Hope students nervously await Gulf actions

by Scott A .Kaukonen news editor The d e a d l i n e for I r a q ' s withdrawal from Kuwait in accordance with the United Nation's resolutions has passed and last minute attempts to find a peaceful solution appear in vain.

President George Bush has received the approval of the Congress to utilize force to remove Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's troups from Kuwait.

United Nations General S e c r e t a r y Simon P e r e z De Cuellar and United States Secretary of State J a m e s Baker have bothemerged from talks with senior I r a q i officials without any progress.

But

despite the dimness of the situa tion over the weekend, Hope students did not surrender to the inevitability of war.

Across campus, people gathered for prayer, some in public such as those in Dimnent Chapel on Sunday and Monday; some were private, such a s was held in College E a s t Apartment C-5. Jennifer J a r v i s ('92), who invited people to her aparmtnet to pray Monday night, said, l4I felt pretty helpless about the whole situation and I wanted something for me and others-to pray for God's will. I've been very anxious as someone who has never seen the start of a war before."

With Congressional debate still

ongoing, Bob Anderle i y o put together a petition last Thursday to send to Ninth District U.S. Congressperson Guy VanderJagt (R-Luther) a s well as the two Michigan Senators, Democrats Don Riegle and Carl Levin.

Anderle said he thought there "must be a way to do something quickly that could have an inf l u e n c e (on C o n g r e s s i o n a l debate)." The petitions, which g a r n e r e d a p p r o x i m a t e l y 260 signatures, expressed the desire to avoid war, stating that "the lives of the soldiers of the numerous nations prepared to fight must not be sacrificed over such economic concerns as oil supplies, or in order for the United States to 'save face."'

While condemning the actions of Hussein, the petitions urged a peaceful, non-military solution through diplomatic action and sanctions.

Julie Carlson ('92), Jonathan Quirk ('92), Ari Singh Anand ('93), and Jill Sandor ('93) attended a " t e a c h - i n " at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Saturday. It was sponsored by the Coalition of Community and University Groups for Peace in the Gulf. The event drew national a t t e n t i o n .

The "teach-in" was a full day of assemblies and workshops featuring numerous speakers, many of the professors and students from various local colleges and univerities.

"I think there a r e so many perspectives to know and underst a n d , " s a i d C a r l s o n . 4 l As Westerners we don't always look at it from Kuwaiti, the Palestinian, or the Israeli perspectives." Carlson noted that the University of Michigan campus features many Arab and Jewish students that a r e able to lend their experience and expertise to the debate.

Carlson said the reason she went stemmed from "...how I feel about Christ calling m e to be a peacemaker - understanding how to reconcile." According to Carlson, "Awareness is the first step to change - what has gone on. what has not gone on."

Administration proposes endowment increase

The Hope college administration is testing the waters for a possible fund-raising campaign to raise the college endowment by $35 to $50 million dollars.

Following the recommendations of the President and the Strategic Planning report, the administration is currently in the private phase of the campaign, talking with people to determine the feasibility of such a drive.

According to Bill Anderson, vice-president for business and finance, in any fund drive of this sort, "a majority of the money will come from a few key people."

T h e additional money for the endowment won t really help us do a lot of new things, but it will enable us to do, what we do, better. For example, some teachers a r e overloded. We need to add a few positions, but don't have the money to do so."

A large portion of the money is being considered for maintaining Hope's ability to provide the

financial aid it does. Other areas being considered which could benefit from a fund-raising drive include the library collection and the addition of a few new endowed chairs.

The last such big fund drive was about five years ago, according to Anderson, and the school raised around $30 million. Most of that money was put into buildings and only about $4 million was put towards the endowment.

The school has brought back the same consultants as last time and those in the administration who a r e involved now have the experience they did not have five years ago.

According to Anderson, a larger endowment would further insulate Hope from cycles in the economy. Currently, approximately 70 percent of the Education and General budget is paid for by tuition and fees (the E-G budget takes up approximately 75 percent of the total budget).

T h i s m a y b e c o m e "dangerous," said Anderson, "if See ' E n d o w m e n t / P. 2

As compared with other Great Lakes College Association schools, Hope's endowment, at $28 million, is near the bottom of the barrel - only Antioch College is lower. The next lowest is $37 million.

The average is around $80 million with Oberlin College topping out near $250 million. Accor-

noted that Hope s funds a r e professionally managed.

