American education seems to be premised on the belief t h a t to scale any intellectual height all a person needs is a sufficient amount of information — the more poured in, t h e g r e a t e r the accomplishments. Our i n f a t u a t i o n with empiricism h a s led us to deny the existence and need f o r the t r u l y transcendent experience which momentarily enables us to be both audience and actor, to have a view of the whole as well as the p a r t . I would wager with anyone t h a t one hundred writers of my mean ability, possessing any a m o u n t of information, could not create t h r o u g h any degree of intellectual gyration a play comparable to one of Shakespeare's, or a poem equal to one of Eliot's. We would lack not the mechanical ability to compose, but the inspiration. A covey of a v e r a g e thoughts does not constitute a single g r e a t one. Turning a g a i n to the physical sciences, no one would deny the need f o r technicians. But how l a r g e would be the need if t h e r e had never existed a n Einstein, a F e r m i , a n Oppenheimer, or a T e l l e r ? Are we p e r h a p s discouraging such men f r o m being pioneers of knowledge? Does our educational system teach men to think in a b s t r a c t symbols?

Tonight on Hope's campus the world famous Vienna Boy's Choir will perform. A week from Monday an outstanding Toledo Art Museum is holding a Holland-American day. It is our sincere hope that those who bewail the lack of culture on Hope's campus will avail themselves of these opportunities.
My excuse f o r the subject of this p a r t i c u l a r column is, perhaps, a bit flimsy. Last week's Student Council was, if anything, notable f o r its u t t e r lack of stimulating material f o r a column of this type. In fact, beyond the reports of a few committees, nothing of consequence t r a n s p i r e d . Brief mention was, however, made of the fact t h a t we shall soon, once again, be in the throes of the All College Sing. Having a f e w views on the subject, I pounce greedily upon the chance to air them. As is the case with many other of the cherished and laudable Hope College traditions, t h e r e is a g r e a t deal to be said to t h e credit of the Sing. It promotes a spirit of friendly competition between the p a r t i c i p a t i n g societies, serves to k n i t the competing g r o u p s t o g e t h e r internally, provides an evening's p e r h a p s r a t h e r indifferent entertainment, f r e e of charge, f o r the college community, and helps feed the children of those men who make their living e n g r a v i n g cups. On the debit side we find t h e difficulty involved in the almost hopeless task of teaching a random g r o u p of people, t h e m a j o r i t y of whom have no musical knowledge or aptitude and less n a t u r a l ability, to sing, in f o u r p a r t h a r m o n y no less, one song f o r one p e r f o r m a n c e all in a f e w d a y s time. Admittedly, I speak only f r o m t h e standpoint of a f r a t e r n i t y , although I shouldn't be too surprised if some of the sororities feel the s a m e way. Back in the days when t h e societies in-
volved placed t h e i r emphasis on the literary and intellectual r a t h e r than on the social aspects of college life; when a f r a t e r n i t y ' s musical repertoire was not limited to a louder-than-harmonious version of "The Darktown S t r u t t e r s ' Ball" and/or works of t h a t caliber, the Sing was probably eagerly awaited as an opportunity to show off the acumen of the group. It seems to me t h a t the Sing h a s become outmoded; a nice if annoying and time-consuming relic of the days t h a t used to be. It has its place in t h e college life of today, but with, if you will, a few modifications. F o r instance: why burden those g r o u p s who don't w a n t to or can't sing with the necessity of competition. The Sing could be put on such a basis t h a t any campus organization desiring to do so could e n t e r and those not could help swell the audience. Surely, if this system results in no singing a t all it would be b e t t e r to drop the whole enterprise. One way to preserve the tradition and, a t the same time, remove some of the concomitant pain would be to require only t h a t the g r o u p s involved be represented by, f o r the sake of a r g u m e n t , a minimum of fifteen or t w e n t y of their n u m b e r r a t h e r t h a n the entire membership. This would, undoubtedly, a t least improve the quality of t h e event. Personally, I would r a t h e r spend an evening a t a concert presented by the chapel choir, but these are j u s t my views.
Dear Mom and Dad, It was so nice talking to you last night. I don't suppose anything has come up since then to c h a n g e your mind about my coming home next w e e k ? It's not t h a t 1 don't want to take e x a m s at all — only not next week. If I could come home and have just that little bit more time for study, 1 know I'd be ready. Please reconsider it, won't y o u ? I think it's quite important to my health. I j u s t finished a term p a p e r on Cara, the Common Comma f o r my English course. My r o o m m a t e t h o u g h t the title was sort of crude, but 1 liked the alliteration. It w a s all about how a comma grows up— from an i n f a n t period to an adult exclamation p o i n t — don't you think t h a t ' s clever? I called the semi-colon its adolescent s t a g e . I do hope my teacher likes it. I f e l t so s o r r y for h e r a f t e r I read some of t h e other p a p e r s f o r the course. They were so dull and dry — so I decided it was up t o me to cheer her up a little. I'm a f r a i d t h a t will be my only " A " though. Joe took me to the Calvin basketball g a m e the other night, and it was just awful. I don't think I like the g a m e very well, a n y w a y . Why, one of our fellows just stopped to rest a minute, and a fellow who was c a r r y i n g the ball f o r Calvin ran right into him, and the umpire blew his whistle and said our fellow wasn't supposed to have stopped there, and then he called him foul. 1 think it's mean to call someone " f o u l " j u s t because he happens to g e t tired once in awhile — it's not even healthy. And then another time when one of our fellows saw t h a t one of their team was about to run right into a big s w a r m of players under the basket, he quick pushed him away so he wouldn't get h u r t , and they said he w a s " f o u l , " too. And they don't stop at j u s t calling them names — they give the other team f r e e chances at baskets, besides. It sure doesn't make sense to me! A f t e r the g a m e was over, whole crowds of people were s t a n d i n g around outside in little groups. It seemed like they were all t a l k i n g about a "Holy W a r . " Joe wanted to s t a y and listen, but 1 told him 1 t h o u g h t it was entirely too cold to stand around and discuss some old dead historical event. He j u s t m u t t e r e d something u n d e r h i s b r e a t h and brought me home. I think Joe m u s t be becoming an intellectual — I've never known him to be interested in t h i n g s like t h a t before. I'm t a k i n g seventeen h o u r s of courses next semester. My counselor said he didn't think I should, but I convinced him a f t e r f o u r conferences. He said t h a t w h a t I lack in " g r a y m a t t e r " I made up f o r in perseverance, so he'd let m e do it. I decided t h a t if he t h o u g h t I lacked " g r a y m a t t e r , " m a y b e I should t r y and get some, but t h e y looked a t me as if they t h o u g h t I was crazy when I asked f o r it a t the book store. I guess maybe they don't have a n y here a t t h e college. I'll t r y downtown tomorrow. Well, m y r o o m m a t e ' s flicking t h e light — so I guess it's t i m e f o r bed — u n l e s s maybe she's g e t t i n g a h o u s e m o t h e r ' s complex.

