HOPE COLLEGE ANCHOR LXVIII—8 Hope College Holland, Michigan NOVEMBER 18, 1955 Revolution! .•IT* From a letter addressed to you from Roberto N — L a t i n America, who has returned home from the States and is violently Anti-American: "1 went to the United States with ^reat hopes. I expected to find there students who would understand the tragedy and agony of my people and would be anxious to encourage and help us as we tried to solve our problems. But I have returned sadly disillusioned. I am convinced that most people in the United States have no idea whatso- ever of the social revolution in which we are caught today; worse still, that they have little interest in learning about it. I found your churches much concerned about beautiful worship, new buildings, even spiritual revivals, but hardly anyone seemed to realize that Christian faith has any relation to racial, social, and economic problems. I heard Americans talk all the time about the freedoms they want us to have; no one seemed much concerned about the injustices we can no longer bear. What most disturbed me was to face the hysteria of anti- Communism. Should this continue, your nation will still less be able to understand the problems we face." "I was not a Communist when 1 went to the States, nor am I one today. While studying there I never met a single party member, or even a 'fellow-traveler', as you say. Hut I have returned convinced that the Communist is the only one who understands our problems, and that if you Americans continue on the road you are following, many of my people will turn to Communism in despair!" This letter shocks you, no doubt. Roberto's conclusions about America may be unfair, and his hope in Communism completely un- warranted. But do not think that he represents an isolated case. Re- ports indicate that large number of the leaders of the Communist movement in Africa are graduates of English and American universi- ties. And there are hundreds of others in Asia and South America who have returned from their study in the States, sadly convinced that they must look elsewhere for help. The people in other nations are caught in a revolution. As the (Continued on page 3) Eighteen Are Selected For 1956 Who's Who Recently released is the list of eighteen seniors named to Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities. The names of eligible seniors are sent by a college com- mittee to the association, which makes the final choice. Require- ments for entrance into the organi- zation fall into the categories of scholarship and participation in college activities. John Adams, of Saginaw, Mich- igan, is president of the Student Council, president of the Michigan Association of College Student Governments, co-captain of the football team, and a member of Blue Key and the Fraternal So- ciety. Mary Jane Adams, Lansing, Michigan, is a member of the Stu- dent Council and serves as secre- tary for the MACSG. She is vice- president of Women's House Board and Phi Alpha Theta, the history honorary fraternity. She is a mem- ber of Alcor and the Y.W.C.A. cabinet, and is president of the Sibvlline sorority. mm From Homespun To Art Tonight at the Civic Auditorium we all have an opportunity to hear the Indianapolis Symphony. Not only is this orchestra nationally known, but it has a tradition which makes every American proud. As the name of the state implies, Indiana was the land of the In- dians, but the white pioneers soon came and the Indian vanished. These pioneers were stouthearted, rugged and had a deep feeling for religion. Although some general education was provided, little of the fine arts was taught. The ap- preciation of music, painting, sculp- ture and architecture came slowly. Music meant nothing more than hymn singing or fiddling at a coun- try ance. However, by the end of the Civil War, teachers of music did arrive and soon it was the vogue for the daughter of a well- to-do family to be able to sing and play the piano. Overnight, as it seems, Indiana- polis, the state capital, became highly industrialized; the indus- trialization bringing with it all the distinctive characteristics that help establish an enlightened metropolis, including a symphony orchestra. Small musical groups developed among the German-Americans, and forty years ago a symphony or- chestra was founded but it lasted only as long as its founders lived. Later a second orchestra developed and this one has continued up to the present day. This orchestra, born out of home- spun American background now goes forward with the enlighten- ment of the nation. Conducted by the noted Izler Solomon, the Indianapolis Sym- phony appears here as the second program in the Holland Civic Music Association's current concert series. The popular symphony, which has been acclaimed in most of the great cities of the United States and is famous for its recordings, is made up of 85 outstanding musi- cians. Dec. 2 Set For NSA The student council has instituted N.S.A. Day to acquaint the student with the possibilities that lie ahead for the development of our campus government program. Our N.S.A. Day is December 2. The ideals of N.S.A. will be pointed out in a chapel service conducted by Chris Denny. Any information you desire about the organization will be available at a booth in Van Raalte Hall and all questions will be gladly answered. Friday eve- ning, your Fraternity and Sorority representative from Student Coun- cil have been invited to give the serious paper at your meetings to further your understanding. Please participate in the pro- gram. An attempt is being made to secure qualified leadership. Everyone should be acquainted with the many phases of growth that are taking place. Just so much can be done by Council and the rest is in student body hands. Are we able to accept a challange for growth ? UAW Sends Letter Of Protest on Study CIO United Auto Worker officials have protested the methods by which Hope College is carrying out a state-ordered study of unem- ployment compensation benefits. Clayton E. Johnson, director of the union's Compensation and Safe- ty Department, said he has advised Economics Department chairman Dr. Dwight B. Yntema that UAW locals have been asked not to par- ticipate in the study. The notification from Mr. John- son stated that the questionaire seems to be designed without in- terest in getting at the adequacy or inadequacy of unemployment compensation benefits, but rather to satisfy an interest in other ques- tions, namely, the resources of the unemployed, his motivations to work or make readjustments, and the contributions of other members of the household — the researchers do not seem to be primarily in- terested in the adequacy of pay- ments and their purchasing power. Dr. Yntema, director of the study, stated, "We are not offering any opinions, but are merely at- tempting to assert the facts. We believe that which the union con- siders irrelevant is actually an im- portant phase of the question." Besides, he continued, "We're not going to get into any controversy." Johnson said he was forwarding copies of his letter addressed to Yntema to Gov. G. Mennen Wil- liams, hi. Gov. Philip Hart and members of the legislature. Bob Bedingfield, of New York City, is a member of Blue Key, and Y.M.C.A., student council, in- ter-frat council, was the junior class president, and served as chairman of the frosh-soph Pull. He is a member of the Knicker- bocker fraternity. Warren Buitendorp, a native of North Tarrytown, New York, is editor of the Anchor, has served on the Student Council, and is a member of Knickerbocker. Edwin Coon, of Poughkeepsie, New York, is a member of the Blue Key Society, the Arcadian Fra- ternity, has served on the Mile- stone staff, and is the president of the French Club. Christine Denny, a resident of Holland, is editor of the Opus, a member of Alcor and of the Dorian Sorority. She was an editor for both the Milestone and Opus during her junior year, as well as being a member of Palette and Masque. Jack De Pree, a native of Zee- land, Michigan, is president of Blue Key, Spanish Club, and the. Fra- ternal Society. He is a member of the Inter-Frat Council, and was activities editor of the Milestone during his junior year. Meryl Gowens, of South Holland, Illinois, is a member of Alcor, Student Council, House Board, and the Y.W.C.A., as well as being a member of the Dorian Sorority, the chapel choir, and the vice-president of A.D.D.