"Financial markets a r e always cyclical.

You overcome the bad y e a r s . " Hope made about 14 percent on its endowment last year, bringing in around $2.5 million, which Anderson classified as good.

Despite only earning around 10 percent, Anderson noted that Oberlin College, with its much larger endowment, was still able to make around $25 million.

Anderson did express concern that the state of the economy may make it more difficult to raise the funds.

Bob De Young, vice-president for college advancement, said.

As c o m p a r e d w i t h o t h e r G r e a t L a k e s College Association schools, Hope's e n d o w m e n t , a t $ 2 8 m i l l i o n , is n e a r t h e b o t t o m of t h e b a r r e l -- o n l y A n t i o c h C o l l e g e Is l o w e r . ding to Anderson, the fund drive being look at at would bring H o p e ' s e n d o w m e n t u p to average. "The college doesn't want a huge endowment. There is a danger there of becoming elitist."

During the recent troubles of the economy, "We haven't done any better or worse than other colleges," said Anderson, who

"You're asking people to m a k e two gi f t s ~ one to operations (the annual fund) and one to the fund drive. They increase their total gift, but sometimes the gift to the annual drive will be less."

According to De Young, "To raise the money we would like to raise, it will be about a year until we know (if a fund drive can be successfuD."

(HOPE) - Hope College senior Heidi Hudson of Waukesha. Wis . has been awarded a prestigious British Marshall Schoiarship. one of only 4<) presented annually to undergraduate students from throughout the United States The award is the second such major honor received by a Hope student in the past four years In 1986. Daniel Stid received the Rhodes Scholarship The college has also had four Marshall finalists in the last five years The British Marshall Scholarship program was established by the British government in 1953 as a way of recognizing the United States' role in Europe's recovery following World War II. Designed for citizens of the Unites States who a r e graduates of U.S. colleges and universities, British Marshall Scholarships may be used at any British university, and are of two-year duration.

Hudson is majoring in special education and is currently student teaching in Wisconsin. Next year she intends to continue her studies at the University of Manc h e s t e r , one of the largest schools of education in the United Kingdom.

Her selection ended a process of several months that involved her nomination by Hope College faculty, the submission of an essay and recommendations, reviews at the regional and national level, and an interview in Chicago. Scholars were selected on the basis of their intellect and character as evidenced both by their scholastic attainments and by their other activities and achievements.

"The British Marshall Scholarship c a r r i e s with it g r e a t prestige, both for the student and for her college," said Dr. Jacob Nyenhuis, provost at Hope. "All of us rejoice with Heidi Hudson at this singular recognition that she has received."

"1 am especially pleased that the British Marshall Scholarship has been granted to a young woman who has made a commitment to teaching, for it is important that we recruit our best and b r i g h t e s t s t u d e n t s into the teaching profession. ' Nyenhuis said.

"She is a most qualifu-d individual for an award like this, and we're all elated that she has received the scholarship," said I)r l^amont Dirkse. chairperson of the education department "Heidi is a very creative person and an individual who doesn't do only what she has to do - she goes way beyond "She is also very perceptive and a caring, feeling person," Dirkse said. "She will be an exceptionally fine teacher."

Hudson was advised through the application process by Dr William Cohen, professor of history at Hope College, who believes her commitment to education, ability and character c o m b i n e d to m a k e her an especially appealing candidate.

"She's smart, she's articulate and she is modest, all at the s a m e time, and she has a passion for the field of education," Cohen said. "She cares about young people as people and she cares about course content a s well."

Hudson's interest in a teaching c a r e e r p r e d a t e s her college enrollment, and even while in high school she helped special needs children. As a Hope student, she spent her sophomore year in Costa Rica, where she worked with hearing-impaired children - an experience that helped reinforce her commitment to the goals she will be pursing at the University of Manchester.

"Through exposure to educational systems in the United States and Latin America, I have come to realize the wide variety

of m e t h o d s t h a t exist for teaching children with special needs," Hudson said "The British Marshall Scholarship provides an excellent opportum ty to learn more about this " "Studying at the University of Manchester will allow me (n observe British approaches to educational method and learning theory." she said "I look for ward to doing so at an institution that attracts students not only from within the United Kingdom but also from places like Nigeria.

Malaysia, India, Hong Kong, Iran and Venezuela."

