The following gives a brief synopsis of the story of "Amahl and the N i g h t Visitors." Somewhere in the world lives a little crippled shepherd called Amahl, with his mother, an impoverished widow. Nothing is left to them of the little they ever had, and they are now faced with hunger and cold in their empty house. Three Wise Men, on their way to Bethlehem, stopped at the hut and ask to be taken in for the night. Amahl and his mother welcome them as well as they can, and are much astonished a t the splendor of their robes and the wealth of g i f t s they are carrying with them.
Touched by their word, the poor widow not only gives back the stolen gold, but wishes she could add a g i f t of her own. Little Amahl comes to her rescue. He impulsively hands to the Three Kings his wooden crutch, his most precious posession which he himself made, and in doing so he is miraculously cured of his lameness. As dawn a p p e a r s in the sky, the Three Kings make ready to

THE T H R E E KINGS resume their journey. Amahl begs his mother to let him join them, and he is finally allowed to follow the Kings to Bethlehem to adore and give thanks to the Christ Child. •

Concert by Elsie Law Internationally acclaimed as one of the most outstanding of the younger concert violinists, Mr. Aaron Rosand gave his recital a t 8:00 p.m., December 10, 1959 a t the Holland Civic Center under the auspices of the Holand Civic Music Association. Mr. Rosand was bom in Hammond, Indiana; and received his musical training under the guidance of Leon Sametivi, and at the Curtis Institute under E f ram Zimbalist. He has appeared throughout the United States in recitals and as guest soloist with m a j o r orchestras under such conductors as Thor Johnson, William Steinberg, E f r e m Kurtz, Alexander Hilsberg, Walter Hendl, Fabien Sevitzky and Thomas Scherman. Mr. Rosand has also performed in the leading cities of Europe and the Orient, and returned to the United States this season for an extensive concert tour. The pieces which were played by him in this recital were: Ernest Bloch's "Sonata"; Giuseppe Tartini's "Sonata in G Minor"; Claude Debussy's "La plus que lente"; George Gershwin-Heifetz's " I t Ain't Necessarily So"; Valle-Heifetz's "Ao Pe da Foguiera"; Karol Szymanowski's "Chant de Roxanne"; Jean Sibelius's "Humoresque 11"; P e t e r I.

Announce Chonges To Occur For 1960 College Sing Plans are underway for the All-College Sing to be held on March 12, 1960 in the Civic Center. Working from a recommendation made by a 1959 Sing evaluation committee and recently passed by the Student Council, this year's planning committee is considering several changes. In 1959, an experimental year, the Sing, a program given by the sororities and fraternities in the presentation of a song, was held on a non-competitive basis. Also 100% membership attendance was required f o r each organization f o r participation. The All College Sing will, as in past years, be competitive in 1960. The rehearsal period however, will be two months, rather than the two weeks in previous years. It is hoped t h a t this will eliminate some of the strain of

last minute rehearsal, as each society will regulate its own practice time. Toward the end of the two month practice period the campus facilities will be scheduled so t h a t all of the societies will have an equal opportunity to put on the finishing touches. In place of the 100% required attendance will be a 75% required attendance within each society. Each society will soon choose the director and accompanist and will have until the first week a f t e r vacation to choose a song. From t h a t time, until March 12 will be the rehearsal period. Serving as general chairmen f o r this annual event are Wally Van Buren and Adina Yonan. Mr. Roger Rietberg is the faculty advisor.

Biology Majors Doing Individual Research by Bob Marshall This past summer, and a t the present time, some students of the Hope College biology department have been engaged in "special problems" work. This method, often used in the sciences to augment the classroom learning, presents a situation in which the student is involved in practical application of his previous knowledge. \ /
This entailed making microscopic sections of the animal's organs, a process in which it is necessary to dissect, fix, p a r a f fin imbed, section and stain the hundreds of specimens used. Paul's total work f o r the summ e r resulted in over four hundred microscopic slides.
• Robert S. Marshall, a senior, was engaged during June, July and August in the research, "Effects of Mammalian Hormones on Protozoa." His project was supervised by Dr. Phillip Crook.

