Men's Dorm Contracted;

Music Building Announced Elzinga and Volkers, who re-

cently completed the Seminary building, have been awarded the contract for the new men's dorm to be erected on the corner of 12th and Columbia. The dorm is to be completed by August 31, 1956.

Also, contractors now have been invited to make bids on a new Music Building, which will stand at the west end of the athletic field.

Elzinga and Volkers' bid fo r the men's dorm, $916,790, is subject to the approval of the Housing and Home Finance Agency, a subsidiary of the Federal Housing Adminis-tration. Ground breaking ceremon-ies, which must take place on or before October 22, await the gov-ernmental approval of the contract.

The dorm, on which four con-struction firms bid, will be " L " shaped, three stories high, and will house 300 men in 150 rooms.

When bids on the music building have been opened, it can be deter-mined whether ground may be broken immediately or if a period of financial accumulation is neces-sary. Endracht has contributed $100,000 toward this fund.

The unit will be of modern de-sign and contain classrooms, stu-dios, and rooms for practice. A band-orchestra room will be con-nected to the main s t ructure by a pergola. The present 12th Street-to-Carnegie drive will be rerouted.

Cast is Set

For Late C. Bean The Homecoming production of

Palet te and Masque this year will be The Late Christopher Bean by Sidney Howard. Contrary to what has been previously announced, the play will be presented on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, October 20th, 21st and 22nd.

Christopher Bean is a modern comedy with undertones of serious-ness. A painter named Bean has died in a small New England vil-lage. He supposedly leaves no money to pay his debts. A mad scramble ensues among his f r iends when his paintings are discovered to be of grea t value, and the effect

on the characters of those involved in the scramble is uppermost in the play.

The leading male roles will be played by Pete Kelley as Dr. Hug-get t and Pete De Moya as Rosen. Ann De Pree and Ja4 . Van Persum

will take the female leads as Abby and Mrs. Hagget t , respectively. Others in the cast include Marlin Vanderwilt as Wassen Kramer, Gerrit Hoek as Tawlant, John Ewing as Davenport, Aileen Mc-Goldrick as Ada Hagget t and Jane Go wens as Susan Hagget t .

Kiwanians Begin With The Orient Embarking upon its eighth sea-

son, the Holland Kiwanis Club is once again presenting i ts "World Travel Series" o f outstanding, beautiful motion pictures. Begin-ning October 5th, Kiwanis will bring to the Hope Memorial Chapel, six programs, each of these being of the film-lecture category. One hundred complimentary tickets, dis-tributed on a first come first served basis, will be available to Hope Students prior to each presentation.

On October 5th, Mr. Joe Fisher, a native of South Afr ica and who

Joe Fisher

lived in the F a r Eas t f o r many years, will begin the series by pre-senting his travelogue on "The Changing Orient." In this travel-logue the audience will be t rans-planted to such places as Hong Kong, the Philippines, Borneo, Bali, Malaya, Siam and India. Here i t will see holiday festivals, scenic wonders, flora and fauna, a r t s and

craf ts , temple ri tuals, and modern life in these old oriental cities.

"Touring Glorious Michigan" will be the topic of the travelogue to be presented by Dennis Glen Coop-er on Wednesday, October 26th. Those who live in, or near, Michi-gan, are apt to be unaware of its beauties and the at t ract ions tha t lure tourists f rom all over the Uri ted States and Canada, and a complete film on the "Water Won-derland" will open their eyes to the beauties they have missed — or never heard of.

Ethiopia, a little Kingdom that is rarely heard of, will be fea tured in Fred Christian's travelogue, "The Ethiopian Story" to be pre-sented on November 9th. This travelogue will reveal the land as on of weird customs, unusual peo-ple, wild beats, exciting scenery, and its progressively modern cities.

Paris is the focal point f o r al-most every tourist, and the whole of France is an aesthetic dream. From north to south, f rom east to west, Mr." Neil Douglas, the speak-er for the four th of the series to be held on January 4th, has cap-tured on film tha t which makes France this delightful tourist coun-try.

