Lubbers Retires, Vander Werf New Prexy

Dr. Irwin Lubbers

By Gerry Wolf

"If I had my life to live over, I would make the same mis-takes," said Dr. Irwin Lubbers, a man whose mistakes have led him to greater heights.

After 18 years as President of Hope College, Dr. Lubbers at the June meeting of the Board of Trustees announced his retire-ment, following 46 years of achi-evement.

Before Dr. Lubbers could col-lect another dollar for the col-lege — which "le will continue doing as a consultant to the col-lege for the next three years — another Hope graduate was named the college's eighth Pres-ident.

Dr. Calvin Vander Werf, class of '37, will succeed Dr. Lubbers, July 1, 1963 following Dr. Lub-bers' retirement, Feb. 1, 1963. None has been appointed inter-rim President but "the organi-zation will be in good hands," according to Dr. Lubbers.

Dr. Lubbers had deferred a decision to retire for ^fcveral years because of the Board's desire for him to care for Hope's expansion program, which is accomplished or adequately be-gun, according to the Board.

In selecting Dr. Vander Werf as President, the Board pointed to his significant academic ac-complishments, his familiarity with aims of the liberal arts, and

his long relationship with the college and the R e f o r m e d Church.

Dr. Vander Werf, acknow-ledged as one of the country's outstanding educators and chem-ists, now serves as chairman of the chemistry department at Kansas University. Last spring he was awarded an unrestricted $50,000 grant by A m e r i c a n Chemical Society Petroleum Re-search fund.

Ekdal Buys Sr., chairman of the Board, commenting on Lub-bers' retirement said:

"During Dr. Lubbers' Presi-dency, Hope College has enjoy-ed tremendous advances in ma-

Pre-School Conference Discusses Hope's Role

Why is Hope here? This was the question raised

last Friday as faculty and re-presentative students met to study the problem of "the mis-sion of the church college in the modern world," in an all-day pre-school conference.

Wells in the Desert The opening meditation was

given by Dr. Joseph Zsiros of the Greek Department.

Presenting Old Testament re-ferences to the importance of established desert wells, upon which the people depended for pure water. Dr. Zsiros pointed to the analogous position of the Christian college in the spiritual life of modern mankind.

Down Pour Inundates Buildings

Yesterday Hope College re^ ceived its long awaited swim-mng pool: on the Ground Floor of Graves Hall, in the Blue Key Bookstore and the Kletz.

So much water fell yesterday after 3:00 p.m. that the weather watcher in Holland could not leave his office to look at" the meter. The weather bureau re-ported tornado warnings and winds over 45 m.p.h.

In Graves Hall over 25 stu-dents were disturbed from their smoking by water running thru the hall into the student lounge.

Two Graves Hall custodians spent over an hour trying to catch up with the water flowing thru the Ground Floor en-trance. They estimated at least 25 gallons came in the building.

By 4:00 p.m. the water had started to leak thru the ceiling in the student lounge and seep thru the cover over the rear en-trance to Graves Hall.

The custodians in Graves say that the drains are not large enough and a pump will have to be bought to keep ahead of the water. It was coming in faster than they could mop.

For the first time in the his-tory of the Blue Key Bookstore

• and the Kletz water was report-ed. It came thru the back door at the Blue Key and ran out into the bookstore proper. It was reported that the bookstore re-mained open for business, even with the cashier standing in water.

Our forefathers, he said, have dug their spiritual wells deep, and Hope College is a positive evidence of this. Thus our in-stitution must remain a depend-able source of living water from spiritual depths.

Chapel Rules Revamped Board of Review Added Key members of the Adminis-

trative and Religious Life Com-mittees met last Saturday noon at a luncheon in Phelps Hall with students representing var-ious campus groups to discuss a new chapel system proposed for this year.

The committees drafted the plan this summer and wished to discover student reaction to

AERIAL VIEW LOOKING SOUTH ON THE COLLEGE CAMPUS

Frosh Program Begins - Full Steam Ahead By Paul Lucas

Although final figures were not available at press time, the Admissions Office estimated that about 422 incoming .Creshmen have swelled Hope's student ranks in this 98th year of our college's history.

So 422 or so new freshmen had to be settled and acquainted with Hope College ways of life.

The Freshmen Orientation Program was designed to ac-complish this in a formal way. Monday saw the wandering herds settling down to the busi-ness of taking English, foreign language, math, chemistry, and reading tests.

This done, the new students enjoyed a picnic at Kollen Park and later a mixer sponsored by the S.C.A.

Tuesday .found them taking personality tests and tours, and working out schedules with their counselors. In the evening a formal ' reception was held at

President Lubbers' home. Wed-nesday was for registration.

Equally important, however, was the more informal part of Freshman Training, where up-perclassmen took it upon them-selves to see that freshmen learned well the "lessons of humility, servitude, and willing-ness to assist the esteemed up-perclassmen." Required acces-

sories such as beanies and name cards aided in this effort.

But the freshmen managed to retaliate a little—for instance in the Blue Key Bookstore where 14 pairs of legs were kept active running after biology books and unboxing more freshman comp texts.

Tensions will probably subside after the Kangaroo Court sen-tences the major offenders next Friday afternoon in the Pine Grove.

the system before it was defin-itely adopted for use.

The Proposal The new regulations would re-

quire freshmen to sit in assigned seats and sophomores and jun-iors to submit monthly chapel attendance reports. The seniors would not have to turn in re-ports. Seventy percent attend-ance would be expected of all.

Those not meeting require-ments would be sent a warn-ing notice after two months of violation. After three months of insufficient attendance a student would appear before a Chapel Board of Review comprised of four students, one faculty mem-ber, and one administration member; this Board could take disciplinary action after a semes-ter of violation.

