Church Leaders

Conference The pre-arrangements program

for the Conference of Reformed Church Leaders held on campus April 3, 4 and 5, were completed, according to Rev. William Hilmert , Chairman of the Program Com-mittee.

The 250 delegates were con-fronted with the problems facing Hope as the centennial approaches and were given the opportunity to suggest ways and means of meet-ing them.

On Friday, April 3, at an even-ing dinner-meeting, delegates were welcomed by students, faculty, the mayor of Holland, and the Board of Trustees. Dr. Marion de Velder, President of the General Synod of the Reformed Church, spoke about Hope College f rom the church's viewpoint a f t e r which Dr. Lubbers, President of the college, spoke on the fu tu re of the college.

Saturday morning, April 4, Dr. Lubbers and Dr. Bernard Mulder, Executive Secretary of the Re-formed Church Board of Educa-tion, informed the delegates of the specific problems and challenges of the second century. Two problems were pin-pointed: How can Hope College bet ter serve the church? and How can the church bet ter serve Hope College?

On Saturday afternoon, divided into ten discussion groups, a t -tempted to answer the posed ques-tions. Later the groups recon-vened to report on their findings.

Present Student Counci l O f f i ce rs Discuss

Responsib i l i t ies, Duties of Their Jobs by Dick Brockmeier and

Isla Van Eenenaam Perhaps on first glance, the du-

ties of the Student Council Pres-ident appear to be mainly tha t of presiding a t Student Council meet-ings which are held a t the f re -quency of about once every two weeks, while tha t of the vice-president is to preside in the ab-sence of the chief executive. How-ever, such a duty is only a par t of the entire range of the president 's and vice-president's responsibili-ties as revealed in the Student Council definition of their duties and privileges:

Article V; Section 1: The President shall: preside at

all regular and special meetings of the council; have the authority to call special meetings at his dis-cretion; represent the council to the student body, faculty, and ad-ministration when necessary; ap-point, jointly with the vice-presi-dent and with the advice and con-sent of the council, the student members to all Faculty-Student and Student-Faculty committees; appoint all student council stand-ing and special committees; and be responsible for the execution of all policies and programs of the student council.

Article V; Section 2: The vice-president shall: assume

the duties of the president during the absence of the president; suc-ceed to the presidency in the event of the death, resignation, removal from office, or termination of stu-dies of the president; be respon-

sible for initiating action on all council programs and policies.

In order to fulfill these duties, the president and vice-president must have had previous exper-ience; the constitution requires previous experience on e i t h e r Hope's council or another school's in case of a t r ans fe r s tudent (al-though exceptions may be made by unanimous consent of the student council executive board.) In ad-dition to this invaluable previous experience, the two officers-elect must carefully orientate and pre-pare themselves to the task ahead before their re turn to the campus in the fall. The officers mus t be-come completely famil iar with the financial, administrative, and the programming aspects of the coun-cil before their term begins be-cause so much of the council's responsibility falls on them in the early par t of the year until the council as a whole becomes exper-ienced with its purpose and re-sponsibilities. Before September, the president and vice-president must see tha t various committees are organized fo r action without the aid of the entire council as the council will not have an opportu-nity to meet before some of these committees are to begin function-ing — Registration, the All Col-lege Mixer Par ty , F reshman Or-ientation, the Pull, etc. all occur in the early weeks of school.

Although th president and vice-president are not supposed to do the actual work of the committees, the effectiveness and success of

the committee's project depends to an important extent on the of-ficers' abilities in making careful and wise choices for the chairmen of these committees. The two of-ficers must see tha t the commit-tee's work is progressing sat isfac-torily and is coordinated with the other programs.

Many requirements for the pres-ident and vice-president have not been mentioned, not because they are insignificant relative to the rest, but because we are all well aware of them. Examples are: 1) a good knowledge of R o b e r t's Rules of Order, Revised and an ability to conduct good student council meetings, 2) ability to make a good presentation when meetings campus guests, school ad-ministrators, and the student body, 3) alertness to the campus condi-tions and a closeness to the stu-dent body, 4) ability to size-up a situation quickly and initiate ac-tion if necessary, 6) knowledge of the organization of the entire col-lege—both student organizations and the college administrative or-ganization, and 7) ability to or-ganize and carry out long range plans.

