Social science research center to open in 1990 by Kristin Michel staff writer

The fall of 1990 will mark the birth of a complete social science research center at Hope College. This center is hoped to become a valuable source of research for Hope students and faculty and also the surrounding Holland and western Michigan area.

Planning it now is a Steering Committee made up of represen-tatives from all social science disciplines and led by Dr. Roger

J. Nemeth, professor of sociology and initial director of the pro-gram.

Nemeth is eagerly anticipating the start of the center. He said, "It 's something that many of us in the social sciences have been looking forward to for a very long time. We're all very excited."

The disciplines which will be directly involved in this center are business, communications, economics, education, physicial education, political science,

psycology, social work and sociology.

The initiative for this social research center came out of Dr. Nemeth's interest of a few years ago to create a research center at Hope and a recent proposal by Herman Miller, Inc., to start a center for creative leadership on campus. A creative leadership center would promote a method of management among students called participatory manage-ment. It was decided that a creative leadership center would

be too narrow for Hope but that this proposal combined with Nemeth's idea would be a viable and valuable contribution to the college.

Three goals have been deter-mined for the center. The first is to promote student research. A greater emphasis will be placed on teaching actual research methods and facilitating student research. Among the plans pro-posed to achieve this goal is to create a social science research course of which a major compo-nent will be for the students to produce an annual Holland Area Social Survey (HASS). Students will be responsible for designing the survey, administering it, analyzing it and finally reporting it possibly by means of an area newspaper.

designed to achieve is to create a repository for demographic , economic and sociological data of the local community and of Western Michigan. There are plans to have the census of Ot-t a w a County and Wes te rn Michigan on computer, to create a data library of these areas and to put out a newsletter on a periodic basis t rack ing the economic health of Western Michigan.

A goal of a total of $1 million is set to create an endowment out of which this program will be run. So far, $300,000 has been raised, $200,000 of which is the initial Herman Miller, Inc., contribu-tion.

By running the center off the earnings from an endowment,

Students will also be able to use the center for independent study and may be paid for research done for local organizations which request it.

Fredericks is a vocal coach and a professor at Berkshire Choral Institute. Floyd and Aschbrenner are Hope music faculty.

Other plans include setting up internships with local agencies or companies through the center and offering workshops and training sessions for students. Students will also be able to use the center for independent study and may be paid for research done for local organizations which request it.

A second goal for the center is to open to the faculty, "an avenue or conduit to pursue their professional development," said Nemeth. Often in the past faculty and Hope in general have been approached by organizations to do research for them. The center will provide a forum for this and also for independent faculty research.

The third ^oal the center is

not only is the future of the center guaranteed, but those resear-ching will be enabled to carry out projects which cover the span of more than one year. This will allow for larger and more in-depth studies rather than ones dependent on income raised in any one year.

Eventually, the center is plan-ned to be housed in the Van Zoeren building. Regardless of whether or not the full endow-ment is raised or rooms are set aside, the program will officially start next fall. Such activities as promoting its services to agen-cies and companies, bringing in na t iona l and i n t e r n a t i o n a l speakers, developing a data library and conducting seminars will begin.

Muste lecturer questions press

November 15, 1989

by Mpine Qakisa news editor

Hope College alumnus Glenn Pontier in his lecture on "There's no free press unless you've got one," asked if the press is objec-tive in dealing with issues in society.

Addressing a packed Winants auditorium on November 9, Pontier said that his question is not meant to attack the press, but examine the society.

Pontier who is a writer, editor, e n v i r o n m e n t a l i s t a n d a storyteller addressed the sixth annual Hope College A.J. Muste lecture, in a commemoration of Muste, an early peace activist and a Hope a l u m n u s who graduated in 1905.

"Muste had a brilliant analysis and the ability to focus and translate what he read in the media," Pontier said. He ex-a m i n e d the way we com-municate truth that asks ques-tions.

"The interesting thing about newspaper business is that if it doesn't appear in print then it didn't happen," he commented.

He questioned the role of the media in as far as what is con-sidered news. He gave an exam-ple of a county jail story where four people died in 18 months and prisoners rioted to get medical care, the publisher of 'The River Reporter', a small town local newspaper, said that the big newspapers dismissed the story as if it never happened.

"That 's typical," he said, 44a newspaper in the area sees and covers news, what is doesn't see isn't news."

He told the audience that in the 1990's, five to ten giant corpora-tions will control most of the

n e w s p a p e r s , r a d i o s , videorecorders, and television. "Economic interests" exact the power of ideas that corporations have.

"Corporations pursue their ready interest as any dictator-ship, he added. They control everything from newsroom to news delivery.

"The problem with the media is not free enterprise, but lack of it," he emphasized. MThe ac-quisition that we read about is that the media is limited."

"What happened to the quality of what, where, when, who and why, the five W's of good repor-ting?" he asked.

"The job of the press," he claimed, "is to ask questions." We are cultural workers and we need to examine the cultures in which we live.

Dealing with the question of freedom, Pontier compared the United States with other coun-tries, talking about his ex-periences, he said, "I live in the United States, but I was put in jail for things I said, my house was burned by a suspicious fire and I was constantly threatened. Therefore, freedom is a relative concept."

"What is it that power has a terrible time with f reedom?" he asked.

Address ing this ques t ion , Pontier said that the Soviet Union and China respond to the question of freedom with the understanding of power their way and so do we.

"Where are these questions in the media? " h e asked.

Pontier told the audience that the media has to challenge politics and government's power, analyze post-elections, and ques-

fc' V "'

K i i

m

tion democracy. He said the country is subsidis-

ing tobacco that kills more than crack and other drugs. "We are a drug cluture that promotes tak-ing a pill or chemical that will heal us."

Addressing the issue of im-migrants which he thinks the media is not questioning, Pontier said, "We are a nation of im-migrants and we seem to have a hard time dealing with im-migran t s "

Talking about political cam-paigns,he said campaigns are based on who builds more cells than the other. "The social func-tionis rewarded by a politician who can build the greatest number of cells "

He also raised the issue of what we eat and how we eat as a pro-found ethical question. "That is an objective truth that dinner has to have potatoes, meat and vegetables."

Approaching a question of han-dicaps, he said that in 1989 we still have problems in dealing with the handicapped.

Pontier also pointed out that television is a powerful drug because it has the same effect as any other drug. "Television has a place for people who need j

bit of entertainment." Advertising also "has a powei •

ful image" and we do not ques-tion its power from the news point of view.

He concluded by challenging the media to examine the world subjectively because the world is controlled objectively. "Our job is not to let that happen."

approves accounting major

Verhey and others publish book on medical ethics through Calvin Center

(HOPE) - Allen Verhey, pro-fessor of religion at Hope Col-lege, was one of five authors in-volved in writing "Christian Faith, Health, and Medical Prac-tice," which was published in Oc-tober by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company of Grand Rapids.

The book was written by an in-terdisciplinary team of scholars under the auspices of the Calvin Center for Christian Scholarship. Current medical-ethical issues examined in the book include genetic control, abortion, sur-rogate parenting, scarcity and health care, AIDS and death and dying.

Verhey's participation in the

book was an extension of an on-going research interest. "I 've been working on medical ethics for a very long time, so when the Calvin Center was going to do something on medical ethics I applied and was accepted ," Verhey said. Verhey added that

he enjoyed the year-long project. The other four authors involv-

ed in the book are Hessel Bouma III, professor of biology at Calvin College in G r a n d R a p i d s ; Douglas Diekema, chief resident in the department of pediatrics at the University of Wiconsin at Madison; Edward Langerak, professor of philosophy and chai rman of the philosophy department at St. Olaf College in

Minnesota; and Theodore Rott-man, professor of sociology at Calvin College.

