The 1961 edition of the AllCollege Sing will presently be a reality and all the hours of hard work and diligence will show their reward. Tomorrow night, at 8:00 p.m. in the Holland Civic Center, will be the hour of decision concerning the singing abilities of the various social societies on Hope's campus. With everyone rushing around applying those necessary last minute touches and final polishings, the campus is in a frenzy of activity. After everything is done, it's all up to the judges, who have in previous years, found it hard to decide on the winning sorority and fraternity. Only time will tell the names of the winners and the evening promises to be an exciting and entertaining one, whatever those names will be.

Music Department Plans Concert March 7 Dean's List Students On Tuesday evening, March 7, the Music Department will present a combined concert by the Hope College Orchestra and the Symphonette, both groups conducted by Dr. Morrette Rider. The performance will be held in the Chapel, and will begin at 8:15. The twenty-seven-piece Symphonette will open the program with Suite by the Swedish composer Lars-Erik Larsson. Following this, senior hornist William Kuyper will be the soloist with the group in the Horn Concerto of the contemporary English composer, Gordon Jacob. The O r c h e s t r a , numbering twenty-one pieces, will open the
second half of the program with the Royal Fireworks Music of George Frederick Handel. The original Royal Fireworks music was a set of dances and serenades which Handel wrote in 1749 f o r the lawn parties of George II, then the king of England. The well-known suite which will be performed here is a transcription by the British conductor Sir Thomas Beecham. The final work will be the First Symphony of the Russian Dmitri Shostakovich in 1925, when he was 19 years old, eight years a f t e r the Communist Revolution. Because the Communist Regime criticized his "bourgeois"

King Dies. What Now? The death of King Mohammed V of Morocco on February 26 may bring some uncomfortable results to the U.S. and their Western allies. The ex-king, alledged to be related to the prophet Mohammed, was the Moroccan symbol for independance as well as a religious leader. It was these factors that aided in the unification of a land that was in 1956 divided into the Spanish Zone, the French Zone and the International Zone. The present king, 33 year-old king Moulay Hassan II, son of Mohammed V, does not have the image or the following his father had. Mohammed V ruled in a monarchy aided by a cabinet. He had neither a constitution or a parliament. It was believed he wanted a requblic, but wanted to establish it gradually.
In April of 1960 a group of
army officers, civil servants, police officials, and conservative businessmen and land owners wanted to put the present king, Hussan II, in power and establish a more authoritarian rule, but continue a policy of co-operation with the west generally. What the present king will do remains to be seen. The big question is, can King Hussan II remain in power? His opponents are the leftists, politically organized in the National Union of Popular Forces Party with a Moroccan Labor Union that is dominating the Moroccan labor movement. It is felt the aim of the Moroccan left is to make a socialist economy led by a oneparty government. However, it is said that there is little Red influence in the Moroccan left. Morocco turned to Communist aid for the first time since their independence at the end of 1960. It was the present King who reached the agreement with the Soviet Ambassador for 14 jet aircraft and who agreed to begin talks on Soviet assistance in all areas. This had a definite effect on the U. S. Moroccan policy, ofr because of this turn to the East the U. S. boosted their aid from $40,000,000 to $50,000,000. They also drafted a five-year plan which will give the Moroccans $1,700,000,000; the majority of it will aid agriculture and basic industry. Morocco is known as an unpredictable country. However, we must remember it is not an island in itself. What happens in Morocco will influence nationalist movements in all of Africa. Also, as was stated in last week's editorial, any Communist hold in North Africa will be a serious threat to the security of free Europe and thus to the whole West. As a part of this small world it is the individuals duty to know what is going on.

