Lasi week President Bu l tman establ ished

Chapel . There will be thirteen people on the

commit tee with the President as the chair. The

commit tee is composed of a blend of faculty,

staff , and students.

i tried to put together a commil tee that

would allow input f r o m many different seg-

ments of the campus communi ty that will

of fer m a n y views and ideas, but all who have

a spiritual interest," said Bul tman.

There are two students on the commit tee .

"I wanted at least one of the students on

the commi t t ee to be wel l -known among stu-

dents [on Hope ' s c ampus , ] " Bultman said.

The students on the commit tee are Kelly

Morr ison ( ' 01) , Student Congress comptrol-

Bul tman said.

At that t ime, qual i f icat ions will be deter-

mined by the commit tee .

"It is p r e m a t u r e to talk abou t what the

qual i f ica t ions will be ," Bul tman said. "But

we will of course look for someone who can

Student diagnosed with meningitis Health Clinic warns

campus, but disease is not very contagious Daniel le Koski STAFF R E P O R T E R

On N o v e m b e r 21 . the H e a l t h

Clinic issued a campus wide e-mail

pe r t a in ing to the d i a g n o s i s of a

w o m a n in Scot t Hal l wi th viral

meningit is . Since then, there have

been rumors and ques t ions going

around about the potential danger

to other s tudents on campus .

"Most people w h o are exposed

to the virus don ' t get it." said Anne

McKay, a nurse at the Health Clinic

who is handl ing the situation.

A person can only get viral men-

ingitis in the same w a y that a per-

son can gel m o n o , a c c o r d i n g to

McKay. A person cannot get viral

meningi t is just by si t t ing next to

someone who has it. The person has

to comc in c lose contact with the

d iagnosed pe r son ' s bodi ly secre-

tions. like dr inking after them, eat-

ing of f the s a m e s i l v e r w a r e , or

touching a surface they had sneezed

on.

"Viral meningi t i s is caused by

several d i f ferent viruses ," M c K a y

said. "The worst part are the symp-

toms, including headache and fa-

t igue."

According to McKay, unlike bac-

terial meningitis , which can be very

aggress ive and have serious conse-

quences including death, it is rare

for someone to die of viral menin-

gitis.

"There is no treatment for [viral

meningi t is] ." said McKay. "A lot of

l imes ihcy still g ive antibiotics, but

usual ly it is just rest , f lu ids , and

medica t ion fo r the headache and

nausea a lot of t imes ."

The only d iagnoses of viral men-

ingitis was the woman in Scotl Hall,

no one else was diagnosed with it.

according to McKay .

M c K a y d id s a y that s t u d e n t s

should get the bacterial meningit is

vaccine since the consequences of

that are far worse then that of viral

meningit is .

T h e A m e r i c a n Co l l ege Heal th

Associa t ion r e c o m m e n d s that all

residential students get the vaccine.

"The Health Clinic offers the vac-

cine for $75. and if a student is un-

der Hope ' s insurance it is covered.

S o m e other insurance c o m p a n i e s

cover it too." said McKay.

New Hope TV show planned Auditions to be held

tomorrow Matt Cook C A M P U S BEAT EDITOR

Sta r t ing next semes te r , there

will be a new addit ion to the Hope

Col lege media .

C o m m u n i c a t i o n s tuden t s , led

by David Schock , p ro fe s so r of

communica t ion , are p lanning on

producing a live, bi -weekly news

show for next semester . The show

will cover topics relevant to Hope

and the Holland area.

It is t en ta t ive ly t i t led " H o p e

Today."

In addit ion to being a source for

news, Schock sees the show as a

powerfu l learning tool for his stu-

dents.

"I t ' s been my exper ience, and

it 's my belief, that the best way to

leach people who want to be in the

e l e c t r o n i c med ia is to i nvo lve

them in real product ions." Schock

said. "The re has to be a practical

aspect ."

Students in Schock ' s advanced

production class will make up the

senior staff of the show, which will

be format ted like a typical evening

news program. However, any Hope

student is we l come to audit ion for

anything f rom running cameras to

being a reporter.

"If you wan t to c o m e and see

what we do here, y o u ' r e more then

we lcome to hang out ," Schock said.