She intends to earn advanced degrees in both special education and international special educa tion while at the University of Manchester, and plans to return to the Milwaukee. Wis., area to teach in a special education classroom at the elementary grade level Hudson eventually hopes to teach education at a coi lege or university, sharing with future teachers her experience in the elementary classroom She has a c h i e v e d an 3.8 cumulative g r a d e point average on a four point scale while main taining an active extracurricular schedule.

Hudson has been involved in the College Chorus, Nykerk, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, the Council for Exceptional Children, the Handicap A w a r e n e s s C o m m i t t e e and track. She has also worked with the Center for Women in Transi tion in Holland and as a volunteer with a r e a schools.

The college's last Marshall Scholarship winner was Lynne Vande Bunte, a 1964 Hope graduate and philosophy major who used her scholarship to study at the University of Wales Vande Bunte is now residing in San Jose, CA., where she is direc tor of program for Housing for Independent People.

Marshalls go to 40 students nationwide (Chicago) - The British Ambassador, Sir Antony Acland, ann o u n c e d t h a t 40 A m e r i c a n students have been awarded the prestigious British Marshall Scholarships to study at a university in B r i t a i n . His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales, Honorary Patron of the Association of Marshall Scholars, has been informed and has asked his best wishes and congratulations be conveyed to the 1991 scholars.

The 1991 scholars include the youngest U.S. chess champion since Bobby Fisher, one of the few undergraduates ever to address the American Physical

Societ) and the top cadei ai Wesi Point.

Marshall Scholarships, awarded every year since 1953, are Britain's national gesture of thanks to the American people for aid received under the Marshall Plan. The Scholarships, which a r e financed by the British Government, provide an opportunity for American students who have d e m o n s t r a t e d academic excellence to undertake undergraduate or graduate studies for two or three years at a B r i t i s h U n i v e r s i t y . Approximately 800 candidates apply for the scholarships each year. The costs cover tuition, books, travel and living a n d other related ex-

penses. E a c h scholarship is worth about $24,000.

The British Government has increased the number of awards from 30 to 40 per year with effect from 1991. This increase reflects the success of the program and the British Government's desire to see more Americans studying in the UK. Famous f o r m e r scholars include the inventor of the Dolby Sound System, Ray Dolby; the former Governor of Arizona and a 1988 Presidential contender, Bruce Babbitt; and the Pulitzer Prize winning Chief Diplomatic Correspondent of the New York Times, Tom F r e i d m a n .

College students can't avoid draft (CPS; -- while thousands of collegians already have been or a r e preparing to leave for the Persian Gulf as military reservists, a full-scale military d r a f t of young people would affect millions m o r e students.

During the Vietnam War - the last time the nation had a military d r a f t - the government offered enrolled collegians a deferment from active service.

As a result, thousands of men avoided military duty simply by continuing to register for classes, whether they needed to take them or not.

Such deferments, however, no longer exist

Under the current draft law, adopted in 1971, students would receive only t e m p o r a r y deferments.

A student drafted while in the middle of an academic term would be allows to delay going into the military only until the end of the term. A student in his final year of study would be able to defer leaving until the end of the academic year.

In addition, seminarians and s t u d e n t s a t divinity schools would be exempt from the d r a f t .

A d r a f t can be only by an act of Congress signed by the president. If one were set up, men tur ning 20 during the year the dr^ft

started would go first, hor in stance, if the draft begins in 1991, males born in 1971 would m a k e up the first pool of draftees.

When all available 20-year-olds had been drafted, 21-year-olds would be called up, followed by 22-year-olds, 23-year-olds, 24-year-olds and 25-year-olds.

The d r a f t would then work back to 19-year-olds and then 18-yearolds.

Anyone who was drafted and accepted for service would be required to stay in the military for at least 24 months, including training.

At present 14 million American men a r e registered for the d r a f t

Campus crime increase brings change to college police f o r c e s

by B.J.Hoeptner (CPS) ~ First there seemed to be a terrible change in campus crime nationwide.

Now, not so slowly, campuses a r e changing the way they're defending themselves against crime.

In recent months schools have hired more officers, s t a r t e d more sophisticated training programs, expanded their arrest powers and, most controversial of all, begun to a r m their people with guns.

Letting campus police carry guns is "a logical step to provide better service," maintained John McGinnis, head of security at M a r q u e t t e U n i v e r s i t y in Milwaukee, whose unarmed officers currently a r e fighting to become commissioned by thi state and thus qualified to carry guns.

