Overheard
Things That Ought to Be T h e r e is a definite need on our c a m p u s lor certain changes. The Anchor staff discussed these needs this week and drew up an Anchor p l a t f o r m which we hope to see realized with the combined efforts of t h e Student Council, the faculty and the a d m i n i s t r a t i o n . F r o m the first of the year, our t r a n s c e n d a n t aim h a s been, to foster a more unified college spirit. We are intensely serious about p u t t i n g the aim of education above all other «tudent interests. It is the p r i m a r y responsibility of all of us to encourage a g r o w i n g loyalty to Hope college. .. Today's editorial deals with The Anchor's views on the f r e s h m a n green. This problem should be met by the Student Council before the year is out. The plain fact is that the old tradition is f a s t failing. If we a r e to save the tradition, and .we should, we must change the method. Third in our p l a t f o r m is the honor system. Cheating on research p a p e r s and on tests is still without much check. T h e r e a r e other problems, such as surprise tests, late announcements of term paper dates and the m a n n e r in which certain p a p e r s and tests are graded. Here is definite need for the Student Council to approach the faculty, for they will have to work together on these problems, in cooperative efforts to remedy these and other problems. In regard to the f o u r t h point, we as Hope s t u d e n t s need to look to our m a n n e r s and our conduct. Though we may be on:of the best dressed college g r o u p s in the state, we are not the l e s t mannered. Even outsiders have noticed this lack, li is something to which we should look. We all feel intensely the need for a more a d e q u a t e social p r o g r a m for us, as Hope students. Much thought will have to be put on this pressing problem, but it can be- worked out in time. As in the past. The Anchor shall continue to comment upon national and international affairs. We will s t a n d unequivocably for peace and military non-intervention, believing this policy the best way to preserve our f u n d a m e n t a l liberties, foi which the word "democracv" stands.

Last T h u r s d a y many a dusty corner in f r e s h m e n rooms received a cleaning in o r d e r t h a t frosh might find the green which they have not been w e a r i n g for the past few months. | And again upperclassmen are w o n d e r i n g if it would not be better to do a w a y with the traditional pots, tarns, and ties. On other campuses these a r e m a r k s of distinction worn because the f r e s h m e n want to wear them but on Hope's campus the " w e a l i n g of the g r e e n " has become a tradition at which newly sophisticated freshmen scoff. Because of the s c o f f i n g we believe it would be well to do a w a y with the green. There remains, however, the problem of tradition. We have, f o r the first time this year, abandoned the f r e s h m a n trials feeling t h a t t h e i r place has been usurped by the Nykerk Cup contest. We believe t h a t this is a symbol of an increasingly serious a t t i t u d e on the p a r t of college students. But we do not w a n t to kill t h e small college flavor which makes Hope a pleasant m e m o r y to its alumni. T h e r e f o r e , we suggest that the S t u d e n t Council seriously consider the idea of doing a w a y with the outmoded g r e e r and replacing it with pots and roller-type gabarc ine hats m a d e up in colors which the f r e s h m e n should choose as t h e i r class colors, or in the traditional blue a n d orange. In this way t h e green, which has become a t h i n g at which all f r e s h m e n laugh, would become a m a r k of honor and distinction. The f r e s h m e n would still be able to be distinguished in the first m a d rush of college days and tradition would still be t r a d i t i o n . Rose Teninga

Athletic Board Awards Letters To Footballers
By Dick Hanson T h e c r y in t h e Hope College basketball camp is " b e a t A l m a and Albion." T h e Dutch have t h e i r hats s e t f o r t h e t i t l e t h i s year b u t both t h e Scots and t h e Britons will be t h e main obstacles to overcome, according to t h e pre-season dope bucket. Whoever t h e w i n n e r is— Alma, Albion or H o p e — t h e y will drop two g a m e s in t h e course of the season, a t least, t h a t ' s w h a t t h e exp e r t s say. Coach Gordon MacOonald's squad, which h a s n ' t won a game f i o m a m a j o r MIAA school in the l a s t two years, a r e s t r o n g contenders this year. A s t r o n g sophomore a g g r e gation headed by T i n k e r Kirby will be the spearhead of the A l m a attack. A1 McCuaig and Bud Howe, f o r m e r all-state p l a y e r s f r o m Alma High, will also bear w a t c h i n g although neither played on the f r e s h m a n squad last season. The highly-touted Albion q u i n t e t lost only one m a n f r o m last y e a r ' s o a t f i t which dropped the title to Kazoo by one point in the MIAA playoffs. Headed by Captain Dick F e d u a n k and with t h e addition of E d Vander Lind, all-state c e n t e r f r o m Muskegon, in the line-up, the Britons will p r e s e n t the same vete r a n s of 1938. Albion will be hard to reckon with this year. Kalamazoo is the d a r k horse of the conference as last y e a r ' s championship team w a s riddled by g r a d u a t i o n . Danny Wood will be t h e H o r n e t s key man, but one m a n can't win all the g a m e s . We pick Olivet or Hillsdale nevt—both have r a t h e r mediocre cntfits. Adrian's Bulldogs should ag ain hold down the cellar position. T h a t ' s the way t h e d o p e s t e r s have the MIAA basketball race picked—A close race between Alma. Albion, and Hope f o r t h e championship and with Kazoo, Hillsdale. Olivet ending in t h a t order.