Schock would especially like to

have a weather reporter f r o m the

sciences.

"I t ' s easier to train someone to be

on T V than to irain someone about

meteorology," Schock said.

Today ' s Hope will be f i lmed in

the newly revamped video studio on

the second f loor of Lubbers Hall,

and broadcast on channel 6, Mac

TV: the local communi ty access sta-

tion.

Schock is aware lhal producing

a T V show lakes more than techni-

cal work. He feels lhal accurately

reporting the news is a big respon-

sibility. S tudents will have to be

careful to avoid libel and intrusion.

"We will be practicing what we

p reach and wha t w e ' r e t ry ing to

learn." Schock said. "If we make

mis takes there are potential ly di-

sas t rous consequences . Bui that 's

l i fe."

Schock and his students are will-

ing to accept the risks.

"You d o n ' t gel any place in this

bus iness without be ing willing to

do that ," Schock said.

This is not the first T V show that

has been p roduced at Hope Col-

lege. The re have been a few in the

past, and currently there is a daily

newsmagaz ine show called Dutch

Line. It is on f ive days a week at

5:30.

However , Today 's Hope is more

ambi t ious than these s h o w s be-

cause it is live rather than pre-pro-

duced, and Schock hopes for it to

extend beyond next semester.

Schock thinks his s tudents are

up to the chal lenge.

" W h e n they get it, it 's like the

heavens open, and students real-

i z e w h a t t h e y ' r e c a p a b l e o f , "

Schock said.

Ultimately, Shock ' s main goal is

for his students to learn something.

Premonitions

Campus Beat Editor

Phoning it in There is a term I have run

across o l i en in reading movie

review s. When an actor g ives a 1

particularly hear t less perfor-

mance. they say he /she jus t

"phoned it in." Jim Car rey ' s

latest Him might be a good

example ol that.

As we approach the end of this

semester . I c a n ' t help but think

that 's w hat we. the m e m b e r s ol

Hope ' s communi ty , have been

doing lor the past f ew weeks .

We have been phoning-it in.

Maybe it's just me. I con fe s s

that almost every th ing I have

d o n e since Thanksg iv ing break

has not been d o n e to the best of

my ability. T h e papers I have

written are only words to me.

Even as I write this co lumn I am

count ing the words I need to fill

up the necessary space .

But. I don ' t think I am the

only one. Almost eve ryone 1

know is tired. Nobody seems to

want to do any th ing but the

min imum.

• I just want to get this done,

so I can go home and do

nothing." is a c o m m o n refra in .

Everything drags on too long.

The presidential e lect ion that w e

were so exci ted about a month

ago has still not yet been

decided, and we don ' t care about

ii anymore .

Why are w e are a school full

of w eary peop le? Why this

semester?

I don ' t know. M a y b e the effort

is too much to think about it. But

it 's not a good thing. T h a t ' s not

why w e ' r e here at col lege- to not

want to be here. I hesi ta te to say

it. but maybe we should just

suck it up and be excited.

A fr iend who is s tudying

abroad next semester recently

told m e she was sick of Hope.

and that 's why she knew it was

a good time to go. S h e ' s exci ted

about leaving.

So. what does that leave those

of us w h o are s taying here to get

exci ted about?

T h e r e ' s a lot actually.

This semester saw the end of

the ministry of Ben Patterson.

For better or for worse , he ' s had

arguably the biggest single

in f luence on the s tudent body in

recent history. It should be

exci t ing to fo l low the process as

we dec ide w ho will fill his large

shoes.

In September , it was promised

to us that the pos tponed Gay /

Lesbian Film Series would be

s h o w n next semester . It should

be excit ing to see if the adminis -

tration fol lows through on that.

Student Congress is trying to

bring in acc la imed poet Maya

Ange lou to speak. It should be

exci t ing to have someone of her

inf luence and presence c o m e to

our campus .

Then there 's classes. I 'm

taking poetry next semester, and

1 c a n ' t wait .

And there ' s intermural sports,

and jazz band concer ts , and the

second successful semester of

the S h o w Without a H o m e on

W T H S .

I 'm asking you to do me a

favor, and I 'm going to try this

myself . Get exci ted next

semester . Put your heart into it.

