Hopeites to Solicit Clothes For Hungarian Students Five-Day Drive Will Begin May 20; De Voogd, H. Sawitsky Head Campaign

Commencing May 20 and running for five days a drive

for clothing will take place in Holland, with headquarters at

Hope College. All types of garments will be collected, cleaned,

patched, crated and then shipped to the Sarospatak College,

an institution supported by the Reformed church of Hungary.

The entire city will have an opportunity to contribute to the

drive, which is under the direction of two Hope students, A1

De Voogd and Helga Sawitzky. Local churches will be informed

of the drive through their respec-

tive ministers, phone calls will be

placed to the citizens of Holland

and every effort will be made to

contact as many people as possible.

Upon receipt of the clothing the

local college sororities will mend

and package them. Receptacles for

the clothing will be in the form of

barrels and boxes, placed at vari-

ous points around the campus dur-

ing the week of May 20-25.

The need for wearing apparel at

Sarospatak is cute and it is hoped

that local students will cooperate

to the fullest extent in the drive.

Any surplus G.I. clothing will be

gladly accepted. Mr. De Voogd

pointed out that the Hungarian in-

stitution is a Christian college,

based on principles very similar to those of Hope, and that we as students should be all the more willing to assist in aiding these people who are making a wonder-ful attempt at rehabilitation a f t e r the ravages of war.

He stated fur ther that whereas we as American students have dif-ficulty in obtaining particular types of clothing such as white shirts and silk stockings, the Hungarian stu-dent can purchase nothing, and will be very grateful for any type, color or style of garment.

Y W Invites Mothers

To Mee t ing , Party

May 8th the YW held its annual mother-daughter meeting. F o u r speakers presented short talks about certain mothers of the Bible. Luella Pyle discussed Jacobed, the mother of Moses. The mother of Samuel, Hannah, was character-ized by Ann Fikse and the mother-in-law, Naomi, by Dorthea Dixon. Elaine Bielefeld summarized their talks by applying them to modem life situations.

The music for the meeting was presented by Betty Brinkman who sang "Mother" and "That Wonder-ful Mother of Mine." Vivian Dyke-ma led the group in devotions and prayer.

After the meeting, Betty Fuller played several selections on the harp while the group enjoyed punch and cookies.

Notice Approximately $72 worth of

c a m e r a equipment has been stolen f r o m the Photography Club equipment room on the first floor in Van Raalte Hall. The camera was stolen this week and an exposure meter a short while ago. Anyone who has any information about this equip-ment should report it immedi-ately to Dr. De Graaf or Adrian Bos. If anyone is really hard pressed for financial assistance we suggest communication with a relief agency. You might still have a conscience a f te r leaving here.

Y Cabinets Enjoy Retreat at Lake

Cars left the campus on Thurs-day afternoon, May 9, fo r Gun's cottage on Lake Michigan, where the two cabinets of Y.W.C.A. and Y.M.C.A. held their annual retreat .

Af te r a period of recreation, Wil-liam Bennett, Y.M.C.A. vice presi-dent, led in a devotional period. William Haak, p r e s i d e n t of Y.M.C.A., then took over the lead-ership of a discussion of plans fo r next year, especially concerning Orientation Week, Prayer Week, and the Mission Drive.

Following supper, the vice presi-dent of Y.W.C.A., Vivian Dykema, led the group on the dunes in a second devotional period. Marian Dame, Y.W.C.A. president, then took charge of a discussion of gen-eral problems facing the cabinets as to weekly meetings and the so-cial responsibilities of "Y."

The final note of the Retreat was given by the Rev. Harvey Hoffman in an inspirational talk.

Friday, May 24, promises to be

the biggest day of the year with

all May Day committees showing

much progress in their respective

fields.

Classes will be adjourned a t

10:00 A. M., and the sports events

will begin a day of pompous activ-

ity. These events will be between

classes, the outstanding boy and

girl in the sporting field for the

day to be presented the Jack Schou-

ten Medal.

The Coronation ceremony, the

highlight of the festival, will take

place in Pine Grove. The present

queen, Elizabeth Romaine, with the

present Court and Alcor will re-

ceive the new members. Miss Ro-

maine will then crown the new

queen of Hope Campus. The Stu-

dent Council president, Joyce Van

Oss, will be announcer for this oc-

casion.

The court members are: Eleanor Mulder, Elsie Parsons, Betty De Vries, Elaine Bielefeld, Marjorie Gysbers, and Elaine Prins.

Those who were tapped for Al-cor a re : Dorothy Atkins, Elizabeth Romaine, Marjorie Van Vranken, Harriet Van Donkelaar, Sue Leest-ma, D o r o t h y Weyenberg, a n d Elaine Prins.

