Each of the eleven competing groups presented their society song and a s ing selection. However, judging was based solely on the group selection. Gordon Meeusen directed the F r a t e r s to top position with "S tou t -hear ted Men." Betty

Schepers led the th ree- t ime win-ning Dorians with "Poor Old Jona-

than Bing."

The Co-chairmen of the 1955 Sing, junior Marcia Pasma and sophomore Robert Win te r , present-ed the winning directors with the coveted All College Sing Cups. Judges f o r the Sing were all f rom Holland, Mr. Francis Hodgeboom, Miss M a r g r e t Van Vyven, and Mr.

Jacobusse Wins

State Contest K. Don Jacobusse, r epresen t ing

Hope College in the Men's Ora to ry Contest of the Michigan Inter-collegiate Speech League, held a t Western Michigan College last F r i -day, continued in the t radi t ion of the past by winning for the four th consecutive t ime.

Previous winners f rom Hope Col-lege were Guy Vander J a g t , 1952; Don Lubbers, 1953; and Bruce Van Voorst, 1954. In 1954 the event was held on Hope 's campus. In this event, pe rhaps the highl ight of the forensic year among the colleges represented in this league, Hope is represented by the winners of the local Raven and Adelaide contest .

In the pre l iminary contests , Jaco-busse took five first place votes, or one f rom each of the five judges , to qua l i fy easily f o r the final round, which he won. His victory in this event qual i f ies him to par t ic ipa te in the National contest to be held a t Nor thwes te rn Universi ty , Evans-ton, Illinois, this April.

Vir tual ly every m a j o r school in the s ta te , with the exception of the Universi ty of Michigan is repre-sented in this league. Speakers f r o m Wayne Universi ty and Calvin College took second place and third place respectively. The contest was held on the campus of Wes te rn Michigan College of Education in Kalamazoo. Jacobusse and Carol Kuyper , who also par t ic ipated in Women's Ora tory , were accompa-nied on the t r ip by Miss Helen Har ton , ac t ing cha i rman of the Speech Depa r tmen t and o ra to ry coach, and Pro fesso r Lamber t Pon-stein, who acted as judges in the contest .

The Boston Herald said of a re-cent Goldovsky appearance , "As always, his technical assurance a t

the piano was complete. In his playing Mr. Goldovsky reveals his t rue s t a t u r e as a creat ive a r t i s t . " The Boston Post had the following to say of his appearance : "As a

From the

EDITOR'S DESK What's The Matter With Our Grey Matter?

Many a t t empts have been made to analyze the college mind. But these a t t empts have either been sensationalized to sell the article or toned down to minimize the issue. Panty raids, f r a t e r n i t y hazing, and drinking bouts have obscured the less colorful rebellions and, at the

same time, the basic problem. For, in most cases, the s tudent who breaks a rule (whether it is

cut t ing classes, ignoring dorm hours, or some more serious infract ion) does it because he disagrees with the rule, and refuses to abide by it. He does not break the rule to be different, clever, or daring. He has taken his stand as being aga ins t something a f t e r having thought it through, and it would be jus t as morally wrong fo r him to back down f r o m his stand as it would be f o r a person who believed in the rule,

to break it. But this is a negative philosophy, and to many minds, is childish

and immature in t ha t if offers no new solution. This is t rue , but it still does not obscure the f ac t t h a t the collegian has realized the folly of accepting anyth ing (rule or t radi t ion) on the blind f a i th tha t those who went before have the power to decide what is r ight fo r him. He realizes the necessity for rules in any society, but he demands the r igh t to make these rules for himself.

The professors who teach the college student how to think, find themselves in a peculiar si tuation. They can inculcate the methods of thinking, but they cannot also supply the thoughts . They are like the insect who nur tures i ts young until they are about to hatch and then mus t sacrifice its body and very being to its offspring. This is a hard

and painful th ing to do. But, on the other hand, the collegian with his radical ideas must

compromise. He cannot or will not run into the woods like Rousseau. His age has made him too much the practical realist . Instead he in-cessantly pricks at the bubble of established rule with the small pin of minor infractions. When this has no effect, he insults and ridicules the established author i ty .