N o more phoning it in.

It 's contag ious and I don ' t

think I can take much more of

this.

T h e student group had seen do-

"We wanted to be a little bit more

in their face ." Col l ins said. ' T h e

boxes and word of mouth can do

the rest ."

They got the donation boxes from

a Grand Rapids radio station, w h o

they will turn the gi f ts over to when

it is done . Then the Mar ine Corps

will dis tr ibute the gi f ts in the Hol-

land and Grand Rap ids area.

A l though it started off slowly,

Col l ins feels donat ions have really

picked up.

"Right now, underneath my bed

is pretty m u c h stocked with toys."

Col l ins said. "Tha t ' s a good sign."

Toys for Tots will run through

Friday. Dec. 8. T h e com-

munica t ion s tudents are

planning on collecting the

boxes Saturday morning.

" (The boxes] will be out

there as long as the build-

ings are open," Collins said.

Co l l in s encourages stu-

dents to r emember what it

w a s like for them to receive pre ;

sents on Chr i s tmas morning.

" I j u s t r e a l l y v i s u a l i z e the

ch i ld ren ' s faces- just to see their

eyes light up if there 's a gift under

that t ree." Col l ins said. "I think it

would touch a lot of people ' s hearts

to think about chi ldren 's faces light-

ing up ."

Donat ion boxes are in VanWylen

Phelps Hall cafeter ias .

Our voice

The Anchor is always open lo honesl criticism, and lellers to the editor

are something to which we pay a good deal of attention. However, the

Anchor is also in the position of being a publication devoted to present-

ing the news and opinions of Hope College in the most fair and journal-

istic manner possible. Unfortunately, some people fail to recognize the

position of the Anchor on this campus, and accuse us of being aligned

"against them." The Anchor has been criticized multiple t imes for dealing with the

issue of the red light signs that student congress chose lo install. What

the critics fail to mention is that the Anchor was merely responding to a

number of students who felt that the signs were a waste of money, prima-

rily because they were not operational at the time. It is not the Anchor

that is critical of the installment of the s igns—we are trying to accurately

re l ied the views of a portion of the student body.

The Anchor is the publication of the students, and we strive to present

a publication that speaks to and from a very diverse student body. To

claim that the Anchor is biting the hand that feeds it by attacking Student

Congress seems to be a misplaced sentiment. The Anchor is responding

to the true hand that funds its publicat ion—the student body. Student

Congress doesn' t provide the money, it administrates the students' money.

When students disagree with something that Student Congress does, they

have the full right to make their views known.

The Anchor 's coverage of the leaving of Ben Patterson has been criti-

cized from a number of people, even to the point of accusations of de-

monizing Patterson. The Anchor worked hard to create a fair and even-

handed review of Ben Patterson's time at Hope College. And it was an

article that represented the feelings of two very separate sides of the cam-

pus. Half the campus feels that a single word suggesting that the chaplain's

stuff was a part of any of the controversies is heretical. The other half of

the campus feels that the chaplain 's staff sets the tone for the religious

life on campus, and that is a tone that has had both its ups and downs

over the past years. In the two articles in the paper, we presented the facts

of Ben Patterson's time at Hope College, as well as quotes f rom Patterson

and others about his time at Hope. Some people who were upset with the

article say that it did not present certain things that Patterson has accom-

plished during his time at Hope, for instance a "spiritual growth" on cam-

pus that has occurred during his appointment. Unfortunately, spiritual

growth cannot be measured in a manner that makes for good journal ism.

How can a newspaper verify that people have moved closer to God, in a

way that goes beyond their personal test imony? Ben Patterson did a lot

for many individuals, but those things are not the subject of solid jour-

nalism. What the Anchor could include was a factual relation of Patterson's

time at Hope, and how Patterson and certain individuals from different

perspectives felt about it.

The student body of Hope College already has a publication that is

filled with feel-good, controversy-avoiding articles: it is called News From

Hope College. Fortunately, the Anchor is a publication at Hope College

that relates the news of campus: the good, the bad, the inspirational, and

the disgusting. We're here to talk the tough talk, and relate the ways that

things are on campus, and sometimes we get criticized for that role. But

week after week we take it. and are willing to continue to serve the entire

campus community to the best of our ability.