How Abou t Your Thinking? Have you been thinking about World Government? Have

you schooled your thinking enough so that you are ready to

consider yourself a citizen of a world organization, that

possesses r ights extending beyond our own government's?

The aim of the world's leaders is to keep the world free

from the scourge of war. At present these men, and those

in the Security Council of the UN, are our watchdogs, ready

to pounce on any threat to world peace that rears its ugly

head.

If that is their purpose are they to be able to carry out

their tasks? No one denies the gruesome fact that theirs is the

most important and significant job ever undertaken.

The latest scientific developments have their inventors

screaming terr ifying, 'Marslike," warnings about the fury

of the next war. That war will indeed be the war to end all

wars. There just won't t e anyone left to fight.

If given proper cooperation by the nations and peoples

of the world our leaders and the UN can fulfill their duties.

But there are some things that we will have to solve here

in the United States before any semblance of success can

be achieved.

For one thing, the nations of the world and in particular

the U. S. are going to have to give up their political sov-

ereignty. We are going to have to lower our tariff barriers

gradually until free trade exists throughout the world. We

will have to subject ourselves undoubtedly, to a lower living

standard for a short period. But if that means better living

conditions for the Chinese, the Dutch, the Spanish or any

other nationality we should be willing to do that.

In the near fu ture we are going to have to invest the UN

with the power to enforce its rulings. The only way that can

be done is for the nations of the world to retain only a very

nominal fighting force and for the UN to be in control of

the largest fighting unit that exists. But then for that to

be accomplished our thinking is going to have to change.

We can't consider the French " f rogs" or the Germans "krauts." Our attitudes that have been those of hatred and killing will have to reverse themselves to friendship and brotherhood.

Our sons, brothers, and husbands, if necessary must be willing to enlist in the world military force that must become an integral part of the UN if it is to succeed. Af ter their probationary period we must become willing to consider the Japs and Germans citizens with co-equal rights, benefits and privileges in world government.

We must face these problems honestly and fairly. If we are able to go "the whole way" in the matter of world citi-zenship, in giving up our national sovereignty, in withdraw-ing our demands for spheres of influence or protectorates, then, perhaps, world government has a chance for success.

The Play After four years Hope College Pallette and Masque club

revived play production. The cast, in its first post-war play, produced a play that was superior in presentation, casting, staging, and lighting. It was better than the usual college production.

The choice of the play, however, has caused a good deal of discussion. "Outward Bound" was a fantasy about the hereafter. If the college produced several plays a year doubt-less there would have been no discussion if "Outward Bound" had been one of those.

As a Christian college, in a town where people are particu-larly sensitive to those things that pertain to the fundamental truths of God, there is little doubt that the choice of play was in bad taste.

Webster says t ha t the telephone is any instrument which t ransmits sound beyond its natural limits of audibility: more especially, an in-s t rument t ransmit t ing sound and words uttered by the human voice by means of electricity and con-ducting wires, the vibrations of a metal plate that receives the sounds a t one end of the wire giving rise to corresponding vibrations a t the other end which reproduce the sound.

Webster was a good boy and I wouldn't dispute his definitions for the world. With a little changing around this would become a de-scription instead of a definition. It would read something like th is : a chatterbox (any reference to per-sons living or dead is purely coin-cidental) is a woman who trans-mits sound beyond her natural lim-its of audibility: more especially, a woman transmit t ing sound and words uttered by the human voice by means of internal volume and conducting vocal chords, the vibra-tions of the palate tha t receives the sounds at one end of the range giving rise to corresponding vibra-tions on the ear drum of the hearer, who in turn would like to return them but can't — which is neither here nor there.

In my estimation a telephone is the only thing tnat can get away with a line — receiver-her: send-her — and has a g i f t of gab no matter which way you listen in.

Statistics prove that outside of the bathroom the telephone is the most widely used household equip-ment. If you don't call for one thing you call for another and if it isn't that it's bound to be some-thing else — no other instrument can make that statement.

Van Vleck has a phone. Y e s , ONE phone for forty girls. There are about 200 calls made a day—ten rings to each call — that makes about 2,000 rings on a sunny day. If the weather is bad the phone is usually answered in 5 rings. There are, let's say, 80 calls coming in, 80 calls going out arid 40 unan-swered calls — but don't say peo-ple don't try.

