree from Hobart College and has done graduate work at the University of Chicago. He will give some assistance in the instruction program and will assume a major part in the research Hope is un- dertaking for the Michigan legis- lature. Mrs. Barbara Wilson comes as an instructor in psychology; she will relieve Professor Granberg of several courses in order that he may devote more time to the study for the Ford Foundation. Mrs. Wilson received her M. A. from Temple University and was an as- sistant in their psychological test- ing bureau. She was both an in- structor and dean of women at Roanoke College, Roanoke, Vir- ginia. For a year, Mrs. Wilson held the position of consulting psychologist and counselor at the Light House, New York Associa- tion for the Blind. Ten Hoor, Frissel Return Professor Henry Ten Hoor of the English Department has returned from graduate studies at the Uni- versity of Michigan. He passed his language and preliminary ex- ams for the Ph.D. during the sem- ester. Since he has completed the course requirements, Professor Ten Hoor must write a dissertation be- fore obtaining his doctorate. Professor Harry Frissel has just completed two and one-half years of graduate work at Iowa State University. He studied under a re- search assistantship from the Atomic Energy Commission and should complete his Ph.D. in nu- clear physics this summer. Be- sides teaching several courses, Pro- fessor Frissel will be in charge of construction of the proposed cyclo- tron.

He is visiting our campus as a member and coordin- ator of the North Central Associa- tion Study of Liberal Arts Educa- tion. Hope College, among seventy- five other colleges, has been a par- ticipant in this study for the last six years. Several members of Hope's faculty have attended the summer workshop for this study — Dr. De Graaf, Professor Vander- Borgh and Dean Hollenbach. In ad- dition to this, Dean Hollenbach has recently been one of the seven Association co-ordinators. Professor Davis is here to dis- cuss various views of our college program, and to meet with several faculty and student groups in an analysis of liberal arts education. WANTED!

Mr. Wade, formerly pro- prietor of a local pharmacy on Eighth St., and most recently af- filiated with Parke-Davis, also of this city replaces Wayne Tripp, who will devote his full time to studying for the ministry at West- ern Seminary. Enrollment Down The latest figures from the Registrar's Office show that the total enrollment this semester is 784 students as compared to 843 at the start of last semester. There are 22 new students which includes several who dropped out previous semesters but have now returned. In looking at the figures more closely, we see that the enroll- ment has declined noticeably from last year even though the frosh class has 260 members. One re- markable coincidence is that both the junior and senior classes have the same enrollment. There are 7 students here from the Netherlands and a total of 33 foreign students representing 20 countries, while 21 states are repre- sented on Hope's campus. Though the great majority of students are members of the Reformed Church, there are approximately 47 faiths represented here. Religious Emphasis Speaker Chosen Rev.

THE YXS NEED YOUR HELP The last Anchor contained an in teres t ing editorial . The t h r u s t of

it was tha t somebody ought to do something about ge t t i ng ice and snow off the s idewalks and outdoor s ta i r s on campus so as to make walking less hazardous . I t seems unlikely tha t anyone would quarre l wi th the objectives of t h a t edi torial . Never theless it contained a

d i s tu rb ing but r a t h e r f ami l i a r note. Tha t i t is p r imar i ly the re-sponsibili ty of the college admin is t ra t ion to keep the s idewalks clear

of ice is not par t icu lar ly a debatable point. But the tendency to feel t ha t somebody else ought to do something about this problem is de-ba tab le and symptomat ic of an a t t i tude which has grown to a l a rming propor t ions in our country. P h r a s e s such as " they ought to clean up t h a t 'mess in Washing ton ' " or " the government ought to tend to i t" a re common expressions of the pernicious a t t i tude tha t if something

is wrong then somebody else ough t to fix it up.

I t has become an exceedingly t ired t ru ism tha t the best way to set r i gh t what needs se t t ing r i g h t is to pitch r igh t in and do whatever

you can yourself . Dis t r ic t A t to rney Miles once commented in an ad-dress on the Chris t ian as a cit izen, t h a t the "mess in W a s h i n g t o n " would be most pe rmanen t ly cleaned up when every citizen first entered actively into a campaign f o r clean government on the local level.

Similarly, if every citizen of the Hope College communi ty would feel responsible f o r helping keep the sidewalks and s ta i r s f r e e of ice and snow or f o r spread ing some abras ive over them, our s idewalks would

soon become, and remain, safe .

Which br ings us back to the point of th is edi tor ia l—our "Y's." Every now and then one overhea r s cri t icisms of these organizat ions ,

largely centered around the t ypes of p r o g r a m s they put on. Some of

these crit icisms a re much to the point; and as YMCA sponsor , I have tr ied to relay these to the cabinet . They have a lways received re-spect fu l hear ing, and, where feasible , the i r construct ive aspects have been worked into the " Y " p r o g r a m . The cabinets a re made up of an a le r t and receptive g roup of s tuden t s who a re eager f o r a n y sugges-tion which will make the Chr is t ian Associations a more effective force in deepening the spir i tual experience of our s tuden t s and enriching

thei r fellowship.

