NYKERK CUP GOES TO FROSH! YM, YW Net $1227 in Mission Drive; Rev. E. Waite Describes Migrant Life

"You never will understand any-body until you love them," was quoted by Rev. Emmett Waite in describing how his work as mi-g r a n t missionary accomplishes more when accompanied by love. Rev. Waite related the Bible story told by one of his boys to prove how much more it means if backed by love.

The life of a migrant child is hard, for he begins working at the age of five or six. These children may be working next to a church or a school, yet never attend. Many blessings which we take for grant-ed a re learned, and it is not until we are deprived of them that we notice it.

Missionaries to these people or-ganize the services on the spur of the moment since they must build it from the workers who happen to come. No definite time is given for a meeting, but they begin when a crowd is assembled. Since the mi-grants move to new fields accord-ing to the harvest, the missionaries work with a new group practically all the time. There is no race prej-udice among these people, for Southern whites, Negroes, and Mexicans hold services together.

Migrant ServiceH

Contrary to popular opinion, all migrants are not heathen or for-eigners to the Gospel. Many are fine Christians. "It is time for the

Protestant Church to stop talking

about the Fatherhood of God and Brotherhood of Man when we don't mean it," was the indictment Rev. Waite made against the Prot-estant Church today. He desires his people to be rich in the things of the spirit, tha t par t of them may become ministers and also teachers, doctors, and lawyers.

ReligiouH Music

The life of these people mani-fests itself in their music. These "White Spirituals'" are based on their religious experiences while the words and music are extempor-aneous. "He Had to Walk It by Himse l f is a typical spiritual.

Since it is hard for the migrants to have services similar to a regu-lar meeting, and music helps so much. Rev. Waite suggested tha t portable organs and hymn books could be used the most in their missionary work.

With this suggestion in mind, the YMCA and YWCA based the 11)4;")—40 Mission drive on "Music for Migrants ' . Truday Maassen and I'ick Vrieson, mission chair-men, arranged the chapel service, and the Y cabinet members helped collect pledges from the student body. The total pledged now is $1227.50. Anyone who wishes can still raise his pledge. Pledges are due on or before January 15, 1946.

Victory Stamps On Sale; Red Cross Seeks Knitters

Although the war has officially ended, "it 's not over "yet for our occupation troops in Japan , for our forces needed to check anarchy, riot and pestilence in liberated Eu-rope, or for the thousands of wounded just beginning the long road to recovery. The cost of these operations, and of material pro-duced before victory, still runs into billions." This quotation was taken from a letter received by Elaine Meeusen, the Student War Bond Chairman, from l>aniel Melcher, the Director of the Education Sec-tion of the War Finance Division. Since the end of the war, H o p e College students have declined con-siderably in their support of the victory stamps and bonds sales and in their participation in other help-ful organizations, such as the Red Cross. ^

Every student's cooperation is needed to back the sale of victory

bonds and stamps, and thus to raise the standard of Hope College. Why don't you make it your habit to stop at the Samp Shack on the first floor of Van Raalte every week or two and do your share?

The girls on the campus also have the opportunity to do more post-war work, but it seems tha t they aren't taking advantage of it, for as yet only four girls have signed up to do Red Cross knitting. They are Ruth Bartholomew, Pinks Mulder, Jere Uppleger, and Ron-nie Finlaw. The Red Cross needs your help in the knitt ing of sweat-ers, scarfs, etc., so if you are in-terested, notify Elaine Meeusen as soon as possible.

All Hopeites back these two

projects so that others will know that Hope College students are do-ing their share in these needful projects.

English Majors Discuss Illinois Authors' Works

The English Majors met Thurs-

day, November 8, 1945, to discuss

the writers and the history of Illi-

nois literature. Luella Pyle was

program chairman, and she intro-duced the subject by speaking

about the background of Illinois

literature before 1900. The modern

aspects were taken up by Vivian

Dykema, Dorothy Weyenberg, Bar-

bara Bilkert, and Betty Timmer, who spoke on these authors re-spectively, Frank Norris, Theodore Drieser, Edgar Lee Masters, and Vachel Linsay.

A very interesting discussion followed on the question of whether the Chicago School of Literature typified the Americah School of Literature in general. The Chi-cago School of Literature is very cynical and realistic and other countries have wondered if all American literature had the same

vein of thought During the business meeting Ann

Fikse was appointed chairman of the Novel Club to be sponsored on the campus. Peg Bakelaar was re-freshment chairman.

Bobby pins and curlers, creamed

faces and slippered feet. You'll see

P.J. 's that fairly shout. Yes, you've

guessed it, it's the W.A.L. slumber

party to be held Friday night, No-

vember 30, at 11:30 p. m. Co-

chairmen of this yearly town-dorm

girls fete are Betty Van Lente and

Ruth Dalenberg.

All town girls are receiving in-vitations to" spend the night at one. of the dorms, and the main event of the evening will be a spread in Voorhees Living Room. Peg Bakelaar has planned a vari-ety program including classical music played by Carol Chaput, a monologue by Muncie Vander Wege, group singing led by Nat Bosnian, and a surprise skit by a group of Van Vleck Juniors. If you're in-terested in food, you might drop in to see Phyllis Vos, who is in charge of that somewhat important detail.

