DON SAGER Once again t h e Merry C h r i s t m a s season is ushered in with a minor snow flurry and European headlines. On e v e r y corner pseudoS a n t a s with w a t c h f u l eyes guard their ever-boiling pots. Even our l a u n d r y s p o r t s a sophisticated blue and silver w r a p p i n g ! Now is the season when s m a r t juveniles watch with growing interest their p a r e n t s belief in the S a n t a man. F o r a f o r t n i g h t the lesser known Marx b r o t h e r s m y s t i f y us with an imposing a r r a y of mechanized, lithographic toys and reap a v e r y comf o r t a b l e m a r g i n of profit theref r o m . While we Americans hang our holly we are r a t h e r disturbed by r u m o r s t h a t our regimented European neighbors are h a n g i n g crepes. P E A C E ON E A R T H . . . Not so many years ago, geologically speaking, a group of nightwatching, n o n - A r y a n shepherds were mystified by a Heavenly Presence heralding "Peace on e a r t h prood will to men." That was the first Merry Christmas. The Wise Men of the day expressed their g r a t i t u d e for the Christmas Blessing via the g i f t medium. (And man has been a gift-bearing animal at this season ever since.) As man progressed chronologically f r o m the Christmas birth he found it increasingly more difficult to abide by the portents of the first message. A f t e r all, was he not a sentient individual, fully capable of caring for himself? Did he not possess the faculties of scientific procedure, philosophical mummery, and reflective thinking? Certainly talk of peace has its place but it's more manly to s t a n d on your own two f e e t ! And in this modern age t h i n g s of the spirit should be relegated to a nice dark corner—we must be more progressive! And so we have fallaciously rationalized ourselves away f r o m the t r u e meaning of Christmas. That was the first Merry Xmas. AN U N K N O W N QUANTITY " X " stands for an unknown quantity, so I have been told. Could that be a p r i m a r y cause f o r our present troublous condition? F o r too many years we have l e f t the Christ out of Christmas. And, try as we may, we're still not, nor ever will be, big enough to paddle our own canoe. We've been a d m i r i n g ourselves so long in the light of our highly polished civilization that we a r e now the victims of an acute stigmatism. A CHRISTMAS PRESENT What a pleasant surprise for this Christmas season would be a ret u r n to a healthy conception of mind, m a t t e r , state, and spirit. We must get our feet on the ground once again and reach the point where we may believe. All too long have we l)een duped by political bogey men, ill-cast religious dogmas, and universal contempt for man's right to live. Can we not sit down sometime and have a nice long chat with ourselves and find out, f r a n k l y speaking, just what the "score" is before we j u m p into life's muddling s t r e a m ? Maybe if we do t h a t now, we won't be faced later on with a veritable a r m y of "generation g e n e r a t e d " " i s m s " and "schisms." We recognize the fact that we are young, and s a t u r a t e d with the super-idealism of youth, but was not the first Christmas message an idealistic a s s u m p t i o n ? (I am not a candidate for seminary. Nor do I believe t h a t one must possess monastical inclinations to associate the first Christmas and our subsequent misapplications of its t r u e message with our present s t a t u s quo.) They say the best things a r e left unsaid, so j u s t look back yourself and note the effects of our "Christless Christmases." Merry C h r i s t m a s ! o

Messiah Popular In Eleventh Performance
A large and appreciative audience was present at the eleventh consecutive p e r f o r m a n c e of Handel's "Messiah" last night. Prof. Kenneth Osborne handled well the difficult task of directing the large chorus, composed of 175 voices f r o m the Civic chorus and the Hope college chorus. Miss Thelma Van Eisenhauser gave a splendid p e r f o r m a n c e as soprano soloist. It was recently disclosed that Miss Von E i s e n h a u e r has become a m e m b e r of the Chicago Civic Opera Company. Equally commendable w a s the p e r f o r m a n c e of Miss Beatrice Brody, contralto, f r o m New York. At the present time Miss Brody is the teacher of voice at Wesleyan University, Bloomington, Illinois. Mr. Eugene Dressier, of Evanston, 111., sang t h e tenor solos with fine style and interpretation. The audience g r e a t l y enjoyed the Mr. Hardin Van Deursen, basso, and especially the air, " W h y Do The N a t i o n s ? " , which always seems to be extremely popular. Mr. Eugene Dressier, who took the tenor p a r t , is also a prof e s s o r of voice at N o r t h w e s t e r n University, while Mr. Van Deursen is affiliated with the University of Michigan. Mrs. Curtis Snow, organist, and Mr. Alvin Schutmaat, pianist, gave fine support to the chorus and soloists.

