Honor Code Committee To Be Enlarged Remember one of the most controversial subjects on campus last spring, the proposed honor code?

No! You don't serve yourself; you will be served. Then you will get just the right measure, taken from just the right place. You watch the server and learn how; then some day perhaps you can dip in yourself. In fact, there are a few radicals here who encourage this. Generally this is untrue. Oh, don't look discouraged. Everyone loves to be served; all you have to do is open your mouth when your turn comes and swallow.

Besides the academic pots we have the religious cake. Yes, that's the one, that great big one down in the corner . . . Why of course it always follows the same recipe. That satisfies the majority.

It hurts me to begin my first article of the new school year with a few words of censure.

Yet, we were not prepared.

We d i d n ' t k n o w , and those of u s who did know, didn't t h i n k . No one, you see r e a l l y believed it. After all, girls in the Hope smoking lounge . . . ? Impossible!

Unfortunately, the prophets were correct, m u c h to our chagrin. So often t h e y are wrong.

The very first day of school, I walked into the smoking room and was met by the awesome sight of some thirty girls, sitting in our chairs, leaning their pretty elbows on our tables, and smoking the brands we hated most.

JThat was I to do? Because of the shock, I beat a retreat and tried to find the first student council official I could, to register my protest. Certainly, the sexes are equal, the women have made sure of that, but this . . . ?'

The student council, it turned out, was powerless, so I took my coffee outside and sat on the back steps of Van Raalte Hall voicing my discontent until it

New Chapel Responsibilities Discussed Fellow Students: You have received a letter concerning chapel attendance, which carried in it many implications such as moving the responsibility of 70% attendance from the ticket machines to our calendars.

The fact of the matter is that we as students have an opportunity which we have never had before. We have been trying for many years to remove the monitors and the ticket machines from the chapel so that we could worship as we want without enforcement. The opportunity is now here; all we have to do is make use of it.

Rev. Cook, our new pastor, will be holding many discussions concerning, this matter.

The outcome will be entirely decided by students. Continue to

Letter to Edinburgh

think about this and we hope that each of you will have an opportunity to discuss it.

If this continues to be successful we are sure that we will never see monitors and ticket machines in the chapel again.

However, if it is a failure and the chapel leaders have no one to speak to, then we are sure the administration will devise some method to take roll. We would not like to see this happen.

This is a great step toward student self-discipline which our campus needs. It is a challenge to the chapel committee to have worthwhile services and it is a challenge to us as students to use wisely the greatest opportunity we have had in a long time. . .

started to rain. Then I went home with a fever.

My reaction was typical. Had we known, we could have organized.

But it was done behind our backs.

Now we must bear the bitter fruits of never again formulating world policy, except in our rooms; never again being able to advise the faculty on how to teach; never again being able to tell a joke, without lowering our heads and whispering.

But we asked for it. We s c r e a m e d for equality; we formed lobbies; and now . . . ?

But we are not powerless.

It is not too late to organize.

Through discussions with other men which sometimes lasted well into the night, I have been able to formulate a policy of systematic needling which, if we win, will restore the smoking room to its rightful owners, and, if we lose will destroy our world. I will list them here so you may copy them down and burn them into your minds.

1. Always enter the smoking room without cigarettes, so that you can ask the girls for one. Sooner or later they will run out and then we can move in. Once we're in and in sole possession we can keep them out at gun-point, if necessary.

2. Be clumsy and somewhat illmannered. Falling over a friend's extended feet and landing judiciously on a table at which girls are sitting so that you spill their coffee is admirable strategy. W h i l e they're getting new cups, you can signal to friends who have been waiting outside for just such an opportunity and be comfortably seated, when the girls return.

3. Get into vehement arguments with the girls at your table. Be sure to argue logically, however, or you and people I miss. How I used will lose.

And remember the bottle incident! What a riot that was.

Our landladies wouldn't allow us to have any sort of decorations on our walls, so we started a bottle collection to give the place a little life and interest.

I never expected to be on the receiving end of a temperance lecture just for having a few beautifully shaped, tallow-coyered wine bottles on the mantle piece.