The principal advan tage of enter ing actively into the " Y " p rogram is t h a t you s tep f r o m the role of specta tor into t h a t of par t ic ipant . It is the desire of the Hope College facu l ty , adminis t ra t ion , and

t rus t ees t h a t all of our s tudents will become Chris t ian l eaders—tha t those who do not enter the Chr is t ian minis t ry will be act ive laymen

whose ta lents a re placed a t t he service of Jesus Chris t and His p rogram. You will never find a be t te r oppor tuni ty to develop your

t a l en t s f o r Chris t ian leadership than you a re provided in the " Y " programs . And these organiza t ions need your ideas, your enthus iasm, and your effor ts . If you a re s t ay ing away f r o m these organiza t ions because you do not like the way they are run, remember , the best way to get any th ing s t r a igh tened out is to s t a r t doing what YOU can about it.

Lars I. Granberg

INDIRECT CRITICISM ABHORRED Following publication of the pas t f e w issues of t h e Anchor,

much criticism of our campus ' bi-monthly journal is t ic o rgan h a s been procreated in the classroom by several of the p rofessors . This cri t icism has ranged f r o m the disapproval of choice in mate r ia l , both

subjec t and content , to the b i t t e r indictment of the g r a m m a r and l i t e ra ry skill utilized in wr i t ing these art icles.

If anyone has any commenta ry on the Anchor or i ts policies, the edi tors would apprec ia te h e a r i n g such opinions before they a re dis-tor ted by rumor . We welcome any and all cr i t icism, but p r e f e r being criticized to our face or by le t t e r . This organiza t ion is m o s t willing to consider any sugges t ions f o r change if they a re offered in a ra t ional and construct ive manner .

Crit ics a re also requested to keep in mind the f a c t t h a t journal-istic devotees on this campus a r e pract ical ly non-exis tent ; such being the case, t he Anchor staff is severely handicapped in edi t ing a paper equal in calibre to the New York Times or t h e Chicago Tribune.

A final comment : We real ize we have our own social and political prejudices.

IVHATS ON YOUR

MIND? There has been some discussion

on campus about merg ing the YM and the YW. Much can be said both pro and con but the f a c t still remains tha t f o r a church college the Y's haven ' t the sup-por t they should have. It is e i ther the f au l t of the Y p r o g r a m s or the competi t ive campus organiza-

tions. Several s tuden t s have ex-plained why they do not a t t end regular ly .

Bob Van Dyke: Special S tudent

I t is a m a t t e r of personal choice. You can ' t be act ive on all campus organiza t ions .

Joyce Vanderborgh : Junior .

Besides a m a t t e r of t ime it is the fac t t h a t only a few of the p r o g r a m s are appeal ing to me. When there is an in te res t ing event scheduled in Y, however, I do go and ge t a g r e a t deal out of i t .

Bob Muilenberg: Jun ior .

I t seems to be a p re - seminary organiza t ion and I was warned away f r o m it as a F r e s h m a n on

the grounds tha t it was boorish. I am now a Jun ior and my opinion has not changed.

Alyce Hi lmer t : Senior.

Al though I go occasionally I be-lieve tha t it is an organiza t ion which s tudents suppor t t h rough a fee l ing of obligation r a t h e r than

desire . Many meet ings seem to be too evangelist ic and suited to those go ing into fu l l - t ime religious work.

Bob Bedingfield: Sophomore.

The YM appeals only to a small g roup . Al though the last f e w meet -ings have been be t te r , usual ly they a r e ecumenical and formal ized . I t should be an organizat ion which

touches all classes of Chris t ian l ife —not one which is limited in scope.

Why mus t every s tuden t t ake the equivalent of an ent i re semes te r in a l anguage—Lat in , Greek, French, German or Spanish ? Does it

do any good? These quest ions rise immediate ly .

Pract ical ly speaking, m a n y s tuden t s will never benefit by l anguage

s tudy in the long run. There are those who have ne i ther the ap t i tude nor the desire to pursue such a course. Then why should they ? W h a t knowledge of a fo re ign l anguage or people will such a s tuden t ca r ry home a f t e r f o u r years a t col lege? Ought he remember somewha t of

the i r cu l tu re?

If cul tura l unders tand ing among nat ions be our objective, let us have courses in Ancient Roman or Contempora ry Spanish civil ization. " W e live in a shr inking wor ld ," is the cliche. "We mus t unders tand

our neighbors in the World Communi ty . " .

But what about speak ing the l anguage—or reading, or wr i t i ng? Can s tudents pronounce German or French correct ly, let alone c o n j u g a t e

a subjunct ive tense?

Wha t are our cr i ter ia f o r achievement in l anguage s t u d y ? And

where should we begin our approach ?

It is o f t en remarked by s tuden t s t h a t the i r diff icult ies wi th fore ign l anguages s tem f r o m a f u n d a m e n t a l ignorance of Eng l i sh g r a m m a r . A t this point we f r equen t ly propose to teach a compre-hension of Engl i sh t h rough the medium of ano the r l anguage . The f a c t

t ha t this approach o f t en succeeds is not an a r g u m e n t in f a v o r of the fore ign l anguage as much as a condemnat ion of our me thods of teaching Engl i sh .

This college recognizes t h a t f r e s h m e n usual ly a r r ive deficient in

the knowledge of Engl ish g r a m m a r . There fo re , a five-hour, first-year " g u t " course in g r a m m a r is offered. Why not use this first-semester Engl ish g r a m m a r course f o r a sp r ingboard into a second-semester , five-hour p r o g r a m in a fo re ign l anguage g r a m m a r ? A s tuden t can-

not compare an adverb in any l anguage until he knows wha t an adverb is, and how it is used.

