LUBBERS BEGINS NEW POSITION Two Dormitories Added To
To Anchor Readers:
Hope's Campus Property
It is a very stimulating experience to be back on the Hope College campus again, after an absence of sixteen years. With those students and faculty members who have been gone for the summer I share the joy of returning though my absence has been longer. In many ways Hope College is an entirely new institution to me. I, therefore, share with Freshmen and other newcomers the pleasure of novel experiences. Whether returning to familiar scenes or entering upon a new experience we have before us one of the best prospects that has ever found any generation of Hopeites. The war is over and we look forward to reaping the blessings of peace. Men are returning and young men are coming from high schools in increasing numbers. Young women have enrolled in unprecedented numbers and soon Hope will again be crowded to the doors. This implies a complete program of academic, extra-curricular, social and athletic activities. Already rapid strides are being made in that direction. This will be a year of reconversion. It will take all the intelligence, patience and determination we all possess to make it The Year of Great Opportunity instead of a year of frustration. We welcome you to the task of building the greater Hope on the foundations that have been so well laid throughout the years. • Dr. I. J. LUBBERS.
REMODKLING DONK FRATS
TAKEN
OVER
A g r e a t l y increased "post w a r " enrollment has necessitated many changes in the dormitories of Hope College. Voorhees Hall is filled to capacity with dining facilities to care f o r both men and women. Converted to a girls' dormitory three years ago a f t e r being the traditional campus home of men students for many years, Van Vleck has also every mom occupied. "Beach C o t t a g e " known formerly as the Emersonian fraternityhouse will house girl students again this year. This home of the Beach family, before being purchased by the Emersonians, has had its dining room expanded to provide facilities for both men and women. The Fraternal Society's former home has been renamed " F a i r b a n k s C o t t a g e " f o r the old family settlers who built the home. This home too, will house campus girls for the coming year. A complete remodeling and modernization job has been done on our formerly gray stucco building on Columbia Avenue. Known to f o r m e r students on campus as the music building it has a history all its own. From High School building, to Anchor office, to Commons Room, Music building and the official Army headquarters of Capt. Homer Morgan and his staff, it now becomes a residence f o r dorm girls. When completed it will contain utility rooms for laundry and storage in the basement, sizable lobby and a suite for the house m o t h e r on first, and p a r t of the first and all the second will contain girls rooms with individual closets and desk space for each girl. Until it is finished, the girls will live in the Netherlands Hotel. The five dormitories together will house more than 200 women. It is the g r e a t e s t number of girls ever to be housed on Hope's Campus.

Rock Slide Causes Death of Student The death of Miss Dorothy Vander Woude of Oak Harbor, W a s h ington, came as a shock to many Hope College students. Dorothy, in a t t e m p t i n g to jump across an old quarry in Deception P a s s State Park last August 8, was caught in a rock slide which resulted in serious injury. Taken to the hospital, she died two d a y s later. She was the daughter of Rev. and Mrs. B. T. Vander Woude. Funeral services were held August 11, with the burial in Oak Harbor cemetery. Rev. Vander Woude had accepted a call to Woodstock, Minn., and preached his farewell sermon the Sunday a f t e r the funeral. While at college last year Dorothy became a member of the Thesaurian Sorority and served on the House Board.
Student Council To Beach Party Under Council and W.A.L. Gear Program To Peacetime Activity Hope's Student Council extends a hearty welcome to each new student on campus this fall. This year the Council has based its program on aims suited to cope with new conditions on campus — the returning of men to college with cessation of hostilities, the introvention of a new college administration, and the prospects for even larger enrollments than there were before the war. It has adopted a policy which aims to unify, harmonize and stimulate the campus life of the college A better balanced social calendar Will be established. Heretofore it has been a problem caused by every organization not considering its individual plans in the overall social life of the campus. Another intention will be to promote a real understanding between faculty and student body by encouraging a f r a n k expression of all problems t h a t may arise f o r either, and by encouraging an active cooperation in solving these problems. With these purposes as the foundation, plans have been launched for a vigorous social program for the entire college. The Student Council will hold its first regular meeting a t 8:15 p. m. on Tuesday, September 25.
On September 28, at 7:30 the Pan-Hellenic Board will meet in the Commons Room with all new Freshmen girls to discuss the organization of a Freshman Club. This Club will be formed in order to supplement the activities otherwise handled by sororities. The organization will be composed of F r e s h m a n girls only, and will be under the sponsorship of the College Personnel Adds Pan-Hellenic Board.

As the representative of Hope's student body, the Student Council is planning r n All-College Beach Party as its first m a j o r event of the year. We'll get acquainted with each other in true Hope style at the Beach P a r t y at Tunnel Park on the second Saturday afternoon of college, September 29.

Under joint sponsorship of the Council and W.A.L., an afternoon of lively entertainment has been outlined by Clarice Peterson, program chairman. So, grab your "beach togs" and come prepared! Betty Van Lente and Marian Mastenbrook have clothed the subject "Food" under a mystic cloak but hint t h a t it will be something "out of the world." Ess Bogart and Louise Ter Beek head the publicity committee; " f r o s h " boys will do honors as the clean-up committee.

It will be held in the kindergarten room of the Washington School. Mr. Joseph Moran, Physical Education Director of the Holland Public Schools, has been slated as the guest speaker. Besides enumerating the values of a game program in the elementary grades, he will demonstrate howto play various children's g a m e s which promote good sportsmanship and the wise use of leisure time.

The Y. M. and Y. W. sincerely hope that all new students will join the old members for a year of social and religious activity on the cameos.

While at Hope Dr. Lubbers stated he was a "good enough student not to get kicked out." Paul E. Hinkamp, registrar, was his History professor and Mrs. H i n k a m p instructed Dr. Lubbers in English. His extra- curricular activities centered mainly around oratory and baseball. Dr. J. B. Nykerk was his public speaking mentor during his Sophomore year. That year Dr. Lubbers represented Hope in the S t a t e Oratorical Contest. The folfowing Dr. E. D. Dimment and Dr. Nykerk took Dr. Lubbers to the Nationals at Atlantic City, NewJersey. He was defeated by the famous Baptist minister. Dr. Bernard C. Klassen. In his Senior year Dr. Lubbers was the winner of the S t a t e Oratorical Contest at Butler University in Indiana, but once again was defeated in the Nationals held a t Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota. Of his baseball career Dr. Lubbers is justly proud. His b a t t i n g average stood highest f o r a number of years. J a c k Schouten, A t h letic Director, even a t t e m p t e d t o put him into pro-baseball. Directly a f t e r g r a d u a t i n g f r o m Hope Dr. Lubbers was appointed as a teacher in t h e China Mission. World W a r I interrupted his career and he joined the Army Air Forces. A f t e r the w a r Dr. Lubbers enrolled a t Western S e m i n a r y until he was ordered by the Board of Foreign Missions to go to India as Principal of Hope High School. He remained t h e r e two years and then took a trip around t h e world. Upon his r e t u r n Dr. Lubbers went to Columbia University where he received his master's degree.

Choose Wisely
The Editors of the Anchor have attempted to describe to our new students some of the aims and purposes of the main organizations on the campus. The entrance requirements in many cases have been stated so that you may know the extra-curricular activities that can be pursued. We are not advocating that all new students immediately become members of every organization and club for which they are eligible. These explanations have been given so that you may choose wisely those clubs that will be of most personal benefit. The transition from high school to college, or from college to college always requires emotional and mental readjustment. We would like to suggest that the wise student is one who, during this transitional period, places great emphasis on his academic readjustment. Attend classes daily! GLEASON Keep up with daily assignments! These are two major Lt. Bob Gleason — a former requisites of good Hope students. member of the A.S.T.P. at Hope is 0 occupying Germany. He — and B.
We Pledge We have attempted in this issue to acquaint the student body with our new president and his family. We have been on the campus this past week and have caught several glimpses of Dr. Lubbers "in action." Efficiency seems to have become the by-word and an earnest desire to "get things done" is the goal. We of the student body are admittedly rather difficult to handle. We are impulsive and a little sure of ourselves. But we do know, however, that Dr. Lubbers has a keen understanding of our youthful minds, and is ever interested in the thoughts and problems of youth. Dr. Lubbers is also genuinely aware of the spiritual traditions and ideals that make Hope a distinctively Christian College and for this attitude the student body is deeply grateful. Dr. Lubbers is assuming his position at a time when Hope has to gear her thinking and curriculum to peace time living. The transition, coming so suddenly, will undoubtedly present unusual problems. We are therefore taking this opportunity to pledge to Dr. Lubbers and his family the cooperation and wholehearted support of the student body. It is our earnest prayer that our new president and family will feel themselves valued members of the Hope family.

