Once again the Merry Chr is tmas season is ushered in with a minor snow flurry and European head-lines. On every corner pseudo-Santas with watchful eyes guard their ever-boiling pots. Even our laundry spor ts a sophisticated blue and silver wrapping! Now is the season when smar t juveniles watch with growing interest their parents belief in the Santa man. For a fo r tn igh t the lesser known Marx brothers mys t i fy us with an im-posing a r r ay of mechanized, lith-ographic toys and reap a very com-for table margin of profit there-f rom. While we Americans hang our holly we are ra ther disturbed by rumors tha t our regimented European neighbors are hanging crepes.

P E A C E ON EARTH . . . Not so many years ago, geologi-

cally speaking, a group of night-watching, n o n - A r y a n shepherds were mystified by a Heavenly Pres-ence heralding "Peace on ear th prood will to men." That was the first Merry Christmas. The Wise Men of the day expressed their gra t i tude for the Christmas Bless-ing via the g i f t medium. (And man has been a gif t -bear ing animal at this season ever since.)

As man progressed chronologi-cally f rom the Christmas birth he found it increasingly more difficult to abide by the portents of the first message. Af t e r all, was he not a sentient individual, fully capa-ble of caring for himself? Did he not possess the faculties of scien-tific procedure, philosophical mum-mery, and reflective thinking? Cer-tainly talk of peace has its place but it 's more manly to s tand on your own two feet! And in this modern age things of the spiri t should be relegated to a nice dark corner—we must be more progres-sive! And so we have fallaciously rationalized ourselves away from the t rue meaning of Christmas. That was the first Merry Xmas.

AN UNKNOWN QUANTITY " X " s tands for an unknown

quantity, so I have been told. Could that be a pr imary cause for our present troublous condition? For too many years we have lef t the Christ out of Christmas. And, try as we may, we're still not, nor ever will be, big enough to paddle our own canoe. We've been admir ing ourselves so long in the light of our highly polished civilization that we are now the victims of an acute s t igmat ism.

A CHRISTMAS PRESENT What a pleasant surprise for this

Christmas season would be a re-turn to a healthy conception of mind, mat ter , s tate, and spiri t . We must get our feet on the ground once again and reach the point where we may believe. All too long have we l)een duped by political bogey men, ill-cast religious dog-mas, and universal contempt for man's r ight to live. Can we not sit down sometime and have a nice long chat with ourselves and find out, f rankly speaking, just what the "score" is before we jump into life's muddling s t r e a m ? Maybe if we do tha t now, we won't be faced later on with a veritable army of "generation genera ted" " isms" and "schisms." We recognize the fact that we are young, and sa tura ted with the super-idealism of youth, but was not the first Chris tmas message an idealistic assumption? (I am not a candidate for sem-inary. Nor do I believe tha t one must possess monastical inclina-tions to associate the first Christ-mas and our subsequent misappli-cations of its t rue message with our present s t a tus quo.)

They say the best things are lef t unsaid, so jus t look back yourself and note the effects of our "Christ-less Chris tmases."

Merry Chris tmas! o

Messiah Popular In Eleventh Performance

Osborne Conducts Large Chorus

A large and appreciative audi-ence was present at the eleventh consecutive performance of Han-del's "Messiah" last night. Prof. Kenneth Osborne handled well the difficult task of directing the large chorus, composed of 175 voices f rom the Civic chorus and the Hope college chorus.

Miss Thelma Van Eisenhauser gave a splendid performance as soprano soloist. It was recently dis-closed that Miss Von Eisenhauer has become a member of the Chica-go Civic Opera Company. Equally commendable was the performance of Miss Beatrice Brody, contralto, f rom New York.

At the present time Miss Brody is the teacher of voice at Wesleyan University, Bloomington, Illinois.

Mr. Eugene Dressier, of Evans-ton, 111., sang the tenor solos with fine style and interpretat ion. The audience great ly enjoyed the Mr. Hardin Van Deursen, basso, and especially the air , "Why Do The Nat ions?" , which always seems to be extremely popular.

Mr. Eugene Dressier, who took the tenor par t , is also a pro-

fessor of voice at Northwestern University, while Mr. Van Deur-sen is affiliated with the Univer-sity of Michigan.