"Small and beautiful, it was much like any wedding we would have in a West Casco church with the bride wearing a white wedding gown. But the reception was quite different — she changed into a kimono and we all had a large dinner accompanied by speeches. These were made by people at the request of the groom.
Imagine my surprise to have to speak! And the thing t h a t made it worse was t h a t it was translated so t h a t everyone could understand it!" *

The Marxist Experiment" IRC Semester Topic
"The Marxist Experiment" is the topic f o r the International Relations Club this semester. It entails an inquiry into the nature of the Communist System by the examination of social, political, economic, and cultural adjustments in various Iron Curtain countries. In connection with this general theme, on September 30 the film "The Face of Red China," was presented to all interested students and members of the community. At the meeting of October 21, Dr. Zsiros, a new member of the Hope College faculty, spoke largely f r o m his own experience, on "ChurchState Relations Behind the Iron Curtain." Perhaps the main event of the semester will occur on Nov. 7 when Hope is host to the Western Michigan Conference of International R e l a t i o n s Clubs. Delegations of I.R.C.
members f r o m organizations located in all p a r t s of Western Michigan will attend a full day's conference here. The main speaker will be Michigan's Representative to the United States Congress, Gerald R. Ford. During the remainder of the semester programs on such topics as "Soviet Patronage of the Arts", Russian Relations with Underdevoped Nations", a n d "Marxist Ideology", have been planned. The International Relations Club is under the leadership of Ron Chandler, its president; and its faculty advisor. Dr. Paul Fried. Other officers include Vice President, Betty Vicha; Treasurer, James MacDowell; Secretary, Justine Dakin; and Historian, Sylvia Fisher.

A Christmas Meditation
Eliot's Play Penetrates into Question Of Momentous Spiritual Significance
It is not really any easier to keep the t r r e meaning of Christmas here, on the campus of a church-related college in a churchrelated town, than it would be in the most hard-bitten of Madison Avenue advertising circles. Too often we lose sight of that f a c t ; we are so busy decrying t h ^ w o r d l y commercialism around us that Christmas is gone before we have any time to pay any attention to the "real values" we have been so nobly defending. How often is not the light of Christian witness we suppose ourselves to be spreading around us — how often is that not really the beam in our eye that keeps us from seeing clearly whatever motes may be in our brothers' eyes? It is time to turn inward, far inward, f a r past merely congratulating ourselves for being Islands of Truth in a Sea of Error, for being Calvinist, agnostic, conformist, rebel, past all our petty ways of evading God, the niggardly little self-things that are an ever-present help in time of trouble . . . Until in all the universe there is left only i and God, and in God, and in a manger a thousand and a thousand years ago, and in i, the Christ. —J.M.

Editor's Note: Since Mr. J a a r sma and Mr. Michmerhuizen both appear in "Murder In the Cathedral," Mr. Stuart Wilson is reviewing the play a s a guest columnist for t h e ANCHOR. Thomas S t e a m s Eliot's poetic drama, Murder in the Cathedral is an inquiry into the Christian ideal of righteousness before God and Man. Archbishop Thomas B e c k e t asks: "Can sinful pride be driven out/Only by more sinful ? Can I neither act nor suffer without perdition?" This is the drama's central question and f r o m this point, the author sets out to discover an answer — an escape between the horns of this perplexing Christian dilemna. Eliot maintains that the answer is clear in Becket's martyrdom. When the house lights went up a f t e r the final scene, I was left with a feeling of bewilderment which almost precluded applause.
Friendships are characterized by gulped conversations over tense coflfee. No one has time to make a real effort to express himself coherently and worse yet, no one has the time to try to really listen. There is no time. The machine goes on grinding out minds.
This is a tribute to the moving and, with few exceptions, sensitive interpretation of the play by the P&M cast.
It's just a means of self expression — a psychological outlet, a mechanical device to blow off steam. Why be a human being when it's so much easier to be an automaton that uses coffee and cigarettes instead of grease and oil. And don't forget to charge the battery on "friendship" once in a while. Everyone has had so much to say about the ticket machines in the chapel. Could it be that our real complaint is that those machines are a picture of ourselves, almost a reflection of our way of life here? Just as the monitors guard the ticket machines so we are guarded by watching sentinels — the administration. Someone pulls down the lever and out comes an assignment, well typed, and it's too bad if the lever gets stuck and the mechanism gets messed up because then you don't get any credit. Oh, and hope that the right number is on that ticket. Anyone who saw R.U.R. or anyone who has ever read Brave New World or 1984, can readily see the implications on this clickclick sort of life — the opportunity it presents to become an automatic nincompoop instead of a human one. Maybe it's just that a much needed vacation is in the offing. Maybe we'll have a new outlook on life in the New Year. Christmas holidays do things to people. Robots don't sing carols and give presents and worship God — a t least they never did. Robert Frost says that there is something that doesn't like a wall. Maybe that same something doesn't like robots either. Let's hope so! —J. T.

