" Y " News Seniors Prejent Views With Marie Jenkins as chairman,

the senior girls held torch in last week's YW meeting,ywith six of their number presenting their views on what four years of college should do for the co-ed

Development of a well-rounded personality, of adult attitudes such as tolerance, of a broadened outlook on life and of a stronger faith were stressed. Also emphasized were the preparation for leader-ship, for service to God and man, and for continuation of the learn-ing process throughout life. T h e value of cultivation of the philoso-phic habit, making the ideas of great men our own lasting posses-sions, was also brought out.

Mary Elizabeth Aldrich, Connie Crawford, Irene Lundie, Happy Maatman, Barbara Tazalaar, and Helen Wilhelm were the speakers. Marie Jenkins led the devotions, and Ruth Ann Poppen sang, ac-companied by Frieda Grote.

Rev. Benes Speaks at YM Rev. John Benes, pastor of the

Beech wood Reformed church, spoke at last week's YM meeting on the philosophy of the three travelers in the story of the good Samaritan, pointing out the Christian's obliga-tion to acquire the philosophy of the good Samaritan.

After a song service led by Tim-othy Harrison, Harold Des Autels took c h a r g e of devotions. Bill Brandli sang "Repent Ye" by John P. Scott. He was accompanied by Betty Van Lente.

Because of exam week, the Y's held a short joint hymn-sing last night in place of their regular meetings. Bill Brandli was song leader.

Wichers Wedding A t

Chapel Ceremony On Friday, January 6, at 4:30,

Hope Chapel was the scene of a very beautiful wedding when Dor-othy Wichers became Mrs. George Claver. The chancel was banked with ferns, palms, calla lilies, and candlelabra. The bride was attired in a gown of white satin, a finger tip veil and carried a bouquet of white roses. She was given away by her father. Dr. Wynand Wich-ers. The dresses of the attendants carried out a white theme. Murray Snow acted as best man. L i t t l e Beth Wichers was the petite flower girl and the soloist was Mrs. George Lumsem.

The bride's attendants were Max-ine Den Herder, Alice Jean Hoe-beke, Ellen Jane Kooiker, and Mrs. Bill Wichers. Ushers were Bruce Mikula, Harland Steele, Willard Wichers, and Bill Wichers. •

The reception was held in the Chapel basement.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Claver were graduates of Hope in June, 1944. While on the campus they were very prominent in Hope's activi-ties. Among Dorothy's many ac-tivities were Alcor president and Sorosis. Bud was Blue Key presi-dent, a Fraternal man, and one of the Senior men in Tri-Alpha.

Mrs. B. Van Leuwen To Teach New Course

A new course in dramatic pro-duction taught by Mrs. Bruce Van Leuwen will be offered during the second semester on Tuesdays from 2:00-3:00 and on Thursday, 2:00-4:00. The course is being offered mainly for those students who will find it necessary to direct plays in their teaching engagements.

The course will be primarily a survey of play production, giving an overall picture of how one should go about coaching a play. It will give the background work for various phases of dramatics. The course is open to juniors and seniors.

P & M to Sell Tickets For Big Production

"Getting Pinned," Pallette and Masque's big yearly project, will be presented to the student body of Hope some time in February in the reading room of Grave's Library. Tickets will be on sale in the near future.

Mrs. Bruce Van Leuwen, who is directing "Getting Pinned," is a graduate of Hope and received her Master's degree in Play Production from Cornell University, Ithaca, New York.

Crashes Take Lives Of Two Hope Pilots

The holiday season brought trag-

edy into the homes of two more

Hope men who lost their lives in

the service of their country, Lt.

William Faasen and Lt. Joseph Whitworth.

Lt. "Bill" Faasen was killed in

a plane crash over Belgium on De-

cember 28. Bill was from Holland

and spent only one semester on

the campus in 1941 after which he

went to Montana to work. While

on the campus he was a member

of Emmersonian fraternity.

Lt. "Joe" Whitwcrth, a ferry command pilot, was killed on Christmas Day in a plane crash over Indianapolis, Indiana, while en route to visit his wife in Ten-nessee. His home was in Flushing, New York, and he was also a mem-ber of Emersonian fraternity dur-ing his three years on the campus.

Absence of E. P. McLean Causes Course Transfer

Having been given a leave of absence. Prof. E. P. McLean's for-mer classes will be taught by others during the second semester. Psy-chology will be taught by Prof. Garrett Vanderborgh and advanced sociology by Prof. Paul E. Hin-kamp.

