•••'••" W - i Volume LIH Fifty-third Year of PuUication Hope College, Holland, Mich., September 20 ,1939 Number 1 HOPE COLLEGE OPENS AS I SEE IT BY • THE EDITOR It is with mixed emotions that we take up this school year. Cer- taininp there is great joy as we plan The Anchor's course and think of the possibilities for service through it But, also, there is trembling at the size of the task and, with this, a realization lhat we m.'ed the sympathetL* cjopera- ticn of ALL the college. Every year of publication sees j the rise of new ideas and efforts which are the concern of The An- chor. Last year's problems gave rise to certain disjunctions which were altogether justifiable and yet which had merits of truth on both sides. But even through those dif- ficulties came a better understand- ing among staff, faculty and ad- ministration. We shall profit by all these. And our primary desire this year as always, shall be to maintain and foster a oneness of understanding among student, fac- ulty and administration. Second only to the aim of a uni- fied college will be that of a unified student body. Transcending soci- ety loyalty should b(» our college loyalty. Factionalism destroys the spirit, common loyalty builds it. We pledge ourselves to the support of every move contributing to the higher campus brotherhood. The gravity of the European sit- uation impels us this year to a wider range of editorializing. It is the least we can do, as represen- tatives of an institution founded on ^ Christian view, to lend our voice to the greater body, the world over, who want peace. In line with this our duty, today's editorial proposes a concrete meth- od of action as the crisis affects Hope students. In our capacity as voice of the college we will strive to give prop- er space to every phase of campus life. If at any time some event or idea is slighted, a real service will be done the school in informing us. There is a particular side of life which we plan to emphasize more prominently, that is, class room news and curricular events. In I this regard all may consider them- j selves Anchor reporters, as fifteen staff members cannot know fiist hand what happens in all class- rooms. Staff losses by graduation leave 1 The Anchor undermanned this year. With the exception of one key position, no staff has yet been choeen, the idea being to extend equal opportunity to all applicants. We are anxious that every stu- dent, new and old, who is interest- ed in newspaper work, apply for staff service this year. We are aware of much journalistic talent on the campus and sincerely hope that the first Anchor meeting next week will see the attendance of all these people. The editor is moved to express deep awareness of his responsibili- ty to the students, faculty, admin- istration for the ultimate upbuild- ing of the college. Thus is pledg- ed conscientious assumption of ed- itorial responsibility. Fair, truth- ful, understanding treatment of our Common interests is sincerely promised. Drive For College Science Building Begins Here Administration Sees End of Great Need On Hope's Campus Speech Prof Bible Prof. For the past week the city of Holland has been canvassed with great success in the opening of a drive for funds for a new $250,000 science building for the college. Al- though final returns are not as yet complete on the solicitation of Hol- land, it is hoped that one-fifth of the total amount will be received here. Following the conclusion of the local drive, other communities of the Reformed church, and those in- terested in Hope college, will be reached in an endeavor to complete the necessary fund for the building of a thoroughly modem and com- pletely equipped science building for the school. Construction of the building will begin as soon as suf- ficient funds are collected to war- rant it, college authorities stated last week. Completion of the drive is expected to come within two years, with the subscription of the entire cost of the new building. The need for a science building has been great on the campus for many years. Although the college has made an enviable record in its science department, having edu- cated a number of well known and outstanding men in the various fields of science, and having given pre-medical education to many doc- tors, the department has been han- dicapped because'i^f limited space and equipment, md has had to limit its production considerably. Every year the science depart- ment of Hope college places its better graduates in fellowships, assistantships and scholarships awarded by the best universities of the country. With a science building in which to work, this de- partment will undoubtedly attain even a greater record than has been achieved in the past under conditions in which it was limited to a building designed for ordinary classrooms, and not particularly adapted to the teaching of science, it was pointed out during the local drive last week. Literature distributed to publi- cize the drive for the new building points out that the only buildings on the campus built after the Great War are the Memorial chapel and the high school building. The aver- age age of the nine buildings on the campus is 43 years. This is an indication that the college has been built up by an earlier generation, we are reminded, and that to main- tain the college, the buildings, and the campus in general, must be re- newed periodically. Progress in the material value of the institution must keep pace with the increased curriculum. PROF. WM. SCHRIER Si=v a /so j?' 3 Prof. Schrier Fills Vacancy In Hope Speech Faculty PROF. HENRY BAST icj ii'sc ^ 3 Bast Assumes Duties As Pastor Pi of. William Schrier, former as- sociate professor of speech at the University of North Dakota at Grand Fork, today became profes- sor of speech, replacing Dr. Hol- land Shackson, whose untimely death shocked Hopeites last sum- mer. Prof. Schrier spent two of his undergraduate years at each Kala- mazoo college and the University of Michigan, receiving hi? ^ degree from the latter institution. He received his M.A. degree ^rom the University of Michigan and has also done work toward a Ph.D. at that school. While an undergraduate he was particularly active in forensic ac- tivities, and was a member of both PiKappa Delta and DeltaSigmaRho national honorary forensic frater- nities. At the university he was recognized as one of the best stu- dent debaters produced by the school. Since starting to teach. Prof. Schrier has been active in estab- lishing chapters of Pi Kappa Delta. He has had 19 articles published in national speech magazines, and is in great demand as a dinner and club speaker. 