The world is out of tune. We have lost our hold on those values which make life worth living. We a r e subdued in a mater ia l world of molecular phenomena. The sunset is only a diffusion of l ight r ays through suspended vapors in the

The v ibrant notes of a joyfu l bird a r e only a series of vibrat ions of the air. The beauty of the flower is lost in a botanical a r r a y of dis-sected mater ia l pa r t s : of petals and sepals and s t amens and pollen. 1 he fleecy clouds are only collections of mois ture subject to cu r r en t s and coun te r -cur ren t s of air and vari-a t ions in t empera tu re .

The beauty of our universe is lost in the unemotional , unimaginat ive , purely fac tua l explanat ion of our universe. Science has moulded our universe in a myriad of rigid laws. Eve ry th ing is subject to a series of causes and counter-causes. The world is only a giant , unsympa-thet ic machine. Our minds must work in cold, barren logical fo rms . O u r th inking must be mere routine, order ly exercise of our cranial gray m a t t e r .

Our eyes are limited to seeing only bare skeletons of things. Our e a r s have been trained to hear sounds which are only elemental f r ame-works . Our minds follow along the beaten paths of nar row-visioned fo rmal i s t s . We have lost our contact with life. We are out of touch with nature . Our prog-ress in m e c h a n i c s , as t ronomy, chemis t ry , medicine, has thrown man into a maze of empty, unsa t -i s fy ing th ings . We talk glibly of billions of light years, of cosmic-theories , of serums and toxins, of super -he te rodynes ; and yet cannot see the g r andeu r of a sunset , or hear the s tory in a babbling brook.

We have progressed so f a r and f a s t in the realm of the finite tha t we have lost all concepts of the infinite. We speak of the g rea t nebula of Orion but what has tha t to do with l i f e? We talk of "re la-t iv i ty ," but what does tha t do to our daily rou t ine? We discuss the four th dimension, but how does tha t affect m e ? We delve into pure science but never think of apply-ing it to daily life.

It is t ime to stop the progress of our material , world until our mental and spir i tual world can catch up. We must re turn to a reverent myst ic ism. We must be able to sit once more and see the beauty of a sunset . We mus t be able to dream the words told by the brook as it runs on amid the fields. We must hear the voice of God in the song of the bird. We mus t see in the flower the hand of the creator . N a t u r e must enfold us in the robe of tha t intangible something which gives us peace, which takes us out of this bar ren , fac tua l , m e c h a n i s t i c busy-body world into a world of sereni ty and calm and love.

Forge t your routine fo r awhile! Dream!! Let your imaginat ion be your host fo r an evening. Think of beauty , peace, love. Don't be ab-sorbed by the material but absorb some of the spir i tual . Remember , you sea w h a t you a re th inking about ; so, th ink nobly.

AN O P E N LETTER TO T H E B A S K E T B A L L TEAM

Dear Fellows:

All this old rah-rah stuff which says go out and fight fo r the glory of good old alma m a t e r is a lot of collegiate drivel and we ' re not going to waste good type on it. But we do wan t you to know tha t we'll be behind you, backing you up with our confidence, f rom the minute you step out onto tha t basketball court tonight until people fo rge t t ha t there ever was a 3-way tie for the MI A A championship.

We hope you'll win, and we feel confident tha t you can w i n — you showed us tha t in the Albion game. We don't mean to belit t le Kalamazoo and Albion — they ' re stiff competit ion. But you have the teamwork and enthus iasm of champions. You have the best coach in the MIAA, Add all this up and you can see we expect a victory.

Of course, we want a glory day tomorrow! But more than t h a t , we want to be proud of our team tonight ; and win or lose, if you play a good game, we will be proud of you.

Lampen Becomes Valedictorian of

Class of 1939

Has Perfect 3. Rating; * Ten Seniors Make

Honor Roll Oliver Lampen, with an all " A "

record in his college work, will be valedictorian of the Hope college senior class for 1939. He is the son of P rof , and Mrs. A. E. Lampen.

He headed the honor roll, which was announced by Prof . Thomas E. Welmers , r eg i s t r a r . His per fec t score 3.00 ra t ing has been equalled

only once before when Calvin Van-dej: Wer f , of the Class of '37, made the ra t ing .

