"It is my mid-year assessment

that there have been few attempts by the Campus Ministry staff to

reach out and even fewer by other

segments of the campus community

to reach in," he wrote. The Chapel Program has recently

been criticized by some segments

of the college due to last year's con-troversy and the lack of diversity

Chapel, was unavailable for com-

ment. "We are back to the point where

we need to define our community."

Safety of frisbees questioned JANE BAST infocus editor

In the past three years at Hope College, 36 claims of sexual harass-

ment and two cases of sexual as-sault have been documented. Yet no

one seems to have heard about

ih'em. A recent a l leged assau l t has

raised questions about the nature of

Hope's sexual harassment policy.

Although the policy is available

through the office of Student De-velopment and information was

sent to all freshmen students at the

beginning of fall semester, few stu-

dents are familiar with it.

"I think it s like lifeboat training on the Titanic," said Sexual Harass-

ment Policy Educator Kristen Gray.

"It's easy to ignore it until you need

it "

they have not been given much in-

formation on the subject, the ad-

ministration feels that information

provided is ignored.

" C A A R E ( C a m p u s A s s a u l t

educators discuss sexual assault

with freshman at the beginning of every year," said Richard Frost,

Dean of Students. "We're always

open to invitations to talk about it.

We go into upper-class buildings

and most students choose not to

attend. The college does not as-

sume to play the role of the parent.

The college plays the role of the

educator and seeks to do so in the

best way." President James Bultman wor-

ANDREW LOXZ spotlight editor

In two years, Linda Linklater, an

employee of Van Wylen library, has

been hit twice with Frisbees.

She was hit in the same location

both limes, behind the President's

House. Each incident resulted in

slight injuries, including black eyes.

The second time she was hit,

Linklater had it x-rayed, and was

informed of a hairline fracture in her

cheekbone. "One faculty member suggested

I was a Frisbee magnet," Linklater

said with a laugh. "I was just in the

wrong place." Jenny Powers, professor of Reli-

gion, was. also injured in a Frisbee

acc iden t . She was s t ruck by

Frisbee on the set of stairs between

Lubbers and the DeWitt Center.

"I blacked out a bit, and Woozed,

but luckily I fell forward," Powers

said. "I did go to the emergency

room." P o w e r s n e e d e d to h a v e her

glasses replaced, and had a head-ache for a week and a half. To this

date, she has not been reimbursed

for the expenses of her injury.

"I n e v e r go o u t s i d e w i t h o u t

g lasses , because $150 for new

lenses is better than a broken nose,"

Powers said. The individual whose Frisbee hit

Powers was not a Hope student, in-

stead he was a high school student

using Hope's course. "The increased frequent use of

the course is from non-Hope stu-

dents," Powers said. This adds up to three Frisbee-re-

lated injuries in two years, some-

thing Powers feels is unacceptable

on Hope's* campus. She feels that

there is a definite need to examine

Frisbee golf and work toward safety

precautions for the game.

"Any activity that injures stu-

dents should be a concern," Pow-

ers said. Powers has presented this opin-

ion to the administration in e-mailS

and most recently at the January

Faculty Meeting. "Concern has been raised and we

are going to look into it," said Diana Breclaw, the Director of Student

Activities. "I want to see Frisbee

golf stay on campus, but we can make it safer. We need to make sure

that when people throw the Frisbee

that no one 's around."

Hope students deal with reality of diabetes MELANIE LOFQUISX staff reporter

Josiah Dykstra ( '02) always wanted to be

an astronaut. He'd even gone to space camp twice. Then,

in sixth grade he was diagnosed with Type I

Diabetes. Unfortunately for Dykstra, the po-tential complications of diabetes make it im-

possible for him to pilot an aircraft. "Diabetes has never been a big obstacle for

me. But flying is the one thing you can't do,"

Dykstra said, now a computer science and

music major. "The FA A won't lei you fly

because there are loo many health hazards

for you and your passengers. Your sugars can

get too high or too low. And no one knows exactly what would happen to you in space."