CMA Explained Dates Listed

As in previuos years, the towns-people and college personnel of Holland will be accorded the en-joyment of a concert series during the school season. Formerly spon-sored by Hope College, the concerts will now be presented by the Hol-land Civic Music Association, inte-gra t ing the interests of Hope Col-lege, the town of Holland, and groups in the outlying districts.

The Civic Music Association, joined in March by Holland, is a non-profit organization which is active both in the United States and Canada. It affords nationally-known ar t i s ts to its members and makes valid the memeber's tickets without additional cost to attend concerts everywhere the Civic Music Association operates.

Since a wide selection of touring ar t i s ts and groups was available, the organizing group of the Hol-land C.M.A. offered choice by ballot to those buying memberships to determine what ar t i s ts they wished to have appear in Holland this season. The ballot tabulations were rigidly adhered to; consequently, the series is one picked by those who were eagerly looking forward to at tending it.

The Association has sold 2147 t ransferable memberships, six hun-dred-fifty of which are student memberships with Hope College buying a block of five hundred. Those of you who already have college membership tickets know what the series is. No one will be admitted who docs not have a sea-son ticket. As there are no re-served seats, Holland members are asked to be seated twenty minutes before curtain t ime in order that Grand Haven members or those who belong to the C.M.A. in other towns may be seated.

The Grand Haven series of five concerts will soon be announced. All concerts in Holland will com-mence a t 8:00 P.M. with the ex-ception of November 18 when, due to businesses open in Holland, the concert given by the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra will begin a t 9:00 P.M.

Other dates a re : Oct. 13, Fer-rante and T e i c h e r ; Nov. 28, Goldosky Opera Company and "Don Pasquale"; Jan . 18, Leonard War-ren; Feb. 21, the Rabinoffs; and April 5, the Winged Victory Male Chorus.

Nell Salm on England What are some of the things

that impressed you most about the British Isles?" "What were some of the highlights of your experi-ence ab road?" These are two of a host of similar queries thrown at me by fr iends on every hand since I have returned f rom a sum-mer in England as Holland's Com-munity Ambassador.

There are many things I could say in response to such a question. First of all, I could begin to des-cribe the scenery. I could mention seeing heather-covered hillsides in a Scottish mist or the view f rom high on a rocky ben of the blue waters of Loch Lomond stretching out between gently rolling banks and braes into the dim grey dis-tance. I could describe the effect

of the slanting rays of the evening sun on bundles of newly harvested grain on a Norfolk f a rm. I could tell about picturesque thatched cottages, garden bright with flowers of all descriptions, the bleak North Seacoast, street scenes in London — the Mall, Piccadilly Circus, the fountains in Trafa lgar Square.

I could also answer the question by describing something of what I learned about the English way of life. I could weigh the merits of an educational system radically different than the American procedure; I could discuss the role of the Church of England. I could tell how I found the pace of life relaxed from the pell mell race of a mechanized society to the leisurely walk of an atmosphere which allowed t ime to live today f ree from the worries to tomorrow. This a tmosphere is reflected in a thousand ways. For instance, a young couple set t ing up housekeeping in England is much more likely to put their heads together over a seed catalogue and order some dahlia bulbs fo r their garden than to consider buying a washing machine — even a t a bar-gain. And I found it customary to ride a bicycle three miles into town to keep an appointment ra ther than to depend on the car. I fell in easily with the delightful custom of high tea. I learned to relish scones, suet pudding, and roast beef with Yorkshire pudding. I learned to say " twenty" instead of " twenny"; when I wanted something repeated. In small ways as well as in larger ways I learned much about a new way of life while I was in England.

But the real highlight of the summer to me does not lie in these things which I saw and learned, unforget table though they are. To me the supreme value of the summer lies in the warm human regard, the deep feeling of friendship which exists between the English family I lived with and me, their adopted American daughter and sister. I know tha t these people will be my fr iends for life. So of ten I am reminded of them. I walk down the street and I imagine I am tagging a f t e r Angela, my English sister, while she goes about feeding her chickens or exercising her horse. Someone tells a joke and in my mind's eye I can see Bruce, my English brother, with a mock-serious expression on his craggy fea tures exclaiming, "You ah vulgah!" I took a walk in the park yesterday and chanced to see a blooming rose of the same variety that my English mother cherished in her garden. Suddenly my throat tightened and I remembered the expression in her warm blue eyes when I left my English home. "Goodbye, dearie," was all she said, but there was a world of sympathetic understanding behind her words.