Mrs. Mayo Hadden, Sr., the lo-cal director of the Federal Aid Bureau, will teach sociology 403 on Tuesdays and Thursdays the fifth period. This is a course of-fered only to those students major-ing in sociology. Prof. Clarence Kleis will be in charge of buying food for the dormitory.

French Club Considers

France and Her Politics Ruth Joldersma was in charge

of the meeting of the French Club held January 18 in the D o r i a n Room. The club members opened the meeting by singing "La Mar-seillaise," the French National Hymn. Rosanna Atkins then read an article from the Atlantic Month-ly on "Liberation Day in France," describing in particular the activi-ties in Paris. The article showed how much confusion and indecision during the first few hours of the Allied Entrance into the city, but the author stressed that the French quickly regained their spirit and attempted immediately to restore Paris to a vestige of her former self. A lively discussion followed the next paper on "French Poli-tics," given by Ruth Joldersma, emphasizing the role of France in international politics, stating that France was being swayed by many different influencing factors. Rus-sia is making a definite bid for support and is thus spreading com-munism which, due to French po-litical background, will develop into a type of socialism. It was also suggested that France was being too dependent upon the Allies for support in her reconstruction. In closing, Jan Bogart led the group in singing French songs.

Keep Your Red Cress

AtHisSide; War Fund From all sectors of the front and

from every branch of the armed services come reports of unstinted praise of the work of the American Red Cross. Blood plasma is one of the great life-savers of this war. The Red Cross collects it. An al-most endless number of bandages is needed. The Red Cross makes them. Red Cross nurses care for the sick and the wounded. R e d Cross furnishes our men with food and drink where and when they need it most. Red Cross food, med-icine and comfort packages have kept American prisoners-of-war alive. Red Cross renders home serv-ice for the seniceman's family.

For all these purposes the ap-peal comes again this year for $200,000,000.00 for the work of the Red Cross. The quotas are the same as last year. Holland must raise $15,000 for this cause. Hope College students can help and we hope they will. Some of our fel-low-students have made the su-preme sacrifice, some are missing, some are prisoners, some are wounded, many are fighting and many more are in training. We must not and dare not let them down.

Last year the students of Hope College raised $362.54 for the Red Cross. Of course then we had the ASTP to help with a basketball game and a show, which two sources brought in over two-thirds of the money. But the Musical Arts Club and other organizations helped, too. Perhaps the student body can invent some source of in-come for this good cause. The Mu-sical Arts Club has started the ball a-rolling again this year with a gift of $34.00. The Red Cross campaign takes place in March. But we should plan for it now. Remember your fellow-students at the front. This is a war-time ap-peal; a summons to extra effort.

Yours for the American Red Cross.

PAUL E. KINKAMP, Chairman Red C r o s s War Fund, South Half of Ottawa County.

W. A. L ; Student Council

Plan Full Social Calendar Saturday Night Party Will Be Final Event

Ellison Acting As Chairman of D. T. Week February 12 through 17 will find Hope co-eds busy hunting

up dates for the activities of Dutch Treat Week. This social week is annually planned by Student Council, and this year especially the girls will have to make their dates early and make definite plans for their activities.

W.A.L. is working with the Student Council in this all-important week on the Hope co-ed's calendar of social doings,

and will organize a Coketail party Friday afternoon, February 16, which will be held in the gymna-sium. Student Council has planned a big party for Saturday night, February 17. This party will also be held in the gymnasium — dress will be very informal, skirts and sweaters for the girls, slacks and sport shirts for the "victims." Folk games and refreshments will be the order of the night. Tickets will be sold by Student Council members.

Student Council Social Chairman Ruth Ellison will be General Chair-man of D. T. Week — with Pat Haskin taking charge of publicity, Joyce Van Oss as Party Chairman, and Mary Liz Aldrich in charge of other activities to take place dur-ing the entire week. There will be plenty of smaller group activities during the week to furnish fun and

entertainment for all Hope girls and their dates — bowling, skating, coke dates, theater parties. So, to all Hope femmes — plan your "line of attack," get your dates for D. T. Week, and make ready for a week of fun starting February 12.

