This year guided tours of our campus are b e i n g i n t r o d u c e d .

Marge Feldmann is in charge of the tours and she is asking that any student who wishes to participate in the program by acting as a guide please see her. Your co-operation is necessary if these tours are to be successful. The tours will begin at 1():()() a.m. on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and at 1:00 p.m. on Friday.

Tours will

Durfee or Voorhees. Throat lozenges f o r the guides will be strategically located along the line of march.

If you know of anyone who will be in Holland on the 15th, 16th or the 17th of May be sure to tell them of this opportunity to get better acquainted with us and our campus.

The program will f e a t u r e first three numbers by the choir: "Built on a Rock" by F. Melius Christiansen, " H e a r My P r a y e r " by Will James, and "Almighty God of Our F a t h e r s " by Will James; these will be followed by a Beethoven Concerto featuring Anthony Kooiker as pianist. Next are 3 more numbers by the choir — "Hail Gladdening Light" by C h a r l e s Wood, "Brother James' Air" arranged by Jacobs, the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" arranged by Peter Wilhousky. Concluding the program are two selections in which the choir and o r c h e s t r a combine — " P r a y e r of T h a n k s g i v i n g " by Kemser and "America, My Wondrous Land" by Peery. J a n e Vander'Velde and Betty Schepers will be accompanists.

They will be presenting a varied program including popular and classical music.

Durfee Open On Week-ends Hope College's Recreation Room became a reality on Friday evening, April 25th, when the Julianna Room was opened f o r the use of the students. The most popular spot seemed to be the ping-pong table which was quite admirably shared by several groups. Caroms and jig saw puzzles as well as card games kept a number of people busy while popular records played on the phonograph. A number dropped in a f t e r sorority and f r a t e r n i t y meetings to chat and sip Seven-Up. Again this week-end the room will be open as well as succeeding" week-ends. This Recreation Room is being managed by Durfee girls but all the students on campus are welcome to make use of the room.

Bring your date a f t e r the early show or come in groups a f t e r your sorority or fraternity meeting. This is our chance to have w h a t ^ther campuses c a l l t h e i r " S t u d e n t Union." It will only be as successful as we make it. We urge every student to drop in f o r half an hour or stay all evening, get acquainted with your fellow students, and relax in our own Julianna Room.

Local Chamber of Commerce WSSF Drive Concluded; Announces 'Ambassador' Plan Progress is being made on the European ambassador $797 Donated By Students program co-sponsored by the Holland Chamber of Commerce

By Bruce Van Voorst, WSSF Chairman With the end of what seemed to be a never ending flow of money, last week saw the finish to one of the finest examples of Christian brotherhood our College has ever displayed.

During the week of the campaign, and the ensuing weeks of details, somewhere, somehow, the students at Hope managed to contribute $797 for use as our part in helping to rebuild Greece. It was a magnificent display of gratitude, for most of this money which was given was solely missed by those who gave it. Previous to the week of the campaign, the committee had debated for endless hours whether it was possible to carry on two fund raising campaigns in one year.

Few students realized the great amount of consideration which went into the final decision to at least try.

Now that it's all over, and the generosity of a Christian College has again been proven, we must be sure to acknowledge the fine work done by the committees.

It

is impossible to thank all of the solicitors personally, but the administrative c o m m i t t e e realized that the part played by the solicitors was of vital importance. Those students serving on the general ad-

To those of you who have shown this minute interest, I m i g h t remind you t h a t Hope is in thick of the fight for the MIAA All-SportsTrophy. Whether Hope wins or loses this trophy is dependent upon the outcome of the spring sports.

This spring Hope College is represented by excellent basketball, golf, tennis, and track teams. They have an excellent opportunity to help win this honor which Hope has not had since 1947. The football, cross-country, and basketball t e a m s have given their all and the support rendered by the student body was a t times terrific and at times disgraceful.