4AAAAAAAAAAAi AAAA 4 4 A 1 4 4 ' REGISTRATION Approximately .100 student will comprise the student body this year, it was announced by Paul Brouwer, assistant to t.he president. The freshman class is composed of approximately 165 students, he r.tated, in the ratio of one coed for every two men. The Rev. Henry Bast, former pastor of the Richmond Reformed church of Grand Rapids, took over the duties of college pastor and professor of Bible with the opening of school today, replacing Dr. Leo- nard De Moor and the Rev. W. J. Hilmert, who shared the respon- sibilities of this position in a tem- porary arrangement last year. The Rev. Paul E. Hinkamp, who served as college pastor for a number of years, will teach several courses in religious education this term. Rev. Bast is a Hope graduate, '30. and did graduate work at Theological seminary, con- nected with Columbia university. He»e he received his Th. B. degree. Since being installed as a Reformed church clergyman, he has been par- ticularly active in the youth work of the church, and regularly attends and assists at Y.Bjl.C.A. and other youth conferences. He was a leader at the Westminster lodge youths' conference last summer. The Late Dr. Shackson At Long Last Our Student Commons One week from today the com- mons room will be open for all stu- dents. What is the commons room ? It is sort of a recieation room con- taining ping pong and card tables, magazines and davenports — in short, it is a room where you can gather with your friends, talk without being "shusshed" and en- joy yourself in general. Wheie is the commons room? It is located on the second floor of the Education building at the head of the stairs. Why is the commons room ? Be- cause a group of students last year felt the need of such a gathering place and put on a campaign to raise money for the room. The room has been financed by the stu- dent body through contributions, and through the Women's League of the Particular Synod of Chica- go. Discipline will be handled by a board of students appointed for this purpose by the student council. Appointment has not been made as yet but will be made in the near future, undoubtedly before the room opens. Why, then, is there a delay in opening the room? This can best be explained when one takes into consideration the fact that this is a student project and that the stu- dents were unable to be in town working on he room during the summer months. At present we are waiting for the ping pong ta- bles to be finished. The color scheme of the room is done in white, maroon and blue. Furniture is made of maple and the color scheme is carried out in the leather upholstery. Formerly stained dark wood surrounding the bottom of the room has been painted white, the walls are a cream color and the ceiling is ma- roon. Drapes are done in a leaf pattern with a blue background. Valences match the walls and the Venetian blinds are done in cream color. The magazines will be ar- ranged on a low, large, round table and in conveniently placed maga- zine racks. There are plenty of wall sockets and lamps. College Officially Opens At 9 A. M. Convocation Freshmen, Others, Active During Registration; Classes Thursday Convocation at nine this morning begins another year of campus ac- tivity with the Rev. A. Karreman, pastor of the Bethel Reformed church of Grand Rapids, as the guest speaker. Registration is al- ready well under way, and will he completed by Friday, it is hoped by the administration. Returning stu- • dents will run through class sched-- ules Thursday, while freshmen will not enter their routine until Friday. Following convocation, at 10:30, and again at 2 o'clock, new stu- dents on the campus will write en- trance examinations, while at 4 p. m. the freshmen will be entertained by the joint Y's with their tradi- tional welcoming party at Ottawa beach. On Thursday classes will begin for returning students, and fresh- men will meet in an assembly at 8:30. In the evening, the freshmen- women will be entertained in Voor- hees hall with a tea, while the men are entertained at a party given by the inter-fraternity c o u n c i l . Freshmen will meet their classes for the first time Friday, when they run through their routine briefly. The week-end will get under way officially when the lights go on at Riverview park for the first foot- ball game of the year as Hope meets Ferris. Churches of the cifcy of Holland will open their doors on Sunday morning to welcome the students on their return to school. Hope students are always active in local church affairs. Class periods will be of full length Monday for all students. The Y's will begin their annual program of meeting Tuesday at 7 p. m. Summer Finds Profs Teaching and Taught Profs. Garrett Vander Borgh, Paul Brouwer, Edward Wolters and Albert H. Timmer, spent five weeks of the summer attending the Uni- versity of Chicago workshop course. The group studied the general edu- cation cooperative study plan tehich is sponsored by the Carnegie foun- dation. Several professors taught during the summer. Among them are Prof. Kenneth Osborne, St. Lawrence University at Centon, N. Y.; Prof. Clarence De Graaf, Marquette Nor- mal college; Dr. Bruce M. Ray- mond, Central State Teachers col- lege. Traveling Student Body Returns With The Memories of Summer Another summer is passed and another winter begun and what do we have left but memories of what has gone before. Many of the Hopeites managed to go places and do things and many of them just did things. Like A1 Van Dyke f'instance who got himself elected to travel to Europe as a represen- tative for Christian Endeavor where he visited the mother coun- try of Holland. What with a war being cooked up at the time—he no doubt is happy to be back to the peaceful bounds of Hope. Bob Powers, captain of the var- sity football team and a native of Michigan, traveled to his new home of California where he managed to loll in the sun and beam at the California loveliest except when it rained of course. Bill Boot, back after a year at the University of Nebraska, is now again within our bounds. But what of the girls well, Margaret Bilkert, one of our cute drum majors greeted her mother in New York—you know she had been on missionary duty in Arabia —and then spent the remainder of the summer in the east. Some of our girls worked—ac- tually worked after a year of play here—Rose Teninga and Virginia Ellison were at Harbor Point, and Althea Raffenaud at Whitehall, Michigan. Dean Dykstra spent two months in Maine, in the meantime travel- ing by boat to the New York World's Fair. Oh dear, after all the oh's and ah's exclaimed by everyone to everyone else, all you old and new girls and old fellows and new fel- lows certainly should know what everyone has done this past vaca- tion. For further , information about your friends please see them—and say hello for me, huh? Dr. Shackson's Death July 12, Shocks Student Body A cloud of sorrow covers the joyous campus activities of regis- tration as returning students rec- ognize the full significance of the fact that "Doc"—friend and prof- essor, is no longer a member of the faculty. During the four years spent with the college. Dr. Shackson produced a series of outstanding teams in debate and individuals in oratory and extemporaneous speaking. Last year, assisted by his dramatics class, he re-established the Little Theatre on the campus. Although limited financially, the class built its own stage in the commons room, and, upon its completion, produced two plays per week on it. Increased interest in debate was stimulated by Dr. Shackson by means of an enlarged schedule of debates both at home and afield. In addition to an invitational meet here, the teams usually attended the Michigan Intercollegiate Speech League tournament and the Con- ference of the Lakes tournament. High school debating was also en- couraged with meets sponsored and judged by the college men. Attendance at the national Pi Kappa Delta conference at Topeka, Kan., in 1938, was one of the high- lights of Dr. Shackson's career Thirty-two Get Teaching Jobs Thirty-two members of the Hope class of '38 have received teaching positions for this year. The teach- ers and their addresses are as fol- lows: Margaret Allen, Lowell; Paul Boyink, Whitehall; Gertrude Dame, Byron Center; Lydia De Vries, Pallerville; Angeline Dombos, Zee- land; Beatrice Fairbanks, Van Raalte school, Holland; Cornelia Gorter, Lakeview, Holland; Mildred Kirk wood, Lee high.

