District Music Contest Here Tomorrow

by Beverly Joeckel

Hope College will be one of three

schools in Holland to lend its facili-

ties fo r the annual district contest

of high school musicians this Sat-

urday, January 31.

Each year music students f rom

Michigan assemble by districts to

be rated by professional musicians

and college professors according to

ability and talent. Each competi-

tor receives, on the basis of an

eight minute recital, a numerical

rat ing f rom superior 1 to 5. All

those earning first place in the

district contest are then eligible to

vie f o r the same honor in the s ta te

contest, held in mid-April.

Over 1000 students will be per-forming in either Holland Christian High School, Holland High School, or the college. Students are in-vited to at tend the piano recitals to be given in the chapel, or the two s t r ing sections occupying rooms in the music building.

Women Transfers High At Semesters End

A poll compiled f rom informa-tion taken from Durfee and Voor-hees Halls revealed last week tha t there were twenty-one girls intend-ing to leave the dormitories a t semester 's end.

The t r ans fe r s gave three main reasons fo r their action: mar r iage or other work, nurses t raining, and a desire fo r courses Hope does not carry in her curriculum.

Heaviest-hit by the count, which does not include any f reshman transfers , is the Sophomore class.

Some of the answers given run as follows: Eunice Bernson: "I 'm get t ing married and work while my husband finishes Michigan U." Car-ol Van Ramshors t : "I 'm going into nursese t ra ining a t Evanston." Jo-di DeGroot: "I have a good job all lined up in town at Holland Fur-nace and there isn't any reason fo r me to stay."

Danforth Grants Given Five Profs. Five Hope College professors have been named by the

Faculty Summer Grants Committee as recipients of Danforth Foundation Grants according to Dr. John Hollenbach, secre-tary of the Committee. Dr. Philip Crook, associate professor of biology, Ezra Gearhart, associate professor of German, Dr. Paul Nyberg, instructor in sociology. Dr. Robert De Haan, professor of psychology, and Mr. Anthony Kooiker, as-sociate professor of music received the Danforth awards, de-signed to enable them to pursue summer research programs.

Dr. Crook will use his $750 award to do research in his Hope College laboratory on the biochemical site of action of hormones in Parame-cium and Tetrahymena. This is a continuation of a research pro-ject begun under three grants , two government and one private. Some time will also be spent on prepar-ation of a bacteriology laboratory manual.

School Drive February 23-28

Annville Inst i tute located in Jackson County, Annville, Ken-tucky, has been chosen to be the receipent of the funds raised in the all-school drive for this year, Feb. 23-27.

Annville Inst i tute receives its support f rom the Reformed Church in America and is administered by its Board of Domestic Missions. The money is going to be used to purchase books fo r their l ibrary which is in need of classics and other good books.

The curriculum at Annville pro-vides college prepara tory courses; vocational t ra ining in Home Eco-nomics fo r girls, and Farm and Shop for boys, which is followed by practical work in the kitchen, laundry and dormitories, and on the fa rm and in shop. The students are taught vocations which will make a contribution to life in the mountains.

The students also receive an ed-ucation in Christian living. Re-ligious t ra ining and observance is par t of school on week days as well as Sunday. Some teach in outlying Sunday schools, and older students take courses prepar ing them for religious leadership.

The date for the drive has been set for February 23-28. The gen-eral chairmen are : Chuck Hesselink and Shirley Meiste. The chairmen of the other committees are : Pub-licity—Emily Hradec, Fred Brown; Chapel programs—Sandy Postema, John Wiers; Paper programs— Sharon Neste, Vern Hoffs; ' Solict-ing—Mel Van Hat tem, Dorene Torenga; "Y" Night program—Don Gallo, Barbara Geitner; and Re-porting—Jim De Witte.

Definite Plans For Vienna Summer School Released

by Jim Vanderlind Summer School in Vienna, Aus-

tria, will once again be sponsored by Hope College this coming sum-mer. Dr. Paul Fried, who is the director of the entire program, re-cently announced definite plans.

Fried already has about twenty-five reservations and hopes to come close to doubling tha t figure f o r the sixty-five day European trip. If this is the result, it will be the largest group ever to make the educational tour of Europe f rom Hope. The grea tes t number of the s tudents making the tr ip are f rom Hope, but there a re also some f rom Calvin College and other MIAA institutions.