Shirley Schaafsma, chairman for the freshman class, accepted the cup from Barbara Brookstra, gen- eral chairman for the whole event. The victorious class commemorated the event by quaffing root beer from the cup, according to tradi- tion. Rider Conducts Season Opener On Tuesday The College Orchestra, which this year numbers fifty-five play- ers, will present its first concert of the 1955-56 season on Tuesday, November 22'at 8:30 p.m. in the Hope Memorial Chapel. Featured soloists highlighting the program will be three senior students; David Martin, Nelvie Jonker, and Nick Pool. Mr. Martin, violinist, will be heard in the first movement of the Beethoven Concerto for violin and orchestra. Miss Jonker will sing "My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice" from Saint Saens "Sampson and Delilah" and Mr. Pool will play the very popular "Rhapsody in Blue" for piano and orchestra by George Gershwin. Other portions of the program will include the overture to the Bizet opera "The Pearl Fishers" and two colorful Russian dances by Gesensway. The Orchestra, under the direc- tion of Morrette Rider, will present an extensive series of concerts dur- ing the year. In addition to its several evening concerts in Hope Chapel, the group will provide ac- companiment for the "Messiah" presentation and give a series of children's concerts in Holland and other Michigan communities. The Symphonette which is a subdivision of the regular orchestra, will also appear on several occasions in Hol- land and will make a two week tour of Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and other mid-western states in April. The public is invited to attend, without charge, all of the Orchestra and Symphonette programs sched- uled in the chapel. Ivy, Schmivy You Can Have Your Wonkies and Snobs Harvard, Yale, Pennsylvania, Princeton, Columbia, Brown, Dart- mouth and Cornell are the eight colleges which constitute that steeped-in-tradition institution cal- led the Ivy League. Recently, a current periodical published an article entitled Ivy Superiority" which asserted their elevation scholastically, athletically and socially. This same periodical gave the article the distinction of being named "the most infuriating article of 1955." They put it mildly. The three Ivy men who are re- sponsible for the bit of back-pat- ting have succeeded in arousing the ire of a good many denizens of "Outer Mediocrity." "While the aborigines of Detroit were trading bearskins with the settlers, sheepskins embossed with classical Latin were being handed out at Yale, Columbia, Pennsyl- vania, and Dartmouth. Due to the chronological order of land dis- coveries in the new world, the East would be more likely to found uni- versities earlier than the West. However, the West is still open to founding new institutions; it is still in a state of progression, while at "Ivy" colleges, the unchanged ritual of handing out sheepskins embossed with classical Latin goes on year after year. A certain scholar said that in (Continued on page 2)

