Penny Carnival Yields $340 Proceeds Aid CARE, Liberia

Cooperative Goals by Susan Spring In answer to an invitation from the Calvin College Student Council, Hope's Student Council caravaned to Grand Rapids last Thursday for a day of touring, discussing, and viewing their Fine Arts Festival. Better Relations The talks resulted in comparing the policies and situations at both schools, in relation to each topic — Homecoming, eligibility, drinking, dorm rules and the set-up of student government. Hope president, Rick Brandsma, headed a preliminary talk that centered around suggestions for pulling our schools into a closer competitiveness and eliminating any present bitter rivalry, as shown in various pranks and demonstrations. (The abduction of the Fraternal sign was cited.) A committee of both administration and students which converged last week representing both schools suggested that perhaps a wooden shoe would be designated for stealing back and forth, or periodic tug of wars between the schools, thus quenching any spirit of extreme adversity existing. These suggestions were chuckled down by the members present.

The Penny Carnival is an a n nual affair in March and, except for the chairmen of the event and the booths, is strictly a oneday event. As is usually the case, the day of the carnival arrived almost unexpectedly, was filled with hours of .feverish p r e p a r a tion, concluded with a few hours

Would more interchange be beneficial? The merit seen was voiced by both Hope and Calvin students. ''I think that one of t h e best moves would be a cultural exchange, "stated one boy. "We could have a chance to look at the other school's work and to become exposed to the other professors." Norm Kansfield agreed. "Yes," he said, "interested students would participate. Joint meetings would give us valuable insights into the way that each school is growing a n d would broaden our views."

Drinking The discussion on drinking, although it came to no concrete end, is worthy of citing. Calvin's administration has the looser regulation, allowing students drinking, but discouraging the "misuse" of alcohol. Hope discourages "use" of alcohol. Calvin students, upon violation of the rule, are subject to suspension. Hope students may have up to one week's suspension from classes, on the second offense may be suspended for a semester, and on the third offense leave permanently. The big question that plagued the group was whether our schools should legislate so, or should try to educate the students in the evils of drink. Legislation seems necessary, especially in Christian schools. One member noted that "If kids want to drink. W o n ' t see why they want to come to a church^college anyway." "Given that we could educate, students should have the right to choose, but not to misuse their right," said Judy de Ryke. Council and Dormitories The discussion concerning the correlation of student government and dorm life left the group a little less up in the air. On our campus, the fraternities and sororities are all involved in Student Council. However, it isn't so at Calvin. Their present Student Council president hasn't previously been a member of council. Their officers are responsible to their classes, and the newspaper is the only mediator. Independents were noted to be a problem to organizations due to their lack of interest. Calvin's Dean Lucas observed that, due to our acceptance of the disinterest of these students, our attitude toward a democratic system would be that "it doesn't work so let's let the aristocracy run the show. Calvin's attitude, on the other hand, is that democracy won't work, but let's give it a try anyway."

Guillietta Massini stars in the Italian film, "The Nights of Cabiria," to be shown in the Music Auditorium this afternoon at 4:00 p.m. and again this evening at 8:30 p.m. Directed by Fellini, who also directed "La Dolce Vita," the film has English subtitles and is sponsored by the English department. "The Nights of Cabiria" treats the same ideas as does "La Dolce Vita," namely, the decay of contemporary life. Unlike "La Dolce Vita," this 'film concludes with an aspect of hope for modern society. Dr. Edward Savage has said that this "is the best film of the last ten years."'

Foreign Students

The First Reformed Church of Schenectady, New York, has announced a $700 scholarship to be awarded to a foreign student attending Hope College. The recipient will be chosen on the basis of his academic performance and contribution to campus life. He should preferably be someone who has come to Hope from one of the Reformed Church areas and plans to return to his homeland after graduation. Persons interested in being considered for this award should contact Mr. Clarence Kleis, chairman of the Hope scholarship committee.

of gaiety and festivity, and was rapidly forgotten. For some people throughout the world the Penny Carnival at Hope College has a greater significance, although they may not know, as well as we do, just what it is. Today a refugee in Hong Kong may receive a 22pound Food Crusade package paid for by the students at Hope College. The proceeds of the 1962 Penny Carnival amounted to $340. This money was sent to CARE, Cooperative for American Relief Everywhere, Inc. Half of the money paid for 170 Food Crusade packages which were sent to Colombia, Greece, Hong Kong, Israel, Italy, West Pakistan, and Viet Nam. The remaining $170 has been applied to a special project for Liberia, which is one of the oldest democracies in the world. A serious shortage of equipment in the schools of Liberia has slowed down the educational process. This money will supply each of the 2,200 teachers in Liberia with a kit containing maps and a dictionary, and one kit for the students of each class, containing chalk, crayons, paper, blackboard, and physical education items such as soccer balls. Therefore, although Hope College has forgotten the Penny Carnival for this year, peoples throughout the world are reaping the results and will not so soon forget.

Team Teaching To Be Used For Intro Psych Next y e a r ' s Introductory Psychology course will have a brand-new look, the result of a b r a n d - n e w teaching method to be employed. The new approach, rapidly gaining favor in educational circles, is the "team-teaching system," whereby all staff members participate in the teaching of a single course.

Dr. Robert F. DeHaan, who is at the head of the operation, has characterized it as primarily aiming to "bring to our intro students the best that our staff members have to offer." There will be only one large section to meet twice a week for lectures. The various professors will lecture by turns, each in the field which he knows best. In place of a regular textbook, the new course will make use of a book of readings compiled by the department. Another important feature of the program is the use of students as discussion group leaders. The third weekly period will be devoted to these smaller discussions dealing with material covered in the week's lectures. The discussion groups will be led by senior psychology majors, who will also attend weekly,seminars to work on the lecture material, student readings, and methods of discussion leadership. Dr. DeHaan sees special value in this part of the program as "giving our psych majors a chance to get a taste of college teaching."
