OLUND, MICHIGAN

75th ANNIVERSARY — 2 3

Hope College, Holland, Michigan

FoilT WilsOfl (jTdfltS Wotl Four Hopites were among 1,475 college students in the country to be awarded first year Woodrow Wilson Fellowships. The announcement was made by Dr. John Hollenbach, faculty representative for the Woodrow Wilson Fellowship Foundation and vice president of the college. In addition two Hope students received honorable mention. Recipients of the fellowships, which are designed to encourage future college teachers, are Paul Lucas of Holland, Mary Peelen of Kalamazoo, Jean Louret of Hingham, Wis., and Thomas Werge of North Bergen, N. J. Given honorable mention were Roger Kobes of Holland and Barbara Walvoord of Oradell, N. J. Each fellowship covers tuition and fees for the first year at the graduate school of the Fellow's choice, plus a stipend of $1500 and dependency allowances according to Sir Hugh Taylor, president of the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation. "Committees of eminent college professors and deans picked this year's winners from among 9,767 candidates named by faculty members at 907 colleges in the United States and Canada,"

Sir Hugh noted. He added, "It is our hope that these newlyelected Woodrow Wilson Fellows will continue as decisively as possible toward the attainment of the Ph.D. Toward that end we have chosen candidates who can meet the foreign language requirements of their graduate schools." "All these winners — the largest number we have selected in any one year thus far — were chosen as 'good bets' for college teaching. We hope they will follow that career, yet we do not hold them to such a firm commitment. We ask only that they give college teaching serious consideration." Awards by the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation are made possible through grants totalling $52 million from the Ford Foundation which since 1957 has supported the expanded Woodrow Wilson Fellowship program. In addition to awarding first year fellowships, the Wilson Foundation offers subventions to graduate schools for the support of graduate students beyond the first year and Dissertation Fel-

For Summer Session

Underway With Applications Applications are now available for this year's Hope College Summer Session, opening June

Controversial Lewis to Address Republicans Fulton Lewis III will be the guest speaker at an open meeting of Hope College Young Republicans, on the topic, "The Intellectual Bankruptcy of Modern Day Liberalism." The public is encouraged to attend. The meeting will take place Tuesday, March 19, at 4:00 in Graves Lecture Hall. This is one of 12 speeches Lewis is delivering in Michigan during the week of March 17-23. For the past two years, Lewis has done research and anlysis for the House Committeee on Un-American Activities. He is the narrator of the controversial

film "Operation Abolition." Serving as national director of Young Americans for Freedom, a conservative youth movement, and substituting for his father, Fulton Lewis, Jr., on the Mutual Broadcasting Company takes up the rest of his time. Allan Howell, new chairman of the Michigan Federation of College Republicans, has this to say about Lewis's appearance on Hope's campus: "This aids the college Republicans' desire to seek out the fallacy of modern day liberalism and helps the conservative to know his own side as well as the opposition."

24. Registration will be completed in the Dimnent Memorial Chapel at 8:00 a.m. Courses will be offered in all major fields and will last from six to eight weeks. Credits earned in summer school are readily accepted by all leading colleges and universities. A 30 minute chapel service each week is considered to be an important part of the program and all students are expected to attend. Applications for the summer session should be made to Dr. E. E. Brand, Director of the Summer Session. O n l y high school graduates or persons over 21 years of age may apply along with college students. Dormitory accommodations are available for both men and women. Reservations should be made by June 1 to the Director of the Summer Session. Housing for men will depend on demand.

Interest in religion, and high potential for effective college teaching. This is the first Danforth Fellowship to be awarded to a Hope student since Richard Brockmeier received one in 1959, also in phyrics. Brockmeier is now studying for his Ph.D., at California Institute of Technology. Lucas has been accepted at Johns Hopkins University but has expressed interest in the University of Illinois.

Alpha Phi Omega is again sponsoring an Ugly Man On ^to raise funds r or P r e s t a t i e j k i f s ' work among mentally retarded children. APO has been informed that this financial assistance is particularly needed now, as the in-, stitution is currently short of funds. Last year $450 was contributed by the campus community. Knowing the difficulty of finding the Ugliest Man on Hope's Campus, the anchor has the following interviews to present to aid voting on March 18, 19 and 20, in Van Raalte Hall: Seth Pool the Emersonian This questionable Emersonian for the UMOC was bom in the mud and ooze of Black River and has lived a good clean life. His youth was filled with enriching experiences: grave robbing, torturing sweet little old lady school teachers, and similar grand and glorious deeds. With such a background he had no trouble being accepted at Hope, but, as fate would have it, he flunked out after a brilliant start on a Bible major (undoubtedly because he was an atheist).

After this traumatic experience, he joined the Pacifist Navy and saw the world from an oily engine room. He fought against fighting in such various theatres of anti-war as the Battle of J u liana Center, Smokers' Hill, and Dimnent Ditch. He Was cited for undistinguished service and received the Yellow Stripe for running the fastest in retreat. The Werewolf of The Pine Grove A Cosmopolitan The Werewolf of the Pine Grove emerged fully ugly from the mists of the moor near Wuthering Heights and spent an anxious childhood being chased by the hound of the Baskervillles. Finding American liberty and the pursuit of ugliness more to his liking and less trying on his physiognomy, he, in the past few years, has roamed the Pine Grove seeking the companionship of a coed. The campus women have never quite taken to him and his Quasimodo exterior, but down inside beats the heart of a fine old sewing machine. I t is said he will continue roaming forever, but understood that he can be induced to leave

Hope's campus by tossing him c sheepskin in June. Arcadian Wieren Wolf The Arcadian Wieren Wolf is plain, is a typical Hope College student. When asked how he liked UMOC, the Wolf replied, "Sunnyside up with a little blood imd gore" (evidently thinking of a Slater breakfast). We noted the huge Chi Phi Sigma on the Wolf's sweater and asked him if he were an Arkie. The Wolf straightened his hunched back a bit and replied of course^ he had been an Arkie for 3,000 years. Noting that we did not believe this, the Wolf explained that he was a direct descendant of Medaus, Bacchus and Snurd, the famous mythological heroes of ancient Arcadia. With a tear in his eye he related how he had so offended his mother with his dastardly deeds that she was forced to leave him with a wolf pack so that he might learn better table manners. A f ter eliminating over-population and relieving the suffering of the weak and aged by removing them, he left Arcadia and came to Hope College in search of a (Continued on page 2)

GOOD CAUSE — One of the five men below will be voted the ugliest man on campus through the monetary voting of the student body. All the proceeds will go to Prestatie Huis. The five fraternities represented (L to R) are Cosmo, Arkie, Emmie, Knick and Frater.