IN REVIEW It was an a l t o g e t h e r pleasant duty to attend the student recital on J a n u a r y sixth. T h r o u g h o u t the well balanced p r o g r a m , the individual p e r f o r m a n c e s were each, in their own way, well worth listening to. Mr. J e r r y Kruyf opened t h e program with an a r i a f r o m Mozart's "The M a r r i a g e of F i g a r o " and a lighter work, "The Green Eyed D r a g o n " by Wolseley Charles. Mr. Kruyf h a s a pleasing voice and uses it t a s t e f u l l y . He demonstrated adequate command of the musical problems of both his selections. Although his expression is a t times r a t h e r wooden, his voice remains flexible and his musical touch light. Miss Doris McMahan, violinist, who played the " A l l e g r o " from Lalo's "Symphonic Espangnole", is an exceptionally fine technician. Most, noteworthy, however, was her ability to avoid the interpretive pitfalls of Lalo's r a t h e r romantic, emotional music and keep t h e performance crisp. Had she not maintained a firm g r a s p of her material, the effect could easily have become turgid. Nick Pool maintained t h e musical level with a Schumann novellette and a Chopin prelude. Mr. Pool's pianistic technique is sound, althrough a trifle mechanical when involved in some of the technical intricacies. Mr. Pool h a s t h e g i f t of combining sound interpretation and an unfailing rythmic sense into an outstandingly musical performance. Miss Nelvie Yonker s a n g selec-