new under the sun. But a young man of twentyone has done it. Noting that logic and the general nihilism of such philosophies as Peal ism, beat thought, and Calvinism as interpreted by such men as Vander Van, Van Bavenriddle, and Van Kuiperen have left the world in a rather sorry state, he has posited a new philosophy which shall undoubtedly shape the course of philosophic thinking f o r the next few weeks. Born in Pilsener auf dem Blatz, Heinrich Maria August Johann von Schutzschmerz-Kastanjebaum took his early education in the Pilsener Schule fuer den gebildete Mensch (also known as Public School number one), and, after a brilliant record, matriculated into the famed Schweinhacken Hochschule fuer Studien auf und von Philosophic and Natuurwissenschaftlichen Theorien. His entrance into the University of Reichneau am Loewenbraue was a foregone conclusion, and he took his doctorate in philosophy at that institution. Not soon after, on November 21, 1960, he published his nowfamed book, Eine Kurze Einleitung zum Untersuchung der Hemp-Philosophie.
Yet this introduced another element into the universe, which was antithetical to the original harmony of the spirit (Seele), and the resulting clash of forces (Dingen), produced the conflict of the spirit and the physical in which we now find ourselves (unsselbst). If things were to remain at this stage, there would obviously be no way in which we, as individuals and human beings, could resolve this conflict. But because we are partly composed of the spiritual harmony (Giestesharmonie) and partly made of matter —antithesis (StoffGegensatz), we are able to recreate the harmony which the universe has lost. This is certainly optimistic and, if true (and there is no reason to suppose t h a t the man is wrong) may revolutionize our thinking. But how can man rejoin the two parts of his nature and the

It is fiendishly difficult to discuss the basic tenets of this work in such a short space, but the importance of this system of thought must be brought before the non-philosophic reader. It is basically a simple philosophy, influenced perhaps by oriental neo-platonic mysticism. V o n Schutzschmerz-Kastanjebaum noticed at an early age, that the basic cycles of life and death were endlessly repeated, in many different forms, in all things in the universe. This in itself,.is not new. / Y e t Von Schutschmerz - Kastanjebaum's conclusion is indeed startling. There is, says, the famed philosopher, a basic life force (Geistes-drang) in all living things. This life force (GeistesDrang) is "ein sensuale Ausdruck des geistige Zwanges, der man in der suesse Hemp Pflanze find." i.e. "a physical expression of spiritual force, which one sees expressed in the sweet hemp plant." And here we have it. A philosophy based, somewhat like Bergson's idea of the universe, on a purely natural and observable phenomenon. Now, how exactly is this philosophy related to us as individuals, and what far-reaching consequences does it have? Von Schutzschmerz - Kastanjebaum sees his life-force as a basic ingredient of all things in the universe (Weltall). All things, every atom, every neutron, have as their common denominator this life-force, and as a result, all things are related to each other in inexorable bonds (Banden).
universe's being? This is where the hemp plant comes in. Von Schutzschmerz - Kastanjebaum sees in the lowly hemp plant all stages of the process toward reharmonization. The hemp seedling, he says, is the physical "StoffGegensatz", which is striving with the spiritual "Geistesharmonie". In this striving, it produces the Hemp plant, which when burned, and the smoke inhaled, achieves the realm of the spirit (Seele), and succeeds in transcending the limits of both physical and spiritual. This process is called "re-transcendence", or, in the succinct German "Aufklarung." Von Schutzschmerz - Kastanjebaum does not seem at all bothered by the f a c t t h a t the inhalation of the hemp fumes cause almost immediate idiocy on the part of the inhaler. He claims that he never noticed it, and dismisses his critics by quoting several passages from De Quincy, whose experiments with opium are a valuable guide to the study of the human individual under stress (stress) in which De Quincy sees no harm in the practice of taking drugs. The developments will bear watching.
At one time, says the great thinker, everything in the universe "saw (sah)" this relation, and "seeing" it, dwelled in harmony with itself. Out of this sweet harmony, came the world of matter, springing forth as an expression of love (Liebe).