Type I Diabetes is a chronic disease where the body fails to produce insulin, which is

needed to breakdown glucose. If a diabetic's blood sugar level is too high over a period of

years, they can develop severe complications, such as blindness, circulatory problems and

kidney and heart disease.

Diabetics inject themselves daily with in-sulin to break down the glucose in their body.

If a diabetic's blood sugar level is too low,

from too much insulin, they can pass out and even die. Therefore, diabetics must regulate

their blood sugar level by checking it several

times a day, exercising regularly, and watch-

ing what they eat. "I probably don't take as good care of it as

I did in high school. I don't know if it's be-

cause my parents aren't here to remind me or

I 'm lazy or I don't have lime," Dykstra said.

Dykstra's maintenance plan includes eat-

ing at about the same time every day, visit-ing an endocrinologist (a diabetes specialist)

annually, checking his blood sugar level one or two times per day and giving himself in-

sulin shots twice a day. When Dykstra's blood sugar drops, he eats

something to counteract the insulin. "I can tell when my blood sugar is gelling

low so I know when to eat something. I keep

Grand Rapids. The event will lake

place in the Dow Center. There is a S4()() entry lee for a

dancer to participate, and all ol the

money raised will go to children at

the DeVos Hospital. On Feb. 10.

committees will find out how many

dancers will be participating.

Di He rent o r g a n i z a t i o n s and

halls are sponsoring dancers," said Fli/abelh Wilson ( '03). who is on

the morale commit tee . "Several

fundraising activities are talking p lace on c a m p u s , s u c h as the

Valentine's Day flower sale." There will also be a Bowling Day

at Nor thern Lanes on Feb. 10.

Money thai is drawn in between 9

p.m. and midnight will go toward

the Dance Marathon.

Besides being a dancer, students

can also participate by acting as a

moraler. " Our goal i : to have as many

moralers as possible," Wilson said.

"The more the merrier."

The main responsibility of the moralers will take pface the night

before the marathon. Moralers will

help organize ihe event, encourage

the dancers and keep them moti-

vated throughout the 24-hour pe-riod. While the dancers will be re-

quired to participate for the 24 hours straight, the moralers will rotate

shifts. There will be specific regu-lations that the dancers will have to

follow regarding eating and taking

bathroom breaks. "We (as moralers) are just there

to entertain the dancers," said Jenny

Mudra ( '02).

During the marathon, there will

be theme hours, and there will be

various activities that relate to (he

theme of the hour. These activit ies, however , are

confidential to add to the suspense

of the event. " W e ' v e been p repar ing s ince

November, which has been kind of

tisht because most schools have an

entire year to plan for an event like

this," said Assistant Student Direc-

tor Keith Cravotta ( '02). This is the first year that Hope has

held a Dance Marathon, but there

are hopes of continuing the events

for years to come. "Our hope is to have it become

an annual 'event, and for it to be-

come a regular student organization

that people expect to happen every

year," Cravotta said. "Our main

goal is for this to be something that brings the campus and community

together." The idea to hold a Dance Mara-

thon at Hope originated from Diana

Breclaw. director of Student Activi-

ties, who started a Dance Marathon

at Bowling Green when she was a

graduate student there. "I think it's a great project, and

the s tudents here have sliown a

great interest in it." Breclaw said.

"It has already opened several stu-

dent leadership opportunities, and

I'm excited lo see the money being

raised for the children." Anyone interested in parl icipat- ,

ing as a moraler should contact

Mudra at 395-6388 for further in-

formation.

Biochem prof, wins award CARRIE ARNOLD campusbeat editor

When biochemistry professor Dr.