Take third floor for instance. You can vaguely hear the phone a f t e r the second ring — you open your door to make sure — that 's fctiyo more rings — then you wait and see if anybody from first or second floor is going to answer it — two

more r ings — then ensues an argu-ment with the girl across the hall as to which one of you feels more like tear ing down three flights of s tairs — the quota has gone up — that ' s three more rings — af te r she has you convinced t ha t i t 's for you anyway and you've taken the perilous tr ip down 50 steps, two at a t ime — four rings have elapsed — your 're puffing by now, your blood pressure is up, your ener-gies have hit a high pitch, you're positively drooling with anticipa-tion, your hands are outstretched, you know the 14th ring is a has-been but number 15 should be com-ing up — HELLOW ? ? ? NO AN-SWER — the buzz of the phone seems to mock you and as you s tar t your 50-step accent you breathe a soft vow to yourself — AW, I'LL MAKE IT IN 12 NEXT TIME!? ! ! ?

For those who don't know about our unique phone system, Van Vleck's phone is situated in the first floor hall for public use—pri-vate use is impossible. Everybody's conversation adds to the entertain-ment and general gossip that goes floating around the dorm. You can't whisper into the phone because you couldn't hear what you had said anyway. It's an ar t to get an idea across over the phone without hav-ing that feeling that everyone in the dorm knows just what you're talking about. More fights have been started just because of some casual remark shouted down the hall, such as "you rat ," or "you make me SO mad" — The poor fellow talking to his gal doesn't know who is talking to who.

The cord is cut regulation length — it won't reach into the living room, it won't reach out the win-dow, it won't reach into someone else's room. It 's impossible to be subtle — if the boyfriend is calling and wants to know if you like him just a little bit (you know that last minute assurance) you have to gurgle demurely into the phone that "of course, you're simply mad about Browning." One can't drop a hint and yell dramatically, "But, Darling, I can't tell you now; there's too many people around," because then the kids on third floor would tear do\yn to make sure they didn't miss anything.

All in all I'd say a telephone is a wonderful thing — but has any-one got an extra one around — ? ? ? ? we sure could use it.

The Alpha Sigma Alpha girls

entertained at Ye Olde Warme Friend Friday night and a good time was had by all — save, of course, those few Freshman chil-dren who were unable to attend. But then, the Club Modele would suffer a beaucoup financial loss without their constant attendance so best the daily wake is contin-ued.

The baseball game with Aquinas was, to put it in terms of "wake" — a word employed in the preced-ing sentence and used to signify sorrow — quite sad. The visiting cheering section evidenced consid-erable more cheer than the Alma Mater group. Little Gertie offered her services to lead us in a few of the numbers but the stands just wouldn't cooperate. NOTE: This was to be a cheer led by Gert, not another of her famous vocal selec-tions.

One of the fatalities of the week-end was when D o n L a d a w i g dropped his notebook on his r ight toe. Result: He must wear a cast for six weeks which will give him a good excuse to come in late to classes. Incidentally, Don Scholten is quite "wrapped up" now tha t word has two meanings — and to explain the term fu r the r , he is wrapped up in more ways than one. Offhand, yours truly can think of three.

Kampus Kouples Keeping Kon-stant Kompany (K's are the result of the Klumpen dances and Dutch influence) are Grace Langley and Bill Geiger and Chuck Ploogsma and (You fill in the empty blank and send it to the editor. For the most correct answer the heroine of the sentence will award you with a monologue and three carrots.) For a few philosophical words, I suppose that we must all come to i t sometime, but WHEN is the most important question.

A t last Hope College has given rise to top-notch town ta lk with

that latest production sponsored by the Pallette and Masque organiza-tion. The last time I participated in one of those, the only rise we got was when the student body got up to leave. And they got in f ree! Anyway, orchids to the cast for one of the finest student perform-ances Holland has ever witnessed.

Lorraine Tempest reports that the fishing in Kollens Park is at its best of the season. Fishing off the pier is one of the most inter-esting, beneficial and enjoyable of evenings entertainments. Spring finds everyone gett ing out their lines. Huh?

May Day is next on the social calendar. Y'ou know tickets are limited. Of course, if you're voted queen you get in free. SorrjP, Bob Holleman, fellows can't participate in this race even if they are Jun-iors.

Dear Sinful Sal: My answer, my gal,

Is hardly cheerful.

So stick around

And youH get an earful .

If you can learn something

And still have such fun

You can stay there in college.

That privilege you've won.

On the other hand

If you but see

You will only flunk-out

And get naught but "E ,"

And get naught but "E."

My soundest advice

Is "s ta r t hitting the books"

And forget all about

Those secluded nooks.

If you can stay home

Every night, and read.

The worry of flunking

You'll no longer need.

Let all the profs know

That you are around

And for the classics

You're really a "hound."

Then the honor of staying

You really have won.

If you can't do it, dearie . . .

Still, have lots of fun!

