Men's Glee Club To Make Tour of Illinois, Wisconsin

The annual concert tour of the Hope College Men's Glee Club, under the direction of Harvey 0 . Davis, is to begin Thursday, May 4, with a performance in Marseilles, Illinois. This year 's tour will be of a week's durat ion and will in-clude the states of Illinois and Wisconsin.

Following the Marseilles concert the Club will sing in Chicago the following night, and af ter a Saturday break in the schedule they will perform three times on Sunday as part of regu-lar church services in Oostburg, Hingham, and Sheboygan, Wiscon-sin. The next day, May 8, the Club will travel to Alto, Wiscon-sin, and will come back down into Illinois on Tuesday, May 9, for a performance at Fulton. Following this the last concert of the tour, the men will return to Holland.

This is Mr. Davis' first year as conductor of the organization. He became a member of the faculty of Hope College in September of 1949 af ter receiving his master's degree from the University of Michigan the previous June. Before under-taking his master's study, he had served as choral director and in-structor in voice at Westfield High School in Pennsylvania. During the war Mr. Davis, a graduate of West-minster C o l l e g e , Pennsylvania, served for 30 months in the China-India theater as a member of the army air force. Since his discharge Mr. Davis has specialized in choral conducting and has studied under Maynard Klein, Harold Hough, and Alfred Einstein.

As usual both sacred and secu-lar numbers are included in the Club's program. Of the former the range of representation is as broad as the varying periods of musical e x p r e s s i o n themselves, ranging from the Classicalism of Palestrina to a modern number in the style of a Negro spiritual. In the secular group most of the num-bers are of the early ballad and folk song types, with the classical composer Handel also included.

Work Continues' Within New Dorm

Although progress on the new dormitory cannot be witnessed as readily now as a few months ago, work continues to bring the time nearer when it will be completed. Decorators are now busy working on the decorations for the entire building. Drapes and furnishings have been selected and purchased. Modern refrigeration and kitchen equipment is also being installed at present. Mr. Visscher states that it is hoped that the building will be completed by the time of commencement.

The other latest a d d i t i o n to Hope's campus, the new central heating plant, is now completed and all the major buildings on campus with the exception of the "T" Barracks and Columbia Cot-tage are presently being heated with this system.

Hope Arts Festival Ends Saturday

Hope College has presented the first annual Arts Festival on its campus d u r i n g T u e s d a y and Wednesday evenings of this week and the final performance will be given this Saturday night, April 22. Partly inspired by the activity of the Hope UNESCO workshop, this festival is presented in recog-nition of contemporary American cultural achievement.

The program consists of three divisions: drama, art, and music. Before and after the program and during the intermission, there is on display a series of 70 etchings by the famous American artist, Reynold Weidenaar. The college was privileged to have Mr. Weide-naar, described as "one of the out-standing etchers of his time," as a guest on the campus Wednesday to explain his work and answer ques-tions.

The chamber orchestra, com-prised of 20 specially selected members offer three compositions by contemporary Americans: Ar-nell's "Sonata for Chamber Orches-tra," Douglas Moore's "Village

Music," and A a r o n C o p l a n d ' s "Quiet City."

The dramatic part of the pro-gram is made up of two plays, "Lima Beans" by Kreymborg, is ably presented by the three mem-bers of its cast, Raymond Martin, Marjorie Plusch, and Michael Ro-mano. As an extra, the British play "Cheezo" is given by the fol-lowing cast: Tom Malewitz, Jack Ketchum, Dale De Witt, Helen Naden, Jane Noxon, and David Karsten.

The Festival is presented at the Little Theater. Tickets are re-quired for admission. These can be obtained free of charge at the Business Office.

Geerlings, Ayispn To Make Trip East

Their plans are to drive to New York City, where their first meet-ing is scheduled with the New York City Hope College Alumni Club on Friday, April 21. On Tuesday, April 25, they will meet alumni at the Rotterdam Reformed Church near Schenectady, and on Friday, April 28, the alumni of Rochester at the First Reformed Church.

Hope Senior Wins $750 Fellowship

John Howard Ryskamp, Hope Senior, has been named as winner of the Michigan College Fellow-ship at Hope for 1950-1951. The fellowship, which is one of a num-ber established by the University of Michigan to be awarded an-nually to students from a selected number of colleges in Michigan, has a yearly stipend of $750. An-nouncement of the choice was made by Dr. Van Zyl, head of a faculty committee which annually nominates an outstanding member of the graduating class to be the recipient of the grant for graduate study at the University of Mich-igan.

Mr. Ryskamp, who majored in mathematics and in physics at Hope, will work for a Master's de-gree in the Department of Physics at the University of Michigan. In addition to collegiate work in the field of physics, he has attended radar school for eleven months while in the U. S. Navy, when he became an a v i a t i o n electronics technician's mate. Here at Hope Mr. Ryskamp is now working on the electronics method of measur-ing the mass of the electron. He is active on the campus as Presi-dent of the Knickerbocker f ra -ternity, Inter-Fraternity Council Secretary, and Vice-President of the Math-Physics Club.

Hope Students To Attend

Convocation At Kalamazoo On Saturday, April 22, a delega-tion of Hope students and faculty members will attend the Third Annual Michigan Student Chris-tian Convocation, which is to be held at Kalamazoo College. "The Christian Student Looks at Faith and Action" is the theme which has been selected for the day-long convocation. Speakers participat-ing will be the Drs. Nels F. S. Ferre, author and philosopher; Elton Trueblood, author and phil-osopher; and Roy Smith, former editor of the Christian Advocate. These gentlemen are respectively, Baptist, Quaker, and Methodist.

Nels Ferre will be speaking on Faith at the morning session of the convocation. He will be con-cerned with giving the basic beliefs of the Christian fa i th and their relevancy to students. Titled "1950: A Faith for the Half Century and Beyond," his speech should be a good stimulator for thought for the discussions which follow his presentation.

Roy Smith will be speaking on Action at the afternoon session. He will be concerned with pointing out some of the major problems of our time and what students can do about them by transform-

ing their faith into action. Again,

this speech will be followed by a

discussion period with emphasis

being placed on considering prac-

Choir To Present Concert Tonight

The Hope College Chapel Choir will present its Spring Concert to-night at 8:15. This group, consist-ing of sixty-five voices, is under the direction of Mr. Harvey Davis.