This is not r ight . But more than that , it is not smar t , f o r all it does is i r r i ta te the sore spot. Instead the collegian with conviction should play a politician's game, and say what he feels but do nothing about it. Enough voices speaking together fo r a long enough time will prove any point.

Critical Thinking Test Results In J anua ry of this year, the f reshmen and seniors participated in

an experiment designed to gain evidence of the ability of Hope students to "think s t ra igh t" . The tes t ing instrument was The Watson Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal , a test of 99 items, designed to^sampTe the following^abilities:

to distinguish sound inferences; to recognize unstated assumptions in given assert ions; to reason deductively f rom given premises; and to weigh evidence.

These are some of the specific abilities tha t one calls in to play in analyzing and even solving problems and si tuations which he faces in his college study experience and in every day life. These are important skills.

Granted their importance, however, there are still other questions to answer: Are these abilities " innate" or are they "acqui red?" Is the study of some subjects be t te r fo r the development of these abili-t i es? Do students become more a depar tment in these skills as they go through the college p r o g r a m ?

From examination of the results of the tes ts taken, the following generalizations can be made:

1. There is a g rea t r ange of these thinking abilities among our s tudent . Out of 99 items, the number of correct answers range f rom 17 to 92. Interest ingly, the lowest and highest scores were made by f reshmen.

2. In general there was a positive correlation between the ACE psychological exam score and the Watson Glaser Appraisal . This is, s tudents who had a high score in the scholastic apt i tude tes t were likely

What's Past Is Prologue by Larry Siedentop

It is avowedly the purpose of any columnist to criticize. I have used this prerogat ive liberally in the past , and most likely 1 shall continue to use i t in the coming months. Yet a purely negative approach can quickly become stifling — unmitigated criticism is self-destructive. It is with the danger of this tendency in mind tha t I make the following few observations, hoping tha t they may in some way pass as being constructive.

Prophets of doom are today r ampan t in the " f r e e " world. We are beset by an ever-expanding list of theories as to why and how Western civilization will undergo trial and radical t ransformat ion. Spengler, Toynbee, Sorokin, and even Lippmann may differ con-siderably in their systems, but one transcending implication is to be found in all: our world of Graeco-Christ ian origin will change to the extent of becoming unintelligible and foreign to us.' What appals one is their discomfort ing proxi mity to the t r u th !

Upon analysis the " f r e e " world appears to be shaken, fa l ter ing, a f ra id . At this crucial moment when it must appear before the judging bar of history, Western civilization has ei ther lost its nerve or purpose — perhaps both. We often speak of a "uni ted" f ron t of democracy aga ins t Communism. And this is precisely the malady of our civilization. We have lost our common ideals and aspirat ions, and are united only in the nega-tive. We are aga ins t Russia, again-s t Communism, against enslave-ment, agains t th ings ad infinitum. But what are we f o r ?

To be sure most would retort tha t the " f ree ' world is fo r liberty, democracy, i n d i v i d u a l dignity, brotherhood. But these woods have become empty in our t ime. They are as fu t i le as the "hollow men" of T. S. Eliot f o r they no longer conjure up hope and action in men's Souls. When we genuinely admit how barren Western policy is of positive, constructive ideals can we express surpr ise a t the precarious-ness of our international s i tuat ion? Can we be so certain t h a t r ight-eousness and the dynamic forces are on our side? Could it be that the Eas t is s t rong and growing s t ronger , the West weak and grow-ing weaker? Is it possible tha t the whole movement of history is toward the Communist side? We might a t least be concerned!

The si tuat ion is not yet hopeless. Inevitable as is the modification of our way of life by the potent forces now unleashed in the world, it need not be destroyed. But to preserve our basic concepts and aspirat ions we shall have to make them live again.

During a conference on inter-national relations I at tended re-cently at the Universi ty of Notre Dame, I heard expressed on several occasions the only philosophy I be-lieve can save Western civilization. That is, our culture must prove that it has something bet ter to offer than do the Communists. In positive, peaceful action the West must prove its good f a i th to the fa l te r ing nations of the globe. We cannot d o this b y dominating paternal ism, but only by tolerant brotherhood.

