Within minutes, the cake has been assembled and, as our photographer licks the bowl, Mrs. Brink adds a few artful swirls to the basic product of her labors. The trimmings are next. “The decorat-

Mrs. Brink fills her pastry tube and pro- ceeds to write “Happy Birthday” in a sprightly and, to Mrs. Brink’s relief, legible script. Mrs. Brink’s eight year old son comes to share in the festivities. A sprinkling of

flowers adds a merry touch. Soon it ap- pears that Mrs. Brink and her pastry tube can’t stop! Every bit of frosting finally finds its way to the cake. Mrs. Brink gives the creation a final critical gaze and then packs it away in the carton donated by DuMond’s, a local bakery. Later Mrs. Brink drives to Hope and is seen ringing the bell of Connie’s college residence. “Hello Connie. On behalf of the Third Reformed Church and your parents,— Happy Birthday!”

But what can you do when you’re several hundred miles away from home and everyone around you is so busy?— arrange your own party? Soon, even to Connie, this special day had become pretty average. Meanwhile, several miles across town, Barbara Brink, a housewife and mother of four, hurries through her morning chores. When the back door’s slam signifies that the last of the children has made her way outdoors to play, Mrs. Brink settles down to search through her recipe collection for her family-approvedwhite cake recipe and a chocolate fudge frosting she knows to be especiallygood. For, although Mrs. Brink has never met Connie, she knows Connie’s favoritecake is white with chocolate frosting. And, although Mrs. Brink has never met Connie, she knows this is Connie’s birthday. And, although Mrs. Brink has never met Connie, she is about to spend nearly half her day insuring that Connie’s day be just a little bit festive.

Mrs. Brink is one of 125 women of the Third Reformed Church of Holland who donate their time and ingredients in baking cakes for Hope students away from home. Although most are for birthdays, cakes can be made for any special occasion or just for an exciting surprise,according to Mrs. Gerald Tillema, current chairman of the Cake Service,which has been in operation for 14 years and has produced roughly 4,000 cakes.

Hope Coeds in Sports

women continue to gain stature in national athletic circles, Hope College has also

been expanding its women ’s sports program in order to offer the best possible agenda to interested coeds. According to Cindy Bean, assistant professor of physical education, the women’s sports financial budget has been increased significantlyduring the past few

years, allowing the department to broaden its program, “althoughthere still is a ways to go, ” adds Sandy Parker, assistantprofessor of physical education. Some of the biggest changes noted by Bean are: a greater number of participating women, a larger competitive schedule, and better and more equipment. Also, Bean in-

forms, there is now a more equal use of facilities by Hope men and women athletes. “The established philosophy at Hope has become that sport is an educational experience for every athlete in every sport, ” she explains. Presently Hope offers field hockey, volleyball,basketball, archery, and tennis as varsity sports for women. “We have an insufficientcoaching staff to provide any more com- petitivesports at this time, but this is certainly one of our goals for the future," Bean emphasizes.

“Our sports program can only get stronger because of our women s attitude,” Bean maintains. “Our athletes are taking themselves more seriously.They have a desire to win, dedication, and a willingness to try hard. ” However, most Hope women athletes do not align themselves with the popular “Billy Jean King philosophy" which sees sports as an opportunityfor sexual combat, according to Bean. “Our athletes want to show they can be women in spite of their sport," she reports. Parker adds: “Our women go into sports mostly just for the pleasure of competing, just like men do!" A Fitting T ribute: Lubbers Center f<

deft and wise counsel. He was an artist in the complex art of college administration, and was recognized as such by the whole heirarcy of higher education. He knew how to size up the strengths of those working with him and then using them in ways that would maximize these strengths. He did not lose his poise in the face of contrary opinion or criticism—in fact he seemed to welcome it. Above all he was a person with

goals that went beyond himself— to a vision of perfection that was firmly based on his

Christian faith. It was this quality above all that kept him young and buoyant and forward looking every day of his presidency. I salute my old colleague and presi-

It has been my privilegeto enjoy a long association with the Lubbers and no words adequately express my admiration, respect and affection for Dr. and Mrs. Lumbers. Surely no more suitable tribute can be paid to one of Hope’s “first families” than to recognize Irwin and Margaret by establishing the Irwin J.