The president and vice-president of next year's council will assume many responsibilities. The Student Council will make important de-cisions, many of which will effect each of you. It is in your hands to choose competent leaders to carry out these decisions and plans in a conscientious, enthusiastic manner.

Peale, Kresge To Be Campus Guests

Holland, Michigan — Stanley S. Kresge, business leader and phil-anthropist, and Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, prominent clergyman and author, will visit Holland on Wednesday, April 22nd, as guests of Hope College.

Through the cooperation of the recently organized Hope College Community Council, both men will address a public meeting tha t eve-ning a t the Civic Center.

Dr. Irwin J. Lubbers, President of the college, said Mr. and Mrs. Kresge and Dr. and Mrs. Peale will arrive in the city by motor car on April 22nd. They will be guests at the Lubbers' home on the col-lege campus during their overnight visit.

Kresge is Vice-chairman of the Board of the S. S. Kresge Com-pany, and President of the Kresge Foundation. He is a t rustee of the Metropolitan Methodist Church in Detroit and has served in many additional capacities.

Dr. Peale is among the best-k n o w n contemporary ministers through his writ ings and his f re-quent public appearances through-out the United States. He is min-ister of the Marble Collegiate Church on Fi f th Avenue in New York, where he preaches to over-flow crowds of 3,000 and 4,000 at two services every Sunday morn-ing.

Both men, in addition to their other accomplishments, are noted for their interest and accomplish-ments on behalf of higher educa-tion. On their visit here they will speak from their broad experience in this field, with part icular em-phasis upon the mutual benefits that derive from a closer under-standing between the college and the community.

"This is surely one of the out-standing events of the year for Hope College and for Holland," said Dr. Lubbers. "To have either of our distinguished guests visit

us would be honor enough. But to have both men leave their many responsibilities even fo r one day so they may bring us their insight and inspiration is an exceptional tr ibute to our community."

The visitors will be welcomed to the campus and the city at a re-ception and tea at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Lubbers Wednesday af ternoon, April 22nd. College faculty will be present.

The evening meeting at the Civic Center will present Kresge and Dr. Peale to Holland in a program of commentary and music. There will be no admission charge.

Some 2,500 tickets fo r the meet-ing have been distributed by the Hope College Community Council to churches, the school system. Chamber of Commerce, and other channels. Individual council mem-bers also have limited quantit ies of tickets.

Preceding the public meeting, the visitors will be honored a t a dinner in the Terrace Room of Durfee Hall. Approximately 150 persons will at tend as guests of the college.

Guests will include Mr. and Mrs. Kresge, Dr. and Mrs. Peale, Dr. and Mrs. Lubbers, officials of the Kresge Co. in Western Michigan, the executive committee of the col-lege, the Board of Trustees, Coun-cil members, their wives, and friends.

Illumination Night On April 17

by Nancy Sonneveldt Something new has been added to campus activities at Hope Col-

lege! On Friday, April 17, WAL will sponsor its first "Illumination Night." This program which will consist of campus talent, is to be held in the Pine Grove, weather permitting.

The evening will be culminated by the announcement of the win-ners of the student body elections for President and Vice-President of the Student Council for the school year 1959-60. Their installation will also take place at that time. The program will follow the various fraternity and sorority business meetings and will take the place of their literary meetings.

Judy Kuiper and Sandy Sargisson are in charge of decorations, and Mary Van Koevering is chairman of the entertainment committee. WAL is asking for the cooperation of each fraternity and sorority on campus to support the program and make their first annual "Illumina-tion Night" a big success.

Editorials

Preparing for Elections Take advantage of the weekend, friends, to res t up for the hard

campaign ahead. Af t e r Monday you will be in the midst of the root-in'-tootin'est, noisiest, and most colorful week of the whole year. For two days we'll be subjected to the heaviest bombardment of litera-ture , hot air , gee-gaws, pla t form planks, and other multicolored and multi tudinous types of propaganda weapons tha t this campus has ever seen.

