Dr. De Haan Lectures at Illinois

Education of gifted children is a

responsibility of the community as

a whole, according to Dr. DeHaan,

chairman of the department of psy-

chology, who spoke recently at a

Conference for Junior High School

and Upper Elementary School

Teachers and Administrators.

Dr. DeHaan, addressing a lunch-eon meeting held April 12 at the University of Illinois, pointed out a grat i fying increase in interest in educating gifted children systema-tically. However, he stated, the community must not put the entire burden of identifying and guiding these fu ture scientists and cultural leaders solely upon the school sys-tems.

"Every community has specia-lists who have something to offer gifted children," said Dr. DeHaan. "These people should be utilized to aid professional educators in deve-loping programs for gifted child-ren."

He then outlined a program for enlisting the aid of educating lay-men in the community, and stress-ed that such programs had been tried in test situations and received with enthusiasm by both profes-sional school people and community leaders. Such a program should center in the school, said Dr. De Haan, and the school would have responsibility for identifying gifted children and providing necessary administrative personnel to moni-tor the accelerated education pro-gram. Laymen trained in scientific or cultural pursuits would then be asked to assist the professional ed-ucators in their cwn specialties and spheres of interest.

Dr. DeHaan is the author of the book Educating the Gifted Child.

Semi-final and final elections for the Student Council and class presi-dencies were held April 16 and 17 in Van Raalte lobby with the final results being announced 9:30 P.M. April 17 in an all college assembly.

New president of the Student Council is Dick Brockmeier. Isla Van Eenenaam was elected to serve as vice-president. They were given the oath of office by retiring offi-cers, Bob Lesniak and Anna Geit-ner.

New class officers were announc-ed also. Retiring Junior Class Pre-ident Gene Klaaren turned his of-fice over to Fred Brown, new Sen-ior Class President. Rowland Van Es accepted the office of Junior Class President f rom Daryl Sieden-top, retiring Sophomore Class Pre-sident. The leadership of the Class of '61 was accepted by Dennis Hengeveld from retiring president Keith Van't Hof.

Percentages of the students that voted in the semi-finals according to class were the Seniors 66%, Jun-iors 73%, Sophomores 66% and Frosh 63%. For the finals the per-centages were: the Seniors 68%, Juniors 66%, Sophomores 61%, and Freshmen 62%.

Active campaigning began Mon-day April 14 at 6 A.M. Posters, serenading, and handbills were used to great extent in the campaigns. A limit of $15 was put on cam-paigning expenses.

Symphonette Tour . . . . Badlands, Black Hills and Buffalo

by Betty Ann Rothwell

Another symphonette tour, filled with fun and memories for all, has been completed. Dr. Rider kept himself busy conducting the eleven concerts and joining in the merri-ment with his twenty-nine musi-cians during their two weeks on the road.

Why don't you all join with us for a "typical" day on tour? The sun is just rising as sleepy-eyed musicians arrive at the bus only to be greeted by the cheery voice of the bus nurse, Betty Ann Roth-well with her daily morning pill call! Once we're off, card games begin in the aisles. All is settled and peaceful ( ?) when oops-another state border. (We crossed ten.) A warning is sounded and like an army corps at revelry, our well drilled fellows manage to hide away illegal folding chairs for border inspection, one-half second is the record! At one of these stops we almost lost Diane Sluyter as she rescued a tumbling tumble-weed to bring home. And speak-ing of losing someone, we actually did leave Greta Weeks behind in Rapid City, South Dakota to re-cuperate from illness, but she quickly rejoined us in Chancellor, South Dakota.

Riding became our second nature throughout the day, but there was always something to see, like corn fields, prairies, herds of cattle, and more corn fields! On an unusual day we might see a buffalo herd, or the capital at Lincoln, Nebraska, or the Red Rocks amphitheater in the Rockies, Pikes Peak, Cheyenne, Wyoming, the Black Hills, or the Badlands of South Dakota. These would be a little different!

Several of the members had a hay-day in the Wall Drug Store in the Badlands. The cowboys hats purchased there by Ev Nienhuis and Bill Kuyper were so becoming that two passing children cried, "Hey look, real cowboys!!"

As five o'clock drew near, we always became anxious to reach

our destination for the night. Any-thing could happen to us as, for instance, the night our bus was five tons overloaded for a road into town and school buses had to drive us to the church. Too bad we couldn't have used Judy Tysse's suggestion and held our suit cases on our laps to lighten the load! But we felt this wouldn't have been too helpful!

Upon entering each new town, our eyes were glued to the window looking for new scenery—or rather for new outhouses! Who would be the lucky one tonight? Walking beneath the Western moon wasn't always so very inviting during this vacation!

Before our nightly meal came 'mail call'! Bright eyes and happy faces were quite common when that letter arrived f rom the "most important person back home!"

Our evening concerts and play-ing experiences were all fun for us and each was a little different. The only real complaint came from our woodwind "Baroque" trio when they objected going to church five times on Sunday and playing each time to boot! One other concert will also stand out when Betty Ann, due to a bribe by her fellow musicians, turned the woodland glade into a South Dakota Pasture during her narration of Three Trees, You should have seen Dr. Rider's surprised look!

Af ter the concert is over it is time to find our homes for the night. With a gracious smile on our faces, we cheerfully greet our 'family'. Once at home your are royally fed and talked to as you sit droopy eyed into the wee hours telling "all about yourself!"