Donna Davis and B. J. Berghorst appeared on the P&M boards for the first time and both demonstrated a b i l i t i e s which give g r e a t promise of f u r t h e r success in forthcoming productions. They have their work cut out as it will be difficult f o r them to transcend Friday night's performances. I might mention two other new personalities. J a m e s Mich-

Eliot's play is meant to be more than an evening's entertainment. It is a penetrating inquiry into one of the fundamental Christian ideals, asking a question of momentous spiritual significance. The perfect blend of Eliot's powerful poetry and sensitive interpretations by the cast did prove to be more than entertainment. It was a spiritual experience — not offering a final answer, but vividly raising the often neglected question of pride and righteousness.
I cannot agree with him.
This is a mechanized society and college is like a learning machine, an "educated people" factory. Thoughts are crammed in our heads and packed down with heavy, rapid hammer strokes. Everything is doled out.
People make a superficial attempt at socializing but it's hard going. It isn't unusual to see three or maybe four people sitting in a group, all talking at the same time.. No one hears anyone else, no one really wants to hear anyone else.
which were filled with terrifying imagery, despair, and, finally, affirmation and hope. The women were especially effective in creating the atmosphere which gives the actual murder scene its great impact and in their rendering of the gory imagery and tone of utter wretchedness found in the lines spoken during the killing. •
The auditorium's atmosphere was electrically charged with the significance of the inner d r a m a o f t h e Archbishop's death and the few seconds of silence spoke more eloquently of the performance's impact on the audience t h a n the applause which followed. In fact, the applause seemed almost incongruous. Outstanding p e r f o r m a n c e s were delivered by student actors and actresses familiar to Little Theatre audiences. Cal Vande Woude, in the role of Becket, more than successfully met the challenge of the Archbishop's spiritual turmoil and final affirmation. Of special note was the delivery of the Christmas sermon to the Canterbury Women which serves as an Interlude a n d transition between the two p a r t s of the play. Arlene Cizek, Ruth Vander Meulen and Carol Buitendorp deserve commendation f o r their roles as three of the chorus of Canterbury Women.

Meaning Of Opus by Ray Ritsema
Opus. J u s t w h a t does the word mean? Webster defines "opus" as "a literary or artistic work of importance; one's greatest work." Hope College's Opus, a booklet of approximately 65 pages, contains just this. Each year the students of the college enter their best works of poetry, music, short stories, art, or photography in the Opus. Faculty contributions also make up a part of the Opus. In previous years the Opus contained a faculty feature. Last year it was written on Art by Miss Wood. Works are received for the Opus by contributions that are dropped in Opus boxes placed around the campus. Student assignments, such as English themes, which are considered to be good writings by the class professors are also turned in to the Opus. What is the purpose of Opus? It shows the students of the college the creative ability of their fellow-classmates and professors. The booklet also gives students an incentive to write their works f o r public printing.
leave of absence. This was spent at Oberlin College, where he was enrolled in the Graduate School of Theology. While there Rev. Ponstein earned his Master's degree in Sacred Theology and New Testament. Previously, he had received his A.B. f r o m Hope and his B.D. from Western Theological Seminary. Oberlin College, which is an independent school located some twenty-five miles from Cleveland, Ohio, is generally considered by experts to be the topranking college, academically, in the nation. This institution, with a student enrollment of about 2,300, ranked first in the same poll of small colleges which rated Hope tenth in the nation. "It is a very highly selective school. You must be in the top ten per cent of your graduating class to be considered f o r admission," stated Mr. Ponstein. "There are no fraternities and sororities. There is a terrific emphasis on scholarship." Mr. Ponstein has been on the faculty of Hope College since his graduation f r o m Western Theological Seminary in 1952. However, before his enrollment at Hope College in 1946, he spent five years as a traveling salesman, six years in the wholesale sea food business, and four years in the Army. He also taught f o r a year at the secondary school level between his college and seminarv days.