Mrs. Curtis Snow, organist , and Mr. Alvin Schutmaat , pianist , gave fine support to the chorus and soloists.

Hope Senior Delivers Math Treatise

At the fall meeting of the Michi-gan Section of the Mathematical Association of America, in Kala-mazoo, C o r n e l i u s Groenewoud, Hope college senior, delivered a 15-minute paper on "A Few Mathe-matical Recreations."

Professor Albert E. Lampen, newly-elected chairman of the as-sociation, introduced Mr. Groene-woud. In his paper, Groenewoud described a magic square he had worked out, and the Egypt ian sys-tem of unit fract ions. The paper was very well received.

The association meets only twice a year, at which meetings papers by faculty and student members of different colleges are given. The students are selected by their own professors. These undergradua te papers are then published semi-annually in booklet form.

the traditional pot. The color of rollers and pots is to be decided by the ent ire class. Result of the change will be a personal pride in wearing identifications of thei r own choice. The Anchor and the Student Council believe.

The council endorsement of The Anchor's suggestion was seen as a practical result of closer coopera-tion between the college paper and the student governing organizat ion. The aim of both groups is to de-velop a more unified and active student body through a correlation of Anchor and council functions.

Five hundred dollars in 12 min-utes was the record hung up by YM and YW cabinets in their an-nual mission drive held last Thurs-day morning dur ing an extended chapel period. Dr. Paul Harr ison, world-renowned m e d i c a l mis-sionary, was the guest speaker fo r the day. Money f rom the drive will go to buy X-ray equipment for Dr. Harr ison 's Muscat, Arabia hospital .

"The work in Arabia cannot be effective unless it is backed by prayer , " Dr. Harr ison said. "But prayers must be edged with genu-ine giving." In expressing his ap-preciation for the $579 g i f t , the noted missionary said tha t the little Christian church in Arabia would be told, first of all, about the unified willingness of the Hope stu-dents to help them.

Help the Scientist

Hope College flnchor

While we're home for vacation it would be a good idea if each of us would spend a few moments of our valuable leisure in preparing our communities for the local science building drive t ha t will come sometime between now and 1941.

As a suggestion, it would be a wise, noble thing to turn the trend of your conversation with dad, or with your fr iends at home, to the need of the college for a science building, and to the way in which we are a t tempt ing to get one. This will a t least allow him the opportunity to give intelligently when the opportunity comes. More formal preparation fo r the drive in the community would also help. Some of us will get a chance to speak in young peoples' meetings, and mention here of the drive and its purpose will boost collections when the time comes for your church to contribute.

Let's all help our alma mater with this boost tha t will cost us nothing, and yet help her immensely. Information tha t should be of interest to you who will give Hope this boost will be found in the box on page four.

Dr. Harrison Surprised By Students

by Ruth Strylcer

" I t really means something to

ne, fo r I don't suppose the stu-

lents gave t ha t money without a j inch," said Dr. Paul Harr ison, mis-l ionary and surgeon in Arabia ,

i f t e r the mission drive last Thurs-1 lay. His broad grin and high spir-

ts made his sent iment towards the successful drive very apparen t .

When questioned about his rea-sons for re turn ing to Arabia r a the r than accepting one of his many )pportunit ies here in America, Dr. Harrison replied, "We are out

there as missionaries. I t is t rue that there are more opportuni t ies 'or research work in America, and ^ur opportunit ies are limited there , because we have no laborator ies \nd no ass is tants to do record-

writ ing. But i t 's par t of the work of the Kingdom; and they need

even the limited work t ha t we can do over there, much more than the bet ter work we could do here, where there are many able men who can do it just as well." Then

"le added with a modest gr in , "Or if 1 want to be conceited, able men who could do it almost as well."

Dr. Harr ison 's most impor tant likes and dislikes are, as usual, foods. He told of the necessity of ea t ing fish instead of meat , and rice instead of potatoes in Arabia

—and he does like potatoes so much. But above all, he likes ice cream. He said, "We get barely any ice cream there, so I e a t all I can get here in America, at every oppor tuni ty ."