Too many controversial statements, says student To the Editor,

I am a member of the Student

Congress appropriations commit-

tee and I would like to comment

on the recent ad-hoc request the

Anchor made for a new newspa-

per-sized printer. Apparently the

old printer was in rapid decline

and took 45 minutes to print one

page. While the request had its

faults in that it wasn ' t a capital

request (a request made for large

purchases during spring budget-

ing), its biggest fault was making

so many controversial statements

(in recent articles) about s tudent

congress. For example, an article

tilled "New signs don ' t work yet"

appeared in the 11/8 issue. Ironi-

cally, the article became a waste of

space since the signs were up and

running the same day. Nonetheless,

the Anchor felt it could take this op-

portunity to make a knee-jerk reac-

tion article on the purchase of the

signs. With that said, it is generally

a bad idea to bile the Student Con-

gress that feeds you. Thanks to this,

some of the appropriation members

had a tough time trying lo approve

this ad-hoc request. I for one will

approve the request because I be-

l ieve mos t of the s tuden t body

would want this, but I hope that the

Anchor would take into consider-

ation a change in their attitude to-

ward not just the student congress,

but all organizations. However, if

your goal at the Anchor is lo be

laughed at for your tunnel vision

opinions and lack of professional

journalism, then you are suceeding.

Stephen Adair II ( '04)

Student feels Patterson article unfairly biased To the Editor,

After reading the Spotlight ar-

ticle entitled "Leaving the Gath-

ering" (Nov. 29), I felt I needed

to respond to the one-sided tell-

ing of the story of Ben Patterson's

chaplaincy at Hope. The article,

in my opinion, concentrated far

loo heavily on the controversies

that necessarily befall a commu-

nity trying to live out its faith,

overlooked all the amazing ac-

complishments of the last six and

a half years. Rather than celebrate

these achievements, what I saw

on page six of the past issue of

the Anchor was an unashamed

attempt to vilify Ben. to portray

his ministry in the worst possible

light, and to say lo him "good rid-

dance:" as he leaves us. Disagree-

ment on certain issues since his

arrival have excited passions (on

both sides. I admit) and we rarely

slop to think what a miracle took

place that the chapel program was

literally brought back to life under

Ben's guidance. Sure, the article ac-

curately reported the rise in chapel

attendance during Ben's tenure, but

it failed lo report the remarkable

spiritual growth that has accompa-

nied, and really surpasses in impor-

tance. this rise in attendance. How

many people have been challenged

lo a deeper relationship with Jesus

Christ in the past few years because

of the chapel program? I know of

at least one. How many people have

fell the call to ministry whi le at

Hope? I know of at least one. The

way Ben talked about the beautiful

heritage of Hope College as a train-

ing ground for future ministers and

missionaries was nothing short of

inspirational. If we have failed lo

see what a powerful vision Ben had

for the kingdom of God, we ought

to be ashamed. Our theological dif-

ferences pale in comparison to the

compel l ing call we as Christians

have to live out the Gospel in all

that we do. And the chapel program

of the last few years has. I believe,

challenged us all with this call.

Let 's be honest with ourselves.

We would have disagreed about is-

sues of homosexuality and plural-

ism whether Ben had been here or

not. He and Dolores and Paul are

not responsible for these controver-

sies. The seeds were sown long be-

fore they arrived. So I urge all of

those who would demonize Ben

Patterson to set aside for a moment

their own personal opinion, and say

thank you for the work he has done.

Two things that are indisputable are

that Ben loves Jesus and Ben loves

us. C a n ' t we learn f rom that no

matter what side of the controver-

sies we fall on?

Queer Campus 2000 makes visible statement To the Editor,

This morning some of you may

have awoke to see flyers posted

all over campus with the phrase,

"We ' r e here! We're queer! Gel

used to it!" on them. These flyers

have been put up as a means lo

create awareness among the Hope

College community. These post-

ers are in no way associated with

G.L.O.B.E. . Al though our g roup

supports G.L.O.B.E. In every way.

we ourselves are not members of

their organization, and do not wish

to see G.L.O.B.E. held responsible.