Why, now t h a t the spring sports are in full operation, leave the conquest of this trophy up to a small minority of the students who love sports and its competitive aspects to win this honor for u s ? If we fail to win this trophy or the contests

Are You A Member?

There is a rather universal club which is represented on many college campuses, but seldom has any real organization. Those who belong hate to admit it, if they are even aware of their membership. The club we speak of is the Foot in Mouth Club which bands together faux pas artists and tactless wonders. Theoretically, most of the members should be underclassmen, but this is not always true. Some seniors have gotten through four years of college and still are active members of the club.

Everyone pulls a boner once in awhile but there is really no excuse for the student who is continually putting his foot in his mouth. There is a right way and a wrong way for saying everything and for approaching any new situation.

In a liberal arts college, graduates are not supposed to be fact machines, but they are supposed to be skilled in interpersonal relationships. For four years they have lived with people from different sections of the country and of the world. They should have so broadened their personalities that they can at least get along with other people without embarrassing "foot in mouth" scenes.

So often in committee work on campus, there is opportunity for a chairman to lead his group to worthwhile action.

But rather more often than we like to think, the leader manages to say all the wrong things and to antagonize his committee. Other committees run smoothly because there is a true diplomat in the lead, a person who has developed tactfulness.

Tact is something which comes naturally to a few people, but by hard work to most humans. Sometimes the best way to come to appreciate tactfulness is to watch it in the actions of successful students on campus. If a person is a tactless wonder from way back, he should discover the secret of the shrewd diplomat who says little, and thinks carefully before saying that! y. s.

T h a t is equally applicable to our local g o v e r n m e n t on campus. Hence I am c o n c e n t r a t i n g , in t h i s article on the p r e s i d e n t and vice president — Gordon De P r e e and Marilyn Veldman, who h a v e so ably carried the touch of leadership.

A m o n g o t h e r t h i n g s the De P r e e Veldman A d m i n i s t r a t i o n h a s successfully u n d e r t a k e n new p r o j e c t s which have a d d e d to the good n a m e of Hope. Such n e w steps include:— 1. The s t u d e n t handbook (still in print.)

A letter, addressed by Dr. Lubb e r s to A r l e n e R i t s m a , S e c r e t a r y of the S t u d e n t Council, complim e n t i n g the w o r k of the Council is published elsewhere in this A N C H O R , f o r general i n f o r m a t i o n .

In my i n t e r v i e w with him. Dr. Lubbers described Gordie and Marilyn as " v e r y energetic and alert persons, with good u n d e r s t a n d i n g of problems of s t u d e n t and f a c u l t y . " He commends Gordie f o r his high capacity f o r h a n d l i n g issues effectively, a n d Marilyn f o r outs t a n d i n g t a c t s with p a r t i c u l a r r e f erence to m a t t e r s of women living in college dormitories. Dr. Ella Hawkingflii*-faculty r e p r e s e n t a t i v e on the S t u d e n t Council, expresses a d m i r a t i o n f o r their balanced judgm e n t and leadership; f o r closer i n t e r - r e l a t i o n s h i p with the f a c u l t y , a d m i n i s t r a t i o n and the s t u d e n t body. Gordie impresses h e r with

Gordon DePree and Marilyn Veldman "evidences of constructive planning." Inquiries reveal a smooth co-operation within the council.

Members supported by studentbody opinions applaud Marilyn and Gordie f o r their keen eyes f o r choosing, without f e a r or favor, very suitable persons f o r the various committees. A lady councilor states, " A lot of the vice presid e n t ' s work is behind t h e scenes; Marilyn w o r k s so h a r d and without a n y f e e l i n g f o r self glory."