These memories along with many others which crowd in on me every day are the ones which are meaningful to me. Yes, I was impressed with the interior decoration of the Houses of Par l iament ; I was thrilled to walk f rom the Edinburg castle down the historic Royal Mile of tha t city. But a richer thrill came f r o m pedaling in the twilight down a country lane in Norfolk listening throughtful ly as Bruce, cycling beside me, soberly explained something of his philosophy of life.

I'm sentimental, you say ? Perhaps. But it is a kind of sentiment which I never want to lose. I think it is in making it possible fo r this close feeling of kinship to exist between individuals living in different countries tha t the Community Ambassador program performs its most valuable service. I know that I will never again allow the English people to be criticized as coldly formal or s tuffy or not given to making f r iends easily without rallying to their defense with an account of the warmth and welcome I received f rom my English family this summer. And I t rus t tha t the European conception of Americans as weirdly dressed, boastful , free-spending people who are informal to the point of rudeness has been somewhat altered in the minds of my English fr iends because they knew me.

EDITOR'S DESK

— BULLETIN — On short notice we received in-

format ion tha t one of the big oc-casions of the year will occur this coming Tuesday, first hour, when Robert Kazmayer, international correspondent and authori ty on Public Affairs, will address the s tudent body. This analysis on contemporary events will be of in-terest and value.

Student a la Mashed Registration was a mess. Could it not have been avoided?

With the facilities we have available, and the comparatively small number of students tha t must be processed, there is no excuse fo r a debacle such as occurred on Wednesday afternoon, September 20. Actual-ly it was just a repeat of last year. And we insist, fo r those we leave behind, tha t it not happen again next fall .

We already have received assurance f rom one source tha t steps will be taken. We wish they would be formulated now, by a special student-faculty committee, or bet ter yet, through the channels of the student government we have organized for such purposes.

We suggest tha t it be done immediately: while we still feel the sensitive par ts of our bodies being gently massaged by the sensitive par ts of other 's; as the mind questioned the possibility of Armageddon; and remember standing fo r an hour before a s ign—"Registrat ion Begins Here", while close to 100 people paraded through f rom another door.

The question was asked of us, "Why do students all come at once?" In answer we would ask — how can 600 upperclassmen go through registrat ion in the 21/2 hours alloted? — this being an average of 240 per hour. With only one professor handing out booklets and class schedules, this is an impossibility — at that , one new to campus and not fami l iar with our names. At t imes there were only three persons prepar ing the Statement of Fees. Even the physicist among them several times took two minutes in his calculations.

We suggest that , if necessary, the secretarial staff have a job analysis so tha t students may be notified of section changes and dropped courses before they arrive, a f t e r several hours wait , at the registrat ion desk.

We've cooled off a little, but we are still disgusted.

Quiet Roots Grow Deep On the opposite page is stated a t ru th fundamenta l to an educa-

tional philosophy, — "Education itself is a process, a search ra ther than an at ta inment ." While this is basic and true, the more one medi-ta tes upon it, the more confusing it may become. For we say tha t it is good to acquire knowledge, or to attain a certain intellectual level, — and we do not enter upon a search without hopes of a t ta ining an answer or a goal. The words a t ta in and acquire, used in the educa-tional sense, are dangerous and misleading.

Rather , let us use "pour and absorb." Education, to the masses and also to some who bear the label Educator, is thought of in the first sense — the dissemination of information f rom the professor to the student. But, so often this is like pouring alcohol into a pan — everything evaporates and nothing is absorbed. The teaching process should be one of rain — now sharp and st imulat ing the organism to stretch out in search of benefits, and then soft and gentle fo r ab-sorption and growth: and, as Wallace Stegner has said, " the plant should not be pulled up too often to see how the roots are coming."

