Bachelors Beware By Beverly Joeckel

Star t saving your money, girls! Be on your best be-havior, fellows! For the week of February 9 to 14 is Dutch Treat Week at Hope College.

Dutch Treat Week was inaugurated in 1950 and is now an established tradition. This is one week when the feminine population does all the asking and paying for dates, while the masculine counterparts just sit back and relax.

One of the specially planned activities for this unique week is the Bachelor Bank. The bank itself is a large box to be found in Van Raalte Hall into which hopeful girls can place their names. The bachelors are twenty of the most eligible men on campus, four from every fraterni ty, who will each draw a name from the box at a ceremony at 12:35 A.M. on Monday, the first day of Dutch Treat Week. The bachelors and the twenty lucky girls whose names have been picked will make use of donations of entertainment by merchants of Holland.

Other highlights of the week include the faculty recital and the home basketball game and par ty on Valentine's Day. Judy Eastman and Carol Joelson, assisted by Lynne Feltham, Mary Decker, Adina Yonan, Carolyn Kleiber, Arlene Cizak, and Gail Friesma are organizing the program for the week.

Open Your Eyes Why don't you stop today and take a good look at your calendar?

This little mechanism that puts delight in the eyes of advertising executives reads February 6. Think over the importance of this date for a few minutes, especially if you couldn't remember what day It was for tha t quiz this morning. Do you realize t ha t jus t four months f rom today is June 6 and without doubt the day several of Hope's young ladies are looking forward to with s tarry eyes? And the rest of us too, fo r behind us then will be finals, perhaps fo r the last time.

Now look back f rom today. Two weeks ago we were heaving sighs over our last exams and their poignant and perhaps painful memories for us. But besides the memories of hours spent on hard seats and the marks they gave us, did our classes and exams do anything else for us ? Perhaps if they didn't, we should wonder why — for certainly past experience should govern our fu tu re actions.

We are still barely two weeks into this semester. Why not let it be the one in which we strive fo r excellence? Surely there is no shame in doing one's best, either academically or in other fields. Can' t we all admit tha t resolutions are in order to get more variety into our lives, to develop an interest in things outside the world of Hope College?

Last week there was a man on campus who once again emphasized fo r us the danger signals appearing in American life. Dr. Harold Ehrensperger , in speaking of the factors which isolate us f rom our fellow men, and make our lives empty, sounded reminiscent of Eric Fromm and Rolla May. Have we absorbed these men's ideas ? Are we do-ing anything to put life into our existance? We need to see t ha t it is important not only to live in the world of Hope College but in the larger one as well. We can say tha t we are being educated, but merely going to classes, studying and living in and for this restricted campus is no guarantee of a complete education. The fully educated person is one who is conversant, famil iar with, and has an understanding of the events, problems and personalities of the whole world.

Restricting our education to "book larnin' " may get us a job on graduation but we'll find tha t we are not really prepared to live. And it may by only because we did not even glance a t one or two good magazines or newspapers a week, attend our own college cultural pro-grams nor simply turn the radio dial to some news or special events programs. We need intellectual stimulation or else we s tagnate . Let's widen our horizons. As the advertisement fo r a famous newspaper says — "I t ' s more interesting, and you will be too."

The Campus Intellectual

Hurrah for Mr. Clark By Jim Michmerhuizen

My first acquaintance with Wal-ter Van Tilburg Clark came through a thick and poorly bound volume of paperback fantasy. I was young and very naive, and had been led by the title (A typically pretentious one: Timeless Stories for Today and Tomorrow, edited by Ray Brad-bury) to believe tha t it was a book of Science-fiction.

The list of authors represented in the anthology read like a Who's Who of contemporary l i terature — Steinbeck, Shirley Jackson, E. B. White, Franz Kafka , and John Cheever among others. Clark was represented by his "The Portable Phonograph", a brilliant piece of fantasy, evocative of Benet's "By the Waters of Babylon".

Clark is not a prolific writer. Since 1940 he has wri t ten three novels and perhaps a dozen short stories, the most well known of which is probably "The Ox-Bow Incident". But f a r and away his most fascinat ing novel is "The City of Trembling Leaves".