Grand Rapids; Charles Waldo, Zeeland; Gertrude Young, Hartford; Nelva Zandber- gen, Sparta. In addition, the office announced that Robert Marcus, '39, is being employed by a large Detroit church as athletic director, and that Peter Veltman and Barbara Lampen, '38, have accepted teaching positions with the Chicago Christian High school. New Heating Plant Installed During Summer Months Two boilers and a tunnel extend- ing to the president's home and Voorhees hall foim the nucleus of what will eventualy be a central heating plant on Hope's campus. The boilers, which are coal burning, and are equipped with stokers, have been installed in the base- ment of Grave's Hall. The only outward evidence of the change is a ten-foot addition t the chimney of Grave's Hall, and this addition has been cleverly built to make it unnoticeable. The tunnel running from Grave's Hall is large enough for a man to walk erect in it. At the branch to Voor- hees Hall and the president's home, it becomes much smaller, but is still passable. Within the tunnels the heating pipes are laid. Work on the new plant was done by Dam- stra Bros, of Holland. Concert Course Opens Here On October 18 The fifth annual concert course of the Holland Choral Union will open in Hope Memorial chapel on Oct. 18 with the presentation of Virgillio Lazzeri, b a s s o of the Metropolitan Opera company, and Olga Trevisan, soprano. Handel's "Messiah," which is presented annually by the union, with the assistance of the Hope college chapel choir, local church musicians, and four soloists from other cities, will be given Dec. 19. The Little Symphony orchestra of the University of Michigan will present the third number on Jan. 17. The orchestra is composed of graduate students and faculty mem- bers of the university. The forty men and women composing the famous Westminster chorus will give a sacred and classical program on Feb, 21. .