This l e t t e r shocks you, no doubt . Roberto 's conclusions about

Amer ica may be un fa i r , and his hope in Communism complete ly un-

war r an t ed . But do not th ink tha t he r ep re sen t s an isolated case. Re-

From Homespun To Art Tonight a t the Civic Audi to r ium

we all have an oppor tun i ty to hea r the Indianapol is Symphony . Not

only is th is o rches t r a nat ional ly known, but it has a t rad i t ion which

makes every Amer ican proud.

As the name of the s t a t e implies, Indiana was the land of the In-

dians, but the whi te pioneers soon

came and the Indian vanished.

These pioneers were s tou thea r t ed , rugged and had a deep fee l ing fo r

religion. Al though some genera l

educat ion was provided, l i t t le of

the fine a r t s was t a u g h t . The ap-preciat ion of music, pa in t ing , sculp-

ture and a rch i t ec tu re came slowly.

Music meant no th ing more than hymn s inging or fiddling a t a coun-

t ry ance. However , by the end of

the Civil W a r , t eacher s of music

did a r r ive and soon it was the

vogue f o r the d a u g h t e r of a well-to-do f ami ly to be able to s ing and play the piano.

Overnight , a s it seems, Indiana-

polis, the s t a t e capi ta l , became highly indus t r ia l ized; the indus-

t r ia l izat ion b r ing ing with it all the

dis t inct ive cha rac te r i s t i c s t h a t help establ ish an enl ightened metropol is ,

including a symphony o rches t ra .

Small musical g roups developed among the German-Amer icans , and f o r t y y e a r s ago a symphony or-

ches t ra was founded but it lasted only as long as i ts f o u n d e r s lived.

L a t e r a second o rches t r a developed and th i s one h a s continued up to the p re sen t day .

This o rches t ra , born out of home-

spun Amer i can background now goes f o r w a r d wi th the en l ighten-

ment of the na t ion .

Conducted by the noted Izler Solomon, the Indianapol is Sym-

phony a p p e a r s here as the second

p r o g r a m in the Holland Civic Music

Associat ion 's cu r ren t concert series.

The popular symphony , which

has been acclaimed in most of the

g rea t cit ies of the United S t a t e s

and is f a m o u s for its recordings , is

made up of 85 ou t s t and ing musi-cians.

EDITOR'S DESK Thanksgiving At Grandmother's . . . a r a t h e r s tereotyped scene

isn't it . The walk to and f rom church, a c lamor ing house of yea-dozen grandchi ldren , the s teamed windows and tu rkey-humid a i r . . . but these

are the th ings memories are made of.

Wisdom impar ted while the g r avy is s t i r red , to feel the secur i ty

of experience . . . and the real izat ion t h a t aes thet ic values are not a lways on the level of intel lectual ism.

Thanksg iv ing offers a day f o r contemplat ion of God and self , f o r reevaluat ion . . . it is a point of perspect ive f r o m which we can clear away the densi ty of daily existence and shed l ight on values.