tions f r o m Gluck and Quilter with her usual poised musical m a s t e r y . She uses h e r w a r m , strong cont r a l t o voice to excellent a d v a n t a g e and displays well developed musical sensitivity in h e r interpretation. V o n W e b e r ' s "Concertino of Clarinet" was performed by Mr. Charles Lindal. Although the perf o r m a n c e was somewhat spotty, his technical g r a s p of the instrument seems sound, and he succeeds in the difficult task of maintaining a thoroughly pleasant tone. Mr. J . Richard DeWitt, utilizing a rich bass voice, interpreted a Verdi a r i a and Vaughan Williams' "The Vagabond". Mr. De W i t t ' s bass is unusually mellow for a young singer, and will probably develop the g r e a t e r strength and resonance which will balance into an exceptionally fine voice. Mr. De W i t t ' s musical ability is certainly adequate and his performances thoroughly competent. The evening's p r o g r a m was concluded by Mr. Lawrence De Witte, who played the R e g a r "Benedictus" and J . S. Bach's "Prelude in G Minor". Mr. De W i t t made good use o f the possibilities o f t h e chapel's fine organ in interpreting his selections. He played musically with good technical g r a s p of his material and a finely regulated keyboard technique. The evening's accompanists provided adequate support f o r the soloists. ' T h e only generalized flaw in the well polished surface of the p r o g r a m was the r a t h e r diffident apologetic e n t r a n c e s and exits of the p e r f o r m e r s . P erh ap s they could learn f r o m the professional musicians who visit our campus f r o m time to time. These students do not have to be ashamed of their musicianship — why do they mount the p l a t f o r m as a condemned man in the gallows? Although, at last report, it h a s not yet been placed on the library shelves, I wish to recommend to the student r e a d e r Preston Stegenga's history of our college, "Anchor of Hope." I have long contended t h a t one of the most u n f o r t u n a t e aspects of Hope's student body is its almost complete lack of a sense of tradition. I may be turning into a sentimental dotard in my senior year, but I feel that the essence of school spirit is not in its cheering, or in its athletic or even academic prowess, but r a t h e r in its history and traditions. It is in these t h a t a school like Hope should have more to offer t h a n the sprawling diploma-mills w h i c h s t a t e universities too often become. It is in its potentialities of fostering this present inadequate sense of tradition t h a t I find the g r e a t e s t significance to the student in Mr. S t e g e n g a ' s book. It is not a world shaking effort nor is it outstandingly significant to the average reader, but to a Hope student who pages through it at a leisure hour, it h a s much to offer.

Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: I wish to commend you f o r the o u t s t a n d i n g Anchor which you are publishing this year. It is indeed a n excellent example of college journalism. It is a paper of which every m e m b e r of the student body and faculty can justifiably be proud.