Verhey is an expert on the ethics of medicine, John Calvin, the Heidelberg catechism and the New Testament.

Verhey has been a member of the Hope faculty since 1975. He earned his bachelor's degree at Calv in Col lege in 1966, a bachelor's of divinity degree f r o m C a l v i n T h e o l o g i c a l Seminary in 1969 and his doc-torate from Yale University in 1975.

"Christian Faith, Health, and Medical Pract ice" is available in paperback for $19.95. Copies a re available at the Hope-Geneva Bookstore.

On Tuesday, November 7,1989, the Curriculum Committee ap-proved a proposal from the Department of Economics and Business Administration for a new Accounting major at Hope College. This proposal, which was received by the Registrar 's office on October 6, 1989, is pre-sently in fron t of the Academic Affairs Board waiting for ap-proval in order to go on in the p r o c e s s of b e c o m i n g a n established major here at Hope.

At the present time, students interested in accounting at Hope College who wish to go on to take the Michigan CPA exam acquire a Business Administration degree with a concentration in Accoun-ting.

The problem with this, accor-ding to advocates of the proposal, is that the existing concentration has no official recognition by the administration and does npt ap-

pear on the student's transcript or diploma. The establishment of the new major will change that.

"This proposed change from a concentration in accounting to an Accounting Major is primarily a name change...no new courses would be required," states the proposal. Nor would, according to Jim Keisler, the head of the Economics and Business Ad-ministration Department any new instructors be needed.

"We have spent the past few years building up the depart-ment, said Heisler, and now they are ready to take on the ma-jor.

Herbert Martin, one of the three C.P.A.'s in the department, is fairly optimistic about the pro-posal. "We hope to have students graduating this year with an ac-counting major, but we just aren't sure ."

In the past seven years, Hope has had 145 graduates with con-centrations in accounting. *

DeYoung receives first Ben Franklin fund-raising award

(HOPE) - Robert N. DeYoung, vice president for advancement at Hope College, has received the 1969 Benjamin Franklin Award for fund raising management from the West Michigan Chapter of the National Society of Fund-Raising Executives (NSFRE).

The award was presented Fri-day, Nov. 10, at a ceremony in Grand Rapids held by the society in conjunction with National Philanthropy Day.

The chapter created the award this year to recognize an outstan-ding professional in the fund-raising field. The award is presented to a fund-raising ex-ecutive that has demonstrated creative and exemplary leader-ship, a continuing involvement in professional development ac-tivities and a commitment to the organization's code of ethics and professional practives.

The Benjamin Franklin Award is so named because Franklin is credited with being the first per-son in the United States to pro-mote philanthropy.

"When I think of Bob DeYoung as head of our advancement of-

fice, I think of his great loyalty to and affection for Hope College,M

said Dr. John H. Jacobson, presi-dent of Hope College. "That af-fection has permeated the feel-ings our constituencies have toward Hope College. Bob knows Hope College. He knows and loves the people."

"Bob has worked at mastering his profession," Jacobson noted. "He came into the profession at a strategic point in the college's history and has developed a pro-gram that is highly respected throughout the higher education advancement community."

Kermit Campbell, chairperson of the advancement committee of the Hope College Board of Trustees, echoed Jacobson 's feelings. "If you couple Bob's en-thusiasm and love for Hope Col-lege with his personal values, you have a winning combination - and Hope comes out the win-ner," said Campbell, who is also group vice president for Dow Coming in Midland.

Under DeYoung's leadership, Hope College has been recogniz-ed nationally six times in the past

12 years for outstanding fund raising management among the nation's colleges and universities by the council for Advancement and Suppor t of E d u c a t i o n (CASE) and the USX Founda-tion. During 1987 and 1988, the college received the CASE/USX award for the best total develop-ment program among all U.S. undergraduate colleges with more than 10,000 alumni. It was the first time that any college in the United States received the honor two years in a row.

As a direct result of DeYoung's leadership and efforts, the col-lege's endowment has grown from $2.8 million in 1974 to $24.2 million in 1989, and more than $30 million has been raised for new construction and facility im-provments in the past decade.

Additionally, 44 percent of the college's alumni participated in the Alumni Annual Fund during 1988-89, compared to a national average of 34 percent for liberal arts colleges and universities like Hope.

Channel 35 to air program on Yugoslavia

(HOPE) - "Yugoslavia: Land of Contrast," a television pro-gram produced at Hope College, will air on WGVU-TV, Channel 35, on Sunday, Nov. 19, at 3:30 p.m.

The program's content focuses on the mix between East and West (Islam and the Eastern Christian Church) and on the tex-t u r e s b r o u g h t a b o u t by g e o g r a p h y ( b e t w e e n t h e lowlands, the highlands and the Adriatic Coast). Also examined are the constant shifts in political approaches as the nat ion 's republics came under different occupying powers throughout history and that influence on the lives and outlook of the people.

The program further focuses

on the challenges to the average Yugoslavian in the change from country life to city life - attemp-ting to balance the old, simpler Eastern values with the new, technologically more advanced, but in human t e rms more limited. Western ones.

Professors John Tammi and Ted Nielson of Hope College worked with Professor Nicholas Koljevic of the University of Sarajevo in collecting video tape footage for the project during a concentrated four-week period in 1967. Additional interviews and shooting took place in Holland, before and after the overseas visit, with editing completed at Hope.

The program was developed

both from the research of Kol-jev ic , who w a s a v is i t ing member of the Hope faculty from 1966-67, into Yugoslav history and culture and from in-depth in-terviews with Yugoslav nationals and Americans who have visited and studied in the country.

What comes through in the tape is a country with a varied and complex history and culture facing a challenging future. 4 4 T h e r e is a s a y i n g t h a t Yugoslavia is a country with two alphabets, three languages, four religions, five nationalities and six republics...a land with old h is tory and young ideas,* ' observes the narrative, written and delivered by Koljevic.

Newspaper gets student elections postponed

(CPS) - The president of the College of DuPage postponed stu-dent government elections until Nov. 7-9 because he thought the campus paper didn't have time to c o v e r c a m p a i g n i s s u e s thoroughly enough.

Ken Harris, dean of student af-fairs a t the Glen EUyn, III, and c a m p u s P r e s i d e n t H a r o l d McAninch decided to postpone the elections after Stephanie Jor-dan, edi tor of the DuPage

Courier, told McAninch she was concerned that there was not enough time to let students know about the issues.

The voting, normally held the third week after school begins, was rescheduled for Nov. 7-9.

"It 's annoying to have the elec-tions postponed without any say," said Jeff Russell, president of the student government, of McAninch's novel experiment in democracy.

" I 'm a student doing the best job that I can. If they expect me to be like an editor a t the Chicago Sun Times, they are asking a bit much," countered Jordan.

Even so, Jordan believes the postponement isn't such a bad idea. "It 's good for us because it gave us time to put more in the paper, and it 's good for student g o v e r n m e n t b e c a u s e t h e students were more informed," shesaid.

Sunday's handshake, a f te r three days of heady reunion for mi l l ions of E a s t G e r m a n s separated for four decades by a now-collapsing order, was as symbolic a gesture as any since East Germany's leaders let their people go.