The program, composed largely of s a c r e d m u s i c , will center around an excerpt from Mendels-sohn's great oratorio, Elijah. The part being presented will depict the Mt. Carmel Scene in which Elijah challenges the prophets of Baal to call upon their god and mocks them when they receive no answer. Bob Kranendonk is the soloist, taking the part of Elijah, and Jeanne VerBeek will accom-pany.

Other numbers being presented will include two Bach Chorales, "Misericordias Domini" by the 18th century Italian Composer Fran-cesco Durante, two numbers from the rich musical repertoire of the Russian Orthodox Church entitled "The Cherubim Song" by Glinka and "Holy R a d i a n t Light" by Gretchaninoff. "Hymn to King Stephen" by Zoltan Kodaly, "Built on a Rock" by Christiansen, fea-turing Paul Kranendonk as soloist, and numbers by Elgar and Greig will also be presented.

The Choir will present a pro-gram very similar to this in the Third Reformed Church of Kala-mazoo on the twenty-third. This concert is sponsored by the Alumni Association of Kalamazoo.

tical problems of the student in 1950.

Elton Trueblood will be bring-ing the closing message on the subject of Commitment. He will be dealing with the necessity for the individual commitment of stu-dents today to the Christian faith and what real commitment means.

The Hope delegation to the con-vocation is being sponsored by campus Y organizations. Registra-tion for the event requires $1.25 to be sent in with the registration form. Besides the registration fee, each student will have to pay for his noon luncheon and night ban-quet. This will be done at the time of the convocation; estimated costs for these meals are 60c and $1.50.

The guiding aim of all convoca-tion planning has been to bring together around some subject of concern a vast number of Michigan students and foremost leaders in Christian thought and devotion. In 1948, the annual, one-day, inspira-tional and educational meeting was held at Michigan State College with nearly 600 students attend-ing. The theme was "The Christian Concept of the University." In 1949 the University of Michigan played host to the convocation and over 1,000 students from virtually every campus in the state attended. "Student: Christian and Citizen", was the theme and Dr. Reinhold Niebuhr gave the main address.

The campaign speeches by the candidates for the Student Council presidency will be deliv-ered during the fourth hour as-sembly period, Tuesday, April 25, in the Pine Grove. The vice-presidential s p e e c h e s will be given Wednesday noon at the same location. Balloting will be held on Friday.

Bernius, Hager Win Associate Positions In Recent Balloting

Dave Karsten has been elected Editor-in-Chief of the 1950-1951 ANCHOR. Assisting Karsten as Associate Editors in the sixty-third year of publication of the college paper will be Julie Bernius and Dave Hager. The choices of the three editors were made at a re-cent election in which members of the Publications Committee and the current A N C H O R e d i t o r s voted. Other editorial selections will be announced af ter appoint-ments by the new Editor-in-Chief have been made.

Karsten comes from Holland, where he was graduated from Hol-land High. While in high school he served on the staff of the "Herald," acted as a cheer leader, and participated in the senior play.

After g r a d u a t i o n from high school, Dave Karsten spent two years in the U. S. Navy. For a part of that time, he held the po-sition of Editor-in-Chief of the "Tester," the camp paper at the Pataxent River Naval Air Test center in Maryland.

Here at Hope he has been active in ANCHOR work, cheer leading, P & M productions, interpretive reading, art work, and the Cosmo-politan fraternity.

Bernius

Julie Bernius, who is from Bald-win, L. I., N. Y., participated in a number of extra-curricular activi-ties during her high school educa-tion, including the high school journalism club, the newspaper staff, dramatics, the French club, the athletic association, and Alpha Hi-Y. At Hope she plans to be-come an English major, to take education courses, and to prepare for elementary school teaching. She has been an ANCHOR re-porter and is a member of the Dorian society.

Hager Dave Hager lives in East Grand

Rapids, where he attended the East Grand Rapids High School. In high school he did editorial and feature writing for "The Flint-lock," school paper, contributed to "Interlochen," the school annual, and was a member of the debate team. At Hope he is a member of the orchestra, one of the Madrigal Singers, chairman of publicity for the YMCA, and Secretary of the Emersonian Fraternity, in addition to b e i n g a m e m b e r of t h e ANCHOR staff.

New editors will learn of their responsibilities from their prede-cessors during the publication of the next issue of the ANCHOR. After this period of apprenticeship, present editors will retire and the new editorial staff will begin work with the May 18 issue.

'Free Booters' Or 'Fighting Dutch,' Which Title Do You Think Better?

During the past two weeks, the committee appointed to select the new "nickname" for Hope College has been at work attempting to pick out the most suitable name from approximately fifty entries. The committee is composed of rep-resentatives from the S t u d e n t Council, H-Club, Athletic Board, Public Relations Office, WAA, the coaching staff, and the administra-tion. The committee has narrowed the field down by careful considera-tion to two alternative choices which it thinks are the best. They are "The Free Booters" and "The Fighting Dutch."

Both symbols give the punch that was felt to be lacking in for-mer years. "The Free Booters" were buccaneers who were au-thorized by the Dutch government under William of Orange to prey upon Spanish shipping. They did much to harass the Spanish and at the same time laid the founda-tions for Dutch maritime power. The name "Fighting Dutch" sym-bolizes Hope's keen competitive spirit.

The contest for a new name was

held for one reason, because it was felt that there was too much con-fusion in the newspapers with so many teams from this area being called "The Dutch." Another rea-son and perhaps more important was that "The Dutch" is rather vague and lacks the color necessary to spark athletic teams.

The new names with appropriate symbols will be placed in the Blue Key bulletin board this noon. This will give the student body an op-portunity to visualize the new

symbol and to make their pref-

erences known to their Student

Council representatives. The new

name must be approved by both

the Student Council and the ad-

ministration.

It has been announced by the Admissions Office that the 1950 Hope College Bulletin is now available. Students who want copies must present the cards that were sent to their homes during Spring Vacation.

Council Campaign Next Tuesday morning, members of the

student body will make their initial ap-pearances on the campaign platform, and will open the race for Student Council offi-cers. This will be the second year of the new election system, which was inaugurated in 1949 to replace the lackadaisical turn-over of council members of previous years.

Hopeites will remember the splendid spirit and interest which accompanied last year's campaigns. It is hoped that this same inter-est will be duplicated in the forthcoming elections. This spirit is one which should be commended with a high degree of praise. It is the American way of life to put the candidates of an office before the public eye and let them see what they are getting when they vote. Perhaps it is only the President of the Student Council, and not the head man of a state or country, but the fact re-mains, that this council is the student voice on this campus and if, like the voice of a congress, we want this voice to be one of strength and compulsion, we have to know the qualifications of the man who will lead in the use of that voice.

