Editorials

American American? In the past few months, the United States, the leader of the

free world, has been accused of existing solely for the attainment of a chromium plated civilization. Its people are said to have gone soft — mentally, physically and spiritually.

Their "intellectual" leaders — who have read four condensed novels by Keroac and a major work from each historical epoch — hedge real world issues of communistic and nuclear threats by flinging their wordings of fairy-land-fiddlings across lulling bourgeois.

Rising to the defense of the U.S. are those who state that Americans have been misled and are presently searching for lead-ers who will inspire them with purpose and direction. They are searching for enlightened leaders who can apply the American American ideals to real world situations.

Today the majority of the world's underprivileged peoples are industriously searching for meaning, for purpose, for more en-lightened ways of living. In their search, they discover a coastful eastern world growing by ^Tiuge leaps forward" and find a West expounding interminably of "sweet nothings", saying less and less.

It is to be expected that in deciding which of these two world systems can best solve their problems, these peoples will naturally choose the system offering a something rather than a seeming nothing.

Thus it is imperative that Americans slough off any existing apathy and actively give evidence of their innate purpose.

Americans today are not being misled. Their apparent lack of purpose does not lie with good or indifferent leadership. Pur-pose is not a quality which can be ledled out. Leaders cannot give it — they can only help their people develop it.

Fortunately America does have purpose which can be drawn out. Years ago it was expressed in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Today Americans, holding these dynamic truths, are idly assuming, quite incorrectly, that the world knows and understands the essence of these t ruths and beliefs and how to apply them fruitfully.

Americans are not being misled; they are lazy because they are uninformed.

Fortunately however, Americans are stirring. Gradually realizing that the world is no longer convinced that Americans hold their beliefs of old, Eisenhower is making world tours, student exchanges are receiving increased attention, the Administration is urging lower tariffs. Throughout the government one can see scrambles of recognition of our problem.

Where does this leave you and me? It leaves us with the duty to support the President's trips and offers of friendship; it necessitates us to write to our Congressman, encouraging him to rise above petty politics. It leaves us to try to explain the Amer-ican way to the new migrant family — and to live it with them, to go to some IRC meetings, and to the community to firmly impress upon them the need of reaffirming faith in our basic American beliefs.

What worth is there in showing the peoples of the world that we still believe in freedom for man and in his dignity? Is it worth showing them that we still care? Remembering that nothing be-gets nothing, I say that we must do something before we find ourselves possessing merely — nothing!

—A. L.

V's Word

Concept Church Expands For Nine Students At Ecumenical Conference

The Imagemakers There are big things brewing. We must not be left out of the

stream of new thought about the world. We suppose we really should pay some attention to ourselves, but our relations with each other work well enough for the present. Not now. Perhaps later.

What do you think of me and what do I think of you? Granted, these are relevant questions to our college existence, but their importance lies somewhere between the two poles of Russia's action in the Pacific and the problem of scaring up a dime for another cup of coffee.

True, when we came here, this thing was important to us. We had to, absolutely had to, make a good impression you see, but, well, some of us did, and others didn't pan out too well. Nothing to worry about; just a matter of adjustment.

Now what has happened? A phrase here and there; a dropped word (unintentionally you may be sure); and even when the chance came to redeem ourselves, we lit another cigarette, or turned another page in silence and discouragement. No one, you know, cares.

Or do they? Well, maybe they do. Take that young woman there, for instance. She has the reputation of being somewhat anti-social. Alright. It doesn't really matter, you see, so long as we recognize that she is and that she also realizes this.

She may even like her role as an enigma. It lends a certain adventuresness to life if one can go about leaving the impression that one doesn't care one whit about other people.

Whether this is true or not doesn't matter. I t 's an assigned role, you see, assigned by us to her and taken over by her and assigned to herself. We both have long forgotten whether her anti-social reputation is true but, as I said, it doesn't matter any longer. We get along.

But suppose, that, deep insider her (or us) there is a feeling that there is a certain falsity about this. Suppose that neither she nor we like this to be so? But, we're busy.

We haven't got the time to sit down and say, "Look, we're only fooling ourselves. This is what I'm like^ now, what are you l ike?" And so follows a life of pose and counterpose; an assuming of characteristics that others say one should have, because your actions have hinted at the fact that you should have them.