Aldous Huxley — Ours is a world in which knowledge accumulates and wisdom decays.

and he brings its famous at t rac-tions to the screen — even to Chris-tian Dior's fashion show!

F i f th guest of the "World Travel Series" will be Mr. Julian Gromer, who will present his travelogue on "The Fabulous Gulf Coast". It be-gins a t the Suwannee River, in Florida, and goes all the way to the Rio Grande. Some of the places visited are Wakulla Springs fo r some under-water shots, Pensacola, Bellingrath Gardens, Biloxi, and New Orleans.

Mr. Robert Davis, famous photo-grapher , will present "Puer to Rico and the Virgin Islands", as the last travelogue of the Kiwanis series. In this his latest film-story, one will be taken f rom the ageless sea walls of San Juan, Puerto Rico, to the city of Charlotte Amalie in the Virgin Islands, where the old world blends with the new.

It is not of ten t ha t you will have an opportunity to see and hear travelogues of such a caliber so why not take advantage of the f r ee ticket offer. Get the "inside scoop" on places t ha t you otherwise would never have a chance to visit.

Most history or political science professors will s t ress a t some point in their course tha t democratic government is a reflection of the people being governed. Your Stu-dent Government can provide no more for you than you provide in enthusiasm, ideas, and willingness to help.

This year the Council is proud to have such capable and interested workers. Their ideas and efforts, supplemented by yours, w i l l s t rengthen us great ly. The Council has two groups to work with, add-ing to its potential. They are the MACSG, an association of Mich-igan student governments f rom schools of a similar size, and the USNSA. The la t ter group branches out to a national and international level and will be significant in raising our s tandards and goals.

You'll be hearing about us often. If you don't like what you hear, let us know and help us work out the differences. Student Govern-ment is fo r your benefit!

MINUTES Minutes of September 21, 1955:

The council met a t 7 P.M. in Van Raalte 101. The roll was taken and the minutes of June 2nd meet-ing were approved as read.

A motion was made to have an open discussion on N.S.A. I t was urged tha t everyone read the Mich-igan Student Bill of Rights and the information folders. One of the tangible benefits is a special .rate for study groups abroad. Fur ther discussion is pending on the send-ing of a delegate to the National Congress.

A motion was made and passed to postpone the selection of candi-dates fo r the two openings on the council in order to f u r t h e r investi-gate the candidates. The motion was amended to read f r e shman candidates.

Respectfully submitted, Carol Matheis

COMMENT At the first Student Council

meeting, three items of m a j o r in-terest arose. Firs t , the Klezt had been renovated over the summer and would be open to the student body a f t e r the Hope-Heidelberg game. Second, f reshmen w e r e given an enlarged role in the ranks of the Student Council. Third, your Student Council is thinking very seriously of adopting the constitu-tion of the National Student As-sociation (NSA) .

As a brief commentary on the first two, it might be suggested that as many council meetings as possible be held in the Kletz, sim-ply because such a location would st imulate more Student Council at-tendance. The increased representa-tion for f reshmen is, of course, a fine thing and little more could be added. Our prospective membership in NSA necessitates more com-ment. As you, the s tudent body, a re represented by the Student Council, the Student Council would be represented on a national level by the NSA. Thus, you would be represented, indirectly, by N S A and could, in a sense, be considered to be responsible fo r NSA's actions. This would put a large responsi-bility upon every member of Hope's student body and especially upon its Student Council. Therefore , we must consider careful ly its assets and liabilities, and then decide for or against the adoption of this constitution. We can' t let one or two members of our Student Coun-cil decide fo r us — this is our re-sponsibility.

I t seems both appropriate and wise to discuss, in this the first of a series of monthly columns on the UN, its forthcoming tenth an-niversary session — October 24; it seems appropr ia te to discuss the tenth anniversary in te rms of a par t icular contribution by the UN to the vibrant aspirations of man-kind fo r peace.