Love,

D. D.

Dear Miss Dix: I 'm in a fix.

I 'm just eighteen

Giving college a t ry

And liking i t keen.

I get up fo r chapel

Almost every morning

And a t t empt to at tend

In heed of their warning.

I head f o r class

In a studious way

But meet a good friend

And spend the day

At the Model Drug

Sipping a ' o ier ley"

^ n d forget t ing about

My classes entirely.

I go home at night

To concentrate

But hear f rom my "man"

And stay out late.

Now what I would like

To know is this:

Can I s tay in school

And continue to miss

My chapel class

, .nd my others, t o o .

A.ie answer, Dorothy,

I leave up to you.

(Signed) Sinful Sal.

In May Day Speculation The flowers have blossomed out

in various assorted colors. The birds sing symphonies with a boo-gie beat. The sun shines brightly — for the April showers have past. No, this isn't wishful thinking — this is May.

May is the month of poets; May-is the month of romance; May precedes June brides. And in this month a young girl 's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of May Day. The day — the 24th. Wild speculation flourishes — who will be queen? Who will be on queen's court? Who will make Alcor? And this year the stakes are high.

As the co-eds of the Junior class make their daily tr ips to the Model they practice walking to the "Queen's M a r c h " — familiarly known as Pomp and Circumstance. One — together — two — together — da da da da duupt-y —. And on into the night.

The gals dress with more care, every day counts. High heels are now prevalent on the campus. Any day may be the voting day, and the co-eds don't want to take any chances. That extra smile is es-pecially for you — and I do mean you. I'm counting on that extra vote.

And don't think the stronger sex is entirely immune to these "go-ings-ons." They're really looking things over and we do mean things. Vigorous campaigning has started, for every fellow is certain "his gir l" will make it. "Her eyes are the bluest — her hair is the curl-iest and besides I like her best." Ah lover — yes, what is May Day without love? What is love with-out Hope? What is Hope without May Day. I t ' s just like going around in a circle.

Everybody's saying it — every-body's seeing it. Seeing what ? That the campus is back to normal. There's men again, girls. M e n spelled M-E-N. The Queen will have something to reign over. The

court will have something to court. And the men — we can't forget these men — they will have some-thing to look at . Reports have it that local stores have been sold out of white formals for weeks back.

And with the reconversion pro-gram in full swing we hope they have modernized to the point where this year 's Queen will have a court jester. All sorts of wild rumors fly around. Will it be Chuck Martin-dale — or will the honors be be-stowed upon Johnny Vander Broek ? We know he's going to be in May Day — and that position sounds quite logical.

Whether a jester or not may be a question, but fo r sure we will have the ever present daisy chain — made up of those cherubic look-ing freshmen. "Tell it to a Daisy," is no longer a good motto. Who knows what idea lurk in the minds of freshmen. But they're all quite bewildered in spite of the fac t that every day finds them swaying to the music of the aforementioned "Queen's March."

May I break in fo r a minute and give thanks and congratulations to those unsung heroes of any p a r t y ? Yes, the committee men. But then again they get back on us poor mortals when they find out the name of the queen — early in the week. They walk around with a grin like a Cheshire cat while we hurry and f re t .

While the poor junior gals — I can't quite forge t them. They worry fo r weeks in advance. If they don't get their honors — court or other-wise — they worry. If they will win the coveted honor — how will they act? How will they look? What will they s ay? You can't win.

Which brings us all right back where we s tar ted f rom. May Day. Spring is here. May has blos-somed out in full bloom. I t ' s May Day.

For Whom The Bells Toll We sat by the typewriter fo r

five straight hours seeking inspira-

and, eureka, it struck (pun, hon)!!

HOPE A M B A S S A D O R S 'Okinawa'

The Land Of The Lilliputs Bob Holleman

Very few people had ever heard of the isltnd of Okinawa until the

memorable Ist day in April, 1945, when the Army and the Marines

landed on this strategic island, only .'<50 miles from the southern shores

of Japan. Today we have all heard of the island and the exploits of

our sen-icemen there. However, the military phase has been very ade-

quately covered by the news correspondents so it is rather with other

things that this little article has to do.

The island is ringed with beautiful coral and surrounded with deep

blue water . The soil is a deep orange covered with sleepy pines which

continually rustle in the usually gentle breezes. Through the island

run many little s t reams and beautiful waterfal ls fu r ther beautifying the

landscape. Everything about the island is Lilliputian, the people, the

flora and fauna, and it reminds one of a chapter out of Gulliver's

Travels describing the land of the Lilliputs. The island would be a

perfect set t ing for a modern Robinson Crusoe since the recent tenants,

the Japanese, left several thousand miles of tunnels and caves through

^hich one can walk for mile a f te r mile. In fact, one can walk literally

through mountains. At present these caves are filled with mountains

of stores of ammunition and (juartermaster supplies.