Whose ideas will be the a r t fu l decorations under which our dining tables will groan, and which will smite us in the eye every t ime we enter a building? Why those of the busy beavers, alias campaign managers , who with their Student Council and class officer candidates, have spent all spring vacation working up inspiration. But my good-ness, you say, they gave up their vacation to bring a little novelty into our lives? Whatever fo r ? Aha, there 's the catch! These cam-paign managers want our votes fo r their candidates. It 's still t rue t ha t you can' t get something fo r nothing.

So tha t ' s why we say catch your breath this weekend or it'll soon be too late. Before the hullabaloo s ta r t s and your thoughts aren ' t your own spend a few minutes thinking about what these elections mean for Hope College and most particularly us, its students. We shall be voting fo r a Student Council President and Vice President and fo r class presidents who next year will lead our student govern-ment.

The choice between candidates is a hard one. Each will be supply-ing us with their "pla t forms," all very worthy to be sure and yea long besides. Read them carefully, but keep reality in mind. No can-didate can make Hope College into Shangri-la in one year. Behind the plati tudes of pla t form and speeches may be worthy ideals. That is f o r us to choose.

Along with programs goes the realization t ha t we must know jus t what we are looking fo r in the part icular officers we are elect-ing. Consider the successful candidate fo r Student Council President and Vice President f o r example. Do we realize t ha t they will be re-garded by everyone they come in contact with outside Hope College as personifications of the Hope College s tudent? Who would you want representing you?

Right here on campus too, class and Student Council officers play a big role. They are the link between us, their fellow students, and the administration. This is an important job to have. Student Coun-cil election week is the time to assure ourselves of effective student leadership next year. In looking back a t recent events like the Stu-dent Council disposal of the All-College Sing problem and its action (or inaction) regarding a basketball Glory Day fo r us to honor our team, we see vivid examples of what par t a Student Council can play in our college government. Strong leadership a t crucial moments is vitally important if the s tudent body wants a share in such decisions mentioned above.

During campaign week it is hard not to get carried away by a high-sounding "pla t form," a fistfull of lollipops, or a f ra te rn i ty or sorority affiliation. I t ' s hard to make objective choices between can-didates in such situations. We must remember, however, tha t how we vote next week will determine how much we ourselves will be get t ing out of student government next year.

Let 's not have the balloting be the end though. The successful candidates will be only too glad to get all the help they can f rom us to create the student government we want and need.

Student council met on March 23, 1959. In the absence of the presiden, Pete Bmoc, the meeting was called to order by the janitor . This lasted fo r about th i r ty sec-onds at the end of which t ime Pete Bmoc arrived, slightly t ipsy a f t e r a session with the Unamerican Ac-tivities Committee.

The secretary, X (name withheld on request) , called fo r all old busi-ness. A motion was made and sec-onded. Another motion was made and seconded. A third motion was made and seconded a f t e r which the President, Lef ty Macgooch, sug-gested tha t a committee be set up to investigate conformity in the student council. The secretary, Shirley W i l r — ( O o p s ! ) (Name withheld on request) pointed out tha t this constituted a four th mo-tion, and also tha t the president was not allowed to make motions anyway.

Af te r singing a few stanzas of "The Old Dope Peddler" to restore morale. The council recessed fo r tea and crumpets in the Blue Room. Upon the return of the North Polar Expedition half an hour later. Council resumed. The honorable senator f rom A l p h a Omega Oompah suggested tha t since it was now three months af-te r Christmas, and the planning committee fo r the annual Christ-mas p a r t y had disbanded two months ago without having accom-plished anything, tha t the Publici-ty Committee also be relieved of its duties in order to prevent fu r -ther rioting among the students.

The esteemed senator f rom Eta Sappho Nu protested tha t in her opinion the publicity committee was doing a fine job and t h a t she had learned f rom a reliable in-formant t ha t said committee had three t rukfu l s of posters and was negotiating with the local print-ing company to raise production quotas. The first mentioned sen-ator turned pale and collapsed.

At this point, the t reasurer in-quired as to the cost of the post-ers, but in view of the tragic death of the most respected sen-a tor f rom Alpha Omega Oompah, it was decided to table this busi-ness until Thanksgiving. The sen-ator f rom Gamma Ipsilon Bed, leering a t the t reasurer , asked fo r the financial report. Bracing her-self with a stiff Scotch, the treas-urer stood up and gave the follow-ing repor t :

Student Council Par ty , $600; All-School Par ty , $28.13; Mimeograph-ed sheets of Student Council Min-utes, $10; Fee to Trashman for hauling away mimeographed Min-utes of Student Council Meeting, $48.95; Bill fo r new fireplace in Council Room, $250; Glasses fo r throwing into fireplace, $85.00.