Maria Burnatowska-Hledin began

her current research project, she did not know that it would lead to an

award from the Dreyfous Founda-

tion. The Henry Dreyfous Teacher-

Scholar Award is a $60,000 grant

to support ihe research of a profes-

sor who. early in his or her career,

shows excellence in both research

and leaching at the undergraduate

level. " I 'm just very happy." Hledin

said. In order to be eligible for this

award. Hledin had to be a tenured

professor and have letters of recom-

mendation from both the heads of

the Departments" of Biology and

Chemistry. She also had lo have support out-

side of Hope College. Her project, which involves the

cellular receptor VACM-1. began in

earnest seven years ago , when

Hledin and her research g roup

cloned the gene for this protein. It

binds a hormone, which regulates

water absorption in kidney cells.

Since VACM-1

is more similar to

proteins that regu-

hopes to discover the m e c h a n i s m s

t h r o u g h w h i c h

VACM -1 interacts

with other vaso-

pressin receptors, as well as those in-

volved in cellular

signaling.

wi

"We are trying M . B u r n a t o w s k a - H l e d i n

to see how the re-ceptor we cloned regulates the cell

cycle," Hledin said. "We want to see

how it regulates cellular signaling

and permeability and how it relates

to water reabsorption in the kidney."

Her research, which has been

published in such journals as "Jour-nal of C l in ica l I n v e s t i g a t i o n , "

"Toxicology," and "The American

Journal of Kidney Disorders," was

presented last summer at a national

conference in San Francisco, and be presented again this summer

in San Diego. T h e D r e y f o u s

Award will help

support student in-

v o l v e m e n t in

Hledin's research.

Hledin has five

students working

in her lab each se-

mester, and four to

eight students do-

ing research dur-

ing the s u m m e r

months. She has also re-

ce ived a g ran t

f rom the Nat ional Inst i tutes of

Health. Hledin received her bachelor 's,

master's, and doctoral degrees from

M c G i l l Un ive r s i t y in O n t a r i o ,

Canada. Before coming to Hope,

she was also an associate professor

of physiology at Michigan State

University.

sludcnl body. "Every sludcnl goes through [ihc

CAARE] program," Bullman said.

"The queslion is, should ihcy go

Ihrough ihc cycic? How many limes do you have lo share wilh someone

whal 's decern and right? 11 people

are listening, they shouldn't have lo

go ihrough il again every year of their life. I think il should be suffi-

cienl." Gray feels il is up to the students

lo use the informat ion they are

given. "We can pul il in your hands,"

Gray said. "We can' l force you lo

use il." In cases of sexual harassment or

assault, the administration's greal-

est concern is for the well-being of

ihc parlies involved. "We want the process to be fair

lo all involved." Frost said. "And

we care equally for the safely of the

community." Bullman voiced concern for the

life-changing implications of the

victims of sexual assault. Gray, who is also the Director of

Counseling at Hope, is concerned

that each party involved in a case

of harassment or assault has an ad-

vocate for primary support and that all parlies have their right lo confi-

dentiality. "All of the people thai I have

talked to in six years of working at the Counseling Center who present

sexual assault as a concern are fear-

ful that il will not be kept confiden-

tial," Gray said. As Policy Director, Gray feels i f

is her responsibility lo insure that

all parties involved in a harassment

complaint receive fair and respect-

ful treatment. That impartiality is

ensured through confidentiality.

"This is such a confidential pro-

cess that not even I have all the names of people br ing ing forth

complaints," Gray said. "I never do.

That 's not pari of the deal."

Students' rights in sexual harass-

ment and sexual assault cases are

protected by the Sexual Harassment

Policy in several ways.

First, both victims and accused

harassers choose advocates, trained

students, members of the faculty or

staff who represent and support their charge through any and all

harassment proceedings.-Secondly, the policy itself is filled

with checks and balances lo make sure no one parly is favored in any

circumstance. "The checks and balances are

there for everyone's well being."

Gray said. The policy also presents options

for procedure in sexual harassment

cases. Complainants may opl for an in-

formal process where they, their

advocate and the alleged harasser and his or her advocate meet with a

trained mediator to discuss the situ-

ation. Students could choose an Admin-

istrative Review, where a commit-

tee meets separately with the com-plainant and the alleged harasser.