Well rain, shine, snow, or mud, the symphonette must get through! And thus we sleep a while to pre-pare ourselves for another "typi-cal" day!

We shall always have fond me-mories when they look back on Symphonette tour-1958.

Spice and Crumbs by Richard Jaarsma

Richard Jaarsma

It has been said that when the groundhog appears and the first crocus pushes its ugly little head above the cold ground, spring has then officially arrived. However,

these are not the real signs of spring. They are but signs that a weary nature has a-gain given in to the expectations of mankind and more out of compliance than anything else,

institutes a few trifles to make us think that a new season is here again.

The real signs of spring are the soggy and weather-beaten chairs at Kollen Hall, lef t outside in the rain; the throwing again of cigar-ette butts into the stone ashtrays instead of into the snow; the talk of Bock beer and smoked fish. These are the real signs of spring!

It strikes me, since spring is here, that this would be a good time to air some of the ideas that have been festering in the back of my brain, causing me to be rather moody and short-tempered a t times. As the housewife cleans her house—but the analogy has been used before.

One thing that has struck me in the past weeks is the macabre dis-play of posters around and within the college. Apparently this is not National - Keep - Your - College -Free - From - Litter - Week. I t

a position on the Student Council so important that we must throw up our hands completely, with reckless abandon, and deface the quiet beauty of the chapel and oth-er buildings with grotesque signs lauding the innate worth and good-ness of those candidates who pro-pose to better our college society? Ich weiss nicht!

With the advent of spring, it is the wont of many men of letters to be filled with a religious fervor for their sins, committed during the course of their dreary existence in the cold months of winter, and write what they call their "con-fession." Why should I be diffe-rent? Spring is here and I'll make a clean breast of everything! Here are a few of the things that I've always spoken against but really enjoy: I really like:

1. The smell of synthetic cabbage in the science building.

2. Hillbilly music, the more tenor the better.

3. Little Lulu comic books. 4. Harry S. Truman. 5. The singing commercial for L

and M cigarettes. 6. Channel 3 Clubhouse. (I 'm

blushing) Now that my conscience is free, I can walk with impunity between classes, with my head held high, instead of skulking around with a black cape over my face.

Incidentally, visit the book-store once in a while, and not only for required reading and souvenirs, but read something on your own. The Age of Belief put out by Men-

Sorority Meetings Feature Spring" Alpha-Phi:

Alpha-phi will meet tonight at 7:00 p.m. in the sorority room. A literary meeting is planned.

Arrangements are presently be-ing made for the sorority informal on May 9. Karen Nyhuis and Diane Sluyter are co-chairmen of the event.

Delphi: Members of the Delta Phi and

Alpha Sigma Alpha sororities held a joint meeting in the Music Build-ing on Friday, April 18th. The Delphis presented their annual spring fashion show with Marianne Hageman as Mistress of Fashions.

Dorian: Last Friday night's literary

meeting was centered around the theme "fishing." Af ter Janice Kyle led the devotions, Jan Blunt gave the serious paper which included a selection of poems about spring-time and the ar t of fishing.

Sheryl Yntema then took all the Dorians on an imaginary fishing trip which included impromptu dialogues, timed games, and cha-rades. The Dorians are looking forward to the picnic which is being arranged for the next meet-ing. Vice-President, Nina Mih, has also started plans for the Dorian Date Night which is scheduled for May 25th.

Dorian and Sibylline enjoyed a tea which was held in Durfee Lounge on Wednesday, April 23rd.

Sibylline: Members of Sibylline hed a lit-

erary meeting on April 18th with "April Showers" as its theme. Marcia Welch began the meeting with devotions. Kay Schreckengust presented a very "springy" serious paper, and Dale Burns followed with a humor paper concerning the sun bathers on Durfee roof.

"April Showers" was sung by Carol Houghtaling, Carol McCahan, and Sue Klyn, wearing spring skirts and blouses, and daffodils. They were accompanied by Ruth Wright.

Sorosis: Members of Sorosis are looking

forward to a meeting with the alumnae of their sorority on May 9th. Following this meeting, they will hold their spring house party.

Last Friday night Mary Vander-poel and Jan Miller were in charge of the literary meeting.

Frats Meet, Plan Informals

tor is a first choice on this side of the typewriter. Af ter tha t t ry the Age of Enlightenment or The Age of Reason. If they're not in, the ineffable Mr. Wade and all the rest of his troupe will be glad, nay, de-lighted to procure them. Govern-ment students, there's an excellent copy , a t j )0 cents I believe, (check me on that) of Machiavelli's The Prince. If you're going into poli-tics, it serves as a handy rule of thumb for despotism.

As I said in the beginning of this essay, — No. I'd better skip that. I hope I'm not boring you. But I do think—I mean personally speaking—Rather, if we m u s t -Let's see, where was I.

Arcadian: The Arcadian Fraternity was ad-

dressed this past week by John Van Dyke who presented the seri-ous paper entitled " C O S M I C RAYS." Also participating in the literary meeting were: Bob Van Etten who led the fraterni ty in devotions and Waleed Karachy who presented the humor paper.

During the business meeting, the theme for the Arcadian Informal Spring Party, "Oriental Evening", was announced by Mel Ver Steeg and Paul Van Wyk who are the co-chairmen for the event. The party is to be held at Prospect Point.