The system was seen to pre-sent advantages in its general "educational" approach—making sure that freshmen were intro-duced to the chapel program and considering the seniors to be trustworthy to attend without checking devices. The Chapel Board of Review would also en-courage responsibility in chapel attendance and allow for more personal attention and indivi-dual consideration in all cases.

Student Reaction The students present, how-

ever, had misgivings about set-ting apart the freshmen ifor as-signed seating for so long a time. In fact, a final vote showed them to be unanimously against this part of the plan.

As to the question of the sen-iors, opinion was divided. Some felt that the senior should have to report as everyone else, while others favored freeing the sen-iors from the attendance report.

Revision Accepted On the following Monday Dr.

Hollenbach sent to the members of the Administrative and Reli-gious Life Committees a revised set of chapel regulations for their approval.

Based upon the student sug-gestions made at the Saturday meeting, the revision would re-quire personal chapel reports of all students, except seniors with acceptable attendance re-cords, who would not have to turn in reports their final semes-ter before graduation. In other respects it was essentially the same as the earlier proposal.

The committee members ap-proved this revised plan, and a detailed description of the new regulations will be forwarded to students soon.

Three Retiring Professors Plan to Loaf & World Travel

Besides the announced retire-ment of Dr. Lubbers three fac-ulty members have retired and five are studying and_teaching elsewhere.

Retiring faculty members who were honored at the Board of Trustees luncheon held in June were Mrs. Peter Prins, chair-man of the French department; Mrs. Norma Hark Baughman, assistant professor of music, and Oscar Thompson, chairman of the biology department.

Tributes by Dr. Clarence De Graaf, chairman of the English department, and Henry Steffens on behalf of the Board of Trus-tees spoke of retiring member's service to the college. Thompson taught at Hope for 36 years; Mrs. Prins, Hope graduate of 1917, for 25 years; Baughman for 15% years.

Others leaving the faculty are Dr. Alice Elliott, who has ac-cepted a position at Missouri Central State College; Albert Schaberg and his wife of the music department who are going to University" of Kentucky; Dry

Ford Foundation Grant Includes Hope in Co-op

Hope College will be one of 37 Midwestern colleges and univer-sities participating in a coopera-tive program to recruit and pre-pare able students for careers as college teachers.

The program will be support-ed by a $975,000 grant from the Ford Foundation to the Univer-sity of Chicago which will ad-minister the program designed to organize an experimental three-year Master of Arts pro-gram for prospective college teachers.

Under the University of Chi-cago program, the curriculum for each subject will be develop-ed by representatives from the

The Foundation's grant will be used over a five-year period primarily to release faculty members at the university and cooperating colleges from their regular classroom duties to plan curricula, prepare examinations, and counsel students.

"Many outstanding students are discouraged from college teaching because the program of studies and length of time re-quired for a Ph.D. are so inde-finite," said Clarence H. Faust, vice president of the foundatioiji. tme experimental three - year M.A. projects, now gaining momentum throughout the na-tion, provide the articulation graduate programs need and

liberal-arts coUeges w o r k i n g help to aUeviate the serious with the university. Following shortage of college teachers." the senior year, students will transfer to the university to complete graduate work and gain experience in teaching un-der supervision.

In each of three years, the University will provide full-tuition scholarships for 50 stu-dents coming to Chicago for the third year of the program — a total of 150 scholarships.

The Ford Foundation also an-nounced a grant of $2 million to support a major reorganization of the American Council on Edu-cation. The Council is the prin-cipal coordinating agency for higher education in the United States; its membership includes 1,077 colleges and universities and 145 national and regional associations.

Simon De Vries, who will teach at Methodist Theological Semin-ary; John Hilbert of the speech department and John Depree of Spanish department are return-ing to school for graduate work.

Mrs. Prins, who in her 25 years of teaching has seen three college presidents come and go, is mainly retiring to s p e n d time with grandchildren." Speak-ing about students she said:

"Students through the years have been an intrinsically fine group. I think the students of the present have a greater a awareness of their opportunities than earlier students, but I'm not sure if they work harder because they are interested in the sub-ject, or for the grade."

Mrs. Prins and her husband are presently on an extended air-tour of the world which began June 23 at Seattle, Wash, and will end in Rome Sept. 2. They will return to Holland in late Sept.

Mrs. Baughman's fifty years in professional music include playing light opera in New York, and doing concert work on CBS radio before coming to Hope in 1947 to teach full time. She will continue to have private students at her home here in town.

"Faculty members endowed with character stand out in my memory,'* says Oscar Thompson1'• "Dr. Nykerk ifor example — he was vice president of a sort. When Dr. Dimnent went away Dr. Nykerk took over. He saved all his grievances against the students to act on during those brief days of being in charge," he added.

This type of story besides the deep esteem the students held for Thompson—elected an hon-orary member of Blue Key last spring — establishes Thompson in memories of graduates. The future sees him "puttering a-round my garden."

A good practical pen for everyone.

Everybody likes the L1NDY.

It writes nice.

Lots of students buy two or three at a time.

Maybe because it's only 39^. Maybe because there are twelve brilliant ink colors.

Or maybe they just like to have two or three or twelve around.

Also nice to have around:

long history of this academic building.

Completely remodeled at a cost of over $125,000, Graved can be called the newest acade-mic building on the Hope cam-pus even though its history dates il as one of the college's oldest.

Originally erected as Graves Library and Winants Chapel in 1894, the connecting stone buid-ings have both served as the library since 1926 upon the com-pletion of Dimnent Memorial Chapel. When the Van Zoeren Library was open in the ifall of 1961, Graves was temporarily adapted as a classroom building.