The depar ture date has been set a t June 6, f rom New York on a Dutch student ship. The group will arr ive in Le Havre, France, June 14, on which date the guided twenty-day study tour begins. This study tour will bring the students through such countries as France, Germany, The Netherlands, and Luxembourg.

On July 3, the academic par t of the program will begin. The stu-dents will be studying German, drama, history, l i terature , and mu-sic courses at the University of Vienna fo r approximately six weeks. Midway through this six week period, all s tudents will take a guided week-end tour to the beautiful region of Salzburg, Aus-tria.

Following the academic portion of the European excursion, the stu-dents will be on their own for seventeen days of independent travel wherever they wish to go. On August 31, the independent travel period draws to a close and the students are to meet in Rot-terdam fo r their departure. The arrival date will be September 9, in New York.

"Other college personnel making the tr ip will be the Dean of Stu-dents, Mr. and Mrs. Milton Hinga, and the Chairman of the Depart-ment of German, Mr. E. Gearhart and his wife and children.

Another $750 grant, presented to Mr. Ezra Gearhart , will enable him to spend four weeks at the Univer-sity of Munich, at tending lectures on contemporary German litera-ture, the area of his doctoral dis-sertation, and also one of the courses he is teaching. An addi-tional six to eight week period will be spent in conjunction with the German author, Rolf Italiander, adapt ing one of his novels for use in second year German classes.

Dr. Nyberg, whose award was $750, will spend most of three months in a German university in-vest igating recent thinking in Ger-man sociology, with part icular con-cern fo r the influence of Dilthey's philosophy upon the character of the human sciences.

A $500 award was presented to Dr. De Haan who will devote a por-tion of his summer in research and writ ing at the University of Chi-cago and in Holland. The area of research is psychological theory. He will continue studies already begun to establish a general theo-retical basis for approaching prob-lems of scientific psychology, as viewed from the historic Christian assumptions about the nature of man.

Mr. Anthony Kooiker, who re-ceived a $500 grant , will devote the major portion of his summer a t the Sibley Music library. Univer-sity of Rochester, in research on Locke's Melothesia and its place in the history of keyboard music in Restoration England. This re-search, the topic of his doctoral dissertation, will involve reproduc-ing a modern transcription of the book, Melothesia, by photographic process.

The Danforth Foundation Grant to the college totals $10,000 and is to be used over a three year period. The grant expresses an increasing concern among industry and phil-anthropic organizations t ha t educa-tors continue in their growth as scholarly teachers.

MOVIE TOMORROW A film presentation of the

book "Magnificent Obsession," by Lloyd C. Douglas, will ap-pear on the Hope College camp-us on Saturday, January 31, sponsored b y t h e Woman's Activity League.

Scheduled to fill one of the free week-ends of the new sem-ester, the film will be shown at 8:00 p.m. in the Music Building auditorium. Admission has been set by the W.A.L. at fifty cents per person.

The World In Which We Live Statisticians, economists and sociologists are facing a s tar t l ing

situation today. They are facing a world of f r ightening problems, the greates t of which is the problem of population explosions. The world's 2.7 billion population, expected to double every 42 years, is rapidly approaching the maximum which the world can sustain. Japan ' s population is increasing by 1.8 million every year, India's by 5 million a year, and by 2000 A.D. one out of every 2 babies born in the world will be Chinese! In the United States the birth ra te is less than 25 per thousand.

The political implications of these figures are huge. Red China has been shouting too loudly for the West 's peace and quiet already. And the " jumping jack" movements of Russia in this crisis world re-mind one of the little boy who called "Wolf, wolf!" until the villagers stopped heeding the call. But the significance of these figures takes on an added dread in the light of some additional information.

Of the 100,000 people born in this world every 24 hours less than 10% are born in a Christian land. Tha t means tha t about 81,000 are born in non-Christian homes! The implications of this information for every Christian is a commanded duty, a duty incumbent on his realiza-tion of its importance, for at the bottom of some of this heterogeneous and fatalistic world's greatest problems is a non-Christian.