Cosmopolitan: This evening the Cosmopolitan

fraterni ty will be addressed by Rev. Harold Englund of the Second Reformed Church of Zeeland. Fred Brown will give the humor paper at this literary meeting.

This past weekend the fraterni ty heard a serious paper entitled THE INFLUENCE OF JOHN CALVIN ON OUR PRESENT POLITICS. This paper was presented by Lee Wenke. Others who took part in the literary meeting were: George Worden, who presented his state and sectional prize winning oration THE PUBLICAN, Phil Toppen, who gave the humor paper, Fred Brown who lead the fraterni ty in prayer, and Vice-president Dennis Kamp who introduced the speak-ers.

The co-chairmen for the Cosmo-politan Spring Informal, Nick Vanderbourgh and Larry Arends announced the various chairmen and committees for the event. The informal is to be held at Castle Park.

During the business meeting the fraterni ty elected into its member-ship Peter Elzinga of the Elzinga and Volkers Construction Com-pany, as an honorary member.

Resentment Over Slights Can Cause Major Ailments

Resentment over real or fancied insults can rob us of vital energy and even effect our health. So says the February Reader's Digest in an article titled "The High Cost of Hurt Feelings."

Headaches, indigestion, insomnia, acute fat igue and even heart dis-ease and ulcers are frequent by-products of resentment, reports author Ardis Whitman. A study made at the University of Colora-do showed tha t people who consist-ently nurse small grievances are more likely to need hospital care than those of happier disposition.

Accidents, too, often result f rom bitterness. Miss Whitman says. Drivers who use their cars when angry, industrial workers with "gripes" against the boss, house-wives who brood over their hus-bands' lack of attention all are f re-quent victims of serious mishaps, she says.

Psychiatrists say that memories of old irritations are at the root of many emotional problems. Small hur ts are exaggerated by constant recollection and soon become bloat-ed f a r beyond their real importance.

Grudge-holding never solves problems, Miss Whitman says. She quotes philosopher Irwin Edman who said: "We consume in hatred such energy as might be devoted to the improvement of the circum-stances which aroused our wrath."

How to overcome feelings of re-sentment ? The first step is to locate their source. Miss Whitman says. We will often find that we have blamed others for our own failings.

Once we have found and under-stood the reasons for our bitter-

Emersonian: During their last business meet-

ing, the men of Phi Tau Nu ac-cepted a proposed life insurance plan which is designed for the es-tablishment of a fund for the use of the f ra terni ty in fu tu re years. The acceptance of this plan cul-minated the fraterni ty 's search for a method of establishing a more active alumni association which would participate in aiding the active f ra terni ty in meeting their financial needs as well as estab-lishing a reserve fund for house improvements and scholarships. This insurance plan was accepted by the f ra terni ty a f te r several interviews with a representative of Mutual of New York.

The original plan, which was de-signed by Mutual of New York, was established for the purpose of having alumni of larger universi-ties and colleges contribute finan-cially to their alma mater. I t is believed that this is the first time that such a proposal has been adopted by a fraterni ty.

The plan involves interested members subscribing to a life in-surance policy with the company. The fraterni ty member is given the full coverage of the insurance policy. The interest from the policy is paid to the f ra terni ty for a predetermined period of time. Thus the member actively contributes to the fraterni ty now and also when he is an alumni.

To administer the newly estab-lished fund, a board of advisors will be established.

Fraternal: Norman Peddie lead the f ra ter -

nal society in devotions at their literary meeting this past Friday evening. "Philosophies of life" were presented by Mick Faber, Henry Doele, and Richard Gantos. Also included in the meeting were: Jack Faber who presented the humor paper, Dan Ritsema who lead group singing and Art Olsen who served as master critic.

Richard Gantos and Mert Vander Lind, co-chairman of the O.K.E. Spring Informal Party, announced that it would be held on Friday evening. May 23.

During the business meeting final arrangements were made for the annual Fra te r Frolics which is being held Wednesday through Saturday of this week.

Knickerbocker:

Kappa Eta Nu this past week-end was addressed by Dick Bennett who presented a serious paper titled THE BATTLE OF SARA-TOGA. Others participating in the literary meeting were: Pete De Jong who lead devotions. Art Bilyeu who presented a music paper, and Stu Dorn who presented the humor paper.

ness, the next step is to t ry to find a constructive way to combat it, she says. An American couple whose son was killed in World War II refused to let bitterness cloud their memory of him. Instead, they used his GI insurance to edu-cate a young Japanese at an Amer-ican university.

Love and hate generally bring for th similar emotions, Miss Whit-man reports. Harvard studies showed that a friendly approach to others evokes a friendly response 65 to 90 per cent of the time. An aggressive approach is responded to aggressively in the same pro-portion, she says.

"The wise do not merely drain away old grudges," she writes. "They constantly fill their lives with new dreams and new enthu-siasms."

"The High Cost of Hurt Feel-ings" is condensed from the Christ-ian Century.

Eugene TeHennepe to Attend Harvard on Danforth Fellowship

Eugene Te Hennepe has recent-ly received notification of his ap-pointment as a Danforth Fellow and of his acceptance a t Harvard University. He will begin graduate study at Harvard next fall, work-ing toward a Ph.D. in philosophy.

Gene is a veteran whose home is Baldwin, Wisconsin. Following graduation f rom high school, he completed a two-year course in business administration. He also tried his hand at selling, clerical work, and a year of hunting and fishing before coming to Hope. At Hope he has been active in the YMCA, I.R.C., and the Chapel Choir, maintaining an outstanding academic record as well.