Letter to the Editor
Changing Campus Attitudes Today, Hope College is a dynamic, alive, and expanding institution, that can have a wonderful f u t u r e . However, thisV f u t u r e is largely dependant u p ^ on the attitude of the students, Recently, there has been a r a t h ^ forboding change of attitude in many students, the cause of which is easily traced. First of all, a f t e r many years of being considered young men and women, Hope students have now regressed to such a s t a t e of childishness t h a t we no longer even know how to dress properly. Suddenly, our manner of dress has become so inappropriate t h a t the administration h a s had to set down rules to govern our attire. During the p a s t two years, Homecoming has been supplemented by an academic home-
Y's Word
"A Summer Challenge" by Don Gallo During the Christmas vacation, in the midst of the snows and cold winds of winter, many of us will begin to formulate plans f o r this coming summer. Here is the announcement of an opportunity to have a unique summer experience — one in which you as a student will have an unlimited opportunity to grow intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually. You will r e t u r n to school in the fall not rich financially but your entire life will show forth the richness of your summer experience. Swell. So it's an overglorified picture. We w a n t summer jobs t h a t will bring us pockets full of money. Well, this article is written f o r those few students who realize there are some values more important and more rewarding than "the good old American dollar." And for those who a r e willing to accept t h e challenge there are many places to go and many jobs to fill. There is a U S S R Student Exchange, camp counselor jobs in YWCA camps in Europe, Latin America, and t h e Middle E a s t ; and various types of mission work within our own Reformed Church.
coming, which now, due to a "misinterpretation" of the Homecoming tradition, is threatening to turn Homecoming into a.i educational conference weekend. Now, the traditional f r a t e r nity initiation seems to have suddenly become dangerous and outmoded, and is being carefully supervised and partially eliminated by the administration. This insulting and child-like t r e a t m e n t contains f r i g h t e n i n g prospects. If treated like children, the students have only two alternative. They can behave like children, or they can become lethargic and apathetic. E i t h e r reaction will result in a dimming of Hope's bright future. The main purpose of a college education is to teach the student how to think, not only academically, but also socially. If the student is not allowed to think for himself outside the classroom, how can he be expected to be able to think for himself inside the classroom? Our constructive and thoughtproducing have helped to make Hope what it is today. They have t a u g h t us to work together and be productive, and have given us incentive and spirit. Do we now have the right to "bite the hand t h a t has fed us," or should we be far-sighted and leave well enough alone? —Bruce A. Schurman
Since then only one member of t h e original cast has been replaced; the boy soprano, like all boy sopranos, eventually became a baritone. The present juvenile star, 13 year old Kirk Jordan, has been with the group since 1956 when he was personally selected for the role by Gian-Carlo Menotti, the composer of the opera. The group travels by private auto and carries its equipment in a trailer. They schedule their arival sufficiently early to allow rehearsal with the local orchestras and choruses. A f t e r leaving Holland, the cast will make several other midwest appearances, closing their tour in Detroit on December 23. The fact that Gian-Carlo Menotti should write a musical d r a m a centered about a crippled youngster who made a wish and got it, is no surprise, for the composer, himself rose out of similar circumstances. As a youth in the province of Lombardy, Italy, Menotti was confined to a wheelchair. His s t r o n g faith led him to pray for cure, and he perhaps made a promise to create something beautiful in return. His tender story of the lame boy and the Three Wise Men seems a logical payment for such fulfillment of his wish. *