Total expenditures, $1,032.11 — Cash on Hand, $28.13, Donations by Teamsters Union, $903.88 — Balance, $000.00.

The new president, Horace Hor-enstein II, suggested tha t a let ter be sent to the dean of students, Horace Horenstein I, commending him for the excellent job f o r his excellent disciplinary action the day before in throwing five stu-dents in irons who were caught stealing food f rom the cafeteria. In the course of the ensuing dis-cussion, i t was discovered t h a t the student body had not had anything to eat f o r two weeks and a motion was made and seconded tha t a committee be formed to investi-gate conformity in the student body.

A slight disturbance was caused when the senator f rom B'nai B'rith inadvertently clamped his teeth down on the wrist of the senator f rom Frui tpor t , and amid profuse .

Report From Washington By Alberta Litts

I didn't expect it to be interest-ing—the Senate Sub-Committee on Labor Activities—but a f r iend had got ten James Riddle Hoffa's auto-graph there the day before and was yearning for more excitement so off we went.

Instead of the dingy smokefilled cell I had expected, we entered a dazzling marble-pillared room, complete with chandeliers and heavily carved tables. At these tables sat the prominent Senators of the committee along with Jack Kennedy's spike-tongued brother as Subcommittee Counsel. Across f rom these men were the witness-es, who ranged from Hoffa and As-sociates to the intimidated victims. Blinding l ights and complicated movie equipment straggled along either side of the room, while the press, spectators, and a policeman or two set the stage.

In spite of Capitol Hill's spac-ious setting, the hearings failed to rise above detective story level. Dialogue ran TV style. . . .

"Do you remember having said 'such and such' on January 19, 1956 a t 4:00 P.M. to three men in court number 345?"

"No."

"You said i t ." "I don't remember." "Do you deny i t ? " "No."

— Silence —

"Look! All we are t ry ing to do is to show you tha t we are not put-t ing words into your mouth. Can't you cooperate?"

— Silence — "Can' t y o u ? ? ! " "I guess I said it ."

"I guess I said i t ." Wha t a feeble reply! American lives are being intimidated by n ightmare car rides, phone calls and guns poked into ribs. Businesses have been threatened with smashed machinery and counterfeit ing. The committee hearings I at tended are t ry ing to put an end to this through corrective legislation and instead of helping, some victims merely sweat and squirm and "Guess they said it ."

While America has been relax-ing, terror ism, like a craving vul-ture, has been eyeing America for moments of weakness in order to stuff i ts maw with s t rangl ing re-mains of American freedoms. These committee meetings are ex-citing because they suggest tha t America may be through napping. The Government is in the process of t ak ing preliminary steps to pro-tect American f reedoms and to s tarve organized crime through legislation. Unfor tunately , the meetings are also discouraging be-cause some Americans are a f ra id to fight for f reedom—perhaps be-cause it is difficult, involving sac-rifice. This too is unfor tuna te as gangster ism is as undemocratic and threa ten ing as is communism and may be fur thered through apathy or defeated by s t rength. You and I mus t provide the moral backing for fellow-Americans to defeat it, by pushing fo r laws which will insure an America of freedom. Then we must make sure the laws are enforced.

As the American f reedoms have been repatedly worked fo r in the past, so they must be fought fo r today and you and I can and must do it now.

Letter To The Editor Dear Editor:

Upon reading the March 6 issue of the Anchor, I became interested in the possibility of having the honor code become a pa r t of Hope College. In other colleges, not ne-cessarily church supported, this system has worked and worked well. As an example I use the University of I l l i n o i s Dental

School. This school is one of the four top dental schools in the na-tion and I feel its honor code is one of the reasons fo r this. Only one other dental school uses the honor code and it is also one of the top four. These two schools usually have even the lowest stu-dents of their respective classes place high in the national board exams. This is due to the at t i tude of the students toward their stu-dies which is encouraged by the honor code. No longer is the feel-ing tha t cheating is "cute" and something only the teacher should patrol, but now it is something looked down upon by the rest of the students. I t is much more de-

grading to a person if the rest of his classmates learn to know him or her as a cheater. If the offend-er is caught a warning should be given and upon the second offense be brought before the proper auth-orities. As with any system we need proper enforcement, and you as students should go along fo r another person's cheating only lowers your own grade.