Sleep will be one of those minor events that comes much, much later. The two-in-a-bed method will prevail to accommodate the town girls, and we can guarantee that more than one sleepy co-ed will evacuate the top bunk in favor of that hard, but roomy floor. On Saturday morning there will be breakfast for all served in Voor-hees dining hall.

A.D.D. Girls Plan Year's Activities

The A.D.D. held a short minute meeting November 16 in Van Raalte Hall to make fu r the r plans fo r the year.

According to the president, Lu-cille Teninga, the organization is making plans for the sale of candy a t the basketball games this win-ter . The vice-president, Betty I)e Vries, will be in charge of this project, and will be assisted by other members.

Everyone should take note of the new time schedule of the Blue Key Book Store. I t will only be open three days a week in the fu-ture — Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

All students are aware of the supply of Hope Pennants which arrived in the store this week. They are going fast , so Hopeites who don't want to be disappointed had better hur ry and buy ohe.

At the regular meeting of Pal-lette and Masque Club, held on November 12 in the Commons Room of Van Raalte Hall, M i s s Joanne Decker presented to an ap-preciative audience an interpretive reading entitled "Wingless Vic-tory." The thesis of this reading was racial prejudice.

Another feature of the program was the presentation of a one-act religious play which was submitted to group criticism. Co-directors of this play, Misses Bunny GofF and Janet Huizenga, have announced that it will be given for the stu-dent body some time in February or March. Also in the offing is a C h r i s t m a s play which P & M members will present as a par t of the Christmas campus activities.

As a remuneration for the pres-entation of "Pep Parade," Pallette and Masque Club received $50 from the Holland Junior League, by whom the play was sponsored. From this amount, dramatic equip-ment will be purchased.

Organizations May Rent "K le t i " for Party Use

The Alcor society has again con-tributed another service to our college campus.

They have decided to rent out the Koffee Kletz for use in any occasion which requires the serving of refreshments. Any club or other college organization may rent the Kletz for the price of $1.00 to be used in general cleaning of the room. Coffee, coke, or chocolate milk will be supplied by the Kletz at the usual cost.

The Alcor society is also plan-ning a program to take place the last week in November at the home of Miss Elaine Prins, 107 E. 9th St.

Sophs Lead Y Service; Discuss Values of Life

A program with the theme "Abundant Living'' was given a t YW on Tuesday night, November 20. The meeting was in charge of the sophomore girls with Ruth Hoffman as chairman.

Speakers Isla Van Der Heuvel, Ruth Dalenberg and Rachel Dyk-s t ra illustrated how "abundant life" may be found through appre-ciation of poetry, classical music, and hymns.

A special musical selection was presented by Marian Ter Borg and Mary Ellen Boower accompanied by Lois Van Wyk.

Michigan Is Theme of Library Display

Of special interest to out-of-state students is this week's library dis-play on Michigan. Containing in-formation on Michigan's education program, financing and general history, it will serve as a guide to any student wishing to learn some-thing of Michigan's background.

One of the books on display is "They Need Not Vanish," a discus-sion of Michigan's natural re-sources published by the state con-servation department. "The Story of Detroit," by George B. Catlin, outlines the history of Detroit since the time of Cadillac.

In "Michigan's County Flags and Histories," by Milo M. Quaife, each county is reviewed and illus-trated with " its flag. Ottawa county's account contains informa-tion on Holland and Hope College.

German Students Hear H. Sawitsky

The German Club held its month-ly meeting the evening of Novem-ber 8, 1946, a t 7:30 in the Science Building.

A short business meeting was conducted by the president, Elea-nor Mulder, and plans were made for the December and January meetings. Nellie Mae Ritsema led in the singing of several German songs.

The program consisted of Helga Sawitsky s h o w i n g pictures of scenes jn Germany which she had received f rom her mother. She also told about her mother's work as a censor near Sut tgar t and read sev-eral interesting excerpts from her letters.

Chopin Discussed By Musical Group

Chopin and his works are still a topic of keen interest for members of the Musical Arts Club, and at their meeting on Thursday, No-vember 15, held in Miss Meyer's room in the chapel, they continued their discussion of him and en-joyed hearing records of some of his more famed works.

Co-chairmen for the meeting were Ruth Bartholomew and Alma Vanderhill who arranged a clever program both interesting and bene-ficial. Several members of the club read interesting articles about Chopin's Valse, Polonaise, Mazurka, Nocturne, and Berceuse, and a f t e r the reading of each article, a rec-ord of this work was played. Chopin's works have suddenly come alive for a great majori ty of peo-ple, and members in Musical Arts are no exception.

During the course of the busi-ness meeting, Christmas Vespers were again discussed. This is an event many look forward to and will probably be held on the sec-ond Sunday of December. Pro-ceeds from this will be donated to the American Red Cross.

Fourteen Freshmen to Live in De Roo Cottage

Until the Colombia Cottage it completed Frosh girls who have been living in the Netherlands Ho-tel will now be housed in the De Roo Cottage, located next to Beach. Mrs. Steinenger will be house-mother to the fourteen girls who are to lire there.

The house was recently pur-chased by the college from the Chatmans and has been remodeled.

Hats off goes to both coaches for the Freshmen and Sophomores. The Freshmen c h a i r m a n was ^eggy Prins with Ann Vanderveer, the assisting Junior. Alice Laugh-lin, as Senior coach, assisted Ruth Hoffman with the Sophomore pro-gram.