On the other hand, many students at Millersville University of Pennsylvania, where a debate to a r m officers has been raging for a year.'don't see any reason for (campus) police to h a v e g u n s , " r e p o r t e d Doug K i l l o u g h , a m e m b e r of Millersville's student government.

Nevertheless, scores of schools a r e considering it.

The State University of New York system, the University of Michigan, California,University of Pennsylvania, Millersville, Marquette and Mesa State College all have considred whether to commission their officers and allow them to c a r r y guns this year.

Part of the reason campus police want more power comes f r o m an i n c r e a s e d u s e of weapons in crimes on college campuses, said John Carpenter, public safety officer for San Diego State Unviersity and a former president of the International Association of Campus Law E n f o r c e m e n t Administrators (IACKEA).

"We have an arsenal h e r e " of a r m s confiscated trom campus criminals. Carpenter said.

percent of the student s supported the proposal. They gave reasons such as self defense and an increase in violent crime on campus.

"A student asked, 'how can you protect us when you can't even protect y o u r s e l v e s ? " ' said M i l l e r s v i l l e police d i r e c t o r Wayne Silcox in explaining why his department wants guns.

Since t h e ( s t i l l - u n s o l v e d ) Silcox said campus officers murders of five students in have been reintroducing the proGainesville, Fl.. in late August, posal each year since 1986, when campus cops have had to face ara student was stabbed by an sons, frightening riots, murders, assailant. assaults and other felonies at Unlike many other schools this Lock Haven University, the State fall, however, Millersville decidUniversity of New York at Bufed not to adopt guns. falo.

Moreover. Carpenter added, "It's really frustrating" for college police who don't have the power to arrest criminals, or carry a gun, yet still must confront serious crimes on campus.

There has indeed been an uncanny series of m a j o r league crimes for campus officers to battle this fall.

(CPS) -- As many as one of every 500 college students is carrying the AIDS virus, a study released Nov. 29 by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and the American College Health Association indicates.

A similar 1988 study of blood samples anonymously tested by the CDC indicated similar infection rates on campuses.

The new survey indicates 25,000- 35,000 students a r e infected with the HIV virus, which eventually causes the body's immune system to break down.

Young Americans turning more conservative, says poll (CPS) -- A majority of Americans aged 16-to-24 favor the death penalty, random drug testing and keeping marijuana illegal, a new Gallup Poll conducted for Fuji Photo Film, U.S.A., Inc. showed Forty-nine percent of the 1,003 people surveyed described themselves a s politically conservative, while 39 percent called themselves liberal.

Some 31 percent of the respondents supported reinstating a military d r a f t of young people during the Persian Gulf crisis.

Campuses start to unveil tuition hikes for next fall (CPS) - Officals at several colleges quietly announced tuition hikes during the holiday season, when campuses were virtually depopulated At Peninsula College in Port Angeles. Washington, President Paul Cornaby announced tuition next fall would rise by 9 percent for in-state students.

On Dec. 11. Seattle Pacific University announced a price hike of 7 percent, "which administrators forecast to be lower than the increase in the 1990 Consumer Price Index ( C P I ) . " The CPI, however, promted about 20 City University of New York students to sit-in at a campus library Dec. 20.

patrols

(CPS) - Hoping to protect students who may be less careiui about their own security as they return to school the week of Jan. 7, Gainesville police announced they will increase security patrols in and around the University of Flordia campus.

It was in August, at the start of last semester, that five students were slain in off-campus apartments.

At the s a m e time, city officals lobbied in Washington, D C. for help in paying for the estimated $3 million six police agencies have spent in chasing more than 5,500 leads in the still-unsolved murder cases.

Student alcohol

use rises

(CPS) - Nearly all first-year collegians drink heavily, and frequently "binge" on five or more drinks at one sitting at least once every other week, a new study by Harvard's School of Public Health contends.

The study of 1,669 students also found they used less marijuana, cocaine and tabacco than first-year students interviewed in a similar 1977 study.

All-college formal set for mid-February Sharon Roebuck Staff Writer The date for this year's Fantasia has been set for February 16, which falls conveniently after winter break.

The formal, held at the Amway Grand Plaza in Grand Rapids, will take place in two ballrooms, the A m b a s s a d o r , and the Pantlind. The former holds 300 people while the latter holds 100.