Our group feels that it is important

to understand that diversity does

exist at Hope College. As a society

we should strive to understand all

that our world holds for us. We will

not go back lo hiding who we are.

Odd smells near library concern To the Editor,

After reading Jane Bast 's ar-

ticle last week, I was inspired to

(in her words) "find the root of

the problem and take the steps to

change it." I was wondering if

anyone knows what is causing the

area outs ide of the Van Wylen

Library lo slink so much. (Any-

one who walks by this part of

campus knows what I am talking

about). Every time I have passed by

the area between Peale and the li-

brary in ihe past couple months, I

gag. Is it manure? If so, why are

they fertilizing the area during the

winter? Is it a problem with the

sewer lines around that city block?

Perhaps the offensive smell is the

slinky progeny of male and female

trees? Did a small animal die in the

glances away f rom me.) And to the

kid that stole my walch pin: my

Does Hope need parietals? Do we obey them?

I l ' s 12 a.m. on anolher Tuesday

n igh t . You and a c l a s s m a t e a re

working on a presenlalion for Ed

Psych when you hear a knock on

the door. "Midnight ," your R A says.

"Time for your fr iend to leave."

According to ihe Hope Col lege

H a n d b o o k of S e l e c t e d P o l i c i e s ,

Gues l Hours , or parietals, govern

the visiting privileges of m e m b e r s

of the opposi te gender in order to

create a safe, private, and quiet at-

m o s p h e r e in c o l l e g e r e s i d e n c e s .

Members of the opposite sex are not

al lowed to visit rooms between 12

a.m. and 10 a.m. dur ing the week ,

and f rom 2 a.m. to 10 a.m. Friday

and Saturday.

" I t ' s very similar to your home , "

said Amber Garrison, director of Ju-

d ic ia l A f f a i r s . "You o f t e n h a v e

limes when you do not wish to have

guests in your home. In a res idence

hall, apar tment , or cot tage, visita-

tion occurs dur ing c o m m o n visit-

ing limes. This is a lso to respect the

rights of r o o m m a t e s or communi ty

members who may not wish to have

gues t s in thei r c o m m u n i t y at all

hours of the night ."

According to Garr ison, parietals

protect a communi ty within a resi-

dential unit by helping to create an

env i ronment that is r espec t fu l to

everyone. .

"I think that they are unnec-

essary and that people a lways

break them anyway."

- J u l i e Murray ( ' 01 )

"Res iden t s should feel comfor t -

able walking around in their curl-

ers or a ba throbe af te r certain hours

without having to worry about be-

ing seen," Gar r i son said. "It a lso

helps identify persons w h o should

not be present in the hall at all."

Whi le parietals may be des igned

to respect s tuden t s ' r ights, m a n y

students d o n ' r like them. S o m e stu-

dents feel parietals insult their ma-

turity.

% "I think w e ' r e old enough to be

responsible and shouldn ' t have to

have a special hour to leave," said

Meg Davis ( '03) . "We don ' t have

cur fews . W e ' r e not high schoolers

anymore . "

Some students feel that parietals

are too parental in nature.

" W e came to col lege to be away

f r o m our parents," said Rob Bartlett

( ' 03 ) . "Parietals are like having an-

o t h e r paren t the re w a t c h i n g our

back."

Few students would say they love

parietal hours . However , some stu-

dents are rather indifferent to the

rule. S ieve Frey ("04), who lives in

Phe lps and has a g i r l f r i end w h o

lives in Van Vleck, agrees that pa-

r ie ta l s a re a n n o y i n g , but unde r -

"I think [Hope] is trying to up-

hold its bel iefs ," Frey said. "It was

den ts ' rooms, but not the

l iv ing r o o m or k i tchen

"Everyone that lives

in a cot tage breaks pa-

rietals," Bartlett said.

Col lege East resident

Lee Kiessel ( '03) agrees

that breaking parietals in

apar tments and col lages

is rather easy.

"I don ' l think parietals do

" M a y b e in do rms , but in cot-

tages and apar tments i l 's pretty

diff icult to enforce them."

Students c la im that parietals are

easy to break in residence halls as

well. All residents need to do is shut

the door and be quiet.