And the food they used to cook up! It's a funny thing, but brussel sprouts grow on you after you eat them for awhile, Sort of like olives, I guess.

Somehow, though, I could never get very f o n d of mashed turnip or steak and kidney pie. It's strange, that whenever I went out to eat I enjoyed the meals — especially roast lamb, mint sauce, and Yorkshire pudding.

My own conclusion, which was not difficult to come to, was that our landladies never mastered the culinary art. The food here in the dorm isn't too bad; occasionally we get a dilly menu, but one does have to wait in order to be served.

Remember, you have nothing to lose but your smoking room!

If they start a counter-attack we're finished.

Kollen Park Scene Of Frosh Party

"The Waiting Game"

The Hope College Y organization got off to a good start with the Freshmen Party held on September 13 at Kollen Park.

This event gave the Freshmen a chance to get acquainted with each other as well as with the local Y officers and committee chairmen.

Games, mixers, and a picnic supper contributed to the informal atmosphere as did Clark Matthews and Bruce Hoffman with their jokes and group singing. Joanne TenHaken presented a serious paper and Gordon Stegink told briefly about the content of the Y organization.

Another annual event for all students, the Y Banquet, was held Tuesday, September 27. At this time Dr. Lubbers spoke on "The Responsibilities of the Christian Student on Campus".

The Y would like to take this opportunity to welcome the new Y sponsor, the Rev. Allen B. Cook, who is also the director of Kollen Hall and the college chaplain.

Fifty To Receive Bids Today T&day is the day! — a day awaited anxiously and apprehensively by fifty of the girls on Hopue's campus, both transfer students and upper classmen. Today the five sororities hand out bids to the girls they want in the culmination of the fall rushing program.

The Pan-Hellenic Board has organized this fall program as a continuation of the spring rushing program. Because the sororities do not fill all their openings at the first rushing, these places are made available to transfers and to upper classmen.

Major eligibility requirements remains the same with a "C" average.

The first teas were held last Saturday. Each rushee was required to go to all five of the formal teas in order to better pick the sorority she wants.

Then on Wednesday night, final or preference teas were held.

The rushee attended one or possibly two of these final teas.

Following this the sororities had their bidding meetings, and bids were sent out this morning.

Pledges will have an informal initiation and a formal ceremony; the new sorority members will be participating in Homecoming activities.

Bruins Opens First Council Meeting September 20, 1960 Silence prevailed in room 103 of Van Raalte at 7:10 P.M. when Cal Bruins called the first Student Council meeting of this year to order. The quietness was soon interrupted by individual grunts of "Here" as the roll was taken. Each member listened intently to the secretary's report of May 24, 1960.

The report was approved, but only after two mistakes h a d been corrected. . The president slowly, and in a dignified manner rose to his feet, as his chair squeaked. With a stem facial expression and with his hand in his pocket, Cal announced the order of the committee reports to be given. Cal then told us of a very serious and pressing problem — that of deciding when and where to hold our Student Council meetings!

As the president resumed his s e a t , t h e vice president remained in her's as she encouraged each of the members to sign his name on the paper being passed around in order to pledge that he will sit one hour in the Student Council office to receive suggestions from helpful students and to give advice to confused ones.

By Justine Ann Dakin Although the drama of the national campaign was demoted to second place on the front pages of the nations newspapers last week as a result of focusing news on Khrushchev, Castro, African leaders and President Eisenhower at the U.N., the presidential campaign was still being carried on at a fast tempo by Senator Kennedy and Vice-President Nixon.

While Castro's antics and Krushchev's bear hugging may have provided more sensational and eye-catching news, the candidates were trying to play the UN meeting by ear.

By now the American population and unquestionably the candidates realize that this is a campaign to be decided on issues rather than personalities.

Neither Nixon nor Kennedy campaign with the same aplomb and overriding confidence that Mr. Eisenhower and the Republican party was able to do in 1952 and '56, for it is the realization of both parties that neither of this year's candidates possess the overwhelming popularity of our present president.