At Long Last Our Student Commons

One week f rom today the com-

What is the commons room ? It

is sor t of a recieation room con-

taining ping pong and card tables, magazines and davenports — in short, it is a room where you can ga ther with your friends, talk without being "shusshed" and en-joy yourself in general.

Wheie is the commons room? It is located on the second floor of the Education building at the head of the stairs.

Traveling Student Body Returns With The Memories of Summer

Another summer is passed and another winter begun and what do we have left but memories of what has gone before. Many of the Hopeites managed to go places and do things and many of them just did things. Like A1 Van Dyke f ' instance who got himself elected to travel to Europe as a represen-tative for Christian Endeavor where he visited the mother coun-try of Holland. What with a war being cooked up at the time—he no doubt is happy to be back to the peaceful bounds of Hope.

Bob Powers, captain of the var -si ty football team and a native of Michigan, traveled to his new home of California where he managed to loll in the sun and beam a t the California loveliest — except when it rained of course.

Bill Boot, back a f t e r a year a t the University of Nebraska, is now again within our bounds.

But what of the girls — well,

Margaret Bilkert, one of our cute drum majors greeted her mother in New York—you know she had been on missionary duty in Arabia —and then spent the remainder of the summer in the east .

Some of our girls worked—ac-tually worked a f t e r a year of play here—Rose Teninga and Virginia Ellison were at Harbor Point, and Althea Raffenaud at Whitehall, Michigan.

Dean Dyks t ra spent two months in Maine, in the meantime travel-ing by boat to t h e New York World's Fai r .

Oh dear, a f t e r all the oh's and ah's exclaimed by everyone to everyone else, all you old and new girls and old fellows and new fel-lows certainly should know what everyone has done this pas t vaca-tion. For fu r the r , information about your f r iends — please see them—and say hello fo r me, huh?

Dr. Shackson's Death July 12, Shocks Student Body

A cloud of sorrow covers the joyous campus activities of regis-tration as returning students rec-ognize the full significance of the fact tha t "Doc"—friend and prof-essor, is no longer a member of the faculty.

During the four years spent with the college. Dr. Shackson produced a series of outstanding teams in debate and individuals in oratory and extemporaneous speaking. Last year, assisted by his dramatics class, he re-established the Little Theatre on the campus. Although limited financially, the class built its own s tage in the commons room, and, upon its completion, produced two plays per week on it.

Increased interest in debate was stimulated by Dr. Shackson by means of an enlarged schedule of debates both a t home and afield. In addition to an invitational meet here, the teams usually attended the Michigan Intercollegiate Speech League tournament and the Con-ference of the Lakes tournament. High school debating was also en-couraged with meets sponsored and judged by the college men.

Attendance a t the national Pi Kappa Delta conference a t Topeka, Kan., in 1938, was one of the high-lights of Dr. Shackson's career

Two boilers and a tunnel extend-ing to the president 's home and Voorhees hall foim the nucleus of what will eventualy be a central heating plant on Hope's campus. The boilers, which are coal burning, and are equipped with stokers, have been installed in the base-ment of Grave's Hall.

The only outward evidence of the change is a ten-foot addition t the chimney of Grave's Hall, and this addition has been cleverly built to make it unnoticeable. The tunnel running from Grave's Hall is large enough for a man to walk erect in it. A t the branch to Voor-hees Hall and the president 's home, it becomes much smaller, but is still passable. Within the tunnels the heating pipes are laid. Work on the new plant was done by Dam-st ra Bros, of Holland.

Concert Course Opens Here On October 18

The fifth annual concert course of the Holland Choral Union will open in Hope Memorial chapel on Oct. 18 with the presentation of Virgillio Lazzeri, b a s s o of the Metropolitan Opera company, and Olga Trevisan, soprano.

Handel's "Messiah," which is presented annually by the union, with the assistance of the Hope college chapel choir, local church musicians, and fou r soloists f rom other cities, will be given Dec. 19.

The Lit t le Symphony orchestra of the University of Michigan will present the th i rd number on J an . 17. The orchestra is composed of graduate s tudents and facul ty mem-bers of the university. The fo r ty men and women composing the famous Westminster chorus will give a sacred and classical program on Feb, 21.

Living Memory The sudden depar ture of our speech professor, Dr.

Rolland Shackson, was almost unbelievable to those of us who knew him. His energetic enthusiasm was pour-ed into the college both in curr icular and extracurricu-lar Vork. And everyone recognized his g rea t capabil-ities and immeasurable help.

The editor cannot re f ra in f rom adding a personal note, having been close to "Doc", as we affectionately knew him, tor two years in speech work. F a r into the night, long before debate tournaments , he of ten worked to get th ings r eady : material, programs, t ranspor ta-tion ar rangements . Sometimes we failed to recognize these things in him, but, now we more fully realize tha t what he gave was of himself. Often we would say,' "Doc, you must get some rest ." And each time the same reply, "I can't , there is so must to be done."

So much to be done! Yes, he was always doing; and the memory of his indefatigable selflessness will be ever with us.

Greetings Frosh! It is with the warmest of welcomes tha t we greet one

hundred and sixty first-year students today. Coming f rom many different communities, representative of widely dif-fe rent beliefs, and desirous of varied benefits f rom their stay here, all will find certain bonds of common interest.

Old s tudents will test ify that our most universal union is the worship of our common Lord. Though sometimes in disagreement with the forms into which Hope casts the Christian die, all of us, in moments of honest reflection, will recognize with thankfulness the oneness we feel in this deyotion and the character-building influence of Hope's Christian stand.

We hope the freshmen will soon feel the pervading friendliness which is another of our bonds. Perforce, school's opening keeps even seniors busy with their own af-f a i r s for a while; and yet the rushing activities of the so-cieties will serve to make them feel at home until the de-tails of registrat ion are through.

Old s tudents have gone through the same t rying first weeks. Their experiences prove that the best ways to rid "lost" feelings is to enter, wholeheartedly, into the college parties, the football games, the campus organizations, the society functions, the chapel services. And most of all, into cilrriculum work, which is more important to a student 's f u tu re than all the aforementioned. Once more, welcome!