Student loan default rate skyrockets (CPS) - A new government audit that shows an alarming increase in the default rate for Sup-plemental Loans for Students (SLS) may help build political enthusiasm in Congress for a bill to bar first-year students from getting such loans, sources say.

"It 's not a very sophisticated way to reduce defaults, but at least it works," said Philip Rever of the Wahington, D.C. based Higher Educaton Assistance Program, the nation's largest guarantor of student loans.

Hie measure generally is aim-ed at cutting off studetns at pro-prietary, for-profit trade schools.

The SLS program provides market-rate loans to students w h o q u a l i f y f o r o t h e r government-guaranteed loans such as Stafford Loans.

Japan, Hope exchange students

May-June term provides unique experience by Dr. Roger Nemeth guest writer

This year marks the 26th of the student exchange program bet-ween Hope and Meiji Gakuin University. Hope's relationship with Meiji Gakuin, however, dates as far back as 1877 when the schools headed by J.C. Hep-burn and Reformed Church minister Dr. S R. Brown joined to form Union Seminary (the precursor of what is today Meiji Gakuin). While the two institu-tions have been involved in many joint ventures over the past 112 years, the most significant and long-lasting has been the student exchange program.

In 1%5, Meiji Gakuin began sending students annually to Hope for a five-week intensive course of study of American culture and society. Over 500 Japanese students have since studied at Hope. The first true mutual exchange of students began in 1980 when Prof. J ames Piers (Sociology and Social Work) led a group of 11 students on the first Hope May-June Term in Japan. Over the past decade, over 100 Hope students have par-ticipated in this program.

Leading the 1990 May-June Term will be Jon Huisken, dean for a c a d e m i c s e r i v c e s and registrar, and Roger Nemeth, professor of sociology and social work. Both leaders have travell-ed extensively abroad, and each has experience in Japan and East Asia.

Huisken noted that he was very willing to accept leadership of this year ' s program. "I have been interested in Japan for a long t ime," said Huisken. "My contact with the many Japanese students we've had here has been pleasant and I was interested in finding out more about them and their homeland. My trip to Japan in 1986 heightened that interest and I knew then that if the oppor-tunity arose, I would love to

return. Japan is, in a sense, still mysterious, and 1 would like to know still more about it and its people."

Nemeth added, "Because of its rapid rise in the world economy, Amer i cans in genera l , and students and professors in par-ticular, need to become better in-formed about Japan. This pro-gram offers us at Hope the best opportunity we will ever have to study Japanese society.' '

Students have the opportunity to take the five-week seminar for variable credit. All participants will be granted three credit hours for IDS 280 (Seminar on Contem-p o r a r y I s s u e s in J a p a n ) . S t u d e n t s h a v e t he op t i on , however, of researching a topic of their choice for three addi-tional hours of credit. Past par-ticipants have been granted credit in many areas including biology, business, economics, education, fine arts, religion and sociology.

'This program offers us at Hope the best opportunity we will ever have to study Japanese society.'

Research topics have ranged from the production of Japanese Sake, to single-parent families, to preschool education in Japan. According to Nemeth, "This pro-gram offers students the ra re op-portunity to explore topics of in-terest within a non-western set-ting."

The May-June Term begins with students flying out of Grand Rapids on May 10. Upon arrival in Japan, participants will meet students from Meiji Gakuin at a seaside resort not far f rom Tokyo. According to Nemeth, the role of the Japanese students is to "help us become accustomed to Japan and to assist students

with their research projects." The same Japanese students will travel to the U.S. in August for their stay at Hope.

According to Nemeth, the role of the Japanese student is to 'help us become accustomed to Japan and to assist student with their research projects.'

A major portion of the next four weeks will be spent in Tokyo, one of the world s largest and most important cities. Tokyo is the center of Japanese educa-tion, economy and national government. It is also a city with a unique mixture of old and new. The Imperial Palace, elaborate-ly designed landscape gardens, o p e n - a i r m a r k e t s , c o l o r f u l festivals, traditional Kabuki and Noh theaters and many small neighborhoods provide tremen-dous contrast to the highly westernized and technologically advanced commercial and ad-ministrative a reas of Tokyo.

Classes will be held in the mor-ning on the campus of Meiji Gakuin. The university setting allows participants to observe and interact informally with Japanese students, especially those who will be coming to Hope in August. The class lectures will focus on the study of social and economic i s sues in J a p a n , Japanese culture and religion and "survival" and conversa-tional Japanese. Students will be housed in the central area of Tokyo and within easy access to many historical, cultural and commercial points of interest.

An important aspect of the May-June Term is the time given to students to explore Tokyo on their own. According to Sue Walters, a 1986 May-June Term

alumna, "There is plenty of free time which is always a constant learning experience. I t 's strange how you fall into certain situa-tions. I remember one time when I and another student decided to take a bus to wherever. We ended up in a tiny town with nothing but a g e n e r a l s t o r e . We were welcomed by every single person we saw. They were as curious about us as we were about them!"

While in Tokyo, students will spend five days with a host fami-ly. Homestays are arranged by trying to match the interests of students with those of their host families. According to Dr. Elliot Tanis, leader of the 1987 May-June Term, "The homestay is the highlight of the program for many students." Amanda Dodd, a 1986 May-June Term alumna, remembers, "One of the most memorable times I had was with my host family. We visited Hahone, an ext inct volcano located in a very mountainous region near the ocean. We took a picnic lunch up to the hot springs there. It was simply beautiful."

In order to understand the historical development of the country, students will also travel to many of the historical and cultural centers of Japan . Near Tokyo, these centers include Nikko (considered the cradle of Japanese religion), Mt. Fuji and Kamakura (site of the world's largest Buddha).

The fifth week of the seminar will be a study-tour based in Kyoto, Japan 's ancient capital and one of its most important cities. Kyoto has some of the best examples of architecture re-maining from the Shogun era. From Kyoto students will visit Nara (the cradle of Japanese a r t s a n d l i t e r a t u r e ) a n d Hiroshima (site of the dropping of the first atomic bomb and the location of the International Peacepark and Dome). The dome was left standing after

WWII as a remembrance of the holocaust.

The experience here, accor-ding to Dr. J ames Gentile, leader of the 1986 May-June Term, "is always a profound and sobering one for students."

Amanda Dodd remembers , "We all were just standing there staring at the dome when an old man in a wheelchair approached us. His whole body was burnt from radiation. He talked to us and asked us to sign our names in a book he kept as a personal token of peace between Japan and the Americans who came to Hiroshima. Seeing him inten-sified what I felt just by being there."

'We all were just standing there staring at the dome when an old man in a wheelchair approached us. His whole body was burnt from radiation.'

D u r i n g t h e 1990 S p r i n g Semester, students will attend a series of orientation sessions which a re designed to enhance the overall value of the program. Topics covered at these sessions will include J a p a n e s e food, customs and current events. D e t a i l s a b o u t i n t e r n a t i o n a l t r a v e l a n d i n d i v i d u a l a r -rangements will also be discuss-ed.

Students interested in finding out more about the 1990 May-June Term in Japan a r e en-couraged to attend an informa-tional meeting scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 21 at 3:30 p.m. The meeting will be held in the Maas Conference Room. In-terested students unable to at-tend this meeting are urged to call Dean Huisken (x7760) or Professor Nemeth (x7556).