Showing a sincere fa i th in the Arabian, the missionary-surgeon

declared, "The Arabian race is a g rea t race and will develop grea t

individuals. Poverty acts as an an-chor to progress there, but we've developed great men before and we'll do it again ."

The Student Prints By Betty Van Putten arid Don Sager

O Yes, the Advertiser Most of us are approaching the age where we begin to

realize tha t life is not jus t all "take," but tha t there is a necessary amount of "give" as well. Strangers, acquaintances and friends are looking to each one of us personally for tha t finer sense of appreciation, tha t understanding of reciprocity, tha t element of returning good for good which is expressed in the words "give and take," and which formerly was cen-tered in our parents but which we must now assume in order to carry on successfully in tha t branch of our vocational efforts.

Specifically, I would like to urge all Anchor readers to Patronize Anchor Advertisers. These merchants make your Anchor possible. It is only the keeping of good faith, only the "give" of the "give and take" tha t you should patronize these merchants. These are the business houses that want your friendship and value that fr iendship highly. They t ry to carry stocks tha t are pleasing to you. Many of them run specials for you in their Anchor ads. Many of them cut prices particularly for college students. Everyone of them in some way or other has something to offer you tha t is j u s t a little bet ter than the non-advertisers.

Another mat te r of great importance at the present time is th i s : You will not have any, or at most, very much, time to do your Christmas shopping at home this year, f t ' s almost imperative tha t you buy your Christmas g i f t s in Holland. Even if you could buy the same thing in your home city, there is a certain deeper thrill when the package bears the name of a firm in a dis tant city. Why not give all your fr iends tha t experience by doing your Christmas shopping with the Hol-land merchants who advertise in the Anchor?

Finally, I give you this thought. The ads do not just fly into the Anchor office every two weeks, nor do they even come in by the more prosaic United States mail. A great deal of time and effort is spent in securing the Anchor ads, and in making a layout for them. So when you see an Anchor which seems to have a few more ads than you think it should have, remember that there are other issues when we do not have enough ads to pay for your paper. And so, forgive, and the next time you go out to purchase even the smallest item, check your Anchor to see if your purchase is advertised. When you pay for your purchase, smile in that sweet way that only Hope students and faculty have, and say, "I saw your ad in the Anchor," or, "This sale is due to your ad in the Anchor." In this way you will have^ carried put your part in this small phase of the "give and take" of life, and everyone will be the happier for it.

If he does take you out and you decide to have a fling at being silly, he tells you he longs fo r a brilliant

Santa, Old Boy — My Stocking

by Genne Nafe

Dear Santa:

I am a little girl twenty years old. I live with my mother and daddy. They said that I should write a letter to you and tell you what I want for Christmas. Gee, Santa if I could only tell you ex-actly what I want, do you think you could give it to me?

1 know I haven't been a very good girl but mother and daddy say it isn't what I've done before that counts—it's what I'm going to do after Christmas. And I told them like I'm telling you now that I am going to be the very best little girl in all Hope college.

And now, Santa, can I please tell you what I'd like for Christ-mas? If you can't get all of these things for me—I won't be mad, but

SYMPATHY

One of the two oldest alumni of Hope college. Rev. J. J. Gevhard. of the class of '78 passed away in Chicago recently. ..The student body extends its sympathies to the bereaved in the loss to his re-latives and friends.

I do hope I may have some of them.

First I'd like a Charlie McCarthy to sit upon my knee. I'd love him tenderly and I'm sure he'd love me, too. Then I'd like to have one of those cute little cars — the kind daddy has only I wouldn't like to have so many seats. Room for Charlie and me is enough. You'd better have a gasoline pump put in the garage 'cause that would be much more convenient. Then I'd like to have some doll's clothes— but you'd better get them about my size. Let me see — Some of

Immediately following the holi-day recess, several intramural de bates will be scheduled between teams from the men's and women's squads on this campus.

Well, Santa, I'll be waiting like the good little girl I'm going to be. 1 hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Your loving,

Daughter.

The students of Hope col-

Anchor Announces Joining All-College Peace Front

55 Midwest Colleges Have Joined New Peace Organization

The enlistment of The Anchor in the all-college Peace Front, organ-ization of college newspapers dedi-cated to the desire of staying out of the European war, was an-nounced last week by Anchor edi-tor, Robert Bonthius.