"The City of Trembling Leaves" is a sprawling autobiographical work, with its set t ing in Reno, the city of Clark's youth. It tells, in a wonderfully sympathetic and mov-ing style, of Timothy Hazard, and the influence of the Divine Mary, and Harold the Panderer : the fal l of the house of Hazard, and Lawr-ence swimming wearily in circles.

and about the paper prayer — the curiously antique, piquant flavor of the table of contents (excerpts above) makes it a tantal izing ap-petizer to the casual browser.

In "The City of Trembling Leaves" Clark has reclaimed for American Li terature a personality tha t had been f a s t disappearing in the face of persecution f rom the Freudian wing of writers — the deeply romantic, idealist, creative personality. Nowhere are we taken inside the mind of a neurotic, a prosti tute, nowhere are we asked to feel sorry for a maniac or a mass murderer , nor is there the slightest breath of an Oedipus com-plex — by all s tandards of today this is a novel tha t wouldn't have a chance against anything f rom the pen of Steinbeck, Hemingway, or Faulkner.

I t is a story of adolescence, one of the best I know of. At the end of the book Tim Hazard is married, quite happily married ( 0 Blas-phemy), and Clark has ar t fu l ly in-troduced himself into the story as a na r ra to r of sorts — you will re-member I told you it was auto-graphical to some extent. The per-fection of the style, the descriptive passages reminiscent of Wolfe a t his least flowery and most brilliant, are all immensely refreshing in a time when any thinly disgused case-history of a psychopath is bound to become a best-seller.

Foreign Study Scholarships EDITOR'S NOTE: Hope's I.R.C. has made $1,000 available for foreign study scholarships. Because of its importance, the ANCHOR is reprinting the require-ments.

One thousand dollars in foreign study scholarships has been made available to Hope College students by the Hope College International Relations Club. There are three awards: one fo r five hundred, one for three hundred, and one fo r two hundred dollars. These scholarships are designed to stimulate interest in foreign study programs among Hope College students. No res-

triction as to subject mat te r stu-died, or countries in which students may study, was made. The schol-arships may be used fo r summer study outside of the United States, as well as fo r a semester or a year abroad.

Applications fo r the IRC For-eign Study Scholarships mus t be submitted to the Hope College Committee on Scholarships before March 1, 1959. Announcement of the awards will be made on March 25th. Application blanks may be obtained f rom Dr. Hollen-bach's office. Subject to the follow-ing basic qualifications any Hope

Student may apply. The applicant must :

1. Be a creditable representative of Hope College.

2. Have maintained a scholastic average of 3.00 or better (in the preceding semester).

3. Have completed his college language requirement.

4. Plan to return to Hope Col-lege the semester following his foreign study.

5. Enroll in an accredited aca-demic program in a foreign coun-try (a summer, one semester, or full year program).

6. Demonstrate a need for finan-cial assistance as indicated within this application.

7. Submit with his application a statement (not more than five hun-dred words) of:

A. The nature of his proposed study program,

B. His reasons for carrying out the program,

C. The preparations he will have completed for it,

D. And the relation of this pro-gram to his future plans.

The money for the Foreign Stu-dy Scholarships was raised by Hope College Students through various all-campus projects sponsored by the International Relations Club. Similar scholarship projects were conducted by the Hope IRC in the past two years. The first such drive enabled five Hungar ian stu-dents to enter Hope College in 1957. Three of them are now in their second year a t Hope. The IRC project for the current year was to bring one Austr ian Student to the campus.

Jus t as in previous years, the

purpose of the IRC project is to

st imulate intercultural understand-

ing. While past projects had served

to bring foreign s tudents to Hope

College fo r study, the new Foreign

Study Scholarships will make it

possible f o r several Hope students

to enroll in various academic pro-

grams abroad. I t is hoped tha t

they will not only profit f rom this

experience personally, but tha t , when they re turn to the campus, they will also make a positive con-tribution toward g rea te r interna-tional understanding among their fellow students.

is working on a fire prevention pro-gram. They are especially con-cerned about buildings such as Van Raalte. The MACSG is meeting on January 17 at Adrian. Because of the on-coming exams, Hope will not be represented.

Vice Pres. : Bob Van Et ten has been appointed as the student rep-resentative on the Community Con-cert Association Committee. Vern Kortering is in charge of the stu-dent help fo r second semester registration. Standing Committees:

Registrat ion Committee: Twelve students volunteered to help with second semester registration.