It is a t ime to go over the r iver and out of the woods. * * * *

Thanks . . . we apprec ia te the confidence t h a t has been expressed in us and this year ' s Anchor by the Adminis t ra t ion through the alloca-tion of the f u n d s needed to ca r ry out our ideas. Our request , sub-mitted last spr ing, was f o r $4,850 — we have been g ran ted $4,800.

By runn ing a f ew more ads — approx imate ly fou r inches per issue — we can make th i s up. Along th i s line we would sugges t your a t tent ion to, and pa t ronage of, our adver t i sers .

Also, as our plans continue to unfold we ant ic ipa te your com-ments, f o r it is your pape r — where else do you think the $4,800 is coming f r o m ?

* * * *

To The Real Champions . . . the eleven men fielded by our coach-ing staff in the last t h r ee games cons t i tu te a p a r t of what may have

been the best t eam ever suited in the MIAA. Yet the in jur ies t h a t have been incurred are incredible. They have been the source of much d ishear tenment and a losing record.

To look a t the season in context obviates the f ac t t h a t low pressure , c r no pressure , a thlet ics is best f o r an educational sys tem tha t has object ives such as ours . To the six who g radua t e — a job well done. To those who re tu rn — yours is the obligation to continue proving t h a t winning s t reaks , bowl bids, and win-at-al l -cost footbal l are not the cr i ter ia f o r the success of an a thle t ic p rog ram.

Religion can be found on this campus as easi ly as it can be found on the campus of a church-rela ted school. Religion is the expression of an a t t i tude toward w h a t the in-dividual r ega rds as impor t an t in life. Here on this campus a s tudent will find many di f ferent express ions of religion. There a re no denomina-tion res t r ic t ions here and a s tudent can believe by the evidence before him r a t h e r than by the creedal d ic ta torship of some ecclesiastical body. Religion is as indigenous to the intellectual l i fe of the campus as is democracy or the belief in scientific procedure. Religious f ac t s , issues and implicat ions are dea l t with in every class where they arise na tu ra l ly . Of course, the re are some s tudents and professors who avoid discussion of religion like pr i ssy old maids avoid mention

of sex; but mos t of the s tudents and the f acu l ty feel f r e e to discuss religion. The const i tu t ional separa-tion between Church and S ta te has been misunderstood as a separa t ion between religion and education. This is one of the social tragedies of our time. Education and re-ligion are inseparable; both can be found on this campus if a person will remember the words of St. Paul: "When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man I put away childish things."—Southern Illinois University Egyptian.

IVY . . . (Continued f r o m page 1)

t ak ing revenge a man is even wi th

his enemy, bu t in pass ing it over

he is superior . The dozens of pro-

fessors and u n d e r g r a d u a t e s west

of the Monongahela have not the

intention of point ing any revenge-

ful pro jec t toward the Ivy League ,

but merely f o r the i r own we l f a r e

ask the "Pi l tdown pedaeoeues" and

"intel lectual snobs" to open the i r

eyes to the West . We've grown

up out here since you last looked.

Yes, we've grown up, but we haven ' t lost our you th fu l enthus i -asm. Our footbal l s t ad iums a re places where we g a t h e r to en-courage our f ight ing t eams , not t r y s t i n g spots where we apa the -tically u t t e r an obl iga tory " f igh t fur ious ly fel lows." A Ithough oc-casionally there is a person who

feels it, there is never anyone who would dare r isk his good name to

say, "bu t , fellows, do we real ly care if we win?"

Ivy men readily admi t t ha t they are coerced to conform to the norm or to be a "wonky" a t H a r v a r d , a "weenie" a t Yale, or an "ayool" a t Pr inceton. The progress ive sys-tems "wes t of H a r v a r d s q u a r e " a re proud of thei r individualism. They encourage expression of the per-

sonal i ty . There is no s te reo type of a college g r adua t e a t S t a t e U.

Yale men insist t h a t the i r t rad i -tional r iots t ake the place of wo-

men on campus. A t S t a t e U. F reud is duped because the re a re women on campus and there is no need f o r sublimation. We don' t care to live ar t i f ical ly. We believe in being modern. Try it somet ime, Ivy Leaguers .