The committee attempts to under-stand both perspectives, decides on

the validity of the complaint, and

recommends any sanctions. A third option is to hold a formal

hearing. "It's like a grand jury." Gray said.

A hearing board listens to testi-mony from the alleged harasser, the

additional testimony of witnesses

and c los ing remarks f rom each

parly. Then the board convenes lo de-

cide the guill or innocence of the

alleged harasser as well as what

sanctions to impose. Both the Administrative Review

and formal hearing have appeal pro-

cesses for either parly involved. Also, using the Hope College

policy does not prevent anyone

from seeking legal council nor does il prevent a complainant from fil-

ing a report wilh the police. Gray reiterated that the Counsel-

ing Center is also available for any

student dealing with past or present

cases of sexual assault.

"We all have experience working

wilh survivors of sexual assault and

are a free and confidential service

for all students," Gray said. "We work wilh people who experienced

assault in high school, who experi-

enced il over the summer when they were away from school - not just

ihose who experience while they're

in school." Students who wish lo read Hope's

policy on Sexual Harassment and

Assault can obtain il ihrough the

office of Student Development. The

counseling office is also open lo any

students who wish lo learn more orr

the subject. "I am more than willing lo talk

lo groups, individuals," Gray said.

"All you need lo do is call me."

But after an alleged sexual as-

sault was reported in the Jan. 17 Anchor, the topic has been staring

Educator and Co-President of the

Women's Issues Organization. "It

reinforces lo me the fact thai people really don't know whal 's happen-

ing on campus." The alleged incident, which

caught some students by surprise, detailed an alleged assault that oc-

curred after a parly in early Octo-

ber. The victim accused several fra-

ternity member s of raping her

while she was incapacitated. "The girl obviously got herself

into a s i tua t ion she c o u l d n ' t

handle," said Andy Buchner ( '03). "What I wonder is how drunk the guys were. They were obviously

wrong and did something terrible

and if they were in control of them-

selves, that's even worse." Perhaps the largest assumption

being made on campus is that the

accused are guilty. "I haven't heard bqth sides of the

story," said Brian Dryfhout ( '00).

"We heard her side of the story, but

d o n ' t even k n o w her n a m e .

don't even know what exactly went

we gel the

concerned

s t u d e n t s worry lhat

the i s sue

will be ig-nored by

the s tu-

denls. "I think

l e a s e s of

sexual assaull| are shoved under the rug in every situation which only

makes il wor se , " said Mer id i lh

AkinsCOO). Trinh echoed Akins sentiment,

bul feels the fault lies in student 's

misconceptions. "Sexual assault is very much an

issue at Hope, bul il doesn ' t get

much allenlion because it's under-

repor ted ," Trinh said. "A lo t .of

people want lo believe Hope is a

protected environment." Professor of Psychology Jane

Dickie feels such statements are an

unfortunate misconception. "People may think that things are

swept under the rug." Dickie said. "I know in fact lhat ihey are dealt

with and lhat our sexual harassment

policy is a strong and good one.

Anyone who feels they've been vio-

lated can access that policy." Dickie feels the alleged incident

could be redeemed if it was used to

educate the campus. "This is an issue to discuss, not

this particular case, bul the way our

culture shapes altitudes towards re-

l a t i o n s h i p s b e t w e e n men and

women," Dickie said.

"Wilh the frequency that events

like these occur across campuses

nationwide, we need lo look at the large cultural issue, rather than a

few bad men." she said.

"What I hope is that we use ibis

as teachable moment. When trag-ed ies occur , they b e c o m e even

worse when nothing is learned."

Trinh also sees the case as a way to educate students aboul sexual as-

sault, bul worries students don't lis-

ten. "CAARE as an organization does

a lot to educale the campus," Trinh said. "No one wants to hear bad

news, sp they don' l listen." Despite Trinh's misgivings, some

students are getting the message.