Sorority Life Is A Busy One With the last sorority formals just over and the All-College Sing just ahead, the campus is in the middle of one of the busiest seasons of sorority life. On March 10, the Panhellenic Board will meet with prospective rushees to discuss the regulations of rushing. Therefore, many freshmen women will presently be considering the merits of belonging to particular sororities; Sorority comprises many different aspects of organization. There is the spiritual and intellectual side of the sorority. This is embodied in the regular Friday night literary meetings of each sorority in which devotions, a serious paper, and a humor paper unite the sorority on a spiritual and intellectual level. An important side of sorority life is the opportunity f o r sorority sisters to work together. The building of homecoming floats as well as preparations for date nights, formals, and informals, give individuals within the sorority chances to exercise their leadership abilities. The Penny Carnival, from which the proceeds are given to a worthy cause, gives each sorority a chance to work together f o r the service of others, as do other service projects which each individual sorority may plan. The social and semi-social activities of the sorority com-
prise a third important division of sorority life. In the fall the sororities get off to a good start with a houseparty, usually at a cottage on Lake Michigan. Homecoming arrives soon after and the sorority float becomes the center of attraction. Sorority date nights, which may be hay-rides, square dances, or boat rides, provide sorority members a chance to treat their favorite guys to an evening of fun and festivities. Immediately a f t e r Christmas, work begins on the formals. Long hours of work are put in, in order to make the big night a roaring success. And then that night arrives and makes all the time spent well worth it. Almost tripping on the heels of the formals, is the All-College Sing which affords each sorority another chance to work together toward a common end—a big gold cup. The Sing is a highlight of the whole college year— especially if you are a participant eagerly awaiting the announcement of the winners. Gay springtime is highlighted with exciting, but nerve-wracking rushing events as well as informals. Sorority life is without much doubt a time-consuming activity, but the social development for which it provides makes it also a rewording experience.

Debaters Win In Detroit Two Hope College debaters, Mary Whitlock and Peter Eppinga earned certificates of Excellent for their debating effectiveness during the Annual General D e b a t e Tournament sponsored by the Michigan Intercollegiate Speech League at Wayne State University in Detroit on Saturday. The two debate teams from Hope competed in a total of twelve rounds of debating on the national intercollegiate debate resolution. Resolved: That the U.S. should adopt a program of Compulsory Health Insurance for all citizens. Miss Whitlock, a Chicago junior, teamed with Ann Herfst, a Holland junior, on the affirmative, to compile a record of two decisions out of three rounds of debating. They were awarded decisions over Western Michigan Men and Central Michigan, and were edged by the University of Detroit in a round of crossexamination style debate. Mr. Eppinga, Holland sophomore, and Herbert Tillema, freshman from Arlington, Virginia, combined efforts on the negative. Following a loss to Alma College, Tillema and Eppinga out-argued Albion College. In their cross - examination round, they were decisioned by the only undefeated team in the tournament. Western Michigan Women. Hope's other negative team of Mary Veurink, a Grant junior, and David Kleis, a Holland sophomore, dropped decisions to Flint Junior College and Wayne State University a f t e r taking a decision from Ferris Institute. The Affirmative team of Calvin Rynbrandt, a Waupun, Wisconsin senior, and James Schaap, a Holland sophomore, were defeated in three close debates by Wayne State, Kellogg Community College and Port Huron Junior College. Accompanying the students and serving as judges f o r the tournament were Mr. Gene D. Rucker, instructor in speech at West Ottawa High School, and Prof. Robert L. Smith, director of debate at Hope.
This can be done in the dornu but the atmosphere isn't nearly as nice as that in the Recreation Room.
DEAR LOIS: What About Student Council?! Dear Lois: What does the student council do ? Does it have the power to make any decisions t h a t will make an actual change? Dear Wondering: I interviewed a council representative and found t h a t the decisions made in their meetings are presented to the administration in the form of suggestions, but they can be accepted or rejected. If rejected, and if the council still thinks that something should be done, it can "push" harder by submitting the suggestion again. When the student body feels something should be changed they should submit their suggestions to council members who will then present it for council action. If rejected, it's up to the students to "push" the council. An example cited was the ventilation problem in the smoking room. The council submitted the suggestion t h a t f u r t h e r steps be taken to ventilate the room, but the administration said that it was not needed! The council, to date, has taken no f u r t h e r steps If any students feel there is a need for ventilation in that stuffy, smoke filled room, then urge your council representative to "push" in f u r t h e r suggestions. How about a little initiative!!

Fire in Chapel Firemen and fire engines were called to campus Monday evening at approximately 8:30 p.m. The students in the evening classes in the chapel noticed the smell of smoke near the northeast entrance. Going on the theory "Where there is smoke there is fire," they called the the firemen. The smoke was traced to the basement where the motor that pumped steam through the radiators had burned out.