In order to use the Danforth Fellowship a t Harvard, he turned down two other scholarships: the Regents at the University of Mich-igan, and the Knapp Fellowship at the University of Wisconsin.

The Danforth Fellowship, subject to yearly renewal on the basis of satisfactory work, is an all-expense scholarship intended to aid the stu-dent in at taining his Ph.D. for the purpose of college teaching. Be-sides financial aid, the Fellowship has Danforth representatives on each campus and conducts a one-week camp a t the end of each sum-mer fo r the purpose of stimulation and guidance.

OUR SENIORS SPEAK Editors Note: The following arti-cles are the first in which the Anchor will a t tempt to duplicate somewhat the recent experiment at Princeton University by having several seniors express, each week, their opinions and philosophies on Education, Religion, Politics, Mar-riage, etc. The topic fo r this week is Education.

An Science Student Speaks on Education . . .

In order tha t we might get to the root of the problems in Ameri-can education, we must first look to the elementary school. Living in an atomic age, as we do, the children should be taught the fun-damentals of education. I think that too many frills and not enough of the essentials are being taught in our schools today.

A foreign language should be in-troduced into the lower grades of the elementary school. In some communities this has been done, for children are just as capable and more enthusiastic about learn-ing a foreign language in the grades than they are later in high school.

With the importance of science in the world today, our children should also be given a taste of science, for they will be the scien-tists and leaders of tomorrow.

I fimly believe that those people who are called "gif ted" by psycho-logists, should be separated from the rest of the group and given special instruction. Too many brains are going to waste by being held back with the slower pupils.

The high school, on the whole, is too lax—kids are gett ing away with "murder"! High school stu-dents could take much more than they do—they are just becoming soft sitting in study hall! They should be required to take some math and science, as well as Hist-ory and English.

On the college level, I feel that a course in philosophy should be required of all students. People must learn to think! That is one of the problems of the American people . . . they don't know how!

We hear people talking about the changes that must be made in our high schools and colleges, but first of all, I think we must make some changes in our elementary system—where basic training be-gins.

Music, Speech Depts. Entertain Local Groups

Several music students accom-panied by Miss Jant ina Holleman of the Music Facuty, performed on April 15 a t a program in the First Reformed Chudch, Grandville. Ma-rianne Wildschut, Betty Bloemen-daal, Jane Klaasen, Ardi th Van der Willen, f rom the piano ensem-ble classes, and Judy Tysse, violi-nist, appeared. The film, "Know Your Colleges" was shown and Miss Holleman spoke. At the con-clusion of the program, tne group was presented with a beautifully decorated cake to be shared by music students.

Dr. William Schrier and George Worden spoke to the Holland Ro-tary on April 17. "Behind the Scenes in Oratory" was the theme of Dr. Schrier's discussion which centered around the speech pro-gram of Hope. George gave his state-prize oration speech "The Publican." H e . delivered this speech at The National Speech Contest Thursday, April 24.

An Education Student Speaks on Education . . .

Since the threat of Russian supremacy in the field of science, the American people have awak-ened to the realization that our system of education may not be the best in the world. Consequent-ly, the adoption of the European educational system was proposed as a solution to our scholastic lag. The fact that the American ideals of education have developed over the past two hundred years with the growth of our country was overlooked. They cannot be radi-cally changed over night. There-fore, I feel that the basic structure of the American education should be retained, however, I suggest two areas in w h i c h improvements should be accomplished.

One of the supposedly good points of the American high school program is tha t the student Tias the opportunity to develop socially through participation in extra-curricular activities. The ironic fact, however, is that the socially mature individual becomes more poised and self confident by active participation in school activities while the socially awkward individ-ual sits on the sidelines because he feels that his personality and abil-ity are inferior. American stand-ards call for recognition of the athletic hero or the lead in a play. Why not honor the student who has a superior academic average?

Secondly, I feel that the learning process can best be accomplished in a classroom where students can think and reason together. We can look to our European neighbors for proof of this fact. The Ameri-can high school classroom is an impossible situation in tha t widely differing abilities exist side by side. The teacher at tempts to compro-

Dr. W. Schlag, Speaker at April 16 IRC Meeting

"The New Austr ia" was discuss-ed by Dr. Wilhelm Schlag, the Cultural Affairs Officer of the Austrian Consulate General, at the April 16 meeting of the Hope IRC.

Beginning with the Austria of 1918, Dr. Schlag mentioned the cus-toms union with Germany that was organized in 1931 and the An-schluss of 1938. Emphasizing the fact that the new growth of Aust-rian nationalism conflicts with Communism, the speaker showed ho wthe Russians attempted and, to some extant succeeded in, seizing many of the present and fu ture oil fields as well as many other Aust-rian goods. The Russians failed, however, to control the very im-portant posts of the Ministry of Interior (which controls the police) and the Ministry of Education. To-day the Communist influence on the small, democratic republic of Aust-ria is practically nil.

Continuing, Dr. Schlag said that Austria, like Switserland, is now a neutralized country, she cannot make any military or economic treaties with any other country. Howver, he said, Austr ia does de-vote much of her time to the de-velopment of such cultural centers as opera house and theatres, which have been termed the "best of all German-speaking ones." Austria has learned tha t she is "valuable and must play an important role in helping to lead the Eastern Euro-pean countries.'