The Okinawa native is a very short individual, probably not aver-

M M

aging five feet, and I have seen many young women, the mothers of

quite good sized children, who did not measure more than four feet

tall — or short, depending on which way you look at it. The people

are small but still they all seem to be very sturdy and the women

buxom. The following photo was taken prior to the war and is of a group of Okinawans.

Emotionally the people are similar to most Orientals in that they

are well integrated and as a rule phlegmatic. Statistics compiled by

the Army Medics have shown that only a few days a f te r the actual

fighting all semblances of neuropsychosis had disappeared from the

great majori ty . Many of the girls doing our laundry had been badly-

wounded. One particular girl comes to my mind, probably because she

was cute, anyway that seemed to be the concensus of opinion. In the

limited talk in which we were able to engage the subject of Japanese

brutality arose. As an answer she pulled up her dress and showed us

where three .50 caliber slugs had ripped through her thighs. However,

she did not seem to be bitter toward the Americans as she told us

of the time she had spent in an American hospital and how thrilling it all seemed to her.

Community life centers around the home, which is usually just a

mud hut or a small brick building. Around each home is a grove of

trees and they are not there for reasons aesthetic but for reasons of

necessity, since this isle is subject to some of the most violent hurri-

canes experienced in the world. On the IGth of September, last year,

the island was swept by one of over 150 mph in intensity. In each com-

munity there is the community bath where members of both sexes bathe

in water so hot we could not stand to put our little toe into it. Lest

you think the women immodest, let me tell you a t rue incident. One

of the fellows had some pictures of some bathing beauties — no use

incriminating myself — and when we showed these pictures to the girls

who washed the squadron's laundry they were of the unanimous opinion

that American girls were extremely immodest to run around the

beaches clad so immodestly.

The method of burying their dead is bizarre and interesting. The

dead are placed in the family vault, which is beneath the tomb. The

tomb is shaped like a large horseshoe placed at a 30-degree angle and

then raised three to four feet above the surrounding ground. The

wealth of the family usually decides the size of the tomb. The deceased

is left for a period of seven years and then a young virgin girl of

twelve years of age gathers all the bones and places them in an urn,

which is labeled and placed on a ledge in the vault.

As to the outlook for the island since coming under American con-

trol, it will be a safe bet that what cost the United States 22,000 lives

will not be given away soon. The Okinawan in any case will never again

be the same. Their desires have been awakened for the many things

that the white man has and which they have never possessed. Old

Okinawa is dead and what the fu ture holds has yet to be faced.

Work To Stop The Next War Now After the 1914-18 conflict, we were given a chance over the years

to 1939. That big opportunity we did not fully appreciate, and we

had the unfortunate picture of Russian revolution, impossible repara-

tions from European countries, American isolationism, troubles with

Japan and Manchuria, and the unholy ambitions of Mussolini and

Hitler, and then the greatest war of all time.

Now the world is presented with a new opportunity as well as a

multitude of problems. The place of Russia demands special considera-

tion and more patience than many people are inclined to give. China

and India have awakened to a new sense of national consciousness. The

Middle East needs careful understanding, and sick, desolated Europe

must be helped. The only way likely to prevent catastrophe is the United Nations Organization.

What of the League of Nat ions? It failed because the United

States refused to join, Russia was excluded, and France had a fear

complex. In Germany there was ruin of the middle class, and the

nation was heading for revolution. In desperation the youth of Ger-

many turned to Hitler and War. In Britain the people believed in the

League and disarmament but the Government was divided and weak.

Behind all these factors there was in all countries a big decline in

moral and spiritual values, and a failure of the will to peace, and so

there came six years of war and the atomic bomb.

What is our pa r t ? How can we be active for peace? 1 suggest

that we shall inform ourselves and our neighbors and friends of the

U.N.O. and its doings — that we study it and its problems in discussion

groups, forums, and in our homes, and that we inform our political

leaders that party interest should not bind us to the fact that on the

supreme issue of the U.N.O. America is one, solidly behind the organ-

ization, determined and sincere in the desire to bring success and avoic

war, and that we are prepared to bear the cost for real peace. Finally

as Christians, we must be vitally concerned and work and pray to

conquer the sin and sorrow of this war-torn world.

We like to feel that "Hope Ambassadors" is a step in the direction

of peace and that the authors of our articles are making a contribution

by giving us a better understanding of the countries they have visited.

