New Dictionary

given to "Ctl*'

Most of us take a dictionary p re t t y much as a m a t t e r of course, bu t look a t th is . Recently Presi -dent Coolidge was presented with one of the first copies of a new Ox-fo rd dict ionary, t he f r u i t of 73 years of effor t to s t andard i se and pe r fec t the Engl ish language. This new dict ionary is t h e resul t of 28 years ' g a the r ing of mater ia l and 50 years ' compilation. A t tha t ra te anyone who desires to wr i te a dic-t ionary should begin a t an early age.

Cheap T i re s?

We may be able to ge t automo-bile t i res cheap now. On Apri l 4, Premier Baldwin of G r e a t Bri ta in announced t h a t all restr ict ions on the expor ta t ion of rubber f rom Malaya and Ceylon will end on October 31 of this year . T h u s ocl-lapsed the Bri t ish scheme known as the "Stevenson P lan , " whereby the rubber p lan te r s in the Malay peninsula had agreed to curtai l t he production of rubber so as to keep up the price. Now American motoris ts ( including those who drive old F o r d s ) use 70 per cent of the world's ou tpu t of rubber , and when American t i re manu fac tu r -e r s began to get rubber f rom coun-t r ies other t h a n Bri t ish, John Bull decided t h a t he'd r a t h e r have our t r a d e a t a lower price than not have it a t all . Of course, the price of t i res will not be lowered for a t least six months, bu t i t 's r a the r comfor t ing to know t h a t some day

Parachute jumping

proves to be unexcit ing

Lieutenant E y r e reached f o r his map, missed i t ; i t slipped into a corner of his cockpi t Two thou-sand fee t over Essex, England, he undid his sa fe ty s t r a p s and reached again. Unintent ional ly he pressed the control stick fo rward . The plane stalled with c s t a r t , and an astonished flier found himself cata-pulted in to mida i r . With presence of mind he pulled his parachute cord, landed u n h u r t , lighted a cigaret , and addressed a gaping rus t ic : " I wonder where my kite's

According to custom, members of the facul ty will act as judges in the elimination contests and out-siders will decide in the final con-tests. Plans a re under way. The management of the contest is in the hands of H. Sluyter , the Pi Kappa Delta manager of oratory.

Taylor ' s hunch

U a d a t o Oil

A ta i lor ' s hunch was the basis of the Muskegon oil rush. Stanley Daniloff r an immigran t Bulgar ian tai lor of limited schooling, though without a technical knowledge of oil, convinced himself t h a t there was oil beneath the soil of Muske-gon. As he tells the s tory, hia original theory of the presence of oil had been formed by reason of the behavior of crops on a small f a r m which he had acquired. These crops faded out with g r e a t regular i ty in midsummer. Mr. Doniloff ascribed this behavior to the soil 's being poisoned by the emanat ions of oil and gas f rom underground sources. The tai lor became convinced t h a t there waa oil a t t he place and Anally was able to have a well drilled. And

so oil w a s found.

"Y" Men Discuss Subject, "Knocks"

"Knocks" was the interest ing subject of discussion in Tuesday's Y. M. C. A. meeting. Many differ-ent in terpreta t ions of the topic were brought for th, but the pre-vailing one was tha t "Knockers" were those who criticise merely for the sake of criticism and with no definite object in view. Herm Krui-zenga, leading the discussion, saw three th ings tha t made men knock-ers . They were jealousy, prejudice, and animosity. It was pointed out, however, t h a t criticism given in the r ight spir i t is beneficial.

A very in teres t ing and lively discussion followed Herm's talk. The spiri t of the "Knocker" was ap t ly a s well as amusingly illus-t ra ted by several of the men. The subject was not near ly exhausted nor was the enthusiasm of the meeting when the e ight o'clock whistle blew. The absence of Freshmen f rom the meeting was grea t ly noticeable. Wake up, Freshmen. If you don' t know what i t ' s all about, e i ther ask someone who knows or come and find out for yourselves.

debate and dramat ic .coach a t Union High School, Grand Rapids, was elected as general director of the pagean t for Grand Rapids. He will be assisted in directing the five epi-sodes of the pageant by Mrs. H. Westra and Mrs. J . A. Dyks t ra of Central Reformed Church, Mrs. A. De J o n g of F i f t h Reformed church, Mrs. H.