Recycling at Hope saves 564 trees and 15,311 gallons of oil by Dr. Stephen Hem3nway guest writer

R e m e m b e r those s ingsong Joyce Kilmer verses: "I think that I shall never see/A poem as lovely as a t ree?" Well, 564 trees as lovely as poems have recently been saved because of paper recycling at Hope College.

Many concerned s tudents , staff, administrators, and facul-ty have been using wastebaskets labled 11 Not ice-Off ice P a p e r Only-No Trash ." By the end of this week, boxes for recycling paper should be available in every dormitory on campus.

Recycling the overabundance of paper that crosses all our desks has become one small step for improving environmental awareness at Hope. Any paper normally found in an office is e l ig ible : l e t t e r s , enve lopes , ledger paper, computer print-outs, manUa folders, and so on. Non-paper contaminants must be excluded: styrofoam cups, candy wrappers, food, newspapers, cor-rugated cardboard, books, film negatives, and other similar pro-ducts.

Gloria Shay, administrative a s s i s t a n t to t he r e g i s t r a r , deserves much of the credit for

sensitizing the campus to the cause of recycling. The current office-paper p rogram, which receives monthly "Paper Tiger" repor ts , involves collections made by the Lubbers Resource Systems, Inc., of Grand Rapids.

F i g u r e s c a l c u l a t e d f r o m statistics on 18 of the last 21 mon-thly reports indicate that 66,295 pounds of paper have been col-lected from participating Hope buildings. More importantly, this recovery has resulted not only in the saving of approximately 564 trees, but also in the conserva-tion of 15,311 gallons of oil, 221 cubic yards of landfill space, and

more than $3,000 in deferred disposal and removal fees.

The current recycling program has snowballed. From its incep-tion in a few administrative of-fices in DeWitt, it has gradually spread to other buildings. Cur-rent efforts by the Dean of Students Office and by the Hope chapter of Mortar Board seek to broaden participation by en-couraging more housing units on campus to sort and save.

Recycling is only the tip of the iceberg. There a r e also other op-tions which can aid the environ-ment on Hope's campus and the world at lar^e. If students a re in-

terested in becoming involved with environmental projects , they can attend meeting of the newly organized Environmental Issues Group any Wednesday at 5 p.m. in Lubbers Loft (on the fourth floor of Lubbers Hall). For more information, students can contact Dr. Hemenway (x7616) in the English Depart-ment.

Kilmar concludes his little dit-ty with a sentence which has become a cliche: "Poems a re made by fools like me, /But only God can make a t ree." The En-vironmental Issues Group hopes to see fewer trees destroyed.

Editorial Reforms in East Germany require more than a symbol

For those of us who've grown up with the Iron Curtain as THE symbol of the East-West confrontation, the events of the past week in Berlin have been, without question, astonishing.

What began as internal political pressure following years of op-pression, which led to a mass exodus from Eas t Germany, begin-ning in August, has resulted in revolutionary steps toward reform.

In light of this event, it seems as if we, as Americans, can only sit and watch, eyes wide, mouths open, attempting to understand the emotions which must be running through the German people

But emotions and speeches and reunions cannot be enough and must not be mistaken for real political reform. We hope that in the future, the people of East Germany will be able to set in place all of the rights and freedoms that we have in the West

Letters to the Editor

Is SAC consistent? Dear Editors,

I would like to point out how ironic it is of the Student Ac-tivities Committee to consider the Knickerbocker's homecom-ing float ("Knicks for safe sex") «uch a controversy. SAC seemed to say that we should not ad-vocate any pre-marital sex, even if it ia safe sex.

However, on the table tents they are pushing Hope College

students to reserve one of the fif-ty rooms available at the Amway Grand Hotel for Winter fantasia. Certainly, they must not be so naive to think that sex will not oc-cur in those rooms.

Let us hope that, if any dread-ful sexual activity occurs after Fantasia, we Hope students will use contraceptives.

IN PLACE OF SLEEP

Finding significance

A colony of ants building their ant-hill. A penny. A child's love poem. When comparing men building the Sears Tower, Presi-dent Bush referring to a trillion do l la r de f ic i t and l i t e r a r y scholars discussing the impact of Shakesphere, these seem so in-significant. As all good college students should, we learn to ig-nore the ants, step on them if we notice them at all, and concen-trate on the more noble pursuit of changing our world.

We enter college full of ideas

SCOTT KAUKONEN and ideals and though we may find our ideas invalid and our ideals ridiculed, we continue to search for the way in which we may impact this great big world. We aspire to write the "great American novel," to reside in the White House, to control Wall Street, to change the way the world thinks.

But somewhere along the line we come to the realization that only a pr -MOUS few a f fec t the world in su h a way and most of

SUP O F THE M I N D

us are not born with the genetic abnormality nor the money to do so. Suddenly, we seem insignifi-cant in a world which only gives notice to the significant.

Within the small world of a child, everything which we came into contact with, including ourselves, had significance. The stuffed animals with which we slept, our ugly, scrawny kittens, the spiders on the ceiling. As children, we noticed the little things and gave them impor-tance.

Somewhere along the line came the realization that there are more important matters in this world (or at least that is what society told us.) Our atten-tion was gradually turned to in-justice and evil in the world, and with bounce in our step we left our teddy bears and pets behind and set off to rid the world of evil and to right every wrong. But reality can be cold and more than one child has had his or her balloon popped.

The further we travel down our path towards changing our world, the larger our world becomes and we realize that we

are not the first nor the last to take this road. We even realize that not everyone agrees to where this road should lead. Some say back, some say stay. Some left, right, up, down and we find ourselves disoriented and lost, bumped around by those who would tell us where to go.

Admist the shout ing and screaming, the preaching and theorizing, our humble opinions are drowned. Looking about us, consumed by the multitudes, we lose hope in our ability to change or mold the mass. We discover that there are others who have cried the same cry as we only to have their pleas go unanswered; we discover that there are others who have tried the same try as we only to have their actions bear no fruit; we discover that for every action we take there is a reaction to counter it. So we ask, what is the point? How can we affect what seems so beyond our touch? Are we to retire from our journey, content to sit where we are and to ignore what once stirred our passions for change?

As the child grows older, so too

does the scope of their attention and within their ever expanding scope the immedia te world around becomes smaller and loses significance. The concerns of our friends, family and com-munity become dwarfed to the ever present needs of the world -homelessness, poverty, injustice.

But the growing child remains a part of that immeadiate world and so too becomes smaller and loses s ignif icance. His size relative to the pond is quickly shrinking. Forgetting friends, family and community, the child develops a sense of hopelessness, overwhelmed by the parameters of the world.

We children who wish to change the world, but find it sometimes an impossible task, must realize that changing the world begins with the world around us - our friends, family and community. We do not have to affect the entire world or even an entire country for our actions to have worth. If we can affect the life of one individual, we have reason to continue our path.

First grade hugs

Sometimes 1 hate this place. I want to walk out the door and

keep going. The pressure seems to continue to mount. The papers, the tests, the criticisms, the lec-tures, the newspaper, the col-umns, the.... There is a reason why I keep getting up. There's a hope out there. A first grader 's hope. But why share it?

Why indeed? That 's what I ask. If it was just a degree, I could

J I M M O N N E T T

have gotten that at any school. 1 could have gotten degrees as prestigious as Hope's and a lot cheaper too. I could have stayed near home where I could go home on all the breaks instead of staying here, renting movies and pretending it's better.

