In cooperation with the Fourth W a r Loan Drive, W.A.L. is proposing a Fill-Your-Book campaign. The object of this campaign is to get^ each person having a stamp book to fill his book so that he may possess a War Savings Bond by the end of the School Year in June. This will not tax the individual a g r e a t deal but it will save him from losing his stamps when "the books" a r e packed away f o r the summer. Women's Activities League is also working on entertainment for next semester. Because there aren't enough weeks in the month, days in a week, or hours in a day, the J a n u a r y Coffee has been postponed indefinitely. Instead, if the cold weather continues, W.A.L. and W.A.A. will have a Snow Party in the form of ice skating sometime the second week of February. This will be a "Come-one, come-all, bring your skates, skate, and have refreshments at the dorm afterw a r d " affair. February being Leap-year month, Libby Romaine is planning an allgirls party to take care of the e x t r a day. This is a new venture on t|ie W.A.L. social calendar. The f r e s h m e n and sophomores will ask the juniors and seniors f o r dates and i n j n S T t - o v e r s can take each other so t h a t everyone will come in two's.
Prof. Bast Acccpts Call To Bethany Church Hope students and faculty have received the news that Reverend Bast has accepted the pastoral charge at Bethany Reformed Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This news w a s met with regrets by the college students because Rev. Bast has become an integral part of the campus life. He came to Hope in 1939 to assume the position as college pastor, and to act as advisor for the Y.M.C.A. He has also taught all the student Bible classes, and much has been gained through his friendly guidance and direction. Although he will take up his charge in the very near future, he will continue to teach his college classes on Tuesdays and Thursday

For Short Plays P. and M. Prepares A t the last meeting of Palette and Masque, on Wednesday, Janua r y 5, the members were divided into several working groups with about five members in each. These groups are each expected to be working on a short play to be presented f o r the group a t some future meetinf. The president appointed a playreading committee, the members of which a r e suppofed to read plays and take notes on them so t h a t when one of these working groups wants % play, the playreading committee can suggest a suitable one. The committee Is composed of Elaine Scholten, chairman, Anne Vanderveer, and Bill Brandll. A committee to type copies of the plays chosen f o r production consists of E d n a May Richards, Helen Bleeker, Marian. Xorteling, Joanne Decker, and Marie Jenkins.

It is definitely known t h a t some new faces will appear in the unit when a new contingent of soldiers arrives sometime during the week of J a n u a r y 29th. Two reasons are given f o r the fact that soon some of the present soldier-students may be transferred to other posts. It is expected t h a t approximately 6 per cent of the present students will be eliminated from Hope because of academic reasons. There is also the possibility t h a t others will be enabled to take more specialized work in professional schools and in the army air corps.

A f t e r taking preliminary exams adnvrastered by the Army Air Corps recruiting service in Carnegie gym, forty-five soldiers were last week sent to Kellogg field for f u r t h e r air corps exams. Up to this time, the success of the examinations are unknown. Very little is known a t present, even by the army personnel, about the t r a n s f e r s and the extent to which they will be effective. All that can be definitely said, states Captain Homer Morgan, is that "some are coming and some are going; beyond that we can't say for sure."

Editorials Post-War World Is Youth's Challenge In any post-war reconstruction the youth of today will play a tremendous significant role. Our task is not only that of winning the war but also that of winning the peace, and keeping it won. From economic chaos order must be restored, from scorched fields crops must be harvested, from bombed buildings, beautiful cities must be rebuilt. Material reconstruction alone, however, is not enough. With peace there will have to be a wider understanding among the peoples of the earth — a spiritual regeneration. How is this new understanding to be realized? Will the nations of the world continue international relations through meaningless treaties and through world courts that have no central authority? Our country was unprepared for war, but will history be compelled to record the tragic fact that it was unready for peace? We hope not. Today's college students should form definite opinions about some of these problems. We must realize that victory should result in some form of collective security at the risk of losing certain of our possessions and nationalistic tendencies. We must find some method by which we can create an international government sufficiently strong to maintain order in the world, yet at the same time avoid interference with the essential freedoms of sovereign nations. To achieve international goodwill we must discover some means of disarming individual nations so as to create a powerful world police force, at the same time keeping this police force from becoming an instrument of tyranny. It will be up to us, as tomorrow's world citizens, to set up the foundations of a New Order. "To maintain freedom is the privilege and heritage of youth." R. J. Note; A four-hour class in post-war problems and re-construction is being offered second semester by Dr. Dimnent during the Fourth Hour.
Remember, its • Week of Prayer For many years Prayer Week has been a great asset to Hope students. It is an asset that only a Christian college such as Hope can offer. This year we are given an opportunity to meet and hear a great Christian leader, in the person of Dr. Shafer. Opportunities should be made the most of. Students who have classes from brilliant professors, learn little, unless they put forth some individual effort. True, they will absorb something from the lectures they attend, bu this will be small in comparison with what they could actually have gotten out of a course. So it is with Prayer Week. We are certain to receive some benefit from merely attending the meetings and hearing Dr Shafer. However, if we are to get the most out of Prayer Week, we must make it just that, a week of prayer. Tennyson said, "More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of." It's time we put Tennyson's theory into prac tice. Next week, maybe?

Feel like old Mother Hubbard who went to her cupboard and found n a r y a thing there. Nope — it's not because we're just all taking exams. A lot of interesting and promising t h i n g s are coming up though. For instance — a f t e r the success of Ralph Pierce's piano recital, another recital is being planned sometime in the n e a r f u t u r e . Then, the third Sunday in F e b r u a r y will b r i n g a n o t h e r Vesper sponsored by Musical A r t s ; and the Music Dep a r t m e n t will be presenting Anna Ruth Poppen in a J u n i o r Organ Recital in March. And lastly, we've heard rumors of some big plans going on at 4:00 every Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons. Could it be t h a t the Girls' Glee Club is planning a concert? Or — Are There Such Things ?