Honor Code Committee: This committee has expanded to also in-clude the three deans and one representative f rom each sorority and f ra tern i ty . The committee has decided tha t an honor code would be worthwhile. A code is being drawn up. Old Business:

Suggested topics for discussion at the joint meet ing with Calvin a re : honor code, activity fee, stu-dent union, and the election system. New Business:

The Independents would like to change their election procedure fo r SC representatives. The new plan would include the petitioning of nominees, and balloting to be car-ried on in Van Raalte. I t was moved and seconded tha t we adopt and promote the new procedure. An amendment to the motion was made and seconded to delete the proposal to promote and merely to endorse the Independent 's plan. The amendment was carried and like-wise the amended motion.

Mr. Rietberg and the chapel com-mittee would like to remind all chapel leaders to keep the service within twenty minutes.

The meeting was adjourned a t 5:50 P.M.

Spice and Crumbs By Richard J. Jaarsma

Now tha t most of us have re-ceived our marks of last semester and vowed with an almost religi-ous fervor tha t we are going to study harder and bet ter next se-mester , it is, I think, my task to help you along in keeping this re-solution. How can I s tudy people ask me. I don't know why they should come to me, but I will ad-mit I feel flattered and will do all I can to help.

One of the prerequisites to good study is a nice orderly desk, where each needed pencil or note card is within instant reach. Thus, to miti-ga te the boredom of actually sit-t ing down to study, you can spent a t least an hour ge t t ing everything ready. This does much to bolster your ego, and incidentally, auto-matically cuts your study time in half by giving you such a warm feeling of purpose and success, t ha t you may quite easily forge t to do two or three assignments.

If a f t e r you have cleaned up your desk, and still do not expe-rience the spark tha t is so neces-sary if there is any work to be done, you might possibly work up a terrific th i rs t and since the near-est place t ha t sells anything like tomato juice is three blocks away, it will give you another excuse fo r not rushing into the unpleasant task too soon. And what a time it tu rns out to be in the res taurant ! There 's Bob and George and even Lynn and Mary! But all good things must come to an end, and you finally re turn to the books with a heavy heart and three glass-es of tomato juice in your stomach.

I t is not easy to break into a new book f o r the first t ime and i t must be done only with the ut-most care, otherwise you may tear the book and have to go to the Blue Key to buy a new one. In my own tor tured life I have gone to the Blue Key three out of the four times tha t I have had to pur-chase my books there. So you see, only the most careful s tudents can successfully open a new book without bringing ruin upon them-selves.

Once you have finally s tar ted, don't hesitate to call a f r iend and, est imating the t ime you need to finish all your work (one half hour) invite him to go out f o r coffee with you. He will be only too glad to accompany you, and you can go out happy in the thought tha t you have spent a t least one evening in constructive, educative processes.

So you see how easy studying really is. If there are any questions you may still have please don't come to me, as I will probably be too busy studying to help you. Oh, don't fo rge t to watch fo r my next article on THE GOOD STUDENT, which will be concerned with what to do when you receive a fai l ing mark for a course. I t promises to be highly interest ing and in-formative.

A Typical College Day by Mildred Gloss

I am NOT a grouch! But I'll tell you one thing, if I were a grouch, I'd have plenty of reason for it today. Everything has gone wrong. I don't think I could have done a thing r ight today to save my soul. Honestly, some days it doesn't even pay to take the hard-ware out of your hair in the morn-ing.

I didn't even wake up r ight . My day star ted with a nightmare. A handsome prince was rescuing me from a fire-eating dragon, and just as he was about to whisk me away on his milk-white steed, tha t boy-crazy Sally f rom down the hall slithered up behind me, clobbered me with tha t oversize suitcase she calls a purse, and ran off with my prince. Talk about fr iendly people!

Right about then the alarm went off. I jumped out of bed, down on-to my desk, and then landed flat on my skull on the floor. Bea had moved the chair before she went to bed. While I was collecting my addled wits, she finally heard the alarm. She bounded blindly out of bed with her usual early-morning agility, landed with both feet in my stomach, made a wild grab for the desk to keep f rom falling, and knocked a lamp and a chair over in the process.

A f t e r breakfas t , we dragged our bruised and broken bodies to Chap-el. We were late as usual. I man-aged to fall up the s tairs somehow, and then I walked all over a little man I didn't see. Natura l ly I had to climb over all the kids in my row. They would have to get there on t ime!