They Certainly Sound Good To Us . . . W . Schrier Everyone loves a Lubbers, we hear, and Hope College students are j u s t as susceptible as anyone else. The more you know about people the better you like them so here's f o r a little i n s i d e dope about our new " P r e x y " and family. The most remarkable new addition to the campus seems to be "Spotty" their devoted fox terrier. He's a dog of personality and his education is one acquired through atmosphere — not plugging. His friends are legion but to be confined to a classroom is his pet peeve, so students are asked to refrain from forcing on him any degree of knowledge. He is an excellent football player but has never vied with girls — t h a t I have to see. Bob is the oldest ofTspring of the Lubber clan. He's evidently one of those men you day dream about — 21 years old, 6' 2', and ensign in the Navy, has completed two and a half years a t Yale and wants to go back. There is where the dream abruptly ends. "I'm Forever Chasing Ensigns" — Hubba Hubba. He's stationed in Washington, D. C., but also works in an architect's office on the side. He is called an artist of no mean repute, loves to sketch, and will go into t h a t line of business a f t e r the war. A man with a f u t u r e . But why does Connecticut have to get him! ! When I asked Mrs. Lubbers if he was married she said, "When we heard from him a week ago he wasn't." Boy, does she know her younger generation! The Lady of our CampuH is definitely the small economy size. The smaller than her 3 boys, she still manages to keep her status as the head of the house. She must have something because even though "all her girls are boys" she can rule single handed. She sure took on a bunch of the other sex when she came to Hope's College for Les Femmes. We girls are going to have a hard time competing with her taste in clothes — which is excellent. Her boys says she can cook, too. She feels she has a job ahead of her, feeding them and furnishing the presidential mansion. I can see why, I find it hard making room 34 presentable. The President's youngest is Don. A woman hater by instinct, (but I
don't think it will last) he thinks he's going to enjoy Hope because the more women there are the more he can hate. The emotion is by no means reciprocal as the college girls who worked a t the Mary J a n e this summer will tell you. Don is attending Holland Junior High School this year but maybe he'll eventually try Hope. His spe ciality is golf and can beat his D^d — Lead on MacDuflf! ! We've got two men f o r Hope's football team already signed u p — Spotty and Don. Where do we go from there fellows? Neither our " P r e x y " or the " M r s " are new at Hope College. Both graduates of Hope, they have managed to come back to the deah ole town of Holland, Michigan, since then. A f t e r graduation Dr. Lubbers went into the air service and helped develop the forerunner of the B-29. Like our previous president he is a man of many letters. He was in India f o r awhile and, also President of Y. M. C. A. Mission Drive — the results were stupendous. He received his Master's degree at Columbia, his Doctor's at Northwestern and has taught in India, Holland (Hope) and Carroll College, Wisconsin. (How that man gets around). In 1934 he went to Pella, Iowa, as president of Central College where (and I do quote him here) "I had the time of my life for eleven years." "Being president of a college is the most fun in the world. It causes lots of headaches — but I love headaches." (I think Ripley ought to hear about this!) All I can say is I hope he gets as big a bang out of being president of Hope College. I'm sure the headaches won't be hard to get. Right, students? ? ?
De Graaf Returns Receives Michigan With Degree Speech Degree From U. of M.
A f t e r a year's leave of absence, Prof. Schrier is again on the faculty with a doctor's degree in speech which he received J u n e 23, 1945, a t the University of Michigan annual commencement. Dr. Schrier's thesis is on the topic "A Rhetorical Study of the Political and Occasional Addresses of Gerrit J. Diekema." Gerrit Diekema is a prominent alumnus of Hope, class of 1881, and he served as the secretary of the Board of Trustees for thirty-seven years. Mr. Diekema was a member of the legislature from 1886-1891, chairman of the Republican state central committee from 1900-1910, and a representative to the House in the National Congress from 1907-1911. President Hoover appointed him as envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to the Netherlands in August, 1929, a post which he held until his death at the Hague on December 20, 1930.
Prof. Clarence De Graaf returns to the campus this fall with a new t i t l e — D o c t o r of E d u c a t i o n in English. Dr. De Graaf received his title at the 101 «t annual commencement a t the University of Michigan on June 23, 1945. The degree is a new type and hasn't been offered before. Dr. De Graaf's thesis, "The Nature and Scope of an Introductory Course in Literature in the Liberal A r t s College in the U. S.," required an e x t e n s i v e s u r v e y of changing trends in college education. This n a t i o n a l s u r v e y was done in 1940 under the University of Michigan and Hope College. Dr. Clarence Dewitt Thorpe was the chairman of the committee f o r Dr. De Graaf's degree.
Assistant Librarian Post
M i s s Elizabeth Vorhes, since 1943 an assistant in the reference department of the University of Minnesota library, is Hope's new assistant librarian in charge of reference and circulation. Miss Vorhes was librarian of the Minnesota state hospital at Rochester and later assistant librarian in the circulation department of the Minneapolis public library before she filled her position at the university. She has her A. B. from the University of MinDr. Lubbers is also a sports lovnesota and her B. L. S. from the er. "I like to win chess games, University of Minnesota library see football games, and unfortuschool. nately have to lose golf g a m e s (But I can't quit)." This introduction is elementary to the real Lubbers but there is a Tks Tailor standing invitation for more at their home. For a friendly chat, 191/, W a i t 8fh Streat a good conversation, or a hearty laugh, stop by 92 E. lOth St. Take it from me, I got that kind of reception when I dropped in on them for an interview more than slightly stricken with palsey and the jumping heart beat.
A f t e r a successrui summer all the old Sorosites gathered up all their P. J.'s and hit the road for the Heartsease Cottage at Mac to start off another big year for Sorosis. Amidst the greetings of reunion and the "finishing off" with the food, plans were made for the future events of the sorority. Nat Bosman as president called th" group together for a short business meeting and Betty De Vries.as vice president began her plans of proTrams. Joldy read the minutes of the last meeting and Es Bogart as treasurer told us the plain fact« of the treasury situation. And so in the wee hours we all sang "Hail to Sorosis" and called it a day. SIBYLLINE