So many complex factors enter into the election this year, that few columnists or even poll takers dare to predict anything but trends.

Both candidates are received well everywhere, and despite attempts of certain Protestants to make religion the deciding issue in the campaign, Kennedy, by meeting this unfortunate situation directly rather than ignoring it as did A1 Smith in 1928, is gaining respect and perhaps even winning votes from voters sitting on the fence.

The religious issue is a handicap for Richard Nixon too. If Kennedy's Catholocism remains prominent in the campaign, Nixon is sure to lose the votes of many Catholic Republicans who will vote for Kennedy in an attempt to settle the issue of a Catholic executive in the White House.

Also, many Jewish votes might support Kennedy as acknowledgment of sympathy for the persecutions the Senator is receiving from bigoted persons of our nation.

Both candidates realize that they will best be able to win votes if they can convince the people to vote for them on the basis of what each is offering to the nation in terms of leadership for the next four years.

Nixon, representing the minority party, is asking the people not to vote the party line, but to consider both men in terms of experience and proven leadership. He invaribly throws in the line in every speech that "I know Krushchev . . . and the crowds love it.

He hits the opposition by deriding them for leading the public into thinking that we are a second rate nation. Indeed, he maintains that the Eisenhower administration have preserved the peace and* also prosperity While Senator Kennedy has said that what is good for labor is good for America, Mr. Nixon has retorted that a President must be a representative of all the people in this country and not just one segment of the population.

Although the farm issue was forecast to be a major issue in the campaign, the people in the farm belt have thus far shown restlessness and boredom when Nixon's speeches veered from the topic of foreign affairs. This is seemingly the best selling point and happily so for the Republicans, who have intended it to be that way.

The United States in the eyes of Senator Kennedy is in a period of rapid decline both at h o m e a n d a b r o a d . He tells us that our economic growth is advancing too slowly and that there is no reason why our rate cannot be increased especially if the Democats are leading the country.

Kennedy sees the prestige and power of the United States slowly ebbing as a result of the blunders of eight years of Republican stagnation in the field of foreign affairs.

Today is the time for bigger government, more spending and sacrifice on the part of the American people, and Mr. Kennedy asks the voter to journey with him in this noble purpose of sacrificing to keep America great and to restore its preeminence in global affairs.

The United States has a rosy future according to Jack Kennedy — IF — and only IF we elect the Democratic party to executive and legislative power for the years ahead. Kennedy asserts that he will stand up to Khrushchev. Appeasement will not be the policy of a Democratic administration.

Therefore, although there are many domestic issues of significance the electorate is most concerned about the U.S. position of leadership in the world.

TIM S ANTING A 411/2 E. 20th STUDENT SALESMAN

Hey, Frosh, look here! We upperclassmen aren't so cruel after all. We discussed the outrageous cost of the Frosh beanies and decided to investigate further. The Council has requests. that all, if any, profit from the sale of beanies be turned over to the Freshmen Class.

Here comes a plug for the Junior class — President Rog Achterhof proudly announced that his class is publishing a b o o k l e t containing pictures, names and addresses of all new students on campus. They'll be out soon for only a quarter, which is to cover the publishing cost. Hmm, do you think the juniors will make any profit here?

At 8:36 P.M. the council members raised their hands in a c o m p l e t e agreement (for a change). What for? Why, in order to adjourn the meeting, of course. Cal reminded us that the next meeting will be Oct. 4, at 7:15 in Dr. Hollenbach's home.

Respectfully submitted, Ellen Frink Student Council Secretary

Hi Everyone: Well, we are back again for another school year full of anticipation and high hopes. We who are the old timers on campus want to extend a special greeting to all freshmen and transfers. We hope that you will visit us each week and also let us know of any happenings around campus which you think might be of interest to all of us.

Local fans will remember last year's encounter, played in a downpour characteristic of many Albion games in the past four years, by the spectacular 78 yard punt return of "Sharkey" Vande Woude for the only and decisive score of the game. Tomorrow's contest will take place at Albion.