In January of this year, how-ever, the building was closed and the complete remodeling process began.

Although the outside of the building still looks the same, the interior has been completely re-built. Where formerly stood the book stacks are now much need-ed classrooms and faculty offi-ces. Areas on the ground floor which used for storage now house modern offices for student organizations and publications.

Also on this floor is the stu-dent lounge, five organ practice rooms, the Public Relations of-ifice, and the beautiful Schoon

Memorial Meditation Chapel named in honor of the last Rev. Henry Schoon, former Dean of the Chapel and professor • of Greek.

The language laboratory, lo-cated on the second floor, has been doubled in size, and stu-dents in the same room will be able to simultaneously listen and respond to (four different language lessons at any one of the 70 new booths. Part of the lab was built and installed by two Holland students, Richard Brand and Paul Lucas.

Other campus improvements include the opening of two new women's cottages, Mandeville Cottage at 126 East 12th Street and Dosker Cottage at 106 East 9th Street are being used to house freshmen women.

In Van Raalte Hall, the col-ege's main classroom and ad-ministration building, the Coffee Kletz lounge has been redecora-ted in an Early American motif and a separate faculty lounge has been added.

Business Manager Rein Vis-scher reported that improve-ments were made and redecora-ting was done is almost every college building.

More Girls, More Cottages, More Problems, More...

By Susan Spring The increasing demand for

Ireshman girls has necessitated the opening of two new cottages; Mandeville, previously housing the publication offices, and Dos-ker. The latter is located at 106 Ninth Street, directly behind Gilmore.

Dosker girls are being guided by two junior women, Linda De Witt and Karen Voskuil. Both counselors are effervescent a-bout their homey abode.

Some of the readily seen ad-vantages (fellows) are two spacious porches with plenty of leaning room, and two small lounges for colder weather. The rugs may be thin and worn, but there's adequate seating. The •furniture should arrive soon.

Upon asking the green-capped tenants their immediate reac-tion to the house, a deluge of comments flowed: the showers leak, there has been a great flooding of the facilities, there is a need for light bulbs in the cave-like closets. Each girl was optimistic,- however, seeming only to regret the building of a shower directly upon the cellar door. What is a cottage without a readily accessible cellar, or garage?

Karen commented that she was quickly becoming accus-tomed to unusual visitors at un-usual hours.

"A knock on our bedroom door could be anything from a work-man coming in to build a cup-board, an interior decorator, a group of eager upperclassmen girls (led by one Miss Snod-looking for a group of Dosker grass) or a parent who is ad-vising that the lawn sprinkler

Tillema Wins Essay Contest

Herbert K. Tillema, Hope jun-ior now attending American University Semester in Wash-ington, D.C., recently placed sec-ond in a state wide collegiate essay contest.

"Should Michigan's Attorney General Be Appointed," by Til-lema, won him $100 in the con-test sponsored by the Michigan Center .for Education in Politics.

First prize went to a University of Michigan student and third to a Ferris Institute student.

The year's subject was the Michigan constitutional conven-tion.

"Learning" Theme

At Convocation Hope College officially began

its second century yestedray at 9 a.m. with convication in Dim-nent Memorial Chapel.

The main address was deliver-ed by Dr. Roger Heyns, former Dean of Liberal Arts at Michi-gan University and -Vice Presi-dent of Academic Affairs at the University. The title of the ad-dress was "The Center of Light.'-

Dr. Heyns contrasted the con-cepts of the college as a center of "learning" to the college as institution. He said:

"In a center of learning the teacher has become the expert in producing the conditions for learning. He is not and can be no longer just a source of infor-mation."

The implication for the stu-dent,- according to Dr. Heyns, is increased resonsibility ifor the student to exploit his environ-ment. "The classroom is just one place for learning," he said.

Presiding at this, his last con-vocation, was President Irwin Lubbers. The invocation, scrip-ture and benediction were $ $ e n by the Rev. Bernard Brunsting, D.D.

be changed As water is leaking through the walls of the lounge. You just never know."

Aifairs in Mandeville seem a little more settled. Counselors Sharon Cady and Mary Iperlaan have been leading tour after tour of students to see the strangely transformed house.

Mr. Kruyf's office is still a lounge. The Opus, Milestone, and Anchor offices are now ruffled and feminine in pink and baby blue, with bunks and boy-friends' pictures filling . the spaces that were once cluttered with work tables.

Here, too, is a goodly porch with adequate railing and steps to sit on and watch the world go by, . . . right into Kollen Hall, next door.

Calling hours are week-days noon until 1:00; Friday: 4:00 un-til closing hour; Saturady: noon until closing hour; Sunday: after Church until closing hour.

Endeavor Chooses Robrahn

Ralph E. Robrahn, Hope sen-ior from Grandville, was named recently, "Endeavorer of the Year" for 1962 by the Intema-tiontal Society of Christian En-deavor.

For his achievement Robrahn received an all-expense paid trip of $150 to the 1962 Endeavor summer assembly in Huntington, Ind., July 2-7.

Robrahn was nominated by the youth society of Eighth Re-formed Church of Grand Rap-ids. The nomination required activities in Christian Endeavor, church, denominational, inter-denominational and community

The Endeavor of the Year se-lection was inaugurated last year to recognize the outstanding young person in Endeavor and to encourage youth in their Christian witness, according to Harold E. WesterHoff, general secretary.

He plans to enter Western Theological Seminary u p o n graduation in June.

WHERE'S HOPE COLLEGE? — Many confused students and parents were helped in finding their destination during the first days of frshman orientation by the Information Booth in front of Van Raalte Hall. The project was organized by Alpha Phi Omega, men's service fraternity.

