Editor's Notes Dear E d i t o r : An obscure sentence in the middle of a f o u r t h - p a g e article of the last ANCHOR informe us t h a t the divine right of queens is superseded by faculty rulings. The principle of student democracy h a s never been involved as we had no choice in selecting our rulers — queen or faculty rulers. Yet 1 am inclined to r e g r e t the decision made by ;he faculty. May Day has always been a social event of prominence on our campus. Highlighting the day has been the selecting of the queen and her court followed by the traditional banquet. The speculation and suspense preceding this royal affair has contributed immensely to the success of May Day. The recent f a c u l t y decision to do a w a y (not in the Nazi sense) with queens det r a c t s from the color of the spring affair. May Day becomes an event of secondary importance. F r o m a practical standpoint the
faculty decision is also deplorable, in my estimation.
Both men and
women's sports have received wide publicity in local and nearby lewspapers.

this is
'ost thp sport p r o g r a m will simply be an intramural a f f a i r and hardly worthy of more t h a n local a t t e n tion. Although we cannot e s t i m a t e the benefit of publicity to the college, we do know that this is a serious loss of prestige f o r our school. The reason given for the faculty ruling, namely t h a t is causes hard feelings is probably legitimate. I believe t h a t if t h e queen were elected by student vote f r o m a slate of eligible candidates submitted by the faculty, this objection would be removed. The decision m a d e is one of retrogression and I believe it should be reconsidered. J . W.

As I See It It is the Question " W h a t A r e we Fighting For?" By J e a n n e Horton Within three y e a r s public opinion in the U n i t e d S t a t e s has changed f r o m a position of neutrality to open s u p p o r t for the allied cause. From maintenance of a neutrality law, which made no distinction between a g r e s s o r and victim, public opinion h a s moved to overwhelming favor of a LendLease Act providing seven billion dollars worth of "'material to the Allies. The desire on the p a r t of the public to d e f e a t the Axis powers is indicated by the Gallup Poll in which fifty-five per cent of the people are now willing t h a t the American navy convoy goods to Britain, in spite of the fact t h a t they know fully well t h a t convoys mean shooting and shooting means war. In the s a m e poll sixty-one per cent f a v o r the occupation of Iceland, and t h r e e - f o u r t h s of the people would go to war, if it were necessary, to defeat Hitler. 1 believe t h a t this change in public opinion has resulted from an increasing realization on the part of the American people of the m e a n i n g of the present world conflict to our own existence. Ten y e a r s ago, m a n y people scoffed at the idea of " m a k i n g the world s a f e for democracy." But now democracy has a ga i n become something worth fighting for and preserving. The conviction has become evident t h a t the world cannot live half t o t a l i t a r i a n and half democratic. Democracy is fundamental to the American way of life, so much so that, to imperil it means to e n d a n g e r American security. According to Edouard Benes, exp r e m i e r of Czechoslovakia, the answer to the much-discussed question, " W h a t Are We F i g h t i n g F o r ? " , resolves itself into four f u n d a m e n t a l considerations: to prevent continental E u r o p e and Great Britain f r o m being dominated by
Nazi G e r m a n y ; to prevent Hitler from extending such domination to t h e western hemisphere; to liberate f r o m their present oppression Holland, B e l g i u m , F r a n c e , Greece, Yugoslavia, and Italy, all of which have been s u b j u g a t e d by r u t h l e s s and barbaric d i c t a t o r s h i p ; and finally, to preserve the democratic and Christian concept of the dignity and worth of individual man. The basic principles implanted in the modern world a f t e r the w a r of 1914-1!)18 and imbedded in the League of Nations, h a v e been r u t h lessly and dishonorably t r a m p l e d under foot by Nazi theories and practices. First, the citizen's human and individual personality, his freedom of thought, belief and religion, and his adherence to national l a n g u a g e and cultural ties hav'e been completely denied by the Nazi regime. In t h e i r place is a system of mass enslavement and oppression. The divine Christian concept of the value and t r i u m p h of t r u t h , honor, and justice has been abandoned for a terrible, unheard of phenomenon of declaring lies, deception, crime and t r e a c h e r y to be the official ethics of a whole s t a t e . These political principles, the most immoral t h a t the world has ever known, a s y s t e m t h a t h a s no c o u n t e r p a r t in history, would become the so-called " N e w O r d e r , " to bo established in Europe in the event of a German victory. These then are the reasons f o r the c h a n g e in American public opinion — the reasons why we a r e at w a r : — to uphold the freedom of man and to preserve the security of nations.

Dear Coach:
•
And this next highlight I have orders to write long! It's because it's new and progressive — and it's sponsored by WAA. It's a class in g y m n a s i u m teaching — theory, advising athletics, and administering first aid. It's strictly for junior and senior f e m m e s , and meets for the first time today at three. (In case you're practiceteaching this semester, — note: it'll be available next semester, too.) J a c k ' s teaching it, and announces T H A T No recommendation as a gym instructor will be given to any girl who h a s n ' t taken the course, and no credit hours will be given for it.
Oh, yes! (iirls' s p o r t s I L e m m e ;ee . . . Two highl i g h t s of t h e . v e e k : first, the MIAA Play Day )f last S a t u r d a y , and second, the WAA sponsored gym methods class under Jack Schouten.

No team can be called g r e a t unless it has the ability to l i f t its g a m e to the highest pitch for the crucial games. Coach H i n g a ' s men passed this test with flying colors a s they not only stopped a vicious Alma team but actually pushed them over the various p a r t s of t h e field. Repeat p e r f o r m a n c e s will lead this columnist to bestow t h e highest possible compliment to the t e a m ; t h a t of being called "GREAT." Celebrity will come to Holland F r i d a y in the person of " P o t s y " Clark, nationally known coach of Grand Rapids U.'s Lancers. A m o n g other things, he'll b r i n g with him a team whose f o r w a r d wall a v e r a g e s 190 lbs. and who f o r the first time t h i s year will have the services of their s t a r little q u a r t e r b a c k , a guy n a m e d Barrows. Injured e a r l y in the Alma g a m e , he should prove to be the s p a r k of the t e a m . In other words, Capt. T a p p a n and Co. a r e in for a s t r e n u o u s w o r k out, come F r i d a y night. Moreover, unless T a p p a n ' s cohorts keep t h e i r noses out of other people's business, Mr. Clark might travel home with a victory safely tucked away in his hip pocket. No f e w e r than t h r e e Hope footballers, Hakken, Higgs, and Rothi have suffered a b r e a k i n g of that which smells. Nosey people on Hope's c a m p u s ? I never would have thunk it! Besides enjoying a thrilling ball g a m e F r i d a y night, the crowd will also get a big kick out of Clark's sideshow. Reason: " P o t s y " has an eccentric habit of s t a m p i n g up and down the sidelines between trips to the w a t e r bucket! Hope's brilliant play against Alma has led to much speculation. F o r i n s t a n c e : One doesn't have to s t r e t c h his imagination too much to see a tie for the football championship, with Hope involved. Then, a first or second in basketball, a strong second in tennis, at least a show in track and golf, and into view pops the All-MIAA S p o r t s t r o p h y ! Well! "I can dream can't I ? "