Also, it is felt that the newly organized Foreign Relations Club, under

the sponsorship of MISS ROSS, will fill a definite need on the campus.

We, as citizens of tomorrow, must avoid the pitfall of the 1920s and

30s when each nation insisted on putting its immediate interest ahead

of those of the world as a whole.

We are pleased to have articles in this week's issue contributed by

HOB HOLLEMAN, RUSS HORTON, and BOB PONTIER. The islands

treated are all small in size when considered in relation to our own

United states but still each one represents a problem of the future .

What will we do with Okinawa? What will be our relation with the

Philippine Islands when they finally gain their independence this year?

What will be Great Britain's policy toward her subject peoples? The

answers to these questions may well have a direct bearing on the peace of the world of tomorrow.

A Marine In The Solomons Russell E. Horton

As most of us know, the Solomon Islands lie to the south and east of New Guinea. Some of the main islands are Guadalcanal, Florida, Tulagi, Rendova, New Georgia, and Bougainville. However, in this group there are more than 100,000 islands and islets. All are British mandated islands governed by an appointed governor-general, a white official, who is in supreme command. The local governments are headed by chosen black native men.

There are many volcanic eruptions, and many of the islets have risen f rom the sea as a result. Consequently, the shores of many of these islets drop abruptly into deep watei, making good natural harbors for sea-going vessels. The United States Navy put these natural harbors to good use during this past conflict. Some very fine steel docks

Samar

One Of 7,000 Philippine Islands Bob L. Pontier

Having heard numerous tales about the Philippine Islands while on

Bougainville Island, 1 was naturally pleased to hear that we were

"P. I. Bound." En route we touched Manus Island, in the Admiralty

Island Group, and then headed west for Samar, a small island just east

of Leyte Island. Samar is a very picturesque and beautiful sight from

the air but once you have settled on this coral island (commonly known

as a "a rock") disappointment creeps in, for the beautiful view from

the air is nothing more than sun shining against coral with the blue

of the Pacific as a background.

The small and dark skinned Filipino usually speaks enough English

to make trading possible and profitable to the American marine. The

peso or Philippine dollar is seldom used in trading because the Filipino

wants clothing and the American serviceman wants souvenirs. The

people of Samar were in a bad way due to Japanese occupation and,

also, this is the poorest section of the Philippine Islands. The worn-out

shoes and other clothing we were able to give them were greatly appre-

ciated. The Filipino is a grateful individual and will do all in his power

to show his gratitude so it was the habit of the average G.I. to shower

were built and many of our largest vessels were tied to them during the course of the war. Some of the islands, however, do slide gradually into the sea and are ringed by coral reefs, making anchorage facilities very poor.

The humidity is very high and the temperature almost constantly exceeds 100 degrees. The islands boast many cool, clear, crystal streams which are free from alligators and reptiles, but there are crocodiles and many land crabs. It is not an uncommon experience to reach for your shoes in the morning only to find them occupied by rodents or land crabs.

We found it a wise policy to take our ponchos with us when going to an evening, outdoor movie. Rain during a movie seems to be the rule rather than the exception. The annual rainfall usually measures about thirteen and one-half feet — a lot of water in any man's language. Mud always abounds in the jungles, but where the soil is exposed to the rays of the sun, it soon becomes dry and dusty.

Pavuvu, a small islet just off Guadalcanal served as a rest camp for the unit of which I was a member, f rom June to September 1944 and again f rom December 1944 to February 1945. There were just a few natives on this island and thev

one family with gi f ts , and in return he would receive any favor within

reason f rom his adopted family.

The initial impression of many Americans was one of disappoint-

ment where "our little brown brothers" were concerned. They appeared

dirty and shiftless but on closer observation and continued relations

we found their homes to be spotless, if plain, and the people to be

friendly and cooperative. I recall one Filipino who was puxiled because

Contioued on Pi^e 4

were brought in as laborers. They were adept a t building storage houses, modeled a f t e r their own thatched homes, only on a much larger scale. We occasionally traded with the natives, a knife for a grass skirt or other trinket.

A great part of the Solomons is leased by the Palmolive-Peet Company and we, here in the United States, secure our cocoanut oil and bamboo supply from them. We also receive part of our nickel supply from this island, but it is a ra ther limited supply since most of this metal is obtained from New Caledonia.

The natives generally speak English and are not as wild and vicious as many people are prone to believe. Many New Zealand and Australian missionaries have labored diligently with these black people and the natives have become quite civilized. Many stories have come to us telling of their help-ing our troops and fliers who were shot down as well as survivors f rom wrecked ships in this recent conflict.