"The football team attended an hour long session on sexual as-

sault ," said football player Rand Arwady ( '03). "It helped inform,

bul of course they could do more."

Akins witnessed a self-defense

class in Gilmore Hall. "I think we need lo make il seem

like i t ' s real at Hope Col lege ,"

Akins said. The lack of knowledge aboul

Hope policy as effected even the

educated. "I know i t ' s an issue every-

where," Arwady said. "I just don' l

know enough aboul it here."

I l e a r n e d a t H o p e Co l l ege Having a roommaie you hale

during your freshman year builds character, especially if

he gels his mom lo come and

yell al you • No mailer how many polls are laken, no mailer

how many glowing endorse-

menls and name brands, cafeieria food is slill cafeteria

food • Balman comics gel

cooler as you gel older • Don' l

ever ask your roommaie where

ihe slains on ihe fulon came from; you don' l wanl lo know •

Hockey games are amazing, and even more amazing are ihe

insults that students think up to

yell at the opposing team • A

toilet in an apartment with five

guys needs to be shaved •

Turning your underwear inside

out can stretch laundry for

another week • Dukes of

Hazard is on television two

limes a week • Repetition is

funny • Don't ever open a Tupperware container if you

can ' t remember what 's in it:

just throw it out • Go to any length lo avoid moving your

car after you 've found a good parking spot • Walking around

campus on stills attracts women

• Sneezing Je l l -0 out your nose

is more painful than it looks,

and probably does not attract women • Every year, everyone

gels riled up over some big issue, only to forget about it

entirely come May • You can always establish a bond with

someone by talking about the

cartoons of your childhood; if

Thundercals and the Smurfs

don'l work, try Jem • FDR was

right: ihere is nothing to fear

but bionic rats • Life is easier if you simply don ' l care about the

horrible, terrible oppression

you face each day • When the trash mound gets taller than

your roommaie, it 's lime for it

to be laken out • Repetition is funny • Lists of advice learned

in college are only written by

people who can't think of a column that week • Once a guy

gels a girlfriend, he 's never the same • Some people are cursed

with ihe ability to actually enjoy Dave Matthew's Band for

hours on end • The truly

valuable people in your life are

the ones who don ' l rush lo fill

the silences in a conversation • Red heads are the most beauti-

ful people ever • Ramen are

over-rated; I don' l care if you

could get 200 for a dollar,

they're awful • The only one

who is really listening is yourself, and even then it's

questionable • Watch out for

snakes • If you leave plain

bagels out long enough, they eventually become blueberry

bagels • The proper response to

the word "cluster" is a shiver,

even if it is referring lo a bomb or a breakfast cereal • Re-runs

of Night Rider can be more appealing than work • 1 cannot

11 y, no matter how hard I try •

The only one whose opinion matters is God • If you ' re tired,

' sleep. If your roommate is tired,

turn on all ihe lights and slay up

typing until 3 a.m. • The only

time you should feel forced lo

smile is for photographs. •

Repetition is funny • When

your roommates yell "hey, the table's on fire," take it seriously

• Cookie Monster will never

cease being hilarious • When

you begin lo doubt yourself,

remember that in the long run,

whatever you ' re doing really

doesn ' t matter • Always wash

the produce • Somebody is always worse off than you, so

quit complaining.

Powers echoed this idea of finding

a solution thai balances preserving

ihe game and safely. " I ' m not t ry ing to e l imina t e

Frisbee golf," Powers said. "That 's

not a solution." Powers' suggestions for making

Frisbee golf a safer activity are var-

ied. One method would be the lim-

iting of hours available for playing

ihe game. The hours between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays are the

prime hours when there is a greal

deal of traffic on campus that could potent ia l ly receive injury f rom

Frisbee golfers. Joel Toppen, professor of Politi-

cal Science and Frisbee golfer, sup-

ports ihe idea of limiting or elimi-

nat ing ihe DeWil l hole dur ing

working hours. "If s tudents ask me to play, I

w o n ' t play unti l a f t e r 5 , " said

Toppen. "Otherwise you have lo

stand around and wait to throw." Another idea Powers suggested

would be an alteration of the course,

to eliminate holes where there have been injuries or have high potential

for injuries. Especia l ly targeted would be

holes where there is limited sight

to where the Fr i sbee would be

thrown. The hole starling to the

north of DeWill and heading toward

the lamppost outside of Lubbers is

regarded as the most dangerous lo-

cation on the course. " I t ' s a very dange rous ho le , "