Mary Eliz. Aldrich A gracious manner and buoyant

personality have helped Mary Liz Aldrich to become one of the lead-ing Seniors on the Campus,

Her keen, alert mind has made her presence a boon to many a prof's class and has earned her membership on Alcor and in Who's Who in College Life. Mary Liz is majoring in Latin and expects to teach it. (The classicist of Hope College.) .

Her versatility of thought and open mind has helped her in plan-ning many of the social activities. She is president of Women's Ac-tivities League and has tried to replace the lack of men with a so-cial program geared to "w o m e n

only." (The only man not on re-

placement list is fiance Gabby —

and who can blame her?)

Her oratorical ability is evidenced

in the many debates in which she

has participated. This year she is

president of Phi Kappa Delts, hon-

orary debate society.

Among the many activities in

which Mary Liz has participated

this year are Glee Club and Chapel

Choir, English Majors, and Stu-

dent Council vice-president.

At the last May Day, Mary Liz

was crowned Queen of the Campus,

instituting the Reign of Queen Mary.

At the close of a grueling day, balm to \vounded spirits is a short

minute spent in her inner sanctum benefiting from the friendly banter and repartee she wields — Hail the Queen!

Campus Hails Dutch Treat Week Are you a little on the lonely

side? Are you tired of walking alone? Well, latch on to the affir-mative cuz Dutch Treat Week is just around the corner — yeah, man.

For all you new co-eds who have heard nothing but talk of such things from upperclassmen, pullupa chair and we'll give you all the ins and outs of this Sadie Howldns deal.

During the week of February 12, it's gonna be perfect'y all rite for you to approaek your favorite gate and ask him to a m jrie or to Club Modele for a coke.— bo aare you specify ao ho wont order a buffalo nut sundae. The fellaa are just as much in taror of it ainec the girl pays her own way. Sometimes she payi the whole bilL That's good g ra f t if you cam work i t

We're H to help you lall fallowing Soror-

i ity parties. Keep the date in mind,

fair ladies, and begin making out

your schedule now. Competition

will be keen, you know. You have to cram the abandonment of a year's inhibitions in seven short days — so make it good.

Begin with a bang by going down for breakfast second hour Monday with that cute, shy guy that sits behind you in German. Meet the joe you sit next to in chapel af ter Y Tuesday eve and go down for a coke. To the matinee Wednesday afternoon (it's less expensive, and isn't a night out) with the fellow you have so much fun with in lab. Stagger a few more coke dates between classes Thursday morning, and Thursday a f t take the football hero (now the forgotten man) bowling. Student Coundl's working determinedly to get reduced rates for Dutch Treat bowlers a t least one day, and maybe more, BO be

sure to pick up a bowler at least once! The week-end is a glorious finale

— but that's up to you. Soo—plan your strategy. It's a great life and here's your golden opportunity. And one thing more — you gotta ac-cen-tuate the positiv'!

English Club Discuss

Radio Literary Value "The Literary Values of Radio"

was the subject of the English Ma-jors meeting which was held at the home of Arlyne Voorhorst on Jan-uary 18.

After a brief business meeting, Arlyne introduced Peggy Bakelaar, who read a paper on the "Values of Radio in Modem Education." She mentioned the various ways the radio is actually being used in

Dr. N. V. Peale Presen+s Religion As Medicine to War Torn World

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, chapel speaker Tuesday morning, present-ed a rather new and unusual phase of the Christian ministry.

When Dr. Peale accepted his present charge, the Marble Collegi-ate Church in New York City, it was during the depression. Being the financial center of the nation. New York naturally felt the busi-ness slump severely. One direct result of this Dr. Peale felt was the need of Christian psychiatry applied to those who felt they had lost "everything."

Dr. Peale argues that religion is a medicine to be used in healing fear and anxiety and to give one security — not in his own ability — but in God's gracious mercy and love.

It was about ten years ago when Dr. Peale began trying to discover what split the personalities of some of his worshippers, what made them despondent and indifferent, without f u r t h e r ambition. He searched for a Christian psychia-trist — at that period psychiatry considered any relationship it had to religion as bunk — and he finally found Smiley Blanton who since that time has kept definite office hours with Dr. Peale at the church.

Since the war. Dr. Peale has been in contact with a new use for his religious psychiatry — our soldier returned from overseas. Living near the Pawling, New York rest camp. Dr. Peale has visited these men and discovered that the more simple religion is made, the more confidence the men have in i t He cited several examples showing the childlike and simple trust these men put in Christ.