As in the previous campaign, there is al-ready regrettable evidence of society "poli-tics." This element of belonging to a certain group should not be the deciding factor for any voter. The main point in favoring a candidate should be those elements of leader-ship, capability, and character. Uppermost in every voter's mind should be the question, "Who would make the best officer, and would have the interests of the entire stu-dent body ever,In mind?"

Our present Student Council, under its able leadership, has made great strides in advancement. We have seen many changes occur in various aspects of our college since

last year. We are now about to elect succes-sors to this council and these new members will have a crucial task ahead of them — that of maintaining and supplementing the fine work of their predecessors.

Of course, only the fu tu re can be used as evidence as to whether the r ight leader will be chosen, but there remains the democratic t ruth tha t he will be chosen by the majori ty of the voters and therefore will have the right to assume the office. One man alone, however, cannot run any government with-out the aid of th^ aforesaid voters. He needs the aid, in the case here, of an intelligent and willing council to back him up. Let us hope, that when the time comes for the selec-tion of these various group representatives, this fact will be remembered and the best candidates for the council will be chosen.

Human Parrots A college student may be led to books and

lectures, but he can't be made to think. The college student could explore vast

areas of knowledge if he should care to do so, for all the facilities for such an adven-ture are at his disposal. Usually he does not care to do so. Instead, he is in the habit of sitting through lectures without recog-nizing the significance of half that the pro-fessor says. He is accustomed to doing read-ing assignments in an amazingly slothful way, having the vague notion that if he moves his eyes over print for a given period of time that he has then completed the as-signment and knows all that the reading matter contains. When required to write a term paper he is very much disturbed to find that such a project requires some orig-inal thought; he often solves this problem by borrowing the available words of one or several authors in preference to putting

forth his own effort. What are the reasons for there being so

many human parrots in college classrooms? Can anything be done about the situation? Or must we recognize that man, students included, has his mental and biological lim-itations? The answer to the last question is, of course, that not every student is a da Vinci or an Einstein, but neither is every student a mental parasite. In solution of the problems posed by the other queries, it should be recognized that students can do something about their methods of reading and studying, can learn to concentrate and

think. Studying involves the use of words as

symbols. Learning to manipulate these sym-bols is the major portion of the process called education. Instead of using these words as symbols, the college student often manipulates the words only as words; such a practice is both useless and harmful . For when the student comes to consider words in this way, it is no wonder that he can sleep through lectures. Instead of being symbols with challenging implications, words are then so much vibration of the air.

Teachers often think that they are pour-ing ideas into the heads of their students when they teach. The mental initiative of many a student has been crushed by mis-informed teachers who have considered edu-cation in this way. Actually, the processes of teaching are drawing out potentialities of the student rather than adding something to the student. The student is a reacting rather than a passive being.

There are many other aspects of study and thought than those mentioned in the two paragraphs above and many ways of improving current college study techniques. Suffice it here to point out, however, tha t when a student really studies, when he real-ly thinks, reading textbooks and listening to lectures leads to comprehension and compre-hension leads to original thought.

Students can't be made to think, but they can learn to do so.

Sophomores Must Choose Fields In Which To Major

Profs Attend Spring Meeting At Hillsdale

Dr. Hollenbach, Dr. Hawkinson, Dr. Yntema, and Mr. Vanderham attended the spring meeting of the "Michigan Association of Church Related Colleges" a t Hillsdale on April 13.

Dr. Hollenbach attended the session of administrators, while the other three Hope representa-tives attended a meeting of the 'Social Science Faculty Members' for an exchange of ideas on un-usual and unique courses carried on in the colleges represented. There was also extensive discus-sion on the problems involved in the development of the basic courses of social studies.

Alumni H Club Members Plan For Coming Events

An important meeting of the Hope College Alumni H Club was held April 11, at the Peninsular Club of Grand Rapids. Board member F r e d Y o n k m a n of Summit, N. J . was in attendance, and this gave President James VerMuelen a full board partici-pation. Plans were made to compile a complete list of members, and a committee was set up for the fall meeting and Homecoming.

During the meeting, Hollander Randall C. Bosch was presented an honorary m e m b e r s h i p in the Alumni H Club, which included the traditional H blanket.

WAL To Honor Visitors From Muskegon Area

On Wednesday afternoon, April

26, the WAL will give a tea for

the senior girls of the high schools

in the Muskegon area. The girls

will be entertained with a short

program and they will be taken

on a tour of the campus buildings.

The purpose of this tea is to inter-

est these girls in Hope. Jeanne Ver

Beek is in charge of the tea.

The time is quickly approaching when the members of the Sopho-more Class will have to definitely decide upon and make application for their major. The usual pro-cedure is for the student to fill out the form and take it to his present counsellor for his approval and signature. The approved ap-plication is then submitted to the department chairman, who will in turn notify the student if he has been accepted in that department.

The whole procedure is a simple one and shouldn't take up too much of the precious time, which we are all finding to be quite scarce lately. That is, it shouldn't in most cases. There are, however, quite a num-ber of students who as yet have not decided in what field they would like to make their career. If such happens to be your predica-ment, don't give up all hope yet! The college has a large group of qualified vocational advisors and an extensive line of vocational ma-terial on hand for your help. A definite personal interest is taken in all students by the college, and it is hoped that they will take ad-vantage of this and not hesitate to come in to the counselling depart-ment for help at any time.

The biggest cause for failure among college students is in their not knowing what they plan to do. That is why Hope College has en-deavored to direct its students into careers for which they will be best qualified. The culture tests which were taken by the Sophomores re-cently, purposes to find out the student's abilities and to determine in what line of work he would be best suited. Also offered are a series of vocational aptitude tests which may be taken upon request of the counselling department, of which Mr. Granberg is now acting as head.

The college library has for your disposal a collection of books and two different series of booklets which will serve to give you a good bird's-eye view of any profession in which you may be interested. Several of these books are on dis-play in the front room of the li-brary and will remain there for your use. In the counselling office we have a collection of reprints for Madamoiselle m a g a z i n e on "Jobs and Futures", a series on vocations especially for women. Here you girls can find out about all types of professions, work open-ings in various l o c a l i t i e s like Alaska and Paris, and also infor-mation on running your own busi-ness.

When you come to choose the profession which will be your life

work, it will be most profitable to you if you give the matter your careful consideration. In case you haven't as yet made your decision, it might be a good idea if you were to follow this simple system.