How util ize the first s emes te r f o r l a n g u a g e ? Here let us lay our founda t ions fo r s tudy ing the l anguage , in a th ree -hour course, reviewing exclusively the cu l tura l , his torical , geographic and semant ic backgrounds of the l anguage and the people who speak it.

The advan tages of the subsequent five-hour second-semester course would be t he se : (1) Consis tent daily drill in g r a m m a r exercise and vocabulary, providing cont inui ty in s tudy, and necess i ta t ing f a i t h f u l

daily p repara t ion by the s t u d e n t ; (2) More oppor tuni t ies to amass la rger vocabular ies ; (2) Al lo tments of t ime for ora l drill, possibly with f requen t use of l anguage recordings, enabl ing s tuden t s to asso-ciate the spoken with the wr i t ten word.

Then w h a t ? Well, if a s tudent desires to minor or m a j o r in this language , let him continue t h rough a second year . But a d is in teres ted or inept s tuden t should not be asked to go f u r t h e r .

Language should be fo r those who take it voluntar i ly . " L e a r n i n g proceeds best when it is mot iva ted ," is a basic educat ional principle. Why teach l anguage with the a t t i t u d e : Here ' s someth ing you might be able to use—somet ime?

EVtHTJ t / T a k i n g a calculated d r a g off my

Vicks Inhaler , I moved across c a m p u s slowly and del iberate ly . A precocious blonde crossed my pa th sp read ing the a i r with e i ther per-f u m e or—she needed a ba th . Some-how she was d i f ferent looking—she had only one eye in the middle of he r forehead . H e r m o t h e r was scared by a S tudebaker . She cockec he r eye a t me. One re su l t—there she stood cockeyed. Beads of colc pe rsp i ra t ion danced across my b row; the way my s inus was kick-ing up, I 'm glad those beads weren ' t marching.

When she looked a t me again , my h e a r t s topped bea t ing I hac

to do someth ing—get an ambulance or a doctor. My mouth suddenly wen t dry , like the whole Russian

A r m y jus t marched t h rough i t . Then it hit me—Dutch T r e a t Week —she caught m y hand before I could plunge my f ingerna ly clip-pe r into her hea r t . " I w a n t you,"

she sc reamed; " I wan t my mothe r , "

cried I. The next t h ing I knew, I

was flat on my back wi th he r s tand-ing wi th one foo t on my s tomach, and as her hands thumped her chest , a most ghas t ly noise shrieked f r o m he r mouth . I begged, "Have mercy , T a r z a n ! "

H e r blonde h a i r was blowing in the wind, and t h e n she made me pick it up. My violent kicking didn ' t help as she t r i u m p h a n t l y car r ied me into Dur fee . "No , " I

sc reamed, "Not the D u m b - W a i t e r ! " Too la te . With a c reaking vibra-t ion, the c ramped e levator inched upward . The cables snapped a s I was approach ing the th i rd floor. Wi th a roar ing, rush ing noise, the e leva tor crashed in the basement . T h a n k heavens I got out a t the

second floor.

I had only one means of escape. I dashed into a room, went to the closet and pu t on a dress , hose, heels, and a flowered ha t . With the help of some Hazel Bishop and a half of a poof of S topet te ,

I ca lmly s t ru t t ed down the s ta i r s and out into the s t ree t via the f r o n t door. Cyclops never recog-

nized me.

I quickly hi t the s teet . This m i g h t be explained by the f a c t t h a t one of m y heels was stuck in a Man-Hole Cover. As I broke in fu l l gal lop' f o r my f r a t e r n i t y house, I heard a pedes t r ian say to h e r l i t t le child, "Look Junior , t he r e goes Je s se J a m e s . "

Pan t ing , I reached the sanct i ty

of the house. I strolled into the lounge. Twenty love-hungry men spot ted me, and a f t e r a m a s s f r e e -for-a l l , the victor claimed me as

the gi r l of his d reams . I vomited.

History of The Fraternal Society By Monte Dyer

"Be it hereby known tha t th is document was wr i t ten April 14, in the year of our Lord 1867 . . . . A pebble tossed by a careless hand into the s t ream, causes a ripple which widens and widens until i t wri tes in imperishable charac te rs upon the rocky shore , that it once existed. The acorn dropped by the way side may, fifty years hence, shel ter the weary t r ave le r . " This quotat ion is t aken f r o m the archives

of the F ra t e rna l Society and is signed and endorsed by the mem-bers of the society tha t was al-

ready 27 years old. The scene is set in the year 1834.

Picture now six men ga the r ing to-ge ther in Schenectady, New York, and busily working on a new or-ganizat ion which they are to call "Omicron Kappa Epsi lon" or the 4 4Fraternal Society." The fifth or-ganizat ion of i ts type in the his-tory of America had reached con-

ception. Who ever heard of f r a t e r n i t i e s ?

It was sheer heresay to a t t e m p t

such folly. A was te of t ime, a f ad , useless, were the many t e rms added to the actions of these men. But still they continued with de termin-ation to succeed in thei r objective and through pa infu l ridicule they

eagerly broke the ear th and im-

planted their small acorn, hoping beyond hope t h a t thei r hallowed

society would live and grow to be

a wide spreading Oak. They were re fe r red to, by the

scoffer, as the 4 4Fraters ," and Union College must have been in quite a controversy over these so

called "organizers . " A year passed, and then two.