»
"Amahl and the Night Visitors" is this story, placed in a musical setting and done in English. It is a simple and beautiful tale of a little crippled boy and his meeting with the Wise Men as they journeyed to Bethlehem to pay homage to the Christ-Child. Also on the program and thus maintaining a long-standing tradition in the community, selections from Handel's "Messiah" will be presented in addition to the colorfully staged opera. »
*
*
The special chorus which will present selections from Handel's "Messiah" is made up of approximately 200 voices. A smaller group will participate as the chorus in Menotti's opera. Forming a nucleus of both will be the Hope College Chapel Choir which, itself, has received national renown for its country-wide performances. The College Chancel Choir makes up the remainder of this large chorus. The entire group will sing the Christmas selections from the "Messiah." A smaller group of selected voices will perform in the opera. »
*
*
The opera " A m a h l " and portions of the "Messiah" will be presented at the Holland Civic Center on Monday evening December 14. The Civic Conter, r a t h e r than Dimnent Chapel, provides the necessary facilities f o r staging and the auditorium will more adequately accommodate the large crowd expected to be attracted by the unusual program. Tickets are now on sale.
Traditions Behind Decorating For The tradition of decorating the home f o r Christmas is older than science itself, in fact. Today's brightly ornamented trees, the be-ribboned wreaths in windows, the swatch of greenery and pine cones on the door — all have their origin in the legend relating how the plants, trees and shrubs miraculously burst into bloom on t h e December night when Christ was b o m in Bethlehem. Since wreaths were an early symbol of victory and glory, their adaptation to the Christmas festival early in the Christian era w a s a n a t u r a l one. I t was natural, too, to make use of holly which in p a g a n days was thought to afford protection from witches, thunder and
lightning, and evergreen whose constant verdancy was a symbol of immortality. The Christmas tree is of relatively late origin, it was noted, dating f r o m Germany in the sixteenth century, although its derivation is t h o u g h t to be in the tree of paradise t h a t grew in the garden of Eden. German immigrants brought the custom to America and one legend relates t h a t homesick Hessian soldiers erected the f i r s t Christmas tree in this count r y during the Revolutionary war. President Franklin Pierce helped spread the custom in the ISSO's by having a Chrstmas t r e e set up in the White House.
The custom of kissing under the mistletoe—which is also an e v e r g r e e n shrub—arose centuries ago from the rule in many countries that enemies became reconciled at C h r i s t m a s T, time. They would meet under the mistletoe branch, a symbol of fidelity, and swear friendship. In this fashion, the kissing custom of today developed. Christmas ornaments in America have come from all p a r t s of the world with each nationality importing its own. The earliest both here and abroad were simple, homemade things common to our agricultural p a s t — apples, oranges, nuts, popcorn balls and cranberry strings.

Talking about the possibilities f o r a championship Basketball Team, Coach Rus DeVette said, "The outlook is very uncertain because of the new and inexperienced players with whom we have to build the team," a t an interview, T h u r s day a f t e r the team lost their first g a m e Wednesday evening to Northern Michigan. Pointing out t h e m a j o r specific weakness on the team, the coach said, "Rebounding will be our biggest problem with a lack of overall h e i g h t and actually only one big man, Ray Ritsema, to do the work although f r e s h man, John Oosterbaan, is looking good on the boards also." In explaining the s t r o n g points of the t e a m DeVette pointed out, "The two men ret u r n i n g f r o m last year's s t a r t ing line-up, the good shooting of W a r r e n Vanderhill and Ritsema's shooting along with his
ability in rebounding and tipping." "The s t a r t i n g line-up is always subject to change and it is the decision of whether to use the smaller men in a f a s t break or to use the bigger men and play a slower g a m e which can only be determined as we gain experience," t h e coach commented in considering the s t a r t i n g lineup. With three f r e s h m e n in the varsity squad DeVette said, "We have potentially the best crop of f r e s h m e n since Ray and W a r r e n were f r e s h m e n , in the t h r e e men, John Oosterbaan, J i m Vanderhill and J i m Hulst." "It is the toughest schedule we have ever had and p u t t i n g an inexperienced t e a m a g a i n s t an experienced Calvin College Team so early in the season makes it even seem tougher," he said in commenting on the schedule f o r this season.