Ef for t s such as SEATO in South-eastern Asia are not the answer. To the tired, oppressed people of the world the peacemakers are al-ways blessed, and we have allowed the Communists to usurp this, our r igh t fu l role. While they a re thus enabled to move closer to the non-Communist peoples of Asia, we f u r t h e r antagonize the masses with ha te fu l talk of a rmaments and prepara t ions f o r war. The world will not accept such a "saviour!"

Perhaps we a t a professing Christ ian insti tution might fo rge t

Letters to the Editor Dear Edi tor :

As a non-collegiate reader of the Anchor — every issue — I would like to compliment you on the vigor and courage of your policy, and the clarity of your vision. While such contributors as your-self, Jim Van Putten, Jonathan Hinkamp and others, are s tudying in Hope College, one can have high hopes of the student body. We hear much today about delinquent youth, and low cultural levels, but I am inclined to think, a f t e r much observation, that the delinquency and the vulgar i ty are found more frequent ly i n o t h e r older age groups. I part icularly liked your "F igh t ing Back" article, f o r unless we know how youth think today, how shall we know what will hap-pen to the world tomorrow? Are not the s tudent bodies of colleges very much the electorate of which Mr. Van Put ten speaks?

Hope is a f t e r all a college, and not a high school. From there young men enter the a rmy and business life, and young women marry and become teachers and if they have no freedom of expres-sion, how can they g ran t it in their tu rn?

However brilliant a person has been in his or her youth; however broadminded and tolerant they try-to be, the very f ac t tha t age slows down their reflexes, and powers of ad jus tment to new ideas, tends to make them unduly critical of the forward view of youth. Contrary to general belief, youth is not sel-fish and cruel — just realistic. It hur ts to have one's cherished views taken out of the cozy closet of one's mind, shaken and dusted and ex-posed to the brit t le light of a new day, but by the time one has ar-rived at — well — matur i ty , one should have learned the secret of good team work — how to hand the torch over quickly to the next run-ner in the race. It may be hard to do, but it is a challenge, and we are a lways telling youth how it must be thankful for challenges. Let us "ancient ones" accept the challenge, and be thankfu l our-selves.

Very truly yours, Phyllis G. Engelsman

Dear Edi tor : I wish I could jus t i fy the latest

"In Review" column by the fac t tha t there was nothing to review. However, I cannot; and the s tate-ments presented in the art icle show a lack of the ability on the pa r t of the au thor to evaluate culture. Culture does not depend upon size. The Universi ty of Michigan may present a concert in a huge audi-tor ium; t ha t makes it no more cul-tured than the same program pre-sented in the Hope Chapel.

Fur thermore , culture does not be-long to a select few. For what reason is T.S. Eliot be t te r cul ture than Mary Chase? P&M cannot produce the same type of d r ama on each performance. Rather , it must present to the public a varied

our pe t ty differences. Perhaps we might see a g rea te r dream, a vision whole. Perhaps we might well "hope in God" f o r the f u t u r e of mankind.

Chewing The Rag w i t h O p h e l i a G a g m u t z

Dear Mom and Dad: Spring has finally arr ived! We

have actually seen the sun several times. Joe says we'll still have a lot more cold weather , but I'm sure we won't. I mailed all my winter clothes home, today, so you should be get t ing them any day now. Please send all my cotton things r ight away because all I have here is a formal and a linen dress. Be sure and send my bathing suit, too!

Last Saturday, Joe and I went on a bike hike and it was fun most of the time, only I wanted to ride to Benton Harbor and Joe wanted to go to Zeeland. I didn' t mind so much not ge t t ing my way, it was just that Joe didn't even consider my suggestion. He complained pret ty much of the t ime too, cause he said it was too cold to be riding bikes. He's still ta lking about it. He's been in the clinic all week and everytime 1 go to see him he just coughs and gets tears in his eyes. When I told him yesterday tha t he had proved his point and could come out now, his face got so red, I thought he was having some sort of an a t tack. The nurse said I'd bet ter leave or he might . I did, but I think he's acting aw-ful ly childish.