Do I stay because of Hope? What is Hope anyway? I used to think it's the people that make Hope special. I'm not so sure anymore. People seem harder

now than they used to. Sure the worries are bigger as we move closer to graduation; is that reason enough to withdraw into one's books?

Into one's future? Life at Hope is fragmenting.

When I got to Hope, I knew the di f ference between 4 4 their ," "there," and "they're ." Now my professors scribble notes telling me that these errors a re beneath me. The grades I get reflect these errors. But I don't have the energy to care anymore.

I want to care, but can't. Am I the only one feeling this? Should I even be writing about

this? "Your column isn't univer-sal enough," my critics say. Do your critics say that too?

What is universal enough? Last August, when 1 was home

for three weeks, I went back to the day camp where I had work-ed for two summers with the kindergarten. A friend who work-ed there asked me to be a guest on a field trip to the zoo. I got up that morning just like I do every morning here. But I was ap-

prehensive. The previous two summers I

had become close to a little five-year-old named Scotty. At five years old, Scotty had adopted me as his surrogate big brother. We were inseparable. He had an in-tensity that I have found in few other human beings of any age. His friendship was based on com-plete trust.

I was sitting on a desk when the kids poured into the first grade class from the bus. Scotty headed toward his desk. His eyes brush-ed over me. He took a half-step before his head whipped around. His eyes widened. He took two short steps closer.

"Get over here," I said, and the fence broke. He hugged me. There was no being "cool" there. Just him and me.

I had one day with Scotty. The next day his family went on vaca-tion. Three months later I 'm in my room feeling so alone; sick of the work, my column, the newspaper, the college and the endless criticism.

It would be easy to walk out the door. It would be even easier to drink 'til I pass out. Running away is running away. It's not hard to imagine how I would have felt if Scotty hadn't walked through that door. His family could have left one day earlier.

I've got to believe that God is going to use me at some point like He used Scotty. After a year's absence, Scotty still could hug me. Maybe I can hug so-meone else. Maybe my words can reach out and hug someone. Maybe that 's why God gives me these words to write.

Maybe we just have to hug like Scotty does.

Administrators battle students for control of student fees by Dacia Domes and Amy Hudson

(CPS) - In the latest incident in which cash-starved college ad-ministrators have tried to win control over how student fees a re spent, the Idaho State Board of Education has decreed that the state - not students - owns student fee money.

The decision, if it stands, could have a big impact on other public universities around the country where administrators covet stu-dent money.

Battles over who controls stu-dent fees also have erupted at Arapahoe Community College in Colorado, the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, North Idaho College California State University at Chico and the University of Nebraska in recent years.

Still angry about how Universi-ty of Washington officials ig-nored protests and took $160,000 in student fees to returf Husky Stadium in 1986, a statewide stu-dent coalition is lobbying for a state law to give student leaders, not the Board of Regents, the final say on how activities fees are spent.

The University of Idaho crisis arose when UI's board announc-ed it was raising student fees by $25 per semester to pay for im-p r o v e m e n t s needed for an "impending accreditation visit," recalled UI student President Tina Kagi.

Kagi and other student politi-cians charged the increase was illegal, and hired a lawyer to sue.

The board's decision, however, c l a ims the power to deny students the money they need to sue. 4,I have the feeling (the board) is not inclined to grant the funds," said Bradley Hall, the board's attorney.

Students will vote in the cam-pus election today whether to empower the student govern-ment to pursue the lawsuit, Kagi said.

Hall said the board based its decision on two court decisions -one in Washington in 1975 and one in Massachusetts earlier in 1989 -that awarded control of activities fees to the state.

In past court decisions, reports D e n n i s B l a c k , e d i t o r of

"Perspect ives," a newsletter about campus legal affairs, "no one's said (fees) truly belong to the university. Instead they said (fees) can only be used for the support and benefit of the institu-tion "

Most officials swear they don't want to interfere in student g o v e r n m e n t s ' d e c i s i o n s to allocate fees."

Even Idaho board members probably wouldn't interfere in a student fee decision they dislike "unless it would be a legal

issue," said state Board of Education President George A. Alvarez.

Boise State University, also under the Idaho board, "could rechannel student fees," said BSU budge t C i r e c t o r Ron Turner "but in practice it hasn't happened."

In case it does, the Washington Student Lobby, comprised of stu-dent government leaders from Central Washington, Eastern W a s h i n g t o n , W e s t e r n Washington and Washington State universities, as well as the University of Washington, is sponsoring a bill to give students final say on how the student ac-tivities fees are spent.

"We need to stop this," said University of Washington stu-dent legislator Jennifer Ely, recalling the Husky Stadium in-cident. " Returfing will become an issue again and we need to set legislation on student fees before then."

They may need it for bigger

issues than just returfing, Black said.

He sees more schools using fees as a backhanded way of rais-ing tuition in the next few years He predicts they'll hike tuition

mode ra t e ly while imposing "more fees and higher fees for specific things like" computers, parking, athletics and health in-surance.

S tudent fee accoun t s , of course, can be worth millions at some schools.

In Oregon, reports that of-ficials were "overcollecting" student fees from state college students and using it to pay for nonstudent expenses led to a new law requiring administrators to "involve" students in decisions about what to do with surplus fee monies.

Yet Central Washington stu-dent affairs Vice President Don Guy shrugs off student efforts to get a similar law passed in his state. "I think a small group of very articulate students at the University of Washington are really pushing for all campuses to have total control over student fees."

"We have a very good relation-shio with the students," he said

Western Washington students did protest in 1975 when WWU us-ed $83,000 in fees to buy and repair a house for the school's president . In 1985, Eas te rn Washington diverted $260,000 in student fees to fund sports pro-grams.

College News Feminist group charges queen contests degrade women

(CPS) - Women hoping to become Purdues homecoming queen - who win or lose solely because of their looks - "are treated like some product on the market ," charged Feminist Union member Diane Gruber when she tried to slow down voting for this year 's "court" in mid-October.

Yet women weren't the only degraded candidates this year University of North Texas officials disqualified Hector a

Dalmation dog, and Agnes, a squirrel who haunts a tree near the physics building, as homecoming king and queen candidates just because they weren't people and because they hadn't maintained a 2 5 cumulative grade-point average.

MSU has groovy and fab students

A questionnaire meant to help white MSU resident advisers communicate better with minority students features definitions of such long-dusty slang terms as "chicken ea ter" (a phrase once favored by street radicals to describe politically conservative black reformers) and "do rag" (sweat band).

Another test question: "You've got to get up early to A) catch worms B) be healthy C) fool me D) be first on the s t r e e t ' '

MSU officials dropped the questionnaire in late October after discovering it had originally been written 20 years ago to point out common white stereotypes of black people

Six-foot, seven inch Iowa State student Daniel Hartman says he answered all the questions correctly and whomped 100 other ISL students in a contest to appear on MTV's "Remote Control' game show, only to be unfairly disqualified from the show at the last minute because he was too tall.

'Immediate Family' gets 'thumbs-up'

by Pam Lundberg staff writer

The movie "Immediate Fami-l y " d e f i n i t e l y d e s e r v e s a "thumbs-up" rating.