Board of Trustees To Meet This Week

The annua l meet ing of the Board of Trus tees of Hope College will be held th i s year on Thursday , April 26th. This board is com-posed of about thirty-five members, two represen t ing each d a s s i s and about ten represent ing t h e General Synod.

At th is meet ing repor t s will be given of the work of the college dur ing the pas t year and plans will be made for the school year of 1928-1929.

o We a lways knew Hope College

had its f r e a k s like the res t of the world bu t never ful ly apprecia ted them before unti l the Carnival col-lected and displayed the combined ta lent of t h e inst i tut ion. J u s t think of all the laughs we've been missing these many weeks.

"Jul ius Caesar ," a d rama penned by the renowned Shakespeare, will be presented a t Carnegie Hall some t ime in June by the members of the Ulfilas Club. The play will be given in the Dutch language. I t is an excellent t ransla t ion by Dr. L. A. J . Burgersdyk and has been fu r -ther prepared fo r the s tage by Ed-win Booth. The cast has com-menced practice under the direc-tion of Dean Durfee and Prof . Wel-mers.

The giving of the play is really aui te a t a sk since i t means a g rea t deal of memory work in a language not commonly spoken.

The fol lowing have impdr tan t roles to p lay : Jul ius Caesar Peter De Rui ter

The Ulfilas Club, composed of those interested in the Dutch lan-guage, has been re-organized this year and a t present has a mem-bership of about thirty-five. Weekly meet ings are held and this play promises to be the consumma-tion of the year ' s work.

Sophomore Class Will Elect Milestone Officers At Party

Short ly a f t e r the coed edition of the Anchor had blazoned for th wi th its "equal i ty plea," the Sophomore Men began the fire and in a sp i r i t t ha t is typical of the whole Sopho-more Class the Girls of 1930 re-tal iated.

In a mammoth m a s s meet ing which was a t tended by a f ew of the Girls, they decided to indulge in the Leap Year Pas t ime in order t h a t t h e Voorhees " S h u t ins" m a y have a precedent to follow dur ing the remainder of 1928. The candi-dacy of H e r b e r t Hoover on the national t icket and the local candi-dates fo r the Milestone offices were unanimously endorsed.

The first intention of the Class was t o . have Mayor Thompson supervise the elections, which a r e to be held th is F r i d a y evening in the L i t e r a ry Club, but , though the members of the Nominat ing Com-mit tee were all Teutons they had Anglo-saxon sympathies , conse-quently Holland's only possible chance of seeing K ing George's Class will make it poaslble for the people of Holland to see the FOOL) faded in the gun smoke of Chicago.

CROWDS ATTEND GAY CARNIVAL AT

CARNEGIE HALL BRINGS FORTH DISPLAY O F

REAL CIRCUS T A L E N T

WAS GREAT FUN

"Queen of the Carnival" Contest was thril l ing to

the finish

We a re wonder ing ju s t how f a r the f r e s h m a n week which Dr . Dim-

nent suggests would go in convert-ing a high school g r a d u a t e into a college man . A t t imes a y e a r is

hard ly sufficient and occasionally even f o u r years have been known to fa i l .

People were heard to r emark a t

the Carnival las t week the g r e a t number of sheets in evidence. A visit to the dormitories would call f o r th an ent irely different r emark . I n f a c t we've almost come to the conclusion t h a t dorms have thai r

' u s e s a f t e r a l l

Old Carnegie 's walls a r e still t rembl ing f rom the roar of the big Carnival last Thursday and F r i d a y nights. They were surpr ised to see so many circus barkers , and carnival sorcerers, snake charmers , magicians, f r eaks , and f o r t u n e tellers among the college elite. We hope fo r a speedy recovery, Old Carnegie. But seriously, t he Car-nival was a huge success. I t is esti-mated by General Manager Ten Brink t h a t the total profi t was two hundred dollars—a sum which will

help to lessen the Athlet ic deficit in g r e a t style. Manager Ten Brink, Pres ident of the Association, and " S t r e t c h " Sluyter , T reasu re r , were mainly responsible f o r m a n -aging the whole Carnival . The i r efforts, combined with the zeal of th^ societies, succeeded in pu t t ing across th is f amous jamboree.