Guess what ! We took second place in the Sing! Isn ' t tha t mar-velous? We were so thrilled we didn't know what to do. I 've never had so much fun in one night. It really is exciting. All the gir ls in each sorority dress alike and they look just beaut iful when they all ge t up on the s tage. I was so nervous when we were up there tha t I forgot myself and s tar ted to sing, but the girl next to me punched me and I stopped r ight away. She said no real harm was done.

The Dorians won first place fo r sororities and they really screamed when they announced the winners. I t 's the third year in a row tha t they've taken first place so they get to keep the cup, now.

The F ra t e r s took first place for t h e f ra te rn i t i e s a n d everyone screamed when they won, too. 1 really thought the roof was going to come down (not really, Mother . . just kidding. The chapel 's fine!). I don't exactly unders tand why there was such a commotion, either, cause it wasn ' t thei r third win. In fact , someone said it was jus t thei r first. Anyway, it sure was fun .

Well, back to the studies. Wri te soon.

IN REVIEW By Jon Hinkamp

The devoted readers of the staid inner pages of the Anchor will perhaps be pleased to read that the vicious, nasty, and probably atheist ic wr i te r of this column has. bowed to popular demand and is t ry ing to reform.

Having received, in the past months, a liberal (please pardon the t e rm; no doctrinal aspersions are intended) dosage of righteous disapproval f r o m t h e massed phalanxes of r ight-thinkers, uplif t-ers, do-gooders, sentimentalists , Mom-and-Dad's D a y committee members, a n d nature-lovers, 1 have discovered my offensive ar-rogance to be badly undermined. I find myself beginning to believe that , as so many have implied, several hundred Dutchmen can't be wrong.

Thus shaken, my first impulse was to turn my dubious ta lents in some less controversial direction, such as in terpre t ing visions or ghost -wri t ing term papers. Af te r much deep meditation, however, 1 concluded tha t not only would such a course verge on sheer cowardice, but also would involve shirking my manifes t duty to college and coun-t ry . My duty, it seems, is to do what I can to r ight the colossal wrongs which, I am told, I have done to Hope's earnest Str ivers A f t e r Beauty. In answer to any charges of inconsistancy, I can only humbly suggest tha t con-formi ty is the bet ter par t of safe journalism.

Therefore , without f u r t h e r pre-able, I herewith offer f o r the ap-proval of our as tute readers the first showing of the other side of my wormeaten leaf: a sweetness-and-light column. As a s ta r te r , I shall recant some previous state-ments which, I understand, were considered both nasty and uncalled-for .

Unhappily, I must record that the superb selection of tracts, which I believe to have contained some o f t h e grea tes t l i terary achievements since Longfellow's "Excelcior", is no longer on sale at the Blue Key.

As for the repertoire of the Chapel Choir, I'm sure tha t even so g rea t a composer as Margaret Sangs ter could find nothing to criticise.

The work done by the Pallette and Masque is no doubt unpar-alelled since the lamentable dis-appearance of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" f rom the American stage.

I'm sure all will agree tha t the lovely little stories in the Saturday Evening Pos t are infinitely superior to the awful , depressing trash printed by those unAmerican liter-ary magazines.

Turning to f resh subjects, I sim-ply must say tha t the orchestra played positively divinely last Sun-day af ternoon, and the smar t alecs who dared to imply tha t they were at t imes slightly off key should have their mouths washed out with soap. That lovely piece f rom the "Cavalier Rust icana" was absolute-ly heavenly.

The crowning event of the semes-ter thus f a r , however, was, without a doubt, the All College Sing. Be-sides being a marvelously improv-ing cultural event, I think tha t the Sing is a wonderful, hear twarming, tradition, and tha t its un i fy ing and upl i f t ing effect on campus social life is unparalleled. All the girls and boys who took p a r t deserve a big cheer fo r having sung so beautiful ly, and I think it would be jus t wonderful if they all got together and put on another fine program real soon.