First make a list of ten or twelve occupations in which you may be somewhat interested, and then de-vote some time and study to them. Consider all the angles of each one. Eliminate some. When you have it pretty well narrowed down, try to answer these questions: (1) How many persons are engaged in this occupation? (2) Is the field overcrowded? (3) What are the divisions or departments of this work? (4) How much general edu-cation is required? (5) What are the outstanding advantages of the occupation and also the disad-vantages? (6) What are the trends within the occupation? (7) Is the demand for workers likely to grow or decrease?

Then a n a l y z e y o u r s e l f . (1) Would I like to work under these conditions? (2) Do I possess, or can 1 acquire the necessary quali-fications? (3) Would I be satisfield with the rewards?

You will be able to find the answers to your first set of ques-tions in the series entitled, "Ca-reers" found in the library files. Each booklet is devoted to a sep-arate vocation and in it you will find such information as (1) the history of that profession, (2) the importance of that profession, (3) department jobs, (4) attractive fea-tures, (5) unattractive features, (6) p e r s o n a l qualifications, (7) education and training needed, (8) salaries and (9) a paragraph tell-ing of a typical day's work at that job.

Hope offers lots of opportunities for students wishing to specialize in certain fields. The Music De-partment is one of them which has shown marked progress in recent years. It has recently adopted a complete program of studies lead-ing to graduate studies in music in the fields of Applied Music, Secondary Music, and Elementary Music. The new Department of Religious Education also prepares students for full time work. Hope's Science Department is rated among the top ten in the country and of-fers much opportunity in different fields.

Come on, you bewildered and puzzled Sophomores. Don't hesi-tate any longer. Don't put off 'til tomorrow what you can do today. Stop in at the library or the coun-selling office at your first chance and take advantage of what is of-fered.

Labor Department Notes Job Outlook For Graduates

the meeting were Dean Milton

Hinga, Mr. Clyde Geerlings, Mr.

Rein V i s s c h e r , and students

Robert Becksford and Bill Hinga.

The United States Department

of Labor a n n o u n c e s that with

about 500,000 college s t u d e n t s

graduating this year — the largest

number in our country's history —

the job outlook for the new col-lege graduates is not as good as in 1947 and 1948.

The outlook is clouded by three factors: the large nun\ber of grad-uates who will be seeking jobs; moderate increase in the total num-ber of unemployed persons; and the filling of war-created shortages of college graduates in some spe-cialized fields by the large graduat-ing classes of 1948 and 1949.

The~ picture ..facing this year's graduates is a mixed one. Business conditions as a whole are continu-ing good. In spite of this high level of business activity, the grow-ing labor force and growing pro-ductivity may well result in high levels of unemployment. The pic-ture for job o p p o r t u n i t i e s is equally mixed. Some occupations are oversupplied with graduates, and the competition will be intense for the available jobs. Other fields have a demand for jobs which f a r outweigh the available supply of trained people to fill those jobs.

General observations about con-ditions in the job market tend to hide w i d e l y varying situations. Prospects are excellent in some oc-cupations, industries, and areas. In others, where wartime and postwar shortages have now been filled, many graduates will find it diffi-cult to get jobs.

In teaching, for example, there is at once an acute shortage of per-sonnel in the elementary schools and a growing oversupply at the

high school level. For the current school year, only one elementary teacher was trained for every three who were needed. On the other hand, four times as many students completed training for high school teaching as were required.

Other professional fields in which stiff competition for jobs is ex-pected in the next few years in-clude law, journalism, and per-sonnel work. In engineering, the number of graduates will exceed the number of openings in the early 1950's; a f te r the next four or five years, the e m p l o y m e n t situation for new graduates is likely to improve in this rapidly growing profession. In chemistry competition will be keen during the next few years among persons without g r a d u a t e t ra ining; the outlook is better for those with graduate degrees.

There will probably also be an oversupply of business administra-tion graduates. A surplus of new graduates has already developed in the field of accounting. Liberal arts graduates with work experience or specialized training will find it easier to get jobs than those with

only a general undergraduate edu-

cation.

Those whose training lies in the

crowded fields have s e v e r a l al-

ternatives open to them. Firs t of

all, they would be well advised to

explore the possibilities of enter-

ing any fields closely allied to their

field of primary interest, where

there may be more openings. They

may also explore the possibility of

further training to equip them-

selves with more specialized skills. r*'>%

Hope Takes Honors A t Pi Kappa Delta

Hope College took several hon-ors a t the annual Pi Kappa Delta Provincial Convention held April 3 through 5 in Grove City, Pa. According to Dr. Schrier, head of the speech department and vice-governor of the province, Hope stu-dents placed in every phase of the competition.

Guy Vander Jagt, Hope fresh-man from Cadillac, received first place in extemporaneous speaking. In three rounds with ten judg-ments, he received nine first places and one third. Guy made an ad-mirable record, considering the fact that he received his notes at 2 a. m. in the morning of the day he had to participate in two rounds of debate. At the s tar t of the trip the group was twenty-five miles outside of Holland when Guy sud-denly realized that he had left his notes at home. He wired home for them and the notes were flown from Cadillac to Youngstown, Pa. From here they were carried the remaining forty miles by car to Grove City and arrived at 2 a. m. Thanks is given to Professor Van-derham and Dr. Voogd, who con-tributed in the preparation of Van-der Jag t for the contest.

Floyd Goulooze tied for third place in men's oratory. First place was taken by James Lawson from Baldwin-Wallace College. M a r y H o u t m a n won f i f t h place in women's oratory. Jean McGlathery from Bowling Green was first in this competition.

In debate Harvey Moes, Gou-looze, and Vander Jagt represented Hope College. They won third place honors, having won three out of four debates in which they participated. The schools whose representatives they debated with were the Baldwin-Wallace College in Berea, Ohio; the St. Vincent Col-lege in Latrobe, Pa.; Central Mich-igan College at Mount Pleasant; and the University of Maine in Orono. According to Dr. Schrier, judging was done on a point sys-tem. During the festival 135 stu-dents participated from 24 col-leges.

The Hope College team was ac-companied by Dr. Schrier.

YM Holds Panel On Social Maturity

On April 18, the YMCA held a panel discussion on the Social Ma-turity of Hope College Students. The members of the panel were Roy Lumsden, Sophomore; Don Lubbers, Freshman; and Professor Granberg, faculty member. Guy Vander Jagt served as moderator.