Each society did its best—and of course did fine. Between the Fo r -tune Tellers and the Big Babies ( there was really only a shee t ) , t he Magicians and the Three-bal ls-for-a-nickel Boys, the Have-your-pic-ture-painted-while-you-wait booth and the Ducking Ducks, the " H i a -w a t h a " Boys with the i r bow and a r row and the Oiled Dolls (we know now why they ' re so s l ippery) , the Food Corner and the Terr ible Zoo, the pastel pa in ter ' s corner and the Dorm Cooking Exhibit ion, and finally the "You ' re fined" Boys with thei r white-haired chief watching to prevent any pick-pocketing, murders , or scandal ,—

between them all the re was no end of din and frolic.

Contest Exci t ing And then the contest fo r queen

of the carnival! Suspense all of the t ime! Last minu te bal lot ing! And then the counting of the votes climaxed the whole two nights of excitement. Miss Hazel Albers of the Senior class was voted the honor of being the Queen of the Carnival .

The "Chamber of H o r r o r s " is than said to have inspired more ga l l an t ry than any th ing else. Three girls fa inted, and in the s tampede tha t followed to lend assis tance to the "weake r" sex, one poor young fellow was crushed to death. W h a t price, ga l l an t ry !

And the orchestra pepped th ings up no small bit, too. Thei r biggest trouble w a s making themselves heard.

Crowd Hilar ious

Such a laughing, shekel-spending, fun-loving, happy-go-lucky crowd has not massed together f o r a long time. I t ' s an epoch, t r u l y ! The "Laug- t r a ined" snake which clung affectionately to i ts mas te r ' s neck

was almost punched to death by one of our young u p s t a r t s who thought it w a s only a cloth covered spr ing.

And so we could go on and on, but each remark would have to be complimentary if i t were to be

t rue, and each conclusion a credit if it were to be authent ic .

Pastor Addresses Home Volunteers

F a t h e r Douglas of the Grace Episcopal Church led one of the most in teres t ing meetings, las t Fr i -day t h a t the Home Volunteers have experienced this year . He spoke of the history and polity of his church.

OUR MONEY AND THEIR TIME

Our professors are overworked most of them carrying

extra curricular work besides a twenty-hour week. Not t ha t

they complain, they are loyal and love their work. But they,

too, recognize that there should be time to carry on the

personal work so desirable and necessary.

Many students are working their way through college —

honestly eager for an education.

Do you see a connection ?

Have you ever stopped to consider the poverty of schol-

arships in the school? There is reason fo r it, of course —

we are not a richly endowed institution and there are so

many places where money is really needed. But there is

here a good opportunity for a college "symbiosis."

Any English professor could tell of a mountain of rou-

tine work t ha t could jus t as well be levelled by a lesser

mind. In the science department this fact has been taken

advantage of, to a certain extent. The librarian especially

could use a few of a s tudent 's hours every day — in jus t

such a simple task as putting away books.

For work like this a student might be allowed his tuition

or fees and would in his turn live up to the requirements of

a scholarship.

It means eased nerves, bet ter work on the par t of pro-fessors. It means increased effort to gain the mark, and bet ter work on the part of the student. Best of all, it means better spirit all around.

. . Xjfii1 would :be benefactors, y.pu who desire | h e grat i tude of present and fu tu re generations of Hope — here is your chance!

INFORMAL DISCUSSION

When a Northwestern Dean cast his s t amp of approval on "bull sessions" recently, he eased the conscience of thou-sands of s tudents who have been harassed by the idea that they were wasting time by engaging in such informal dis-cussions.

It is consoling to realize tha t educators are beginning to admit the value of this natural working of the s tudent 's minds. In the near fu ture , these "bull sessions" may de-velop into a new type of education which will be founded mainly upon informal discussions between students and faculty members. The erroneous idea tha t only trivial mat-ters were discussed a t the "bull sessions" is fas t passing. Current topics of interest anjd questions of modern thought in various lines often form the subjects fo r discussion.

Bull sessions" have in many points the better of class room discussions. Ideas in the class room have no time to be evolved, whereas in the informal discussion they have a chance to grow out of real interest. Fur ther , the student does not dread his turn on the floor; r a ther he fights for a break in the discussion.