Dr. Peale urged that each one of us who had not yet had an ex-perience with God to "Get out and get one right away quick."

Outside Speakers Lead Diverse Chapel Services

During the week, January 22-26, various programs were given in chapel. On Monday Reverend T. Kenneth Hoffmaster, the minister of the local Methodist church, was in charge of devotions. Elaine Scholten and George Poppen, Y.W. and Y.M. representatives, led the devotions on Tuesday with special music being offered by B e t t y Brinkman singing "Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled" by Speeks with accompaniment by Barbara Taxe-laar. On Wednesday Dr. Norman

Attitudes aren't easily changed — we know that. But if all Houseboard members would shoulder their responsibility — feel that it is their personal duty to see that dormitory laws and rules are maintained, and feel this very deeply, then I think dormitory girls would have more respect for their governing body. In this way the girls who do seem to be very stringent in the way they take hold of their responsi-

The Glee Club is again going to make use of its Holland back-ground. They have been invited to sing at the Literary Club February the 9th. The program, put on by the Netherlands Information Bu-reau, will feature a speaker from the Dutch underground movement and our Glee Club, singing the Dutch songs which they used for the "V-Day" movie.

Rev. Bast, our former college pastor, has asked the girls to sing at the Bethany Church in Grand Rapids on February 11. They will render special music both at a Christian Endeavor meeting in the afternoon and at the evening serv-ice.

A great deal of the success of Prayer Week will be dependent upon the music at each service.

Ed. Note: This is the second in a series of articles to point out some of the big features around us on the campus.

Graves Is Shrouded In Romanfic Past History

Exactly forty years before our new chapel was built, W. K. John-son, designer of that building, de-signed another beautiful building in modified Renaissance architec-ture. That building was built on the site of the DuHope Printing Office in 1892, and still s tands in all of its splendor at the Hope College entrance. Graves Library and Winant's Chapel, whose chief donors were N. F. Graves and Capt. Winant, had its cornerstone of granite laid in June, 1892. For nine months men labored on its solid stone walls and Italian workmen sculptured its beautiful Italian carvings on the doors and windows. And then, in the spring of 1893, its doors were opened to college functions.

Sitting here now, pouring energy into research books, it seems hard to picture a group of dignified Dutch people gathered in thiS same room for a chapel service; or to visualize the commencement serv-ices as they looked, especially that first group of Class A boys from the prep school; or to see a group of college fellows arranging chairs for a weekly YMCA meeting. But all those things took place here in Winant's Chapel.

Right here in the bay window stood the pulpit platform surround-ed with worship chairs ready for the Holland churches to use a t any time. The room was closed off by big accordion doors that swung up or down, according to needs.

The stack room and reading room were always situated as they are now. The registrar 's room and the librarian's office are both new, while the three classrooms are standbys of the original.

Graves Library is a beautiful building filled with the memories of our fa thers and filled with mem-ories of us. We should all, some time, stop and really come to ap-preciate the majesty of i ts walls.

Well, chillins — I see cupid has been working overtime these past couple of weeks and the only person not so busy is the stork. Because of the war and our accelerated pro-grams, winter seems to be the sea-son for turning fancies instead of spring. But one never can tell what spring holds in store.

One of the highlights of the past week was Dorothy Wichers Claver and Bud's wedding. It was a beau-tiful affair and on the way out both bride and groom looked plenty happy. Can't say as I blame them. Harland Steele and Bruce Mikula, both ushers at the wedding, will soon be learning the steps to the "Lohengrin Bridal Chorus" with their to-be-brides, Evelyn Vermulm and Jane Fichtner.

Elaine Mensinger is taking flight to Florida a f t e r exams to become Mrs. Del Boersma. Time waits fo r no one these days.

Are you engaged? Well, watch out if you aren't , you might be by next week. Latest yes-women are Evelyn Reus and Margie Wiersma. No dates have been set for the weddings. But watch the next AN-CHOR! Ruth Harmeling wears a f ra terni ty pin as of Christmas va-vation. Congratulations, k e e d s . Glenna — should you be in this column or not?

Ev Shiffner "Took the A Tra in" to New Brunswick to see Jim off to war and Edith Wolbrink followed

suit but instead of a good-bye, wel-comed her man home a f t e r a year and a half with the boys who "ride in fame or go down in flame" over Germany. ^

Two Lootenants formerly pri-vates in the A.S.T.P. Uni t here at Hope, came back for a revisit to see their old Alma Mater — I don't know whether they saw the college or not but I know they saw a lot of two lucky gals, Bobbie Bilkert and Lou Voss. Camp Wheeler and Fort Meade exist on the map fo r them now.