The scoffer was quiet now, fo r the 4 4 Fra te rs" had planted the acorn well and now the sapl ing was in sprout . Maybe it was meant to be.

Transfer to Michigan The society grew and prospered

well, and by 1855 it had survived

the pa ins and impediments of in-fancy. A few shor t yea r s later, however, the nation was split in

twain, and " Y a n k e e " and 4rReb" fought the bloody Civil War . All of Amer ica suffered, and likewise did the colleges and the then few f ra te rn i t i e s . An impending cloud of cr is is swept over the F ra t e rna l Society and dissolution seemed per-ilously near. Dr. Phill ip Phelps, a F r a t e r a lumnus, who at the t ime was Pres ident of the Holland Acad-emy, which was l a te r to be known as Hope College, made plans to t r a n s f e r F r a t e rna l to Michigan. His ceaseless labors were well re-warded, and in 18(53 F r a t e r n a l came

to Holland, Michigan. F r a t e r n a l needed pioneers and

(lod g ran ted the society should have one in a s tudent named

Berend W. Kleis. It is wri t ten , " F r a t e r Kleis, the promis ing schol-a r who was especially endeared

to his associates f r o m his engag-ing and affect ionate disposition,

gave us s t r eng th tha t he himself lacked. Illness overcame his body and in the spr ing of 18(55 he aban-doned his studies. He took a sea-voyage to Cal i fornia hoping the salubious cl imate might res tore him. He lingered until the next December and died a s t r a n g e r in

a s t r a n g e land." Thus , t h rough the years , the

F ra t e rna l Society grew into a wide sp read ing Oak tha t h a s indeed shel tered many a weary t raveler .

Courageous and brave men nur-tured an organiza t ion which today rests unchallenged and girded wi th a Chr is t ian s t r e n g t h . F r a t e r s have carried the Amer ican honor through the Civil way, the Spanish-Ameri-

can War , World W a r I, World War 11, and the Korean War . Their voices cry out f rom the past , speak-ing louder than any words can, that we of today build and con-serve such Oak t r ee s of Chris t ian fellowship and brotherhood so tha t F ra t e r s , Arkies, Emmies , Cosmos or Knicks may never again be forced to spill t he i r blood upon the ear th in useless conflict.

And now, a f t e r one hundred and twenty years of l ife, the F ra t e rna l Society is ma tu red , wise, and stable. Let it be said tha t no act is t r i f l ing.

New Course Given This semes te r a new course.

it is not open to these people alone. It is a two-hour course.

are essent ial ly the main considera-tions of the wes tern powers as they go to Berlin. We a re there to ba rga in a Eu ropean Defense Communi ty aga ins t the possibil i ty

of f r ee , a l l -German elections. Elec-tions on this basis would require the eventual wi thdrawal of occupa-tion t roops f r o m all of German.

This has long been a pr ime object ive of Amer ican fore ign pol-

icy in Europe . We a re confident t ha t a f r e e Germany is a Germany tha t will s tand with the west. Russia is well a w a r e of this .

Key to the conference thus be-comes whether Russ ia considers the t h r ea t of EDC s t rong enough

to sacrifice the i r control of Wes te rn Germany.

Evidence of weakness in EDC, notably the fa l l of the I tal ian government and the precar ious position of France , prompted Molo-

tov to present his d r a f t f o r a German t r ea ty at the opening ses-sions of the conference. Wangl ing for suppor t he hinted to F rance tha t acquiescence might lead to be t te r re la t ions in Indo China. Thus f a r he has fa i led.

Out of this conference two th ings may now emerge .

Russ ia may consent to f r ee Ger-man elections, hoping t h a t the loss of Germany would be balanced by the show of good will, and break-down of EDC; or

Russ ia may r e f u s e Germany the elections, hoping t h a t in ternal f ac -tors make adopt ion of the EDC pact is possible. I t is more likely, though, t ha t th i s would nakedly reveal Russian adaman tnes s , and un i fy the wes te rn powers into pas-s ing the EDC t r ea ty .

This much is cer ta in . Which-ever a l te rna t ive Russ ia chooses, both the west , including specifically the people of F rance as well as f r ee people t h r o u g h o u t the world, will have final proof as to where the Malenkov gove rnmen t s tands . A much c learer bas is f o r policy fo r -mat ion must inevi tably emerge .

"The Royal Fami ly"

Next P & M Play

March 12, 13, 15, and 16 a re the p lay da tes f o r Pa l l e t t e and Masque 's sp r ing play The Royal Family by George K a u f m a n and

Edna Ferbe r .

The play is a t remendous ly inter-es t ing s tory of a g r ea t f ami ly of the Amer ican s tage . The Caven-dish fami ly comprises th ree gener-at ions. F i r s t t he re is F a n n y Cav-endish, wife of the deceased Aubrey Cavendish, " t h e first ac tor of his day" who a t seventy is p lanning her

tour f o r the coming season. There is he r bro ther , Herbe r t Dean, a pompous p layer now in his decline.