Frosh Sextette Under a spotlight six Freshmen

dressed in pastelle formats pre-sented their musical number. The sextette, composed of Barbara Van Dyke, Alice Parrott , Clare Wier-enga, Marie Butler, Jane t Snow and Judy Mulder, blended beauti-fully in "I Heard a Forest Pray-ing" by Peter De Rose. They were accompanied by Dorothy Berges.

"Our Efforts Toward Peace" was the subject of Jean Watson's ora-tion for the Sophomores. J e a n presented the problem that it is our responsibility to see that other nations as well as our own be brought back to a peaceful status.

One-Act Comedy "Polly Put the Kettle On, We'll

All Have Tea" by Peggy Farnday was the title of the laugh provok-ing comedy presented by the Fresh-men. Polly Lincoln Washington, the ghost-frightened maid, was cleverly hortrayed by Pauline Vien-ing. Mrs. Jason, the tea-loving mother, was played by Shirley Martin with Kay and Marion as daughters enacted by Arlene Wie-ton and Evelyn Gregg. Jean Sib-ley, as the neighborhood authority on dieting with her mischievous daughter Sylvia, "Muncie" Vander Wege, added many a witty com-ment. Carol Prigge played the part as the sophisticated Julia Martin.

Phylis Darrow sang "Morning" in a sett ing of a small garden fo r the Sophomore musical number. She was accompanied by Alma Vander Hill.

Future of Youth The Freshman oration was en-

titled "What of Tomorrow?" Ruth Koop ably presented the theories that the responsibility of a just fu ture lies in the youth of today who must be prepared fo r this re-sponsibility, and stressing the need for religious education "With God as our teacher. His church as our school, and His word as our textbook."

Being f ramed took on new mean-ing when we saw Milly Verm aire as the model Ruth "who had seen better days," Rosemary Finlaw as sarcastic Gertie "who had seen darker days," Lois Van Wyk as Betty with zipper troubles, and Cal Hermance as Annie "who'd been around awhile" acting as dum-mies in a dress shop window. With the help of Joyce Sibley, Miss Ma-rie, and Virginia Hemmes, Miss Dudley they really got dresed fo r the occasion in "Girls Must Talk" by Paul T. Gantt .

Frosh Penalties

Af t e r the presentation of the cup the meeting was adjourned to the Athletic field where the Fresh-men held the solemn ( ? ) cere-mony of the burning of the green. However, a few are still remem-bering those days when they should have worn it since the pen-alties were handed out to the fol-lowing people: Walt Boerman, Clare Wierenga, John Knopf, Alice Moolenaar, Dick Van Doren, Ken Zuvering, Laverne Bos, Don Everse, Bill Geiger, Irene Heemstra, Con-nie Hinga, Bill Hoekinga, Jean Sib-ley, Peggy Prins, Muncie Vander Wege, Dave Karsten, Arlene Wie-ton. Bill Brown, Dorothy Lievense, Jean Snow, Janet Snow, and Bob Stoppels. Seen on campus next day were the results of their misde-meanors.

Edi Make a Fair Decision

In current discussions concerning the presence of sororities and fraternities little has been said of the over-all influence and results, locally or beyond campus boundaries, if these groups were abolished.

Everyone has considered the evils of blackballing, informal initiations, exclusiveness, election campaigns, and poor pro-grams, and has reached some decision.

When we're considering a change in campus life as un-usual as thisi however, we must, of necessity, become aware of the far-reaching influences dissolution of these organiza tions will effect.

Will the alumni attitude toward Hope change? Will theii sentimental feeling, which often results in positive acts toward the school — will this feeling lessen?

We must answer these questions. The conditions on th( campus are continuously changing and therefore abolish-ment, it seems, is the only method of securing proper college

attitude. Connected with this question of influence is the effect of

our student body action on other campuses. Are we secure enough in our decision to be able and to want to defend abol ishment of societies and fraternities on our campus and als( on theirs? Or shall we assume there is an element of rela tivity in the problem — what is right or best for us may noi be for someone else.

Another effect we must consider is whether or not th( abolition of these organizations will detract from the attrac-tiveness of Hope College to incoming students. This should not be necessary. If an individual is told tha t on this cam-pus there is no group snobbery, little artificiallly inspired social competition, the attractiveness would be enhanced.

When discussing this problem, keep in mind the over-all effect, don't always remember or be excessively influenced by what you, personally, have derived from these organiza-tions. Be fair, be aware of others!

Thanksgiving is True Thanks-Living Thanksgiving Day should be a day of thanksgiving to God.

and a firm resolve to make this a reality by true thanks-giving.

Every day is a day worthy of our thanks to God, but we are so embroiled in the affairs of the moment that thing;; of much greater importance are lost in the shuffle.

Personal and campus problems overshadow those things we should be especially thankful for in the world today — life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Many people are deprived of their liberty and their pursuit for happiness, but we have hardly been touched. ' National and international news is filled with world-shak-

ing events and problems of world-wide importance without a thought of tiie One who eventually decides all issues.

We as college students are practically cut off from most major problems. \\ e can discuss atomic power, compulson military training, or race prejudice; but, unless we are vitally interested in national and international trends, or will be affected by a change in the present situation, these affairs make little impression on us.

These world problems are of great importance, but they are lost in the every-day events. Yet how much easier it is to forget to be thankful for all the blessings we receive daily. As Rev. Waite mentioned in chapel, "Many blessings which we take for granted are learned, and it is not until we are deprived of them that we notice it."