Marian Reus can t wait fo r a month to pass when Chris will be able to leave Kalamazoo where he has just been t ransferred to the V-12 unit at Western State. You lucky girl, you!

If anyone wants to know the best approach ^ h e n asking a fellow to a party ask Rozzie Scholten. If he doesn't answer immediately, throw a shoe at him.

If anyone found any grey mat-ter outside Van Vleck, please re-turn to Miss Nolan a f t e r exams. She lost it a couple of nights ago when the ice was extra slippery and she wants it back.

The party was held in the Tulip Room of the Warm Friend Tavern, which was decorated with pine trees forming a forest and several stars adorning the walls and table.

The program included Marilyn Greenwood, moongirl, who toe danced, and Norma Albers, shoot-ing star, who played "March Winds" on the piano. The Delphi Sextet, composed of Mary Lois De Fouw, Mary Ellen Brouwer, Elaine Meeusen, Peggy Cross, Carole Mep-pelink, and Connie Crawford, moon-beams singing "More Than You Know." Mary Ellen Brouwer, Mary Lois DeFouw, and Millie Vermaire, Heavenly bodies, impersonated the Andrews Sisters and Boots Mc-Cann offered humor in the form of Moonshine.

Dorms Can B« Wonderful When Some

Girl's Man Comes Back To'The States ^ Maybe you wouldn't believe it

unless-you saw it — thirty or forty girls so interested in another girl's phone call — kind of a silly sight for eleven o'clock at night.

There's a great deal of closeness in a dorm like ours; and ever}' once in awhile this human kindness shows up. You never realize it un-til something happens as it did last night.

You're sitting drinking cokes and gabbing, or cramming as the mood moves you. Outside the corridor lights have been put out for the night, and everything is one big | shadow. Suddenly the sharp ring of the telephone breaks the silence,1

and your mental process halts while

you listen and hope it's going to be your buzzer that will ring. A girl's name is shrieked in the same thrilled, insistent way. ' She lives down by the stairs, and her man is back in the states again. In a couple of seconds there is a scuff-ling and a hurrying down the hall from every direction. You stick your head out the door, and think, "Well, for pity sake, why is every-body so nosey?" Who wants to have a whole lot of people around the first time in two years. You hear his voice.

Two years, you think, packed with a life time of longing — as you add another pair of scuffling feet to the corridor. You stand out-

WARM FRIEND TAVERN

side the booth, and notice the peo-ple around you. Some with knit-ting in their hands, towels wrapped around freshly shampoed hair, one energetic individual chins herself on a doorway. You hear things like — "Where is he, Florida?" . . . "Shhh" . . . "How long has it been?" Some are explaining, some look around in amazement at such a silly sight. Yet even they wear that expression of interest mixed with a little tension. Maybe it's curiosity for some, it's a chance for freshmen to be out of their rooms anyway.

Then the door opens and you can feel a room brimful of excitement as she says simply, "Mrs. K., may I go home in two hours?" And even breathing stops as Mrs. K. hesitates and you hear her say, "Of course you can." And the "my dear," is lost in a whoop that goes up. "Isn't it exciting?" . . . "What did he say?" . . . "What did she say?" . . . "Was she crying?" . . . "Is he coming a f te r her?"

There is no aloofness to such

demonstrations of feeling. There are eyes full of — well, full, and hearts that go out in understand-ing. You see, that 's because that telephone call wasn't just hers, it wasn't even just her man that called. It belonged to every girl in the dorm. It belonged to me, and I lived her happiness for just a minute as I squeezed her arm and walked back to the quiet and aloneness of my room. Turning out the light, I thought, of the feeling of closeness there is when some-thing good happens to one of us. I snuggled my nose a little far ther into the pillow and breathed the last of my prayer, "maybe mine will be next."