But first I must make it explicit tha t this column shall always main-tain an optimistic tone in discuss-ing workings of the UN; fo r I feel tha t the UN, while it is not a panacea fo r all the ills of the world, yet it is possibly the best tha t men have been able to devise, imperfect though i t may be, to en-able them to some day realize their peace.

In general terms, then, the par-ticular contribution is this : The UN is offering a means by which men are coming to realize tha t the age-old racial and cultural pre-judices they have held about each other are not valid. The prejudices brought about by ignorance are being dispelled by thinking men and women, working together for world peace. The West and the Eas t , Europe and Asia — all com-ing together with high hopes. I t is t rue tha t this is elementary and maybe a comprehensive survey of fac t s and figures should be set fo r th to prove the worth of the UN, yet I feel tha t when men can come together and have a meeting of minds, it demands recognition.

Pull Date Set, Coaches Named

One of the most famous tradi-tions of Hope College is the Fresh-men-Sophomore Pull. The 1955 edition of this event will be held on October 21 a t the tradit ional Black River pull site. This year 's competition is being directed by Student Council Pull Chairman Chuck Pettingill . In accordance with tradit ion the Sophs will be coached by a senior, Tom Ten Hoeve, while the f rosh will be coached by junior Joe Martin.

Eighteen men, including an an-chor man, comprise each pull team. It is generally agreed tha t the most essential element f o r a team is coordination, since the pull is a gruell ing ordeal which may be won or lost by poor timing. Thus many hours of practice must be put in before the event takes place.

Recent reports s ta te tha t the Black River is six fee t deep, cold, wet and slimy. This year 's Sopho-more team has the opportunity of becoming one of the new teams in the history of the Pull which has never hi t the water .

On the day prior to the Pull, the Pull Chairman, will flip a coin to determine which side of the river the respective teams will defend. The pull areas will be roped off during the contest to keep specta-tors away f rom the teams. In the last f ew years the judges have maintained a s t r ic t set of rules whereby a team will be disqualified in the case of interference by any spectator.

To brighten the scene of gr ime and g run t s each member of the team will have his own morale girl selected f rom the class he repre-sents. If the f reshmen should lose the Pull they will be requested to wear their pots f o r another week.

a medium like this in the past but never with such universality and in such an all-encompassing man-ner as the UN.

Have they met minds on all issues? No, but tha t is not the point. Progress is being made, how-ever slow. Nations have come to-gether and through technical assis-tance they have lifted the standard of living of people in many areas of the world. They have come to-gether and repelled invaders in Korea. They have come together to develop a workable system of disarmament. They have come to-gether to shepherd underdeveloped peoples and lands. There is indeed hope in all these things. And where the UN has failed, it is but a brief departure f rom an upward path.

October 24 is UN Day, and in recognition of this fact , the Presi-dent of the United States has is-sued a proclamation, par ts of which read thus:

". . . the United Nations repre-sents man's most determined and promising effort to save humanity for the scourge of war . . . The United Nations deserves our con-tinued firm support and . . . i ts success depends not only on the support given it by its members but equally on tha t of t the peoples of the member countries . .

On October 24, this community, responding to the President 's proc-lamation, will observe UN Day. The celebration will culminate in the evening a t the Hawkinson Memorial Lecture given by Dr. Karl Gruber, Austr ian Ambassador to the United States.

Let us be among the peace-makers, offering our prayers and support to the UN, in this, its tenth year.

The Social Circle Takes Its First Swing Cosmopolitan Fraternity

Over the summer, the walls of the Cosmo house were painted a light green, much to the delight of the men in the house. In addition, the f ron t lawn was graced with a new and bet ter sign in impressive gothic lettering. As usual, the Cos-mos will continue to sell HOPE pennants a t all the home football games, as well as distr ibuting desk blotters among the entire student body. In general. Cosmopolitan is looking forward to a very success-ful year.

Emersonian Fraternity

With the founding of the West-ern Fortess by the Emmies, a new era has opened. The bomb-proof card and ping-pong room is under construction and a new TV set in operation. The advisor fo r the com-ing year will be Mr. Russ DeVette of the athletic depar tment . All students are invited to look over our new house every Sunday a f te r -noon s tar t ing October 2nd. Home-coming plans are shaping up with the brothers eagerly awaiting the return of the alumni of the maroon and white.