Nine million followers are won to Communism every year through personal witnessing. But the Christian, with whom we usually associate witnessing, lives in a world which has 76% of its population outside of Christ. And r ight here in the United States, in our own generation, 3 out of 4 children have had no church background. Strangely enough, it was not the churches who compiled these facts but an organization vitally interested in the cause of the high rate of juvenile delinquency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Washington, D.C.

These are figures of the last two years. Now it is 1959 A.D., in the year of our Lord. And yet the answer to the silent question, 'How many members of the governing bodies of our world, of the United Nations itself, of our leaders, of our neighbors, of the people we know and don't know are professing Christ ians? ' confirms the fac t tha t all too few people are personally acquainted with the Savior in whose year they are living.

Spare Time Anyone? Now that tha t strenuous week is over, we can relax — until we

s t a r t cramming for midterms, and finals in May. The lull tha t started Friday is a splendid time to do the reading tha t one would like to do throughout the year, but just cannot get to. We have around us, in the public library, Hope's library, and the Blue Key Bookstore, literally hundreds of good, new books, waiting to be read.

In our library fo r example, more than 300 new books were added between the middle of October and the first of December. The public library has a good, though small, collection of recent novels, biogra-phies, etc. Our bookstore, since expanding this past summer, has added many long-needed specials — books other than texts — to say nothing of an enlarged accumulation of Modern Library College editions and Harper ' s Classics. Some outstanding Blue Key books include: Pas-sionate Skeptic, a biography of Bertrand Russel by Alan Wood; The Organization Man by William H. Whyte; America As a Civilization, Max Lerner; the year old The New Class by imprisoned Milovan Djilas; and Educating Gifted Children by Hope's Dr. Robert DeHaan. Car-toonist Charles Adams has two: Monster Rally and Nightcrawlers. Sadly lacking however: Charles M. Schulz's Peanuts, More Peanuts, Snoopy, though they're available on 8th Street.

One of the best Christmas presents still wait ing to be read is of course Boris Pas ternak 's noble Doctor Zhivago, two copies of which can sometimes be found in the Hope College library. Calvin College's very own Peter (Tunnel of Love) DeVries' latest . Mackerel Plaza is also there. Other Hope College library books of recent acquisition and outstanding significance, because of author, message, or sales, include: The Protes tant and Politics by William L. Miller; Changing Population of the United States, Conrad Taeuber; Frank Laubach's The World Is Learning Compassion; Higher Education in Transition by J. S. Bru-bacher; Changing Values in College by P. E. Jacob; Fred Basolo's Mechanisms of Inorganic Reactions; Plant Diseases Due to Bacteria by Walter Dowson; R. W. Bussard's Nuclear Rocket Propulsion; Music Education in High School by Joseph Leeder; The Story of the Olympic Games by J. Kieran; Lederer and Burdick's The Ugly American; Ed-mund Fuller 's Man in Modern Fiction; The Era of Theodore Roosevelt, 1900-1912 by G. E. Mowry; and M. F. Heath's Early Memories of Saugatuck, Michigan, 1830-1930.

With so much to be read, let us not hesitate fur ther . There's good reading ahead!

—W. G. K.

As an amateur observer of stu-dent life, I have been ra ther for-several important aspects of this tunate to witness and to interpret life. One of these is the supposed religious activity on our campus.

Looking about me a t the religi-ous life of most of our students, it seems obvious to me tha t when Friedrich Nietzsche said "God is dead," he must have been re fer r ing to the God which has disappeared f rom Hope College. In saying this, I am not refer r ing to those mem-bers of the student body who proudly deny the existence of God, but I allude to those students who were refer red to by J . James Hin-kamp when he wrote, "They shout, they are happy; they have the joy, joy, joy, and the peace tha t pass-eth understanding."

The average student actually gives little thought to God or even to Buddah or Allah, except to in-dulge in some monstrous web of a rguments confirming infra- or supralapsarianism and some like tidbits of unwieldy doctrine. Those tha t are a little shy in their theo-logy may possibly spend some time expounding the evils of dancing, but God—no, God is not mentioned, except by chance when his name happens to be wri t ten in some

Students Asked To Discuss Code Before Spring Vote

by Matie Fischer Is an Honor Code needed at Hope

College? This question is being discussed by a student group representing Hope's five f ra terni -ties and six sororities.