The entertainment consists of two bands, J a d y Kurrent, who performed at the 1990 Homecoming, and the Wild Woodies. Jady Kurrent is replacing a group called Sharp who, according to Robert Martin, formals committee chairperson for SAC, "broke out of their contract within the allotted time to do so," to tour

Japan. Kurrent was made available through the s a m e manager of Sharp at a discount because of the inconvenience.

Kurrent, a five m e m b e r dance band, will perform in the Ambassador ballroom. The Wild Woodies, a three m e m b e r band will showcase relaxed entertainment in the Pantlind. The bands will be performing alternately so that there will be continuous entertainment.

Each person atteding the formal will have to wear a r m b a n d s given upon r e g i s t r a t i o n for security reasons. The a r m b a n d s will replace the ultra-violet light detected hand stamps that are so e a s i l y w a s h e d off. A m w a y security guards will be posted at each ballroom entrance to make sure students have these on.

Tickets will cost $35.00 per couple and will go on sale J a n u a r y 25, at 7:30 a.m. in the DeWitt Center lounge until they a r e all sold. If there a r e remaining tickets they will be sold either the following Friday or in the Student Devlopment ofice in DeWitt.

Additionally, students may purchase parking tickets if they plan to park in the Amway parking g a r a g e on Monroe Street for a discounted r a t e of $7.00 for valet and $5.00 for self-park. Also coupons for tux rentals from The Tux Shop in Holland on West Eighth Street, will be offered a a discount rate of $30.00. Both will be sold along with entry tickets.

The ladies will each be given a long-stem rose upon entry at the formal as an added touch.

Biology professor sends books to Mexico (Holland) - When Harvey Blankespoor attended an international conference at Universidad Autonoma de Nuevo Leon, near Monterrey, Mexico, two things most impressed him: his hosts' hospitality a n d their library's need.

Consequently, upon his return to the United States the Hope College biology professor devised a way to repay the gracious treatment he had received a s a guest: he arranged to send extra copies of scientific journals and textbooks to the university's library.

That was three years ago, and

Blankespoor - with the help of other scholars, the college's library and Parke-Davis Inc. has arranged to send a third shipment of books to Mexico. And the 80-100 gift boxes of books, with a timely Christmas-season departure from campus on Wednesday, Dec. 5 and from Holland later this month, concern not only biology, but also fields such as chemistry, physics, mathematics and history.

"The conference was without any doubt the most hospitable meeting I've ever been to," said Blankespoor, Frederich Garrett

and Helen Floor Dekker, professor of biology at Hope. "It really created a spot in my heart to try to help them out, because I just know that if you're going to conduct scientific investigations you need to have the appropriate literature."

The journals and books sent to Mexico a r e donated by several organizations and individuals.

Blankespoor places notices in the college's Peale Science Center, letting colleagues know when the next roughly-annual shipment is due to depart.

Platform lofts are designed w i t h sleeping arrangements under the lofts. Public safety Officer Jerry Gunnink approved th i s loft design.

Prof leads workshops

NEH grant supports library collection

'Holland) - Through a three part workshop, Hope College professor Miehael Seymour is help ing 24 area elementary teaehers learn that many aspeets of ehemistry ean be both fun to study and easy to teaeh "My main goal is to try to show teaehers that ehemistry can be interesting and exeitmg. and that it doesn't have to be expensive." said Seymour, associate professor of chemistry at Hope "I'm also trying to give teachers a better background in the con lent of chemistry -- what it's about - and to give them some activities for their students So much of what happens in our daily lives is related to chemistry . " The free program is funded through a $5,000 grant from the Institute for Chemical Education (ICE), and features classroom activites outlined in a workbook provided by ICE. The participants have been meeting one Monday evening per month since October, reviewing and practicing the activities, learning about the principles involved and exploring effective teaching strategies.

Seymour is emphasizing the scientific principles behind the activities so that the teaehers will u n d e r s t a n d m o r e about chemistry and be more confident teaching it -- ideally prompting them to include more science in their classroom instruction.

To enable the teachers to give their students as much hands-on experience a s possible, he is showing them how to reduce the time and acquire the resources required to create useful ex periments. Many activities in-

(Holland) -- A major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) will help Hope College enhance the h u m a n i t i e s collection of its library.

The $600,000 NEH challenge grant will be used to both make immediate improvements in the Van Wylen Library's humanities collection and establish and en dowment to provide continuing support.