It is interesting and well worth while to sit in at these informal discussions to watch the flow of real ideas and the reactions made upon minds used to being passive in the classroom. It is no wonder tha t such sessions break up in the small hours of the morning with a vague conception of in-finity, or some equally puzzling the t ry , hanging in the bal-ance to be fought out some other time.

THE OLD AND THE N E W Sometimes things seem to be permanent . The stone

s t ructure of Winants Chapel gives an impression of being enduring. Yet only a short distance away another edifice is arising to displace it. Each in its place. The old must give way to the new. The building of the outside world, the accepted beliefs of a past age, the leader of yesterday, — all come to a period of lessening usefulness and eventuallv to the end.

I t is this thought which Thomson had in mind when he wrote the poem entitled, "Yielding Place":

They are building a new bridge over the river, And the sweet air is full all day

Of the noise of riveting hammers And cranes toiling away.

All day the old men from the village Stand agape, with listless eyes,

On the old bridge, which has lasted their time. Watching the framework rise."

This is a picture of the law we find in operation on the campus today. Winants Chapel is being overshadowed by the new and the grea ter and is yielding place. There is a certain beauty in yielding. Better a life of service well done than a longer life of impaired usefulness.

Student : "Oh, pardon me, sir. I thought you were the dean."

The fire bell rang. A student leaning out of a third story win-dow fell out. The heavy machine passed over his pros t ra te body.

"That ' s what comes of being a football player," he said, as he brushed off the dust with a deli-

i cate white handkerchief. "Now I'll have to go to classes a f t e r all."

An item in the Kalamazoo Col-letjc Index states that as the result of careful ly compiled statistics from various countries, Der Deutsche of Berlin reports tha t a total of 2,976 languages are spoken

throughout the world. This num-ber includes many barbaric means of expression used in various ob-scure corners of the ear th. Of the 8(50 distinctive languages spoken today, 48 are current in Europe, 153 in Asia, 424 in North and South Americas, and 117 in

Oceana.

So you nee these fellows that a re able to speak fifteen languages aren't so deuced clever a f t e r all.

Here 's a good one from the Poli/lerhnic Reporter: A ra ther in-terest ing controversy arose at the University of Wisconsin over the fact tha t the gir ls of tha t institu-tion commonly get higher marks than the boys. The question was : do girls get higher marks than the men because they linger a f t e r class and flirt with the instructor? Of

! course all the teachers denied the implication, but the fact was finally

| disclosed that one instructor wrote the following comment at the end of a girl 's theme: "I should like to give you better grades because you have such an exquisite soul—so do study."

According to the Normal Colleye News, telescopes of the Lick Ob-servatory of the University of Cali-fornia have been trained on the sky to locate a mysterious planet, re-

ported to have invaded our solar system, but as yet the s t ranger has not been found.

Professor R. G. Aitken, associate director of Lick Observatory, said the theory advanced by Professor

W. H. Pickering of Yale, tha t the s t range orb had pulled other plan-ets from their usual orbits was being investigated.

"We have been car ry ing on ob-servations in the portion of the sky estimated by Professor Pickering as the probable location of the mysterious planet, but so f a r we have not discovered anything."

FORTNEY'S BARBER SHOP

A D V I C E

Firs t there was Marjorie, a sweet little girl,

Whose head was adorned by a wee tiny curl.

I fell for her beauty and fell pretty hard,

Not one earthly power our love could retard,

I vowed on my honor I'd never de-part

From the first of the dear little queens of my heart.

But soon I met Gertrude a cute little blonde,

She beat all the others of whom I was fond.

The glances she cast f rom her won-derful eyes

Gave me a conception .of f a r para-dise.

I must have been stricken by cu-pid's own dar t

On meeting the second fair queen of my heart .

And third there was Peggy, a reg-ular pal,

She understood me—that wonder-ful gal!

She taught me my lessons of women and men

And revealed to me wonders before past my ken.

Her virtue was smiling and wink-ing, her a r t—

She was the third of the queens of my heart.

But Peggy met Gertie and Gertie met M a r g e -

Then came the disaster, and, boy! it was large.

Those girls got together and dir t high and wide

Flew thru the ozone, while I watch-ing, sighed.