It has been fel t tha t an honor code could establish a better re-lationship between students and faculty. Such a relationship would help to elevate Hope's moral at-mosphere. Only when a bond of fa i th and t rus t exists between stu-dents and teachers will something deeper than mere academic know-ledge be acquired.

Presently, the group is studying honor codes and systems function-ing in other colleges and universi-ties. Because of the wide differences in codes, and the import of the committee's decision, careful study is being made of each available code.

Many questions must be faced. Shall a code cover only the aca-demic field, or all phases of student l ife? Should a student be asked to sign a pledge, or would a re-minder serve as a s trong enough indication of the students ' obliga-t ion?

In February, a week will be de-voted to a campus-wide discussion. All s tudents will then be asked to carefully consider all aspects of the code. In the spring, the student body will be asked to vote on ac-ceptance of a proposed code.

The Campus Intellectual by Jim Michmerhuizen

From the standpoint of musical performance, the Municipal Civic Center ( Jus t think, George! There's a stage a t one end fo r music and things, and a t the same time, they put some acoustic stuff on the whole ceiling so tha t it won't be noisy a t basketball games) of Hol-land, Michigan, is something I would not wish on my worst enemy, be he per former or listener.

The slightest fuzziness of attack, the slightest f au l t of any sort is magnified and made painfully ob-trusive where in a building such as Hope Chapel or the new Fourteenth Street Church auditorium — which acoustically, is probably the best auditorium in Holland — those

faul t s would be lost in the general reverberatory activity.

But, even if we consider the en-t ire Civic Center one gigantic Ex-tenuating Circumstance, the "con-cert" o f t l ^ N a t i o n a l Ar t i s t ' s

onett§/6n Tuesday the 20th re-mains virtually without excuse.

They played four movements f rom Handel's Water Music ob-viously to warm up on. Perhaps they should have played a few more; they were still warming up when they undertook Grieg's A minor piano concerto, during the course of which the presumably peaceful s tate of Grieg's tomb was undoubtedly made somewhat less by a double-bass fo r the opening tym-pani-roll.

Miss I turbi , though, did magnifi-cently. She was a t her best in the very loud portions, where she effec-tively drowned out the thir teen members of the symphonette.

Then a woodwind quintet played a suite by Jacques Ibert , with which I was not familiar . In the interest of veracity it must be said tha t the quintet having themselves jus t been introduced to Mr. Ibert, kept their proper distance and were not overly famil iar with his music.

Perhaps we have been spoiled by hearing most of our music on records a t least technically immac-ulate performances. Tuesday's con-cert certainly made me long fo r my 3 wa t t rumbling, wowing and humming record player.

Spice and Crumbs by Richard J . J aa r sma

prooftext which is used to prove tha t Jesus drank grape juice in-stead of wine a t his meals.

This is a hard thing to say and it would not surprise me to be jumped on mercilessly, and shown the er ror of my thinking, with prooftexts to match. You will prob-ably point a t our "Y" organiza-tions as being intense examples of religious activity. But here again I must say "Religious activity, per-haps, but Chris t ian? Hardly!" For in my mind Christian activity does not consist of sneaking up on some unsuspecting "unbeliever" and ter-rifiying him with the question, "Brother , have you found Christ, y e t ? "

As Rev. Mackerel, in Peter De Vries' novel The Mackerel Plaza says, "Is he lost a g a i n ? " I too must look on this type of thing with humor and sometimes fear .

The "Y" organization is supposed to be a vehicle for Christian ex-pression of praise and thankful-ness fo r all s tudents, but unfor tu-nately is composed for the most par t of either pre-sems and "con-verted" students, who, if they ac-tually wanted to praise the Crea-tor should not do it in f ron t of those tha t have already "found the Jesus road."

And on those rare occasions when

God is taken out of his box, he

should certainly not be preached

about in t e rms of "personal test i-

monies" or polite and sometimes

fake raising of eyebrows when a

"r isque" joke is told.

In summary then, we seem to have predominantly three types of s tudents on our campus as f a r as their relation to God goes: Those who seldom think about God, and when they do are not pleasant to be around; those who seemingly think a lot about God, but also are not pleasant to talk to; and those who are atheists and as long as the conversation does not t u rn to re-ligion, are very interest ing person-alities.