Do we need deprivation to show our thankfulness to God? Certainly one day a year is little enough, but Thanksgiving Day can and should be followed in the days to come with thanks to God for all that He has showered upon us. May Thanksgiving be evidenced by true thanks-living wherever we are. V. D.

Letters To The Editor

To the Edi tor :

Most of the le t te rs which were

pr inted in the last issue reflected

the views of upperc lassmen and

sorori ty members. We would like

to present the opinions of some f reshmen non-sorori ty members .

F i r s t of all, we want to say tha t we have noticed almost no "soror-ity sp i r i t " on the campus. It is actual ly difficult to discover which girls belong to the var ious sorori-ties. Since we came here, we have heard very little about sorori ty r ivalry.

But the fac t has impressed us t ha t every year there a re gir ls who a re grea t ly disappointed in not being pledged to a sorori ty . This has helped a g rea t deal to influ-ence us agains t sorori t ies. W h e n we think tha t perhaps next year

N a t t a i n m e n t s of its individual mem-bers.

I am firmly of the opinion t h a t th is evil is more r a m p a n t on the campus than most s tuden t s a re aware . One almost never da re s to cast his vote fo r someone who does not belong to the same soror i ty , a s if the candidate should lose be-

cause of lack of soror i ty suppor t , the soror i ty would thereby lose its so-called "p re s t ige" on the campus.

Of course, r ivalry is essent ial in a democrat ic form of election—it is the very basis of it — but is th is type of organized election some-th ing we can boast o f ? In my opinion it is the most unhea l thy and base kind of r ivalry t h a t ex-ists.

I th ink the t ime has definitely come when we as intel l igent f u t u r e leaders of America should t ake a firm s tand in the mat te r , prove tha t we a re capable of pu t t i ng the fundamen ta l principles of democ-; racy to work in our college just

a girl who has become our best a s w e e x P e c ^ when our col-

fr iend would be blackballed, we feel the injustice of the sys tem.

So we have arr ived at this con-clusion: if a bet ter plan can be de-vised of social and educational or-ganizat ions which will bring to-gether members of all classes, we will hearti ly endorse it. Perhaps a modification of sorori t ies would be the answer, as suggested by Luella I'yle in her le t ter to the Editor.

We definitely feel that it would be a very disas t rous mis take to abolish sororit ies without inst i tut-ing a bet ter type of organizat ion.

Dear Kditor,

A f t e r reading the le t ters to the Edi tor in the ANCHOR of Novem-ber 8, and finding the "con" a rgu-ments ou tnumber ing the " p r o " two to one, I decided tha t those of us who feel that the sorori ty has a definite place on campus should have our turn to express opinions.

It seems to me tha t the most foolish a t tack aga ins t sorori t ies has been tha t these organiza t ions are not Chris t ian in thei r methods of select ing members. If Hope Col-

Ever since sorori t ies have been insti tuted on the campus, there has existed an unpleasant r i v a l r y among them. Unfor tuna te ly th is has so permeated our campus ac-tivit ies that no election is ever held on the campus without these rivalries enter ing in.

Each sorori ty is a backing to its own candidate; there is little or no thought given to the qualifica-tions of the candidates for offices. The object a lways seems to be to have" one's sorori ty s is ters as " t o p " leaders on the campus, and with pride each sorori ty points to the

and f r a t e rn i t i e s for success. These things a r e : The Homecoming Pa-rade, the All-College Sing. Not even all seniors remember what thr i l ls these funct ions provided for s tudents , faculty, townspeople and alumni. We have been living an abnormal college life due to war-t ime conditions. Abolishing sorori-ties is an outgrowth of these con-ditions. Can we re tu rn to these normal pre-war activit ies without sorori t ies ?

One or more represen ta t ives f rom each sorori ty are present in the fol lowing organiza t ions ' board meet ings : W.A.L., S tudent Coun-

cil, W.A.A., and Pan-Hellenic. These organizat ions find it a con-venient and excellent method to reach the great ma jo r i ty of women on campus through this direct con-t a d they have with each sorori ty. It is my contention tha t th is is the democratic way because these lead-ing organiza t ions have every type of girl on campus. If sorori t ies were abolished, one clique of girls , a small group with the most "pop-ular appeal ," would h o l d ' a l l the key positions regardless of capa-bilities.

It is interest ing to note t ha t there is a cry for more All -Campus activities, presumably to be spon-

Dear Edi tor :

Some have said tha t sororities-

a re un-Chris t ian and undemocratic.

Others have said tha t sororitief offer social and cul tural advan-t a g e s t ha t cannot be overlooked, i am inclined to agree with both. Nei ther g roup has — nor can — deny the claims of the other group. The quest ions before us a re two; Are the social and cul tural aspects of sorori ty life of g r e a t enough

value to jus t i fy their un-Chris t ian and undemocrat ic pract ices (whici.

have not been den ied)? Are the un-Chris t ian and undemocrat ic ele men t s ser ious enough to war r a m a genuine effort on our par t ; toward finding our social and cul tural life e l sewhere? To tne lirst 1 say, "No!" ; to the second, ' Yes!