I'm get t ing quite blue as this tale I impar t .

For alas! there went all of the queens of my heart.

The Moral of All This—

Friend, hear and heed all these things tha t 1 tell.

Follow them closely and you will do well.

Many as may be the queens of your heart ,

Cherish them, love them but —

KEEP THEM APART!

New President Leads Meeting

The Y. W. C. A. meeting last Thursday was in charge of the new president, Sarah Kloester . The song service was led by Martha Van Buren, and the Scripture was read by Myrtle Kloester. A f t e r sen-tence prayers, Harr ie t Schurman played a violin solo. Sarah Kloes-ter then spoke on the subject "The Place t h a t Christian Religion has in Our Lives." One of the greates t questions today is "Wha t is the meaning of l i f e ? " Her answer was tha t we must glor i fy God, and if God is above all, we must make Y. W. hold first place in our col-lege life. If Y. W. is not what i t should be, it is up to every girl on the campus to give it a boost. Each girl needs Y. W. and Y. W. needs each girl.

Mr. ( '19) and Mrs. ('18) J . Ter Borg find Kagoshima and the sur rounding country good ground

for seed-sowing. The auto is much used in reaching the out-ly-ing districts, and the Tanshinkwon Library rooms in the hear t of the city constitute a center for the work.

What fte Hope graduates who are in J apan are doing:

Dr. ('83) and Mrs. A. Oltmans. The sudden death of their son Har-vey, who lived with them on the Meiji Gakuin Compound in Tokyo, has lef t a place in the hear ts and homes which cannot be filled. But they are bravely car ry ing on, and Mrs. Oltmans, who was quite ill in the summer, is regaining her s t rength.

Miss Evelyin Oltmans, Hope Prep '10. Living with her parents in Tokyo, she finds abundant opportunity for work among the children and their mothers.

Mr. and Mrs. H. V. E . Stege-man, '12, make their home on the Meiji Gakuin compound in Tokyo, though Mr. Stegeman has to go by a suburban trolley to his classes a t the Theological Seminary, and still f a r the r to visit his evangelistic field on the Izu Peninsula.

Mr. C. Dykhuizen, '25, makes his home with Dr. and Mrs. A. Olt-mans, and teaches in Meiji Gakuin.

Fi r s t of all we wish to congratu-late our humor editors on their new good for tune of preserved originality. J u s t . think of the great t r ea t in store for us when other magazines and papers are not allowed to copy any jokes found in any college papers. Un-for tunately the opposite process is not prohibited.

Ju s t a suggestion to Stanley Van Lore.—The next time he takes a young lady to a beach pa r ty we advise him first to look to his gas.

Jeannet te Vander Naald is slow-ly recovering f rom a grea t shock. One day last week in Voorhees din-ing hall, five vegetables were served a t one meal, not for the pur-pose of converting students to vegetarianism, either. The event has never before had its equal in the history of the school.

Floyd Kleinjon defines gossip as something which is a waste of time, a waste of energy, and a public nuisance. If the student body un-reservedly agrees, we will be very happy to be relieved of the neces-sity of wri t ing this column in the future .

Our deepest sympathy goes out to the four Voorheesites who are now in the midst of the soli tary pleasures of a social campus. But it is the rest of us who will suffer the next week when they make up

for it. We hear several of the men are suffering equal torments.

Voorhees girls take this oppor-unity to thank the kind soul who donated the parking sign which decorated the f r o n t steps last week. Jus t wha t is the significance, we ask? Surely you don't think it has a duty to perform there.

Some more sympathy—this time to Gertrude Benes. Mumps, on both sides, is most anything but a laughing mat ter , so Gertrude says. Hope to see you again soon in a slightly reduced condition.

HOPE LOSES FIRST GAME

OF SEASON W. S. T. C. PLAYERS HAND OUT

AN EIGHT TO ONE DEFEAT

Hope opened the baseball season last Tuesday afternoon, meeting Wegtern State Teachers College at Kalamazoo. The game ended dis-astrously for Hope, the Orange and Blue men coming out with the short

end of an 8-1 count. The game had originally been

scheduled for April 14, but due to inclement weather the contest was

postponed until the middle of the week.