Gordie described his deputy as "A s u r e help; h i g h l y dependable and efficient." In a s e p a r a t e interview Marilyn said of her Senior p a r t n e r , "Gordie shows efficient planning, a wide vision and sound j u d g m e n t . " Son of Mr. A. De Pree, Gordie is a l u m n u s of Zeeland High School, where he was m e m b e r of the " V a r s i t y " Club and the N a t i o n a l Honor Society. He s t a n d s 6 f t . 1 in. with a personality of jovial cordiality co-mingled with seriousness. In his c a m p a i g n speech last year he said, " N o n e of you here know w h a t kind of a president I would make. You m a y think I would do a fine job, but in the back of each and every mind t h e r e is, I am sure, a s t r a n d of f a i t h or t r u s t binding your t h o u g h t s . So today I w a n t to build my p l a t f o r m on T R U S T . " Marilyn is d a u g h t e r of Rev. and Mrs. J . A. Veldman, who a r e both Hope's class of 1925, now in O r a n g e City, Iowa. She is the g r a d u a t e of Grand Rapids Central High School, G. R. where she was voted " B E S T A L L - R O U N D G I R L " .

In her election speech last s p r i n g she said poetically:— " T h e y have come to s u p p o r t a s t h e i r candidate A girl who will help them to cooperate With their fellow s t u d e n t s and the f a c u l t y , too; F o r t h a t is the duty the council m u s t do."

Both Marilyn and Gordie feel t h a t Hope s t u d e n t s have more say on m a t t e r s t h a n do ot her s t u d e n t s elsewhere. " W e went in with the

traditional impression t h a t one m u s t F I G H T the College Administration in o r d e r to get concessions. But experience proves otherwise. If approached with f a i r n e s s and u n d e r s t a n d i n g , the Administration very o f t e n goes o v e r b o a r d . " Marilyn and Gordie have asked me to convey t h r o u g h this column their full appreciation f o r " t h e w a y in which the m e m b e r s of the council and the entire s t u d e n t body have co-operated in helping us to c a r r y out the t h i n g s we have att e m p t e d to do d u r i n g the y e a r . " In conclusion 1 t a k e the liberty to express the satisfaction and t h a n k s of the s t u d e n t body to the council m e m b e r s and their chief executives. T h e y have the h e a r t to conceive, t h e u n d e r s t a n d i n g to direct, and t h e hand to administrate.

L e t t e r f r o m the P r e s i d e n t : Dear A r l e n e : I want to t a k e this occasion to compliment you on the splendid minutes you have been supplying.

I t has k e p t me well informed and I have been impressed with their excellence. I would like to have you communicate to the Student Council also my appreciation f o r the splendid work they a r e doing. I do not recollect in my seven y e a r s as president of Hope College ever havi ng a s t u d e n t council t h a t h a n dled m a t t e r s with such m a t u r e j u d g m e n t and wise insight. Occasionally a s t u d e n t council seeks to show its independence by t a k i n g action which they know will be disapproved merely f o r the sake of being independent. Sometimes a s t u d e n t council toadies to the f a c ulty and to t h e a d m i n i s t r a t i o n . I am not s u r e which one is of the least service to the college. Meeting problems head-on and reasoning them out and coming to wise conclusions is the only w a y a student council can really be of service and I feel t h a t this y e a r ' s council has done j u s t t h a t .

Very cordially yours, Irwin J . Lubbers

Any next-year senior, man or woman, in any American college, is eligible. The essays, of 2,500 words maximum, are to be on the subject, "The Meaning of Academic Freedom."

First prize will be $2,500; second, $1,000; and third, fourth and fifth, $500 each.

F M T TEAMS Knicks Undefeated, Early Leaders In Interfrat Loop The Knick softball squad jumped into an early season lead in the I n t e r - f r a t League behind the steady shutout pitching of Wes Sikkema, rolling over the Arkies, 3-0, and edging the Indies, 1-0, for a two-zero record. In t h e second encounter Sikkema held the Indies hitless in the seven-inning game.

The F r a t e r s are in second spot with a 1-0 mark, followed by the Indies and Cosmos, who have each divided in two contests. The Arkies are next with 0-1, while the Emmies are holding* down the cellar with 0-2.