Chapel Tower Collapses In Mysterious Cataclysm ( U P ) — Holland, Michigan: Today at 8:29 A.M., the tower of the Memorial Chapel of Hope College collapsed. The cause of the disaster is as yet unknown. Dazed college officials reported no known injuries, but r e f u s e d to offer opinions as to the cause of w h a t they considered to be a d i s a s t e r second in importance o n l y t o Hurricane Hazel.
May you continue the outstanding service which you are p e r f o r m ing f o r all of Hope. Best wishes for the New Year. Helen L. Harton Acting Chairman, Speech D e p a r t m e n t Hope College
Dear Editor: There h a s been much criticism by the Student Body again this winter with regard to the treacherous condition of the walks f o r several days following even a light snow. Realizing this student sentiment and feeling much the same way ourselves, we a t t e m p t e d to present the student a t t i t u d e before the Administration m e m b e r s present at a meeting of the Building and Grounds Committee. In the discussion t h a t followed, several valid points were made which can profitably be considered — and acted upon — by both the Student Body and Administration. Mr. Visscher and Mr. L i g h t h e a r t began by explaining t h a t f o r the last two y e a r s one of the f r a t e r n i ties had shoveled walks as a money r a i s i n g mechanism. However, this y e a r no g r o u p has requested the project, and all of the financially stricken students who, in the fall, had jumped at the chance of working f o r the solid wage ( f o r Holland) of $1 per hour, never showed up when the snow fell. Therefore, the complete job has fallen to the janitorial staff. We a d m i t this is a problem — but it is no excuse.
P h o t o by Dick W e i s i g e r
close or the aim prove inaccurate. A f t e r the last snowfall approximately 20 man hours were used f o r the replacement of broken windows. This h u r t s the Student Body in two respects — the time could have been spent in removing ice and the replacement cost could have gone f o r chemical remover. We realize t h a t we have been guilty of the above ourselves — but we will make an effort to cooperate and ask you to do so also. An a t t e m p t to make a few minor adj u s t m e n t s in our actions will allow the student representatives in all phases of campus government to present m a t t e r s t h a t a r e of concern to us with more force and conviction. It will also make f o r more Administrative s y m p a t h y toward them. Neil P e t t y W a r r e n Buitendorp Roger Leonard
As a result of this manpower situation the policy h a s been to a t t e m p t to keep the walks within the campus clear — then if possible the walks paralleling the roads would be given attention.

Emotions of the onlookers were varied. Some stood too dazed to speak. Others wept openly. One girl, obviously hysterical,' was led away in fits of laughter. Bystanders ventured assorted opinions as to the reason f o r the collapse. One man said he felt sure it was a plot on the p a r t of religious fanatics wl)o envied the height of the tower; one member of the f a c u l t y was heard to say to passing students, "You are f o u r minutes late to class;" one old man shook his finger and cried it was Divine justice heaped on the college f o r its advocation of functional education. F r a n k L i g h t h e a r t and a group of volunteers entered the wreckage several hours ago in order to discover as f a r as possible t h e amount of d a m a g e and see w h e t h e r it could be repaired in time f o r Chapel services on Monday.
What's Past Is . . . (Continued f r o m page 2) ence adversely delicate negotiations. As a result, foreign governments have begun to question as to who does r e p r e s e n t the opinion of the United States, and have been forced to consider the possibility of repudiation or l a t e r reversal of policies by this country. The diplomacy of the United States cannot be a d e q u a t e and secure unless it rests on a firmer basis than that of petty personal objects or political bones of contention. In much the same way, freedom for our diplomatic personnel h a s become v i r t u a l l y non-existent. Obviously an intelligent, well-trained, resourceful corps of diplomats is among the p r i m e requisites for a successful f o r e i g n policy. Yet such qualities have been submerged under a nearly abject servitude f o r the sake of self-preservation f r o m brazen a t t a c k s and interference by members of Congress. The State D e p a r t m e n t is commonly portrayed as a den of Communist thieves, and independent t h o u g h t by individuals is considered nearly an act of disloyalty. The American foreign service is in g r e a t d a n g e r of becoming a mere rubber s t a m p ! Thus, one might also entertain hopes f o r a bi-partisan f o r e i g n policy carried out by e x p e r t s and above the level of Congressional sniping in the future. With such diplomacy, coexistence becomes more t h a n an idealized f a n t a s y — it becomes an engaging possibility.

Hope's YW and YM are sponsoring a series of deputation teams, which aid churches in their religious p r o g r a m s . The p r i m a r y function of these teams is to work with young people of the various churches in m a n y religious phases. The s t u d e n t s conduct song services, present musical p r o g r a m s , lead group discussions, and occasionally preach sermons. Some t e a m s a r e sent out to conduct devotional periods. So f a r this year, t e a m s have conducted s e r v i c e s in various churches in Michigan, Illinois, and Indiana. On J a n u a r y 30 a t e a m will conduct t h e Christian E n d e a v o r group and help in the evening service of t h e F i f t h Reformed Church in Grand Rapids and on F e b r u a r y 6 a g r o u p will go to Kalamazoo.