REVOLUTION . . . (Continued f r o m page 1)

founda t ions shake undernea th them, they look to Amer icans f o r guid-

ance. But the more we of the United S ta tes dr ive them to conclude tha t we do not unders tand thei r s t rugg le and a re unable or unwil l ing to help them, the more Communism may appeal to them. Exper ience, as well a s constant contact with univers i ty s tudents on this continent , has convinced the leaders of the S tuden t Volunteer Movement Con-ference t h a t the f u t u r e of Asia, Af r ica , and South Amer ica — c o n -sequently, the United S ta t e s as well — will depend upon our abil i ty to g r a s p the meaning of th is revolution or to see the significance of Communism in relat ion to it.

Revolution and redemption a re the most significant real t ies tha t twent ie th-cen tury man faces. The ending of ancient injust ices , the movement toward national self - respect and se l f -government or political independence, the coming into the i r own of the darker-skinned peoples of the world, the s t rugg le f o r economic development and social equal i ty — this is the scope of the revolution which each person a t the S.V.M. Quadrennial will be concerned.

The S tudent Volunteer Movement Quadrennial is a once-in-a-stu-dent ' s - l i fe t ime chance. It occurs once every f o u r years , once in a s tudent genera t ion . This year it is meet ing at the Univers i ty of Ohio, Athens, Ohio dur ing the week of December 27 th rough J a n u a r y 1. 3,000 s tudents , 1500 American s tudents and 1500 fore ign s tudents now s tudy-ing in the United Sta tes , will make this p i lg r immage to Athen, Ohio,

f o r what is one of the most significant ecumenical encounters of s tu-dents t h a t has ever taken place in Chris t ian h is tory . Not only s tudents but leaders f rom countr ies and nat ions all over the world will par t ic i -pate in th i s conference on the ecumenical movement of the church. Every religion and many countr ies a re to be represn ted .

Eve ry s tudent of Hope College has the oppor tun i ty to take pa r t in this encounter with revolution. The total cost of the conference is $37.50. All over campus you will find in fo rmat ion blanks. If you a re in teres ted in a t t end ing this conference, fill in one of these blanks. They

provide in fo rmat ion as to need f o r financial ass is tance, t r anspor t a t i on , etc., all needs which have been provided f o r and a re available to you! These b lanks may be turned in to B a r b a r a Je f f r ey , Lyle Vander Wer f ,

Dr. Fr ied , Mr. Ver Beek, Dr. Brand, Miss Van Ha i t sma , or Mrs. Mar ian S t ryker .

I can read your thoughts a l ready. Some are thinking, "Give up the last p a r t of a vacation even though I have a l ready had ten days of v a c a t i o n ? " "I don' t know where the money would come f r o m . " " I t

sounds so f a r above me." And so on. Well, think again . Financial and t r anspor t a t ion needs have been met . You will have vacation be-fore , du r ing and a f t e r the conference.

I wouldn ' t miss th is oppor tuni ty if I were you. It is really t ha t one- in-your- l i fe t ime!

THE HOME OF HOLLAND'S

BEST HAMBURGER

Through The Keyhole

A vicious running a t t ack , t imely passes, good field genera l sh ip , and

an alert defense were combined to trounce A l m a last S a t u r d a y night . Al though the Dutch finished the season wi th an unimpress ive 3-3 conference record to sha re third place, t he significant f a c t is t h a t Hope won thei r l a s t th ree in very convincing fashion , ending the sea-son on an opt imist ic note.

The Hope running a t t ack was paced by Dave Kuyers , who alone picked up 206 yards , and Johnny Adams, who pu t the finishing touches to a br i l l iant f o u r year career . H a r r y Voss a t his qua r t e r -back slot called a fine g a m e , mix-ing his p lays well and uti l izing Kuyers up the middle and Adams and Dave Woodcock on the outside.

The a l e r t defense was led by Paul Wieger ink and Lynn Post. Guards, tackles, and l inebackers also h i t t i ng hard and consis tent ly . Wieger ink and J i m Hi lmer t , who recovered two Alma fumbles , were indirectly responsible f o r two of our touchdowns since we u l t imat ly scored on both occasions.