From December 27, 1959 to January 2, 1960, a group of nine Hope students attended an Ecumenical Y o u t h Movement Conference on Christian World Mission in Athens, Ohio.

Quadrennielly held, the week long event was sponsored by the National Student Christian Fed-eration which is a part of the World Student Christian Fed-eration.

Thirty-six hundred student delegates from 78 countries rep-resenting all of the major Pro-testant denominations were in attendance.

The specific theme of the Conference was Study and Involvement on Strategic Frontiers. The delegates to the conference came away with an expanded and re-vitalized sense of what the church of Jesus Christ is doing in the world today. Foremost among the impres-

sions received was that Christ and the church is a t work in the world today.

Young men and women from all over the world are returning again to the life and work of Jesus Christ and to the Pente-cost where the church as the

Von Eyl Progressing In Leadership Research

Assisting Dr. DeHaan on his latest research project is Hope's new psychology professor, Mr. F. Phillip Van Eyl, whose time, at present, is divided between classes and this research work.

The problem deals w i t h , "What Is Leadership and How Is It Developed?", and is being carried out under the auspices of the Office of Education which has granted the money for two years of research.

The first stage of the re-search program is to identi-fy the leaders in the ele-mentary schools. After this these students are studied fur ther to see how they de-velop or change.

Is leadership so stable that once a leader always a leader; or does it depend on conditions of a situation or a group?

Phelps Hall (Cont'd from page 1)

The architect for the building is Ralph R. Calder of Detroit who also designed Durfee and Kollen Hall.

The Dormitory is scheduled for completion in early June. Representatives of the Miller Davis Co. builders report that the construction is moving on schedule.

The Executive Committee of the College Board of Trustees recently passed the motion to name the new Junior and Senior girls Dormitory Phelps Hall in honor of Dr. Philip Phelps and his daughter Frances Phelps Otte.

In 1859 Doctor Phelps came to Holland from Albany, New York and was appointed to be-come principal of the Holland Academy, the forerunner of Hope College.

In 1866 he was inaugurated as the first president of the newly incorporated college and witnessed the first Hope College graduation of eight young men.

Frances Phelps Otte, daughter of Dr. Phelps was bom in Van Vleck Hall on the campus Sep-tember 26, 1860. She graduated from Hope in 1882; one of the first two women to do so.

Dr. Lubbers said: "Phelps Hall will be a fitting tribute and memorial to two persons who were so devoted and fai thful to Hope College."

The final aim is to de-velop some set of functional relationships or theories on the question.

Mr. VanEyl graduated from Hope in 1955. He is originally from the Netherlands.

He spent two years at an university there and then be-lieving the United States held more of a fu ture for him, Mr. VanEyl came to America.

The Korean war broke out soon af ter his arrival and Mr. VanEyl became a member of the U.S. Army for two years.

After his discharge, he came to Hope where he majored in psychology. He married another Hope

graduate and went on to grad-uate school in Claremont, Cali-fornia. During his four years there, a daughter, Evelyn, was bom.

In the last year he re-ceived an offer ..to come back to Hope and teach. He is now instructing three classes in the psychology department. When asked to comment on

the American school system Mr. VanEyl said, "Its main weak-ness is secondary education.

More emphasis should be placed on the academic sub-jects. The schools tend to cater to the low I.Q. In Europe they have a school

for the average student and a school for the better than ave-rage student."

Conceming Hope, Mr. VanEyl declared, "You don't realize how good Hope is until you have been away from it."

visible body of Christ was first formed.

The spirit of unity and oneness in which all dele-gates confronted the "fron-tiers" in today's world was remarkable and eye-open-ing. It was a Pentecostal experi-

ence.

The thirty-six hundred stu-dents, over one thousand from countries other than the United States, experienced what it was to be "one in Christ."

This was no fanatic group of wine bibbers coming for a good time of " fun and fellowship"; this was not simply the members of some h i g h social-welfare agency meeting to p l a n better ways of improving family-community relation-ships.

Nor was this a Bible-thrumping evangelistic cru-sade getting folks worked up over a cause that soon dwindles.

This was a dynamic and dedicated group of young people convinced of the presence of God in the Person of Jesus Christ and trying to find the best ways in which to proclaim him as both Savior and Lord. Delegates came away con-

vinced that no one denomination is equipped to do the job alone. Af ter 400 years of fragmenta-tion from the world it has be-come imperative that with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit we find the basis for visible unity.