"I'm just delighted that the NEH has awarded this challenge grant," said Dr. John H. Jacobson, President of Hope College.

"It will be of m a j o r assistance in reaching the college's goal of enhancing its support of the library and the services the library provides.

"It's a tremendous affirmation to have a m a j o r federal agency demonstrate such a great degree of confidence in the college through a challenge grant of this m a g n i t u d e , " said Dr. J a c o b Nyenhuis, Provost at Hope College and director of the grant

To generate the elementary students' enthusiasm, the experiments a r e also designed to be not only educational but entertaining. Some of the acitivities include red cabbage juice to discover the " p H " of solutions; creating " s l i m e " to learn how to s t u d y t h e p r o p e r t i e s of substances and to make scientific observations; and using food coloring and water to determine the effect of temperature on the density of liquids.

Seymour's interest in working with e l e m e n t a r y t e a c h e r s developed relatively recently, as a result of his being asked to teach in the " P a r t n e r s in Science E d u c a t i o n " course that premiered at the college in the fall of 1989 through the Kellogg

Seymour is currently planning an intensive four-day version of the workshop for the summer, and will plan other sessions a s the interest of area teachers m a k e appropriate.

"The participants' response has been very p o s i t i v e , " Seymour said. " I ' d like to m a k e the program an annual activity so that other teaehers could become involved, especially those who would like to teach more science, but feel they haven't had a n a p p r o p r i a t e background."

Panicking won't help Sitting alone in the room, through the walls comes the sound of CNN with the latest information from the Middle E a s t . Standing in line at Phelps, people debate the ethics of a war Walking throuRh the Pine Grove, the wind carries a conversation concern ing a p o t e n t i a l d r a f t .

In tense times such as these, ones our generation has never ex perienced, uncertainty, fear, anger and helplessness are only a few of the mixed-up emofions racing through our minds. Amidst it all, the study of Shakespeare or anvthing other than the latest news d o e s n ' t seem too i m p o r t a n t .

What does it mean for this campus as we stand on the verge of war? Panic is not going to help. Repression won't either. One can't just s c r e a m ; one c a n ' t just hold it in. Piling the crisis in the Gulf on top of all the other daily stresses in a college student's life can be painful.

Students a r e encouraged to talk to the counseling center, to someone in Student Development, to the Chaplain's office or to a f r i e n d if t h e y a r e c o n c e r n e d .

Prayer services a r e continuing throughout campus. The one in Dimnent on Monday afternoon drew over 500 people. Hiey will continue evervdav at 4:30 for the time being. Individual prayer g r o u p s c a n |>e f o u n d t h r o u g h o u t c a m p u s .

Though the use of the d r a f t could oe swiftly passed by Congress, that does not necessarily mean it would initially be used.

But the consequences of a d r a f t and what that means need to be made available. The college needs to bring a recruiter to campus who can inform the students of just how the d r a f t works and all that is involved.

Many rumors a r e floating about campus and many questions exist for the students who would be among those eligible. The college should also help students in obtaining information regarding conscientious obiector status.

Students and faculty need to be a w a r e of potential anti-Arab sentiment.

Be careful of rumors. In times like this, rumors a r e plenty both of a local and international nature. Stay informed by watching the news or r e a d i n g the n e w s p a p e r .

Don't quit studying. This is only a short-term solution.

Finally, maintain a respect for persons who may not share the same view of the situation. It is possible to totally disagree with people about what is happening, but that should not lessen their right to those opinions.

Be a w a r e of your emotions and opinions. Share them in a respectful manner. Arguing won't solve anything and with issues of this magnitude it is often impossible to convince others of your opinion.

On the other hand, do not keep quiet. Voice your opinion respectfully. Discussion is needed at all levels in America from Hope students to the President and his advisors.

Representatives announced that it approved the resolution's counterpart shortly afterward.

Regardless, the most impor tant thing is that we raised our voices, and m a d e use of a very special luxury, our democracy

Our administration continues to hold that a declaration of war pending Hussein's actions on J a n u a r y 15 is not necessarily emminent. Frankly I believe our congress, not acting entirely according to the people's apparent will, has handed our nation a ticket to war.

When this letter is read on J a n u a r y 16, our country may or may not be on its way to confron tation. That will be up to George Bush.