Dutchmen Down Doles 101-85 Rolling up their highest score of the season, the Hope College Flying Dutchmen closed out the season with a smashing victory over Hillsdale College. The accuracy of the Orange and Blue seemed a fine contrast to their rather dismal showing against Kalamazoo last week, converting over 47% of their shots and breaking the century mark for the first time this year. The Dales put up a fine struggle in the game (which, incidentally, may prove to be the last one ever played against them. None are scheduled next year, and other leagues are making overtures to them), tying the score four different times in the first half. A f t e r leading at halftime 56-48, a comeback attempt by Hillsdale was thwarted easily by Vander Hill and Capt. "Wilt" Vanderbilt, who was playing his last game for the Dutchmen. Vander Hill, highscorer with 23, Capt. Vanderbilt with 18, and Senior Norm Schut, also playing his last game for Hope, paced the attack. The victory left the Dutchmen with a record of 13-9, and their 9 wins and five losses in the league entitled them to third place standing, along with Kalamazoo College. Of the eleven men seeing action against the Dales last Saturday night in the final contest of the 1960-1961 season, three Seniors were donning the Orange and Blue f o r the last time. Captain William "Wilt" Vanderbilt, and classmate Don Boyink and Norm Schut played their last game f o r the Flying Dutchmen, and each contributed to the 101-85 w i n n i n g effort against our ex-rivals.
Unusual Hobbies (Cont'd from Page 3) ernmental agency in Washington, D. C., has on file statements f r o m documental sightings reported by observers. "There is also proof in the form of maps that flying saucers and their occupants could have been in existence thousands of years ago." He recalled that several years ago a family from a long line of Turkish navigators turned over the Turkish Naval Office maps of Antartica and Greenland, with the longitude and latitude clearly and accurately indicated, and showing Greenland as three separate islands uncovered by ice. "Maps Drawn Long Ago" "The f a c t that these maps show Greenland in three parts proves they were drawn long ago. Moreover, the longitude and latitude could have been so accurately marked only from a high altitude," he said. "Flyers set out to see if such a range existed, and they found the mountains. Before the 1950's nothing was known of this particular range," Rowen said. Rowen hopes that through his research he will make people aware of actual flying saucers, a phenomenon to which most people react indifferently. When he completes his research he hopes to s t a r t on another subject, ptoltergism, the phenomenon of flying objects— in homes (e. g. radios, f r y i n g pans, table lamps).
The three Seniors Norm Schut ( 1 3 ) , Bill Vanderbilt ( 2 4 ) , Don Boyink (shooting) combine efforts in the Valparaiso game.
Captain Vanderbilt enjoyed one of his best seasons this year, always contributing substantially to the Hope effort, and while the Dutchmen have seen better years, "Wilt's" performance left nothing to be desired. Bill was introduced to Anchor readers earlier in the season (Anchor, Feb. 17th), and hopes to coach in high school next year. Don Boyink hails from Grand Haven, Michigan. The 6'5" senior, tallest on the squad, was out f o r the first four or five weeks of the season with an injured foot, but came back to help the team in the latter part of the year. His 22 point effort against Albion led the Dutchmen to a victory just when they needed it most, a f t e r a three game losing streak. Don, a Dean's List student for the past two semesters, and a member of SNEA, hopes to teach next year and coach basketball. Norm Schut, 6 1 " 170 lb. sen-

ior f r o m Hudsonville, came to Hope a f t e r a tremendous high school record, in which he lead the old Kenewa League, known to residents of Kent and Ottawa counties in scoring. Norm bowed out in fine style against the Dales with a 12 point performance, and, as Captain of the Dutchmen diamond aggregation this year, will undoubtedly be heard from again in local sports columns. A biology major. Norm also plans to teach and coach either basketball or baseball next year. All three boys commented t h a t the team's two victories over Calvin were their greatest thrills of their Hope athletic careers. The services of these men will be missed next year, as will their spirit of competitiveness and fair play. Over and above their playing abilities, Hope students and f a n s have good reason to be proud of them f o r a type of fine sportsmanship which was evident in every game.