Let Us Have Peace It is with the deepest anxiety tha t we view the fires of

war on the Continent. We are anxious lest a spark ignite our land and draw us into the great conflagration.

All of us want peace. It is imperative tha t we do something to give America, and the world, peace-insurance. Nothing can be done by us until we are reasonably sure in our own minds of the course to follow. The problem of clarifying our thoughts on the action we should take has brought to our minds the idea of what we shall call a Peace Forum. In such a s tudent group discussion we could profit-ably discuss the best methods of insuring peace and the stand that peace-lovers should take.

The Peace Forum's first meeting, sponsored by The Anchor, could be held within the next few weeks, several students being asked to give short talks, productive of dis-cussion among the leaders, later among all the group. In this way those seriously interested in world peace could find help and confidence. In these days, even T H I N K I N G peace and WILLING to keep us out of war keeps our spiri ts and those around us sensitive to the real issues by dispassionate and reasonable at t i tudes.

Your reaction will be spontaneous and genuine we know.

DEAN DEFINES PURPOSE OF COLLEGE

VOORHEES TO ELECT

(Delivered at Pomona College, Mar. 17, 1938 by Wm. B. Munro, Prof of History and Government a t California Insti tute of Techno-logy.)

(Reprinted from Pomona College Bulletin, Claremont, California, M a y , 1938 . )

* • *

The first proposition relates to

the purpose of a college education.

Everybody has heard it stated

;nany times and in a great variety

of ways. The purpose of a college

fniuat ion, one '..cars it :'a d. is to broaden i.'u' boinuU i f u t.indent's knowledge, or make him more ef-ficient in gaining a livelihood, or develop character, or promote bet-ter citizenship in a democracy, or help him to use his leisure time.

But all the-e purposes can be lolled into one by saying lhat the chief task of the college is to stim-ulate minds into self-propelled ac-tivity. Put the accent upon "self-propelled," because there is no sub-sti tute for a self-starter in the in-tellectual mechanism. Unless a college education induces young men and women to move under their own steam it accompishes very little. If, on the other hand, it succeeds in doing this almost all other shortcomings may be for-given.

That ought to be a commonplnc ' but unhappily it is not so regard-ed. Otherwise we would hear less about the necessity of studying this or that subject in order that cne may go out into the woild equipped with information about it. Repeatedly this question is asked of me as a college teacher: "Don't you think your students ought to know something about internation-al affaiis or monetary problems, or practical politics, or various other matters of great timely impor-tance? Is it fair to young men and women when a college sends them out into the world without any knowledge of the actual prob-lems which they are likely to (n-counter?" Such questions, ot course, betoken a failure to 'Jis-, A

i tinguish between supplies "rand equipment,—a distinction which ought to be kept in mind by stu-dents and teachers quite aa much as by accountants ar.yl auditor;'.

Let me illustrate by an analogy from a somewhat distant field, the

; history of polar exploration. For a great many years, you will re-

member, there was an orthodox method of trying to penetrate the polar regions. The explorer pro-vided himself with supplies of every variety, using his utmost in-genuity to get the most into the least space and trying to foresee every possible need on the way. Then, when he had accumulated what he thought would carry him through, he made his dash across the ice, fervently hoping -that the supplies would last out the jour-ney. Sometimes they did; but more often they didn't, and when they didn't it was just too bad.

Now that is exactly the way in which a great many young men and women seem to look upon the task of preparing themselves for the longer journey of later years. A college, they seem to think, is a place where you spend four years taking aboard supplies for the trip. Get all the knolwedge you can, therefore, of as many different var-ieties as you can. And preferably get it in concentrated form so that it will be easier to carry. Then go out into the world with the hope that your stock of knowledge will last to the end of your days.

But explorers of the polar reg-ions have now found a different and better method. Steffannson went into the Arctic Circle and travelled all over it for four yeais without taking: any food supplies a t all. He took tools—a gun, am-munition, fishing tackle—and lived off the country. Being thus equip-ped he could have roamed the polar regions for a lifetime. He called it "The Friendly Arctic" because it reacted to him in that spirit.

So, when a college sends any-one out on a journey of world ex-ploration the most useful thing it can do for him is to see that he is well equipped with the tools and

! implements that he will need— chief among which is a mind of radioactive propensities. N o t merely a "well-stored mind," for a well-informed man is not always a clear-thinking man. There are men with encyclopedic minds who neveitheless seem quite unable to seize upon the vitals of any new 1-roblem. ^

THE STUDENT PRINTS By B. Van Putten and Genne Nafe

DON'T BE A SUCKER—We'll lick you yet if you read our colyum all year! Don't laugh at our jokes. What if our jokes do seem weak and old—you'd be too if you were three years old today.

Seeing as how this first issoo of the fall 1939 Anker marks our thoid Annivoisery, we are thinking of forming a Club for the better appreshiation of the Student Prints. If you icant to jem the ranks just send in a dollar with the new chimney on Grave's Hail, or reasonable facimile—Note, isn't that simpul?

