Campus Host To Mich. Gov. Assoc. Hope will be the host campus to the conference of the Michigan Association of College Student Governments on Tuesday, November 15. The member colleges of this organization are Adrian, Albion, Alma, Hope, Kalamazoo, Hillsdale, and Olivet. Hope's officers of the group are president John Adams, Mary Jane Adams serving as secretary, and delegates Sue Underwood and John Tempas. The present vice-president is from Albion College, • while Kalamazoo College has provided the treasurer. The fall conference of the MACSG will consist of business meetings and discussion groups on common problems such as elections, leadership programs, social set-ups, and sponsored activities. The purpose of this organization is to draw member colleges closer together on the common ground of their student governments so that they may compare their common and individual problems.
Vespers
The traditional Homecoming Vesper Service will be held Sunday, October 23, at 3:00 p.m. in the Chapel. Reverend J e r r y Veldman, assistant pastor at Third Reformed Church, is to be the presiding minister. The Chapel Choir, directed by Dr. Cavanaugh, will make its first formal appearance of the year. The vocal soloists will be Anita Van Lente, J e r r y Kruyf and Gordon Meeusen. Additional music will be presented by the Brass Ensemble, under the direction of Dr. Rider. Mr. R. Rietberg will offer an organ solo and will accompany the service. Alumni are especially welcome, but students and towns-people have also found this to be a lovely service and a fitting close to the Homecoming Activities.
Queen Holds Forth Due to the f a c t that our next scheduled issue would have to be written on Homecoming weekend, the next edition will be projected to, and dated, Nov. 4.
Mom and Dad'sDay The second annual Mom and Dad's Day will be held on our campus Saturday, November 5th. The general chairman f o r the day is Sue Underwood of the Student Council. The committee chairmen assisting are Donna Paris, Carl Ver Beek, Mary Alice Ferguson, and Jim Buys.

Bob Winter will preside as master of ceremonies. The queen and her court will be escorted by eight senior members of the football team. Captains, John Adams and Lynn Post, will present the queen with her jeweled crown, gold football and dozen red roses. Her first official act as regina of Homecoming will be the lighting of the bon fire. The cheer leaders will be in charge of the rally around the fire. Coaches Russ De Vette, A1 Vanderbush and Dr. Green will be presented so t h a t they may render a few comments on the game.
Arrangements have been made to have the Homecoming parade route blocked off, and no parking allowed There will be a 6 p.m. chicken on Eighth Street during the parade, dinner at Durfee Hall with parents, thus giving the spectators a good sons, and daughters attending, fol- view of the proceedings.

The problem of the core curriculum, meanwhile, has been resolved in committee and reports are to be presented to the Faculty Whole at the end of the month. The Curriculum report, we understand, contains some recommendations t h a t will result in a bit of friction between the practical studies advocates and the proponents of traditional education in the arts.
HEARTHSIDE — — HANDCRAFTS
Anyhow, I've talked around the point long enough! The student writers certainly cannot a t t r a c t any attention through the debating team, the d r a m a and music departments, the oratorical contests, or through Radio Hope College, so what this campus needs is a literary publication which will come out weekly, monthly, or semesterly (poetic license) and which will contain discussions, articles, stories, criticisms, poems, and themes written by the students themselves. Students in other colleges do it, why can't we?
The judging of the house decorations of Hope College's dormitories and fraternities will take place this evening. Mrs. Van Raalte, society editor of the Holland Evening Sentinel, Bill Gargano of radio station WHTC, and A r t h u r Read, architect for the Holland Board of Education have consented to be the judges for this Homecoming event. The co-chairmen of the house decoration committee, Ethel Smith and Ed Vander Kooi, will conduct the judges on two surveys of the dormitories and f r a t e r n i t y houses, a f t e r which the ballots will be marked. Two loving cups will be awarded, one f o r each Men's and Women's outstanding decorations. The awards will be presented by the Queen at the half-time ceremonies of the football game, on the afternoon of Saturday, October 22nd.
The house decorations are based on the theme. Book Titles. The Fraternal Society has chosen Westward, Ho!; the Cosmos will work from the subject The High and The Mighty; the Emersonians have selected The Pilot; the Arcadian F r a ternity will offer To The Lighthouse; and the Knickerbockers have decided to do The Wizard of Ox. The women's decorations will be The Little Engine That Could by Van Vleck, the Anchor of Hope by Voorhees, and Through the Looking Glass by Durfee.