Two f r e e t h r o w s in t h e closing m i n u t e s g a v e Albion a 68-66 victory over t h e Dutch in a contest played a t Albion. W i t h the score knotted at a 66-66 deadlock with a little over a m i n u t e r e m a i n i n g , two Hope f o u l s resulted in t h e winning. Unable to get t h e i r f a s t b r e a k s going, the Dutch settled down to w e a v i n g t a c t i c s which b r o u g h t enough f r e e t h r o w s to keep Hope within five points of Albion d u r i n g t h e first h a l f , as t h e half ended with Hope t r a i l i n g by a 32-27 count. Hope s t a r t e d f a s t in the second h a l f , t y i n g t h e score a t 39-all with f o u r m i n u t e s gone in t h e half and then going into t h e lead f o r t h e first t i m e a t 45-44. U s i n g a t h r e e q u a r t e r press, the Dutch dropped in 26 points in the first ten m i n u t e s of the second h a l f , to lead by one point, 53-52.

by Kempers and Veldman In the race f o r the M I A A all s p o r t s t r o p h y t h i s y e a r , Hope is in f o u r t h place with 10 points. Albion is the leader a t t h i s t i m e as t h e y have collected 21 points, while K a l a m a z o o is second with 19, and Hillsdale is close behind with 18 points f o r a third place. Calvin and A l m a a r e tied f o r f i f t h with 6 points each while Olivet and A d r i a n h a v e only 1 point apiece so f a r . A r a t h e r unusual p r a c t i c e is t h a t evidenced in t h e m a n n e r t h e j u n i o r v a r s i t y h a s been coached d u r i n g t h e l a s t f e w contests. A good e x a m p l e of t h i s practice w a s seen in t h e Calvin g a m e in which t h e J.V.'s played u n d e r f o u r supposed coaches. This t y p e of coaching isn't f a i r to t h e individual p l a y e r . I t seems t h a t t h e least a school o u r size could do would be to provide a n individual who could w o r k w i t h t h e squad, become acq u a i n t e d w i t h t h e i r abilities and sit with t h e m t h r o u g h a whole g a m e . It's more t h a n can be asked of one coach to be responsible f o r t w e n t y men in t w o g a m e s on the college level. \l V# M T h e j u n i o r v a r s i t y h a s a l w a y s been a w e a k spot in H o p e ' s a t h l e t i c s •V 2 and it's h i g h t i m e s o m e t h i n g w a s done to improve t h i s situation.
The Hope D u t c h m e n bounced back to s n a p a t w o - g a m e losing s t r e a k in M I A A competition, stopping t h e A l m a College Scots, 9076. T h e victory gave Hope a conf e r e n c e record of 3-3 and an overall record of 5-7. Hope opened the contest with the t r a d i t i o n a l run and shoot tac^ tics which worked i n s o f a r a s gett i n g t h e ball down t h e court, but inability to t a k e a d v a n t a g e of scoring o p p o r t u n i t i e s h a m p e . e d the Dutch t h r o u g h o u t the g a m e , h i t t i n g only to the tune of 25 per cent of shots taken. N e v e r t h e l e s s , t h e Dutch m a n a g e d to hold at least a five-point lead t h r o u g h o u t a sloppy first h a l f , m a r k e d by poor ball h a n d i n g on both sides. Coach Visser called on his s u b s t i t u t e s early in the contest when Hendrickson l e f t a f t e r t h r e e f o u l s in t h e first q u a r t e r . The r e s e r v e s held t h e i r own, building a 31-22 lead which stood at 37-29 at halftime. The second half followed much the s a m e p a t t e r n , with the Dutch lead held, f o r t h e m o s t p a r t , a t a r o u n d ten points. Though the r e g u l a r s c a m e back with m o r e polish in t h e second h a l f , the res e r v e s a p p e a r e d s m o o t h e r with VanderLind a t t h e end of the f a s t b r e a k which k e p t t h e Scot zone d e f e n s e open. W i t h t h e g a p cut to 6 points with a m i n u t e r e m a i n i n g , A d a m s , Rink, and M o l e n a a r pumped in enough points to hold a late Scot rally, the final score s t a n d i n g a t 90-76.