Oh, there is a four th group: Those s tudents who see more in Christ ianity than merely a papier-mache vision of a cross, but these are usually dismissed as "intellec-tua ls" who seek to undermine the church.

Yet if conditions do not change, and there is no reason to suppose tha t they will, I think we must agree with Wolfgang Borcherdt when he wrote in one of his plays " I AM God, in whom no one be-lieves!"

The Inquiring Reporter by Jane Tomlinson

"Do you think that Hope College should adopt an Honor Code? Why?

Louise Hunte, soph.: "I agree with Keith Van Hoff's let ter in the last edition of the Anchor. Who would be effected by this Code? People know wha t is honorable and right! What would a code do for those who have no conscience any way ? As f a r as I can see it would only make cheating easier."

Dr. Joy Talbert , Professor of English: "Theoretically yes. In the first place, selfishly I should be pleased to be relieved of monitorial duties. I am not trained as a de-tective, and I become emotional when I'm forced to be a police wo-man. In the second place, students should have the privilege of being upright without surveillance. But an honor code will not work unless both teachers and students know the practical implications of "hon-or" when applied to specific aca-demic situations. Prel iminary and continued education would be ne-cessary."

Paul E. van Reyen, Junior : "No, the students who come to Hope College for an education don't need one, and the students who are here jus t for the diploma, won't heed one."

Bob Fisher, Sophomore: Person-ally, I don't think it is necessary.

I myself have only noticed cheat-ing one or twice in the classroom since I've been here, and I've spoken to others about this, and they have had similar experiences. And those few tha t cheat are going to find ways of cheating, regardless of an Honor Code or not. A f t e r all, you're making this Honor Sys-tem a personal responsibility, well, isn't cheating a personal mat te r too ? The individual who cheats has his own moral conscience to deal with. Also, on a small campus such as Hope, those t ha t feel obli-gated to tell (as their "brother 's keeper") a prof of a student 's cheating, will be known. I can't help but feel tha t ! Also, if we a t college haven' t learned any person-al system of honor, how do you ex-pect to install one now, a f t e r 12 years of schooling? Aren ' t we a little too l a t e ? "

Mr. Alvin W. Vanderbush, Pro-fessor of His tory: "Since an 'honor code' would presumably require s tudents to assume a responsibility tha t they should assume whether or not we have an 'honor code,' I believe the adoption of such a code would have some value; it might even become something more than a 'noble experiment ' ."

Jack Parkes, Jun io r : "No, if the student is honest with himself he has his own honor code. Why shadow the hypocrisy of the dis-honest with an unachievable ideal ?"

Van Dahm Receives Ph.D. From Mich. U.

Thomas E. VanDahm, assistant professor and Director of Vocation-al Placement a t Hope College re-ceived his Ph.D. in Economics f rom the University of Michigan on Jan-uary 24.

The topic of his doctoral disser-tation was, "A Theory of the Bank Firm." The grea te r par t of it deals with the factors that influ-ence a bank in its preferences among al ternative asset-structures. Some attention is also given to liability-structure and size prob-lems in banking.

VanDahm joined Hope's faculty in 1955 and presently teaches courses in economics and business administration. Last September he was appointed Director of Voca-tional Placement fo r the college.

During the Christmas recess, the Lubbers took a short vacation in the Middle West. They left Hope on December 24 and arrived here again January 6 a f t e r spending the holidays with relatives.

"We went to Illinois, Iowa, Min-nesota, Wisconsin; the coldest par t of the country in the coldest pa r t of the year ," Dr. Lubbers recalled.

"On the tr ip, we held many con-ferences tha t proved interesting and st imulating," stated Lubbers. "These conferences were well a t -tended, and I feel the weather somewhat contributed to the effec-tiveness of the meetings."

The t r ip t h e Lubbers are taking a t the moment is of similar nature to the holiday vacation. Among other places, they plan to visit Florida where there are 72 alumni living. The Lubbers hope to con-tact most of them.

Movie Star Advises Young Folks To Stay Single Until Mid-Twenties

A glamorous movie s t a r has some advice fo r college-age people in the February Reader 's Digest— don't get married.

Rosalind Russell urges young folks to " learn basic seamanship before embarking on the sea of matr imony." Too many who don't, she tells author Lester David, help pile up teen-age divorce statist ics three and a half t imes grea ter than persons in the 26-to-30 age group.