Powers said. "The Lubbers end of

campus has increasing traffic. There are too many walkways on this

side." Safety on the DeWill stairs hole

is in large part an issue of assuring

a line of sight for the Frisbee golf-

ers lo throw along. "At the very least, you should

send someone to the top of the

steps," Toppen said. "You should

never throw a Frisbee when you

can't see where it 's going." Increased responsibility among

Hope's Frisbee golfers appears as

an important part of any solution.

"There needs to be an ethic of

respect for others," Toppen said.

"That should be enough. It's a mat-

ter of respect." Powers also raised the possibil-

ity of posting signs al each Frisbee

golf hole which would list rules and

safety requirements of the game.

"This would be the most long

range and permanent solution and

would probably protect ihe college

as well," Powers said. But not everyone feels that a clear

establishment of a course on cam-

pus is a good idea. "Part of the beauty of the Frisbee

golf c o u r s e is its i n f o r m a l i t y , "

Toppen said. "It 's almost a folk tra-

dition. It 's been handed down. I

would hale lo lake that away." There are also objections to ques-

tions of the game's safely among students who play on Hope 's cam-

pus. "I can see the safety concerns,"

said John Kopchick ( '00) , a fre-

quent Frisbee golfer. "I 've almost hit a couple people, and I 've had

some f r iends get hit. But when

you ' re walking through campus,

you know that people are out there

playing, so you try to keep your eye

out." Kopchick suggested that the cur-

rent slate of Frisbee golf is safe

enough. "There are a few holes when you

don ' l see where you're throwing,"

Kopchick said. "As long as you yell

' fore ' then people know it's com-

ing." Object ions were also raised to

limitations on the lime available for

play as well as changes in the course

structure. "I d o n ' l think we need lo tell

Frisbee golfers what lime to play,"

Kopchick said. "People know that

the golfers are out there. I also don' l

think people would like a changed

course. It 's a great institution al

Hope . Eve ryone knows it, why change it? There's no need to change

what we 've already got." The question of how to implement

the changes surfaced as one of the

key barriers lo change. "If the administration were to say

'you can ' t play ihis hole, ' who's

going to stop somebody?" Kopchick said. "It 's just throwing a Frisbee

from point A to point B. Who's go-ing to enforce these rules? Public

Safely?" The sense among those concerned

is that any solution needs input from

both students and faculty.

"Ideally the solution would be

something that should be adopted by the people who play," said Toppen.

"Anything the school 's going to do

would need lo include the Frisbee

golfers. If not, people would com-

pletely ignore it. "The changes would be much

more effective if they were simply

adopted by the players themselves,

not handed down as an order from

the authorities."

DIABETES from I

eat something. I keep glucose lab-

lets in my room and backpack in

case I really need them," Dykstra

said. Having instant glucose on-hand

is one of ihe things the Health Clinic

requests of diabetic students. They

also ask them lo wear a medical

alert necklace or bracelet and make sure their Resident Assistant and

roommaie know of their condition. "Our students who have diabetes

for a while are usually very well

educated about their illness and its management." said Anne McKay,

one of the Registered Nurses at the

Health Clinic. "For the most pari,

students are very successful at man-aging their diabetes within the con-

text of college." "College life may make their dis-

ease more complicated to manage

because stress, change in diet and

sleep patterns, and increased expo-sure to illness all have an impact on the management of insulin-depen-

dent diabetes," McKay said. When it comes to mealtime, there

are multiple options for diabetics at

Phelps. Low-fat and sugar-free des-

serts are offered

al lunch and din-ner on Mondays,

Wednesdays, and

Fr idays . Sugar-

f r ee Je l lo and l o w - f a l sa lad

dressings are of-

fered daily, and other Phelps spe-

cialties, such as the new Panin i

Grill and sizzling salads are also healthy alternatives.