The F r a t e r s ' lone decision was a 14-2 rout of the Cosmos. In their second contest, with the strong Arkies, they hopped up with five runs in the last inning to gain a G-6 tie, the g a m e to be played off later.

The I n d i e s , b e h i n d the one-hit pitching of ace Jim Decker, handed the E m m i e s a 9-2 shellacking. The Cosmos pulled up to the .500 mark when they took their second game, jumping t h e E m m i e s by a 9-6 count.

A short time ago Ty Cobb dropped a bomb into the baseball world by letting it be known that he thought the game of baseball, as played today, stunk. This was followed by a wave of indignation around the country, in which Tom, Dick and even Harry Sportswriter voiced his peep t h a t today's immortals like Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio need not be subjected to such slanderous remarks, even by so prominent a diamond personality as the great Ty. Well, the great Ty is not the rosiest, best-loved figure ever to appear on the sports scene. But he played and knew the game as it should he played — as a game of nerves, strategies, and brains, besides ability. Perhaps what he says is not so far from correct.

Today baseball has been reduced to not much more than a vast money-making scheme. Formerly clubowners used to keep one eye on the gate receipts and one eye on the game; but today they are keeping more than one eye on the gate. They are intent on exploiting the players, specializing the players, with the view of supposedly pleasing the fans.

There are countless players today who have been made to fit into a type. An example is one Vic Wert/,, Detroit outfielder. This year he is a slugger — nothing more — just a slugger. At this writing he has made ten hits in the 1952 season, five of them homers, for a feeble below .20(1 batting average. An instance typifying the current baseball situation happened to this W e r t / about a week ago. He came to bat with the bases loaded and a chance to aid his team's cause, just like in thrilling baseball fiction. A well-placed, Willie Keeler single would have driven in two runs and set up more. But W e r t / aimed for the distant fences; the r e s u l t — o n l y a mighty whiff.

Wertz' trials at the plate this year can be roughly grouped into three categories — a strike-out. a long fly, or a homer. By the law of averages he is bound to hit a long fly over the wall once in a while, usually with no one on base. Then he is a hero. But in the meantime his presence is next to worthless.

Baseball men realize the value of the home run. In a tight game a long blast ends it right there. But these baseball men fail to realize the price they are paying for it. What is worth more — a W e r t / with fewer homers but twice as many bits, or a Wertz as a seldom producing slugger.

Several seasons ago Wertz liberally sprinkled hits all over the field, connecting on homers at clutch instances, knocking in l.'W runs. His outs included many well-hit smacks that, with more breaks, would also have gone for hits. But his future was remade so that today he is a robot, a mechanical strong man.

Another case is Gill Hodges of Broohlyn. In the past two years his home run output has increased by long strides; but his batting average and KBI production have both fallen off as a result. He is a player exploited — exploited to do nothing but hit home runs. Ralph Kiner is not paid to play ball but to hit home runs. Can we call these players among the great?

A two-way boner was revealed recently with the announcement of an offer to Brooklyn of $0oo.oou or thereabouts and five players for the Dodgers' Hodges and Duke Snider. The first boner was in the first club's placing such an outlandish price on these two players — the second the Dodgers' not accepting such terms.

Statistics too show up today's troubles. Pitchers' earned run averages are higher now than in the past; yet there are scarcely ten .300 hitters in each league each year — more runs per hit. but fewer hits.

Natural hitters are exploited, specialized, into something else, and the game suffers.

What is needed is more hitters like George Kell. Kell is not one of the greatest natural hitters in today's game — only one of the smartest.

Golfers Trim Alma, Socked By Albion, Rout Muskegon JC Team Albion's topflight golfers took the measure, 12-M, in Hope's first M.I.A.A. encounter. Behind the sharp driving of Nichols who shot a one under par 71 they made Hope's opening match a losing one. Dick Kruizenga shot a low 70 but the Albion golfers outclassed the Hope men.