Jul ie , her daugh te r , is a t the crest of her ca reer as a Broadway s t a r . Tony, her son, having fo r saken the s t a g e f o r Hollywood, rushes home, only to flee to Europe to

escape the a t t en t ion of a Polish p ic ture ac t ress . Soon he is back aga in in New York, seeking r e f u g e f r o m - a lovesick Balkan pr incess . A g r a n d d a u g h t e r , Gwen, jus t build-ing into impor t an t roles, jol ts the f ami ly by m a r r y i n g a non-profes-

sional and f o r s a k i n g the s tage , bu t only t emporar i ly . Through it all, F a n n y Cavendish rules the house-hold wi th he r courage and sha rp tongue. Though her children a re idols to the public, they a re de-fenceless under the wi ther ing fire

of the old lady 's sarcasm.

T ryou t s f o r the play were held last week and Miss Van H a i t s m a m a d e the fo l lowing choices f o r the roles: in the leading p a r t s will be Ed Kel logg p laying the pa r t of He rbe r t Dean, Joyce Vanderborgh filling the role of F a n n y Cavendish, J e r r y Kruif t ak ing the role of Oscar Wolfe , a producer , Gwen being played by Hope Schu tmaa t , F ranc i s F r y e in the pa r t of Ju l ia Cavandish, and Don Prent ice un-de r t ak ing the role of Tony Cavan-dish. Other roles will be played by Tom Moore a s McDermot t , a t r a ine r , Norm Ra te r ing as Jo, a houseman, N ina DeMaagd a s Delia

the maid, B a r b a r a Brooks t ra as Ki t ty Dean, wi fe of He rbe r t Dean, and B a r b a r a Br inks as Miss Peake, a nurse .

The cast is a l ready rehears ing and the s t age crew, under the head of Gene Stoddard , is a l ready t r ans -fo rming a 19th century s i t t ing room to a modern par lor .

N e x t F r iday the cast f o r P&M's production of the Heiress will t ravel to Kalamazoo to give a request pe r fo rmance under the

Chapel Choir To Sing In

Festival The Hope College Chapel Choir,

under the direction of Dr. Robert Cavanaugh, will part ic ipate in the 1954 College Choir Festival to be held in the Grand Rapids Civic Auditorium, Thursday, February

25, 8:15 P.M. Sharp.

This is an intercollegiate Choral Festival with par t ic ipants f rom the Church Related Colleges of Michi-gan. The first such festival was held in Kalamazoo in 1952 with Kalamazoo College as the host. The 1952 fest ival was such a success tha t it was decided to t ry it again this year with the expectation that it will become a biennial affair .

Calvin College is host to the fest ival this year. Colleges partic-ipating are Albion, Alma, Emman-uel Missionary, Hillsdale, Hope and Kalamazoo.

Each choir will present a 10 minute program, and the massed choirs will sing 5 numbers, con-cluding with the Hallelujah Chorus f rom the "Mount of Olives."

The choirs will be accompanied by a 30 or 35 piece orchestra formed f rom nominations submitted by the directors of each college's orchestra.

Smarties Students of beginning psychology

at San Diego Sta te College (Calif.) were asked recently to write down what they considered to be their "most valuable asse t ." Two an-swered "intelligence" — and both misspelled it.

Recent heavy snowfalls in the Holland area prompted swarms of Hope College students to migrate with their toboggans to the hills adjacent to the American Legion Memorial Clubhouse on the old Zeeland Road. Just a few of their

numbers are pictured above.

Spirit of Saint Valentine Renewed Again Sunday The quaint custom of sending

valentines is so old tha t its origin has been lost in obscurity. Popular belief p re fe r s to ascribe it to the mar tyred St. Valentine, a Roman priest known fo r his grea t love and chari ty.

Legend has it tha t while St. Valentine was in prison await ing mar tyrdom he formed a f r iendship with his jai ler 's blind daughter , writ ing her a farewell message signed, "F rom your Valentino".

The good Saint never knew what he s tar ted. The custom of sending Valentines has spread f a r and wide and has continued in one form or another through the ages.

My personal experience with Valentine's Day s ta r ted back in the

(ACP)—Following are 15 easy ways in which to fail a course, as written by Jack Seward for the Oregon State Daily Barometer:

1. Enter the course as late as possible. By changing your mind about the curriculum after school starts, you should be able to avoid classes until the second or third week.

2. Do not bother with a textbook.

3. Put your social life ahead of everything else. If neces-sary, cultivate a few friendships in the class. Interesting con-versation should be able to drown out the noise of the lecture.

4. Observe how seedy those professors look and treat them

accordingly.

5. Make yourself comfortable when you study. If pos-sible, draw up an easy chair by a window.

6. Have a few friends handy during the study period so you can chat when the work becomes dull.

7. If you must study, try to lump it all together and get it over with. The most suitable time would be the last week of school.

8. Keep your study table interesting. Place photographs, magazines, goldfish bowls, games and other recreational de-vices all around you while studying.

9. Use mnemonic devices on everything you learn. Sil ce they are easy to forget, this approach prevents your mind from getting cluttered up with stale facts.

10. Never interrupt your reading by checking on what you have learned. Recitation is not very pleasant anyhow, since it shows up your deficiencies.

11. Avoid bothering with notebooks. If you plan to use one anyhow, so that you can draw pictures of airplanes dur-ing the lecture, try to follow the simplest arrangement: keep all the notes for a given day on the same sheet of paper.

12. Remind yourself frequently how dull the course is. Never lose sight of the fact that you really wanted to sign up for something else.

