Let's Live Today On campus, off campus, at any Bull Session the same topic of conversation is enthusiastically pursued, "those were the good old days" — and they were; filled to midnight and after with coke dates and ball games and all of Hope's endearing traditions. We sit around at the age of nineteen as if we were ninety with our best days behind us. Hope is different this year, every college in America is, to survive it must change with changing conditions. We were happy and carefree with only the regular responsibilities of a college student. This year we have the increased responsibilities of a country at war but it is still possible to be happy and if not carefree then a calmness of spirit. None of us are given burdens which are heavier than we can carry. Maybe we aren't finding good times possible in the exchange dinners and fraternity parties, but they were the more thrilling parts of the "good old days." Today we will find happiness and satisfaction whenever we make the effort. Happiness and good times are a habit earned by faithful cultivation. We will get out of these days whatever we put into them and nothing more. If we have found boredom is it not our laziness coming back to us? It may take more effort and ingenuity to make us shout for joy, but this effort will make our lives more worthwhile and we will be the stronger for it. For those who have left us to keep a bigger Harne alive we must keep shining the spirit of Hope for their return. If we were in their place it would be a real help to know that back here at least things are the same. Memories can be one of the treasures of life but they are for our rocking chair days, not sufficient for today. We should be making memories. Dreams are for us, of course, but they will never be realized by just wishing. It has been said we should love as if we would soon lose them — college days fly swiftly and four years of fellowship and sharing of dreams are gone before we know it. Make the most of today. It can i)e one of the "good old days" of tomorrow! H. W.

I'm a C o w a r d ! ! The following article was written about a year ago by a student now on the campus of Hope. We, the editorial staff of the ANCHOR, do not necessarily endorse it. though we do believe it to be very thought provoking. Any rebuttals will be welcome. Yes, I'm going to become an active participant in the military scheme of things. ! wish to join those other uniformed women who are aiding so aptly. Only my reason for enlisting is not at all noble. I'd like to say that it's because I have a strong desire to become a working part of our vast war machine — that a fiery patriotism burns in my heart. In part, these statements are true. Like every other loyal American, I wish to engage actively in this battle for the Right. But the battlefront knows no bounds. I can do a great deal for my country right at home. War Relief Societies, Civilian Defense Headquarters, Y.W.C.A. Workshops, U.S.O. clubs — innumerable agencies seek my aid. Careful buying, conservation, level-headed observations, discreet optimism, willingness to share and to do without — all these little things go to build causes of startling significance. Yes, there are countless ways in which I can be of service on the home front — and now! Why, then, am I eager for women's training camps? — Because I am a coward. That sounds like a paradox but it really isn't at all. If I face the truth it becomes clear to me that my wish for more active service is really a form of cowardice. You see, I'm not brave enough to face the demands of life at home. Courage is not some innate quality that springs up in me whenever I have need of it. Courage is something that bursts forth in a crisis. It grows to meet a crying demand. I know that the security of the commonplace life at home, the some-

It all started way back when, and there really isn't much to the story except a lot of what not, but since you've asked me for the lowdown I'll dish out with the details. This took place in Holland but it could happen almost a n y w h e r e and at any old time. 1 ^uess it w a s love at first sight when this certain little 20-20 cookie s a w this certain A.S.T.P. dog biscuit.

They treat us wonderful, but we don't get any time off. We get up at 4:30 A. M.. go to breakfast ( m e s s ) at .'>:()(). Classes from 6-12, physical training after noon mess, from 1-3. Recuperating from 3:00 to 3:05. Retreat follows and evening mess. Studies from 6:30 to 8:30. Lights out at 8:30. Rugged I" I)e V e t t e Pvt. Russ De Vette, Marine, is Captain of Denison's basketball t e a m . Last S a t u r d a y night they played Wooster, which team had not been defeated on its own floor f o r eight years. T h e score was 44 38 in f a v o r of Denison. De Vette and Higgs, another m e m b e r of the t e a m , visited " P h i d " Van Duzer, f o r m e r Hopeite, and now senior at Wooster. Pvt. J e r r y Van Singel, U. S. M. C. A., spent his last week at C a m p Lejeune in New River, North Carolina, finishing his s t u d y i n g , " r o u g h ing it" on m a n e u v e r s for three days, and then cleaning the guns— "This has been a v e r y monotonous task and 1 sure am glad it's over with." He expected to be shipped the first of the week. Lucking Mid. Bob Lucking is in the Navy Supply Corps School, at H a r v a r d University. Of Boston Bob says, ' the s t r a n g e s t city I've ever seen. The s t r e e t s are n a r r o w with narrow sidewalks — they look like alleys. There are no street c a r s or busses runninR downtown . . . 1 like the Navy, but I do not p r e f e r it to Hope College. I surely cannot kick about our setup here, it is wonderful to say the least. No reveille is sounded — we gft up by ourselves and no calisthenics until the weather permits in the S p r i n g . Classes run from 0830-1600 with one hour and a half for noon, and a ten-minute blow between each hour. For the first seven weeks we shall study Disbursing, then we take up another phase of the work . . . We even have maid service. The maids make our sacks and clean the rooms every morning- We a r e barracked in the d o r m s of the G r a d u a t e School of Business Administration. The Navy has taken over the e n t i r e Business School . . . about 12 or 13 hundred Navy men, both officers and Midshipmen . . . We reported here on J a n u a r y 14 and shall probably g r a d u a t e , at least those who make the grade, the middle or last of May."