Ecuadorian Wins Trip

and Scholarship to Hope Jaime Zeas, an economics stu-

dent from Cuenca, Ecuador, has been awarded a $1500 scholar-ship by the Holland Rotary Club and has enrolled for Hope's fall semester.

He is one of 16 Latin Ameri-can students who have been a-warded travel grants by Braniff International Airways. Each Braniff award consists of a round trip ticket from one of 11 Lat-in American cities served by the airline to one of 42 cities on its

domestic route. After returning to Ecuador a

year from now to complete his university studies, Zeas plans to enter the government and also to teach.

A former English teacher wrote of him:

"I was impressed with him from the beginning. I felt he was a serious student and his command of English language astounds me because he has never been to the U.S."

Kooiker Wins Doc's Degree

Anthony Kooiker, a member of the music faculty at Hope College, received his Ph. D. in musicology from the Eastman School of the University of Rochester this August.

Dr. Kooiker has also been promoted to a full professor of music at Hope accord-i n g t o Dr . John Hollen-b a c h, v i c e president.

Kooker's dissertation topic was "Locke's Melothesia: its place in the history and devel-opment of the keyboard suite in Restoration England." Melothesia is a collection of keyboard pieces for harpsicord and organ made in 1673 by Matthew Locke. Nine other composers of the period are included in addition to Locke.

Prior to joining Hope's faculty in 1950, Mr. Kooiker was accom-panist for the noted violinist Al-bert Spalding. He has made numerous appearances as a piano soloist both locally and around the country. In 1954 he made his New York debut at Town Hall. During World War II he pre-sented many piano recitals in the U.S.O. centers of the nation's army camps.

Dr. Kooiker, a native of Hull, Iowa, received his B.A. degree from Northwestern University and his Master of Music from the Eastman School of Music and has studied at the Juliard School of Music in New York City. In Paris he studied with Georges Enesco, world famous Roumanian composer and con-ductor. From 1943 to 1947 he was a member of the music faculty at Central College in Pella, Iowa.

terial and spiritual areas. The college looks forward (in Dr. Vander Werf) to the continua-tion of Dr. Lubbers' progressive philosophy of education."

Buys listed the success of the recently completed $3 million "Looking Ahead with Hope" program as showing Dr. Lub-bers' devotion to the college. Buys also pointed out that since Dr. Lubbers took office in 1945, the college has grown from 700 students and 42 professors to 1500 students and 100 professors. Buys continued:

"The Board has accepted Dr. Lubbers' resignaiton with sin-cere regret. We are happy, how-ever, that he has consented to be 'on call' for three additional years of counseling."

Although the college popula-tion has more than doubled un-der Dr. Lubbers, he has not lost contact with the students. An article in April *62 Alumni Ma-gazine said:

"Each student interviewed had some personal contact with the head administrator and felt pri-viledged to have it."

To the student Dr. Lubbers has been friend, confidant, leader and ifather. In the same article Dean Overman, sophomore class president, said: "I feel at home with Dr. Lubbers."

Wherever Dr. Lubbers is found, in the office or at home, or wherever Dr. Lubbers finds the students, a good word is heard. Paul Armstrong, J u n e graduate, said:

"The first day I was here. Dr. Lubbers sat down with me in the Kletz. I thought that was unusual because at my former school, (Cornell) we never saw the President."

Besides informally trying to know the students. Lubbers has encouraged close student rela-tions through President's lunch-eons held several times a year, at which a cross section of stu-dents meet with him to air opin-ions.

In recent years, with the col-lege growing. Dr. Lubbers has said that these luncheons were most necerssary. When Dr. Lub-bers became President, however the college was so intimate that students would often come to his home with problems.

Vander Werf's Power

Even during Dr. Vander Werf's college days, he held power and influence. Besides a four-point academic average and member of Blue Key National Honor Society, he was president of stu-dent council and edited the anchor.

Preceding 1935-36, the year Dr. Vander Werf took over the helm of the anchor, the paper had been shaken with abused responsibility by the editor and generally poor journalism. Un-der Vander Werf the anchor gained respect and increased in size from four to six pages. At the time the paper was printed bi-monthly.

Little did Dr. Vander Werf know that, as president of the student council, the labeled head of the student body, his training would a quarter of a century later bring him to the head posi-tion of the college, a "real" voice

in setting college policy.

Lubbers' Retirement

After his retirement. Dr. and Mrs. Lubbers will continue to reside at a home on South Shore Drive in Holland, purchased in recent years. He plans to devote major portion of his time to duties as president of North Central Association of colleges and Secondary schools, to which he. wag selected last spring.

Sinoe 1945, under Dr. Lubbers administration, the college has added:

Music Hall, Van Zoeren Libr-ary; Phelps, Kollen and Durfee Halls; Van Raalte (athletic) campus; Renovation of Carnie-gie Gym and Graves Hall; Six dormitories now under construc-

tion; Physics and Math Hall to be built.

As an individual Dr. Lubbers has honored himself and the col-lege as vice-president of Nation-al Council of Churches, winner of Freedom Foundation Award in 1953, and Michigan represent-ative at one of the recent White House Conferences on Education.

Preceding Dr. Lubbers as President are some names fami-liar on campus buildings:

Wichers, Wynand, 1930 - 45; Dimnent, Edaward, 1918-30; Vennema, Rev. Ame, 1911-18; Kollen, Gerrit, 1893-1911; Scott, Charles, 1885-93; Phelps, Phillip, 1866-85.

The past . five presidents, in-cluding Dr. Vander Werf, have been hope College graduates.

Lubbers' Biography Dr. Lubbers received his A. B. degree from Hope in 1917, M.A.

from Columbia University in 1927, and his Ph.D. in 1931. He holds

the following honorary degrees: Doctor of Laws from Central Col-

lege in Pella, Iowa; Doctor of Literature from Hope College; and

Doctor of Literature from Rutgers University.