Fraternal Fraternity When the men of Fra terna l re-

turned they found tha t the much needed showers and lavoratories had been installed. This along with new linoleum in the bathroom and asphalt tile in the card room rounded out the extent of improve-ments to the house. Mr. Tony Kooiker has been chosen the ad-visor for the coming year. Ex-cellent serious papers are expected as a few members of the f ra te rn i ty went abroad this past summer.

Homecoming will be the first main project fo r the Fra ters , and all the members are looking for-ward to the welcoming of the alumni.

James Galer will lead the men of KHN for the first semester, and assist ing him will be Bob Cook as Veep; Bob Vander Lugt, recording secretary; Joe Martin, t reasurer ; Tom McCall, sargeant a t a rms; J im Kranendonk, representative to the In te r f ra te rn i ty Council; Karl Hoellrich, representative to Coun-cil; and Ray Corbin, "Keeper of the Archives".

Due to an increase in funds the Knicks will complete the remodel-ing of the basement of the library on a larger and more elaborate scale.

SORORITIES

Now that the initial burs t of ex-citement which always accompan-ies bidding t ime has settled down somewhat, Hope's sororities have begun the fun-filled process of in-i t iat ing their pledges. The mem-bers of the various societies have recovered f rom their house parties and are directing their energies toward the welcoming of their pro-spective members.

Delphi

Last Saturday the Delphis had their first informal meeting of pledges and actives with a "choco-late" in the Delphi room. Chair-man of the event was Mary Vander Hoeven. The formal greet ing will be held tonight a t the pledge din-ner in Grandville with Mary Lee Rozeboom as general chairman.

Dorian

Af t e r the delivery of bids last Thursday morning, the Dorians wasted little time in welcoming their pledges. Pledge pins were awarded a t a dinner held the next day at Cumerford's. In the next few weeks, pledges and actives alike will join in preparat ion for Homecoming celebration.

Sibylline

The Sibs too were among the first of the sororities to hold their formal welcoming of those whom they bid. Their pledges were hon-ored last Friday night with a din-ner at Shirley Hop's home. Home-coming preparations will dominate the activities of the Sibyllines, both actives and pledges, as the annual event draws near.

Sorosis The newly redecorated Kletz

was the scene of the first informal meeting of the Sorosites and their pledges last Monday. Af t e r a pledge dinner at the Red Brick Tavern in Plainwell tonight, ac-tives and pledges will begin prep-arat ion fo r the events of Home-coming.

Theta

With the Mooring as their des-tination, the Thetas and new pledges boarded bicycles and set out f rom the f ront of Durfee Hall last Saturday fo r their first of-ficial get together. With Home-coming in the offing, actives and pledges will spend much t ime in preparation of the day's events.

Facing The Facts

W h y ? This question, the ex-pression of a restless mind, haunts the seasoned senior as well as the green frosh. At the s ta r t of a new year the student asks, "What ' s the score? What are we here fo r?"

The most concrete answer seems to be — an education. And yet education itself is a process, a search ra ther than an at tainment . Then what is our purpose as par t of Hope College? The Aims of the College s ta te it as — the prep-arat ion of "the whole of man for the whole of l ife," body, mind and soul. But that , too, is an abstrac-tion. To bring i t down in terms of everyday campus life it means participation in the athletic, acade-mic and religious programs. It means football, lectures and morn-ing chapel.

The question " W h y ? " presup-poses an answer giving a purpose. If preparat ion is our purpose we must examine it at least in a gen-eral sense in order to be certain tha t such a process is taking place. The late H. G. Wells tells a story about a young prince of North India who married a beautiful princess. Af t e r a year she died

and he resolved to erect a worthy monument. The body was placed in a stone coffin. Over it a build-ing wr.s begun. Each year more was added keeping in the s t ructure a center aisle. ' One day the prince called in an architect to plan for prince tha t one thing marred the fu tu re development. He told the harmony a 'ong the aisle—the stone coffin. Could he have it removed? ' Yes", the prince replied, take it away." He overlooked the original purpose of the building. In the process of education we are in-clined to overlook the necessity of its religious or spiritual aspects.