Opus to Be Released In Mid-May

Opus editor Jane Gouwens has announced that the magazine will be released "sometime in the mid-dle of May."

For the most part Opus is writ-ten by the students and contains work in the fields of literature, music, and art . Besides twelve literary contributions there is also a faculty article on Hamlet. This piece was written by Professor Henry Ten Hoor of the department of English.

Ar t instructor, Mr. Harry Bror-by, has submitted two prints. Music, too, has been written for the maga-zine.

The Opus staff is composed of seven members, excluding the edi-tor-in-chief. Ar t editor is Stan Harrington while Music editor is Ruth Wright.

Jane Tomlinson, Chuck Lemmen, Jim Clark, Dave Cassie, and Dave Spaan make up the li terary com-mittee. Faculy advisers are Eng-lish Professors James Prins and Joy Talbert. When the magazine is published copies of it will be available in the Blue Key Book Store.

Tri Betans Attends M. S. U. Conference

Six members of the Alpha Eta Chapter of Beta Beta Beta of Hope College attended he Saturday ses-sion of the Sub-regional Conven-tion, Northeastern Region, West-ern District held at Michigan State University on April 19th.

Morning activities consisted of scientific papers presented by members of M. S. U. and Alma College. These reports included an interesting study being made on the constituency of the salivary amylase of monozygotic and dizy-gotic twins on M. S. U.'s campus and its relation to dental caries.

Tours were conducted, during the afternoon, of the various Biologi-cal - science laboratories. L a b s visited included Zoology, Botony, Anatomy, Physiology, Entomology, Herpetology, Bacteriology, Ichthy-ology, and Gentics.4 In each depart-ment either a professor or grad-uate student explained the different types of research being done and answered questions.

Later in the afternoon a tour was made of the b a m housing experimental cattle. Here the most interesting feature was the study being made of a few cows into whose stomachs a f is tula or open-ing had been made f rom the out-side. Through a glass window the contents could be visualized and removed for bacteria studies.

Students representing Hope at the conference were: Ray Becker-ing, Clarice Hull, Larry Schut, Sallie Smith, John Stryker, and Evelyn Zylstra. Dr. Phillip Crook, faculty advisor, accompanied the group.

Voorhees Day Tea To Be Held May 6

The Dean of Women and Hope College women invite their mothers and friends and the woman friends of Hope College to the annual Voorhees Day Tea. The tea will be held May 6, 1958 from 3 P.M. to 5 P.M. a t Voorhees Hall.

This tea is held each year in memory of Elizabeth Voorhees who, with her husband, donated funds for the building of the woman's dormitory which bears her name. Annual tribute has been paid to Mrs. Voorhees on the Tuesday nearest her birthday since May 8, 1912, when the tradition was in-augurated by the late Winifred Durfee, then Dean of Women.

Receiving the guests will be Miss Emma Reeverts, Dean of Women, Mrs. Mary Tellman, head resident of Voorhees Hall, Mrs. Marguerite Lubbers, wife of the college presi-dent, and the newly elected presi-dents of the women's organizations on campus.

Darlene Elzinga, social chair-man of House Board, is heading preparations for this event.

How About It, Girls? Some say girls are like news-

papers: They have form; they al-ways have the last word; back numbers are not in demand; they have great influence; you can't believe everything they say. They are thin—thinner than they used to be; they get along by adver-tising; and every man should have his own and not try to borrow his neighbor's.

From the Editors Desk The 1958 campus elections are now history. While the new officers

are certainly to be congratulated, it is even more appropriate to con-gratulate the retiring Student Council officers, Bob Lesniak and Anna Geitner, for a job well done. 1 am sure that 1 speak for the entire student body when I say that the efforts of these two to maintain good government at Hope College have not gone unappreciated.

Religious Activity Poses Vital Queries Real Thought, Concern Not 'Revival' Needed

"I believe tha t higher education can make a unique contribution to morals and religion. I do not believe it can make some of the con-tributions expected of it, and I think these expectations obscure the real purposes and achievements," stated Robert M. Hutchins in a telling comment on the responsibility and the inadequacy of campus religious activity.

- Viewed in these terms the current campus "religious revival" often seems f a r wide of the mark. Not only do detailed studies such -as that of the Harvard Student Council cast doubt on its depth, they even suggest that more noise, not more students participating, is the major change over the past ten years. Too often religious emphasis weeks are exactly that—religion for one week—and church attendance is compartmentalized and empty of relation to daily decisions.

Granted Hutchins' contention that the purpose of higher educa-tion is to provoke thinking about important subjects and to stimulate the discovery of as much truth as can be learned about them neither unthinking piety nor occasional inspiration is adequate. Year round work with a real relation to everyday problems and individual decisions is needed. This exists on a few, but all too few, campuses.

President Bernard Christenson of Augusburg College recently framed the goals of such a program in terms of three realizations it should bring to the individual:

"I must do for my brother that my brother cannot do for himself." His need for material assistance and equality of opportunity are my concern." We are not called to the canon of conventional respectabil-ity." I t is not enough to hold "Christian" views and allow others to deny the rights of our fellow men. "When our own initiative and ef-fort is not enough, then we must turn to society." Each of us is re-sponsible for seeing that problems are tackled, not for following af ter someone else leads.

Student Thought on Student Marriage

To marry or not to marry while in college is a big question for many students. A Seattle Pacific college sociology professor. Dr. C. Melvin Foreman, has done research on the subject, recording the views of many students.