13. Review only the night before examination, and con-fine this to trying to guess what the teacher will ask.

14. Find out exactly when your final examination will be over so that you can plan to forget everything about the course at that moment.

15. Stay up all night before important examinations. You can spend the first half of the evening discussing your deter-mination to "bone" and the latter half drinking coffee.

first grade . I remember tha t the thrill of my day came with the valentine I received f rom the homely, freckled little boy who sat behind me. It consisted of a bit of embossed cardboard which de-picted a pink cherubic little porker. The verse read:

I love you little, I love you big.

I love you like A little f a t pig.

It was the most beaut iful th ing I had ever seen. In my ecstacy I didn't bother to be concerned about the Valentines of similar quali ty and sent iment which this young Romeo had sent to all the other little gir ls in my room.

Although poems are popular on Valentine's Day many valentines do not require verses to convey their message. A few choice words and an eloquent i l lustrat ion will do as well. Two years ago a received a par t icular ly vivid card f rom my employer, a rugged youngish bach-elor. The f r o n t of the Valentine depicted a human car icature of an engaging little mouse with soulful eyes and folded hands. The in-scription read simply, " I 'm carry-ing a torch fo r you."

With fluttering hea r t I opened

the card. On the inside the expres-sion had changed to one of fiend-ish glee and he was shooting an orange s t ream of fire f rom a blow-torch Sorrowful ly I de-cided t ha t the business world was not f o r me.

Ah, yes, Valentine's Day br ings back many poignant memories. I am eager to -discover what this year will br ing to me in the way of valentines for my book of mem-ories.

BOSWELL ON THE G R A N D TOUR—GERMANY AND SWIT-ZERLAND 1764 by Frederick A. Pottle

This four th volume of "The Yale Editions of the Pr ivate Papers of James Boswell" is the wonderful ly f resh and detailed journey of the exuberant Scot as he samples the dazzling court l ife in Germany. He relentlessly seeks out two of the grea tes t men in his day, Rousseau in Switzerland and Voltaire jus t across the border in France. In Berlin, where he settled for some weeks, he met with one of the f ew significant social fa i lures of his entire career. Professor Pott le has skillfully supplemented the Journal with brief introduction, explanatory footnotes and relevant let ters Bos-well wrote while in Germany and Switzerland.

ANTONINE LAVOISIER by Doug-las McKue D.Sc., Ph. D

McKue gives a very inspir ing biography of Lavoisier who was a scientist, economist, and social re-former . During the French Revolu-tion Lavoisier died an untimely and t ragic death. Str ipping chem-istry of its medieval her i tage, Lav-oisier showed t h a t air consisted of two gases, one-fifth oxygen; and discovered the na ture of combust-ion and respirat ion. Lavoisier may be regarded as the founder of America's g rea t chemical industry. The remarkable story of this re-markable man is here told for the general reader, in an author i ta t ive study, and wri t ten in an easy and enjoyable style.

NATIONAL A N T H E M S by Paul Nett le

Dr. Nett le 's pene t ra t ing study of the history, musical affiliation, and cultural significance of practically all the national an thems of the pas t and present is, as one l ibrarian put it, the answer to a " fe l t want ." It has the soundness of a scholarly reference work. NATIONAL AN-THEMS will be a godsend to many librarians, teachers, and students . It will be cherished by music and book lovers alike. National An-

thems, past and present , f rom all over the world can be found in

this book.

DAILY L I F E OF CHRISTIANS

by J. G. Davies

J . G. Davies applies the methods of the social historian, to the first five hundred years of the Church's development. With a solid back-log of research behind him, he focuses upon the customs and prac-tices of the ear ly Christ ians, and presents in six vivid, concrete bi-ographical por t ra i t s , the pa t te rn of their lives. The lives of these six memorable charac ters illus-t ra te the mode of living of the early Chris t ians f rom 200 A.D. to 435. The na r ra t ives are remark-ably vivid, and yet it is clear tha t Mr. Davies could point to contem-orary documents and authori t ies for all his s ta tements .

On his r e tu rn to England the Marxist fact ion hails him as a hero. Revenge For Love is an ut ter ly devasta t ing a t tack on the empty pretentiousness of the le f t -wing in-tellectual milieu of the 1930's.

Student Editors Objects Of Curiosity in Russia ( E D I T O R ' S N O T E : This is t he first in a ser ies of ar t ic les by

Dean Schoelkopf, edi tor of the Univers i ty of Minnesota Daily and one of seven Amer ican college edi tors jus t re tu rned f r o m a three-week tour of the Soviet Union.)

( A C P ) — T h e first Russians I saw were soldiers. Six of them—all a rmed—cl imbed aboard our plane a s soon a s it landed in Leningrad

a i rpor t . A senior l ieutenant of the Red a r m y marched f o r w a r d in the

plane and looked quizzically a t the seven Amer ican s tuden t s dressed in s t r a n g e f u r r y caps and coats. He raised his r igh t hand in sa lute and addressed f o u r or five sentences in Russian to the o ther passengers .

Then he tu rned to us and said in Engl ish , " P a s s p o r t s . " A f t e r we had showed him our visas, the o ther five soldiers s tepped aside to let

us leave the plane.

We stepped into the chilly, three-

above-zero wea the r and were met by a young, Engl i sh-speak ing of-

ficial of Intour is t , the official Rus-sian t ravel agency. He welcomed us to the Soviet Union and told us we would be met in Moscow by other Intourish representa t ives .