Sorori t ies — even at Hope -have a lways been closely associ-ated with exclusion, prejudice, ant; discrimination aga ins t personal! ties. Tha t no one will r e fu te , 1 n. sure. Nor will I try to deny tha i 1 have enjoyed my sorori ty life. Soror i ty has done g rea t th ings for me personal ly. 1 have found grand f r iendships , and oppor tuni t ies to.-developing leadership, or ig inal i ty , and poise. What ' s more, i t 's g ram, fun ! ! These privileges, every giri should enjoy. I am coming to re-

gre t t ha t I have blindly accepter such privileges and advan tages , while many o thers — some who need them despera te ly — have been excluded f rom these experi-ences. I have seen — again ana aga in — tha t a sorori ty systen. intensifies, r a the r than broadens, personali t ies .

We must , I believe, make a def-inite a t t empt to find a way iii which we can capture the good soror i t ies offer without encounter-ing the evil. The organizat ion of ano ther society — f ree fo r all — would only add to the jumble of >

our campus life. No ser ious- think- , ing, honest- to-goodness "Independ-e n t " would join an organizat ion in- 1

tended to compensate for that which she has — by her own choice rejected. Beyond these, it would , amount to those left out and then only fo r a t ime — as they, too,! would soon become "choosey" and dissatisfied with only " l e f t o v e r s . " ' We'd merely have six instead of five of what we already have.

Our best solution can come only j with t ime, but I believe its begin- { nings a r e a l ready here. If Alpha Sigma Alpha continues a s it has j begun, it promises to be a g rea t | improvement over the separa t ions , spl i ts and indecision with which f r e s h m a n gir ls have a lways had to deal. Need these gir ls ever be in-

troduced to these hear taches and headaches? W h a t is more logical than t h a t Alpha Sigma Alpha should cont inue f o r f o u r years , and each new class of g i r l s f o r m a society, which will endure the i r en t i re fou r -yea r s t ay he re? T h a t would give Hope College f o u r uni ts — open to all c ampus g i r l s — f o r social and cul tura l developments , with all the possibili t ies of soror i ty life. The in ter-c lass f r i endsh ip of girls of d i f ferent ages — cer ta inly a valuable and beneficial pa r t of sorori ty life would have to be fos-tered by increased act ivi ty of sub-ject m a t t e r clubs, and all-college projec ts of W.A.L. and S tudent Council.

To those of us who love our sororit ies, th is seems hard and very difficult, I know, but we also know

tha t it will save untold hear tache and wrong in yea r s to come. In three years , such a sys tem could very well come to mean as much to Hope gir ls a s our sorori t ies do to us.

Other colleges a re da r ing to abol-ish soror i t ies — to get along with-out tha t which they know to be wrong and h a r m f u l . Do we a t Hope dare to do a s much?

To the Edi tor :

For the first t ime since my daugh te r s have been in college 1 have subscribed to the Hope Col-

lege ANCHOR. The second issue came a day or so ago. My eye was almost immediate ly a t t rac ted to the first editorial on the second page which was enti t led "Do you want soror i t ies . . ."

1 was somewhat surprised but immensely grat i f ied to find tha t there were some unde rg radua te s that have been th inking about th is problem of secret societies f rom the s tandpoin t of the Chris t ian College.

1 am a school teacher myself , in one of the urban high schools. Years ago in our city these so-

called Greek le t ter societies were banned f rom all the public schools. Since then the tendency has been

to use the Hi-Y Clubs fo r much the s ame purpose as the f o r m e r societies and the result has been identical as f a r a s thei r baneful influences a re concerned. If a sec-ular school sys tem has banned se-cret societies as undesirable, wha t place has this type of organiza-tion in a Chirs t ian college? I have been able to observe personal ly tha t t he re a re evils a t tached to this fo rm of c ampus set -up and I believe tha t the reci t ing of these evils is unnecessary at th i s point.

As f a r as the i r influence is con-cerned, there is Wheaton, which is la rger and richer and more influ-ential than Hope, but the i r wa i t ing list is impressive. As a suppor te r of my church school I hope tha t soon Hope may be able to increase her influence by dropping secret societies. In the long run Hope will be a happier place to live.

Cordially, an ANCHOR well wisher,

Probably by th i s t ime all the tu rkeys in the U. S. are feel ing sl ight ly s tu f fed and soon you all will be feel ing the same way. Let 's not be ea t ing too much. Remember college s t a r t s again on Monday.

As Bill Brandli would say "Busi-ness is dead," and the Yat i ta box is runn ing low on news. Even cupid has let us down. Of course Don Juan ParHons is still heading the list. Tha t man must have " je t -propel leJ a r rows" and owns his own manufac tu r i ng plant . I bet it isn't easy.

Barbara Van Dyke and Bill Brown were chosen "cuddle cou-ple" of the week, and Toni Fred-ricks and Marv Van Eyck ran a close second. ( T h a t ' s what you get for smil ing Toni.)

Mary Van Loo is sl ightly con-foozed. I t ' s just a ma t t e r of eenie-meenie-minie-mo. But s ta t i s t ics show, her heart still belongs to daddy.

Betty DeVnes was '•:[ some-

where in " the wide blue yonder" a couple week-ends ago. One never can tell what th ree hours in Ne-braska will do, All I can say is Hubba Hubba.

It was brother week last week and what could be bet ter . Paul Knap and Dick Lucking graced our campus and gave the co-eds an eye-ful l . Why doesn' t th is happen more of ten .

S t r a n g e things seem to be hap-

pening around th i s campus. All the f r e shmen gir ls a re moving out of the Nether lands Hotel and what you don' t see walk ing along the s t reet . Anyth ing f rom a walking depar tmen t s tore to a book shelf . Things izz really tough all over.