"All they have to do is talk lo us

about their needs and we do what-ever we can." said Phelps Chef and

Production Manager Bob Wiley,

who is also a diabetic. "I know where the hidden calories and sugar

is. We point them in the right direc-t ion. The variety we o f fe r here

•5.9% of the population of

the United States has dia-betes/That's 15.7 million

people.

•Hea l th care and other costs directly related to diabetes treatment,as well as' the costs of lose productivity, cost $98 b i l l ion annua l ly in America.

makes it easy for students with spe-

cial needs." Rebecca Jackson ( ' 01 ) agrees

that life as a person with diabetes is more complicated

in college. "It 's been hard

lo keep a regular schedule. What a

d i a b e t i c shou ld

do isn't compat-ible to c o l l e g e

l i f e . " J a c k s o n

said. "It can be a l i t t le m o r e d e -

manding at col-

l ege w h e r e so

many are free spirits." Jackson was diagnosed with dia-

betes when she was 19 months old

and as a result, has become very

educated about her disease. In re-turn. she likes lo educate others

about diabetes. One of the ways she does this is by taking two of her four

insulin shols at the table in Phelps.

"I don' l wanl to hide the fact that

I have diabetes," Jackson said. "I

like to be open about il so people

can ask me about il." Abou t once a week , Jackson

deals with low blood sugar level which can cause slurred speech,

shakes, mood changes, and even

hallucinations. "I 've had my share of low blood

sugar limes," Jackson said. "I usu-ally notice the signs so it 's not too

bad. I 've gone lo the emergency

room twice while al Hope." Meghan Breeden ( '03) visited the

hospital a few weeks ago because

of ihe complications she had with

her diabetes when she had the flu. "It was an adjustment coming to

college," Breeden said. " I have a lot of stress I didn't have at home

that effects my sugar. That stress

makes me have more severe highs

and lows." For years, Breeden's doctors in

Indianapolis had told her of an in-

sulin pump, which automatically

d e l i v e r s insu l in eve ry hour . Breeden, who was diagnosed with

diabetes when she was five, was fi-

nally convinced of the advantages

of such a device and has been at-

tending meetings since August lo

prepare for the insulin pump she

will have inserted on June 5. "It ' ll give me a lot more flexibil-

ity," Breeden said. "Right now, my four shots per day are supposed to

be at specific limes. Last semester was really hard with my schedule. This will help with control and will

br ing my blood sugar averages

down." Both Breeden and Jackson stress

that there have been good things

that have come out of their experi-ence with diabetes. Breeden says

she learned discipline, stress man-

agement, and determination from her experiences, while Jackson says

the disease brought her closer to

God.

Parade of pigs set for Holland downtown MAT T C O O K intermissior- editor

T h e s t reets of Hol land will be

than just tulips this summer . Resi-

dents and visitors to the city will

be greeted by the site

of artfully decorated,

life-size pigs.

T h e H o l l a n d A r e a

Ar t s C o u n c i l , in con - • # $

junction with downtown

Holland, has announced

an event called "P igs on Parade ."

M o d e l e d on a s imi l a r d i sp lay in

Ch icago involving cows , "P igs on

Parade" will feature several life-size

pigs that have been painted and de-

s igned by local ar t i s t s , and d i s -

played in the d o w n t o w n area .