My first reaction to this movie, which stars Glenn Close. J ames Wood. Mary Stewart Masterston and Kevin Dillon was "That was so sad." Therefore, the pro-ducers and actors must have done their job

This movie was a realistic look at unwanted pregnancy. The point of view, however, was from a couple who couldn't have children and wanted to adopt a baby. Mas te r s ton played a teenager who was pregnant and was very decided that she and her boyfriend, Dillon, were going to give the baby up for adoption. The baby was to be adopted by a childless couple, played by Close and Wood. Through the process of open adoption, the baby's mother and fu tu re adoptive parents must meet . Their meeting and developing relation-

ship provides the sad and heart warming part of a relatively humorous movie.

What 1 liked best about "Im-mediate Family" was the fact that this movie made me feel sad and happy a long with the characters The actors were great and the movie as a whole was a success.

Close did an exceptional job At first, it was as hard for me to think of her as anything but the vengeful, "witchy" woman she portrayed in "Fata l Attraction. Yet af ter about 10 minutes, forgot all about that and was engrossed in her problem of wan-ting a baby.

This movie was not perfect, however. Towards the end, it started to drag. It was a little bit drawn out, and that fact had a dulling effect. Once the audience had predicted the ending, it should have ended.

The movie "Immediate Fami-ly" deserves at least a 4 out of 5 star rating. The "twisting emotion-eliciting plot made it well worth the while.

Taylor and Cole to play at Knickerbocker this Friday by Beth Pechta anchor co-editor

Singer Livingston Taylor and comedian Alex Cole will perform together at the Hope College Knickerbocker Theatre this Fri-day.

Social Activities Chairperson (SAC) Denise Shotwell said that this night of entertainment will oe one of the best that Hope students will see.

"When we were at our con-ference a couple weeks ago (the NACA regional conference) we told people we had these guys coming on the same night and they were just envious that we had gotten them both," Shotwell said. "This is especially because they're both so hard to get and they're also very expensive."

"We think that this is probably about the finest entertainment you'll see on Hope's campus that's directed for the students," Shotwell stated. "Usually enter-tainment of this quality you'll on-

Taylor has

good life

Livingston Taylor learned how to play music on a blue qui tar.

"It wasn't blue originally," he says, "but my brother Alex

3pray-painted it because Elvis played a blue guitar."

A closeness to his family is one of the most important things to Liv, who says, "Most of my strength, energy and inspiration comes from my wife, Maggie, my brothers Alex, James, and Hugh, and my sister Kate." A member of one of pop music's most distinguished families, Liv was initially taught to play guitar by James, and they remain each other's biggest fans.

Liv first felt the lure of songwriting and per forming w^ien Alex and James formed their first band. The Corsairs. He recalls, "I was young at the time, but not too young to understand the importance of the fact that when they came home, they had earned twenty bucks apiece for making music and that impress-ed me mightily."

Livingston, who lives outside Boston, has just released his sixth album, "Life is Good," on the Critique label. The new album was recorded in Kingston, New York, and features guest performances by brother James, John Sebastian and Leah Kunkel.

Liv recorded his first album, "Livingston Taylor,M in 1970 under the tutelage of producer Jon Landau/who,- a few y e a n

ly find with like the Great Perfor-mance Series and I know a lot of times that entertainment is not directed toward students."

Cole was named the 1988 Cam pus Comedy Entertainer of the Year. He has appeared on the t e l e v i s i o n p r o g r a m 4 4 Star Search," Showtime's "Comedy Club" and the "Merv Griffin Show."

Cole has toured with Taylor, Talking Heads, Crystal Gple, The Outlaws, Laura Brannigan, Manhattan Transfer and B.B. King.

Cole s show is called Comedy 101. "He's very, very popular with the student crowd," said Shotwell. "Andhe 's not raunchy; he's clean and funny at the same time."

Livingston Taylor, who, yes, is James Taylor's brother, has released six albums and record-ed several hit songs. "I know his brother's career boosted his career a lot and they even have some songs they do together that

have been on the charts ," said Shotwell.

Taylor's latest album is titled "Life is Good." According to Shotwell, all of the stores in the Holland and Grand Rapids area are sold out of Taylor's albums and his new CD

"He is very popular." Shotwell emphasized

For those who are fans of Taylor's, there is a possibility f meeting him that night. "He is very into getting to know his au-dience," Shotwell said, "so most likely anyone who comes to the concert will be able to meet him beforehand. He likes to wander around the crowd "

Tickets for the show are available at the SAC office, the Student Development Office or the Knickerbocker. Advance tickets are $3 for students (they are $5 at the door), $5 for Hope faculty and staff and $7 for the general public.

Cole keeps comedy clean,

maintains star status

later, found notoriety by guiding the career of Bruce Springsteen. Landau was living in Boston and writing for rock publications like Crawdaddy and Rolling Stone when he met Livingston through a mutual friend. Soon after, Lan-dau l u r ed h im to Macon, Georgia, breeding ground of such artists as Little Richard, Otis R e d d i n g a n d t h e A l l m a n Brothers, to record his .debut album with Capricorn Records.

Liv's recognition factor was in-creased by the simultaneous suc-cess of his brother James, who had begun his own recording career in London on Apple Records, the label founded by the Beatles.

Born in Boston, Livingston was raised in Chapel Hill, North C a r o l i n a , a n d r e t u r n e d to Massachusetts to finish his high

. sohool years. * • *. * .

Livingston does admit to some hard times in his career. Steady comparisons to his brother J a m e s , al though unders tan-dable, become tiresome. " James casts a long shadow," he says, "because he should. He is truly a special songwriter and musician. But it's possible to like us both."

Livingston's recording career continued with the albums "Liv" in 1972, and "Over the Rainbow" in 1974. He was buoyed by the suc-cess of the latter 's title cut and assumed a stronger grasp of this career. Liv scored his biggest chart success with "I Will Be in Love with You" from his 1978 album "Three Way Mirror," and he relished the success of a Top 40 hit.

"Hit records are completely addictive," he says. " I have no expectations that I will have

• nother one, but I sure hope 1 do/

If experience is the greatest teacher of all, Alex Cole is its greates pupil. Into his twelfth year of touring, Cole's highly ac-claimed p e r f o r m a n c e s have brought him to a plateau of ex-c e l l e n c e w h e r e t h e l i n e separating comedian and au-dience completely disappears. Alex is more than a comedian. Alex Cole is us.

In the past two years alone. Cole's achievements have includ-ed appearances on national net-work and cable television, tours with Crystal Gayle, Eddie Rab-bitt and others, regular stints in Las Vegas main rooms, headlin-ing the country's biggest and most important comedy clubs, and being voted Comedy Enter-tainer of the Year by over 1,000 colleges throughout the country.

These distinctions are no acci-dent. Simply put, Alex Cole is one of the cleanest and funniest com-ics you'll ever exper ience . Period. And any comedy ma ven will tell you, this is a r a re and unlikely combination.

"A children's show for adults," is how one reviewer put it. From the moment Alex steps on stage, he transforms all of us into kids. He has this air of playful mischief-most of which he's been caught at, just like the rest of us. "Oh, man, I've done that!" is the common reaction as Cole explores his life in tom-foolery, hideous little things we've long s ince Lorgotttn-'or tried to

forget. Alex finds the sensitive nerve, and then tickles it. Said * one student to a reviewer after ^ Cole's performance: "He was so down to earth...I never realized, how typical my childhood was!"