This is about as f a r as I can go on my first a t tempt , I hope it is enough to sa t i s fy all the fine, sin-cere people who have ( fo r my own good, I 'm sure) brought pressure to bear upon me to see things the

of the Fra te rna l Society's variety show, the F r a t e r Frolics, will be presented this year on April 21st, 22nd, and 23rd, a t the Ladies' Lit-e ra ry Club, Frolics Director K. Don Jacobusse announced last week.

According t o Jacobusse, t h e theme of the Frolics this year will be college life, with both humorous and serious acts wri t ten around the various phases of life on the campus of a modern college or uni-versity. Wri te rs i n c l u d e David Kempers, J o h n Winter , Robert Muilenburg, K. Don Jacobusse, Dale Maxam, Peter Bylenga, Bob Winier , Bob De Wilde, Carl Reisig, Blaine Timmer, Matt Peelen, David Dethmers, David Spaan, J ames van Put ten, Bob Hoeksema, Dick Ort-quist . Jack De Pree, and Bob John-son.

The intent of this year 's Frolics was summed up by Director Jaco-busse as being "Bigger and better than ever." Some of the means which will be used to achieve this end will include expanded use of scenery, backdrops, and make-up, and selections by a selected chorus of Fra ters . This chorus will be directed by Gordon Meeusen, who recently led the entire f ra te rn i ty to first place in the All-College Sing. Among their selections will be a novelty tune, "The Wild Neck-

tie." Other f ea tu re s of the program

will include a piano duet fea tu r ing Tom Keizer a n d D a v e V a n Eenenaam. Business Manager fo r the event is Milt Lubbers; Earl De Wit t and George Pelgrim will head the stage crew, and Henry Doele is in charge of make-up.

Reed, Abbott

Join Faculty Miss Julia Reed, a new addition

to the English Depar tment , comes to us f rom Purdue University as a replacement fo r Dr. Lotus Snow, who recently left the faculty to join the staff of Albion College.

Miss Reed was born and has lived all her life in LaFayet te , Indiana, where her f a the r has a position on the staff of Purdue University. She graduated f rom tha t school in 1946 with a ma jo r in mathemat ics and English. Fol-lowing graduat ion, she did research and stat is t ical work — using her t ra ining in mathemat ics—but found this not to her liking. Thus she went to the Universi ty of Mich-igan, which is well known for its excellence in the field of English, and received her Master 's degree there in 1953. She was teaching at Purdue when she accepted her post at Hope.

Miss Reed's special interests lie mostly in music, theater , and travel. She told the repor ter that she spent the summer of 1948 at the Universi ty of Oslo, Norway, where she took a survey of Nor-wegian a r t and l i tera ture and had an opportuni ty to travel in and become acquainted with that beau-tiful country.

A new member of the Spanish Depar tment is Mr. James Abbott, a native of La Cross, Florida. He earned his A.B. and Master 's de grees in Spanish and French at the Universi ty of Florida, and he has completed all the work, with the exception of his thesis, which is required to receive a Ph.D. in Hispanic Studies f rom U.C.L.A. While taking his schooling in Cali-forn ia , he t augh t Spanish classes. He also has studied a t the Uni-vers i ty of Mexico.

This is Mr. Abbott 's first experi-ence in a small college, which he feels differs f rom a large one only in the first two years, and he is impressed by the fr iendly people here and the courtesy of the stu-

dents in class.

Ford Study Plans Courses

To Improve Student Thinking by Harvey Mulder

Approximately 14 months ago Dean Hollenbach wrote an editorial f o r the Anchor to explain the pur-pose and scope of the Ford Founda-tion gran t and the facul ty Curricu-lum self-analysis. Most Hope stu-dents now recognize this study group as the "Ford Study Group." This past week the sub-committee on Critical Thinking released a s ta tement to the Anchor of the ob-jectives of two proposed courses which would reflect curriculum changes to meet the re-thinking on the purposes and program of the liberal a r t s college. Below the An-chor presents a condensation of the report of the committee on "think-

ing : "