of Sorosis Glittoring Gay Nineties Review The Gay Nineties Club a t the

Tavern on the comer of 8th am Central was ablaze with lights anc action Saturday night, the 28th of January, when Sigma Sigma pre-sented "Gaslight Fantasies of '46." The first nighters arrived at seven-thirty for dinner preceding the pro-gram. Guests of honor were the Mr. and Mrs. Milton Hinga of West Twelfth St., and the Mr. and Mrs. Albert Lampen of East Fourteenth St. Celebrities present at the open-ing night were Rosanna Atkins, Owen Koeppe, Mary Liz Aldrich, Thomas Boslooper, Barbara Taze-laar, Dick Hine, Elsie Parsons, Ray MacDonald, Mary Lou Hemmes, Roy Zwemer, Betty De Vries, Rob-ert Burton, Elaine Bielefeld, Ken-neth Steketee, Ruth Joldersma, Walter Krins, Natalie Bosman, Robert Chard, Doris Frederick, Bob Danhoff, Phyllis Barense, Robert Spaulding, Lois Hospers, Walter Groenewoud, Mary McLean, J o h n Parsons, Lou Jonkman, Gene Van Tamelen, Gwen Lemmen, Louis Brooks, Kay Steketee, Ted Boeve, Norma Vader, Bob Bennett, Norma Vander Wiere, James Yuk, Marge Lucking, Bob Boelkins, Joyce Sibly, John Smallegan, Betty Visscher, Bruce Vander Klupp, Virginia Hemmes, Tim Harrison, Carol Jean Hermance and Russ Cloetingh.

The decorations carried out the Victorian theme. The door and two murals on the wall had red crepe paper curtains with a yellow fringe. Two figures on the wall were re-converted into a Floridora Girl dressed in aqua and white and a waiter in a tuxedo. Each table had a kerosene lamp in the center with place cards made of canes and parasols.

The floor show opened with the entrance of eight couples, in old-fashioned costumes singing "East Side, West Side," accompanied by Barbara Tazelaar at the piano. Joldy, as Mistress of Ceremonies, welcomed the guests and took them on down Broadway where they met Joyce Sibly (as a man) and Cal Hermance (a girl) "Strolling Through the Park One Day." After they strolled off Lou Jonkman and

Kay Steketee rolled in on "A Bi-cycle Built fo r Two." They hiked off just in time to let the audience hear the famous Barber Shop Quar-tet, composed of Betty DeVries, Marge Lucking, Ginny Hemmes, and Mary Lou Hemmes, singing "Clementine." Tears filled the eyes of the spectators at the close of the song. (Tears of laughter.)

Elsie Parson strutted on t h e stage and chose her "strawberry blond," Mary Liz Aldrich, to dance with while "The Band Played On." Since it was getting quite hot, a change of scene was requested and so "By the Sea" was slowly played as Natalie Bosman in a man's an-cient bathing suit, saw and ac-quainted herself with Freddie Fred-ricks in an equally ancient bathing su i t

With a flash of lights and laugh-ter, the six Floridora girls came on. They wore dresses in full flow-ing skirts with blouses and bon-nets. The 18th century never saw such a performance, I'm sure. Elsie Parsons followed in a little melo-dramatic scene where she wept buckets while Taz played "She's More to Be Pitied Than Censured." Ginny Hemmes, af ter having slight-ly too much of something, por-trayed a characteristic state of mind in just such a situation with i background of music playing 'The Doors Swing In, the Doors

Swing Out." Then the chorus left the Bowery and the audience was left to the mercy of their own en-tertainment for the rest of the evening. The curtain came down on the successful first Sorosis party of '45. Here's to many more just ike it!

the classrooms. Following this, Joyce Van Oss read a paper on the "Cultural Values Radio" stressing mainly the literary and musical values, and listing programs of both types. The discussion, which dealt mainly with the freedom of radio, was led by Elaine Bielefeld. Refreshments were served at the close of the meeting.

The next meeting has been sched-uled for February 18.

G*rman Club Cent. on the German Language entitled, "German is nice, so we s p e a k French." Millie Burghart gave an anecdote on Germany and A1 Rez-elman and Gus Levi gave a dia-logue in German. After playing a game of "Authors" with German cards, a t which Nellie Ritsema won, the meeting adjourned.

Chapd S*rvic*s Cont. Vincent Peale delivered his stirring address.

On Thursday and Friday chapel were in charge of two faculty members, Dr. J . Harvey Kleinhek-sel and Rev. Paul E. Hinkamp, re-spectively. Rev. Hinkamp spoke on the symbol located in the upper south window of the chapel.