"Wc thought it was h good idea

for the c o m m u n i t y , " sa id Ka thy

Wilson said. "Wc need to ask what

needs to be done first. D o we fig-

ure out what kind of communi ty w e

w a n t and then c o m e u p w i t h a

chapel program for that? Or do w e

try to have the communi ty adjust to

the chapel p r o g r a m ? "

W h i l e Wi l son a g r e e s wi th the

former quest ion, Bul tman bel ieves

Morawsk i , deve lopment coordina-

tor for the Hol land Area Arts Coun-

cil. "It gets the people in the c o m -

munity involved in the arts. Plus, it

would be great for the d o w n t o w n

area, especially for the tourists. This

is w h a t w e s a w

happen in the Chi-

cago one . "

A f t e r c o n c e i v -

ing of the project ,

it was not hard for

the Arts Council to settle

on the pig as their sub-

jec t . " W e w a n t e d to use an a n i m a l

people would recognize . When we

l o o k e d at the s o u r c e w h e r e w e

bought the pig, w e b e c a m e auto-

m a t i c a l l y a t t a c h e d to the p i g s , "

Morawsk i said.

There are also some local lie-ins

that he lped inf luence the decision.

that Hope would be bel ter off aim-

ing fo r a c o m m o n palh.

" M y ideal would be that w e feel

a p a r t n e r s h i p in C h r i s t e n d o m at

H o p e , " Bul tman said. "The m o r e

that we can be in par tnership, the

more opportuni ty we have lo assist

the deve lopmen t of our s tudents ."

B u l t m a n e m p h a s i z e d that a l -

"The Dutch use a lot*of pork, and

there have been a lot of pig fa rms

in the area," Morawsk i said.

However , there was one deciding

factor that sealed the decis ion for

the Arts Counci l .

"We just got al lached lo the little

guy. He ' s so cute ," Morawsk i said.

a l l t h e

pigs will basically look the same,

with one variation.

"There are some with their ears

up, and some with their ears down , "

though faculty m e m b e r s are not re-

quired to attend chapel , they were

hired with the expectat ion that they

would support the Christian aspects

of Hope College.

"I have a lways found someth ing

Sweeping Calvin this year

Pearson and other players feel the

win h e l p s l e g i t i m i z e H o p e as a

compet i to r in ihe league. 4 i think it means w e ' r e c o m i n g

t o g e t h e r t h i s y e a r a s a u n i t , "

Pearson said. "It a l so m e a n s the

program is on ihe r ise."

T e a m m a t e B r a d I r v i n g ( ' 0 0 )

agrees .

"Sweeping Calvin ihis year really

a f f i rms us as a real team," Irving

said. " I t ' s t ime lo take it a step fur-

ther and start taking some league

wins . We can ' t necessari ly be con-

lent wilh beat ing Calv in ."

Despi te the previous win and the

lopsided score , this game was still

the f ierce rivalry it has been in the

past.

" I t ' s pretty intense. There is defi-

n i te ly a d i f f e r e n t f e e l i ng in the

l o c k e r r o o m b e f o r e the C a l v i n

game , " All said.

Pearson agrees .

"I think no mat ter whal the score

is, the Hope - Calvin rivalry will be

s t rong."

f r o m the

Hope team

was a key

f a c t o r in

t h e i r l o s s

to the

Black Bears .

"I d o n ' t th ink they ( O a k l a n d )

were better prepared, we w e ' r e just

e m o t i o n a l l y d r a i n e d , p h y s i c a l l y

d ra ined , " Pearson said.

Injur ies and equ ipment problems

a l s o p l a y e d a r o l e in the l o s s .

Through the course of the game, Alt

and C h a d B e a v e r ( ' 0 1 ) r ece ived

concuss ions , and Beacom suffered

f r o m a b leeding tongue. Also, Eric

Terpstra ( ' 03 ) and Von Eilzen had

to deal wilh equ ipment problems.

Desp i te the p rob lems Irving sees

the biggest reaspn fo r the loss as a

lack of motivat ion f r o m the Hope

team.

" E v e r y o n e ' s jus t get t ing ready to

end the season ," Irving said.