All well and good — if the friction produces some light. But, we ask t h a t it be kept in mind t h a t the ultimate goal of education is not just the ability to earn a buck — but rather, the creation of an understanding and happy person.
While wandering around t h e campus last Friday, I witnessed for the first time some creative ability. Possibly you too noticed the small groups of artists so intent upon painting campus scenes. (At least that's what they said they were doing — I couldn't discern a thing!) Now, the art students make up only a most minute minority of the students on campus. Very few students can draw and paint, but, theoretically, everyone can read and write. However, these poor talented writers and readers have absolutely no chance to show off their ability since there is next to nothing by way of student literature to read on this campus and there is certainly no place to submit original literary work f o r publication except to Opus, which comes out in late Spring. And even then there's no time f o r student criticism of campus talent a t that late time.

As for the Ford Study, those who participated are to be cong r a t u l a t e d — it is also hoped they gained much individually. However, the true value of the study will come in the practical application of what, in essence, are abstract conclusions.

The rest of the faculty must become empathetic to the thought embodied in this study. And yet, it goes still f a r t h e r — any change in the largely intangible process of education will become manifest only in the life of the individual student who allows himself to become G O O D FOOD affected.

To this end, the written study — a 300 page folio — should be available for each student to reflect upon. Since this is, at the present, physically impossible, we offer the Anchor as a medium for the dissemination, in condensed installments, of the changes which have and are taking place. It was a cerebrating experience to attempt a comprehension of the depth and magnitude of the Ford folio. We wish the same experience f o r others. The need for communicating the insights and enthusiasms is great.

There is one point upon which our beliefs are in conflict with the Ford report. In a questionnaire given to Student Council, Blue Key and Alcor, the students made the generalization that "the example and approach, to the course, taken by the individual teacher" was of great importance. The Ford Study rejected this on the grounds t h a t students contradicted themselves when it came to naming names and courses. But, the committee does admit "a general lack of conscious understanding of the thought processes among the faculty". That there can a belief t h a t we have no "lousy profs" is inconceivable and egotistical. We suggest that any of our campus educators who believe this sit in on some of the classses we are i n — (or perhaps sit in on their own classes?). We are heartily in agreement with the proposition t h a t studies should not be orientated around information but r a t h e r around questions to which the information is relevant. That the faculty consider how to ask these questions is mandatory. But here its ordinary professor stops — and the worthwhileness of a course also stops. The type of teacher we want — and need — is the one who realizes t h a t he is obligated to show why the questions presented should be answered and who will instill a desire in the student to want to search f o r valid conclusions. We have placed a t r u s t in your intellectual integrity. It should be your desire to impart this quality to your students. In order to do so you must — academically and as personal friends — be enthusiastic about your own attainment.

Frosh-Sophs Splash Party Yesterday, the Pull coaches met with the Pull chairman and by the toss of a coin determined which side of the Black River the respective teams will defend. The teams have been well coached and conditioned, leaving only the outcome to be decided today at 4:00 P.M. F o r those of you who are in doubt as to how to reach the Pull site, Chuck Pettingill, the Pull Chairman, has given the following directions. In order to reach the South side travel past Russ' on M-21 and park at Suburban Motor Sales. Then follow the path on the other side of the gate to the Pull site. To get to the North side travel past Russ' on M-21 and turn left at the first road a f t e r the blinker light. Proceed over the brige and railroad tracks; then turn left and continue to the Holland Die Company. Turn left into the parking lot and follow the dirt road in the r e a r to the Pull site.

If you notice two of the SC executives minus a g r e a t deal of hair we'd like you to know that it is our own doing. We've been tearing it out by the handfulls over the upset in the functioning of the Cultural P r o g r a m Committee and their final action—disbanning. They handed their powers over to the Student Direction Committee which has nothing to do and is looking f o r business. On the other hand, the Lyceum Committee, a supposedly defunct group, thinks t h a t all the problems have arisen because they weren't given their rightful duties. Instead of explaining the deadly details which set up the confusion through the ranks, let's look at the unavoidable fact this mess points out. When we set up the CPC last spring, we thought we were moving a step ahead in u n i f y i n g and strengthening the cultural program and committee. Now we've found we really did a good job! We formed a committee t h a t h a s not been recognized and whose actions did not coincide with its powers.

Why not go back even f a r t h e r to the constitution, which gives us our power? The basic weaknesses are found throughout. The campus program of student activities has not been formed with a hierarchy of authority. We feel t h a t the SC should be the highest instrument of student self-direction and leadership. With the SC at the top it would be logical to a r r a n g e our four m a j o r areas of concern in higher education immediately under it.