Hope Senior Delivers Math Treatise At the fall meeting of the Michigan Section of the Mathematical Association of America, in Kalamazoo, C o r n e l i u s Groenewoud, Hope college senior, delivered a 15minute paper on "A Few Mathematical Recreations." Professor Albert E. L a m p e n , newly-elected chairman of the association, introduced Mr. Groenewoud. In his paper, Groenewoud described a magic square he had worked out, and the E g y p t i a n system of unit fractions. The p a p e r was very well received. The association meets only twice a year, at which meetings p a p e r s by faculty and student members of different colleges are given. The students are selected by their own professors.

The Anchor and t h e Student Council believe. The council endorsement of The Anchor's suggestion was seen a s a practical result of closer cooperation between the college paper and the student governing organization. The aim of both g r o u p s is to develop a more unified and active student body through a correlation of Anchor and council functions.

This will a t least allow him the opportunity to give intelligently when t h e opportunity comes. More formal preparation f o r the drive in the community would also help.

Most of us a r e approaching the age where we begin to realize t h a t life is not j u s t all "take," but t h a t there is a necessary amount of "give" as well. Strangers, acquaintances and friends are looking to each one of us personally for t h a t finer sense of appreciation, t h a t understanding of reciprocity, t h a t element of returning good for good which is expressed in the words "give and take," and which formerly was centered in our parents but which we must now assume in order to carry on successfully in t h a t branch of our vocational efforts. Specifically, I would like to urge all Anchor readers to Patronize Anchor Advertisers. These m e r c h a n t s make your Anchor possible. It is only the keeping of good faith, only t h e "give" of the "give and take" t h a t you should patronize these merchants. These are the business houses that want your friendship and value that friendship highly. They t r y to carry stocks t h a t are pleasing to you. Many of them run specials for you in their Anchor ads. Many of them cut prices particularly for college students. Everyone of them in some way or other has something to offer you t h a t is j u s t a little b e t t e r than the non-advertisers. Another m a t t e r of g r e a t importance at the present time is t h i s : You will not have any, or at most, very much, time to do your Christmas shopping at home this year, f t ' s almost imperative t h a t you buy your Christmas g i f t s in Holland. Even if you could buy the same thing in your home city, t h e r e is a certain deeper thrill when the package bears t h e name of a firm in a d i s t a n t city. Why not give all your friends t h a t experience by doing your Christmas shopping with the Holland merchants who advertise in the Anchor? Finally, I give you this thought. The ads do not just fly into the Anchor office every two weeks, nor do they even come in by the more prosaic United States mail. A great deal of time and effort is spent in securing the Anchor ads, and in making a layout for them. So when you see an Anchor which seems to have a few more ads than you think it should have, remember that there are other issues when we do not have enough ads to pay for your paper. And so, forgive, and the next time you go out to purchase even the smallest item, check your Anchor to see if your purchase is advertised. When you pay for your purchase, smile in that sweet way that only Hope students and faculty have, and say, "I saw your ad in the Anchor," or, "This sale is due to your ad in the Anchor." In this way you will have^ carried put your part in this small phase of the "give and take" of life, and everyone will be the happier for it. — A1 Van Dyke

SYMPATHY
by Genne Nafe Dear Santa: I am a little girl twenty years old. I live with my mother and daddy. They said that I should write a letter to you and tell you what I want for Christmas. Gee, Santa if I could only tell you exactly what I want, do you think you could give it to m e ? 1 know I haven't been a very good girl but mother and daddy say it isn't what I've done before that counts—it's what I'm going to do after Christmas. And I told them like I'm telling you now that I am going to be the very best little girl in all Hope college. And now, Santa, can I please tell you what I'd like for Christmas?

Anchor Announces Joining All-College Peace Front
PEACE ON EARTH....
1939
Science Drive Facts The goal of the drive is $250,000. The campaign must be finished by July., 1941. Every Reformed c h u r c h will be contacted and given a chance to contribute during the drive.
55 Midwest Colleges Have Joined New Peace Organization The enlistment of The Anchor in the all-college Peace Front, organization of college newspapers dedicated to the desire of staying out of the European war, was announced last week by Anchor editor, Robert Bonthius. The Peace Front is sponsored by Editorial Editor Stan Frankel of the Daily Northwestern, Northwestern University paper. At present 55 midwest colleges are in the fast-growing g r o u p . 25 eastern colleges have joined under Princeton University and, in the f a r west, UCLA's Donn Brown, son of Joe E. Brown, is organizing the universities. A letter from Mr. Frankel, last week, stated that he hoped to have every college in Michigan "lined up by the end of 1939." Aim of the Peace F n n : papers will be to enforce and educate student opinion against participation in war. Most necessary approach at the moment is to encourage the growing optimism that wo can stay out of war. Also important is the chrystallizing of anti-war feeling by logical reasons for staying out. The enthusiasm with which college papers have welcomed the Peace Front's invitation to join in concerted effort to guide reader opinion appears as evidence of the overwhelming p e a c e sentiment
Holland's goal alone is $50,000, of which a large percentage has already been collected. Van Raalte hall, as all o f . us know, is a poor place to be on an afternoon when the labs are throwing off any fumes. The building is not constructed f o r scientific work.
i ^fl
Hope is rated high in the field of science, and every year places men in university fellowships, scholarships and assistantships out of all likely proportion.