By the way, so many magazines and newspapers have been changing their names, we thought of changing ours to "Widely and Extensively," so you all can say you read widely and extensively.

Confidential — We have always felt that the Student Prints owes its success to the kind, thoughtful, sympathetic, understanding attitude which it strives to maintain with its readers. Therefore we are publishing this letter for the ben-efit of the Freshmen. This letter received from one of our little newcomers (6 feet 2 inches in her stocking feet.) Dear Student Prints:—

What busy days these are for a freshman—what with registration, taking tests, getting settled, meeting people and paying fees, my mind is in a constant whirl. I feel I'm in the middle of a turbulent turmoil. I don't know whether I'm sitting or standing behind me. What shal I do? ? ?

PUZZLED. Answer :

Dear Puzzie (may we call you Pu . for shor t?) ; Ya got us, kid.—S. P.

We are wondering— You know we've heard of many races before—the red,

brown, black, and yellow, but since all the kids have come hack from their vacations, we've discovered another—the ultra-violet race.

Speaking of Wondering—everyone at some time has learned about the Seven Wonders of the World, so we have composed a modern list fo r our approval or disa—

T H E MODERN SEVEN WONDERS 1. Submissive Freshman. 2. Governor Dickinson. 3. Boulder Dam. 4. Ann Sheridan. 5. Governor Dickinson. 6. The Commons Room. 7. Triple Threa t Governor Dickinson.

By the by—we have a word to all newcomers—a blind date is usually someone you can't see.

They say as f a r as theW.A.L.dues a re concerned it 's half a league—half a league.

And now because of all the war scares here is a Glos-sary of the War for you

1. Torpedoes—what you have when your shoes are too t ight .

2. Trenches—what rain does. 3. Tanks—an expression of grat i tude. 4. Lines—everyone has them. 5. Bullet—a female Ferdinand. 6. Boots—As in Puss in—. 7. Bomb—An epithet as in, you dir ty ! ! 8. Troop—past tense of drip. 9. W^r—noise made by lions.

10. Tent—number a f t e r nine. Parting Shot—

In spite of everything, when you read the Student Prints—always think of us as your,

WE INTERVIEW Schrier

" I t ' a lmost like homecoming: to be back in Michigan again ," P ro f -essor Wm. Schrier, Hope's new professor of speech, exclaimed. Stopped in the act of moving into his Moore Manor apar tment . Prof . Schrier welcomed the res t f r o m the heavy task of uncra t ing stored fu rn i t u r e f r o m their Nor th Dakota home, and explained t h a t Kalama-zoo is still his parenta l home.

Recalling other Michigan associ-ations, he remembered his under-graduate years a t Kalamazoo col-lege when Coach Bud Hinga "beat me out of a baseball le t ter ." Ora-tory and debate were even then his pr imary interes ts when, as "Bill" Schrier, he debated Dr. Nykerk 's Hope boys many times.

F i f teen years of teaching as a professor of speech a t St. Louis Universi ty, Univers i ty of Colorado and the Universi ty of North Da-kota have given Prof . Schrier a range of experience and a g iand opportuni ty to t ry out some of his " p e t " ideas. Most interest ing have been his "Town-Gown" debates be-fo re civic groups.

In speaking of the new position here, Prof . Schrier said, "It is a humbling experience to follow in the foots teps of Dr. Nykeik and Dr. Shackson. I knew Dr. Shack-son at the University of Michigan as a s tudent t n d came to kno'v him even bet ter later. I counted him my f r iend ."

Many plans and possibilities are whir r ing in the head of the ener-getic professor along the line of forensic activity for the year. Not yet acquainted officially with the activity set-up, he resolves to "make has te slowly," but already he plans a debate get - together fo r the middle of October. His main objective will be "to maintain and extend fine town-college relation-ship through audience forensics."

Working feverishly with her hus-band to get the house in order is Mrs. Schrier, who seems quite hap-py in the academic atmosphere of a seminary next door and a college across the way. Their nine-year old Sally Ann has already taken hold of things by s t a r t i ng to school a t Froebel.

It took no questioning to discov-er that the Schriers already feel at home in Holland. It has long been his desire to teach in a small denominational college. And now the dream has come true.

Bast Mr. H e n r y Bast, new Bible prof-

essor on Hope's campus, doesn' t need to be told where the Frosh-Soph pull will be held this year because he knows.

"Pul l ing the f reshmen through the r iver twelve years ago w a s one of the most thril l ing events in my life," was Mr. Bast ' s enthusiast ic reply when asked about his stu-dent experiences a t Hope.

Uiged to go on, the new prof hesi tated.

"The s tory of some of our es-capades might not have a proper influence on the present s tudent-life of the college," he said, and very tac t fu l ly evaded the subject of the interview by revealing his s tudent ta lent as a debater.

"I debated for two or three years on the vars i ty debate squad," Mr. Bast went on, "and always took the negat ive side. You can draw any conclusions you wou , )V like f rom tha t . " So f a r the repor ter has failed to find any negative qualit ies in his personality, how-ever.

When asked about the six years spent in Grand Rapids as pastor of the Richmond Reformed church, Mr. Bast was equally enthusiastic.