Young people who wait until their mid-twenties to mar ry avoid many of the pitfal ls of too-young weddings. Your par tner ' s ability to do the cha-cha may still be im-por tan t ; but you'll also value his kindliness and unselfishness—more important a t t r ibutes in a success-fu l marr iage . You'll know tha t an adorable crew cut may grow out— or fall out—in time, but plain nice-ness goes on for a lifetime. And, if you're a boy, you'll realize tha t a sensational face and figure are great in a mate—if they go along with the ability to be a good wife and mother.

Another reason fo r waiting, says Miss Russell, is to avoid in-law trouble. You're a lot more likely to make your own decisions in your mid-twenties than you are as a teen-ager. Greater self-assurance will minimize the temptat ion to "run to momma" when the tough decisions come along.

Nowadays, with army service a

must in most cases, many young men are marrying later. But what of the g i r l s? Miss Russell has a suggestion fo r them, too: Get a job! A few years of working can teach a young girl orderliness, self discipline and respect fo r money. These are qualities tha t will pay off handsomely when she does get married:

Exposure to the boys at the water cooler will also teach her about men. She'll learn to distin-guish second-raters f rom good hus-band-bait.

Behind the Scenes This week:

Je r ry Kruyf, the Director of Public Relations for Hope, s tar ted his present position in September, 1958. He graduated f rom Hope College in 1956, major ing in Speech, and went on to Syracuse University to obtain his M.S. in Radio and Television or Communi-cations.

Before his present position, Je r ry worked in Omaha, Nebraska for KMTV in TV production work. Then last spring he obtained a po-sition with W J E F doing radio and TV announcing.

When asked exactly what his present job consists of, J e r r y gave me a very impressive list of duties.

For instance, he handles all pub-licity fo r the college. A big part of this now is handling the publi-city fo r . t h e . forthcoming Choir tour. He handles all the news re-leases, wire services and ads for the college. He also sees tha t all brochures are printed such as the Newsletter which is sent to minis-ters, parents and interested fr iends. And with all of this, it is Mr. Kruyf 's duty to maintain the bal-ance of good relations with all who write to, or have any relationships with the college.

Beside his college work, Mr. Kruyf has many other varied in-terests which take up his spare ( ?) time. These include the publicity fo r the Civic Music Association, which has its campaign this week, and being the secretary of the Hol-land Community Advisory Commit-tee.

Mr. Kruyf said tha t he liked be-ing back on Hope's campus for the association with the students, many of whom he knew while at tending Hope.

He at tends all meetings now as Advisor to the Fra te rn i ty and contributes much by serving on committees and giving his tal-ents as a musician, etc.

Hope Reserves Shine In Victory Over Olivet

Anyone who came to sec the

regulars of the Hope College bas-

ketball team play in the Civic Cen-

ter Saturday night was out of luck.

Hut they got a chance to get

better acquainted with the Hope

bench which played more than

three-quarters of the time and

rolled to a 100-54 decision over Oli-

vet College.

The regulars started the game

and four of them (Kay Kitsema,

Wayne Vries man, Warren Vander

Hill and Darrell Beernink) played

just four minutes and 10 seconds

in the first half.

During this time they built up

a 19-0 lead and then left r ight af-

ter Olivet scored a basket and free

throw to mak it 19-3. Captain Paul

Benes played a little longer. He

left with 10:56 remaining in the

first half and Hope in f ron t .'iO-9.

The regulars all made a brief

token appearance in the late s tages

of the second half. They played

about five minutes in the second

half with Vriesman, Vander Hill

and Kitsema each scoring two

baskets.

The c r o w d of 1,700 enjoyed

watching the Hope bench in ac-

tion and could speculate on what

the fu ture holds for the Dutch.

The biggest cheer in the game

came with 54 seconds remaining

when R i c h B a k k e r, Chicago

Heights, HI., sophomore pushed

through a layup to give Hope 100

points. It was the first time this

season the Dutch had struck the

century mark.

Daryl Siedentop, a junior, again turned in another fine floor game and canned 11 points. Vander Hill popped five of nine shots and ad-ded a free shot for 11 tallies and Jun Buursma sank five buckets in 10 tries and added a free toss for the same total.