Can you imagine the feeling of being t rusted in everything you do? Teachers are only in an ex-am room a few minutes to pass

albeit hoarse apologies and retch-ings on the par t of both senators, the meeting adjourned to the tune of Auld Lang Syne.

Respectfully Submitted, Richard J aa r sma

James Michmerhuizen

out and collect exams. You can leave the room for a cigaret te etc., as long as the exam does not enter in. This also gives you a feeling of responsibility and accomplish-ment when the exam is over and you have done your best, honestly.

Of course, the s tudents can make or break this system. No one wants to t u rn in a fellow class-mate, but you can always warn the offender first a f t e r positive knowledge of the act . I am sure no one will become your enemy if you use tact and as a fr iend advise the person of your knowledge of the offense.

The system now used at Hope and other schools without the hon-or code, is f o r f rom perfect . We know this by the amount of cheat-ing t ha t goes on, of which we are all aware. The only way we can stop this cheating is by teaching the s tudents honesty along with their respective courses. The hon-or code will be a s tep in the right direction and I am sure it will be an improvement over the system now used.

I have found also, much bet ter s tudent-facul ty r e l a t i o n s in a school using the honor code. The teacher is no longer a cop along with their other duties but now they can use their t ime f o r in-struction only. The robbing of exams will also stop in time if the s tudent is brought up in the en-vironment of honesty produced by the honor code. Stop and think, how much g rea te r the res t ra int f rom doing something is, if you know the person giving the com-mand t rus t s you completely.

I hope th is let ter will be pust another one of the immediate steps in the introduction of the honor code a t Hope. I t will tend to make Hope even a g rea te r school, if the best can be improved. Remember, "Honesty is the best policy."

I.R.C. Delegates Impressed by Exchange of Ideas, Hospitality

by Justine Dakin and

Lynne Prakken

At 4:30 A.M. last Fr iday morn-

ing, we tumbled out of bed and

into the cold, dark morning to

leave fo r the Midwest Conference

of Internat ional Relations Clubs at

Franklin College in Franklin, In-

diana. Upon reaching the campus

at noon, our five delegates, accom-

panied by Dr. Paul Fried, found

both the Frankl in College welcome

and the Southern Indiana weather

pleasantly warm.

The c o n f e r e n c e was opened amidst the set t ing of flowers, na-tional flags and good food, includ-ing all the hot buttered rolls we could eat. A group of Madrigal singers provided the entertain-ment. The theme of the confer-ence, "United States Investment in World Progress ," was introduced in an address by Mr. Pres ton G. Woolf, president of the Indiana-polis Council on World Affairs. He spoke about the importance of two-way international t rade to Midwest America.

The af ternoon was spent in round-table discussions dealing with the principles of the United States ' fore ign economic policy in relation to neutral countries and the communistic countries of the world. Student delegates f rom the fifteen colleges a t tending the con-ference presented papers on the topic. These papers were followed by discussion, great ly enriched by the opinions of several fore ign stu-dents.

The keynote speech, presented by the Honorable Homer E. Cape-har t , U.S. Senator f rom Indiana, was the highl ight of the meetings. His controversial 4deas on our country 's mil i tary and defense pol-icies aroused a heated discussion, which was la ter ea rned on in dor-mitory bull sessions.

Sa turday morning the professors f rom the different colleges com-mented on questions which had been raised during the course of previous sessions.

The conference was adjourned a f t e r a luncheon and business meeting. With n e w ideas and fr iendships, we came away f rom Frankl in College and its impres-sive Hoosier Hospitality.

Each active member of the f r a t -ernity is expected to contribute to the success of the occasion. Actual rehearsals will begin a f t e r spring vacation. Chairman for this year 's edition of the F r o l i c s is Dave Muilenberg.