This w a s t h e predominant spirit underlying the conference. As we returned to the campus we were faced with the ques-tion: how can we bring back what we experienced?

What can be done to extend the vision of the college com-munity and our own denomina-tion?

The time for awareness of and involvement in contemporary issues is here. Wherever we are and whatever we do, we are called upon to be witnesses of Jesus Christ, living lives of integrity in devotion to him.

The time for worn-out slo-gans, smug provincialisms, dis-interestedness and indifference has long passed.

In the words of Isaiah we have both the mandate and the promise. "For ye shall go out with joy,

And be led for th in peace."

As I See If i

Recognize Red China For Interest of State

by Ron Chandler It seems to have recently become fashionable for "informed"

students to jump on the recognition-for-Red China bandwagon, often, I'm afraid, with the sole motivation of not wanting to be left out of the mainstream of avant-grade thinking.

Many of the arguments that I have heard come out of student and even adult discussions seem to be in the same old "black-and-white" tradition so common to the American approach to questions of highly complex issues of national policy.

At one time, we heard that China couldn't be dealt with because she's "immoral and barbaric," and, worst of all, she's not Christian!

While we still hear plenty of this sort of reasoning, we are now beginning to hear from many students and self-styled liberals that recogni-

tion by the United States of Communist China is somehow going to solve all of our problems in the Far East and win for us the undying devotion of the Chinese people, including Mao Tse-tung himself.

• » *

I am not exaggerating. I have heard a great many expressions of student opinion to this effect in the past year or so. Perhaps one should not complain — at least it's encouraging in a sense to know that there are students who are interested enough in foreign affairs to kick around some of the old tried and proven platitudes.

Let us not delude ourselves about the possible consequences of eventual recognition by the U.S. of the Chinese Communist regime. Probably the most valuable immediate result of such a course of action would be the fact that we would gain valuable listening posts inside Red China as a result of being able to establish diplomatic missions in that country. This in itself, how-ever, would be sufficient justification for recognition.

» • •

As for our using recognition as a means of wooing China away from the Soviet Union, there is probably as much validity in such a hope as there was to the now discredited notion that by withholding recognition we would bring such great pressure to bear on Chinese "public opinion" that the Red regime would collapse of its own weight.

True, there are growing frictions between Moscow and Peiping, but for a long time to come, Mao's plans for building a modem totalitarian state in China are going to be dependent upon the good will and material aid of the Soviet Union.

Even if there were to be . a split between the two great Com-munist states, as there will undoubtedly one day be, we are going to be very disappointed if we expect China to look to us for friend-ship in the foreseeable future.

There is about as much likelihood of China becoming friendly toward the United States as there is of our country becoming a Mohammedan theocracy.

» » •

There also seems to be growing support for the idea that we ought to abandon that bloody old Methodist war lord, Chiang Kai-shek.

Of course, it is absurd to think that by supporting Chiang we are thereby supporting freedom in Southeast Asia. Chiang has been as ruthless and as cunning as any dictator in history.

But even Chiang looks rather politically anemic compared to Mao Tse-tung. For considerations of strategy, we seem to have little choice but to back up any regime on Formosa which will be friendly toward the United States.

Of course, this will create problems, as Communist China has stated that she will have nothing to do with any nation that main-tains diplomatic ties with the Nationalists on Fromosa.

But the situation should not prove hopeless — it would seem that astute diplomacy could eliminate this obstacle when we decide we are ready to recognize the mainland regime.

» • •

I don't see any question of morals in the debate over recogni-tion. The cold, hard fact remains that policy must, by its very nature, serve the best interests of the state.

If we could ignore six hundred million people and get away with it, such a policy might well be advisable. But, as we have found out. Red China will not be ignored!

Therefore, the best alternative open to us seems to be recogni-tion which will enable us to get a better idea of what's going on behind the "bamboo curtain."

This won't be a panacea for our problems with China, but it will better equip us to meet those problems.

Introducing Housemothers

Voorhees Housemom Mothers Dorm With Remarkable Sense of Humor

by Judy Thomas

"The life of a housemother is ^very-4nterestHi^'„ so says Mrs. Mary Tellmap^ who occupies su(Jh—supposition at Voorhees

[all.