Fritz Crisler of Michigan is already looking ahead to post-war sports with a plan to increase college sports. He wants to make "athletics for all" a reality by having sports weekends with games such as foot-ball for lighter players, soccer, rugby, and other seasonal games as well as the main games. Competition in about twenty sports instead of ten with a limit for freshmen and an intramural program to back up the plan would increase the opportunity for students to participate in competitive sports. Crisler's major problem now is where will the

money come from ? The old maxim thai the early bird catches the worm is being

proved by a team from Tennessee coached by Mauer. Last summer basketball prospects started practice sessions from 0:15 to 7:31) in the morning. The extra drills are paying off now, for the team has won nine out of its ten games.

Hockey fans can still see Karl Siebert in the National Hockey League. After fourteen years of professional playing, Siebert is now with the Detroit Red Wings. In a game last week he made two quick goals in the final period to help defeat the Boston Bruins, and also to prove that his career on the ice is not finished.

The Petersen classic, bowling's highest paid competition, began last Saturday. For the 1,728 sharpshooters, the next sixteen days will determine who will receive the top prize of $5,100 out of the total $43,200 which will be paid. That's really something to aim for.

At the meeting in February, the major league baseball officials will probably discuss the duties of and possible candidates for the position of commissioner. It is doubtful whether there will be an election yet. War Mobilization Chief James Byrnes was suggested as a possible candidate, and several baseball officials approved. However, he says that he wouldn't even consider it. Frick of the National League is also a candidate.

Ray Mangrum played the best games in his golfing career and set a new record for the course as he won the Tucson Open with a score of 2<»8 for 72 holes. Mangrum pocketed the first prize of $1,000. Byron Nelsr.M was penalized twice, and came in second with 261).

Baseball is going ahead with its plans for Spring training. The training sites have been selected, and the tentative dates for beginning drills have been set. Indiana seems to be the most popular state, for six teams have picked training camps there. The earliest starting date is March 7, when batterymen for the Senators will begin limbering up. Most of the other clubs are scheduled to start around the fifteenth of March.

The President has given baseball the go-ahead sign for the 11)45 season. The only restriction was that it shouldn't interfere with the war. He said that he didn't think any healthy young man should be playing baseball in these times, and club owners say that they think there will be enough material to put worthwhile teams on the field.

The big basketball game of the weekend was the Illinois-Iowa clash. However, at the time this was written, the game had not been played. It's possible that Iowa still remains unbeaten and leader of the league. It is also possible that Illinois defeated Iowa, which would mean Iowa and Ohio would tie for the lead.

Flash: The New York Yankee ball club has been sold for $2,800,000 to a group of men composed of Larry MacPhail, Dan Topping, and Del Webb. Kd Barrow will remain active as chairman of the board, and Joe McCarthy as manager. Barrow was the general manager and president of tlu* Yankee dub for 24 years. The other American League owners will probably welcome the new owners with unanimous approval. The deal was not forced and had been on the fire for about a year.

282 River Ave. Open Saturday Evenings

Pat and David were one of those couples that were just made for each other. She had soft ash-blonde hair and warm brown eyes; his hair was brown and wavy, and his eyes a deep blue. They had graduated from college together.

Pat worked in the office of a large publishing company. David was just getting a good start in radio work when his call came. Pat wrote to him every night and went to see him once. She liked to send him cookies and fudge and once in awhile a snapshot of her-self. On his first furlough he brought her a lovely diamond and they announced their engagement. That was in April.

In August he had another fur-lough — the last before he went overseas. They had a wonderful time and all too soon it was his last day. They drove out through the country and stopped at a little town where there was a carnival. They rode on the broken-down merry-go-round. threw baseballs at the clown in back of the sheet, drank pink lemonade and ate peanuts. David made the bell ring at the strength thermometer and Pat chose the prize — a funny little figure of a clown who was crying. David did it again and won a jungle hat which thrilled him.

Then they climbed a little hill and spread out their picnic lunch. Pat laughed at David's jungle hat and gave him a long green fern for a feather to put in it. He stuck it in the band and let it fall across the front of the hat. Pat took a picture of him.

Finally their day was over and David went back to camp and then overseas. Pat kept the funny pic-ture in her wallet to remember their last day together. But she didn't need a picture. She felt an amazing warmth and closeness to David. Nobody would ever guess there were 3,000 miles between

them. It make her the cheeriest girl around the office.

As she typed sometimes she'd let her mind wander across the miles, and a faint smile would come to her lips as she thought of him. During lunch hour she often read his last letter over again. If she didn't get them too often she didn't worry; she knew he'd write when he could.