The Peace Front is sponsored by Editorial Editor Stan Frankel of the Daily Northwestern, North-western University paper. At pres-ent 55 midwest colleges are in the fast-growing g r o u p . 25 east-ern colleges have joined under Princeton University and, in the f a r west, UCLA's Donn Brown, son of Joe E. Brown, is organizing the universities. A letter from Mr. Frankel, last week, stated that he hoped to have every college in Michigan "lined up by the end of

1939."

Aim of the Peace F n n : papers will be to enforce and educate stu-dent opinion against participation in war. Most necessary approach at the moment is to encourage the growing optimism that wo can stay out of war. Also important is the chrystallizing of anti-war feeling by logical reasons for staying out.

The enthusiasm with which col-lege papers have welcomed the Peace Front 's invitation to join in concerted effort to guide reader opinion appears as evidence of the overwhelming p e a c e sentiment

PEACE ON EARTH.... 1939

i ^ f l

II

This original cut was made especially for The Anchor by staff member Grovene Dick. The moti-vating thought of the creation is the contemporary significance of the birth of Christ, as the star of Bethlehem stands over a modern city. Casting pro-

phetic rays towards the crosses of Calvary, the star 's message implies that peace on earth will come only when the modern age looks to the message of the cross for the solution of its many problems: for the basis of peace is love.

among college students today. Stu-dent newspapers are emphasizing that a government of the people, such as America, will not go into war unless the people voluntarily decide to go. The realization every student will go, if war is declared, is added reason for the college press' exercising of the inherent right of free speech in a united effort for peace.

| C h o o s e f rom o u r c o m p l e t e assor t -men t .

Christmas and a Single Candle When we were youngs te r s we sang a simple little Sunday

school song, " J e sus bids us shine wi th a clear, pu re light, like

a little candle bur ing in the n igh t . " No doubt you sang it, too. In th i s child 's h y m n it found a profoundly symbolic

challenge to us, as we come to Chr i s tmas , 1939: Amer ica

must keep t h e candle of peace al ight . Here, we still have peace; but how f a r we need to th row our

candle's beams into th i s " n a u g h t y world." We m u s t resolve

t h a t the world 's last big candle of peace will no t be ext in-

guished and leave the world in a blackout.

But keeping t h e candle of peace bu rn ing br igh t ly depends,

first of all, upon a growing conviction t h a t we can keep it so.

We m u s t cast off defeat i sm, and America is doing so, and

supplant it by an undaunted opt imism, based on t h e f ac t t h a t

America will not war until i ts cit izens voluntarily decide to

en ter . In an a tmosphere of such conviction, propaganda finds

thorny ground. But we m u s t build our emotional convictions upon rat ional

foundat ions . We need to in form public opinion of the issues

involved. Las t t ime we were duped by ideological talk. I t ought to be evident , now, t h a t th i s is no war f o r democracy.

It is f o r cer tain mater ia l is t ic ambit ions, fo r ce r ta in spheres

of influence. I t is a war b rough t about because of the Ver-

sailles Trea ty , and two decades of evil peace in which the

democracies r e fused to rec t i fy the T rea ty ' s wrong on a Ger-

many which repeatedly asked the i r help. There is no logical

reason for us to help the allies; the re a r e many logical reasons

why we should not .

But we cannot keep our own peace long unless we look to

more positive e f fo r t s t h a n the ones of keeping out of Europe ' s

bonfire. We have domestic problems here tha t t h r e a t e n to

snuf f out our candle of peace, unless they a re met quickly

and sa t i s fac tor i ly . The war of Europe is a result of a f u n d a -

mental ly ma lad jus ted economic s t ruc tu r e . We have t h a t in

America, too. Ten million unemployed, labor and capital a t

each o the r ' s t h roa t s , a public debt of s t agger ing proport ions,

and the subvers ive activit ies of Communis ts . These are few of

the winds t h a t blow agains t our peace candle. These problems demand all t he energet ic ingenui ty of th i s genera t ion f o r

the i r solution. The re is much work fo r us to do if we would

keep our candle burn ing br ight ly .

