Lieut. Alden G. Alley, lecturer fo r the Association for the Pre-vention of World War, f o rmer pro-fessor of His tory a t Dana College,

Newark, N. J., and world traveler , addressed the s tudent body last Wednesday morning dur ing the

third hour on "Hi t le r and His Ef -fect on America."

He first contras ted the a t t i tude of the young Germans of today, with their derisive Nazi songs, to the a t t i tude ten years ago when war was hated and Germany was blaming itself for the world si tua-tion. The speaker a t t r ibuted the cause of this " t rag ic change" to

Hitler and his "demoniac skill" at playing upon the German people's resentment at being the "slave of

Europe," and upon their desire for " the glory of the Vater land."

Af t e r he had compared the world to a small neighborhood, Lieut. Alley said, "You can' t put CO mil-lion people of the German type in their present f r a m e of mind with-out danger to the whole world."

As a solution for this recurr ing militaristic spir i t , and as an aid

in helping nat ions to control their relations with one another as they have controlled wars within their own f ront iers , he proposed the cre-

ation of inst i tut ions of law and the t ra in ing of public opinion to make the law effective.

He s ta ted tha t the public opinion of nations must ha r e more democ-racy and less ar rogance , more clear vision of o thers and less over-esti-mation of self. "This task of edu-cating the public opinion," he con-

cluded, "is a task that challenges all humane, intelligent men today and is one that demands endur ing courage."

Women's Debate Club Organizes

MISS ME'ITA ROSS ACTS AS COACH AND ADVISER

The d rama class has chosen fo r its annual production a play by

Pied Ballard, Ladies of the Jury . 1 he play will be given in the early-part of March under the direction of Mrs. W. H. Durfee, professor of dramat ics at Hope.

The ent i re plot of the play. Ladies of the Jury , is concerned with the trial of Mrs. Gordon for the murder of her husband. The entangled affairs of the six men

and six women on the ju ry dur ing the three days and two nights spent in the ju ry room are most inter-esting.

Announcements of the t ry-outs for the twen ty - four charac ters of the play will be given by Mrs. Durfee some time this week.

The Sophomore class will hold its annual winter pa r ty this week Friday night at 7:15 P.M., J a n u a r y 19, at the Virginia Park skat ing rink. This par ty has been planned in response to the popular demand for this type of en te r ta inment .

Ralph Danhof, chairman, Mina Becker, Betty Goehner, and Ivan Roggen are the members of the committee in charge of the ar-

rangements . Vera Damstra will take charge of re f reshments , John Henderson will t ake care of the publicity work, and James Weurd-ing will a r r ange t ranspor ta t ion fo r the outside s tudents .

Pa r ty plans include a grand march, a hockey game, a balloon race, and several other contests. The committee has secured an or-chestra for the evening. The par ty will begin at 7:15 P.M. and stu-dents who can provide or need t ranspor ta t ion are to meet in f ront of the chapel at 7:15 P.M. Admis-

sion to the par ty will be 35 cents, which must be paid to David La-

man or Ruth Fisher before the s tudents will be admitted to the party.

The commit tee has d(cided to permit members of the class to in-vite fr iends, o ther than sopho-mores to accompany them to the par ty . Guests, however, a re also required to pay t he regular admis-sion price. The committee has

ri^ade a r r a n g e m e n t s for an a t tend-ance of sixty s tudents .

Miss Shirley Payne and Miss Agnes Tysse have agreed to serve as ska t ing godmothers for the eve-ning.

* LO BAGOLA7 »

So many stories have been circulat ing on the campus

about La Bagola, the remark-able man who spoke to us late-ly, tha t the "Anchor" would like to take this opportuni ty of calling a t tent ion to them. Among other d isparagements , some people have gone so f a r as to s ta te quite openly tha t he is a f r aud in claiming to be an ex-Afr ican bushman. No

reputable au thor i ty on Africa has made this s ta tement , and such a highly-respected maga-

zine as Scribner 's has contain-ed his own life story (March-July, October, 1929.) It is the duty of a newspaper to be im-part ial , so we suggest that s tudents be more open-minded about such stories, and before criticising the man read, if possible, either the Scribner 's articles or his book.

The supporters of forensic activities can look with grati-fication on the efforts of several students at Hope to revive j interest in women's debate. Hope was recently forced to withdraw from the women's debate activities of the Michigan Intercollegiate Speech League because of the lack of student participation in this work. It certainly is regrettable t ha t Hope was forced to surrender an internationally recognized activity for such an ignominious reason. Such an action must stand as an indictment of the aims and ideals ot oui women students. Participation in the cultural activities of the college is always a mark of a scholarly, sincere college snirit A deterioration of such a spirit can promise no good , . . r , s p u i u rv u c l c i , Jus t a bit more of encouragement

Showing g rea t scoring power, the Hope basketball five defeated Cen-tral S ta te Teachers ' College 42-16 on the A r m o r y floor fo r the second

The Orange and Blue got off to a fas t s t a r t and held a 21 to 4 ad-vantage a t half t ime. This lead was easily maintained dur ing the second period. Not only a good percentage of the floor shots found their m a r k , but also ten out of

eleven a t t e m p t s f r o m the f r ee throw line connected.