Chapel services are par t of this proccss called education. And yet we pay less attention to them than either classes or football, to re fer back to examples previously men-tioned. The student body seems to take on the "I-dare-you-to-make-me-list-en" at t i tude a t 8:00 A.M. While admit t ing tha t chapel serv-ices are pa r t of the preparation "of the whole of man" we are in reality rejecting % of the triangle, the strengthening of our fa i th which should overshadow and direct all other aspects of the process.

This, too, constitutes a type of religious apathy. As students of a church-related college we have a unique opportunity of spiritual growth but we are also faced with a unique problem — how to use our opportunities a n d n o t become bogged down in routine. The ques-tion "Why?" suggests a homonym as par t of the answer, namely "Y". The "Y" addresses itself to this campus problem, seeking to include in its program the development of body, mind and soul. Catching the spiri t of the "Y" program and taking advantage of our opportuni-ties fo r Christian service and in-spiration we may discover and possess t h a t " ex t r a " which brings "total power" into our personal educational experience.

Carroll Final Tune-Up For Conference Play

Saturday evening one will find the Fight ing Pioneers of Carroll College opposing the Hope College gridders in a real must game for the Dutchmen. Af te r losing their first two games they are hungry for a victory to get them rolling. These men f rom Waukesha, Wis-consin will be a t tempting a new system whereby they use one pla-toon in the first and third quar ters and a completely different platoon in the second and four th periods.

Coach Mickey McCormick, enter-ing his seventh year as head foot-ball coach, has lost nine lettermen including five regulars f rom the team that had a 6-2 record last year. However, his outlook is not a dim one as he has seventeen lettermen returning, including six tha t are entering their four th year of competition. Certainly Coach

McCormick should have no worries about his backfield where he has all four s ta r te rs returning. With power runners Joe Sydow and Mike Chitj ian at the halfback slots and bull-like Sid Dodge taking care of the fullback chores Carroll should have a powerful running game once again this year. The quarter-back position is well manned by Jack Fendt and ace passer Ken Groble both of whom filled the position very capably last year.

Coach McCormick's major prob-lem was supposed to be in develop-ing a s trong line to go along with his fine backfield. He must have found some pre t ty fa i r replace-

ments because the Fight ing Pio-neers defeated a supposedly strong Milliken team by a 20-7 score.

Carroll will be a t tempt ing to even up their overall series with Hope. The Dutch presently lead having won three out the the five games played to date. Lookout for a bruising battle when the Carroll "T" format ion pits i t 's s trong run-ning offense against the stubborn Hope defense.

Dutch Strong In Second Bow

Prancing, weaving, spinning, and driving was the formula used by the small profiicient Heidelberg backfield to overcome the stubborn defenses erected by the Dutchmen. However, a f t e r a s tunning defeat at the hands of Michigan Normal a week before, both defensively and offensively Hope was much im-proved.

The men from Tiffin opened the first quar te r with a sustained drive that produced the first Heidelberg touchdown. During these opening minutes it appeared as if Hope could not stop the "greased light-ning" at tack machined by backs Roy King and Little All-American Walter Livingston. Then pulling together info a t ightly knit de-fensive unit, Hope was able to halt any appreciable Heidelberg gain for the remainder of the first half.

In the second half , Heidelberg was first to move when, in the middle of the third quarter , Walter Livingston scampered f rom deep in his own terr i tory to Hope's ten yard line and went over for the second score. Hope, not to be out-done, ended the quar te r as John Adams, grabbing a pitchout, ran eighty-seven yards to what might have been a touchdown had he not slipped when cutt ing back.