Hope's s tar t ing lineup for the second half jump included Boyink, Norm Schut, Holland Schut, Hud-sonville junior and Norm's cousin. Bill Vander Bilt, Oostburg, Wis., sophomore and Bob Reid, Buffalo, N. Y. freshman.

The substitutes certainly held up their end of the scoring and show-ed some good shooting. Hope made 23 of 50 shots in the first half for 16 per cent and 23 of 45 in the second half for 51 per cent. This gave them 46 of 95 in the game for 49 per cent, the best shooting this season.

Olivet tried to work a weave and then get the one shot. Fresh-man Dick Groch of Toledo, Ohio, had a good one-hand push shot from outcourt. He was given a screen and then would let fly. He hit on eight of 20 and added five free shots fo r 23 points. Groch is fourth leading scorer in the MIAA.

The lopsided victory, Hope's seventh straight in MIAA action, gave the Dutch a clean sweep of first half play. It was Hope's 20th straight home victory and 15th straight MIAA home win.

But the one-sided win didn't give Benes and Ritsema much oppor-tunity to fat ten their scoring marks. Benes made three baskets, including a "dunk" and Ritsema hit four buckets. Benes now has 145 points fo r a 20.5 average and Ritsema, 123 points f o r a 17.4 mark.

Straight Win Dutch Score Win

Over Central 83-61 Getting balanced scoring and

some strong defensive board play, Hope College's basketball team romped to its 11th victory in 12 s tar ts here Saturday night with an 83-61 whipping of Central Stat • of Ohio before 2,500 fans in the Civic Center.

It was Hope's 21st s t raight vic-tory at home and it gave the Dutch a 4-1 overall against the All-Negro Ohio school.

Four of the Hope s ta r te rs hit in double figures and were scoring from several different spots, caus-ing the defense all kinds of trouble.

Darrell (Whitey) Beernink, who was high point man for the first time since arriving at Hope two years ago, hit from out around the foul line. He made eight baskets and added two of Hope's three free shots for 18 points.

Ray Kitsema hit from under-neath along with Paul Benes and both of these men came in for other shots, Ritsema from the corner on jump shots and Benes on his familiar hook. The Hope captain made 17 points, including eight baskets and the other Hope free toss and Ritsema sank seven buck-ets.

Wayne Vriesman added 12 points, hitting a couple as he moved through the pivot and a couple of other baskets on poke from the side.

The other Hope s tar ter . Warren Vander Hill, was the victim of a good performance against the Marauders in Wilberforce, Ohio last month. Vander Hill hit 25 then and the Central State defense was designed to stop the jump-shooting guard.

Central State set up a four-man box zone defense with a chaser. And the chaser was assigned to Vander Hill and stayed on him. The result was that Vander Hill got fewer shots, making only one basket in the first half and two in the second half.

Hope's rebounding was again superb with Ritsema putt ing on his best home showing this season. The 6'5" forward snagged 10 defensive rebounds away from the Maraud-ers, including nine in the first half. Frequently he outbattled the foes for the ball under his own basket and drew the cheers when he was completely bottled up by two players and then threw the ball between their legs to a teammate.

Benes grabbed nine defensive rebounds, seven in the second half. Sam Wagner picked off 11 for the losers. Benes scored Hope's first basket and Turner Russell, Mar-auder guard, returned up floor and matched it.

But that was the only tie in the game. Hope jumped out to an 8-2 lead but had to contend with Rus-sell, who scored Central 's first nine s t raight points. The score at the 10-minute mark was 25-12 and the score at half was 43-29.

Four baskets off the fas t break at the s tar t of the second half pushed the margin to 51-29 and a spurt a few minutes later ad-

vanced the spread to 61-35. The 10-minute mark was 69-41.

Benes left with 8:53 to go and Kitsema with 6:55 while the other regulars retired earlier. Coach Kuss De Vette again used every-one on his team.

Hope led 83-51 with four min-utes to go and Central did all the scoring in the time remaining. John Harr is paced the late drive with eight points. Russell was high for the losers with 19, 16 in the first half. He was held to just three free shots in the second half and Harris followed with 14.

Hope hit on 40 of 102 shots for 39 per cent. They sank 20 of 47 in the first half and 20 of 55 in the second half. The Dutch made three of eight free shots.