He lectured in English at Voorhees College, Vellore, India from

1919 to 1922 and taught English at Hope from 1923 to 1924. He be-

came an instructor in education at Northwestern University in

1929-30. From 1930 thru 1934 he was assistant to the president of Carroll College. Dr. Lubbers became president of Central College

in Iowa in 1934, and held the post until 1945 when he became

Hope's seventh President.

Vander Werf's Biography Reared in Holland, Dr. Vander Werf was an A-student at Hol-

land High School and Hope College. Following graduation from

Hope in 1937, he attended Ohio State University where he receiv-

ed a Ph. D. in 1941. joining the faculty of the University of Kansts

Parisian Exchange Student Helps Dutch With French

By Kathy Verduin Paris, for most of us is only

a magic name on the map of Europe — or at best an enchan-ting vacationland.

We know its historical signifi-cance, we have seen photographs of its dazzling sights, but still the City of Light seems to quiet-ly stand separate; Notre Dame, the Seine at twilight, famous market are still, to us, a singular world set apart, somehow never quite belonging to us or our world at all.

Yet to one Hope student, these tilings are home.

Living at Doesburg Cottage (now La Maison Francaise) this year is Mariella Coultheir of Paris, France, who is at Hope after a year at the Sorbonne.

Mariella was born southern France, spent several years in Baden-Baden, Germany, and in 1951 returned to France to live with her parents and four bro-ther on Paris' west side, where her father is minister of L'Eglise de I'Annondation, a ' large French Reformed (Huguenot) church.

Her father's association with the Protestant church, the petite Fullbright scholar believes, was probably the reason she is at Hope, for she had never heard of the college before.

Here she will study English, American history and psycho-logy, the last because Mariella's nearly-definite ambition is to work with retarded children.

With all the charm belonging to a true Parisienne, she tells of meeting and speaking with former Eisenhower on her trip to the States, and proudly shows a picture of a smiling Ike shak-ing her hand.

The life of a French univer-sity student, as Mariella de-scribes it, is of course, very dif-ferent ifrom an American's. There is no actual campus at the Sorbonne, no extra-curricu-lar activities as such, and all students live at home or in pri-vate rooms.

However, since everyone lives in the same section, Le Quartier Latin (so called because classi-cal languages were originally the main things studied by Sor-bonne students), they meet af-ter school at restaurants or side-walk cafes to discuss various is-sues and ideas over coffee or a typical Yankee coke. Currently the conversation is likely to center around Algeria, Mariella reports.

As for actual dating life, "it is

not at all the same," Mariella said with a Gallic shrug, French young people don't "date" near-ly as early as Americans and in general French family life seems closer. But a French se-venteen or eighteen-year-old is considered by his parents to be an adult.

Education in France is de-scribed by the hazel-eyed ma-demoiselle as much more theo-retical and impersonal than its American counterpart. Since Sorbonne classes are so large— usually 200 to 500—there is lit-tle contact with the teacher, and oral recitation is extremely limi-ted. In the case of modern langu-ages, says Mariella, this system falls far short, as conversational practice is at a minimum. "It is 'orrible!" she exclaimed.

Travels to Germany, Canton de Vaud in Switzerland, the Low Countries, England, the Isle of Jersey, Scandinavia, and Spain (where she spent two years) have been an exciting part of Mariella's life. Her favorite country is Sweden; she likes th^ clean - swept wildness of the country, and the r e s e r v e d friendliness of Swedish people, "and they are not too curious," she said.

She has acted in plays by Mo-liere and Racine staged by stu-dent friends, and confesses she likes to read. Albert Camus is her (favorite; and although she often visits the Cafe Flores, the haunt of Existentialist writer-philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, Mariella dislikes his books for their gloomy pessimism.

Alors — Hope College bids Mariella "bien-venue," even though it may sound a little like "welkom."

time, but all for the last time." Lubbers, who will retire in Feb-ruary, also remarked that, "had I the chance to do it all over again, I would make the same mistakes and enjoy just as much trying to improve them."

Three members of the Hope College community, Dean Wil-liam VanderLugt, Dr. Bastian Kruithof, Professor of Bible, and Norman Kansfield, president of last year's student council, at-tended the Third Quadrenniel Convocation of Christian Col-leges held at St. Olafs College in Northfield, Minnesota last dune. - -

They each presented some of their thoughts regarding the convocation.

Worship Dr. VanderLugt saw in the

concept of "worship" a positive approach to the role and mean-ing of a Christian college.

A mature idea of worship, he felt, has been lacking in Chris-tian education.

"We have tended to raise the rational to the ultimate, and have failed to recognize that the mind alone cannot comprehend God. To recognize this is ture worship."

He believed that we must also

realize that in all" of life's ex-perience and learning, it is the religious question—our concept of God—which is essential and basic. Only religious belief can "make sense" of life.

Dr. Kruithof emphasized the role of the faculty. Faculty in-doctrination of students in un-avoidable, he said, and must be considered positively. "For if the trumpet give an uncertain voice, who shall prepare himself . . . ?" he concluded (referring to I Cor. 14: 8).

Kansfield expressed some dis-appointment in the apologetic atmosphere which he felt pre-vailed in much of the conference. He emphasized the need for posi-tive Christian attitudes on a campus such as ours.

The following positions are open on this year's Anchor staff: typist, reporter, sports writer, photographer or on the business staff. If interested, return ap-plication to Anchor office in Graves Hall.

365 Attend

Summer School 365 students attended the col-

lege summer school programs, according to Dr. E. E. Brand, director of summer sessions.