Chr i s tmas t ime, 1939. Each one of us knowing t h a t we can

keep the candle of peace burn ing in the American window.

Each one of us deeply conscious of our responsibil i ty to the

rest . Each one of us deeply aware t h a t only by doing th i s can

the world hope f o r a j u s t peace when it has exhaus ted itself.

Each one of us intell igently informed, convinced of the ineffi-cacy war me thods in Europe 's diff iculty. Each one of us re-

solving to eek t h e solution of our own count ry ' s pres-

sing problems, t h a t we may keep our candle burn ing b r igh t .

The goal of the drive is $250,000.

The campaign must finished by July., 1941.

Every Reformed c h u r c h will be contacted and given a chance to contribute during the drive.

Holland's goal alone is $50,000, of which a large per-centage has already been col-lected.

Van Raalte hall, as all of . us know, is a poor place to be on an afternoon when the labs are throwing off any fumes. The building is not constructed f o r scientific work.

Hope is rated high in the field of science, and every year places men in univer-sity fellowships, scholarships and assistantships out of all likely proportion.

There is a great need in t h i s day of materialistic science, to teach science in a Christian college under Christian perspective.

Hope Dutch Meet Central Dutch Here December 28 IN THE PRESSBOX

Little remains of the past foot-ball season but the various bowl games around the country. This correspondent likes Tennessee in the Rose Bowl. However, this goes only if Cafego is able to be there, and with cleats on. In line s t reng th too we favor the Southerners.

Mention should be made, too, of the awards showered about the ears of "Iron Man" Kinnick of Iowa. We probably have not run across all of them, but the two tha t are outstanding are his being named the grea tes t athlete of 1939 with Joe DiMaggio as runner-up, and his election to the captaincy of the '39 All-American team. His t i t le of "Iron Man" is just ly de-served for Kinnick played sixty minutes a game, week a f t e r week, against the toughest schedule any team has known for years.

At home the final round-up of

b y E d d i e D i b b l e —

awards follows: elected to the All-MIAA 2nd team were Honholt, Hud-son and Brannock. Captain Powers made the first team and is now eligible for the "most valuable player in the league" award to be given some time soon. Bill Tap-pan was given honorable mention. Captain-elect for next year is George "Yutz" Heneveld. Ken Hon-holt was honored as the man show-ing the best spirit through the season.

The basketball squad is looking better at each new appearance, and, with the exception of general un-rest caused by the itchiness of their new jerseys, seems to be suffering no grea t handicaps. The team will s tay in camp during the Xmas va-cation, playing Central College here, December 28, Western State there, Jan . 3, and Kazoo here, Jan . 9, the day we return from vacation.

The in ter - f ra tern i ty basketball

schedule is again in full swing.

With the coming of winter, comes

that keen rivalry which develops

into g r e a t competition between

well trained f ra te rn i ty squads.

Thus f a r two teams have played

games. The defending champions,

the Fra ternal Society, wrangled

with the freshmen and came out

on the short end of a 24-14 score.

The runner-up Cosmopolitan team

tried their luck with the aforemen-

tioned frosh but were also defeated. The score was 30-19.

The regular schedule began Mon-day, December 18 and all teams competed. Playing in the league again this year are the Knicker-bockers, The Emersonians, T h e Cosmopolitans, The Fraternals , and The Independents. All squads have been practising vigorously for a season of exciting basketball. The inter-fraterni ty league always has been an interesting one. For the past three years the championship has been decided by a single point. All teams have become stronger this year with the addition of some formidable frosh and with those prospects in view, the rivalry will be very keen before a champion team is unearthed.

Co-Captains for 1939-40

Leo Brannock and Ken Honholt, seniors, will be co-pilots fo r this

years cage team. Posed above in a pleasing manner, they are from

Years ever.

STAR SANDWICH SHOP "A sandwich immense for five and ten cents."

This year college court teams will play under revised basketball rules that are intended to reduce fouling and minimize the disad-vantages many claimed existed un-der last year 's regulations.