The 04$ question at Van Vleck • is, "Who dropped the phone late j one n i g h t — ? " Send your answers to the f i r s t floor inmates .

Ed Rater ing joined the r anks of I the "baHsinette boys" last week. | Congra tu la t ions fellow. Of course

it makes the rest of us seem out of vogue, but give us t ime.

Miss Ross can' t get over the new good-looking ?iiale faces t ha t ap-pear on the campus every day. All 1 can say is — W h e r e ? ? ? Then again we have the o ther side of the question. Bill Brooklyn "can ' t stand Roils. Not even New Joiaey Koils." (A quotation taken f rom the dinner table at which he was the only boy.) Can that boy run fas t .

Have a nice vacation all you col-lege "Yoyiex" It is short—but sweet. 1 (1 advise all you going Eas t

1 to ca r ry just one large suitcase. For one thing they ' re easier to sit on and it 's much easier than lug-g ing a medium suitcase, a small sui tcase, a hat-box, two coats, and a purse through Grand Central Sta-tion.

Aw Revoir.

THANKS BE TO GOD For the f r u i t s of labor, sun, and ra in , For t h e harvest of the golden gra in . Enough to store fo r the winter months . Thanks be to God.

For a t ab le bounteous with food. For the wonderful blessing of all t h ings good, We bow in prayer to thee and say, Thanks be to God,

For a home tha t in winter is warm No m a t t e r how outside it s torms. For ou r paren ts and our family ties. Thanks be to God.

For the beauteous ea r th t ha t thou gave . For the cross of Jesus our souls to save, In humble prayer we bow to thee. Thanks be to God.

Spotty's Views These past few months—to be

! exact , since Sept. 17 to Nov. 22, I've been leading a dop's life.

Have you ever been lying in your doghouse and peacefully dreaming of all types of delicious, juicy tid-bits only to be brought back to the gr im real i t ies of campus life by a loud wai l ing over Pyle w a y ? It was October, 1945, and Luella, that poor little kitten, had lost her mit-tens and her pocketbook and didn't know where to find them. Hut sud-denly, with a cloud of dust and a hear ty "Hi, hon I" wolf Vriesman was to the rescue and together they ventured fo r th , with "Much Ado About Noth ing" in search of the ar t icles .

Hut t ha t ' s only one oi the many bones I have to pick with college life, and I may as well lay my cards on the table (in the manner of speaking of course) . Have you ever been walking all by yourself in the f r e sh night a i r and t ry ing to enjoy nature and the beauties of the campus (and you may quote me as say ing tha t there a re sev-eral outs tanding beauties here) when suddenly you are face to face with Cal and Kennedy. They a re presumably enjoying the cam-pus beauties , but I noticed tha t Mr. Kennedy was especially engrossed in the te rm in its s ingular sense.

Not to change the subject im-mediately but fo r three months now I've patiently watched the Van Vleck Vampires hup, two, three , four on the i r way to mess, and each day the process has been the same. Combing curls on the way to b reakfas t , combing hair on the way to lunch, and combing s t ra igh t hair on t h e way to din-ner. Me thought pe rmanen t s were invented for s i tuat ions like that .

Last week-end, with a click of her heels, a snappy salute, and a hear ty "Pv t . Felt on report ing. Sir I" Lt. Spotty, ( tha t ' s me) was at last shown the proper respect and I thank you Pvt . Felton from the bottom of my heart .

And now with Thanksgiving week-end a reali ty and no longer an abstract ion, I plan to rest my weary bones and with this renewed energy and s t r eng th , to continue

my campus life until Chr is tmas , at least.

Choir is on the a i r again, or was, Sunday, coast-to-coast. Some hook-up. eh? Everyone was so scared of tha t little "mike ," Mrs. Snow could see our faces as one. That scared her, too! It 's an inter-es t ing experience, this broadcast-ing, and we jus t eat it up.

(Jlee Club serenaded the high school Tuesday morning, with the Gypsy number and the ever popu-lar " S t a r d u s t " as par t of the pro-gram. The only trouble we had was t ry ing to keep the practice teachers f rom waving to their stu-dents.

The t radi t ional Chr is tmas Ves-per will be held the second Sunday in December; so t ry and keep an hour f ree on this special Sunday a f te rnoon, and come to the chapel. This hour of music is a lways one of the loveliest presenta t ions of the year , with the Chr is tmas at-mosphere lending its beauty to the occasion.

The concert series goes on. The next organ recital will be J a n u a r y 15 at the Fi rs t Park Congregat ion-al Church in Grand Kapids, in case anyone would care to hear this series.

Who's Got The Pumpkin? Pumpkin , pumpkin, who's go t the p u m p k i n ? Another line a s corny

as t ha t and we'll ge t the raspberr ies , t ha t ' s f o r sure. But g e t t i n g back to the subject on hand, we f ind tha t the soul of the lowly jacko- lan tern who held the spot l ight jus t 21 days ago, and today is t h e fo rgo t t en man, has t r a n s m i g r a t e d into t ha t s t eaming delicious pumpkin pie. So j u s t follow your noses little chillens

Looking into Webster , we found punkin, ( t a s t e good, Dan ie l ? ) to be a large, round gourd-l ike edible f ru i t . We tr ied to f ind pumpkin-head in the dict ionary too, bijt words fai led them.