The following were some of the questions which were discussed: Are Hope students socially ma-ture? Do they leave Hope with less social grace than they had

when entering? Do some Hope

graduates become flustered in so-

cial-business relationships? Do we

have proper sportsmanship at our

athletic events?

On this coming Tuesday evening,

April 25, the YM will meet with

YW for a joint meeting.

WAS To Present 'Othello' April 29

"Othello", one of Shakespeare's

best tragedies, will be shown at

the World Adventure Series, Sat-

urday, April 29. Othello is a

Moorish Nobleman and a soldier

of fortune who marries a young

beautiful foreign girl without her

father's consent. Due to Othello's

inexperience with woman psychol-

ogy and enchanted with his wife's

beauty, he lets lago, a young

villian, convince him that his wife

is unfaithful and in love with a

lieutenant. Intoxicated with jeal-

ousy, Othello smothers his wife

in her bed. Finding his wife inno-

cent, Othello stabs himself and

dies with a kiss on the cold lips

of his innocent wife.

All students who plan to take the course in Elementary Music Methods next year must take the diagnostic test, or have the instructor's permission to en-ter the course.

The diagnostic test will be given by Miss Holleman on the afternoon of April 28, at 3:30 p.m. in the chapel base-ment. If you cannot be there at that time, see Miss Holle-man. The course is designed for students who are majoring in elementary education.

Hope Band To Give Apri l 27 Concer t

The Hope College Band, under the direction of Morette Rider, will present its Spring Concert on April 27 at 8:15 p. m. in the Hope Memorial Chapel.

One of the outstanding numbers to be presented is Richard Wag-ner's "Traversinfonie." This is the only important band number writ-ten by Wagner and was composed from themes of Von Weber, as a funeral march. This work was only discovered in the late twenties, and thus is relatively new.

Three ensembles will be featured in this program: a brass sextet, brass quartet, and a clarinet quar-tet.

Other numbers on the program will include a Suite of five Folk Songs by Elie Siegmeister, Elgar's "Nimrod," M o r r i s s e y ' s "Bam-boula," and two marches, "Chicago Tribune" and "Manhattan Beach."

Seniors Plan To Give Gift To College In '60

The Senior Class decided in recent balloting to give a gift to the college in 1960. Max Frego heads the committee which will some time in the future contact the members of the Hope Class of 1950 for minimum contributions of $10 apiece. Plans as to what will be done with these contribu-tions will be made at the class reunion which will be held in 1960.

Hopeites To Spend Summer In Mexico

Several Hope College Spanish students are eagerly looking for-ward to summer, when they will continue their studies in an actual Spanish environment. Old Mexico.

Fred King, who already speaks

Spanish fluently, is planning to at-tend Mexico City College, a new institution, located in Mexico City. Here, in a college set up on an American basis, but surrounded by Mexican environment and culture, he hopes to continue his work for an A.B. degree.

Having completed his Biology major at Hope, Fred will earn credits towards his degree, choos-ing subjects from the fields of Spanish, Social Studies, and Fine Arts, in which the school excels. This college is approved by the GI Bill and credits from her are ac-cepted in American colleges. If

this summer proves enjoyable,

Fred may continue there in the

Fall.

Collins Ottipoby, who just re-

cently, because of his outstanding

work in Intermediate Spanish, de-

cided upon a Spanish major and

began Advanced Spanish, will en-

roll in the Escuela Interamerican

de Verano, established in Saltillo,

Coah., Mexico.

Complete cost for tuition, room

and board will be included in the

over-all price of $225.

Kappa Delta

Kappa Delta met Monday eve-ning, April 17, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Kraagt at 7:30 p. m.

Funds were also raised to help in the construction of a Christian Com-munity Church in Yokosuka, Japan. Each year the girls have some special project of this nature.

The officers for the coming year were also chosen and plans were made for the final meeting of the year which is the annual banquet. There was also a report on the Kappa Delta play which will be given May 5 and May 8 at Central Park Reformed Church and Eighth Reformed Church in Grand Rapids, respectively.

AND REPAIR

There hasn't been much news since vacation. This is probably due to one of two reasons. Either people have a touch of spring fever and are staying home in bed (to keep from getting chilblains), or they've studied up on technique during vacation and are extra care-ful now. No fires in organic; all is running smooth in the physical lab; and everyone seems to be way ahead in physiology. (I say that with tongue in cheek.)

Most of us took life easy during vacation. Fairchild read the arti-cle in Life Magazine on "Sleep" and tested all the methods men-tioned therein to see how he could best get more of it. There were a few eager boys like Dunning and Slikkers who wrote term papers and spent a little time in lab in order to increase their lead over the other fellows in number of experiments completed. There is also the rumor going around that one of our ace chemists was seen caddying for "Little Doc" on the local fairways d u r i n g vacation. Brrrrrrr! More power to both of them.

Would you like to study through travel? It is the new way of learn-ing that is becoming internation-ally recognized.

Professors Metta Ross and Ed-ward Wolters have done extensive work along this line to give Hope students the opportunity of this new type of study.

For instance, the "Student's In-ternational Travel Association" of-fers nine distinct surveys of North America, three Mex ican ton is, three South American journeys, nine general European tours, and single intensified studies of the British Isles, France and the Swiss Alps.

The "American Association of International Relation Clubs" tour offers the student one week of supervised study of Paris, one week of study at Geneva and throe weeks of study at any one of n u m e r o u s places of your own choosing.

The "Lisle Tours", although sp?-cializing in study of the United States, with n u m e r o u s t o u r s throughout several states, offer a

special study of post-war Japan,

which is highly rated.

The "World Council of Church

Work Camps" have announced that

1950 Christian Work Camps will be set up in England, France, Italy, Greece, Germany, Japan, K o r e a , t h e P h i l i p p i n e s and throughout Central America.

The "Institute of Atlantic Rela-tions" have made higher education possible in the University of Ut-recht, the Dutch University recog-nized as one of Europe's oldest and most famous; in Sweden's Uni-versity of Lund, to study "De-mocracy in Action" in the most so-cialized capitalistic country in the world; and to study Alpine culture through field trips in this sector of Europe.

Probably the most stimulating summer experience is being offered by "Experiment on International Living, Inc.," which places the stu-dent to live with an accepted fam-ily in any country the student chooses.

These are only a few of the many interesting and informative o p p o r t u n i t i e s being offered to American College and University students. You'll find additional in-

formation on the door of Professor

Ross's office, and Professors Ross

and Wolters are willing and eager

to assist you in planning a profit-

able summer of learning.