In the regular session 264 per-sons took one or more of the 27 course offerings. Twenty-four faculty members comprised the summer staff.

HOPE COLLEGE: A PIACE FOR REGULATING TENSIONS

Notes From The Underground

Preamble To Year: A Three Ring Circus by James Michmerhuizen

Amid the flurry of hysterical welcomes, both half- and whole-hearted. which traditionally overwhelm the incoming fresh-men every year about this time, it is not too much, I think, to hope that my own little pre-amble to four years of college will not go unnoticed.

You freshmen are spending, like the rest of us, three hun-dred seventy-five dollars a se-mester to be here, and you de-serve to know what sort of a circus you have joined.

I daresay it is the very finest collegiate circus in Dutchland. Three big rings, filled with di-verting spectacles: there is, for instance, the administration ring, where you will see tightrope walkers, jugglers, and clowns who walk into walls and sell brooms and pencils which nei-ther sweep nor write.

Here are some of the other colossal wonders, contrived es-pecially for your enjoyment, which you will see:

A chapel program devoted to proving that students have not forgotten their Sunday School lessons. The chapel pablum oc-casionally fails, and a student becomes or remains unaccount-ably Christian in spite of the system.

A paper flood of pamphlets, brochures, booklets, tracts, mag-

azine?, posters, and other forms of wastebasket material, each and all of which demonstrate beyond the shadow of a doubt that Hope College is heaven on earth, the original Garden of Eden, and the chief residence of Superman, Albert Schweitzer, Wonder Woman, Dwight Eisen-hower, Mandrake the Magician, and The Bobbsey Twins.

A collection of capering prigs whose only function is to make pairs of pronouncements, e.g. "There is no on Hope's campus" (for the public) and "There must be no more on Hope's campus" (for the students).

An inbred faculty, the product by and large of a sort of spirit-ual and intellectual incest with its immediate ancestors.

A comic book called the Hope College Bulletin, designed to mislead students, full of quaint and curious lore: lists of non-functioning committees and non-existent courses, misnomers, and syntactical horrors.

And of course that sideshow generally labelled "the student body"—oafs, nincompoops, bab-oons, petty dactators, pacifists, fanatics, monkeys, thieves, im-beciles, rakes, outcasts, apes, s p a s t i c s, poets, visionaries, would-be missionaries, toadies, Mammon-worshipers, minor e-vangelists, babies, queers, lap dogs, mystics, neurotics, nymphs.

s t a r r y - e y e d preseminarians, meddling and officious fools, asses, decadent aesthetics, elect-ed leaders of this or that, docile f o l l o w e r s of elected lead-ers of this or that, conformists (or nonconformists, depending on whether or not), fantastic and quite mad geniuses, opinionated and illiterate boobies, syco-phants, lackeys, and a hundred other varieties of that wretch homo sapiens.

Finally, the environment — a town with almost as many gas stations as churches, both forms of architecture equally nauseat-ing, a town so deafened by shouts of Lord, Lord, that it long ago lost its ability to hear the still small voice of God.

A comedy of organizations filled with people dedicated to preserving by mummification the last shreds of a society which they fondly imagine still to be Christian.

Organizations, institutions, and ritual performances of empty duties — catechisms, S un d a y Schools, societies for every im-aginable social stratum, a Cal-vinist Cadet Corps limping along like some modern sort of Child-ren's Crusade, mission clubs, panels, presidents, principalities, and powers.

Welcome, friends. Just one final word. Whether

you join in the fun or, as I do, watch, jrou cannot avoid becom-

ed. Our world is in perpetual flux tied together by steadily mounting international tensions and growing national rivalries. The East and West are more and more clearly and irrevocably set against each other by difference in ideology and purpose. How does today's pattern of under-graduate chaos differ from yes-terday's?

The first important difference between these circumstances and those of other decades is in the very direct influence upon a student in terms of how he plans his life. He is subject to the military selective service system which is so devised that the student seriously interested in pursuing his education to grad-uate goals lives in a perpetual state of uncertainty. Fluctu-ations in the degree of inter-national ill will cause corres-ponding fluctuations in his per-sonal plans.

The second significant differ-ence is the added sense of urg-ency to life caused by the flam-ing "cold war". This sense of urgency intensifies the desire for security, causes premature mar-riages, and increases the desire of youth to live for the moment. This is a direct challenge to traditional moral values, tradit-ional acceptance of religion and matters of the spirit in general.

The third major difference is the dominance of scientisim. Our age has linked scientific discov-ery with survival. It is of inter-est to note that deferments from military service are customary for the student of ability who majors in an area of science considered crucial to our present need, (whatever that may be). In contrast, the humanities and the liberal arts are increasingly unsynchronized with the times, and the student who still feels the strength and cogency of their attraction finds himself some-what anachronistic.

This then is the world of col-lege students today. They are mature men and women even as they stand on the threshold of higher education. We cannot talk about sweetness and light when there are in fact no such phenomena prevalent. We cannot talk about brotherhood and the goodness of man when our own

ing part of the spectacle; you and I as a matter of fact are already part of the spectacle, having become so in the simple act of being born.

Do not make the mistake of supposing that four years of col-lege will make you mature, broadly educated, and fit in every way for "the acceptance and performance of your duties in the world today"—to quote the comic book.

A college education at best is capable of no more than making an ignorant fool into a fact-stuffed idiot. No one is ever ready for life; an entire life is barely enough time in which to prepare for death. Your presence here at Hope College has nothing to do with the possibility of your becoming something more than a fact-stuffed idiot; what you be-come is your own affair and no-body else's.

Welcome. The show is about to start.

age has placidly pursued the line of least sacrifice and placed per-sonal comfort so high on its scale of values. How then is the undergraduate student to live in the world our hands have made?