Here are some of his findings, as reported by SPC's FALCON.

Forty percent of the married couples said they wouldn't recom-mend combining college and marri-age.

Wives who m a n y a f t e r their so-phomore year but before gradua-tion take a dim view of the ven-ture. Perhaps in retrospect the time between their former single status and graduation now seems very short, but at present the graduation goal looks unattainable.

Wives who marry a f te r high school graduation or in the fresh-man year seem happy. Perhaps their education aspirations were limited.

Couples who financed marriage with just one partner assuming major financial support didn't re-commend marriage. Those who had worked out what they considered a cooperative financial program were willing to advocate marriage.

Having children while a student did not significantly affect atti-tudes. However, having an unplan-ned child created a negative feel-ing toward being a married under-graduate.

Students who began their first serious dating in college were hesi-tant to advocate marriage. Dr. Foreman noted many of these "had been involved in a brief but in-tensive pattern of courtship."

Parents play a part in the suc-cess of the campus marriage. Men who were reluctant to recommend marriage came from homes where there had been strong parental op-position to the marriage in the first place. Parental opposition did not appear to be a factor in the lives of wives opposing college marri-age.

Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor: You may, if you choose, disre-

gard this letter as the usual, and therefore unimportant grumblings of a typical alumnus of the college: given to criticizing anything and everything that is done on campus if done differently- than when he was there.

But as a recent graduate, and one who, as a student, was close to both the student council and the Anchor, I feel constrained to ex-press my increasing concern at the present attitude toward the work of the student council as expressed in your columns.

From time to time during the year, I have noted mention of an amendment to the Council's consti-tution, making class officers mem-bers ex-officio of that body; in the latest issue, I see an editorial above your signature taking the council to task for its system of elections, a system which you claim gives un-due weight to the fraternities and sororities.

As a member of the committee which revised the constitution some two years ago, allow me to state the case for the Council as present-ly constituted. Before the revision, representation on the council was a rat 's nest of confusion: representa-tives were elected from virtually any and all student organizations, and from the classes, which scarce-ly qualify as "student organiza-tions" in the accepted sense of the word.

When the committee was wrest-ling with the problem of repre-sentation, a major portion of our time was spent considering the philosophical basis of representa-tion. We believed at that time, and I believe now, that this basis rests in communication. It should be axioatic that no one can t ru ly re-present an organization with which he either cannot or does not com-municate.

It was for this reason that the class officers were NOT made re-presentatives to the Council. The average class had, I believe, about three meetings annually during my tenure as a student, and I highly doubt that the percentage is appre-ciably greater now.

In dealing with the representa-tion issue, we were, then, confront-ed with a situation not of our mak-ing. I refer to the strength of the campus fraternit ies and sororities. Anyone who has had the opportu-nity of comparing the fraternities at Hope and those at, say a state school such as I am now attending, canno but be struck by several facts: (a) Hope has an unusually high percentage of affiliation (two years ago it was 75% for the men and 98.7% for the women); (b) the rivalry between them, although great, is exceptionally "friendly" in comparison to other schools; (c) most of the campus social life centers, directly or otherwise, a-round these societies.

This was, as I have said, a situa-tion to be reckoned with, not an "ideal" one. The fact that the fraternit ies and sororities are pri-mary channels of communication on campus cannot be denied, but it should be obvious to anyone who has eyes to see. I F the class or-ganizations were important on Hope's campus, the situation would be different; if classes held weekly meetings, and took time for a stu-dent council report as the fraterni-ties do, this would be an entirely different system. But the first con-sideration in political organization is, and must be, the facts as they are, not as we would like to have them.

We cannot make the classes stronger by fiat of the student council. Placing class presidents

on the council will not increase the strength of either the classes or the council. And once the door is opened to representatives outside of those of the fraterni ty and in-dependant groups, who is to draw the line between organizations en-titled to send a representative and those not so privileged. Once this kind of hunt gets started, some pretty wild geese can get chased!

The thrust of your editorial seems to be that fraternities are nominating their most "popular" candidates, rather than those most qualified to hold office. With this opinion, I do not agree, particular-ly in light of those men nominated for this year's offices—all personal friends of mine. But, assuming that it were true, I see no reason to ex-pect that the nominees of any other group would follow a different pat-tern. There is a tendency in all elections of any kind to elect the most "popular" man, and no wish-ful thinking to the contrary can change this fact. And, regrettable as it may seem, the first duty of any candidate is to get elected, for it goes without saying that no pro-gram can be effected by a losing candidate.

Dear Editor: You mention that it "does not

take much imagination to think of remedies" fo r the gloomy picture you have painted. Might I point out that it takes even less imagina-tion to envision maladies where none exist. The propensity to "meddle" with an established order without first considering the con-ditions under which that order be-came established is a common one in human affairs.

If conditions h a v e i n d e e d changed since last year, perhaps I am the "voice crying in the wilder-ness", chanting the ritual of an obsolete age. If this be true, I should be the last person to stand i iu tbe way of progress. But your contentions are not borne out by the facts; and one of these facts is that the men running for elec-tion this year are all well-qualified to hold office, regardless of from whom they secured their nomina-tion.