The show will begin each even-ing a t 8:00 a t the Women's Lit-erary Club. All proceeds f rom the occasion will be donated to a char-ity selected by the Fra ters .

400 Attend "County Fair"

A total of $309.50, raised a t the "County Fa i r" which was held on March 21 in the gymnasium, will be turned over to Pres ta t ie Huis.

Approximately 400 people at-tended the " F a i r " and enjoyed themselves by hit t ing F ra t e r s on the head with eggs; being thrown in the Knick Lion's Den; throwing sponges at the Dorians; driving cars a t the Sib booth; and win-ning stuffed animals a t the Alpha Phi booth.

Also enjoyed were p l a y i n g Double or Nothing in the Sorosis booth called Hernando's Hideaway; having their for tune told by the Delphi gypsies; playing Skee Ball with the Cosmos; bowling with ASA 2; throwing dar ts a t the Em-mie booth and being tempted by the large balloon; r inging the ankle of the girls f rom ASA 1; breaking records "donated by the Music Library" a t the A r k i e booth; and eat ing potato chips and drinking 7 UP bought a t the Y booth.

Tom Lubbers was Master of Ceremonies of the program which concluded the evening. He auc-tioned some of the lef t over prizes and odds and ends. Then the Bar-baret tes and the Hesslink twins sang several selections.

The winners were announced and were awarded a blue ribbon like those seen a t a County Fair . The Knicks placed first fo r the f r a -ternities with the Cosmos being second. For the Sororities the ASA No. 1 was first followed closely by Alpha Phi. The pro-gram was closed with the singing of the Alma Mater.

ME HVf BUCKS FOR A STUDY LAMP!"

First Impressions By Linda Gordon

When I went to hear a sym-phony orchestra for the first time, I fe l t like a little child does when he stands on tiptoes and peers in-to a candy store filled with a world of surprises.

The first thing tha t puzzled me was why the audience clapped when a man came saunter ing out to the f ron t of the stage with a violin tucked under his arm. I thought if he was the conductor, he was going to have a mighty hard t ime waving his arms a t the orchestra and playing the violin a t the same time.

I learned later tha t he was pust the concert master who t r ies to s t ra ighten out the crazy mess in which the orchestra found itself when it was warming up. His job is to get all those people back on tune. I guess tha t he mus t be pret ty good because they all seem-ed to come out of it okay.

When the conductor finally showed up, he was quite an inter-esting character too. He sure got all shook up! Sometimes he looked like an angry parent shaking his fist at a naughty child, and at other t imes he got his arm going around so tha t he looked like a cook s t i r r ing up a cake.

Once I head a big sigh, and won-dered who was tired already, be-cause the program had jus t s tar t -ed. The music ma jo r si t t ing next to me said the conductor was just giving directions to the players. What a crazy kind of sign lan-guage t ha t is. Those guys who sat r ight in f r on t of the conductor really had to watch out, because sometimes he got so excited he started poking his stick r igh t in their faces.

I expected everyone to be very prim and proper a t a concert, but those musicians certainly did some s t range things. One of the women in the orchestra came prancing out with a huge purse. I guess tha t she didn't t rus t these Hol-landers enough to leave it back-stage. Af t e r they finished playing the first number, some of the mu-sicians got up and walked out, but nobody in the audience dared to. Most of them got back before they star ted playing again, but one lady didn't make it back in time, so she had to wai t until the next number to get her seat back.

Some of those people played the oddest looking instruments. That thing tha t they call a bassoon could have been a prehistoric an-imal f o r all I knew. And some fel-lows played horns tha t were all twisted up like pretzels. When they s tar ted playing, I was all set f o r the hounds to s ta r t baying in preparat ion fo r the fox hunt .

When they s tar ted playing real

f as t , the violinists seemed to be a bunch of puppets being jerked by str ings. And a t the ra te they were swinging those bows back and for th , it 's a wonder somebody did not get jabbed in the eye! The lady who played the harp had me wondering if an angel had picked me right out of my seat and flown me up to heaven. I expected to see St. Peter any minute.

Even though they did some odd

things, they sure knew how to

make beautiful music. There was

one number tha t was called some-

thing like the Thunderbird; oh, tha t ' s right, it was "The Firebird," t ha t I'd pick fo r the "Top Ten" any day.