In performance. Cole is a ' ^ dynamo. The stage disappears. t

The entire room becomes his soapbox, a long with every* breathing soul within. The "per-#

formance" evolves quickly into a c o m m u n a l romp . Everyone* becomes an integral part of the celebration. He gets us in touch#

with our own fragile mortality* and makes us laugh 'til it hurts. Hurts so good, striking deep with * a powerful sense of humanity, and joy. In other words, Alex Cole connects. '

I t ' s r e f r e s h i n g l y c l e a n , r

hilarious catharsis filled with colorul characters we all know,» from neighborhood bullies to^ killer wasps ("the Hell's Angels * of insects") and everything in^ between. If you are among the deprived who haven't met Alex' and taken the short course in^ Comedy 101, it's time you did.

It just doesn't get any better. • Alex Cole will open for Liv-,

ingston Taylor Friday, Nov. 17, at the Knickbocker Theatre.

Joel's newest storms charts by Bill Meengs sports editor

i

Billy Joel 's new album "Stonn Front" offers everything f rom a

• history lesson, "We Didn't Start the F i r e / ' to an at tack on tabloid journalists, "Tha t ' s Not Her

.Style," to his usual tributes to America's working man, "The

1 D o w n e a s t e r 4 A l e x a ' . " He packages these around seven

' other new songs on an album that . must be somewhat of a co r re back for him.

' Joel 's last effort "The Bridge," .was a bit of a commercial failure, and 4 ,Storm Front" will

'be expected to put Joel back among the most commercially successful art ists of the decade.

. The album's f irst single "We Didn't Start the F i r e , " is on its way to reestablishing Joel's com-mercial success. The song is

alreadv in the top ten of many radio station's most-requested songs and shows no signs of let-ting up soon. It 's an up-tempo rock 'n ro l l n u m b e r t h a t chronicles some of the important historic events of his life.

Joel also offers a moving tribute to the New England fisherman in "The Downeaster *Alexa,.M Joel tells of the strug-gles these people are presently going through, how they can ' t catch enough fish to survive because of pollution and increas-ed commercial activity, and how they're being forced to sell their homes in an at tempt to survive.

Joel writes "I was a bayman like my father was before/Can't make a living as a bayman a n y m o r e / T h e r e a i n ' t m u c h future for a man who works the sea/But there ain' t no island left for islanders like me ."

Joel used production help from Foreigner's Mick Jones and got back-up help on vocals from Jones and Richard Marx. Joel and the rest of his bandmates a re in top form for this album and de l iver s t rong m a t e r i a l on "Shameless," "State of Grace ," and "And So it Goes."

While the album does have some weak points (the songs often sound somewhat bland), Joel appears to have the album he needs for his comeback. Of course, one has to ask if someone with Joel's track record even needs to worry about a com-eback. Whether he needed to or not, Joel has come out with a strong album af ter one that was less than successful.

Joel has said that in order to promote this album, he will "tour and tour and tour and tour." Look for him soon.

Renee Garcia offers Christian dance funk

•by Jim Monnett 4 co-editor

• Q: Is there danceable Chris-tian music?

A: Renee G a r c i a ' s debu t - album "A Different World" on

Reunion Records will have even 4 the ardent wallflower groovin'. , Garcia 's music brings to mind the dance t r a cks of Gloria

•Estefan and the Miami Sound 4Machine, but this music has solid Christian backing.

• On the title t rack she sings, 44It's time that we walk-To the

"beat that we talk about-I'm dan-^cin' to th^ rhythm-Of a song that sets me free-You can dance to it

• too-Just move into the groove ^and-Believe." While her upbeat music s tar ts the listener tapping,

-her lyrics point to the joy of walk-ing with a loving Christ.

On her best t racks the music snatches the tones of her lyrics.

The music for " J e r u s a l e m " is 'contagious, with drum machines ^nd synthesizers layering chords

and rhythms into a tight melody. Over this, Garcia sings about how trouble seems to "flow wherever we go." The world is not perfect, and yet she foresees f u t u r e g l o r y w h e n t h e "madness" will end as Christ ushers in the New Jerusalem with the Second Coming.

Another outs tanding song, "You Don't Need It ," is about human sin, t empta t ion and fallability. It is set to drum machine overdubbing and an in-teresting bass line that seems to see-saw back and forth along an octave. Garcia sings, in the first verse, "I fight to do right-I 'm tired of doing wrong-Tangled in a web of indecision-Deep inside I Hear You say to me-You don't need it ."

The need for God in a Chris-tian's daily life is evident in most of "A Different World." In "But It's Not Too Late to Discover His Love Again" Garcia seems to be trying to reignite lapsed Chris-tians with her infectious music

while appealing with God's love. For practicing Christians, "Live On" and "If I Have To" offer en-couragement.

Besides dance songs, Garcia does a passable job on her Amy Grant style ballads. She does best with the loving "Perfec-tion," which garners her the most Christian airplay. It is a quiet tribute to God's work in a person's life.

The closing track, another ballad, "I Will Never Leave You," attempts to be spiritual, but seems off-kilter for the rest of the album. The lyrics fall into the s t a n d a r d Chr is t ian ideal ism found on a dozen other Christian albums. After the power of ' 'Perfection" and " Je rusa lem," one expects lyrics that a r e deeper than "I will never leave You-I wil l s t a y wi th You forever." This may be honest, b-it it is generic and sounds trite following more meaningful lyrics on the rest of the album.

The communications depart-ment at Hope College is ex-periencing, first-hand, its own product

John Grooters, a 1984 Hope graduate, is a visiting professor for the communications depart-ment. He graduated with a degree combining communica-tions, political science and religion.

Grooters is here teaching the Advanced Media Production class where students learn ai»d practice single camera field pro-duction.

This class 44covers all avenues: c a m e r a a n d r e c o r d e r to videography, editing, sound techniques, lighting, inlerview-ing, etc.," Grooters said

Grooters is excited about this class and has a pretty hefty goal for his students. They work on three projects throughout the semester, and he wants their final ones to be of resume quali-

ty. Grooters would like them to be able to use this to get their foot in the door.

Students in his class have said that they are enjoying having a different opinion on their work. Media Production classes a re usually taught by Ted Nielsen, who is on s a b b a t i c a l th is semester.

Grooters was invited to teach the class because the department knew of his work and because he has maintained contact with the department since he graduated.

During the past few weeks Grooters has been working on getting Bob Bradseli to come and speak to both the Advanced Media class and the political science department.

Bradseli, who will be here Thursday, has produced many political campaign commercials, including those for the winning side of the Proposal A issue. Bradseli has also worked with Roger Ailes, the main force behind the Reagan and Bush campaigns.

Along with being a visiting p ra fessor, Grooters works at the Reformed Church of America in media productions.

He also recently completed an outside promotional tape for a Reformed youth convention, Genesis *90, for which he enlisted the aid of some of the advanced production students.

Grooters and his wife Judy, also a Hope graduate, have been married for two years. They have a one-year-old daughter Jordyn, and another child is on the way.

In addition to his media t a len t s , Groo te r s possesses musical abilities. He has his own contemporary Christian band Grooters and Beal, which he formed with Dwight Beal. also a Hope alumnus.

Grooters and Beal recently performed on Nov. 5 at Holland Christian High School and will return there Dec. 9 for "A Con temporary Christmas Vespers

Sports

O N THIN ICE

Competition is the essence of sports; it is why they exist and it fuels their fire. Anyone who's even been involved with sports knows about competition. I have been involved in many com-petitive situations with my in-volvement with my high school tennis team, and the many other sports that I basically play as hobbies. But none of these situa-tions even come close to the com-petitiveness that exists between myself and my two sisters.