One of her most amusing ex-periences occured when she was in one of the rooms at 1:15 a.m. delivering a telephone message.

The room was in total black-ness because the "lights out" curfew had rung.

Suddenly three girls burst in-to the room. "Mrs. Tollman is coming, they whispered.

One girl hid in the closet, one under the bed and the other in bed. Finally the c o u n s e l o r came to reprimand the girls for

the noise they were making, and tumed the light on.

The shock was complete as they saw Mrs. Tollman in the room laughing at the whole situation.

• » •

This remarkable sense of humor has made Mrs. Tollman an understanding "mother" to many girls for nine months of the year.

Chartered Plane (Cont'd from page 1)

the presents they had received for Christmas, the "darling" boy they had gone out with or gossiping about who had just gotten pinned or was going steady.

When the announcement first was made that the plane would be delayed slightly no one minded too much. This, how-ever, was not the only time they were to make such an announce-men t By 3 p.m. everyone was completely disgusted and tired of the long delay.

At 7 p.m. the plane arrived a f te r a "slight" delay of ap-

proximately 8 hours. Discon-tented and rumbling the stu-dents boarded the plane.

After a slight mishap every-one was in his seat ready for the takeoff. A box supper, pro-vided by the airlines was eaten and then almost everyone fell asleep.

The plane arrived in cold and snowy Grand Rapids at mid-night and boarded the two buses to take us to school. At 1:15 Tuesday moming students final-ly arrived at Hope exhausted and dead set against taking an-other unscheduled plane ride in the near future.

or Party-girl, we've been called that: now we must live up to the designation.

It would be rather novel if we could only approach each other with new points of view and in so doing try to determine what we really are like, but as I said before, we're busy.

to being a housemother. I t is a good environment in which to bring up your children. It is also stimulating to be around young people.

The caliber of the students and the administration at Hope provides an excellent and ex-citing atmosphere. L a s t i n g friendships made with some of the students are an added ad-vantage.

This charming housemother also admitted that there were a few disadvantages. She has to be on the job around the clock, seven days a week.

Sometimes Mrs. Tollman must stay up quite late.

Also, a housemother's suite may lack a certain amount of privacy. However, Mrs. Tollman quickly said that the advantages greatly outweigh the disadvan-tages.

• • »

Mrs. Tollman has also lived a good portion of her life out-side the "domitory routine". She was bom in Ohio and attended Oberlin College for two years and received a teaching degree.

She came to Holland for a few years and served as a kindergarten teacher. .Her hus-band was a Hope graduate, and a f te r he die World War II, she still maintained contact with Hope.

Therefore, when she w a s offered the position of house-mother in 1950 she accepted.

• • »

Mrs. Tellman has a daughter, Sally, who is attending Wooster College as a sophomore. Her other daughter, Joan, went to Central College for one year and Hope for another. She is now married and living in Ann Arbor.

"For the first time Voorhees now houses all four classes of girls". Mrs. Tellman stated, "It works out quite well because the upper classmen provide a good balance for the underclass-men." (

In conclusion, Mrs. Tellman said that each day as a house-mother is a challenge which makes her job a worthwhile ex-perience.

"V" greatest thrill came Jan. 2nd when he sank the winning two points against Wheaton with two seconds to go. This year Warren is accom-

panied on the court by his brother Jim and enjoys playing on the same team with him.

When asked about the future of the 59-60 Hope Cagers "V" replied, "This team has more spirit than any other I've played on and is in a good position to take the MIAA crown and possibly defend our Great Lakes Regional Crown". Warren is a history major

and plans to teach American History on the college or junior college level. In line with this goal he plans to do graduate work in American history next year.

After losing to the Marauder's of Central State of Ohio on December 18, 1959, the Hope College Dutchmen came back on January 2, 1960 to score a thrilling 87-85 victory over the Crusader's of Wheaton College.

Wheaton, according to N.A.I.A. ratings is ranked third in the country.

Playing before 2,600 fans Warren VanderHill scored the big-gest backet of all. With 13 seconds remaining, the Flying Dutch-men set up a pass play, fed the ball to VanderHill and the Big "V" whirled and swished one through the hoop before the stunned Crusader's realized what was happening.

Final score Hope 87 Wheaton 85. VanderHill hit for 27 points and Mel Peterson had 24 for the Crusaders.