Looking into folk-lore we see where the pumpkin played a m a j o r role. Remember Pe te r ? He built a house f rom a pumpkin, and it was mighty cute. If it struck your fancy, too, plans may be got ten by wr i t ing to the Anchor in care of "Household Goods and Furn ish ings . "

All we'd need a pumpkin house f o r is e f fec t , because we pract ical ly live in one, the coldness I mean, in case I was too subtle. But real ly Van Vleck is so cold tha t we can' t see beyond our brea th to know where we are going.

Cinderella had a pumpkin, too, and combat ing the pr ior i ty problem she got her new buggy by the mere wave of a wand. But I can ' t ima-gine it would be much fun s i t t ing in a pumpkin a t midnight . Would i t ? or would i t ?

Pumpkin, we're r ight back where we s ta r ted , a lot of blow and no pie. And a lot hungr ier , too. The radio is p laying "When You Wish Upon a S t a r Your Dreams Come True ," but "I wish, I wish, I wish," and tha t "old fee l ing" is still in my stomach.

Well we must leave pumpkins, pumpkin pies, and pumpkin heads (Hi, Ryps t ra , how ya doin '?) and f igure out how to make tha t t r a in fo r Chr is tmas vacation and not take any cuts in your classes. See you next Monday kids if I survive those seven pieces of pie I 'm going to eat . And don't th ink I can' t do i<:. "I wish, I wish, I wish!"

Sororities Disband At Hendrix College

Conway, Ark. (ACP) Sorori t ies of Hendrix College voted to dis-band all social sororit ies. Three of the four sorori t ies voted to disband unanimously; the other by a large major i ty .

The ma t t e r arose th is fall when a group of gir ls r ep resen t ing all tour sororit ies, were discussing the problem of unclean politics and the change of f r iendly a tmosphere on the campus to one of a clan-ish spirit brought on grea t ly by soror i ty r ivalry.

A f t e r h i t t ing on this subject and the idea of disbanding other soror-ity members were called on to ex-press thei r opinion. The fee l ing seemed to be the same throughout the group.

The news spread quickly over the campus. Regular meet ings of the sorori t ies were held and this topic was the main discussion. Plans were made for each soror i ty to meet and voice f o r or aga ins t disbanding.

IN DIGESTION By Elaine Bielefeld

Thanksgiving — 1945 will find thankful Hopites enjoying the vast amount of blessings which are ours. Food, clothing, homes, education, and above all fa i th and peace — t h e s e are ours today. And yet, mid all this, we find the world about us — our world — steeped in chaos. Lest we forget —

Across the seas we discover the Russo-Chinese situation as being "on edge." Chinese Communists and Nationalist forces are striving for China's richest terr i tory — Manchuria. Relations between Chungking and Moscow may change if a belief is con-f i r m e d — that of Russia's aufmg Chinese Communists to enter solidly into Manchuria. With some 50,000 American Marines sta-tioned in North China for patrol purposes Lt. Gen. A. C. Wede-meyer has informed Gen. Chiang Kai-Shek and Communist leader, Chou En-Lai, that "appropr ia te act ion" will be taken if a t tacks on the Marines continue. These a t tacks have centered about a Communist-held city. Let us hope against an extensive civil war in China.

At the recent Truman-Att lee-King conference aboard the Se-quoia it was suggested by Attlee tha t the atomic bomb secret be shared with the members of the United Nations Security Council providing all fu ture scientific information would be given, and Russia would state its political objectives and terr i torial aims. However, it was recommended a commission be set up under the United Nations organization to work toward "entirely eliminat-ing the use of atomic energy for destructive purposes and pro-moting its widest use for industrial and humanitar ian purposes."

Washington is buzzing with talk and opinions concerning the

merger of the services — Army and Navy, Gen. " Ike" is endors-ing such a proposal heartily. Lt. Gen. James Doolittle has super plans fo r the independent air force which is a par t of the pro-posal. Then, too, in Washington as in practically every city in the U. S., families are being separated, folks are doubling up, and the situation promises to be worse. It 's the terr i f ic housing problem. One returned veteran, a school superintendent, moved into the classroom. It was strictly temporary of course,

This is the news.

WOMEN'S SPORTS By Ike

A t long last—it 's he re ! ! Yes teams for volleyball have been formed and they began play Tues-day night. Laughter over those "good" plays served as a fine med-ium to a swell time for all present.

With so few of the gals in top condition, the winning team in the tournament is anybody's guess. Sure—I have my favori te—but then so do the gir ls on the other teams. Who wants to lose?!?

To date there are five teams called numbers one, two, three, four , and five! Do you like the originality? (If not get your own name! Yeh! ! ! There a re 15 girls on each team (except for team number five—but by this time they probably have increased their num-ber.)

Team number one is made up of Norma Albers, Phyl Andre, Lois Austine, Ike Demain, Ann Fiske, Connie Hinga, Rozy Scholten, and Gerry Scheerens. Others on the team are Betty Timmer, Hazel Vander Woude, Betty Vande Wege, Shirley Visser, Marcella Wester-man, Betty Weaver, and Arlene Wieten.

The girls on team number two are Joanne Biddle, Marjorie Brew-er, Viv Dykema, Virginia Hemmes, Laura Johnson, Alida Kloosterman,

and Katherine Lock. Besides these a re Carol Prigge, Peggy Prins, Luella Pyle, Ruth Ruys, Lil Sik-kema, Mary Vande Wege, Alice Van Egdon, and Midge Voss.