My younger sister Lisa and I really don't compete too much, however. The reason for this is b e c a u s e she is four y e a r s younger and therefore we aren ' t involved in any common activies to compete over. We do both play tennis so some competition does exist there. Although she has never beaten me, I'd have to say Lisa is an all-around better played than I am, and when she finally realizes this herself, my days of winning matches against her are over.

If you want to know

the true meaning of

competition, try

having a twin sister.

While I don't compete much with my younger sister, I more

•than make up for it in my com-#petition with my other sister. If you want to know the true mean-

i n g of competition, try having a twin s i s t e r . I t s e e m s l ike Michelle and I have competed /)ver something our entire lives.

Actually, we were competing before we were officially alive, ^fichelle was born 20 minutes before m e (we were already

oKsanaking life tough on Mom) which she likes to say was oecause she pushed me out of the way. Actually what really hap-pened was I pushed her out first \o make sure eveything was safe. • After that, we soon got tothe point of fighting over toys. • Michelle liked to take my football

The human drama of competition

BILL M E E N G S

helmet and toy motorcycle and ride up and down the driveway like a bat out of hell. My favorite toy of hers was her Lite-Brite. Nothing would make her madder than when I wasted one of her favorite design sheets.

Soon, we were off to school, and the next logical step was competition over grades. That one didn't last long, however, and I have long since conceded defeat in that a rea . For me to compete with her over grades is like the Michigan-Illinois football series: it's pretty much pre-determined. I come close every now and then, but her G.P.A. is always just a little higher.

We actually don't compete much anymore. We started to go different ways in high school. We were involved in different ac-tivities and had different sets of friends. High school was tough because as we began to go our different ways, a gap began to form in our relationship with each other. It got so bad that for awhile, we wouldn't even say "h i" if we passed in the hall.

But then came time to pick a college. I had pretty much had my mind made up that I was go-ing to Hope since my sophmore year. Michelle was still thinking about a larger school, but she also eventually decided on Hope. This meant that we were going to have to improve our relations because there really weren' t any other people that we knew.

While we've been at college, our relationship has gotten bet-ter. We don't really compete anymore, because we ' re involv-ed in different things. She likes to say that when she's a doctor, she's going to have more money than me. I tell her that 's fine because when I 'm a lawyer, I'll just wait for her to screw-up, and then I'll take some of her money. But that 's about the only com-petition we have these days, just playful kidding.

Now when we see each other, its usually to watch a Red Wings game. She makes me popcorn and sundaes and the fr idge is always stocked with soda. For those of you who don't have as cool of a sister a s I do, it 's too bad. But I figure af ter spending my entire life competing with a twin sister, I deserve it.

Four runners earn all-MIAA honors

(HOPE) -- Four Hope College runners have been named to the M i c h i g a n I n t e r c o l l e g i a t e Athletic Association (MIAA) all-conference cross country teams.

The conference championship meet was held Nov. 4. Both Hope teams finished second to Calvin College in the meet. For the season, the Hope men ended in second place in the final stan-dings while the women were co-champions with Calvin.

TW Flvincf Diitrh won the dual

meet portion of the season with a 5-0 record. The seasonal title is based on dual meet standings and the season-ending champion-ship meet.

Hope junior Bruce Fletter of Grand Rapids finished runnerup in the league meet to earn All-MIAA honors for a third con-secutive year.

Teammate Bryan Whitmore, a senior from Okemos, also earned All-MIAA honors as he finished

seventh in the championship run. Junior J i lanne Bannink of

Holland won All-MIAA honors for the third year as she finished fifth in the league meet. Bannik h a s a l so e a r n e d All-MIAA recognition in swimming during her Hope career

Hope f r e s h p e r s o n M a r c i a VanderSall of Orange City, Iowa, is the only first-year runner on the All-MIAA team. VanderSall finished sixth at the league meet.

Volleyball has three go all-conference

(HOPE) - Three Hope college athletes have been voted to the M i c h i g a n I n t e r c o l l e g i a t e Athletic Association (MIAA) all conference volleyball team.

S e n i o r c o - c a p t a i n Ho l ly VandenBerg of Grand Rapids has been voted to the coaches' All-MIAA first team for a fourth consecutive year.

She is joined on the first team by sophomore Holly Brown of Kalamazoo while senior Shelley

Koster of Wyoming was named to the second team.

Senior Anna Marie Postmus of G r a n d R a p i d s r e c e i v e d honorable mention recogition.

VandenBerg is only the second p l a y e r in MIAA vol leybal l history to receive all-league honors four years in a row. The other player was Leah Calsbeek of Calvin f rom 1963-86.

Brown was an All-MIAA se-cond t e a m s e l e c t i o n a s a

freshperson.

Coach Donna Eaton's Flying Dutch finished the season with a 26-5 record and were second in the MIAA s tandings behind Calvin.

It marked the fourth con-secutive year that Hope has posted 25 or more victories in a season. Over the past four years Hope has compiled a 101-26 record.

Hope men's basketball team guns for a successful season by Bill Meengs sports editor

The Hope College basketball team this year is a young but ex-perienced group. Head Coach Glenn Van Wieren returns nine lettermen from last year ' s team, which finished second place in the Michigan Intercol legiate Athletic Association (MIAA), one game behind league champ Calvin.

The preseason varsity roster is made up of four seniors, two juniors, five sophmores and three freshpersons. The team is led by co-captains Justin George, a senior from Schoolcraft, and Eric Elliot, a junior from Hud-sonville

Though Van Wieren's team is young, it is largely a veteran squad, as Van Wieren often employed a platoon system last year. His mass substitutions gave severa l young players valuable playing time. This has given Van Wieren a solid, young nucleus of players around which to build his team.

Those players who may have b e n e f i t t e d m o s t f r o m Van Wieren's platoon system last y e a r a r e s o p h m o r e s Colly Carlson a 6-3 forward from Jenison, Wade Gugino a 6-9 center f rom Midland, and Bart Verltulst a 6-5 forward from

Wyoming. These three will be expected to play major roles again this season.

Also returning for the Dut-chmen a r e Elliot, last year 's leading scorer, a 5-10 junior guard; George, a 6-1 guard; senior Dan Klunder, a 6-3 for-ward from Grand Rapids; 6-6 senior Bruce Vanderkolk from Hamilton; senior center, Kurt Boeve, 6-7, of Zeeland; and 6-4 forward Mike Balkema, a junior from Kalamazoo.

Arizona woman barred from playing on mens' IM team

IN THE BLEACHERS by Steve Moore

(CPS) - A graduate student at the University of Arizona has been barred from playing on an intramural flag football team because she is a woman.

It was the second time in three months someone at UA had stop-ped a woman from participating on a previously all-male team.

Intramural officials told Karen Scott in September that mixed-sex intramural teams aren't allowed and, if she wanted to play, she'd have to find a women's team.

Scott, who said her teammates didn't mind her being on the team, is angry because the Cam-pus Recreation Handbook does not mention a rule barring coed

teams. "There's nothing in the policy that says I can't play."

In a separate UA incident, sophomore Jodi Orliss won the right to play on the men's rugby team Oct. 12 after filing a d i s c r i m i n a t i o n c o m p l a i n t against the team.

The two cases are different because UA has women's in-tramural flag football but not a women's rugby club, said In-tramural Director Cynthia Har-dy.

4'There are opportunities for (Scott) to play with the women's division," she said. 44If 1 let her play, then men would be allowed on women's teams and they'd destroy the women's program."