"[Parietals] are way too easy to

break to even be a rule ," said Kristi

VanderKolk ( '04) .

Il 's a dirty job , but somebody has

to document those w h o break pari-

etals. That responsibility falls on the

shou lde r s of Res ident Ass i s tan t s

f R A s ) . At the beg inn ing of each

year, R A s sign a contrac t s tat ing

that they will uphold Hope Col lege

policy, including parietal hours .

"I feel that if I know [students are

breaking parietal hours], I have to

write it down , " said Phelps RA Pe-

ter Schaa f sma ( '03) . "The Resident

Director takes care of the rest. T h e

R A never charges anyone. We just

document what happened . "

Van Vleck R A Sarah Cau lk says

that RAs are supposed to enforce

parietal hours as much as possible,

but il 's not an R A s j o b to go look-

ing for violators.

"If you k n o w of a boy or hear a

voice a f te r parietal hours, you have

to intervene," said Caulk. "But you

d o n ' t go knocking on doors ."

Both Caulk and Schaa f sma agree

that documentat ion is the worst part

of be ing an RA, especially docu-

ment ing parietal violators.

"You feel like y o u ' r e invading

someone ' s privacy and personal l ife

said. " S o m e t i m e s I fee l l ike the

" I t ' s so hard when you have to

Caulk said. "Bu t in that situation, I

Hav ing the ability to document

posi t ion of power.

W h i l e m o s t R A s do their j o b s

ca s iona l ly s o m e R A s can go on

power trips.

"I think s o m e people lake joy in

the fact that they have power and

can enforce the rules ," Caulk said.

"Bu t I think tha t ' s r idiculous. As an

y o u ' r e an authori ty f igure with re-

sponsibili ty. If I see inappropriate

behavior , I have to do something

about it. But I cer ta inly don ' t sit

Neither Caulk nor Schaafsma feel

that parietal hours are that big of a

deal and can unders tand why Hope

Col lege has them.

Caulk points out that no matter how

late the hours are pushed back, a

limit will a lways annoy students.

"There has to be a limit some-

where . " Cau lk said. "People will

r> SETTING S A I L

Spot l ight edi tor The best? She was two years ahead of me

in school .

I d idn ' t know her well, but she

said a f e w w o r d s 1 k n o w even

now. seven years a f te r they left

her mouth in a burst of f rus t ra-

tion.

" Ju l i e—What are you doing!?"

I w a s r u n n i n g — o r t r y ing to

run—the first 4 0 0 m of m y high

school track career. Apparent ly, I

w a s g o i n g even s l o w e r than I

thought.

It wasn ' t , by any means, a no-

t a b l e t r ack c a r e e r , but it had

worth: in that second, her words

taught me two things about life.

First, the four hundred wasn ' t m y

event . Second , at that m o m e n t ,

running like crazy, I thought I was

trying m y very best; but as m y

ears caught her words , m y con-

science also caught a bit of the

truth. I wasn ' t . I was hiding the

best even f rom mysel f .

I. like everyone , have a fear of

fa i lure . M o r e i m p a c t i n g , h o w -

ever. is the fear to do m y best. I

am scared because , once the best

is taken, what is left? With that

o u n c e of restraint I keep myse l f

safe. With success comes a standard

that mus t then be m e t — n o t jus t

somet imes , but every t ime. T h a t ' s

scary.

We fall into this pattern of fear

o f t en , and s o m e t i m e s don ' t even

know it. We are stuck on the line

be tween failure and doing our best,

teetering, hoping we won ' t fall off .

If we fall off, we fail, and lose a little

bit of l i f e—or that 's what it feels

like. Even if we fall off into doing

our best , then w e ' v e still fallen off

life a little. We have interrupted that

coveted balance in life we set as the

goal to be achieved.

O v e r the s u m m e r m y c o u s i n

J a c o b c a m e to visi t . He w a s six

months old and more interested in

the box that his new toy c a m e in

than the toy. I marvel led at his abil-

ity to push beyond his limits as he

held himself up on one small fist

while the other hand grabbed for the

top of the box. For some reason, he

wanted it more tan anything, but he

c o u l d n ' t q u i t e r e a c h it. He jus t

cou ldn ' t .