On the broadest level these courses seek to help the student acquire the basis f o r sound con-structive thinking in all areas of living. This chiefly involves an un-

r ight way and to join the placid fold. To them, congratulat ions on a Job Well Done in the Cause of Right Thinking. Perhaps this new method of pseudo-criticism is in-nocuous enough to purchase the approval of the Good Fellows and Guardians o f R e a l American Values. W h a t price integr i ty now?

ders tanding of the symbols, con-cepts, and processes tha t man uses to meet the various problems tha t he faces every day. Through these courses it is hoped tha t the student will not only develop the habi ts and skills of sound thinking, but that he will also increase his un-ders tanding of the thinking pro-cesses themselves, and gain an awareness of their application in different si tuations.

This will be accomplished by analyzing the thinking process of others as they meet concrete situa-tions, and in the exercise of their th inking powers in problem situa-tions. The courses will be inciden-tally concerned with the develop-men t of an understanding of such causes of inept thinking as inac-cura te perception, " fuzzy" or un-sound concept format ion, and phys-ical or psychological blocks. The courses in " th inking" f u r t h e r hope to supply a ' basic understanding and vocabulary which should enable every college inst ructor to proceed more efficiently in helping his stu-dents to develop his thinking pow-ers . And by pointing out some of the general processes and principles employed in sound thinking the s tudent should be able to t r a n s f e r

required. History 13, 14 and 33, 34 will be the basic courses f o r a History major . Fourteen semester hours in History courses numbered above 50 will be required and should include courses in as many areas as possible.

CRITICAL THINKING . . .

(Continued f rom page 2) to score high in the test of the thinking skills. There were however a number of exceptions — enough to indicate that the two were not identical measurements .

3. There is real evidence of improvement in thinking skills be-tween the f r e shman and senior year. 73% of the seniors scored higher than the median or middle f r e shman score. 74% of the f reshmen scored lower than the median senior score.

These stat is t ics, however, mus t be examined cautiously. The only positive way to measure improvement is by testing the same person twice at different s tages of his career. At this s tage of the test ing, such a procedure has been impossible. Is it valid to assume that the present senior class would have approximated the scores of the present f reshmen had they taken the tes t three years ago? Using the ACE Psychological Test Scores obtained fo r both groups in thei r f r e shman year as a common basis fo r comparing the scholastic apt i tude of the two groups, through statist ical processes the difference between the f r e shman and senior scores is not quite as grea t but it is still significant.

4. In a comparison with the other college percentile norm estab-lished for the tes t , the f r e shman scores fall slightly below, and the senior scores slightly above those of the norm group. The norm group was based essentially on 1940 cases, the test given in an Eas te rn Uni-versi ty during the f reshman year .

In comparison with national high school (11th and 12th grade) norms, the f reshmen scores are considerably higher than the norm group. 88% of the f reshmen score above the median or middle score for the high school group.

5. In t ry ing to arr ive at some indication as to whether various disciplines studied make any difference in the development of these skills, the seniors were divided into three broad groups, those who majored in some area of science, those in the social sciences, and those in the humanit ies.

In the science group were placed those major ing in Biology, Chem-istry, Physics, and Mathematics. In the Social Science groups, ma jors in History, Political Science, Sociology, Psychology, and Economics and Business Administrat ion. In the humanit ies group, majors in English, Foreign Language, Philosophy, Religion and Music.

The science group scored highest in the test , the Social Science second and Humani t ies last. When ad jus tments were made in t e rms of the ACE Psychological Test scores, the Social Science group traded places with the Science. Says Prof . Dahnke of the Michigan Sta te College Board of Examiners "There is a t least the suggest ion here t ha t the Social Science group, who apparent ly have the least abil i ty on the average, is ge t t ing the best t ra in ing in critical th inking or whatever it is tha t the Watson Glaser really measures ." Conversely, the t ra in ing in the Humani t ies seems weakest at this point.

Individual scores and percentile r a t ings are now available in the Dean's Office and can be secured at any t ime.