De Boer A / C Willis De Boer, O n ta r io , Calif., was m a r r i e d at S a n t a Ana. He hopes " t h e A.S.T.P. boys e n j o y t h e i r stay as much a s I enjoyed mine a t my C.T.D. at Reno, University of Nevada . . . Now about my life as a ' g a d g e t . ' F i r s t , m a y I say t h a t 1 really have e n j o y e d every bit of my t r a i n i n g so f a r and really will enjoy the r e s t as m y bars and w i n j s aren't f a r off. Some of t h e training has been a bit rough, but it is ail for our benefit. I completed my P r i m a r y phase of t r a i n i n g here and then about the t i m e we w e r e ready to be t r a n s f e r r e d to a Basic school, this place was changed to a Basic and we were f o r t u n a t e l y allowed to remain here and t a k e our basic t r a i n i n g here. Now 1 have anly one week left in basic and then off we go to Advanced where upon completion 1 will receive my wings and bars. Flying is as interesting and e v e n t f u l as you might anticipate — never a dull moment, especially not u p s t a i r s . 1 have had my scares and worries, especially »vhen 1 got lost and landed at a little airport 4()() miles from my base field! 1 c a m e back on my own locomotion, too . . . The best of luck and Godspeed to t h e faculty and all the Hopeites (including A r m y personnel.") Van Dyke Pvt. Harold Van J y k e , in the Engineering I nit at N.V.U. He likes New York a lot since the lights " a r e on a g a i n ! " He thinks the Army is " t h e N u t z , " because he doesn't have to get up until 7:50, and because they live on the tenth floor, and use elevators, instead of marching to classes. He finds Chemistry ' a snap, especially when you've had it two y e a r s . " Danny Yntema, SI/cA.R.M., is itationed at Jacksonville. " F l o r i d a isn't what they say it is, by the way. It's not so w a r m . I could be much w a r m e r in some spots in M i c h i g a n . The w e a t h e r is very changeable. One day it's hot and the next cold. One day it's foggy and the next it rains. I don't like it. 1 just had a flight this morning and it really is a lot of fun. but very h i r i n g , and the f u n n y thing is. whatever I eat. 1 eat twice, and I think you know what I mean. I'm g e t t i n g my radio work much more now. It's really not so easy either, but it's coming, and when I get it, I II really be good. 1 'hope,' 1 'hope,' I 'hope.' "

f u r t h e r orders. Then on our w a y norch, we passed a n i g h t a t f a m o u s Guadalcanal — and then on to Baaika, Russell Islands, in the Solomon g r o u p . We s t a y e d here to become acclimated—and then, a short time ago, moved on up here. ' H e r e ' is an entirely different island t h a n the cocoanut plantation at Banika. This is a typical South Sea ls!e. All j u n g l e — coral, and more j u n gle. Roots — t r e e s — vines — lizards — mud — etc. — a r e g u l a r T a r z a n P a r a d i s e ! Clearing an a r e a for a c a m p site — roads, etc., was really a tough job — but t h a n k s to our allies — the Sea Bees — life has become quite c o m f o rt a b l e a t our new site. Once again we have a swell chow hall — chapel — laundry — t h e a t r e — small stores. Most of our t e n t s have our own showers, right behind our tent — and plenty of f r e s h w a t e r . You'd be surprised how h a r d it is to find f r e s h w a t e r in abundance on most of these islands, so we're fairly lucky. This is the middle of the rainy season — and now I know what they mean when tney say 'rainy season!' In the past week 1 doubt if we've had two consecutive hours in which t h e r e wasn't some precipitation. Our clothes never m a n a g e to dry — once we get them washed — and mud is everywhere. F u n n y how one can learn to disregard little inconveniences like t h a t though. Chow is f a i r — but being a bit f u r t h e r 'up the line,' we're not e a t i n g as well as we were in the Russells . . . rain — it's a blessing in one way. When t h e r e ' s very nearly a full moon!! We've had a couple raids since coming here — and now every time we even hear a plane fly over at night — we dive for our fox holes. None of this waiting until the siren blows. So we've had our baptism under fire . . . I'm once again doing weather work out here — this time with our Army unit. So now I've worked with them all. b u n n y how all the units seem to work with us, and even out here — ' e v e r y t h i n g stops for tea' . . . Delightful habit . . . Darn good tea. too! And so life goes, out here. Up at 5:50 or 6 every morning — duty f r o m six hours to eight hours a day — a movie at night — a letter or two to write — a few c h a p t e r s of some book — and so to bed."

Collegiate basketball rolls into its final month. Western S t a t e has three failures on its report card so the national spotlight has turned in other directions. In the East, Army looks tops with St. Johns running a close second. In the Midwest, the Big Ten race has been very close. Northwestern looked hard to beat until Wisconsin upset them last Friday. Friday also saw Purdue trounce the Ohio S t a t e giants. Iowa has a chance but we will pick Purdue as Big Ten champs. A year ago Hope was in its glory. The "Blitz Kids" had lost just one basketball game. Remember the Flu at Western. They were crushing all M.I.A.A. competition. (Hope 64-Alma 39.) Yes, but this year Hope's athletes ( ? ) have turned to a more quiet sport. You guessed it; they're all playing pool. The object of pool is of course to shoot the pockets in the balls. On first sight the game seems to be one where skill is of 100 per cent importance. Anyway that's the impression you g e t when you watch a table where beginners are vainly banging things around. But at the next table we find Hine and O. K. engaged in one of their unfriendly bouts. Here skill still dominates but that higher quality, luck, is beginning to show its inspiring effects. But let's move on into the more select circles of pool. Here we find those three or four inspired men from the Senior Chem Lab. They have really progressed a long way. They have actually removed 75 per cent of the skill. Yes, folks, 75 per cent of their shots are unplanned! Last but not least, down at the end table we find Sultan of Slop, Bill Westrate, and his top competitor for the position, Carl Herman Koning. Yes, here we have the real champs. Bill is so good that he doesn't even know what skill is. A great game, isn't it?