COMMENT It is to be noticed t h a t the majority of the social life on campus is promulgated by the f r a t e r n i ties and sororities. While this is a natural and oft times advantageous situation, it can create a problem in t h a t all-college spirit and unity is diverted into a f r a t e r n i t y or sorority alone and thus, the social life of a college is compartmentalized and suffers because of it. With this compartmentalization, goes a fierce rivalry ending in unfriendliness and a strong lack of that spirit that should manifest itself in post-game functions, etc., but doesn't. With a student council sponsored homecoming function, an all-college f o r m a l , a Christmas p a r t y , the Pull, and other student council activities in the offing, t h a t Hope College spirit can be revived through attendance and interest.

Along with this interest in allcollege social life t h a t is asked of the student body, it should be carried f a r t h e r and be asked of the faculty too. Is there any reason whatsoever why faculty members can't associate with students on a social level as well as on an intellectual level? It is true t h a t this is done in clubs and in other school related organizations, but to a small degree only. Certainly students would be f a r more eager to bring their problems to f a c u l t y members if these members could be conceived to be friends, interested to a degree, in the same things students a r e interested in. An increased f a c u l t y interest in student social affairs would do much to bring the two groups together, and it might even be conceivable t h a t faculty members might have f u n doing it. Note to Faculty Members: Count the f a c u l t y members at the Pull and see faculty participation f o r yourselves. —W. L a t h a m

Dutch Tangle with Undefeated Hillsdale in Homecoming Classic Praters Take Lead In Football
Harriers Chalk First Win
Last week's touch football schedule proved to be one of surprises. The final scores shaped up as follows: Cosmos 12, Seminary 12 F r a t e r s 22, Emmies 4 Knicks 6, Indies 6 Arkies 24, Cosmos 0 In the Cosmo-Seminary game, the Seminary held the lead 6-0 at halftime on a pass f r o m Smith to Keizer. Two passes f r o m W a g n e r to Klaasen temporarily put the underdog Cosmos in the lead, but the Seminary tied the score on a pass play f r o m Van Hoeven to Smith. That same day, the undefeated F r a t e r s scored three touchdowns and two s a f t i e s to beat the E m m i e s 22-4. Bylenga threw two touchdown passes to Failor and Spaan and ran the other one over. The Emmies accounted f o r their f o u r points by scoring two safties. Wednesday's action saw t h e Knicks and Indies battle to a 6-6 tie. McCall of the Knicks ran over f o r the first score and Hoffman of the Indies scored on a pass play in the final minutes of the g a m e to end it in a dead lock. The Arkies scored f o u r touchdowns to d e f e a t the Cosmo's 24-0 in the second game played on Wednesday. Verduin scored two touchdowns, one running and the other on a pass, while Hondorp and Schrier caught passes to account for the remaining scores.
The Hope College cross country team scored its first victory of the season Saturday afternoon preceding the Hope-Adrian football game. The Hope harriers defeated Adrian by a 21-38 count and thus put their conference record a t one win and one loss. Herb Widmer crossed the finish line first and posted a winning time of 22:54. He was closely followed by Jack Walchenbach, who fiinished second, and Carrol Bennink, who took third place. Brockmeier and Cooper finished in the eighth and ninth positions to finish out the scoring f o r Hope. They were followed by Soeter and Williams in the next two positions. By observing the times and the running techniques one can readily see that the Hope thinclads are improving with every practice and meet. Much credit must be given to the nine members of the squad f o r their fine spirit and t h e i r willingness to work so hard. They have shown a real desire to get out a n d very adequately represent Hope College in the race across the hills and vales. Special notice should be taken of the fine job being done by Dan Meeuwsen, the cross country mana g e r . Little Mouse has done an excellent job of getting the men in shape to run the gruelling four miles. With Dr. Green tied up in the training room Dan has taken much of the responsibility upon himself and has eased the pressure on Dr. Green. Along with the seven men who ran a t Adrian Ron Den Uyl and Ingvar "Doc" Franzon complete the squad. Although they do not have g r e a t depth we are sure t h a t the Dutch h a r r i e r s will come through with quite a n u m b e r of victories before the season closes out.