But the w a r m t h of his reception didn ' t e rase the apprehension we had when );he six soldiers boarded our a i r c r a f t . The s t r a n g e welcome was bu t the first of m a n y unusual

s i tua t ions we were to encounter .

Dur ing the next 22 days in the USSR, we were to t rave l more than 5,000 miles by air , t r a in and

car . We were to ta lk to s tudents in the i r schools, workers in the i r fac tor ies , f a r m e r s in the i r homes and di rec tors and m a n a g e r s in the i r offices. Dur ing t h a t t ime we de-tected absolutely no fee l ing of hos-t i l i ty to us personal ly .

E a r l y in our t r ip , one of the two in t e rp re t e r s who t ravel led with us th roughout the count ry asked us why we had come to Russia. We told him the answer was simple. E a r l y last fa l l a f e w Amer ican college edi tors met a t a s tuden t p ress convention ( the A C P con-

ferences in Chicago) and decided they wanted to see this country , so l i t t le understood in the United Sta tes .

We applied to the Soviet embassy in Wash ing ton f o r visas, and wi th-in th ree weeks Moscow gran ted permission. The Amer ican s t a t e de-p a r t m e n t issued passpor t s Dec. 23, and on Chr i s tmas day we boarded a plane f o r Russia.

S tudents a t Stalin Univers i ty in Tbilisi asked us who was pay ing f o r the t r ip . When we told them we financed the t r ip ourselves, one blue-eyed coed said in pe r fec t E n g -lish, "Ooh, you mus t be very r ich."

"Bourgeos ie ," shouted a black-hai red lad.

Our g roup was any th ing bu t bourgeosie. Most of us had fin-anced the t r ip th rough loans—in t h a t respect we were alike. Poli t -ically, we were miles a p a r t . Two of our g roup were T a f t men, one suppor ted Eisenhower , and f o u r be-longed to the Stevenson clan.

We had differences of opinion on a lmost every issue, and in t h a t respect we provided a s t r ik ing con-t r a s t to the Russ ian s tudents we met , who agreed on a lmost every-th ing in the a r ea of religion, econ-omics, politics and government .

A r g u m e n t s on these sub jec t s e rupted f r equen t ly du r ing our t a lk s wi th Russ ian people. There were f e w th ings we could ag ree on—but t h r o u g h i t all they remained com-pletely f r i end ly to us.

Almost everywhere we were ob-

jects of curiosi ty. Cosmopoli tan Muscovites, more accustomed to visit ing delegat ions, paid less at-tention to us than the i r count rymen in southern Russia .

In many a r e a s we were the first Amer icans the Soviet ci t izens had

ever seen. They followed us in the s t ree t s and crowded around us if we stopped to t a k e a pic ture . It

was not unusual to s top in a de-p a r t m e n t s tore to buy a g i f t , and then tu rn around to find f r o m 25 to 150 Russ ians crowded about .

The only o ther Amer icans we

saw in Russia were a t t he United S ta tes embassy in Moscow. We met ambassador Char les Bohlen

three t imes dur ing our s t ay , once a t his Spasso house residence dur-ing a luncheon he and Mrs . Bohlen held f o r us.

The embassy t he r e ope ra tes un-der t remendous handicaps . Pract ic-ally no contact is pe rmi t t ed with the Russian people. Mail, which moves t h rough the Russ ian posta l sys tem, is opened before i t reaches the embassy . All te lephones a re assumed to be t apped . Wires and

min ia ture microphones have been found in the walls.

Russ ian police gua rd the en-t rance ' round the clock, ostensibly to protect the Amer i cans but more likely to prevent any Russ ian f r o m enter ing.

A policeman is on a lmost every corner in the cities. But a s ight even more common t h a n tha t of policemen is t h a t of Russ ian sold-

iers. W e saw Red t roops every-where we t ravel led. I t was not a t all unusual to see a platoon of soldiers with machine guns or rifles on the i r backs walk ing down the main s t ree t of a town. Russian soldiers t ravel led on the t ra ins we rode, and f r o m our t r a i n windows we once saw i n f a n t r y m e n running and fa l l ing in the snow—on the riflle r ange—and a t m o r t a r prac-tice.

We were told not to take pic-tures w h i c h included soldiers, bridges, por t s or airfields, and our cameras were taken away when we travel led by a i r .

Dutch Crack 4-Game Loss Streak At Kazoo

An upset loss to Alma, 83-81, in their las t pre-exam break activity left the MIAA defending champion Hope Dutchmen with a monstrous task fac ing them in their effor ts to wind up on top again in the con-ference flag chase. However in the i r initial re turn to action a f t e r tests the Dutch bat tered Kalamazoo in impressive style, 94-65, to

remain a th rea t . The defea t to Alma on the Scots' na r row floor, the second in

conference play, capped a Hope s lump and made an unblemished slate

the res t of the way mandatory to keep Dutch ti t le aspirat ions alive. A f t e r leading most of the contest and a t one time extending their lead to nine points, the Dutchmen watched the margin dwindle in the final minutes and disappear into a setback. The Scots, a young and uneven squad all season, played a sharp game to vault into four th place in the standings. George Fox, a small, peppery sophomore guard, threw in 29 points in spearheading the victors' work. For Hope Bob Visser bucketed 19.