First he should cultivate act-ively a sense of respect, respect for himself and corresponding respect for others. A respect for self will cause the student to give adequate time and oppor-tunity for reflection. He must not underestimate his role in the world or his ability to play it. As self-awareness grows keener, so should respect for others, for as he comes to know each man better, so will his sympathetic understanding grow.

Second, he should develop more fully an awareness of his heritage as an American and his good fortune in being the recip-ient of such a heritage.

Third, he should be acutely aware of the task he has of cre-ating within himself a keen sens-itivity to life in its many fasc-inating and exciting facets. If he concerns himself more and more with the search for what is true and good and beautiful, so does he build a bulwark against defeat, not only of the fleshly body, but of the mind and spirit.

Fourth, he should be ready to work, for the world should and will demand of the undergrad-uate a tremendous volume of work. College years, if they are truly to be fruitful according to the highest standard, will tax intellectually and physically as nothing else in previous exper-ience. The burdens will be heavy and constant, the demands will be unrelenting and merciless, the expectations will often seem to be maddeningly unrealistic; but here are being shaped the pat-terns of thought and action to last all the rest of one's life, and only the best will serve unless one stands ready to compromise integrity.

Finally, he should be willing to cling to the unreasonable. He must be strong in his resistance to patterns of mediocrity and conformity. If the undergraduate student will live thus the crises today can be, will be met. As he, like his forefathers, clings to the unreasonable, he will be at the same time responsible for a new infusion of intellectual and moral strength into American life. Nevertheless, he must have hope since there will always be exasperation.

S.C.A. Revitalized The Student Christian Assoc-

iation has been reorganized and plans to have regular bi-weekly meetings throughout the year. These meetings will speak to the entire campus, stressing the re-lation of Christianity to all areas of life.

But in addition to its regular meetings, the SCA plans some-thing dynamically new. One of the exciting developments in the Christian church ' today is the growth of "personal groups", small groups within the church which meet in order to "dig into" the essentials of the Christ-ian faith and to apply its deep truths to the entire range of man's knowledge and action. These college groups, of six or eight persons each, would meet perhaps once a week for an hour or so and discuss seriously a deligious book and have prayer together. It seems that in college stidents learn most from "bull sessions"; why not have bull sessions about that which con-cerns us most — the Christian faith?

But col-lege students, both neophites and experienced, have a different way of noticing the change: a preschool letter from the local medicare company which would relieve you of all worry and care.

Notice. School has started: the rush on fresh-men girls' cottages by senior men, the new found superiority of juniors and the glee of a sophomore harassing a freshman. Now time is your own, up to you whether you study or have a date, whether you get an education or just a degree.

For the campus leaders there are meetings for student counselors to learn how to counsel, and meetings for student leaders on such yearly topics as what to do about chapel attendance. Somehow the freshmen are initiated to the campus, usually by the sophomohes, and chapel attendance remains a sticky problem because students are more concerned about new found social and intellectual freedom than an obedience to a virtue, relation-ship to a higher Being.

For some this is the beginning or continuation of an enjoyable experience known as stretching the intellectual skills and immersing the self in social p i e t y . For others the experience will be like hav-ing the first cigarette; one smokes it out of curi-osity and social pressure but finds it not always to one's liking.

The opportunity is yours. If you succeed, you shall probably know a secret of college not found in the catalogue: wh^ many seniors enjoy return-i n g ' t o "the tulip-rimmed campus and will regret graduating come spring.

Anniversary & Changes Hope College is starting its second century. The last century has seen evolutionary change

at Hope College. For the first small freshman class, there was only Van Vleck Hall in the way of fa-cilities. There was not even a publication until 1887.

This last year, and particularly this past sum-mer, has seen new wrinkles added to the face of the old college: •

' - Besides the larger-than-ever freshman class of over 400 students, the faculty has grown with nine new members. A new director of - Kollen Hall has been hired to keep the youth treading the straight and narrow.

An even larger change is the appointment of a new President. Dr. Calvin Vander Werf, who brings the discipline of science to the top office, will have much to do and prove in replacing Dr. Lubbers and his wisdom.

New on Hope's multi-architectured campus are the men's and women's dorms which are on their way to being completed although not soon enough

to prevent freshmen women from inundating more cottages.

The last but not least new, and we hope ex-citing, contribution to the campus is the face-lifted anchor. This issue exemplifies the aspirations for this year. T h e staff, which is essentially the same as last year, hopes to catch the spirit sweep-ing the ranks of the college student of the '60s.

To help insure high spirit and good quality, the anchor pledges the following taken from June Saturday Review of Literature:

—A truthful, comprehensive and intelligent account of week's events in context to main-tain meaning.

—A forum for the exchange of comment and criticism.

—Projection of a representative picture of con-stituent groups on campus.

—Presentation and clarification of society's values and goals.

- F u l l access to the day's intelligence.

The Student Council asks you, to make the orientation com-plete by showing the new stu-dents Hope College in action through dinning hall and cam-pus conduct, willingness to be helpful, and friendly manner. We also want you to help us make Initiation Week a success and achieve its objective of bet-ter acquainting us with the new students, and they with them-selves, by encouraging the Frosh to wear their signs and - pots.

Rides and hazing of any sort are not a part of orientation and are taboo.

Football Squad Toils Hard For Better Season This Year

By Dave Bach j»i

When talking to various play-ers on this year's football team, the following topics are consist-ently heard: contact since the .first day of practice, night scrim-mages under the lights, injuries hampering players, gruelling schedule of games, and talented newcomers.