The native wears very few clothes and is very dark from the sun. It is quite a common sight to see many of these dark men with red hair. This is due to many hours in the blazing sun. The majority worked on the cocoanut planta-tions before the war and many were employed by our own government during the war, building thatched storage places, digging drainage ditches and in other ways furthering the war effort. Many believe that the campaign for the Solomon Islands would have cost us much more had it not been for the help given us by these people. Therefore, we owe a good deal to the black man of the Solomons and to the missionaries who did so much to change them from wild head-hunters to civilized people.

It is, however, an education on how people are fighting to establ ish

America is f a r g r e a t e r than the world 's riches. For though each island

in the Philippines is like a separa te country , each hav ing i ts own

customs and ideals, they unite in war and peace and all love America

and the principles fo r which America s tands .

Until we can close the t remendous gap between the Philippines

and the o the r countr ies of the world, politically and economically, I

am sure tha t the common, ordinary citizen of the Phil ippine Islands is

proud to have Amer ica watch over them.

ESSENCE ON BEING The learned theologian says In his dogmatic lecture, "Love God and you will be happy ."

But I say, " "Love man.

Even though it makes you sad And agonizes you with pain When you experience what he s u f f e r s As lovers of men do. Love man,

And you will become as God, T ry ing to make men beaut i fu l . But fo rg iv ing them when they f a l l And unwor thy themselves of love. And blame and criticize you For your e f fo r t s . Love man. And you will l ea rn

Hope College Anchor

University Grants Atkins Mathematics Scholarship

State College Scholarships at the University of Michigan

ai e granted annually to a member of the senior class of each

of the colleges in the state. The candidate is recommendec

by the faculty of the college on March fifteenth and is con-

firmed by the dean of the University about the middle of April.

Mihh Atkinn has been a superior

student during her four years at

Hope College. She plans to do her

graduate work in the field of math-

ematics, which also was her major

at Hope College.

Hope College enjoys an enviable

reputation a t a large number of

graduate schools. Almost every de-

par tment of the college has ob-

tained scholarships or assistant-

ships for their superior students in

the past. This is especially true of

the division of Science and Mathe-

matics.

Many Hope graduates are listed

in '"American Men of Science." Two

hundred and fifty-six scientists

were recently starred, by a secret

vote of their fellow scientists, in

the seventh edition of "American

Men of Science." Two of these

men were Hope graduates. Dr. Paul

J . Visscher of the class of 1917,

zoology, and his brother, Dr. Mau-

rice B. Visscher, of the class of 1922, physiology.

Library to Feature Tulip Time Display

The attractive library displays seen in Graves Library this semes-ter have created much enthusiasm among the college students and outsiders.

The present Spring display is made up of new oustanding novels. This is the best way to acquaint students with new fiction material added to the library. A few weeks ago much attention was attracted by the collection of old Bibles ant again by the display of attractively arranged material for appropriate Lenten readings. The Hungarian Relief Drive has received much publicity by the picturesque pam-phlets and books illustrating Hun-garian life.

Miss Vorhes, director of the work, promises an interesting, col-orful collection of material illus-trat ing and explaining Tulip Time. Future displays will consist of ma-terial on current problems and a collection of various Hope gradua-tion announcements.

from Holland and Christian High

Schools and the college will pre-

sent a program of choral music.

The Glee Club will also participate.

Arthur Poister, professor of organ,

the guest art ist . Mr. Poister is a

brilliant organist and has per-

formed at many concerts. Let's see all of you there tonight.

Musical Arts Club will wind up the year's activities with a beach party for its May meeting. The club has introduced some new ac-tivities this year which they plan to continue next year. Among these is the sponsoring of tr ips to con-certs in Grand Rapids, which has proved quite popular this year.

Glee Club continues its engage-ments singing around Holland each week. It has already appeared at 1st, 3rd, and Hope churches.

A "let 's - hash - this - trip - over party will be held at Auntie Es-ther's before May has flown by, and then more of the same — sing-ing — until the home concert in June. Ah! 'tis been a busy year!

Aquinas Defeats Hope, 2 - 0

In Close Baseball Contest Bill Brown Pifches Brilliant Ball Game; Allows Three Hits from Winning Teams

On Tuesday, May 7, 1946, Hope

College's baseball nine were handed

a close 2-0 defeat by Aquinas Col-

lege of Grand Rapids. The contest,

witnessed by a fair ly good sized

crowd, was played at Riverview

Park.

The sharp-breaking curve ball of

Don Doran kept the Hollanders guessing. He allowed five scattered hits in the seven-inning tilt. Dick Van Doren, Hope's second base-man, collected two of the five, one of them a line drive double f a r into r ight-center field.

