School (Joy!)—Classes Begin (IMoan!) Guess it 's t ha t t ime again. Renewed f r i endsh ips , books,

i r regular sleep, spor ts — a full life. You worked in the

summer , you work now, but now you don ' t get paid. It 's

still g rea t to be back.

For new students , th i s is the Hope College newspaper , a

bi-weekly effort . It is wri t ten and edited by s tudents and

is a sh in ing example of the power of the press .

For the academic ve ts : Yah, it 's the Anchor again . So

what if we can ' t deceive you with these phony generali t ies.

The Longines Symphonet te , New York Radio Symphony Orchestra , under the direction of Mishel P ias t re will per form Fr iday , September 26th a t 8:15 P.M. in the Hope Memorial Chapel. Tickets for th is presentation, first of the Hope Col-lege Concert and Assembly Series, are 50c for s tudents and $1.50 fo r o thers . S tudent t ickets are available at the College Business office; full price t ickets may be purchased a t the business office or a t Meyer Music House.

The Longines Symphonet te

pe r fo rms primari ly for radio

audiences. T h e y b r o a d c a s t

regularly on S u n d a y a f t e r -

noon over the entire CBS net-

work and present occasional

concerts on NBC, ABC, and

Mutual. Since their premiere

broadcast in 1941, the playing

of B e e t h o v e n ' s M o o n l i g h t

Sonata and the famil iar open-

ing "The World's Most Hon-

ored Music as played by the

World's Most Dist inguished

Ensemble" has identified them

to music lovers. In a poll of

800 music c r i t i c s conducted

by the Magazine, Musical Am-erica, the Longines Symphon-et te was voted the finest or-ches t ra concert ensemble in radio, the fifth c o n s e c u t i v e year they received the "Top Award ."

The Symphonet te ' s appear-ance here is pa r t of a ten week

tour c o v e r i n g t h e U n i t e d States, Canada, and p a r t of Mexico. Though in existence fo r eleven years , th i s is only the th i rd tour for t he group. Concerts are usually limited to radio and a few per form-ances in Carnegie Hall, New York, a n d S y m p h o n y Hall, Boston.

The Longines specialty is the playing of shorter selections, or "movements," by the great-est composers, as well as many "lighter" pieces. They are of-ten referred to as "the aver-age man's symphony orches-tra." Their success and the excellence of their playing has been achieved by using musi-cians of virtuoso ability under Mishel Piastro, former Con-certmaster for Toscanini with the New York Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra.

not hav ing to look even in t h e direct ion of a book, much less

of w h a t they call contemplat ion. No bo ther wi th t h i s why

s tuf f , no ques t ioning. J u s t exis t . But don ' t ask why. T h a t ' s

g r ea t . B u t college is even nicer, even though i t ' s r oughe r to avoid

books. B u t t h a t ' s no t so bad. We can still ge t by, being as

complacent as we wan t to, and be s m a r t besides. Simple —

j u s t g o t t a go to class every day, t ake down e v e r y t h i n g the

prof says , swallow it the n igh t before, and r e g u r g i t a t e i t a t

college. Of course, some of these p r o f s work i t so we g o t t a

th ink . B u t we can avoid them, or t a k e the low m a r k s . Kind of a problem here, though , going to class every day.

prosaic occurrences as classes. Got ta be gay, casual . 12 cu ts

— such a typical collegian. Ah, t h a t ' s it — typical.

Yes, i t ' s g r e a t to get back to our own little separa ted so-

some dim and d i s t an t f o r m of exis tence where they 've go t t a

f o u r y e a r s — who knows why i t ' s f o u r — and we ' re auto-

mat ica l ly educated, which implies someth ing good, and j u s t

t h e word educat ion presupposes m a t u r i t y . So as long as

they keep t h i n k i n g t h a t out there , w h a t do we care. We

don ' t have to w o r r y about ge t t i ng some menial, d i r ty lit t le

job a f t e r h igh school and f igh t ing ou t way up to ge t some

money — ah, money — no, if we get t h r o u g h college we m u s t

Yes, college — t h a t ' s t h e place people go so t h a t when t h e y

get out t h e y can g e t jobs people who didn ' t can ' t . Because

they 've been educated, or someth ing like t h a t . And so in search of an education we continue — sigh —

to press f o r w a r d toward our goal . . .