Firs t hour we were supposed to have a Big French Test, but the kids had talked the instructor out of giving it for the past two weeks and would probably talk her out of it again. I hadn' t studied for it anywayvTso i couldn't see spending an hour in tha t s tuffy classroom on those hard chairs listening to a bunch of idiots ask stupid questions to kill time. I came back to the dorm and sacked out. Mmmmmm, did it feel good!

By the time I woke up to see what t ime it was, second hour was half over with, and figuring tha t Doc White would ra ther I didn't in terrupt his lecture, I rolled over and floated back to Dreamland. Everything was fine fo r a while.

Then tha t "cotton-pickin' " room-mate of mine came galloping in and screamed tha t if I wanted to make my four th hour class I'd have to roll out in a hurry. I mut-tered that I didn't particularly want to make it, but she hauled me out anyhow, the meddler!

I walked into English class three minutes a f t e r the bell had rung, and as soon as I got comfortably settled in my seat, this fellow that si ts next to me who is also in my French class demanded to know where I had been first hour and why I had missed the Big Test. It seems that this time the kids weren't able to talk their way out of it. How's tha t for luck?

Lunch wasn' t bad except tha t we had liver, Brussels sprouts and rhubarb pie, all of which I hate with a purple passion.

Work was horrible. I couldn't read my shorthand. The typewriter kept sticking. I took my r ing off so it wouldn't be in my way and it fell on the floor and I banged my head on the desk when I leaned over to pick it up.

Af t e r work I came back to the dorm and star ted my homework. I got all my French t ranslated a f -te r only two hours of hard labor, and I was filling my pen to copy it over, when the bottle tipped over. What a mess! Ink on the desk, on the floor, on the chair, and all over my French, darn it! I t was so full of ink tha t I couldn't read it any more, so I had to do the whole translat ion over again.

That night, I stumbled up the s tairs and fell into bed. Ju s t before I fell asleep, dear, sweet, kind Bea poked me and asked if I didn't think I'd bet ter set my hair so I wouldn't look quite so much like someone's left-over sheep dog in the morning. Being a well-bred, patient; happy, smiling, well-adjust-ed-type individual by nature, and a member of a Christian college by a quirk of Fate , I stifled a sudden mad impulse to throw books, bombs, rocks, and rusty razor blades at my beloved roommate, climbed foggily out of my nice warm bunk, stumbled over the waste basket and a few people tha t were scattered all over the floor, and wound my wig. Then I tottered unsteadily back to bed, and to sleep.

Checking his reports is Mr. Lighthart head custodian at Hope before he leaves his office to check the twenty-three bui ld ings on Hope's campus.

Behind the Scenes By Richard J aa r sma

A few years ago, when an Aus-t r ian professor was visiting Hope's campus, he saw two people Walk-ing through the halls of one of our buildings. The one was dressed in a suit, the other wore a jacket and work pants . The Austr ian professor commented on the appearance of the one by saying, "Do your prof-essors sometimes wear clothes like t h a t ? " He was great ly surprised when he was told tha t one was our head janitor , Mr. Lighthar t , and the other was one of our professors. The easygoing camaraderie of the janitor-professor relationship to his mind was an overstepping of the bounds of social class.

The at t i tude between Mr. Light-ha r t and many oi the faculty- i s tha t of fr iendship and not of prof-essor and janitor. Since he came to this campus twelve years ago, Mr. Lighthar t has made fr iends with many of the faculty and even more of the students. Whether be-hind the wheel of his little jeep in the winter or walking the campus in the spring, Mr. Lighthar t is always characterized by his school jackets which he wears more fa i th-ful ly than some of the students. In fact , he is o f ten mistaken fo r one of the students.

Mr. Lighthar t ' s special province is to rule over the twenty-three buildings which comprise Hope's

campus and he covers a lot of ground (8 acres, at least once a day) as he must check up on each of them. About his job, Mr. Light-har t says, "You can call me any-thing, janitor , maintenance engi-neer, superintendent of buildings, anything. I go under many differ-ent 'nom de plumes'."

Mr. Lighthar t has lived in Hol-land practically all his life, except for a few years in Chicago. He is a member of Immanuel Church here in Holland and is a respected citizen of the community.