Bounding back a f t e r a two-week layoff the Dutch thundered over Kazoo on the Hornet court to

The Hornets , reinforced by the return of all-conference center Manny Glasser, who was out f o r six weeks with a back injury, could not match the well-balanced a t tack of their visitors. The Dutchmen, with ten men hi t t ing for points, jumped to an early lead and added to it each quar ter . Bob Hendrickson fired in 24 points fo r the winners, the same as Glasser 's total , which paced the Kazoo squad. It was the first Hope victory on the Kalamazoo court in

four years .

A non-conference tussle with Michigan Normal in the Armory accounted for the th i rd loss in Hope's four -game losing str ing.

The Independents reign supreme in the "B" league with an un ta rn-ished record of four s t r a igh t wins. During the pas t two weeks they have been successful in beat ing off their two top challengers, the Cosmos and the F ra te r s .

The Indie-Cosmo game was close all the way, with the final score reading 48-45. Ken Van Wieren of the victors paced both teams with twenty-two points. The F ra t e r s , in preparat ion f o r their game with the high-flying Indies, rolled over the Knicks, 65-45. The winners were led by the Muskegon trio, Al Dykema (18), Ha r ry Voss (19), and J im Ziegler (8). In the o ther game of the evening, both Dick Ten Haken of the Arkies, and the Emmie 's Jack Borr collected 20 marke r s apiece, but the Emmer -sonian's managed to squeak out a 39-37 win.

With Van Wieren breaking the game open by scoring 21 in the final half, the Indies added the F r a t e r s to their list of victims by subduing them, 60-49. Van Wieren 's torrid second half display gave him game scoring honors with 26. Dykema garnered 19 fo r the losers. Joe M a r t i n , the Knickerbocker

f r e shman scoring whiz, pumped in 24 to lead his team to a 48-39 t r imming of the Emmies. Wes Kiel showed signs of regaining the f o r m tha t made him individual high scorer in the circuit last year, by dropping in 16. The C o s m o s snapped back f r o m their loss to the f ron t - runners by beat ing the win-less Arkies, 45-30. Dave Kuyers led his team into undisputed second place by scoring 14 counters.

The red hot Knick rookie, Joe Mart in, scored 43 points in the last two games to take over the top spot in the individual scoring de-par tment with a total of 72 points. Tied for second place are Dykema and Van Wieren, both have scored 61 for the young season.

Enough Rope... by DRN HR&ER

Quoting a news article from Grand Rapids Press, January 15, 1954:

"Officers of six police cruisers were required late Thurs-day night to break up a group of approximately 200 college students creating a disturbance at Giddings Ave. and Thomas St., S.E., after the Calvin college basketball team had been upset by the Aquinas college team."

"At the height of the disturbance, a motorist said mem-bers of the student group stopped his car and damaged it slightly by kicking at the doors and fenders, police reported."

"The students defied the first officers to arrive on the scene when they ordered the group to disburse, police said. While the police called for assistance, the students milled about the intersection, stopping traffic and throwing firecrackers. After police reinforcements arrived, however, the students dispersed. j j

The pas t two weeks brought little change to the f r a t " A " league, the unbeaten Emersonian and Fra te rna l teams continued to set the pace. Since the last edition both outfits have s t rung toge ther two victories apiece to mainta in unblemished records of three wins apiece.

The Emmies ' second t r iumph came a t the hands of the winless Cosmos, 40-32. Jesse King with 15, and Bob Ri tsema's 13 points paced the victors, but Bill Hey-dorn of the losers took high game honors by dunking 18 markers . In a hard fough t g a m e the Seminary edged by the Knicks, 27-26. Eddie Mulder of Western led both teams by sinking two field goals and five foul shots, good fo r 9 points. D a v e Kempker contributed 19 counters to the cause in his final f r a t game, as the F r a t e r s smeared the Arkies, 61-31.

The next week's schedule found the Emmies handing the Arcadians their second s t r a igh t th i r ty point loss. The " twin towers" chipped in 18 apiece to pin the 56-26 loss on the hapless Arkies . The F r a t e r s continued their h igh scoring pace by downing the Knickerbockers, 51-31. The last g a m e of the even-ing saw the Sems fight off a Cosmo rally to take a high scoring 56-50 victory. Mulder was again high for the victors with 19. This game marked the appearance fo r the first t ime on the Carnegie floor of Ed Staper t , set shot ar t is t f o r the losers. Although a little tense in his debut, "Big E d " chalked up 3 counters for the boys in green.

The la tes t defea t , prior to press time, was an 81-62 setback handed to the Dutchmen by the Kalama-zoo jay vees. Kalamazoo jumped off to a 26-4 lead at the end of the first quar te r , but a s t rong spur t by Hope brought the score to 38-30 by ha l f t ime with Kalama-zoo still leading. Kalamazoo pulled steadily away in the third quar te r and went on to win handily de-spite a good fou r th qua r t e r by Hope.

Bruce Spr ingsteen paced the Hope scorers wi th 15 points, fol-lowed by Jack Kempker with 13 and Dave St. Aubin with 11. Ar t Bieri, a t r a n s f e r s tudent f r o m Grand Rapids Jun io r College, had nine points, Harold Ri tsema and Ted Redding both five points, and George Kroeze and Gordon Hon-dorp two each.