The limit of what can be estab-lished by legislation is one which meddlers constantly forget. Man cannot be improved by edict or statute, as those who supported the Eighteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution discovered to their sorrow. Their fight to abolish the consumption of alcohol not only failed in its principle aim, but ushered in new evils of bootleg-ging, hijacking, and organized crime. Alas, but noble precepts do not always vanquish stubborn facts, particularly when imposed from an external source rather than evolved internally.

Should the Constitution of the student council need amendment, by all means tailor it to suit changed conditions, but do not tamper with it out of a lack of other work to do. To do so is to invite fur ther confusion and dis-aster by the process best described as "throwing out the baby with the bath water."

EDITOR'S NOTE: Apparently Mr. Winter does not read the ANCHOR editorials very carefully, for he has not only misjudged the spirit in which they were written but he has also read several things into them which do not appear th$r&..

I do not, as Mr. Winter seems to believe, advocate anarchy. Pas t editorials have aimed at bringing the Student Council Amendments to the attention of the student body and have chided the student body for a lack of interest in Stu-dent Council affairs.

I have great respect for the Student Council, but, being a man-

made institution, it is not perfect. Furthermore, I see nothing com-mendable in imitating the ostrich and pretending that its imperfec-tions do not exist. Neither do 1 see anything commendable in com-promising with its imperfections. If that were an honorable thing to do, Christianity, likewise, would long ago have furled its banners and given up the struggle with sin, declaring sin to be not an "ideal" condition but one "to be reckoned with."

Mr. Winter discusses at length the basis of Student Council re-presentation, defending the socie-ties as "channels of communica-tion." That is his privilege, but it really is unnecessary to argue the point with me. I never mentioned, let alone criticized the present sys-tem of representation—society re-presentation. On the contrary, I heartily approve of any system that grants adequate representa-tion to all—society members and independents.

The electoral system which was the subject of my editorial is an-other matter and is, I still believe, the weakest aspect of student gov-ernment a t Hope College. That women are not permitted to seek the office of Student Council Pres-ident, that well qualified indepen-dents and "inactives" cannot seek office, and that many well qualified students are kept f rom running be-cause each society can nominate only one candidate for each office, are matters of fact that cannot be refuted. That societies are tempted to nominate their most popular members, that elections tend to be-come just another area of society rivalry, and that this rivalry is the first concern of most voters is ad-mitted even by the society them-selves.

That the societies yielded to temptation this particular time and nominated "popular" candidates for Student Council offices, I did not state and did not mean to in-fer. I do not believe that anyone on campus received that impression either!

I am rather surprised to be call-ed a "meddler." Most of my critics accuse me of not "meddling" enough. Whether my title be ed-itor-in-chief or meddler-in-chief, I plan to continue bringing to the attention of the campus matters that I think are of significance.

"Cold War" Conference Report

by K. Earl Scudder

Hope College was recently among thirty educational institutions, east of the Rocky Mountains, that were extended an invitation tb attend the Twentieth Annual Public Af-fairs Conference at Principia Col-lege. Principia, the only Christian Science College in the World, is situated on a fourteen-acre campus, on the banks of the Mississippi River, near St. Louis. This year's conference was the twentieth of its kind held on the Principia Cam-pus. Since 1939, the School of Gov-ernment at the Principia College has presented a PAC either for its own students and undergraduates or including faculty delegates from colleges and universities f rom the the Middle West.

The Conferences are organized and conducted entirely by the stu-dents of the College. Students choose the topics, write the analy-sis book, and administer the con-ference procedure and all the de-tails with the aid of the committee work of 150-200 students. Great pride is taken in the fact that Principia is one of the three schools in the United States to hold an annual public affairs conference. The others are West Point and Texas A. and M.

The schools participating in the 1958 Conference were: Texas A. and M., Ball State College, Carthage College, CCNY, Eastern Illinois University, Greenville College, Har-ding College, Harr is Teachers Col-lege, Hope College, University of Illinois, University of Missouri,

University of Tulsa, Wabash Col-lege, W a s h i n g t o n University, Wayne State University, State Uni-versity of South Dakota, Rockford College, R o o s e v e l t University, Southern Illinois University, South-ern Illinois University (ROTC), Southwestern at Memphis, U.S. Air Force Academy, West Point Mili-tary Academy, University of Hous-ton, Illinois College, Illinois State Normal University, Indiana State Teachers College, Monmouth Col-lege, Ouachita Baptist College, and Parsons College.

Af te r arriving at the Principia Campus April 17, the participating delegates were briefed on the vari-ous aspects of the Cold War by seven prominent governmental and foreign affairs experts. Here are some details on their qualifications and parts in the Conference.

Charles Burton Marshall, deliver-ing the keynote address for PAC on Thursday, laid out the whole problem of the Cold War in over-all analysis. Mr. Marshall is an Associate at Washington Center for the Study of Foreign Policy. From January, 1955 - June, 1957, he was Political Advisor to the Prime Minister of Pakistan. He is also author of the book. The Limits of Foreign Policy.

The political warfare expert for the conference was Dr. Robert Bowie. Currently Director of the Harvard University Center for In-ternational Affairs, Mr. Bowie graduated f rom Princeton summa cum laude. He has also served as advisor to Secretary Dulles a t the London Conference on the Suez problem.

Norman Burns advised the dele-gates on the economic aspects of

the PAC problem. Mr. Burns is Deputy Regional Director for the Near East and South Asia Interna-tional Cooperation Administration of the Department of State. From 1958 to 1956 he was chief economic advisor to the United Nations Re-lief and Works Agency in Beirut. Mr. Burns is the author of The Tariff of Syria, 1933.