Tennis Outlook Doubtful;

Tough Opposition Ahead by Merwyn Scholten

Hope College's ' chances fo r a

winning season in tennis appear

ra ther slim at present according to Doc Green, head coach of the tennis team.

He remarked in an Anchor in-terview today, "Tennis is probably our weakest Spring sport ." He al-so termed Kalamazoo, Albion, Hillsdale, Calvin and Adrian " . . . all good". All will offer s t rong opposition.

Hope has three of last season's net men as a nucleus. They are Roland Van Es, Marsh Elzinga and Ron Wigerink. Altogether about 15 prospects have reported fo r practice.

Uncertain as the season may now appear the actual fu tu re is unpredictable. Upsets are always hiding and they may be hiding in the ability of some of the new faces on the college squad.

The Anchor is in urgent need of reporters and wri ters for its sports staff. Anyone interested in wri t ing sports news, contact M e r w y n Scholten, S p o r t s Editor, a t 18 Eas t 12th Street , or EX-6-4405.

Seven Seeking Council Offices Five Aspirants For Vice-President Give Qualifications and Platforms

i Jan Wa l rad

Jan Walrad Jan Walrad, a junior from Her-

kimer, New York, is the Dorian's candidate fo r s tudent council vice-president. Teaching is the intend-ed profession of this French major .

In high school Jan served on the junior and senior class executive boards. She was president of both the French Club and the Spanish Club. At Hope she is secretary of her sorority, on the French Club executive council, and a member of the student council. She also played on the W.A.A. basketball team and was a member of the National Honor Society.

Jan s ta tes the responsibilities of a student council vice-president as follows, "I believe t ha t the student council should be a true represen-tative of the student body and should integrate student opinion with the views of the administra-tion. I t ' s the president 's responsi-bility, with the help of the vice-president, to keep the council or-ganized as such and to direct stu-dent activities. I t also serves in presenting studen opinion to the administration fo r effective plan-ning of the entire college program. In this capacity, the president is the leader of the student body."

Judy Tysse

Judy Tysse Judy Tysse, a Junior f rom Lynd-

hurst , Ohio with a major in Ele-mentary music Education, is the Sorosis representative in the Stu-dent Council Vice-president elec-tions.

Judy 's student government ex-perience include high school stu-dent council, Hope Student Coun-cil (co-Chairman Social Commit-tee). She was t reasurer of ASA and President of youth group.

Joan Schroeder The Sibylline Sorority 's candi-

date for the office of student coun-cil vice-president is junior Joan Schroeder. Calgary, Alberta, Can-ada is Joan 's home town. Major-ing in English, Joan plans to be-come a teacher.

Joan has been a member of Hope's student council during which time she served as corre-sponding secretary. She was house president for two years, on house board for three years, and is a counselor at Taylor Cottage. She was a member of Chancel Choir. S.N.E.A., and Spanish Club, acting as publicity chairman. Winning the Meengs Speech Contest was among her activities.

"The principal responsibility a student council president or vice-president has," according to Miss Schroeder, "is that of in tegrat ing student a t t i tudes and opinions with those of the administration in the light of what will benefit the school as a whole. Therefore, the effec-tiveness of student government depends on how successfully the needs, interests, and at t i tudes of the students and administrat ion are recognized and interpreted."

Joan Schroder

Under outside activities Judy lists three years orchestra, three years Symphonette (concert mis-tress) , IRC, SNEA, Junior Play co-chairman (Nykerk) , Junior May Day chairman. Member of Sorosis Sorority and one year in Chancel choir.

Judy feels the responsibilities of a student council president and vice-president are as follows: "It is the resopnsibility of the presi-dent and vice-president to see tha t the student body is represented fair ly. The vice-president initiates and suggests action to the council t ha t is beneficial to the student body. It is up to the vice-president to see t ha t the college schedule is rounded out with worthwhile a nd enjoyable activities. The president and vice-president ac t as a sound-ing board between the administra-tion and the school."

Her p la t form is: "Mainly I would help the president to carry out his platform. The council does a good deal in planning the social activities.' Although the Vice-pres-ident has no definite p la t form I have a few ideas: 1. A more round-ed social program. 2. College cal-endar for each student including the major dates f o r each semester. 3. Re-organization of the s t ructure of the social committee."