On the next four plays which opened the last quarter , the Dutch-men were unable ^ to move beyond Heidelberg's on6 yard line. Having to surrender the ball proved fa ta l as Livingston, running f r o m his own goal line, broke through and drove to Hope's th i r ty yard line. Continuing on short drives, Heidel-berg chalked up another score as Roy King dove over. Finally, as the game was drawing to a close, Hope marched to their first score

of the year . Near the Heidelberg goal line, a sharp, bullet pass f rom John Holmlund to f reshman Jack Faber "broke the ice". With two minutes to go and a Hope lineup studded with substitutes, Heidel-berg produced the final totTfchdown.

Through The Keyhole

intramural Program Gets Under Way

The 1955-56 Intramural Program will soon be under way. With the next few days devoted to organi-zational meetings under the leader-ship of Faculty Director Dr. Larry Green and Student Director Tom Harris, it won't be long before the s ta r t of another year of tough competition fo r the coveted All-Sports Trophy. Last year 's champs, the Fra te rs , will be out to keep the trophy, and the rest of the f r a t s will all strive equally hard to get it f o r themselves.

Touch football began Monday, September 26. Each f r a t fields a team, in addition to the Independ-ent and Seminary squads, thus forming a seven team league. Dur-ing the seven week season, each team will play six games and draw one bye. All games will be played on Carnegie Field, and will s tar t promptly a t 4:00 P.M. Two games will take place on Mondays: one on the Eas t field, near the ruins of T-Dorm; and the other on the West field, nearer Van Raalte. The single game on Wednesdays will be played on the West field. Last year 's overall champions, were the Seminarians, while the Arcadians took f ra t e rn i ty honors.

In tennis as well, all seven teams will be represented. Each team will consist of two singles men and a doubles team. Las t year, Ken Van Wieren and Bob De Young of the F ra t e r s were the singles finalists.. The Cosmo team of Ken-ny Kiemel and J a n Wagner scored a surprise upset over J im Van

Hope College play last Saturday night showed tha t the Dutchmen are an entirely different team than the one that was soundly trounced by the Hurons of Normal last week. Students and coaches alike can well be proud of the boys' showing against the highly touted Princes, who played almost flawless ball. Although play on the par t of the Dutch was vastly improved, the team from Tiffin was almost per-fection. As one of our players put it, "They jus t didn't make any mistakes — and we did."

Although our team morale was much higher this week, maybe our boys could take a lesson f rom the Heidelberg team in the way tha t they snap out of their huddle with a "lets go" and run, not trot , to the line of scrimmage. This decor-um will give any team an air of sharpness and confidence, and serve to keep spirit at a high pitch.

It would seem that our one glar-ing f au l t lies in the fac t that , as a whole, we don't seem to tackle hard enough or sure enough. Most of the time it took a t least two men to stop the hard running Heidelberg backs, and many times they carried our men for additional yardage. Mick Faber and Ron De Graw, Saturday night 's defensive s ta lwar ts , were among the few to show tha t if a runner is hit low enough and hard enough he won"t go any fu r the r .

One of the brightest spots of Saturday 's game was the astute quar terbacking of Har ry Voss, whose magician like fak ing and s t rong defensive play evidence tha t coach DeVette 's quarterback prob-lem may finally be solved.

Showing a very deceptive change of pace, explosive, hard running, swivel hipped halfback John Adams served notice tha t he will again be Hope's mainstay in the backfield and prime candidate fo r N.A.I.A. honors. John carried 11 times fo r a total of 89 yards, or about 8 yards per carry.

Another cause for rejoicing is the vast improvement made in pass defense over last week's encounter. The aler t play on the pa r t of the backs, and the hard charging of

the line held the Student Prince's to a pal t ry total of 2 completions in 8 a t tempts .

The Dutch suffered a severe blow Saturday night with the in ju ry of Senior halfback Tom Carey, who will possibly be out the rest of the season because of a torn knee carti lage. Speaking of in-juries, Blaine Timmer did a good job of filling in for the injured Dick Gantos, who also has a bad knee.

Carroll Coach "Mickey" Mc-Cor-mick tells his boys, " I t isn't the size of the man in the fight tha t counts; but the size of the fight in the man." We'd like to see our Dutchmen give the boys f rom Car-roll a graphic demonstration of their coach's words come Saturday next.