6RANDSTANDIN6. by Kempers and Veldman

Closing out the season with a 98-78 loss to Adrian, the Hope

College cagers wound up one of their worst seasons in the past several

years. This loss gave the Dutch a 8-6 conference record which put

them in four th place and gave them an overall s tanding of 10-10. In

the first half of the M.I.A.A. race Hope managed only 3 victories out

of 7, while they came on to take 5 out of the last 7 contests. Beaten

decisively only 3 times in the league the final s tandings could have

been somewhat different had Hope played the caliber of ball they were

potentially capable of. Lacking the appearance of a well knit quintet

at t imes during the season the squad worked as a unit only periodically

and as a result play was r a the r spotty.

Although the total record was not the most impressive, by taking

a look a t this years squad we see t ha t coach Visser was faced with

a number of problems. One of the foremost was the fac t tha t he had

only five veterans on hand and therefore had to rely heavily on f rosh

for depth. Even though the f reshmen came through at times, the

experienced depth of veteran squad members was clearly shown to be

lacking and as a result the team showed a weakness here.

Two seniors saw final action with the Dutch cagers in the Adrian contest. Bob Hendrickson, Hope's veteran center and three time All-MIAA choice, set two all-time records in the Dutch athlet ic annals. Scoring a total of 1,351 points during his four year career , Bob set an additional record, s t a r t ing in 79 consecutive basketball games. As a f reshmen, Hendrickson s tar ted all 17 games, scoring 219 points for an average of 12.9. The following year he poured through 448 tallies for a 20.4 average. Over the last two years . Bob has scored identical totals of 342 points, averaging 18 points in 19 games last year and 17.1 points fo r the 20 games this season. In addition, Hendrickson led the Dutchmen with 338 rebounds this year . Following the Adrian con-test, Bob was named Hope's most valuable player. Interest ing to note is Bob's phenomenal shooting average f rom the floor, 44 and 41 percent for th^ last two years respectively.

The other gradua t ing senior who saw his final basketball action is Willie Rink, the Dutch All-MIAA baseball hurler. Though his action as a f r e shman was limited, Willie has come to be the leading Dutch playmaker. F rom his guard position he dropped in 208 points this season for a double figured average of 10.4.

Adrian 's victory over Hope gave the Bulldogs a 12-2 MIAA record, tying them with Calvin f o r the conference championship and creat ing a playoff situation. Adrian went on to defea t Calvin 76-67 in a contest which under the MIAA rules had no bearing on the championship, though Adrian, because of the victory, picked up the first place points toward the All-Sports t rophy.

Representing the MIAA conference, the Bulldogs defeated Detroit Tech in the s ta te NAIA playoffs, allowing Adrian to represent Michigan in the NAIA tournament . Monday night, however, Adrian was elimin-ated f rom the tournament by Texas Southern, 102-83.

Adrian Stops Dutch In Season's Final

The Adrian College Bulldogs walloped Hope's cagers, 98-78, throwing Adrian into a tie fo r the MIAA championship along with Calvin and set t ing the Dutch down to four th place in the final s tand-ings with a conference record of 8-6. Hit t ing the basket on 46 per-cent of their shots, the Bulldogs dominated the entire contest.

Adrian jumped out to an 11 point lead before Hope countered. Open-ing the lead to 15 points, the Bull-dogs kept the margin most of the first half. In the final five minutes of the half the Dutch threw on a man-to-man defense which sliced the lead to 11 points, Hope t rai l ing 49-38 at half t ime. Despite the fac t

tha t Adrian was unable to crack Hope's zone defense, their accuracy f rom outcourt was sufficient to maintain the lead.

Continuing to hit f rom the floor in the second half , Adrian built the lead to a 20 point spread. The Dutch were par t icular ly hampered

by personal fouls as most of the regulars missed a good deal of the contest through this route. Coach Visser then being forced to call on his reserves fo r about half the contest. Adrian maintained their substantial lead, going on to win by a 98-78 margin .

With basketball over and Spring just around the corner, the coaches are prepar ing this year ' s contend-ers in baseball, tennis, golf, and track.