Team three is composed of Mar-ion Dame, Betty DeRyk, Marcia De Young, Marion Hanna, Regina Jensen, Marjorie Maurer, Margare t Metten, and Pinks Mulder. More on the team are Katherine Pons-tine, Nellie Mae Ritsema, Theresa Staal , Je re Uppleger, Freda Van Bergen, Tommie Van Leeuwen and Bernice Veeneman.

Alice De Boom, Phyl Dietrich, Rosemary Finlaw, Harr iet Hains, Ike Heemstra , Carol Ingham and Dorothy Lievense are par t of team four. Eleanor Rubingh, Marian Slinn, Marion Te Ronde, Ike Van der Heuvel, Pauline Veining, Phyl Voss, Jean Watson and Phyllis Weenink make up the rest of the team.

The next group is incomplete so

there 's still a chance for interested

girls to get in the play. Already

on the team are Jeane t te Doers-

man, Helene Duesler, Jeanne Ek-

ma. Dot Huizinga, Shirley Knowl, Grace Langley, Phyllis Mulder, Anna Marie Talman, and Mary Van Loo.

Did You Say Green? To begin with I've always loved

green and it's been my favorite color. Everything I like is green. In the spr ing, the leaves come out, grass is green and green shoots come out of the ground. My room is done in green wallpaper, I've got a green billfold and money is green. My new formal is dark green, my favori te cotton dress is green.

BUT— that was before I came to college and to the inglorious role of a f reshman! As if we didn't feel green enough at being so dumb, we had it impressed on us by being given green pots! And now that terrible six weeks is a t an end. You know, nothing gave me greater pleasure than burning it in the fire Monday night—and even then it gave off green smoke!

Now I'm no longer a " f rosh" but

just a plain co-ed!

However, we're rid of those

things; and now, with my intelli-

gent face, you won't be able to tell

me from an upperclassman. (Short

pause while we all laug^j.) (Thank

you.) Anyway, I've changed my

mind about green. Tha t hor-rid chair in our living room t h a t

hasn' t any springs is green; pois-

on ivy is green and so is spinach.

That horrid shirt tha t mom makes me wear is green, and the day he told me I flunked Math, I had on my green sweater. Tha t fellow from Grand Haven who stood me up had a green car and hey! I'm s ta r t ing to turn green around the edges! You know I think I like purple best of all

THE KIBITZER . . by Kantcn

Another issue, another Kibitzer . . . Coincidence isn't it . . . I 've got lots to ra t t le on to you about this week . . . I t seems as though th ings on the campus are picking up . . . Speaking of things, and aren ' t we always, the highlight in the campus sports p rogram a t present is the basketball practice a t Carnegie . . . A lot of fo rmer basketball s ta r s of Holland and other high schools, and other colleges, a r e out fo r the team . . . One of these said cagers became a proud papa a little while back . . . Congratula-tions, Raterink . . . Thanks for the cigar . . . eough, cough . . . Speaking of smoking, there seems to be a little smoke around the History Prof ' s daughter and a certain basketball hopeful whenever they are toge ther . . . Speaking of hopefuls, describes the potential members of Tri-Alpha who.hoped to live through informal initiation . . . . . . Everyone lived through it to become ful l f ledged members of Tri-Alpha . . Thank heaven tha t ' s over . . . Speaking of being over remind me of the other day when Hoekinga's temper ran over and h took it out on the Basketball . . . Uh, uh, temper, t emper . . Also speaking of th ings over and past reminds me that a membe of the f reshmen class has passed f rom our campus life to a new and more f ru i t fu l one . . . Chest out! . . . Shoulders back! . Chin up! . . . Stomach in! . . . K.P. the rest of this week! . This is the army Meidema . . . Yes, one of our s ta r cornsters has lef t our midst . . . Speaking of corn reminds me of a li t t le item in which Peggy Pr ins thought up in Bible the other day . . . I quote . . . "How can you tell a Dutchman? If they are Dutch you can see the tul ips growing out of their ea r s " . . . Speaking of ears and they being what you hear with . . . The hear ing of bashful ( ? ) escorts is great ly impaired when they call fo r their dates over a t Beach Cottage . . . Why ? . . . Could it be due to the slightly off-key serenading of the inmates of said house on the hill? . . . Well, it is a possibility . . . No offense, girls, i t 's really beautiful . . . O.K. Joldersma, p j t down tha t gun . . . Besides Jan , you know how embarrass ing it is to the girl — and the fella . . . Speaking of embarrassment . . . did some of the g i r l s that slept ( ? ) a t Beach the other night ever feel like a penny wait ing for change, when they found out that the f i re drill was only practice . . . "Quick, my valuable? . . . Not my money, you dope, my lipstick and HIS picture" . . . Speaking of valuables . . . A valuable, and the only, contact with the outer world at Van Vleck, the telephone, was literally ripped up and out by an over-anxious girl . . . Speaking of r ipping out . . . We've noticed that a lot of the fellows tha t have been limping around the campus . . . Don't worry . . . No war casualties, just some of the fellows f inding out that basketball is a little hard on their feet . . ,

. . . so as Schuller said to Judy the other n igh t . . . Par t ing is such sweet sorrow . . . Hubba, Hubba . . . Well, I've rat t led to my word limit, so for now, I remain your obedient Kibitzer . . .