On April 14, the Cosmopolitan f ra te rn i ty held a literary meeting in their room on east 8th Street. In the absence of the president, Bob Becksfort, vice-president Kep Cloetingh presided. He also opened with prayer.

Cosmos Ado "Muscle Builder" Bruininks and A1 Boers presented the humor paper. The group was then entertained by Herb Ritsema who played some selections on the accordion. The Cosmos wish to thank the Emmies for "loaning" them their fine musician.

Cosmo John Stephens came forth with some fine sound movies in place of the serious paper. The films included a W. C. F i e l d s comedy, an Abbot and Costello comedy, and "Belles of the South Seas." Some "human interest" slides were also shown.

New Cosmo pledges are Dave Brower, Dale De Witt, Paul De Kok, R o d g e r K r a m e r , Art Torringa, Paul Vanden Brink, and John Van Ripper. The appointed pledge master is "Terrible" Chuck Mulder.

Arcadian

On Friday evening, April 14, the Arcadians met for their weekly-meeting in the chapel basement. Vice-president Elton Bruins called the meeting to order, and chaplain David Ter Beest opened with prayer. Bill Miedema led the group in some songs from the new song books. Inasmuch as he persisted in choosing songs un-familiar to the group, the result-ing singing ( ? ) broke down in spots, to the great enjoyment of all.

Vice-president Elton Bruins wel-comed five new pledges — Paul Holman, Ken Van Wyck, Bill Parsons, Bill O'Donnell, and Bob Benson. He then read a letter from alumnus Virgil Dykstra. The men were heartened to hear tha t David Dykstra is gett ing better. For the benefit of his fr iends out-side the f ra terni ty , his address is now Oakdale Sanitarium, Oakdale, Iowa.

Af te r a little f ra terni ty business had been discussed, secretary Hank Parsons called the roll. Then the group was treated by Rev. Schoon to a showing of some slides taken on his t r ips West, of Tulip Time, and of college. The meeting was adjourned.

Knickerbocker

Stag night at Miller's Barn opened activities again a f t e r vaca-tion. Af te r a brief b u s i n e s s meeting, Ray Milne and George Priest, co-chairmen, took charge of the remainder of the evening. Sport movies were enjoyed by everyone; and Wade Moore's fine fi lms of the winter formal at the Morton House also were shown.

Following a humorous skit given by a few "chosen" knicks, coffee and rolls were served. When the hour o f . twelve approached, the "gang" proceeded to serenade the girls ' dorms on campus. Despite the temperature, it was a lot of fun .

Coaches Jim Brown and Wayne Fieldhouse are making prepara-tions fo r the softball season which begins next week. Dick Caldwell was appointed to manage the track events in connection with May Day.

Emersonian - Fraternal

The riot squad was on hand in

case of emergency as the Emmies

stepped across the hall to join the

Fra te rs in their room for the

annual Emmie-Frater picnic. No-

body could figure out who was

the guest of whom, so Fra te r

President Fred Brieve and Emmie

President Larry Masse debated the

issue while we looked into the

Encyclopedia Britannica to fine

out whether E comes before or

a f t e r F. It comes before, I think.

The "get together" got offi-

cially under way as Fra ter Chuck

Wissing was casually informed he

was to open with prayer. This he

accomplished with spontaneity am

despatch. Emmie Masse and Fra ter

Brieve then exchanged ceremonia

platitudes. Emmie Craig ("G. H.

to G. R.") VanZanten read the

Frater roll call, and Fra ter Glenn

("Drat those Spanish names")

Blocker made a noble at tempt

with the Emmie personnel file.

Then Emmie Jack ("Cal City")

Wickert stepped up on a folding

chair to lead the assembled throng

in song (a poem, yet) . Fortu-

nately, or unfortunately, as the

case may be, the chair did not

fold. F r a t e r John ("Happy")

Beuker combatted the dissonances from his piano, but he spent most of the time t rying to figure out what was being sung, if anything. Was it weird.

Next, in his harrowing serious paper titled "Our Unprepared-ness", Emmie Bob ("Cut") De Y o u n g illustrated dramatically from his own experience the con-dition of our defenses immediately a f te r the Japanese attack in 1941. Oahu could have been taken, said Bob, by three c o m p a n i e s of Japanese boy scouts. The paper was replete with official statistics which have never been made pub-lic because of their humiliating implications.

Af te r the ace Emmie singing team of Finlaw and Erickson had performed their complete reper-toire, namely "Whispering Hope, F ra t e r Careless Carl ("I 'm the real McCoy") Jordan presented a very dignified, refined humor paper similar to one heard at a recent ASA meeting, I think.

Fra te r Roy ("That 's enough. Baby") L u m s d e n made some shrewd observations as master critic, and then everyone partook of refreshments.

Emersonian

Hot flash! (it says here). The results of the recent Emmie elec-tions are in and ready for release, it was announced last night (well, maybe it was a couple nights ago, I dunno) by J . Palmer, palmbearer. These are they ( that 's grammar for you):

President: Craig ("Wait'll you hear my humor paper") Van Zanten.

Vice-President: Jack ("Cal City is rough") Wickert.

Secretary: Dave ("What can one say, I th ink?") Hager.

Sergeant-at-Arms: Gene ("The Man") Harsevoort.

You may be wondering about our t reasurer . Yeh, so are we.

Fraternity House Plans Discussed

The Cosmpolitan f ra tern i ty met

on April 11 at the home of Dr.

Lubbers to enjoy coffee and cake

and to discuss f ra te rn i ty housing

plans for the coming year. Presi-

dent Lubbers intends to hold simi-

lar meetings in the near fu ture

with the Knickerbocker and Ar-

cadian societies. All possible hous-

ing plans were discussed at the

meeting.

Decisions regarding fraternity

housing are not yet final. The con-

version of the "T" dormitory has

been recognized as the possible so-lution of the housing problem of one fraterni ty. Until it is known more definitely what properties are available, final plans for the f ra -ternities will be held in abeyance.

Fraternit ies for which housing provisions have not yet been made will be given their choices of avail-able property in order of f ra terni ty age. This means tha t the Cosmo-politans and Knickerbocker f ra -ternities will have first and second choices, respectively; the Arcad-ians, youngest of the campus f ra -ternities, will take what remains. It is believed that the fraternit ies will make their selections some time before the end of this se-mester.