Make Mi splays Cole, veteran pitcher of the Hope

nine, pitched a good game and, but fo r a few unfortunate misplays on the par t of his teammates, would have pitched his team into a vic-tory. At lea»t, there is no doubt oa the par t of the spectators tha t the game would have been much closer.

The defeat , however, was costly. Manager Kleis, playing second

base, injured a knee tha t was weak-ened by football. I^ee will be out for a major part of the season, if not for good. First baseman Hyink injured an ankle and will be forced to watch from the bench a few games.

HOPE TO MEET KAZOO COLLEGE

This af ternoon Hope will cross bats with Kalamazoo College at Riverview Park in the first base-ball game between the schools this season. Incidentally, this will be the first home game of the year and should be well attended.

The game will probably resolve

into a pitcher's duel. Cole of Hope and Watson of Kalamazoo are both veterans in the box and the fans of the summer sport should see some classy performance in the course of

the afternoon.

TRACKSTERS TO RUN AT KAZOO

Next Sa turday the track squad will mak® its initial appearance of the season a t Kalamazoo in a dual meet with the Hornet squad. Al-though the boys have been handi-capped by the unfor tunate non-existence of a proper running track, they have been training fai thful ly in the past few weeks. Therefore we are expecting them to show up well against Kalamazoo.

The Hornet squad has not been troubled with the lack of proper facilities as the Dutchmen have, and if the boys can br ing home a victory, it will be a fea ther in their

caps, indeed.

Rain Sends Hope Team Back Home

The second game of the baseball season has been postponed until the early part of May. Inclement weather postponed Saturday's game with Albion. The baseball team arrived in a driving rain which necessitated the postponement.

As the old Greeks would say, the gods are apparently against Hope's meeting Albion. Last year three games were called off because of weather conditions and there seems to be a beginning of the same pro-cedure. There is now a necessity of making another t r ip to Albion.

Hope to Play Doubleheader

At Hillsdale On Saturday of this week Hope

will journey to Hillsdale to engage in a doubleheader with the Hills-dale outfit. This will be the first meeting with Hillsdale on the dia-mond and it will be interesting to note how these two teams stack up.

Tkis meeting will be the first and only doubleheader of the season and will tax the pitchers of both teams. Cole and Van Lente are expected to do the hur l ing for the Orange and Blue with Van Oss and

Becken in reserve.

COLONIAL and STRAND Theatres

By John Visser Hope will meet a very s t rong

team in Kalamazoo College, if the latter 's recont game with Notre Dame waa an indication of strength. All that pitcher Watson did for Kazoo was to hold the South Bend outfit to three hits, but due to e r rors on the par t of the Kazoo men, Notre Dame emerged victorious, by a score of Ii-0. When Clint Cole and this man Watson lock hprns, the fans ought to wit-nesyf t ie finest pitching duel of the

cemury.

Western State Teachers' College has undertaken to play some high class teams this season, including Notre Dame, University of Chica-go, and the University of Virginia. Oh! for some s ta te contributions to

our athletic fund .

Har ry Kipke, besides indulging in some strenuous Spring Grid t ra ining with sixty candidates for the team, has undertaken an ambi-tious speaking tour. Within the last few months, he has addressed Michigan State Alumni Clubs in | Chicago, Minneapolis, Milwaukee,1

Detroit, Grand Rapids, and numer- j ous other cities.

Reports emanat ing from the Alma camp have it tha t this insti-1 tution of higher learning is also possessed of a real ball team, '

.which includes a veteran pitching staff, a s well as veteran support ing lineup. We have yet to hear f rom

Olivet and Hillsdale. It seems as though Lee Kleis

will never again don an athletic i uniform for Hope. The in ju ry .^uf- j

fered in the Flint J r . College foot-ball game, has not sufficiently mended to permit his fu r the r par-ticipatioh in intercollegiate sports. The knee was once more thrown out in the game against Western Sta te and Hope's chances were given a set back as a result.

The State Colleges and Normal i schools, now called teachers ' col-J leges, were well represented at the Ohio State Relay at Columbus. Al-bion, Western State, Ypsilanti, Central State, Michigan State, and Kalamazoo, all were entered in one or more events. We hope to see the day when track will be developed a t Hope to the extent tha t this in-stitution may be represented.