We hope tha t a f t e r reading this article, many of you will hold our janitorial staff in a little higher esteem, since their work serves to

j n a k e pur campus a place of beau-ty. Remember, it isn't the profes-sors alone who make our college. Everyone, no mat te r how insignifi-cant or large his job, is an integral part of Hope, and a slip in any spot may bring our college life to a standstill . So, hold your heads up Mr. Lighthar t and staff , remem-ber, "They also serve who only stand and wait ."

Hope Ranked 20th in Nation

Benes Passes 1,500 Mark

Paul Benes has passed the 1,500 mark in his four-year assault on the Hope College record book and has now pushed 1,529 points through the hoop.

Despite his six points against Olivet, the 6'10" center made 32 against Hillsdale last week to move him past the 1,500 mark. Benes has scored 145 points in MI A A play and is leading the pack.

Benes broke the four-year scor-ing mark earlier this season when he stashed away 18 points against Calvin and slipped by the record of 1,351 points set by his brother-in-law Bob Hendrickson.

So f a r this season, Benes has scored 234 points and his best effort was 35 against Indiana Central.

Hope's Ray Ritsema has dump-ed through 205 points and Warren Vander Hill has scored 194. These figures have helped Hope total 979 in 11 games for an average of 89 per game.

The Dutch have held the 11 foes to 753 points and an average of (18.5 per contest.

Hope College's basketball team toyed with Lawrence Tech Wed-nesday night and ran up its high-est score of the season in record-ing a 108-82 decision before 1,800 fans in the Civic Center.

It marked Hope's 12th s t raight victory this season following its opening loss and it was the 22nd s traight home win.

Lawrence Tech proved to be much weaker than expected and were quickly outclassed. The Blue Devils brought an 8-9 record into the game.

Hope scored 10 points before Tech tallied and moved out to a 34-1(5 lead at the ten-minute mark. Af ter Tech made a basket, Hope went on a scoring binge which re-sulted in 19 s t raight points before Tech scored again. The Dutch racked up 40 points in one 11-min-ute period.

Coach Russ De Vette inserted most of his bench in the first half and the intermission score was 59-28. Lawrence Tech picked up slightly early in the second half and the bulge at the next ten-min-ute mark was 82-54.

Paul Benes turned in his best home scoring performance this sea-son. He notched 10 baskets in 25 tries and added 10 free shots for for 30 points. Most of his baskets came on tip-ins, including a dunk. He now has 283 points for move than 21 per game.

De Vette was faced with a prob-lem in the contest of what to do with his first string. Obviously outclassed, the Tech team was no match for the Dutch and tha t was evident in the opening minutes.

But Hope faces a 10-day layoff

before returning to play at Alma in the resumption of MI A A action and the regulars need the compe-tition.

De Vette compromised and play-ed his regulars about half of the first half, with the exception of Benes who played a few minutes longer and then the first group played three quar ters of the sec-ond half with the exception of Rit-sema who sat down with eight minutes to play.

As was feared a f t e r Hope's first group came back to s ta r t the sec-ond half, they were not sharp and this appeared to make Tech look better. The first unit was without Wayne Vriesman, who sprained an ankle in the first half. Bradley made six baskets for Tech in the second half.

Because Hope was not sharp they had to work harder to return to form before ret ir ing. When the last of the regulars had sat down (Benes at 4:43), Hope led 94-61.

The reserves again turned in a fine performance and played Tech on a par throughout. Bob Reid looked good on his ball handling and Bill Vander Bilt picked up two buckets, including the 100th point with four minutes remaining.

Tech actually outshot the win-ners, get t ing 35 of 93 tries fo r 38 per cent while Hope made 30 of 111 for 35 per cent. Hope made 30 of 40 free shots and Tech 12 of 20.

Ray Ritsema, who did another good defensive job, whipped in 17 points, including seven of 14 bas-ket tries. Whitey Beernink, who shinned in his floor game, made four of 10 from the floor and end-ed with 13 points while Warren Vander Hill who plunked from the

corners, hit on five of 16 for 10 points.

Vriesman, although only play-ing about five minutes, hit on three of five basket tr ies and scor-ed eight points. First replacements .Tun Buursma and Daryl Siedentop had eight and seven respectively.

Henry Pollard, former River Rouge player, made nine of 24 tries and ended with 23 points. Clayton Pethers, who played foot-ball for Ron Schipper at North-ville, had 17. He made seven of 18 and Bradley, who sank eight of 12, also picked up 17 points.