Bill Brown, Dutch twirler, al-lowed only three hits in turning in a brilliant pitching job. Poor field-ing was resulted by 2 runs for the Catholic college.

In the first inning Don Mulder, shortstop, connected with one of Doran's curve balls and sent it blazing into left field. The lef t fielder let the ball go past him in an a t t empt of a shoe-string catch. Mulder was out t ry ing to stretch this double into a triple which was one of the outs tanding fielding plays of the game.

Kazoo Wins Tennis Tourney

Although the score proves other-wise, the Hope College tennis team turned in some beautiful play against Kalamazoo College. The final score was Kazoo 7, Hope 0. The Dutchmen failed to take a match, but were playing some of the top tennis players in the s ta te and in the country.

A small group of s tudents saw "Gabby" Van Dis battle Eric Pra t t , an impressive Kazoo boy. Pra t t ' s strokes were beautiful , both back hand and forehand. At one time in the match, Van Dis took ten s t ra ight points. This is no small job agains t a man who defeated the Big Ten champion from Ohio State, as did Pra t t .

Jack Tirrell and Gene Barendse, Hope's number one doubles team, gave Pra t t and Bud Thompson a tough time, but lost, 6-2, 6-3. This was the closest the Hopeites came to victory.

Summary : Singles — Pra t t , Kalamazoo, de-

feated Van Dis, Holland, 6-0, 6-3; Leighten, K, defeated Holman, H., 6-2, 6-2; Bersky, K., defeated Tir-rell, H., 6-1, 6-1; Schoop, K., de-feated Post, H., 6-1, 6-1.

IN . . . . DIGESTION By Elaine Bielefeld

Idle workers, idle railroads, idle coal mines, — pu t t ing the nation

in all kinds of danger , the result of the feud between coal miners and

mine operators. The 40-day plus coal s t r ike is still unset t led and

President T ruman is a t tempt ing to negotiate a plan whereby this

horrible situation may terminate . A surprise act of John L. Lewis

was in the form of the order f o r all miners to r e tu rn to work fo r a

two-week period. This order was given as a contribution to our nat ion 's

economy, he said, and was conditioned by requesting mine opera tors to

pay any wage increase tha t is decided upon. Upon continuance of the

coal strike and in view of the oncoming railroad str ike set f o r May 18

President Truman is a t present s tudying the railroad s i tuat ion and a

plan fo r seizure of ra i lways to remove additional t h r ea t s to our nat ion 's

economy.

Current local news dr i f ted f rom Tulip Time to the local walk-out

of city employees last week. Holland's s tr ike threatened to change the

mode of living in the city but was settled before any th ing drast ic

occurred. Workers have agreed to comply to the action of the mediation

board arranged by Governor Kelly.

And so we are once more a t t r ac ted by Dutch costumes, tulip f a rms ,

thousands of visitors thronging Main street , and forge t the rest of the

world for a bit of t ime. May-time is Tulip Time in Holland!!!

Fou

I heard amrther groan And fel t quite all alone As my intestine gave a moan. I t was Fourth Hour.

I tried a new finesse And bent over in distress, But it murmured none the less. I t was Fourth Hour.

I took a little turn And thought no one would discern. But she gave a mighty churn. It was Fourth Hour.

I fel t quite mortified And wished tha t I had died As my stomach loudly cried. I t was Fourth Hour.

I did not feel well And sweat profusely 'til "At last, there goes the bell!" That ends Four th Hour.

The Written Word Your fea tu re editor had a chat

with yours t ru ly the other day about f i a t u r e ar t ic les (nach!) . She said something about how she shows her dandy little art icles to her twin (one egg) sis and if the article draws three weak " t i the rs , " i t 's in. Of course, the relat ive is bound to be prejudiced to the ex-tent of at least one " t i the r , " so we may conclude tha t the article is worth one, or two at the very most, laughs . . . which really isn ' t so bad considering tha t we ' re ama-teurs at best! Anways, it made us think of how we judge our own articles. And so we'll let you kid-dies in on the workings of a great editorial mind.

Of course, we always read them over and laugh so long tha t we cough-up buckets of flem and have a stomach-ache for weeks a f t e r -wards. And then, a f t e r we settle back to normal, we let "Roomie" read. He "ga f f aws" a li t t le and maybe says, "Oh, t ha t ' s tarr - i f f - ic!" or "That ' s guud" (like mint de-light ice cream). And we read it over again and laugh some more, then call the girl f r iend ( this par t is purely hypothetical) and she " t i t he r s " and says, "Honey, you're sooo darned clever!"

We agree! The twin s is ter ' s twin sister ge ts it and it "goes to press" jus t like in "Big Town" and you lucky children ALL ge t to read i t!!