As Coach DeVette heads into his eighth season as Hope's head coach, he is faced with a pro-blem he has had only once Be-fore at Hope, that of trying to bounce back from a losing sea-son, Not since 1955 has DeVette had a losing season, and it looks as ii he has a good chance of coming back with a strong team in 1962. Coach DeVette said, "The bleak year is behind us. Football is on the up-swing here. Last season was'Si rebuild-ing one. We were working with green freshmen and sophomores. This is the year we start bounc-ing back."

Gordon Brewer and Kenneth " Weller will again assist DeVette. In his 7th season as line coach at Hope, Brewer is working with a nucleus of seasoned veterens and some proven newcomers. He is also Hope College's Athletic Director. Weller will be working with the ends again, in his eleventh year with the team. Weller also arranges the scout-

Ashland College "Inexperienced" For Opening Game Tomorrow

ing of Hope's opponents ' and serves as spotter during games.

Hope has been holding work-cuts twice a day since Sept. 1 in Preparation for their home open-er on Sept.- 15 against Ashland College, Ohio. Hope will play two other pre-season non-con-ference games against Valparai-so University and Wheaton Col-lege. Mid-way in the season Hope will travel to Charleston, Illinois, to take on the strong Eastern Illinois football squad.

In the Michigan Intercollegi-ate Athletic Association, Hope looks like one of the question-mark teams. Once again, Al-bian looks like a title winner with last year's surprise team, with Olivet and Kalamazoo not far behind. A note of optimism from Adrian training sessions indicates that the Bulldogs may be ready to make an improve-ment on last year's 1-4 league record. Alma, with Hope, will be struggling to capture a posi-tion of respect in the MIAA league.

Twenty lettermen are back this year, giving the Hope squad needed experience. Among the letterman are seven offensive regulars and two defensive aces.

One concern of the Hope team this year is the backfield. Hope has only one returning regular, captain Jim Bultman of Fre-mont, Michigan, for secondary work and has no offensive run-ner back from the 1961 unit.

Line Coach Brewer has a potentially powerful front line this year. At guards he is work-ing with lettermen Bill Byrne, from Holland and Kurt Van-Genderen of Denver, Colorado. Holland's John Stam and Jon Norton of Arizona are top-notch sophomore tackles. At ends Hope has Ken Quakkelaar from Grand Rapids and John Schoon from Gary, Indiana. -

A newcomer expected to bol-ster the strong front ranks is Jim Wiegerink from Media, Pennsylvania. Two transfer stu-dents are expected to add depth to the end spots, Joe Kusak who played at Rutgers University and Tom Cousineau who joined the Hope squad after a year at the University of Idaho.

By Dave Bach Hope College makes its 1962

football debut at Holland's Ri-/verview Park .against Ashland College of Ohio at 7:30 tomorrow night. This non-conference game will mark the first time these two squads have met in pre-season competition.

Ashland College is a liberal arts school with an enrollment this year of 1204. Athletically, the college belongs to the Mid-Ohio Conference. Last year, un-der the direction of head foot-ball coach Fred Martinelli, Ash-land College compiled a record of 3 wins and 6 losses.

4,We have a relatively green and inexperienced football team this year — but they have been coming along." These were the words of Fred Martinelli as he talked over the telephone last Tuesday night. "We have 13

lettermen which is not too many, so we've spent a lot of time this year working in small groups on fundamentals."

The Ashland College football team has been practicing for about 2% weeks, having started workouts on August 30. Offen-sively, the Ashland team has been working on its tight T-.formation. Martinelli said. "With our T-formation we run inside and outside belly plays. We us-ually like to run our fullback a lot. This year we have a fresh-man playing that spot."

Coach Martinelli is expecting top performances from his co-captains Mike Hanna and Dwane Brown who play the left end and quarterback positions res-pectively. • Martinelli indicated that Dwane Brown throws a lot from his quarterback position. Undoubtedly, . Brown will be

looking for his left end Mike Hanna on pass plays. Ashland also has a throwing half-back named Dave Sharp. Martinelli is depending on the leadership of linemen Dave Guartner and Gene Tanner to make the team "go."

In the telephone interview. Coach Martinelli mentioned that he is aware of Hope's passing potential and 2-on-l line block-ing at the hole. Furthermore, he said that he had heard a lot of fine things about Hope College football and therefore was look-ing forward to a .fine game to-morrow night.

The Ashland College team plans on leaving Ashland, Ohio, by airplane at 12:30 p.m. They will fly to Grand Rapids and ar-rive in Holland by bus around 2:30 Saturday afternoon.

COMPLETION — One of the many ends playing for the yellow squad receives a 30 yard pass in inter-squad scrimage this week.

Siedentop Calls for Cross Country Men Is anyone interested in lifting

Hope's blue and orange to even new and greater athletic heights?

This is the call sent forth by Hope College's cross-country coach, Daryl Siedentop, for any now men interested in bettering the fortunes of Hope's team. Anyone interested in running cross-country this year tis to contact coach Siedentop at Carnegie Gymnasium.

With co-captains Vern Sterk and Bruce Welmers leading a group of talented lettermen and promising newcomers. Coach Siedentop is expecting a banner performance from his runners this year.

Although Hope will be ser-iously hampered by the loss of its 1961 captain and MIAA champion Sherri Shaffer, Sie-dentop hopes that keen competi-tion among the returning letter-men will produce one or two topflight runners to take up the slack left by the graduated Shaf-fer.

The list of returning letter-men besides co-captains Sterk and Welmers includes Dirck de-

Velder, John Nyboer, A1 Osman, ing themselves for their first A1 Hoffman, and Mike Laugh- meet on September 29 against jin. Valparaiso. The meet wiU be

With this nucleus of lettermen run on Hope's new athletic field, on hand, the Dutch are prepar- the site of all home meets.