A h yes ! I t really is! I t ' s g r e a t to be back!

" T h e Role of Co-Curr icular Act iv i t ies in a College Educa -

t i on" w a s t h e t h e m e of t h i s yea r ' s f a c u l t y pre-school con-

fe rence which took place Sep tember e leventh and t w e l f t h a t

P rospec t Point , Spr ing Lake . F o r t h e f i r s t t ime s t u d e n t s were

pe rmi t t ed to t ake p a r t in t h e discussions. The conference was buil t a round small discussion g r o u p s

which a t t acked t h e problem individually and repor ted to t h e

genera l session. Keyno t ing t h e en t i r e conference were t a lks

by Dr . Hollenbach, dean of t h e college, and Miss Ross, pro-

fessor of h is tory , on " W h a t Place Do Co-Curr icular Act ivi-

t ies Have in Meet ing t h e Objec t ives of a Chr i s t i an Libera l

A r t s College?" and "Prof i le of t h e Hope College S t u d e n t "

respectively. The l a t t e r was an i l lus t ra ted lec ture employ-

ing s ta t i s t ica l g r a p h s of how t h e Hope s t uden t spends his

t ime. Eleven s tudent leaders on Hope's

campus par t ic ipated in the two-day p rogram on this c o n t e m p o r a r y problem. Dur ing the summer , the Conference Committee, consist ing of Dr. Hollenbach and Mr. Vander -ham, s o c i o l o g y p r o f e s s o r , had ga the red very complete da t a on s tudent work programs, s tudy time, and ext ra-curr icular activit ies. As par t of this study, members of the

Conference is to examine some area of basic importance to the s t reng th-ening of the purpose of all h igher education, namely, bet ter t ra ined citizens for an increasingly com-plex civilization. Some conference sessions revolve around the rela-tions of the church and the college and how both might benefit f r om ini t ia t ing new procedures. Some-t imes there might be an in teres t in the par t t ra in ing in music or d ramat ics or languages plays in the liberally t rained Christ ian man or woman. We might turn our a t tent ion to adult education, or a g rade study of Hope College as compared with other colleges of comparable size and purpose. At another time a study might be made on the professional in teres ts S^d opportuni t ies of our s tudent body, or what motivations work best with s tudents in the class-room, in campus activities, in com-munity affairs . We might consider the p a r t played by the sororit ies and f r a t e rn i t i e s in campus life, how we migh t f u r t h e r encourage the

use of and the improvement of the l ibrary facil i t ies or any number of other impor tan t issues.

This year we are considering the par t ext ra-curr icular activities play in a college education. Knowing the c lass lectures and the text books offer the knowledge f o r a be t t e r life, and knowing the application of th is to everyday living* in the

church, in the home or on the job br ings the wisdom of a rich and complete life, the college has much concern tha t the proper mixing of the curr icular and ext ra-curr icular t akes place. To learn this is a lesson of life itself.

T h a t the answers arrived a t are rare ly permanent and tha t evalua-tion m u s t constant ly go on, is only proof t h a t th is church supported, C h r i s t i a n Inst i tut ion of h i g h e r educat ion is a dynamic and growing influence to be used by the com-muni ty and the s tudents in a pro-g ram of be t te rment .

In a lmost any college wi th an extens ive historical back-

ground , t h e r e ex is t s f o r each succeeding gene ra t ion of s tu -

den t s an undying nos ta lg ia f o r t h e "a lma m a t e r . " Hope Col-

lege apparen t ly possesses t h i s s ame a t t r ac t ion f o r all t hose

who a re or have been associa ted wi th her . The t h r o n g s of

people who a t t end t h e annua l Homecoming fes t iv i t i e s a re

evidence enough of t h i s f a c t . The re is a n o t h e r e lement pres-

en t on and around t h e Hope campus , a contagious e lement

of which presence new s t u d e n t s will readi ly become cognizant .