Defeat Hope 74-71
Intramurals
Begin Winter Sports With Basketball
by Doug Japinga The H o p e College Flying Dutchmen suffered a 74-71 loss a t the hands of t h e Northern Michigan Wildcats Wednesday before 2,000 f a n s a t the Civic Center in the opening basketball game f o r both clubs. The loss snapped Hope's 25game home floor victory string. The last team to defeat the Dutch before Northern was Calvin College. They pulled the trick with a 64-61 win Jan. 9, 1957 in the Civic Center. The Wildcats, expected to be one of the stronger teams in Michigan again this year and also defending NAIA state champions, made the difference in the tilt with accurate shooting, particularly in the second half. With 11:33 left in the game, t h e Wildcats, down by seven points, jelled and moved through the Hope defense f o r good shots and a minute later were within one point of the Dutch. Northern at 9:21 of the second canto tied the contest at 53-all for the lone tie of the half. From this point on, the Cats took command of the game enjoying an eight marker spread three times in the next five minutes. Hope's jump shot artist Warren Vander Hill cut the score with his baskets, b u t time ran out on Vander Hill and his teammates leaving the Dutch three tallies behind a t the sound of the final horn. Northern connected on 12 of 39 attempts from the floor in the first half and added a 55 per cent, 19 f o r 39 total in the

by Ed Ericson The Intramural basketball season opened Monday night, December 7, with a full card of " A " league games. The "B" league began its season later in the same week. " A " league is composed of six teams — the Knicks, Fraters, Cosmos, Emmies, Arkies, and Seminary. The five fraternities also enter teams in the "B" league, along with the Independents. " A " games are scheduled f o r Monday nights and "B" games for Wednesday nights. Games begin at 7:00, 8:00, and 9:00. In case of conflict with a Varsity home game the intramural schedule for t h a t evening will be played on Saturday morning. The season includes two rounds, one in each semester. Daryl Siedentop, Director of Intramural Athletics, stated that the referees would most likely be members of the varsity basketball team. The intramural men's winter sports program also includes handball and bowling. These tournaments will start around the beginning of the second semester. Only the five fraternities are entering teams in the handball tournaments this year. Each will enter two in the singles competition and one in the doubles tournament. These are single elimination tournaments, the winner needing two out of three in games of 21, in order to win the match. The bowling league consists of teams f r o m the five fraternities, the seminary and the independents. Each team, composed of five members, plays each other team once, giving each team six matches. Three points will compose a match, one for each of the two games, and one for total pins. After Hope's initial defeat the team went to Grand Rapids Wednesday night and upset Calvin 80-71. Photo—Vande Vusse second canto. The final tabulation showed the Cats hitting on 31 of 73 shots for an impressive game total of 42 per cent. The Dutch sank 13 of 42 attempts in the first half and 12 of 33 in the second stanza f o r a game percentage of 36. Collecting his first half points on the fast break and his second half markers from out court, Vander Hill ripped the cords for 11 baskets and six free throws for a grand total of 28 points to make him high man for the Orange and Blue. Ray Ritsema, the 6'5" Dutch center was the rebounding specialist f o r both clubs. He grabbed 17 defensive rebounds to spur the Dutchmen's f a s t break. The senior added three offensive rebounds, six baskets and six f r e e throws f o r 18 tallies. Junior Bill Vander Bilt led Hope with 10 offensive rebounds. With the lead changing hands three times along with five tie
ups, the first half was nip-andtuck with Hope putting on a late spurt to move out in front 35-29 at the horn. At the charity line, Hope made 17 out of 31 tosses while the visitors made 12 of 18. J o h n Oosterbaan and Jim Vander Hill, both freshmen, made their debuts in Hope College uniforms. Oosterbaan looked adequate in the rebounding department while Vander Hill deserves mention for his work on defense. Hope (71) FG FT W.

Four Hope Players Make MIAA Team George Peelen, Gene Van Dongen, Bill Hubriegtse and Jim Mohr were the four men Hope College placed on the 21player, 1959, all-MIAA football team.
Huibregtse, f r o m Sheboygan, Wisconsin, played his freshman
football f o r the University of Wisconsin and in the second semester of his freshman year, transferred to Hope. He has since been a regular on the football team. Jim Mohr played his high school football at Hudsonville, Michigan, and was an all-conference selection. All four men are completing their last year of academic study a t Hope. Bill "the toe" Huibregtse and quarterback Jim Northrup of Alma College were the only unanimous choices by the coaches of the respective MIAA teams. Hope also received four honorable mentions. Bike Blough, of Caledonia, was named as offensive tackle while Duane Voskuil, Senior from Hammond, Wisconsin; and J e r r y Hendrickson, Senior f r o m Grand Rapids, •> as offensive halfwere selected backs and Van Dongen as a linebacker.