"I 've always been interested in young people's work," he said, "and spent a good share of my time in tha t field. For some time I acted in the capacity of Youth Counselor for the Synod of Chicago. The three years as director of the West , minster Summer Lodge Confer-ence near Holland has been an ex-perience genuinely enjoyed. In par t icular it has given me a chance to come in contact with a number of students f rom Hope.

Mr. Bast shook his head when asked if he had spent any t ime at the camp last year, saying he was a s tudent at Union Seminary in New Yoik City last summer in special preparation fo r his teach-ing activities this fall.

In speaking of curriculum plans

for next yea i , the new prof said 1

that he would devote all of h is j

time to his Bible classes. He has j

arranged to offer courses in Fresh-

man Bible both semesters instead

of making the usual semester split

in Evidences. The Senior Bible

course will be offered only in Feb-

ruary .

Alma, Hillsdale Seen As Tops In M.LA.A. Grid Title Chase

Pre-season dope on the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association football title race gives Hillsdale, last year's winner, and Alma an even chance for the championship. Hillsdale lost few men from last year's team and are reported to have a good crop of sophomores. Alma, although a strong team last year, made a poor showing when the madd a poor showing when the final standings were in; has prac-tically the same team back plus an exceptional group of last year's freshmen.

Albion is rated slightly behind the two title contenders and with a few breaks might come in and win the money.

Kalamazoo and Hope are rated pretty close together, although both may be considered as dark horses and upset the dope. Kazoo has a reputation for winning when things are tough. Rivalry between Hope und. Kazoo is keen and their game may deeid« .wh«re either team will be in the final gtandings.

As usual, Oliyet and Adrian are expected to be the M.I.A.A. door-mats again and will fight it out for the cellar por t ion, with Olivet ^iyen the long-bdds.

Frosh Prospects Promising In Practice

The thud of pigskin and the clashing of leather is again in full evidence on the college gridiron, as some twenty-five freshmen re-ported to Coach Jack Schouten. Among the prospects for guard positions on the team were Carl and Mike Krompotich, twin broth-ers from Grand Haven. Also from Grand Haven comes Bob Hoek and Whitey Riemersma. Among the Holland aggregation to repoit were Frank Lokker, a center being con-verted to an end, the Prince twins, George and Clarence, Seymour Padnos, Bob end Jack Whalen, Clinton Harrison, Edwin Nieusma, Lloyd Beny, Ernest Overbeek, and Norman Rutgers. Other players to report were Don Dykstra of De-troit, Art Timmer of Grandville, Bill Hiddema of Shelby, Mich., Gor-don Albers of Eldora, la., and Phil Dykstra of Baldwin, Wis. At the present, a definite schedule for these huskies ht'.s not been com-pleted, but a game with Hill-.dale and Albion is contemplated.

It is hoped that the team may be worked into a fast moving unit so 4hat they may get the exper-ience necessnry to fill the shoes of the departing seniors. The team is of fair size and it is ex-pected that it will give the frosh of '-K* somethii g to root abu it.

Hope college appears in first scrimmages to have the best pros-pects in years. . . But paradoxically, the proteges of Coach Bud Hinga will have a tough job proving it in their traditional opener with Ferris Inst i tute here Friday night. . . I t ' s all E mat ter of work, for although Hope seems to have a greater backfield wealth than in many previous years, and although 1939 recruits joined with three veterans are shaping the line to potential s trength, the entire squad has had but three good days of drill together. . . It will be up to Coach Hinga to depend mostly on boys who have been in drills since Sept. 5, and according to reports Ferris may have more of them. . . Ferris ' entire squad reported Sept. 5, because school there opened thenj and Hope's last five members arrived only Monday. . .

The contest, however, is bound to be interesting, especially in the light of previous records. . . Hope has a record to maintain tha t in 13 previous contests, Ferris never has defeated Hope, and has managed to score but 12 points. . . Games were always closer than the bald anplysis might indicate. . . Only three times has Hope defeated the Bulldogs by more than 12 points. . . The scores of those Hope vic-tories were: 1938, 20-0; 1933r 26i0; 1931, 19-0; and 1919, 71-6. . . Twice, in 1922 and 1937, Hope was held to a scorelcss tie. Sco res of Hope victories in the past five years were: 1934, 6-0; 1935, 7-6; 1937, 0-0, and 1938 20-0. . . Those apples indicate the kind of battle that will bi staged Friday night. . . Playing under no association rules, Ferris is allowed to play men four years. . .

Freshman Coach Jack Schouten ol Hope college, who probably has taught more football players than his pupil? have ever seen and who has been coaching more years than the average age of his players, may get the "heebee jeebies" from the 1939 crop.

Three pairs of twins will taunt him in drills when the frosh of-ficially begin booting the pigskin.

At least a tentative registration list at the college office indicates lha t amount of double trouble is in store for the freshman mentor.

On the other hand, however, Scouten might be able to pass some his bewilderment on to his grid foes with some kind of a "twin sneak."