I t is a "spi r i t of f r i e n d s h i p " which prevai ls upon t h e Hope-

Holland a rea and encourages all to become a p a r t of i t . The

m a j o r i t y of schools f o r h ighe r educat ion can claim no such qua l i ty as being an in t r ins ic p a r t of t h e daily rout ine . F r o m

the momen t the en t i r e Hope populace mee t s in t h e Chapel

each morn ing fo r fel lowship, unt i l t h e day comes to a close,

t h e Holland res idents , Hope s tuden t s , f a cu l t y and admin i s t r a -

tion work toge the r a lmos t as a single en t i ty .

The "sp i r i t of f r i e n d s h i p " cha rac te r i s t i c of Hope is by

no m e a n s an accident, b u t t h e r e m a y be a f ew who canno t

discover a casual f ac to r . The basis f o r t h i s a t m o s p h e r e of

amiabi l i ty is very definitely a resu l t of t h e influence of t h e

Chr i s t i an Church and i t s p rox imi ty to the regula t ion of our

college. This a tmosphe re is one which doesn ' t r each t h e

he igh t s of publicity t h a t a footbal l r epu ta t ion or a m a s s p a n t y

raid do, bu t to anyone so jou rn ing f o r a s h o r t t i m e or j u s t

pass ing th rough , it leaves an impress ion irrevocable.

As t h e new school y e a r begins to progress , i t will profi t

bo th old and new s t u d e n t s to observe th is ex i s t ing " sp i r i t of

f r i e n d s h i p " which we find ourselves t ak ing f o r g r a n t e d . The

new s t u d e n t s will soon find t h a t Hope has t h a t e x t r a some-

t h i n g which enables t h e m to feel a t home ye t still be "ou t

in t h e wor ld" on the i r own. In only a s h o r t while, t h e y will

have adap ted themselves to t h e Hope way of life, a s thou-

sands of t he i r predecessors have done. The r e t u r n i n g s tu-

den t s will find themselves g r e e t i n g bo th old and new f r i e n d s

wi th t h e same a t t i t u d e of cordial i ty which has been a s t a t i c

cha rac te r i s t i c a t Hope f o r yea r s .

To feel out of place a t Hope is a lmos t an anomalous impos-

sibil i ty, f o r individuals f r o m every walk of life have strolled

a m o n g t h e pines which b e a u t i f y t h e campus. Tradi t ional ly ,

Most freshmen find it difficult to adjust their study habits for college. Senior Don Weirenga graciously consented to demonstrate the proper way. Years of experience convinced him the above method is best. Notice the total relaxation, even to the carelessly dangling feet, and the complete concen-tration. There is the secret: relax the body and let no outside interference take the mind off the subject. Seniors are avail-able for lessons from 8:00 A.M. until 5:00 P. M. Please walk softly.

A significant s tep f o r the g rowth and improvement of our college, this year ' s pre-school conference has contr ibuted many worthwhi le sugges t ions to the adminis t ra t ion and the Student Council. Steps in the direction of considering and act ing upon these sugges t ions will be taken dur ing the presen t school yea r

Some of t h e m o r e prevalent opinions o p e n l y e x p r e s s e d b y var ious facu l ty and s tudent confer-ees were t h a t the problem was not one of too many or too f ew co-curr icular activities but r a t h e r of proper guidance to assure reason-able par t ic ipat ion, t h a t f a c u l t y counselors lay more equal s t r e s s

on the co-curricular and the cur-r icular in their sess ions wi th the i r counselees, t h a t ex is t ing organ iza-tions, e s p e c i a l l y d e p a r t m e n t a l clubs, examine themselves in t he l ight of the i r purpose and methods wi th respect to the accepted ob-jectives of our college, t h a t m e r g e r where feasible a m o n g organiza-tions of s imilar na tu re be enacted, t h a t t h e f u n c t i o n of t h e co-curr icu lar should a lways be sup-plemental to and not a continuat ion of classroom work, and also opin-ions wi th regard to finances, con-» t inui ty of membership , func t ion of g roups and of sponsors and m a t t e r s of s tudent vs. facu l ty par t ic ipat ion, numerical equation in societies, and the l imitation of a s t u d e n t t o act ivi t ies inside his own field of in teres t .