Sidentop from Downers Grove, Illinois. Daryl is major ing in econ-omics and is planning a profession in foreign service.

In addition to being a member of his high school student council, Daryl has served on Hope's council for 21/2 years. While in high school he was class president and Youth Center president.

He was also president of his sophomore class a t Hope.

When asked what he fel t the responsibilities of a student council president are Siedentop replied, "The power of the student council is derived from the student body, and it therefore holds tha t his first re-sponsibilities are to lead the student body, to speak fo r them, and to preside over the student council in a way that will most benefit the student body as a whole. He should give to the administration an accurate account of student feeling, whether it be favorable or un-favorable. He should also keep the administration constantly informed as to the wants and needs of the student body."

Explaining in brief his platform he stated, "I firmly believe tha t the student body, through the student council, must face the maany problems tha t are so evident on our campus. We must be constantly looking ahead. We must forsee problms tha t will naturally arise dur-ing our school year, and we must be ready to deal with these problems when they do arise. WE MUST HAVE A STUDENT COUNCIL O F ACTION, NOT REACTION. If these problems are not brought to me, I will seek them out. To have action you must have a leader and the president of the student council must be this leader.

Rowland Van Es Running against Darrell Sedentop for student council president

will be Rowland Van Es, a Junior f rom Jakima, Washington with a Chemistry major. Rowland intends to be a medical doctor.

Experiences qualifying Van Es fo r office include: high school Sophomore class president, high school student council president, college student council representative, student faculty athletic committee, food committee (chairman), college Freshman class t reasurer , college Junior class president, and Boy's State (California) .

Betty's major high school activi-

ties include: Junior Classical Lea-

gue, (president two years) year-

book associate editor, high school

paper reporter, news editor, fea-

ture editor, dramatics, basketball,

cheerleading, Tri-Hi-Y, Girl Scouts

(assis tant leader), president of

Church Fellowship, President of

United Youth Fellowship, and Sun-

day School teacher. In college she

dent council (secretary), Anchor

1957 constitution, cheerleading,

French Club, SNEA, Chancil Choir

( l ibrar ian) . Church Fellowship

(secretary) , Sunday School Teach-

er, and YWCA.

Betty feels tha t "the vice-presi-

dent holds a place of grea t respon-

sibility to the student body and ad-ministration as well as the school as a whole. I t is up to her to t ruly represent student opinion on the council. When administration and student opinion conflict, i t is her responsibility to the school as a whole to be open-minded so tha t what is ult imately best f o r the col-lege may be achieved. I t is her duty to carry out all the constitu-tional responsibilities which have been placed upon her to the full-est degree. She must be tolerant and tac t fu l with these groups and ever open to constructive criticism and a desire for self-improvement. She must set the example of con-duct fo r the student body befitting the office which she holds."

She plans to reveal her p la t form in her Wednesday campaign speech.

a r e : high school varsity football, basketball ; college tennis, capt., college J . V. basketball; varsi ty tennis; football; glory day chair-man,.. (1958-59 Basketball) 1959 Homecoming co-chairman, Pre-med Club, H-Club, Delta Phi Alpha, and Fraternal Society.

Rowland feels tha t "the duty of the Student Council as a whole is to create an atmosphere most con-ducive to the educational aspira-tions of the students, which of course includes making possible a good balance between the academ-ic, the cultural, the social, and the more secondary phases of the stu-den's life. I t therefore follows tha t the council serves as a type of stu-dent-administration sounding board and it fal ls to the president to ac-curately and effectively represent to the administration the feelings of the student populace—not being swayed or deterred in any respect from this, his first duty. He must, in turn, relay the administration's policies and goals, in a meaning-ful manner, to the students—jeal-ously guarding a healthy relation-ship.

His platform is as follows: " tha t as President of the Student Coun-cil, through the instrumentat ion of my own person and the opportun-ities afforded by this office, along with the supporting powers of the student body, and other groups, personalities and influences as well, I will endeavor to initiate thought and action which leads to a Stu-dent Council embodying the var-ious aspects of progress, produc-tivity, and prominence."