Pledging Results Are Announced

The Inter-Fraterni ty Council recently announced the persons who have accepted the bids which were sent out on March 30. The fraterni t ies and their respective new pledges are as follows: Arcadian — Paul Holman, Kenneth Van Wyk, Robert Benson, W. G. Parson, William O'Donnell. Cosmopolitan — David B r o w e r , Paul Vanden Brink, John Van

Riper, Arthur Torringa, Paul De

Kok, Dale De Witt, and Rodger Kramer. Emersonians — Ray Lee. Knickerbocker — J o h n Sutliff, Bob Ondra, H o m i d T a d a y a n , J . Maurice Joldersma, Jack Dykstra. Fra te r — Jack Lane, George Zeng, Lynn Post, Douglas Leestrand.

Delphis, Thetas Tie In Grade Average

Results of sorority scholastic competition were announced by the Pan Hellenic Board last week. Delta Phi and Thesaurian tied for the top position with averages of 2.96. Others in order were Sibyl-line, 2.84; Sorosis, 2.75; and Dor-ian, 2.74. ASA trailed with 2.42 but were not included in the regu-lar competition.

This competition was inaugu-rated, following the steps of the Interfra terni ty Council, to encour-age scholarship among the girls.

The Board is making plans to adjust the pledging rules and to set up a quota system for bidding next year.

#arnrittes Sorosis

On Friday evening, an election meeting took place. The new of-ficers elected were Helen Dykstra, president; Marion Reichert, vice-president; Prue Haskens, secre-tary; Eunice Mayo, Pan-Hellenic Board representative; and Molly Buttles and Ethel Fasch, sergeants-at-arms.

Marilyn Whitford was chairman of the meeting and presented the theme, "Who's Who" on campus. After very choice words of wisdom for devotions, and musical wisdom by Maestro Ver Beek, a very seri-ous discussion on current modes of behavior on campus took place, en-titled "Anything Resembling Any-one Living or Dead Is Purely Co-incidental." At this Round Table meeting were Dot Milne, Marion Reichert, Jayne and Joyce Baker.

Sibylline

Upon being questioned, Lou Van Bronkhorst p a t i e n t l y explained that the very odd-shaped "things" she was cutt ing out of drawing paper were for the sorority meet-ing programs. We said, "Oh" and gulped, but made the fu r ther mis-take of venturing to ask — "But what is i t?" This was too much for the long-suffering Lou, and as we skillfully dodged several items hurled across the room at us, we got an explanation. "They're going to be umbrellas," we were told.

Though we didn't think this quite so obvious as Lou did, we dared not question fur ther . However, we were pleasantly surprised at the Friday evening meeting with very clever u m b r e l l a s to guard us against those "April Showers."

Evy Jannega led the program with a shower of blessing in the form of devotions. Bert Van Gilder tried to be serious on the subject of "Showers to Weddings," and Edna Pierce sang "April Showers." Jeanine DeBoer put us in a good mood with her satire about spring weather.

At the meeting held on March 24, the Sibyllines held their annual spring election of officers.

Jean Toussiant, the r e t i r i n g president, turned her office over to Wilma Osterbaan. Lorraine Drake was elected vice-president; Pauline Hendrieth, secretary; and Mickie Von Egmond, t reasurer .

o

Thesaurian

On Thursday evening at 7:00, March 30, the Thesaurians met in heir sorority room for the purpose

of installing the new officers for his term. Cynthia Fikse took over he duties of president, and she

will be assisted by Martha Felton as vice-president, Gladys Keizer as t reasurer , and Jennie Smit as secretary. Af te r this candlelight ceremony, the various committees reported on the plans being made for the spring formal to be held April 28. The Thetas then ad-.ourned to the chapel where an en-joyable joint meeting with the Ar-cadians was held.

A short business meeting was held Friday, April 14, to fur ther the plans fo r the formal party.

ASA - Delta Phi

Afte r our respective business meetings, ASA and Delta Phi met in the very familiar lounge of West Hall fo r entertainment and gett ing acquainted. The lat ter was achieved to some extent by read-ing the roll, but also embarrassed the secretaries.

Devotions were well taken care of by Marilyn Veldman. In keep-ing with % the theme of April Showers, Betty Dowd's Brainstorm gave us a history of bumper-shoots. A group of charming props aided a quartet composed of A n n e t t e S i d e r i u s , Ruth Slotsema, Elin Veenschoten and Muriel Droppers in dramatizing their wet weather songs. How do those pocketsize umbrellas work, Jeanet te? Ruth Koeppe topped off the program with her humor paper — a t least Sally Palen won't forget it very soon! Ann Wolters served as critic.

Thesaurian - Arcadian

On March 30, the Thesaurians and Arcadians had the pleasure of a joint meeting in the chapel basement. Music was the theme for the evening. T h e s a u r i a n Schoonveld led the "Song of Praise" and then the presidents of the two societies, C. Fikse and K. Leestma, spoke their "Song of Welcome."

After roll call by Thesaurian Smit and Arcadian Parsons, Arca-dian B. Pennings delivered his "Song of Seriousness" entitled "The Organ, King of Instruments," in which he traced the history of the organ from Pan's pipes to the electronic organs of today. Arca-dian D. R e i n e m a n n p l a y e d Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" for his "Song of the Keyboard" and held the group spellbound.

For her "Song of Humor" Thesaurian C. Fikse delivered her-self of a hilarious rendition of "Betty at the Baseball Game." In recalling her preliminary remarks, this reporter sincerely hopes that Miss Fikse will be able to find the man who will be able to smile when his f ront teeth have all come out. To conclude, the two societies sang their respective songs before the meeting ad-journed for a "Song of Food."

Golf Squad Looks For Good Season

Shooting For First To Help All-Sports Cause Golf Coach A1 Timmer is de-

termined that if he and his team have anything to say about it, the 1949-50 MIAA all-sports trophy will come to Hope. With top pros-pects for a well-balanced and pow-erful team, Timmer and his squad are shooting for the league golf title which will go a long way toward winning the all-sports race in which the Hollanders currently hold a two-point lead over their closest rivals, Kalamazoo.

Last Friday marked the final round in a preliminary tournament to pick eight men for the team from the sixteen who reported for drills.

Plenty of Vets

. Returning to this year's squad are Paul Mulder, a three-year let-terman; Howie Jalving, three-year letterwinner and second low med-alist in the MIAA field meet last year; Henry Visser, for two years a letterman; Bob Houtman, another two-letter winner; Bill Kloote, low medalist in last year's MIAA field meet; and Dick Kruizenga, sopho-more shooting for his second letter.