The coming season will see two changes in the coaching staff at Hope. John Visser, who last year coached the golf team, will handle the baseball team; while Mr. Albert Timmer, re turning a f t e r a few years ' respite f rom the coaching staff, will direct the golf squad. Returning to the court and cinder reins respectively will be Ken Weller and Larry Green.

Fraters Tie Cosmos For Championship

A combination of a Cosmos loss in the "B" League and the F r a t e r defea t of the Cosmos in the " A " League gave the F ra t e r s and the Cosmos identical totals of won and

lost fo r the co-championship of in te r f ra te rn i ty basketball .

In the " A " League, the F r a t e r s grabbed the championship on the s t rength of a 9-1 record, while in the U B" League, the Independents walked off with the honors with a 7-3 record.

Though the overall co-champion-ship will remain as such, a meet-ing of the f r a t e r n i t y athlet ic com-

mit tee will decide whether a play-off shall be held. The customary procedure has been fo r the " A " League champ to meet the "B" League champ fo r a mythical championship.

Coach Visser has already issued his call fo r baseball candidates and the team will officially begin prac-tice on Monday, March 14. Visser 's biggest problem this year will be the lack of depth, especially in the pitching staff. There is also a large gap to be filled at first base due to the graduat ion of Don Lubbers. With seven let termen re turning f rom last y e a r ' s championship team, Hope should be as good, if not bet ter this year. Although the pitching staff is lacking in depth, the hurling of All-MIAA pitcher Willie Rink, a lways a dependable per former , should keep the Dutch on top. S t rength at the plate should remain constant with the re turn of captain Don York and Dick Ort-quist, both hi t t ing over 300 last

year.

Hope will open its baseball sea-son in Holland on April 15 agains t Ferr is Inst i tute of Big Rapids.

This year 's tennis team, under the direction of Ken Weller, seems to be s t ronger and should be able to bet ter last year 's third place record. Although Kalamazoo is favored to retain the title, a spir i t -ed and talented Hope aggrega t ion should not be counted out of the picture too soon. The addition of John Jel tes, las t year 's high school singles champ, and Ron Sisson, another talented frosh, should bols-ter the team considerably. Another f reshmen. Tiger Teusink, should add to the doubles s t rength . An improved crop of let ter winners in-clude K. Van Wieren, W. Coventry, A. Bieri, J . Schrier, G. DePree, and

J. Warren .

Mr. Timmer should find a prom-ising group of golfers await ing him. Returning f rom last year ' s squad to fo rm a nucleus fo r this season will be Hutton, Holt, and Hondorp. Also re turning will be another le t ter winner. Bill Kramer , who, a f t e r spending some time in the service, is ready to take his place as one of Hope's leading golfers. Leading the f reshmen can-didates will be Ray DeDoes, an accomplished tournament g o l f e r f rom Kalamazoo who should help

the team considerably.

The track team, under Mr. Lar ry Green, will officially open practice on Monday, March 7. Green's re-sponse to his call fo r candidates revealed tha t there will be much new blood added to the team this year ; and if these f reshmen and new men live up to their potential, Hope could annex its third MIAA track title in four years. Returning lettermen include MIAA champions Don York, javelin; John DeVries, broad jump and pole vaul t ; and Bob Hendrickson, shot put. Other first line re turners include Tom Carey, dashes; Dave Hondorp, 880; Don Brookstra, hurdles; and Ron Den Uyl, distances. They should be s trengthened considerably in the hurdles by the addition of Paul Wiegerink, J im Hilmert , and Ev Nienhouse, all outs tanding per-fo rmer s in last year 's s ta te meets. J im Cooper, another bet ter than average hurdler , proved this fal l tha t he could go over distance and will probably team with Hondorp in the 880. Hope appears to be s t rong in the pole vault also with the re turn of Dave Kuyers , being augmented by Blaine Timmer and John Padget t , a re turn ing service-man who, it is rumored went over twelve fee t . Dick Gantos will aid in the field events by throwing the discus and John DeFouw, a good shot pu t te r , will probably provide Hendrickson with some competition in tha t event.

The track team opens i ts season with an away meet aga ins t Fe r r i s Inst i tute a t Big Rapids on April 27.