Clifford Keizer, of Byron Center , will be sa lu ta tor ian with an aver-age of 2.86.

Lampen is very active on the campus. He is vice-president of the senior class and a member of

The class is now complet ing the flats, which have a wood f r a m e -work and are covered wi th un-bleached muslin. They will be painted in the p r i m a r y colors so tha t the l ight ing effects , which will have tin cans in the composition, can make the set any desired color.

During the semes te r ' s work the class will choose th ree of t h e best s tudent-directed, o n e - a c t plays which will be presented f o r the en-joyment of the s tudents .

The class is very proud of their work and hope to have it completed tomorrow. They feel that they have contributed to an interest in and appreciation of dramatics which will be active on our campus fo r many years.

Professor Clarence De Graaf, Dr. Holland Shackson, James White, and Cornelius Pet t inga accom-panied the team and acted in the capacity of judges.

Tomorrow, Michigan Intercolle-g ia te Athletic Association teams will know the i r champion.

Hope, Kalamazoo and Albion col-lege basketball t eams will bat t le tonight fo r the 1939 t i t le in the most unique event in the 41-year-old history of the association. The th ree quintets , tied fo r first place a f t e r a 12-game race, will scrap in a round-robin t ou rnamen t in the Wes te rn S ta t e Teachers ' college gym a t Kalamazoo.

The three- team contest will get under way a t 7 p. m. and f r o m all indications a crowd of a lmost 4,500 persons will wi tness the even t .

Coaches and directors of the league, under the direction of Judge Advocate of the MIAA, DeGay Ernes t of Grand Rapids, a r r a n g e d the tournament in a special meet-ing at the Pa rk -Amer ican hotel in Kalamazoo last Wednesday follow-ing completion of the league sche-dule.

Coaches drew for places in the unusual t ou rnamen t . At 7 p. m. Hope will play Albion for 15 min-utes . A f t e r a 10-minute res t , the Dutch will take on Kalamazoo for 15 minutes. Another 10-minute res t will follow, and Kalamazoo will mee t Albion fo r a 15-minute period.

When t h a t circle of 16-minute halves is played the t e a m s will meet again, Hope vs. Albion, Hope vs. Kalamazoo and Kalamazoo vs. Albion, in tha t o rder with 10-min-ute rests allowed between each period. • "

Actually, each quinte t will play 60 minutes of basketbal l or a game and a half . With long res t periods between each half , however, it was es t imated t h a t the t o u r n a m e n t would be no more t i r ing t han a regulat ion game.

Each pair of halves will count as •\ " g a m e , " and should the winner be declared before the tou rnament has been completed, • the tourna-ment will continue until the end to decide second and th i rd places in the league.

If at the end of the t ou rnamen t the teams a re still tied f o r the title, total points made by each team in the ent i re meet will decide the crown. Should two t e a m s tie in total points, or should second and third place t e a m s tie, an over-t ime period of five minutes will decide a winner.

According to the rules, the fouls incurred by a p l aye r in p lay ing one team do not count in a game played with a second team.

Refe rees f o r the contest will not be announced until ton igh t . The coaches approved a l ist of officials, and the judge advocate will h i re f o u r to work the games .

Al though the contest is played in Kalamazoo, Kalamazoo college did not have a chance to w o r k out on t h e Wes te rn S ta t e floor. The Horne t s do n o t use the W S T C floor f o r r egu la r games .

Plans for the tournament were not completed until S p. m. Wednes-day a f te r sessions which began at noon. Over objections to a play-off at all, and to a bye system of play-off, the committee founded the one-night round robin. A robin of three full games would have to be played over a period of a t least two weeks, it was considered, and schools could not allow the meet to interfere with scholastic activity to tha t extent. ' .

Between each period of compe-tition, bands of the three schools will be massed fo r special music.

Coach Bud Hinga, . Dr. B. M. Raymond and Prof. E . P. McLean represented Hope a t the meeting yesterday.

Augustana Choir To Give Concert

Here Monday An in te res t ing t r i logy of s ty le

in choral concer ts will be presented by t he A u g u s t a n a College Choir, Rock Is land, Illinois, under Mr, Veld's direction, when they appea r

in Hope Memorial Chapel on Mon-day evening, March 13.