The en t i re Hope coaching staff should be complimented on molding a fine t e a m . It took a lot of hard work and much exper imen t ing to fill the g a p lef t by in ju red men, but when the t eam was finally

intact , as was evidenced in the las t 3 games , the Dutch fielded a squad

super ior to any in the league.

"The six depar t ing seniors were inserted in the final period and quickly rammed across the final T.D."

These six seniors have served Hope well in the years t h a t they have been donning the Orange and

Blue.

Dick Schulz, one of the most versat i le men on the t e am, came through th is y e a r ' with his best season. Dick consis tent ly showed a " g u t s " sp i r i t and an ap t i tude f o r hard work.

Lynn Post , co-captain and le f t end, was pe rhaps our most con-sistent p layer . A lways dependable Lynn, showed fine leadersh ip quali-ties besides being an excellent end.

Ron De Graw, one of the rough-est defensive p layers in the league, tackled ha rd and sure all season long. When Ron hit them they usually s topped.

John Hol lander , the man moun-tain of the Hope squad, wound up his career with a n o t h e r fine season. John shed blockers like w a t e r to g e t at t hose opposing ball ca r r ie rs .

"Doc" Van Hoeven, the kicking specialist as well as one of the best, if not the bes t , tackle in the league, culminated h i s college career wi th ano the r fine season of rough p lay and fierce compet i t ive spir i t .

John Adams , f o r th ree yea r s the mains tay of the Hope backfield will be sorely missed in the years to come. Adams, p e r h a p s one of the finest backs ever to to te the pigskin f o r the Dutch should again be a p r ime candida te f o . Li t t le Al l -American honors .

Lineman of the week . . .

Lineman of the week goes to end Paul Wiegerink. In addition to playing his usual fine game of offense, Paul harrassed Ayling, the Alma quarterback, all evening, re-peatedly throwing him for huge losses.

Back of the week . . .

This week's nomination f o r back of the week aga in goes to Dave Kuyers , whose hard-dr iv ing and explosive power kep t the Alma Scots rocking back on the i r heels all evening.

* * *

The team feel ing was man i fe s t by the f a c t t ha t in spite of a mediocre record which would point to a poor season in many eyes the coaches were well satisfied by the end of the season comeback — as were the players , who demonst ra ted this f a c t by ca r ry ing thei r coaches t r iumphan t ly f r o m the field.

Court Season Opens

Over the Holiday Coach John Visser has his boys

pounding the hardwoods again in

p repa ra t ion for the Thanksg iv ing

T o u r n a m e n t to be held at E a r l h a m ,

Indiana, and f o r the ensu ing

M.I.A.A. race. The outlook f o r the

season should be f a i r l y optomist ic

with the r e tu rn of six le t te rmen

to fo rm the nucleus of the squad.

Las t year ' s two s t a r t i n g fo r -

wards a re back in Whi tey Riemer-

sma and John Adams . The Bear

has re ta ined his excellent shoot ing

accuracy as well as his unorthodox

style. John seemed to be as f a s t

and as t r icky as ever on the gr id-

iron so once he ge t s his basketbal l

legs the speeds ter ought to be on

the go aga in .

Harold Molenaar is back to fill

the runn ing guard spot and direct

offense. Mo's f a m o u s j u m p shot

f r o m the circle is still effective and

nigh unstoppable .

A cheer a lways went up when

the " squ i r re l s " en te red the g a m e s last yea r and it is cer ta inly good to have John J e l t e s and Mert Van-der Lind back. Both of them a re known f o r their hus t le and speed on both offense and defense.

If J im Hi lmer t cont inues the fine

play evidenced a t t he end of last season, there should be no quest ion as to who will be c lear ing the boards a t the back-guard posit ion.

Certainly a welcome addit ion to

the squad is " l i t t l e" Paul Benes who scales six fee t eleven inches tall in his s tocking fee t . He shouldn ' t have any t rouble fitting into the Dutch offense as he has speed and endurance to go a long with his height .

These a r e only seven of the men you will be seeing th roughou t the basketball season. However , add to these Schruer , Tuesink, Sisson, Ri tsema, Thomson, Edewaards , B reu r sma and Mar t in — then one can ge t the idea t h a t Hope will aga in be represented by a fine basketbal l squad.