As I sit here contemplating, pen in hand, my ears are assaulted by the enthusiastic chant of an inspired g r o u p of men. The words ride out upon the crisp night air, ringing loud and clear, "Beat those Sophomores!" Listening to these words, I am overcome by nostalgia as I think back to the long ago — to the days t h a t used to be. I remember last year, when the pale fall sunlight cast her simmering beams e a r t h w a r d through the golden yellow and red leaves, and the bright green scum drifted thickly and lazily upon the quiet river. From memory's hallowed reservoir come again those inspiring words of my own class, as we bravely and boldly defied upperclass authority with our rousing battle cry, "Rah, rah '58!" Those shadows I see sweating and straining — practicing and prep a r i n g — are our boys, girding themselves to meet destiny. And lastly I recall t h a t grand and glorious day when all our e.Torts were culminated in t h a t final rousing victory. The last thing I see is a bedraggled group of Sophs, s t r u g g l i n g vainly to regain a lost semblance of dignity, as they ingloriously pull themselves f r o m the slimy river. But now memory's page suddenly becomes dim, and I am rudely awakened to the f a c t that the past is no longer with us. My thoughts become sad and I am filled with anxiety and f e a r . A t r e m o r goes through me as I realize t h a t this is a new class — filled with new vibrance and enthusiasm. As I realize this I wonder — what has happened to us? — to our loyalty, our s p i r i t ? Where is that certain intangible something t h a t we — the Sophs — the class of "58" possessed when we s t a r t e d marching resolutely down the road toward f a m e and immortality. Has all our class loyalty and spirit been diversified to other extraneous organizations? H a s our ship of glory been launched only to be sunk beneath the tide of f r e s h m a n d e t e r m i n a t i o n ? Has our flame of hope been ignited only to be smothered by the force of f r e s h man resolution? Sophomores, rally again around your banner! Let us strive on with new hope, vigor, and s t r e n g t h to keep t h a t banner of "58" flying proud and high, t h a t it may ever wave, clear a g a i n s t the sky.

Back of the week . . . This week's choice of back of the week goes to quarterback John Holmlund whose sharp passing and astute calls were the highlights of Hope play. *

Last S a t u r d a y Hope was defeated by Adrian 18 to 13 in a game determined not by consistent superior or inferior playing but by the good f o r t u n e of one team in having the opportune breaks presented at the opportune time. As the statistics show, Hope should have been the victor; nevertheless the essential scoring opportunities t h a t could have m e a n t victory failed to a p p e a r f o r Hope. In the first half of the g a m e a "stonewall" Hope defensive unit limited the Bulldog's rushing attack to only fourteen yards, while the Dutch offensive machine rolled in high-gear with Johnny A d a m s alone plowing his way through f o r sixty yards. In the second quarter, John Holmlund fired another of his touchdown passes to senior end Lynn Post f o r the score. However, with just two minutes left in the first half, Adrian took possession of the ball on Hope's f o r t y yard line. The Dutch defense expecting a long touchdown pass was taken by complete surprise as Adrian's Hodge took a short screen pass and with f o u r blockers ahead of him ran untouched f o r the tally. At the half Hope led seven to six. Adrian gained and maintained the lead in the third q u a r t e r as All-M.I.A.A. back Brian G r a f f a maneuvered to a position behind our safety-man where he received a pass and pranced f o r the second Bulldog score. During the last period the Adrian sc2£Ujg«-attack reached its culmination with a s a f e t y and a field goal. As in other games with only minutes to go, Hope desperately attempted to regain the lead and gain the victory. With two minutes left in the game, the accurate passing of Holmlund and the skillful running of Adams combined f o r a thirty-eight yard scoring play. But the sorely needed third touchdown failed to materialize.

the M.I.A.A. championship last year with a perfect 6-0 record, and there are 32 lettermen r e t u r n i n g f r o m t h a t squad. Yes, Hillsdale is loaded this year — and if you don't believe it, listen to their coach F r a n k (Muddy) Waters. " W e ' r e a t least 50% stronger than last year. Now we have both depth and experience." A record 85 players reported f o r practice, forcing W a t e r s to split them into separate groups. "Our biggest problem," he says, "is seating them." He calls N a t e Clark, "The best back in the M.I.A.A. bar none. We'll use two separate backfields — a light mobile one to run the T-plays, and a big powerful one to run the single wing," W a t e r s added. W a t e r s calls his line "big, strong, and f a s t , " adding: " N o t many teams will run against us." The Dales' biggest problem is — now get this — "lack of enthusiasm on kickoffs and punts." Well, anyway Dutchman, we can depend upon getting a t least one touchdown; f o r as Muddy says, "Each school we've played we've allowed one touchdown — its common courtesy, we're a friendly school." W a t e r s looks to Hope to be stronger this year despite her losses. " B u t , " he smiles, "I guess we're the team to beat." Yes Muddy, we just guess you are the team to beat, so let's go Dutch — D A M U P W A T E R S ! ! * * *