Henry A. Kissinger, military ex-pert for PAC, is serving the gov-ernment as Consultant to the Oper-ations Research Office, and to the Weapons Systems Evaluation Group of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Dr. Kissinger has published two books: Nuclear Weapons and For-eign Policy and A World Restored.

Stephan T. Possony, advisor in psychological cold war, was born in Vienna in 1913 and educated in Austria. Dr. Possony's present role is that of professor of Internation-al Politics in the Graduate School of Georgetown University in Wash-ington, D.C. His writings include Tomorrow's War (1938), and Stra-tegic Air Power (1949).

Saville R. Davis, Managing Ed-itor of The Christian Science Mon-itor, spoke to delegates on the moral and spiritual aspects of the cold war problem. Mr. Davis has been with the Monitor since 1932 and served in such antebellum cap-acities as State Department and Mediterranean Correspondent, The Chistian Science Monitor, (despite recent adverse comments published in our Anchor), has been noted as one of the most outstanding news-papers in this country.

Af te r the Keynote and brief-ings, the delegates split up into commissions for discussion. Mode-rators for the commissions were

students rather than experts, as the purpose of the commission is for students to think and reason with other students rather than to absorb from one wiser and more experienced. Points discussed were: (1) Military Doctrine—limited or total war and conventional or nu-clear war, (2) Disarmament, (3) Evaluation of Summit Meetings, (4) Neutralization of Europe, (5) North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-tion, and (6) Uncommitted a n d / o r underdeveloped states or areas in general. A few of the results were tha t : (1) NATO allies should be supplied with nuclear armaments, if they desire them. (2) Basic re-search and nuclear information should be shared with our allies for the promotion of greater effi-ciency. (3) Summit meetings are of little avail without preliminary conferences. (4) De facto recogni-tion should be granted to Red China. The result of ten hours of discussion was a commission report recommending specific policies or alternatives to policy, with reasons for these recommendations, and ex-pected beneficial and detrimental consequences of each policy.

April 19 the delegates again as-sembled in plenary session to hear the reports of the separate com-missions and the summary address by Dr. William Y. Elliott. Dr. El-liott, who has addressed 19 of the 20 Public Affairs Conferences, not only is a member of the govern-ment department a t Harvard Uni-versity, but also has had much practical governmental experience. Until summer of 1957 he was a member of the National Security Council Planning Board, and is now a consultant fo r Under-Secretary of State, Christian A. Herter .

and Robert Vander Lugt, though noting that they had been as ade-quately prepared as students from the other participating institutions, left the Conference a little disturb-ed by the student's lack of know-ledge, by the tremendous scope of foreign policy, and by the many different opinions of honest men with similar ends to be reconciled in a democracy. Only by realizing where and by how fa r we fall short of the idea'ls of a democracy can we lessen the distance between fact and ideal.

Hope Sweeps Doubleheader In MIAA Opener Against Adrian Hope Trackmen Lose First Meet to GRJC 70-61

Unable to overcome the big lead built up by the GRJC Raiders in the field events, the Hope track and field unit went down in defeat last Saturday afternoon, 70-61. The track events took place a t the 22nd Street location, wi th . the field events were held a t 13th Street.

Mainly on the s t rength of Jer ry Priebe's first place performances in the shot put, javelin, and discus, GRJC gained a 22 point advantage a f t e r the field events were com-pleted. Priebe executed a javelin throw of 205 ,2", a JC record. Ro-land "Pooch" Schut took Hope's only first in the field events with a pole vault of 11'6".

Hope began to close the gap as the track events progressed, but slipped back in the high hurdles. The best Hope could manage was a third, accounted for by Jer ry Hill. In former years, Hope would have taken a first and a second in this event thanks to Paul Wieger-ink and Jim Hilmert. However, neither Wiegerink nor Hilmert is expected to participate in that particular event this year. Af te r that , the Dutchmen could not make up enough points to overtake the Raiders.

First place winners fo r Hope in addition to Schut were Dave

for four runs in the very first inning. Bulldog s ta r t e r developed arm trouble a f t e r hi t t ing r ight-fielder Jack Faber with a pitch. Art Olson socked his replacement for a single. Jack Kempker got a f ree pass and Moon Morgan sin-gled across a pair of runs. Brede-weg's smash to third scored Kemp-ker. Morgan came across on a passed ball fo r the four th run.

In the fifth inning Hope added a single tally when Olson reached base on a fielder's choice, stole second, and scored on Kempker 's single. The Dutch completed the scoring in the sixth when they picked up another run. Andree was safe a t first on an error, advanced to second as Faber walked, moved to third on Olson's single, and scored on Kempker 's deep f ly to center.

The second game was a much closer battle. Though Hoffman's pitching was effective all the way, Adrian picked up one run in the first and two in the seventh. The last two runs came as a result of a number of Hope fielding miscues and were unearned. Meanwhile, the Dutchmen garnered two runs in the third as Thomson singled, stole second, and tallied on the Adrian 's shortstop's muff of Beernink's grounder. Olson singled Whitey to third where he scored on a wild pitch.

Hope's other two runs came in the four th and fifth innings. Je r ry Boeve singled in the fourth. He promptly pilfered second, and then reached third on a ground out. A wild pitch enabled him to score. In the fifth, Kempker poled a long three bagger to center. Jack Fa-ber's single brought in the run.