Here is the complete list of rule revisions announced for this year 's rule book: 1. The end line of the court shall

be four feet from the face of the backboard (this had been optional last season). The ex-ception to this rule is for courts where the physical limitations of the floor do not permit such an extension but a two-foot minimum is required. The ideal court is 94 feet in length from outside line to outside line with 86 feet f rom the face of one backboard to the face of the other.

2. A slight change has been made in the specifications of the ball relative to its resilency. (a) Af te r a free throw for a technical foul the ball is to be awarded to the team which was awarded the free throw, the ball to be put in bounds at midcourt. (b) When a personal foul is called the offended team has the option of t ry ing a f ree throw or of putt ing the ball in play from out - of - bounds. If t w o f r e e throws are awarded this rule ap-plies to the last f ree throw. It does not apply in the case of a double foul. For college teams, ten-minute quarters instead of twenty-min-ute halves is optional.

If a player in the act of throw-ing for goal is fouled from be-hind or roughly handled from any direction, two f ree throws shall be awarded whether the field goal is made or not. Any player on the team can call t ime out instead of just the captain of the team as in the past.

Hope Five Beats Ferris, Ypsi To Open Season

Ypsi Combination Good But Hopeman Better

F o r their second game of the season, the Hope court five met Michigan Normal, better known as Ypsilanti, on the Armory floor and in the course of events added an-other scalp to their belts by send-ing the Ypsi men down 36 to 23.

Their opener, played here Dec. 5, against Ferr is Insti tute, gave the Hopemen an easy victory, the final score reading Hope 47, Ferr is Insti tute 19. Highlights of the game were the antics of "Red" Bal-lantine who alternately told the captain of his team and referee " Je r ry" Breen of Holland High where to get off and the sudden appearance of what appeared to be one of the "Dead End" kids in a Ferr is uniform. There was nothing wrong with the lad, but he had a size forty-eight uniform on a thir ty-four f rame.

In contrast to this game, the Ypsi game was fast , tricky and hard faught . It plainly showed tha t there is good material in this year 's squad, and that they can play to-gether. There was a great deal of spirit in the play; the home boys knew they were up against a tough combination and didn't give an inch. Furthermore they scrapped for every inch they made. Brannock was on and made 18 points to be-come high-point man for the eve-ning. Honholt came next with 6 points. Honholt, Slikkers and Mont-gomery made trouble for their op-ponents from whistle to whistle with clever defensive play. A new-comer to the ranks who looked good was Gil Van Wieren, a sopho-more.

This game was regarded by many of the side-line coaches, and even by Coach Hinga himself, as the first one in which a comparative est imate of the team's s trength might be made, and the victory brought smiles to all.

Two Dutch Schools Meet In Holland For First Time

Central College Five

Out to Beat Hope

It will be Dutch aga ins t Dutch when Coach "Babe" Tysseling brings his Central College basket-ball squad f r o m Fella, Iowa, to meet the Hope hoopsters, here, on Thursday, December 28. These sis-ter schools will be batt l ing fo r a mythical title in the first meeting the history of the two institutions. The Flying Dutchmen also are tak-ing on Calvin on their t r ip to Mich-igan.

Rumors f rom the corn country have it that Central will present a fast-breaking but untested at tack against the Hinga basketball ma-chine. The Maroon and White have a veteran line-up with Loupee and Huisman at forwards, Menning and Van Arkel at the guard spots and "Lit t le" Ed Huibregtse a t the pivot post. Hope should have a sl ight edge on the visitors on the home couit. The Ypsi game brought to the f ron t the s t rong defensive play the Hope quintet is capable of when pressed. Coach "Bud" Hinga will probably stand pat with the same line-up that s tar ted agains t Ypsi— Lokers and Montgomery at the for-wards, Honholt and Slikkers at guard and lanky Lee Brannock a t the center.

The Hingamen wind up their pre-conference schedule when they jour-ney to Kalamazoo, J anua ry 3, to play Western State. The MIAA season officially opens fo r the Dutch Janua ry 5, when they meet the Arian Bulldogs at Adiian.

Scheduled to meet the Hopemen on the night of everyones return from vacation is our traditional enemy, Kalamazoo College. This is considered a great opportunity to take the s t ing out of beginning again.