Ten Hope players broke into the scoring column, but Teed Van Zan-den, ve te ran guard , led with nine points, as well as p laying a fine

defensive game, while the forwards , Len Stef fens and Gerald Nykerk, chalked up eight and seven points respectively. Ken Vande Velde, subs t i tu te center, caused some ex-citement with a sensational one-handed shot f r o m side court.

Hope Wins First Conference Tilt

On Local Court OLIVET COMETS SUCCOMB AS

NYKERK GOES ON SCOR-ING S P R E E

Before a capacity crowd, Hope opened the M.I.A.A. basketball sea-son at the Armory court J a n u a r y

5 with a 31-29 upset victory over the Olivet Comets.

The Congregat ional representa-tives came to Holland with a vet-eran team, including such capable pe r fo rmers as Kane and Arthurs , playing at the forwards . On their

last previous visit to Holland, which was the la t te r par t of last season when they were holding first place in the conference, Coach Sprandel 's

team suffered a decisive defeat from Hope and thus lost the M.I.A.A. championship. This year, the same team, except Milankov, returned and were favor i tes in the race for title, until their recent defeat by Hope, and now the Dutchmen loom as a s t rong con-tender.

GAME FROM H I N G A M E N FRIDAY N I G H T

In a hard fought game at Burton Heights gym in Grand Rapids, Hope lost i ts second basketball game of the season to i ts old rival, Calvin, 29-20. •

The Orange and Blue s tar ted fas t with Nykerk caging an under-basket shot followed by a midcourt deuce of Van Zanden. These com-bined with another basket by Ny-kerk on an out-of-bounds play, gave Hope the lead for a short time, but De Groot, Calvin guard, sank three shots in rapid succession to give the Grand Rapids team the lead, which they held fo r a 14-9 score at half t ime.

A nice floor game was displayed by the Hingamen dur ing the first half , but they were quite unsuc-cessful in locating the basket. Feik-

Ferr is Inst i tute gained ample re-venge for a defeat suffered at the hands of the Dutchmen a week be-fore, by downing Hope College 27-25. A f t e r leading almost the entire game, the Dutch fal tered and a sustained second half rally in which the Bulldogs garnered 14 points while holding Hope to 7 points, was s t rong enough to overcome the lead Hope had taken. This victory gives Ferr is an even break with the Hope (juintet for the season, each having won one game.

Coach Hinga 's men left the floor at the intermission with a lead of 18 to 13. Hope was able to hold this lead until the final minutes of play when two goals in a row by

Cole, Fer r i s center, and Ransberry, guard , sewed up the game for Ferr is .

Fi tzpatr ic , Bulldog forward, was the high scorer of the game with 10 points. Nykerk and Kors tan je shared honors fo r Hope, each scor-ing 6 points. Van Zanden, Hope

guard, turned in a fine defensive game.

In one of the most thri l l ing bas-ketball games ever played on the local court, Hope College edged out Michigan Normal of Ypsilanti , 31 to 30. The bat t le was nip and tuck all the way, the lead changing nu-merous t imes, until wi th seconds to play and the score tied, Nykerk was fouled, and succeeded in win-ning the ball game by dropping in one f r ee throw.

During the first half each team matched basket for basket , but the Hurons cashed in on one more foul shot to take the lead a t the half^ 16-15. The second half kept t h e crowd on its fee t as the t e a m s fought point f o r point. With only minutes to play, the Dutchmen jumped into a four-point lead, which looked like enough to win the game. But Haidt , fo rward , and Hanneman, center, proceeded to make th ings in teres t ing by each dropping in a deuce, ty ing up the game at 30 all.

Such was the s tage f o r the cli-max put on by Nykerk, Hope s t a r forward , as he stepped up to take two" f ree tosses. The crowd was tense as he missed ^the first shot , but Nykerk calmly made good the second a t t empt , which won the game, as the gun sounded before play could be resumed again .

Hope looked exceptionally s t rong on offense with Nykerk leading t he a t tack with 9 points. Dirkse, Huron guard, and Van Zanden, Hope guard, both tu rned in good defen-sive games.

We passed through alleys of ap-palling dir t iness ; we beheld men pawing over foul piles of garbage

All were ushered into a beautiful old-fashioned garden decorated with Japanese lanterns . In one se-cluded corner Sorosites Helena Vis-