This original cut was made especially f o r The Anchor by staff member Grovene Dick. The motivating thought of the creation is the contemporary significance of the birth of Christ, as the star of Bethlehem stands over a modern city. Casting proamong college students today. Student newspapers are emphasizing that a government of the people, such as America, will not go into war unless the people voluntarily decide to go. The realization every student will go, if war is declared, is added reason for the college press' exercising of the inherent right of free speech in a united effort for peace.
phetic rays towards the crosses of Calvary, the star's message implies that peace on earth will come only when the modern age looks to the message of the cross for the solution of its many problems: for the basis of peace is love.
Christmas and a Single Candle
There is a g r e a t need in t h i s day of materialistic science, to teach science in a Christian college under Christian perspective.

Hope Dutch Meet Central Dutch Here December 28 Co-Captains for 1939-40
IN THE PRESSBOX by Eddie Dibble — Little remains of the past football season but the various bowl g a m e s around the country. This correspondent likes Tennessee in the Rose Bowl. However, this goes only if Cafego is able to be there, and with cleats on. In line s t r e n g t h too we f a v o r t h e Southerners. Mention should be made, too, of the a w a r d s showered about the ears of "Iron M a n " Kinnick of Iowa. We probably have not run across all of them, but the two t h a t are outstanding are his being named the g r e a t e s t athlete of 1939 with Joe DiMaggio as runner-up, and his election to the captaincy of the '39 All-American team. His title of "Iron M a n " is justly deserved f o r Kinnick played sixty minutes a game, week a f t e r week, against the toughest schedule any team has known for years. At home the final round-up of
a w a r d s follows: elected to the AllMIAA 2nd team were Honholt, Hudson and Brannock. Captain Powers made the first team and is now eligible for the "most valuable player in the league" a w a r d t o be given some time soon. Bill Tappan was given honorable mention. Captain-elect for next year is George " Y u t z " Heneveld. Ken Honholt was honored as the man showing the best spirit through the season. The basketball squad is looking better at each new appearance, and, with the exception of general unrest caused by the itchiness of their new jerseys, seems to be suffering no g r e a t handicaps. The team will s t a y in camp during the Xmas vacation, playing Central College here, December 28, Western State there, J a n . 3, and Kazoo here, J a n . 9, the day we return from vacation.

tioned frosh but were also defeated. The score was 30-19. The regular schedule began Monday, December 18 and all t e a m s competed. Playing in the league again this year are the Knickerbockers, The Emersonians, T h e Cosmopolitans, The F r a t e r n a l s , and The Independents. All squads have been practising vigorously f o r a season of exciting basketball. The i n t e r - f r a t e r n i t y league always has been an interesting one. For the past three years the championship has been decided by a single point. All t e a m s have become stronger this year with the addition of some formidable frosh and with those prospects in view, the rivalry will be very keen before a champion team is unearthed.

