Kollen Hall Men Speak on New Rules by Dick Emmert (Before the reader begins it is only fair to warn him that this writer does not profess to have developed a scientific system for survey-taking such as the Gallup Poll or tht Kinsey Report; however, it is felt that a fair cross section of opinion from residents of Kollen Hall are herein presented.) When any group of people must live together for any period of time certain rules and regulations seem to be necessary for the benefit of all. This year, with one eye on the past and one on the future, a system of enforcement was drafted at Kollen Hall by the Junior and Senior Head Residents with the approval of the Administration, a system which it is hoped will make the men's dormitory not only a more "conducive to academic achievenient" but also a more agreeable place for those who must spend the greater part of the year in it. • The main attempt of this article is to air the opinions of the residents since, as one disgruntled sophomore put it, we had ''no say in it." The newest residents of Kollen Hall, the freshmen, felt the rules and regulations for the dormitory were quite fair, as, indeed, did the greatest majority of the students interviewed. The only disaffection came from two transfer students who felt that this was regimentation, an infringement upon individual freedom and privacy.
Dutch Critic To Lecture To English Classes Mr. Adriaan van der Veen, Dutch novelist, essayist, and literary critic, will speak to Dr. De Graaf's third and Dr. Savage's fifth hour English survey classes on Friday, October 5, in Van Raalte 207. The topic of the lecture will be "Writers I Have Met." All students having third or fifth hour free on that day are invited to join these classes. Some of the writers Mr. van der Veen could include in his talk are: Hendrik Willem van Loon, Graham Greene, E. M. Forster, C. P. Snow, Angus Wilson, Anthony Powell, Robert Lowell, John Dos Passos, Thomas Mann, Michel Butor, Robbe-Grillet, Marguerite Duras, Uwe Johnson, and Evelyn Waugh. Mr. van der Veen has traveled extensively in France, Italy, and the United States. In 1954 he began a lecture tour for universities and colleges throughout this country. Among the books Mr. van der Veen has had published are: Geld Speelt de Grote Rol, Wij Hebben Vleugels, Zuster-ter-Zee, Het Wilde Feest, Spelen in het Donker, and Deen Alsof. Some of his collections of short stories include: Jacht in de Diepte and De Man Met de Zilveren Hoed. In addition he had written essays and introductions to anthologies. Many of his works can be obtained in English.
The only ruling that was questioned was the one just added this year. "No vending or soliciting of any kind shall be carried on in the dormitory." It was strange to note that even among the resident advisors there was a difference of opinion. Only two freshmen felt that the dorm was "not the proper place for it", while the opinion of the upper clasmen could be summed up in the statement of a junior resident: "in a town like Holland where everything is closed on Sundays" it is good to have a place to go to get something to eat other than what is offered by the vending machine. When approached as to the reason for this ruling, the R.A.'s (Resident Advisors) said they felt that it not only caused a disturbance but that it also tempted the "little capitalists" to make warehouses out of their rooms. As for the former, resident opinion seems to indicate that the disturbances caused were negligible and that if some resident wanted to take the "risk" of a "small business" his stomach would be happier for it. Still along this line, the R.A.'s have promised that at the first House Board meeting they will discuss the possibility of opening up the dorm kitchen in the evening. Residents interviewed were unanimously in favor of this idea. The second question was, "Are you in favor of the system of enforcement; that is, fines ranging from fifty cents to two dollars for breaking regulations?" Again, the freshmen interviewed were in complete agreement, feeling that some form of enforcement was necessary. But there complete acceptance ended! Sophomore comments ranged from Continued on Page 3
Student Council Seeks Answer on Possible Dancing by Rick Brandsma In order to supplement the somewhat shocking "newsflash" in last week's anchor concerning the possibility of establishing a temporary student union, I would like to clarify and expand the ideas the Student Council is considering at the present time.

First I want to make a few corrections. The idea of setting up a student union with dancing was not a part of my campaign. However, there seemingly is a definite need for a student social center and I feel it is my responsibility to see that this demand is met. Although the Juliana Room is a possibility for the location of such a student center,, there were other sites suggested which would serve as adequately and lead to fewer complications, one of these sites being the Kletz. Secondly, the plans for such a student center are still very much on the drawing board. Before the Council takes any definite action along these lines it is felt that we must have some index of student opinion as to the establishment of a temporary union. Therefore, the Council will appreciate your filling out the following questionnaire and filing it in the box in Van Raalte lobby. The Council also reminds you that your opinion is extremely important if such plans are to be carried out. The ability to cause the desired effect lies with the student body. The Student Council (should) or (should not) pursue plans for a temporary student union. Plans (should) or (should not) include dancing. Comments:
