DANA LAMERS infocus editor Anne Bakker-Gras pul the final touches on her resignation letter Tues- day afternoon. Bakker-Gras will end her 12 year term here on Oct. 9, Homecoming day. She leaves Hope as an alumna, and a 12 year employee; consisting of two years on the residential staff and ten years as Director of Student Activi- ties. Bakker-Gras leaves Hope to lake a job as a Walsworth Publishing Repre- sentative, which is a yearbook pub- lishing company. "I leave partly for a new challenge," she said. "I have done free-lance de- sign work and presenting, and it will free up more lime for that. Til also have my summers off and more lime with my kids. A n d I II still be work- ing with high school and college stu- dents." While at H o p e , Bakker-Gras has advised such organi- zations as In- terfralernily and Pan : Hcl- lenic coun- cils. the Milestone. Nykerk, the Pull, and Social Activities Committee (SAC) and she has welcomed to the campus thousands of first-year stu- dents while heading orientation activi- ties. "She is the most important resource any organization has on campus," said Anthony Perez ('98). Perez will work as a fellow em- ployee of Bakker-Gras as he also has taken a job with Walsworth after his graduation from Hope this past spring. "She is basically the reason I work in the yearbook industry, because of the impact she had on me as the edi- tor of the Milestone," Perez said. "She's impacted so many students at Hope College during her time here." Bakker-Gras is sentimental when she thinks about no longer working with the students of Hope College. "That's why I love my job, and the hardest part of leaving," said Bakker- Gras. "When I look around my office, at the pictures on the walls, and the years of students I've worked with, I realize where students have gone, and what they have done with their lives. Things like that make me excited about what students can do because of extra-curricular activities. Being part of that is really special." Students and faculty were saddened by the news of Bakker-Gras' resigna- tion. more RESIGNATION on 7 A. Bakker-Gras W Anchor photo by Johnathan Muenk MULLING IT OVER : Dr. Steven Bouma-Prediger of the Religion department spoke on the influence of faith on learning on RISE'S second meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 16. RISE strives to combine spirituality and learning nizalion. Instead the group hopes to receive input from a variety of differ- ing faiths. "It's hard for me to see why the col- lege would not warmly embrace this type of group," said Dr. David Myers, professor of Psychology. "I think that reflecting on how our personal faith impacts our academic lerning is what the heart of Hope College is all about." Schneider emphasized her hopes that students of all faiths will feel wel- come and comfortable in the group. "Campus ministries is filling a need that many students have, but they may not meet the spiritual needs of all stu- dents." she said. "There are a lot of students who need a support struc- ture." The group held its'second weekly meeting on Wednesday. Sept. 16 at the home of Dr. Myers, who advises the group with Dr. Lynn Japinga of the Religion department. "The second meeting went really well." Schneider said. "Eric and I tried to hit on topics that have been popu- lar in the past and that maybe haven't gotten the attention they deserve." Approximately 30 students attended the meeting to discuss how faith im- pacts learning and to hear Dr. Steven SARA E LAMERS campusbeat editor Although Hope's campus may em- body a variety of contrasting reli- gions, many students share a com- mon belief that discussion of faith issues is healthy. Such students have formed an organization called Ref- uge in Spiritual Expression, or RISE, in hopes of fostering questions and discussion. "Currently we are in the process of trying to put together a constitu- tion to be accepted by the adminis- tration and Campus Life Board," said Eric Goodman ('00), one of the group's founding members. According to the tentative consti- tution. the purpose of RISE is to "pro- vide both a supportive religious en- vironment and to promote an integra- tion between faith in God and learn- ing." "Things look really positive a n d it looks like we should be accepted by the Campus Life Board later this week." said Amanda Schneider ('99), founding member. "I haven't felt any animosity, which is great. We want to make everyone feel welcome" Members of the group stressed that RISE is neither an anti-chapel group nor an exclusively "Christian" orga- more RISE on 2 Conflict sparked Chapel Review team holds open forum to hear student and faculty opinion on the chapel program. DANA LAMERS infocus editor A team of four evalutors wrapped up their three day stay on Hope's cam- pus evaluating the Chapel program. While here the evaluators' job was aimed at listening to student and fac- ulty opinions and concerns. They will leave a written report, to be discussed by the Board of Trustees at its Octo- ber meeting. The evaluation team consisted of two former presidents of the General Synod, Charles VanEngen and Will- iam Brownson; one former chaplain at Hope College. Peter Semeyn; and the former Vice President of Student Affairs at Calvin College, Jenny DeJong, who had administrative re- sponsibility for the chapel program there. An open-forum, a chance for any- one from the Hope Community to express their concerns to the team of evaluators, was held both both Mon- day and Tuesday afternoons. The fo- rum was advertised over faculty e- mail and was posted on KnowHope Monday morning. The forum was set up to give those indviduals a voice, who may have not receieved the chance to speak to the evaluators during one of their many scheduled meetings on campus. "Our purpose is to find out what needs to be done to strengthen the ministry of the Chaplain's program." said one of the evaluators before the forum. The forum on Monday was at- tended by a handful of faculty and very few students. The forum on Tuesday filled the Mass Auditorium and a microphone was passed within the audience while several individu- als stood to give their viewpoints.

Lieutenant Colonel Consuelo Castillo Kickbusch presented "Communicating Across Cultures" on Thursday, Sept. 17 in the DeWitt Center Main Theatre. This was the college's first Cesar E. Chavez Address and was held in con- junction with national Hispanic Heri- tage Month, which runs Sept. 15 through Oct. 15. D. Wesley Poythress, Director of Multicultural Life at Hope, said that the new series is envisioned as an an- nual early fall event. "I would like to make this a new tradition at Hope College," Poythress said. At the address, the wel- come was given by Poythress and Rev. Andy Fierro of the Crossroad Church gave the opening prayer. Minerva Perez ('01) a member of the Hispanic Student Organization gave a brief history of the life of Cesar E. Chavez. "His vision of hope and courage is an inspiration to all." Perez said. Chavez, who died in 1993 at the age C. Kickbusch of 66. played a leading role in the 1960s in organizing the nation's mi- grant Farm Workers Asso- ciation and was the first head of the National Farm Workers Association, later the United Farm Workers. Kickbusch was the key- note speaker. "I want each student to know that he is special and unique when he comes to one of my lectures," she said.

T h e march is in tended to raise

Each time the procession stops,

there will already be a candle set

up at the site. Different speakers

will talk to the g roup at each place.

"Mos t of the people tend to talk

the quality of Hope as well as the

Kara S p a m a n ("02) at tended the

lecture with the m e m b e r s of her

first year seminar class.

"I thought Kickbusch ' s speech

was good. She taught us about re-

specting eve ryone e lse ' s posi t ions

and perspec t ives ," she said. "I re-

alized that I have it pretty good in

life compared to others. Her speech

showed m e all of the things that I

take for granted, especially when

she w a s talking about her father

working in the fields for only $ 1 0

a day. It really makes me appreci-

ate all that I have ."

D. Wesley Poythress, Director of

Mult icultural Life , felt the recog-

nition given to Chavez was long

overdue .

"We have a s ignif icant number

of Hispanics in this communi ty . "

he said. " W h e n you look at what

the g roup to consider and discuss ,

"unspir i tual" to ask quest ions about

one ' s faith and if relating matters of

"Quest ioning God is not a sign of

"I found the discussion interest-

said Katie Paarlberg ( ' 02 ) . "A lot

of people at Hope seem to have

very similar bel iefs and d o n ' t get

Several faculty are interested in

K n a p p ' s

appearance brought the crowd lo its

feel. Her presence drew everyone ' s

attention for the entire evening. As

she s t rummed her guitar, her voice

brought glory to God. While the

songs were nothing short of spec-

tacular, her stories reminded us lhat

she was not up on stage for herself,

but rather for God.

"In my ministry for the church,

i t ' s so impor t an t lo me that we

try to communicate , having an hon-

esty with God , because that 's what

He wants ," Knapp said. "To be able

to share your heart honestly and to

encourage others, lo be honest is

really what it 's all about for me.

Even though we are Christ ians, we

need grace ."

W I O helps "Take Back the Night , ,

Hello f rom the W o m e n ' s Is-

s u e s O r g a n i z a t i o n ! F i r s t o f f ,

w e ' d like lo lhank the Anchor for

al lowing us the opporlunily for

free publicity.

The W o m e n ' s Issues Organi-

zation has been one of the most

misunders tood organizat ions on

c a m p u s in recent years . A com-

mon mispercep t ion is the idea

that w e c o m e t o g e t h e r for an

hour every Thursday evening to

gel in our week ' s a l lowance of

male -bash ing . When most stu-

dents hear " W I O " they see vi-

s ions of bra-burn ing and men-

hating female radicals .

In realily, W I O is a s tudent or-

ganizat ion open to both men and

w o m e n . O u r g o a l is to r a i s e

awareness about the inequali t ies

that exist be tween women and

men. On a campus dominated by

women , this is especial ly impor-

tant and our intention is lo ensure

lhal each of those women has the

rights she is entitled lo. I t ' s vital to

r emember these inequali t ies are nol

jus t a " w o m a n ' s p r o b l e m " ; bo lh

men and women have contr ibuted

lo the problem and both need lo be

a part of the so lu t ion . We are a

g roup that a ims lo bring awareness

of and hope for issues lhal concern

not only women , but the c o m m u -

nily as a whole .

One of the biggest issues facing

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

women, is violence. W I O organizes

the annual "Take Back ihe Night ,"

which is a protest against violence

and will be held this year on Thurs-

day, Sept. 24 in the Pine G r o v e at 9

p.m. We will have a candlelight pro-

cession around campus , s topping at

s i tes w h e r e sexual a s sau l t s have

occurred in the past. This serves lo

br ing h o m e to Hope s tudents the

realily lha l sexual assaull isn't

s o m e t h i n g that h a p p e n s e lse-

where; it 's a problem lhal occurs

on our campus .

We have a variety of activities

p l a n n e d for ihe 1998-99 aca-

demic year and we encourage the

s tuden t b o d y to gel invo lved .

W I O m e e t s e v e r y T h u r s d a y

e v e n i n g at 5 : 3 0 p . m . in the

Phe lps Eas t L o u n g e . Keep in

mind lhal this year ' s Critical Is-

s u e s S y m p o s i u m f o c u s e s on

"Fai th and F e m i n i s m " and be

wa tch ing for upcoming evenls

sponsored by the W o m e n ' s Is-

sues Organizat ion.

This semester the Anchor will

feature guest columns from dif-

ferent stiulent organizations. Any

student organization that wishes

to run a guest column should

Senior questions college*s policy on drinking punishment To the Editor:

Allow me to c o m m e n c e by slat-

ing that I am a 22 year-old senior at

H o p e w h o res ides of f c a m p u s . I

have en joyed m y lime here and am

immensely grateful for ihe educa-

tion the facul ty has provided m e

with. However , a f t e r reading the

article regarding dr inking and the

co l lege policies, I have never been

more incensed and disgusted with

ihe administrat ion at Hope than I

am at this momen t .

I respeel the school ' s policies as

far as on -campus behavior is con-

c e r n e d , but I am a s t o u n d e d that

Hope has ihe authority, much less

the gall, to punish students for off-

c a m p u s behavior. If a s tudent re-

ceives an MIP, the legal authori t ies

are punishing them. Where is the

legal siatute granting Hope the right

to punish a person for behavior lhal

occurs outs ide ihe campus per im-

elers? W h a t about a s tudent w h o

lives with the parents and receives

an MIP? Does H o p e see fit to pun-

ish this person as wel l? Or is it only

those u n l u c k y s l u d e n l s w h o are

forced to live on campus for the du-

ration of their fo rmat ive years at

Hope who are the recipients of such

c h a s t i s e m e n t ? W h a t a b o u t t h e

speeding tickets I routinely receive?

Tha t is cons idered by the City of

H o l l a n d to be b r e a k i n g the law.

Would Hope like lo give m e f if teen

hours of communi ty service for vio-

lating this city code? It is absolutely

r idiculous that Hope is a t tempting

to govern the o f f - campus behavior

of its students. I do not know about

the rest of the col lege communi ty ,

but to m e the fact lhat Hope is ex-

ercising this authority over students

is ee r i ly r e m i n i s c e n t of G e o r g e

O r w e l l ' s 1984.

By venturing o f f - c a m p u s to par-

t i c ipa te in ac t iv i t i e s the c o l l e g e

Alumnus claims quotes were misused To the Editor:

T h o u g h I find lhal the quotes at-

tributed lo m e in the article "Vienna

experience provides g rowth" (Sept.

16th issue) are very cleverly ma-

nipulated to fit the context of the

wri ter ' s intentions, I am nonethe-

less quite disturbed that my quotes

are forced into a context they were

nol given in. In fact, I find the con-

text into which they are made lo fit

a far depar tu re f rom the or iginal

context of the essay submit ted by

me about my academic year over-

s e a s - a n e s s a y f r o m w h i c h ihe

quotes were taken without my ex-

press permiss ion

In speaking lo the wr i te r ' s super-

vising editor, he indicated lhat such

a practice is a c o m m o n occur rence

at the Anchor, t ha t q u i t e o f t e n

quotes are laken f rom submiss ions

and used according to the needs of

a story.

Accord ing to him, my implicit

penniss ion lo reprint any part of my

s u b m i t t e d e s s a y in a n y c o n t e x t

deemed appropr ia te by the Anchor

accompanied submiss ion of the es-

say.

I f ind this policy dangerous for

and injurious lo the integrity of jour-

nalism.

I had hoped lhat my submit ted

essay, a l lowing for minor editorial

d e e m s u n b e c o m i n g to H o p e stu-

dents , the s tudents a re respect ing

the policies of college. But when

Hope begins punishing students for

o f f - c a m p u s behavior, the adminis-

tration is over s tepping its bounds.

Perhaps students should just be-

gin dr inking in their rooms. If they

are go ing to have to do the t ime

anyway, they might as well slay on

campus and not have to pay the fine.

T h e goal of a liberal arts educa-

tion is to have students think criti-

cal ly for t hemse lves . With Hope

acting as "Big Brother ," they are

str ipping the s tudents of this privi-

lege and demeaning them as adults.

It is t ime for the administrat ion lo

gel a grip on reality and let s tudents

d e a l w i t h the c o n s e q u e n c e s of

MIP ' s and simply worry about what

goes on on campus .

C o u r t n e y Dippe l ( '99)

ad jus tments bul otherwise retaining

its original character, would have

been published as was. Understand-

ing lhal the Anchor is select ive of

what it publ ishes . I can understand

the decision lhal w a s made nol lo

print my essay in ils entirety bul lhal

quotes were misused and lhal my

exper ience in ihe Vienna Summer

School as depicted in "Vienna ex-

perience. . is such a gross mis-

representat ion of the exper iences I

w a s trying lo share in my original

essay and are abuses I find intoler-

able.