First on the list are the Pj.ince twins, George and Clarence, who

Football Hopes of MIAA Schools Are Reviewed

Following is a paragraph on each football team in the MIAA. They are described in the order experts might predict them to end the season.

Coach Dwight Harwood a t Hills-dale predicts a good season down-state. He has 12 lettermen—rseven of them regulars from last sea-son's undefeated and untied eleven —headed by Gordon Piatt , versa-tile halfback, who will be shifted to fill the quarterback spot left vacant through the graduation of flashy Bill Trau.

Alma last year put the best freshman team on the field the MIAA has seen in many years. If Gordon McDonald can count on them, with very capable veterans headed by senior Bob Ginther, Alma will bid strongly fo r the crown.

Albion captured three Grand Rapids Junior boys and a fourth junior colege boy from Flint, in the pre-season melee. Grand Rap-ids boys are John Rybachock, full-

Hingamen To Play Ferris Institute In Opening Tilt

Hope to Make 1939 Debut Under Arcs Here Friday

The 1939 edition of the Hope College football team will make i ts debute Friday night, under the lights, a t Riverview Park, against Ferris Institute's eleven from Big Rapids. The Dutch hope to repeat last year's 20-0 victory, but will be minus the services of seven vet-erans who graduated. Twelve re-turning lettermen will form the nucleus from which Coach Bud Hinga will build his team. The en-tire f ront wall will have to be re-vamped to replace the five regulars lost by the graduation route. Cap-tain Bob Powers has been shifted from guard to center, where he performed in high school. Bill Hak-ken and Ward Toner, two sopho-mores, will probably get the call at the guard positions. Other can-didates for guard are Marv Den Herder, Jimmie White, Howard

back; Willis Long, end; and Barry H o e k j e i a n d K e n M m e r A t l e { t

played a "mite" of basketball for Christian high school here during the past few years. They already have reported for the first foot-ball drills of their careers:

If it were only the Prince twins, it wouldn't be so bad, because Schouten was Christian high's basketball trainer last season. But the Whelan twins, formerly of Holland high school, have put in their bids for grid berths.

The Whelans, Bob and Jack, who have been working at White Lake for the summer, are set to storm the college tfeld.

Wh^n the four Holland boys are catalogued,,^chooten's trouble will be just begun.

One day several weeks ago, a pair of husky footballers from Grand Haven knocked on the col-lege office door, and announced that Mike and Carl Krompotic would like to try Hope college.

They both have diplomas from the gridiron as well as the high school classroom, for they were mainstays of the Grand Haven high school line last year.

If and when Schouten gets these six straightened out, George and Emily Kardux, both graduates of Holland high school, will sneak up to the practice sidelines to bother the coach with their "twin-iness." George, who was manager of the Holland high school club last year, may become a fixture on the football field. His sister, Emily, was one of the Holland high Athletic Sisters.

Away from fact, it is rumored that another pair of twins will attend college this fall. Twin girls from Kalamazoo may be enrolled as freshmen, it is said, but their names are not registered.

Beach, tackle; all of Grand Rapids. Bob Grimes, guard, is f rom Flint.

Hope should have a good season with three regulars returning to the line, and two to the backfield. In addition, sophomores, other let-termen, and junior college players fill out two capable backfield com-binations and almost two lines. Bob Montgomery, fullback; Bob Hudson, guard; and Bob Idema, halfback, all of Grand Rapids Jun-ior college, are immediately eligi-ble.

tackle Bob Van Dyk is a sure s tar t -er, with either Bill Tappen or George Vander Hill a t the other tackle post. Reserve tackles sure to see action Friday are Marty Bekken, Dick Hanson, Red Luidens, and Palmer Martin. Kenny Honholt will be back a t his old spot on left end and George Heneveld seems slated for the call at right end. Johnny Dinkeloo, Phil Waalkes and Eddie De Pree also are putting in heavy bids for end jobs.

Ray Meyers, who per-formed well on the freshman team last year, should fill Boyink's shoes capably a t left half. Both Bob Van-derlan, quarterback and signal call-er, and Lee Brannock, rangy r ight half, are back and should turn in their best performances this sea-son. Art Kronemeyer, Ted Cimock, Don Poppen and Bud Morgan will furnish a capable a r ray of reserve backs.

The team has been practicing since Sept. 5. Excessive w a r m weather has restricted scrimmage sessions. Conditioning exercises and signal drills have been stressed to put the team in good pre-season shape and spirits. Practice under the lights is scheduled for tomor-row night. Spectators at the prac-tice sessions have observed the high spirits that Capt. Powers has in-jected into the team.

Grand Rapids Junior is Hope's next opponent on Sept. 29 here, at night, also. Adrian college officially opens Hope's M.LA.A. schedule here, on Oct. 6.

Olivet will play freshmen this year, but nevertheless will have a hard job keeping a full team on the field. Coach Bill Hemingway ordered a Sunday practice last week in an effor t to get the team into shape to open Friday with Grand Rapids Junior college.

Adrian last year was a rugged team in the conference with sev-eral giant freshmen. If these boys are available, the experience gain-ed last year may make the Bull-dogs surprising threats in the con-ference.