One day as she was typing Pat thought she saw a shadow pass over her paper. She looked up and no one was there, but something had happened. A cold chill went down her spine. Softly she whis-pered, "David," but she had lost that close feeling. All the warmth between them was gone. At first she thought she didn't love him any more, and then she knew. She knew as if someone had come and told her — something had hap-pened to David.

The other girls in the office were distressed at Pat's morbidness dur-ing the next week. They tried to tell her it was imagination, that things don't happen like that. Fri-day night they insisted she go to the movies with them.

When the news came, there were several close-ups of soldiers in ac-tion. Pat sat forward on her seat and grabbed the next girl's arm. "That's David," she breathed. It was David. It was him in a hat camouflaged with leaves. He looked like he did in the picture she had taken of him at the carnival. She sat for a long minute af ter it was over, and then she left.

She ran down the street toward home. It was a long way and when she got there, she was worn out, exhausted. She stumbled into the house and found it — the telegram. She didn't have to read it — she knew.

"Regret to inform you . . . miss-ing in action."

The Big Three meeting which is supposed to come up soon will have several big questions before it. Some of these un-settled questions are. Where shall the boundaries of the Reich be fixed, how soon should purely German governments be per-mitted. and what should be done with German Industry? How soon will the Big Three of the European war become the Big Four?

Our casualty list makes unpleasant reading, but perhaps if it were brought to our attention more frequently, we would not so easily become over optimistic. Total United States casualties in three years of war now total 663,859. This is more than two and a half times the United States casualties of World War 1.

Heaviest Army casualties were during the concentrated and furious period of the Normandy invasion. D-day also marked the beginning of a sharp ascent which continued to mount as the fighting advanced closer to Germany's borders. While the casualties on the Normandy beaches were lower than the most optimistic had guessed, the total as of January 1, 1945 was substantially higher than even the pessimistic had expected.

As United States forces increasingly assumed the burden of the fighting on the Western Front and committed themselves more extensively in the Pacific campaign, their losses drew closer to those of the British Commonwealth, which now total more than 1,000,000 in five and a quarter years of conflict.

Hungary, last of Germany's military satellites, changed sides in the war last week. In Moscow Marshal Klimenti Voroshilov (signing for the United States and Britain, as well as for the Soviet Union) granted an armistice to the Hungarian Provisional National Government. By its terms, Hungary agreed to: 1. Furnish eight divisions to fight against Germany; 2. Pay reparations of $300,000,000 (in goods); 3. Renounce the territorial spoils of her six-year cruise abroad Adolph Hitler's pirate ship.

Today, we deal with facts and| figures — numerical and otherwise! The latest dope hot off the press concerns bowling. The highest keg-glers are the following: Pinks Mul-der, 150; Nellie Mae Wezeman, 150; Ike Van der Heuvel, 148; Tom-mie Van Leeuwen, 133; Nellie Mae Ritsema, 132; Loretta Bonzelaar, 122. Three cheers for the over-privileged! Why not come and try your luck on Fridays from 1 to 5? We need more bowlers and the ex-ercise will improve your figure or give you one! Remember — you pay 15c per game and W.A.A. pays 8c per game. Limit — 2 games per person. It will be relaxing af ter your mental struggles of this week.

Jack's foul shooting contest is

really progressing at a two-forty

pace. The highest individual scores

are as follows: Out of a possible 100 — Sophomores, Frances V a n

Leeuwen, 40; Mary Young, 36; Marion Korteling, 35; Freshmen, Irene Demian, 45; Alida Klooster-man, 36; Isla Van der Heuvel, 36. The highest averages of the teams are: Sophomores, Bears, 224; Lions, 210; Tigers, 183; Panthers, 170; Freshmen, Ohio, 187; Wisconsin, 179; Air Corps, 147. Not bad, eh!

Yells such as "foul," "over-guarding," "outside," and "jump ball" echo from the gym every Tuesday night af ter Y. Yep, it's basketball with all its thrills and spills. Tuesday, January 23, G. Hemmes' team overran M. Schol-ten's and B. Timmer's team took L. Romaine's squad for a loop. The week before Mensinger's defeated Timmer's and Romaine's bowed to Hemmes.' Due to unavoidable cir-cumstances no games were played last night. I move that we dispense with exams — no second — motion dropped!