This year college court teams will play under revised basketball rules that are intended to reduce fouling and minimize t h e disadvantages many claimed existed under last year's regulations. Here is the complete list of rule revisions announced for this year's rule book: 1. The end line of the court shall be four feet from the face of the backboard (this had been optional last season). The exception to this rule is for courts where the physical limitations of the floor do not permit such an extension but a two-foot minimum is required. The ideal court is 94 feet in length from outside line to outside line with 86 feet from the f a c e of one backboard to the face of the other. 2. A slight change has been made in the specifications of the ball relative to its resilency. 3. (a) A f t e r a free throw for a technical foul the ball is to be awarded to the team which was awarded the free throw, the ball to be put in bounds at midcourt. 3. (b) When a personal foul is called the offended t e a m has the option of t r y i n g a f r e e throw or of putting the ball in play from out - of - bounds. If t w o f r e e throws are awarded this rule applies to the last f r e e throw. It does not apply in the case of a double foul. 4. For college teams, ten-minute quarters instead of twenty-minute halves is optional.
League
The basketball league for women of Hope college opened Tuesday evening, Dec. 12, at eight o'clock. Two g a m e s were played, and the teams proved to be quite evenly matched. The first g a m e between the Tigers, captained by Althea Raffenaud, and the Wolverines, headed by Ruth Van Popering. The Wolverines were victorious with an advantage of three points. Final score was 12-9. Besides the captains, other members of the teams a r e : for the Wolverines: Jeanne Jennings, Loraine Timmer, J a n e t Shuptrine, Laura Roosenraad, D o r i s Vanderborg, J e a n Richard, Dorothy Curtis, Marion Fisher, Edith Rameau, Mildred P o t t e r , Loraine Brouwer, and Lilleeth Brouwer. F o r the Tigers: Jeanne Price, June Baker, Dorothy Bonga, Florence Dykema, Marjorie Last, Teddy Meulendyke, Jean Ruiter, Dorothy Shramek, Marion Tysse, Ruth Williams, Marthene Van Dyke, and Norma Becksfort. The second game between the Panthers and Wildcats (pardon the cattiness of these tiles) was also a close one, the Wildcats finally winning 12 to 10. Members of the Wildcats a r e : captain, Bernice Freleigh; Eleanor Dalman, Nancy Boynton, Betty Daugherty, B a r b a r a Follensbee, Joan Schultz, Beth Marcus, Thelma Van Dyke, Betty Vyverbergh, Mildred Swenson, Mary Frelick, Carolyn Kremers, and Dona Eby. F o r the P a n t h e r s : Captain, Lois Heinrichs; Ruth Stegenga, Anna DeJongh, J e a n Wishmeier, Peg Hadden, Edith Klaaren, Eloise Boynton, Marjorie Brouwer, Janet Clark, Helen Leslie, Mary J a n e R a f fenaud, Sarella Van Oss, and Irma Stopples.
If a player in the act of throwing for goal is fouled from behind or roughly handled from any direction, two f r e e throws shall be awarded whether the field goal is made or not. G .

F o r their second game of the season, the Hope court five met Michigan Normal, better known as Ypsilanti, on the Armory floor and in the course of events added another scalp to their belts by sending the Ypsi men down 36 to 23. Their opener, played here Dec. 5, against F e r r i s Institute, gave the Hopemen an easy victory, the final score reading Hope 47, F e r r i s Institute 19. Highlights of the game were the antics of "Red" Ballantine who alternately told the captain of his team and referee " J e r r y " Breen of Holland High where to get off and the sudden appearance of what appeared to be one of the "Dead E n d " kids in a Ferris uniform. There was nothing wrong with the lad, but he had a size forty-eight uniform on a thirty-four f r a m e . In contrast to this game, the Ypsi game was fast, tricky and hard faught. It plainly showed t h a t there is good material in this year's squad, and that they can play together. There was a g r e a t deal of spirit in the play; the home boys knew they were up against a tough combination and didn't give an inch. Furthermore they scrapped for every inch they made. Brannock was on and made 18 points to become high-point man for the evening. Honholt came next with 6 points. Honholt, Slikkers and Montgomery made trouble for their opponents from whistle to whistle with clever defensive play. A newcomer to the ranks who looked good was Gil Van Wieren, a sophomore. This game was regarded by many of the side-line coaches, and even by Coach Hinga himself, as the first one in which a comparative estimate of the team's strength might be made, and the victory brought smiles to all.

Central College Five Out to Beat Hope It will be Dutch a g a i n s t Dutch when Coach " B a b e " Tysseling brings his Central College basketball squad f r o m Fella, Iowa, t o meet t h e Hope hoopsters, here, on Thursday, December 28. These sister schools will be battling f o r a mythical title in the first meeting the history of the two institutions. The Flying Dutchmen also are t a k ing on Calvin on their trip to Michigan. Rumors f r o m the corn country have it that Central will present a fast-breaking but untested attack against the Hinga basketball machine. The Maroon and White have a v e t e r a n line-up with Loupee and Huisman at forwards, Menning and Van Arkel at the guard spots and "Little" Ed Huibregtse a t the pivot post. Hope should have a slight edge on the visitors on the home couit. The Ypsi game brought to the f r o n t the strong defensive play the Hope quintet is capable of when pressed. Coach "Bud" Hinga will probably stand pat with the same line-up that started a g a i n s t Ypsi— Lokers and Montgomery at the forwards, Honholt and Slikkers at guard and lanky Lee Brannock a t the center. The Hingamen wind up their preconference schedule when they journey to Kalamazoo, J a n u a r y 3, t o play Western State. The MIAA season officially opens f o r the Dutch J a n u a r y 5, when they meet the Arian Bulldogs at Adiian.