The first g roup of the fou r -un i t p r o g r a m is sung by the J e n n y Lind chorus, acc l a imed ' f o r i ts peerless p resen ta t ion of the finer, more e thereal works t h a t have been wri t -ten or a r r a n g e d f o r women 's voices.

The Wenne rbe rg male chorus, which h a s appea red th roughou t the land f o r a lmost f o r t y years , s ing the second g roup f r o m a reper to i re of ca re fu l ly chosen male chorus a r r a n g e m e n t s . The i r work com-pletely e l i m i n a t e s t h e usual

s t amp of "glee c lub" s t anda rds so of ten found in c o l l e g e s inging organizat ions .

The final g roups presen t the s ixty-eight voice choir s inging the majes t ic works of Bach, Kodaly, Tschesnokoff, Cain, and other lead-ing composers.

The ou t s tand ing success of the Augus tana choir may largely be a t t r ibu ted to skill and fine sense of musical proport ion of its conductor, Mr. Henry Veld.

Because of his ou ts tanding suc-cess in molding young voices into effective choral ensembles, Mr. Veld is in g r ea t demand as a judge of musical contests and as a director of high school fest ival choruses th roughout the country.

The t a sks of pe r fo rming the diffi-cult accompaniments f o r the Au-gus tana choir belongs to Mr. Ron-

ald Jesson, a s tudent in the Augus-tana School of Music.

Mr. Jesson possesses a r a re g i f t of musical insight and unders tand-ing of choral scores, which fits him admirably f o r his work of accom-panying the Wennerberg and Jenny Lind choruses. His t ra in ing in this field has been under Prof . Bryn-holf Lundholm who, until this year, has served as accompanist fo r the Augus tana choir. Mr. Jesson ' s nat-

ural abili ty and fine musical sensi-tivity ranks him as an ar t i s t s tudent .

c a m p a i g n , re jo ined the squad last

week in its first r ehea r sa l f o r t h e

round robin t o u r n a m e n t a t Kala-

mazoo t o n i g h t .

Accord ing to physic ians , Hene-

veld 's knee will be able to s t and

the gaff of pa r t i c ipa t ion . Coach Hud

H i n g a went to work immed ia t e ly

to g e t him in shape fo r t o n i g h t ' s

the d is t r ic t t o u r n a m e n t a t Bu r ton

H e i g h t s as an official last week-

end, was re leased to coach his club.

F a n s t o n i g h t will see the t h r e e

t e a m s tha t have control led M I A A

baske tba l l mos t in the pas t five

seasons . In 19.'{4-.%, Albion was the f a -

vor i t e to win the t i t le , but t h e

Br i tons were beaten in the last

g a m e of the season by Hil lsdale ,

and in the first playoff in the

l eague , Hi l lsdale repea ted the vic-

to ry to take t h e title a t J a c k s o n .

T h e next yea r , Albion h a n d e d

Hope a one-point de fea t at Hol-

land, and then beat Olivet in a

playoff at Ba t t l e Creek f o r t h e

c rown . Hope took undisputed possess ion

of t h e championsh ip in 1036-37,

and las t y e a r the Dutch lost in a

playoff to K a l a m a z o o in the Civic

a u d i t o r i u m in Grand Rapids .

Hope is b e t t e r p repared fo r to-

n i g h t ' s ba t t l e , however , t han the

Dutch were las t season. Eleven

men compose the Dutch squad , and

a l t h o u g h Coach Hinga h a s an-

nounced no s t a r t i n g l ineup, the ex-

t ens ive reserve power will tell in

a con tes t t h a t means a g a m e and

a ha l f p l ay ing t ime.

A l t h o u g h it is doubt fu l if Hene-

veld will be able to score consis t -

en t ly wi thou t more prac t ice , it is

the opinion t h a t he will work ex-

cel lent ly in a relief role, and will

be able to keep Feduniak of Albion

and W a r r e n of Ka lamazoo a w a y

f r o m the baske t .

Because in most g a m e s , Hope

has used more men than e i the r Al-

bion or Kalamazoo , the D u t c h have

an a d v a n t a g e in s t r e n g t h . On that

a s sumpt ion , the en t i r e s t u d e n t