Timmer says that there is also plenty of good material among the newcomers to enhance prospects for this season as well as next year. Among the new men are Don Lubbers, Bil l M i e d e m a , Dick Owens, Ray Zwemer, Don Wier-enga, Don VanRy, Dick Huff, Don Prentiss, Dave Kloote, and Bob Patton.

According to Timmer, all home meets this year will be played at the Saugatuck course. The sched-ule follows:

Frat Track Events To Be Held Friday

The men's track events which have in the past been held on May Day will this year be held tomor-row, April 21. The Inter-Fraternity Council recently decided to have the intra-college competition at this early date in order to provide Coach De Vette with an added op-portunity to build up the Hope track team.

Bob Wagner has been appointed chairman of the committee which has charge of running preliminary trials, of time-keeping, of judges, and of planning the other details of the track events. Other members of the committee are Chuck Wis-sink, Frater; Hank Parsons, Ar-cadian; Dick C a l d w e l l , Knick; Pete Roon, Cosmo; and Bob Hen-ninges, Emmie.

Eligibility rules for participa-tion in the track competition re-quire that no lettermen may take part, state that cross country is not considered track, and permit Freshmen out for the track team to enter.

The Inter-Fraternity Council has posted the baseball schedule on the fraternity bulletin board" in ,Van Raalte. The season will consist of one round of games. Games de-layed by weather conditions will be played on a Tuesday or Thurs-day following the originally sched-uled time, depending on when the diamond is free. Umpires for the games will be chosen from the faculty; score-keepers will be ap-pointed from each fraternity.

On the afternoon of May Day, I^Iay 12, the team in first place in the baseball league at that date, will play the faculty in a softball game. This exhibition game will replace the traditional track events.

Win First Contest In Frigid Weather

Lasting Inning Rally Nets Hollanders Win

Playing in be low f r e e z i n g weather. Coach Jack Schouten's baseball squad knocked off Calvin, 4 to 3, at Riverview Park in its first contest of the season. The Hope nine pushed across two runs on one hit in the last inning to overcome a one-run Knight lead and grab the win.

Calvin made the first tally of the game when Veldhuis, who smashed a double off Buckhout, scored. Hope came back in the fifth inning when Marema scored to tie the game.

Both teams then went scoreless until the eighth when Marema scored on a fielder's choice. In their half of the inning the Knights found Bill VerHey for a hit which they combined with an error to shove across two runs and take a 3-2 lead.

The Hope team pulled its victory out of the bag in the ninth with runs by Marema and Mull.

JC Game Postponed

Hits were even in the tilt, each team getting three. Brummels, Boeve, and Mull knocked out the trio of Hope safeties, while Veld-man picked up two and Slager one for Calvin.

Buckhout started the game on the mound for Hope, giving up two hits and striking out six Knight batsmen. VerHey, credited with the win, allowed one hit and fan-ned seven Calvinites.

An uncooperative weatherman spoiled the Hollanders' baseball plans for the next few days, forc-ing a postponement of the Grand Rapids JC tilt on two occasions. The game was originally scheduled for April 11, and was frozen out for the second time on April 13.

Frater A's Take Frat Loop Crown

It took a year, but revenge finally came for the Frater "A" league quint that was defeated by the Cosmo "B" five in last year's interfrat playoff. The Fraternals turned the tables on the Cosmos in the 1950 title game, winning 42 to 39.

This year's game, as last sea-son's, was close throughout with the Fraters holding margins of 7-5, 15-14, and 30-27 at the ends of the first, second, and third quarters.

Bob Becksfort of the Cosmos, number-two scorer in the "B" league, and George Slikkers of the Fraters, number-three scorer in the "A" bracket, tied for high point honors in the playoff game with 15 points each. Cosmo Gord VanHoven tallied 13 markers, while Frater Paul Hendrickson scored 12.

Previously, the Fraters had fig-ured in a four-way tie for the "A" loop crown and gained the right to participate in the playoff by de-feating the Independents and the Emersonians in an "A" league tourney. The Cosmos had finished in a deadlock with the Frater "B" team and earned the representation of that circuit with a 42-38 de-cision.

kg™ Changing nicknames seems to be somewhat contagious among Hol-

land athletic squads this year. According to a local news release, the Holland Hurricanes have decided to change their moniker to Lions, since the squad is sponsored by the Holland Lions Club. The Holland semi-pro grid squad will also drop out of Michigan Football League ranks this year, but will play an eight-game independent schedule.

Still on the subject of changing nicknames, we find that R. G. Lynch of the Milwaukee Journal sports staff recently had a comment to make on the topic in his column, "Maybe I'm Wrong." In answer to a reader's suggestion that the Journal promote a contest to choose a new name for the Milwaukee Brewers, Lynch wrote: "Long used nicknames for sport teams cannot be changed. Philadelphia Phillies tried to change their name to Bluejays and Boston Braves tried to become the Bees. Both gave up the effort after a couple of years of vain effort. And "back in the 1920's, the late Brownie Rowland and Sam Levy of the Journal tried to convert the Brewers into the Panthers with just as little success."

All this would seem to put the damper on Hope's recent drive to choose a new name, were it not for one factor: The teams mentioned by Lynch have received far greater and wider publicity than Hope, a fact which makes it much more difficult to switch nicknames. Since Hope athletic publicity penetrates little farther than the Middle West, a change in names might easily be accomplished with the cooperation of the newspapers in this area.

According to Bill Hinga, chairman of the committee to do away with the "Dutch" (nickname, that is), the decision as to Hope's new title will be released in the near future. At present, the committee is studying illustrations of symbols for some of the suggested names as an aid in reaching a final decision.

A study of MIAA athletic schedules shows that league teams are reaching far beyond the boundaries of the state for competitors. To mention only a few, Kalamazoo College's tennis squad embarked on a tour this spring, taking on such institutions as Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Cincinnati, Duke, and North Carolina; and Albion's base-ball team traveled to Evansville, Indiana and Berea, Kentucky. All six MIAA schools have added new out-of-state foes to their 1950 foot-ball schedules. Hope travels to Carroll College at Waukesha, Wiscon-sin; Hillsdale has added Heidelberg and retained Indiana State; Kala-mazoo has scheduled Wabash and Wheaton, retaining Wooster and De Pauw; Alma and Adrian will both play at Gannon College in Penn-sylvania, Adrian also meeting Assumption; and Albion will take on Ashland.