S tanding above him, I could see

a l i t t le p i ece of m a g i c that he

cou ldn ' t : he wasn ' t big enough or

strong enough. Yet. In less than a

month, he would be.

His f ace turned red whi le his

arm squi rmed uselessly in the air.

There was so much frustration, but

he k n e w he mus t try. A n d . in a

matter of days, one piling on an-

other as days jus t seem to do, the

box would fall over and all his e f -

fort , useless as it initially seemed,

would be worth it.

He is now maybe a year old. but

I admire him already. T h e fear , it

doesn ' t matter to him.

T h e success, he won ' t even re-

member it. But as the days pile up

to mounta ins , he will r e m e m b e r

the act of doing his best.

The act of a lack of fear. T h e act

that moves our lives past the sanely

boring into the world of greatness,

r ichness, possibility.

As I leave the Anchor I will grab

t enac ious ly at that box l ike m y

little cousin because, w h o knows ,

one day it just might fall over.

O n e day it just might be full of

success.

opera "The Coronat ion of Poppea"

presented by the Curt is Institute of

Music .

' T h i s isn't my first major role but

it is in a full length foreign language

because this opera is in Italian and

it look a long t ime to learn and to

translate all that I have to say," said

Arwady.

T h e opera, a tragic love story, is

one of the oldest wr i t ten operas ,

hav ing premiered in 1642.

"I t ' s not exactly your toe-tapper."

A r w a d y said. " I t ' s a lot of ear ly

music. . . i t 's not your

t rad i t iona l big or-

chestra in the pi ts ."

" I ' l l stay here at Curt is for prob-

During most of her t ime at Curtis.

Arwady sings.

"Curt is is not exact ly academic.

m u c h more for my Mas te r ' s than

eat. sleep, slay well, and sing, which

is f i n e — I a m c o o l w i t h t h a t , "

Arwady said.

Arwady uses this extra t ime to do

all the reading she didn ' t have lime

to do at Hope. Her l ife at Curt is in

Philadelphia isn't the same as it was

at Hope in some ways, and in oth-

ers, it is similar.

"I t ' s very d i f ferent than Hope in

thai I am in a big city. I t ' s s imilar in

the fact that i t ' s really really small

so I know everyone. There

a re only 168 s tudents at

Arwady does, however ,

carry a piece of Hope with

her.

" T h e E n g l i s h d e p a r t -

else taught me happiness ."

Her next pe r fo rmance will be in

son as they won their own tourna-

ment the Subway Shootou t for the

second consecut ive year defea t ing

Spring Arbor in the championsh ip

game 85-73.

"It was nice to play at home, w e

practice on it e v e r y d a y " said cen -

ter Amanda Kerkstra ( ' 03 ) "You ' r e

used to the sounds, and the w a y the

ball bounces . You spend 25 hours

there a week and it 's like h o m e . "

On Friday night the Flying Dutch

defeated T h o m a s More . Ky. 77-37.

Af te r fal l ing behind 12-9 early in

the game, the Flying Dutch went on

to out score the Saints 68 -25 cap-

turing the lopsided win.

and 10 rebounds, as fo rward Laura

Poppema (*02) was credi ted with

12 points and 12 rebounds . Guard

Amy Bal tmanis ( ' 03 ) had 5 steals.

In the championsh ip g a m e vic-

Hope guard Kathi Grotenhuis ( ' 03 )

hit 2 3 -po in t e r s late in the ha l f .

which gave the Flying Dutch a 41-

36 ha l f t ime lead.

"They were in a zone defense , so

we knew we needed some outside

shoot ing to get things go ing , " said

Grotenhuis . "I was just open on the

wing so I shot it. They seemed like

pretty big shots because it may have

shif ted the m o m e n t u m a little go-

ing into ha l f t ime ."

T h e F ly ing Du tch car r ied that

m o m e n t u m into the second half to

take both the game and the tourna-

rebounds. Others contributing to the

Hope win were Kerkst ra with 18

points.

"I think that we played really well

last weekend . It was a step ahead

for us because w e are really start-

really f igured out our capabil i t ies