Merry laughter, gay chatter, and
songs about the fireplace came echoing f r o m the Newton cottage in Macatawa Park as the p a j a m a clad returning Sibyllines gathered to talk over their coming year's big plans. Harriet Stegman Van Donkelar took over the presidency. That makes her head of two households, doesn't it? Missing was Carol Kile, vice president who has to have an operation at Mayo Brothers. B • ' Away along in the wee small hours some thoughtful person suddenly thought of Convocation next day and suggested something unheard of a t a slumber party — sleep. The lucky Seniors made way to the beds before some lower classmen jumped in and much later — or was it earlier — the house settled down to almost a quiet, with g r e a t events scheduled for the semester. DELPHI Sleep knits up the ravelled sleeve of care — but how w o u l d the Delphi's know? " S l e e p y H o l l o w time" a n d "Good N i g h t , s w e e t dreams" are things unknown to us, but "Midnight Reveille" and "Milkman's Serenade" at 11:60 P M. — just mention them and see how much we know. "Give the lady ten silver d o l l a r s f o r t h a t c o r r e c t answer." The number one meeting of the "Humber one" year was held at Gunn Cottage on Tuesday, September 18, s t a r t i n g the new term off with a rip-roaring "Hi gates, let's syncopate." With Joyce Van Oss holding the reins, in the driver's seat. Delta Phi is expecting a big year. Betty Van Lente arranged the first meeting.

Sports commentators are eagerly watching the comebacks of several returned veterans. W i t h a few weeks practice, Red Ruffing and Hank Greenburg were back in the lineups for their respective teams. If these two who a r e past their prime of athletic skill can make such s t r o n g showings, younger s t a r s should be able to equal or even better these records. Buddy Lewis of Washington proves t h a t . Bob Feller was able to step in and bolster his team a g r e a t deal when he was released since he had been pitching regularly and against t e a m s of major league caliber at the Navy base where he was stationed. Others are in positions similar to his. Whenever the players return, the m a j o r leagues will regain the high quality of baseball that has made it the number one American sport.

The g a m e was finally called because of darkness. This 24-inning game tied the previous record of extra-inning ball games.

Lord Byron Nelson continued to b u m up the golf links by below par scores in adding a couple more t o u r n a m e n t s to his ever growing list of victories. His total money e a r n i n g in nine consecutive tourneys is approximately $50,000 as he compiled the longest s t r i n g of triumphs ever achieved in top flight golf. Sneed, Hogan, and McSpaden, also top flight pros, have been overshadowed by the consistent playing of Nelson.

Baseball highlighted the s u m m e r s p o r t s p r o g r a m throughout the country. Sandlot, industrial, minor, and m a j o r leagues all come in for their share of praise in providing sports-interested America with a busy wartime and peacetime schedule. Both m a j o r leagues gave f a n s plenty to watch since both are still very close races. However, the Cubs and the Ti ger s seem destined to meet f o r baseball's classic, the World Series. Both have had t h e i r ups and downs as the percentages show, but they also have the pitching t h a t will help them keep t h e lead and widen the margin. Nevertheless, the Cards are still a i m i n g for the top, while the Senators, Yankees, and Browns are still giving the Tigers a run f o r t h e i r money. Only t i m e will tell w h a t teams will meet in the World Series, but several individual s t a r s will do a lot to decide. Hank Bowowy h a s n ' t been doing so bad f o r the Cubs since he was purchased from the Yankees late in July, and the Cubs also have a , good h i t t e r in Phil C a v a r r e t t a who is leading the National League in b a t t i n g a t present. Newhouser and T r o u t have shared t h e b r u n t of the mound duty for Detroit and have come through in the win column with the help of their only 300 hitters. Mayo and Greenburg.
Don't waste t h a t energy you accumulated d u r i n g the summer, f o r this coming school-year's athletic plans are filled to overflowing with plenty of enjoyment for everyone! J u s t what is your choice — Softball, tennis, volleyball, basketball? You name it and Jack will have it. Gym classes are scheduled to go on much the same as last year. Providing, of course, there a r e n ' t too many men ( w h a t are they, something to e a t ? ) on the campus to crowd us out of the gym.