I t was f e l t by a cer ta in small percen tage of the delegates t h a t the whole co-curricular p r o g r a m as it now s tands should be junked and a new beginning made. A facu l ty -raised resolution t h a t p rofessors be more dil igent in d e m a n d i n g a p p r o p r i a t e r e t u r n s f r o m the s tudent f o r his credit hours gained was me t with mixed fee l ings by the s tuden ts in a t tendance , and also by the facu l ty .

A committee of f a c u l t y a n d s tuden ts appointed by the dean of the colleg'e is faced wi th the t a sk of s tudy ing the fifteen resolut ions which were the concrete evidence of the five groups ' endeavors. A t subsequent meetings, the revised resolut ions will be submit ted f o r adoption or decline.

GRIDDERS PREPARE FOR OPENER Michigan Normal Is First Opponent

H e a t , s w e a t , a n d i n ju r ed

p layers marked the two week

pre-school pract ice as the 1952

Hope football s q u a d condi-

tioned f o r i t s n i n e g a m e

schedule. The induction of las t

yea r ' s backfield c o a c h , Nick

Yonker , into the A r m y has

le f t the en t i re coaching du t ies

to head coach A1 Vanderbush

and line coach Ken Weller.

A b o u t 4 5 p l a y e r s w e r e

p resen t f o r t h e opening ses-

sion on Sep tember 2. Four teen

l e t t e rmen repor ted , but over

half t h e squad had no pre-

vious c o l l e g i a t e experience.

The first two weeks presented

a full schedule. Two pract ices

a day, 9 : 3 0 - l l :30 in the morn-

ings a n d 2 :30-4 :30 in t h e

a f t e rnoons , and a skull session

a t 1 : 00 k e p t t h e g r i d d e r s

busy.

The first week was devoted

mainly to c o n d i t i o n i n g and

drills on f u n d a m e n t a l s wi th

contac t work res t r ic ted large-

ly to the l inemen. Offensive

work was t h e cen te r of a t t e n -

tion with f r e q u e n t d u m m y

sc r immages designed to give

t h e players t h e i r play ass ign-

m e n t s and a t t h e same t ime

coordinate t h e a t t ack .

Contact work was increased

t h e second week. Live block-

ing drills a n d s c r i m m a g e s

e v e r y d a y t o u g h e n e d t h e

players . A hea t wave, wi th

t e m p e r a t u r e s runn ing up to

the high 90's, t h a t lasted t h e

ent i re week made it necessary

to cancel one a f t e rnoon prac-

tice and to conduct two o t h e r s

with players dressed only in

gym clothes. The s teady hea t

coupled w i t h l i t t l e breeze

hampered t h e p r a c t i c e ses-

sions, a s players , b u r d e n e d

with h e a v y e q u i p m e n t and

warm pan t s and je rseys , t i red

f a s t . P r a c t i c e s w e r e some-

t imes l i s t l e s s a n d slipshod.

The w e a k e n e d c o n d i t i o n of

the players and the rough

sc r immages took the i r toll. At

t imes, a s m a n y a s t w e n t y

players were sidelined wi th

in jur ies , mos t ly minor.

The squad engaged in a full

scale sc r immage under game

condit ions las t Sa tu rday . The

team was divided into two

u n i t s , t h e R e d s a n d t h e

Whites , with t h e probable first

s t r i ng offensive lineup on t h e

Whi t e side. No th ing definite

can be learned about a t eam

f r o m an in t ra-squad game.

The coach is in a unique posi-

tion. If t h e offense clicks, he

worr ies abou t the de fense ; if

the defense s tops the offense,

he wonder w h a t ' s wrong wi th

the offense. The value of such

a sc r immage is chiefly t h a t it gives t h e p layers tough con-

tac t work and enables t h e m to

use, under game conditions,

w h a t they have been pract ic-ing. I t also gives the coaching

staff an oppor tun i ty to evalu-

a t e i n d i v i d u a l pe r fo rmances

and t o s e e if t h e g r idde r s

c a r r y out t h e proper ass ign-ments .

Terrific heat cut the scrim-mage short. Several players were forced out of the game with h e a d a c h e s and u p s e t stomachs; those able to con-tinue were near exhaustion at the end.