I do not know if our petitions were read amidst the swamp of mail our representatives have surely been receiving. Each of the local offices was contacted regarding the petitions, and we hope that our collective will was conveyed to Washington. I do know that both Senator Leven and Riegle voted against the resolution, so we m a y take comfort at least in that. Of VanderJ a g t ' s House vote 1 do not know

Now more than ever in this crisis the threat of war looms, and the prospect of a peaceful resoultion a p p e a r s to be fading As the powerful hope for a chance to improve their image and economic burdens at the cost of the lives of those who are, to many here, friends and loved ones, let us hope against hope Those of us who want peace must continue to pray and work for it Shalom.

Yes, t h a t m a y be the u n d e r s t a t e m e n i , of the y e a r . y T h e r e a r e a couple of aspects ^ r f k h e Gulf crises that cut to the

chase for Hope students. First, I'm male and of age. It's my generation that comes back on crutches, with seeing eye dops sterility, in wheelchairs and in body bags.

Unfortunately, there a r e some other e u p h e m i s m s blowing around in the wind. " I r a q i arm y " is one. Yes, there is a country called Iraq and, yes, they do have an a r m y , but it isn't entirely populated with a m o r a l and evil monsters. It is filled with men with families, seventeen y e a r old kids (that's sophomore and juniors in high school, folks)

The question is not one of going to war. The war began in August when Hussein's troups crossed the Kuwaiti border. The U.S., at the request of the Saudis and Kuwaitis, led the world effort to halt Hussein before he advanced into Saudi Arabia. But justice doesn't end at maintaining a relative status quo. We wouldn't ask it of the Lithuanians; we wouldn't ask it of the Palestinians; we wouldn't ask it of the black South Africans; we should not ask it of the Kuwaitis.

and thousands of men in their twenties.

These m e m b e r s of the Iraqi army a r e people just like our people over in Saudi Arabia.

I hear r e a d e r s , friends and other m e m b e r s of t h e a n c h o r ' s Editorial Board cry out.

Yeah, that bothers me too. And it's been bothering me since Hussein sent his people into Kuwait.

Naked aggression sickens me

Review. Since I knew that at some point I would have to attempt to answer the anchor s Editorial Board decision to support the U.S.'s presence and action there, I wanted to be informed.

I found that I could never get all the angles. But there comes a point where I have to make a decision without all the information.

The U.S. shouldn't be in Saudia Arabia because Hussein w a s working out a conflict with Kuwait about a disputed oil field.

His solution was invasion. Was it naked aggression like Hitler's in-

treaty ending the war in one week - back to the nation from whom he had won it - simply to assure that they wouldn't complete the circle of forces around him.

Hussein plays a g a m e called power. He does not see peace in and of itself as desirable. To him, peace is only desirable if it guarantees gain (land, oil, more power). He is not concerned with the plight of the Palestinian people out of the goodness of his heart, out of his sense of justice.

To Hussein, the Palestinian people a r e pawns, just a s his own people a r e He knows he cannot win a war with the U.S. and the rest of the world. But if he is going to go, he desires to take as many with him as he can, preferably many Americans and Jews.

Is war never justifiable, as I've heard some claim? There is no " j u s t " war? Would we still be British colonies? Would blacks still be slaves in the South?

Would all of Europe speak German? Would the J e w s be only a distant memory?

Maybe it is just that this w a r does not seem justifiable to you.

But then please answer me the question, "How does one stop a man like Hussein?"

We a r e there now. It is too late to bemoan why we're there. It is not too late to go to the negotiation table and find a solution.

"No compromise," Bush says.

If we're going to demand total enforcement of U.N. resolutions then the Israelis better obey and leave the West Bank. Hussein said he wants to talk about the West Bank in negotiations. Bush says,"No, no compromise."

The U.S. has been built on compromise. Our three branches of government c a m e out of compromise. But now, "no compromise."

Professor addresses responsible living

by Rychard Bouwens staff writer Paul W. Gikas, professor of pathology and assistant dean for admissions at the University of Michigan Medical School, addressed 44How Lifestyle Influences Deathstyle" just before s t u d e n t s left for C h r i s t m a s break.

Gikas explained that the use of t o b a c c o and e t h y l a l c o h o l adversely curtail the lives of those living today. While everyone will die eventually, Gikas reiterated that far too many people are dying p r e m a t u r e l y due to a poor stewardship of their bodies.

He stated: 4'You tell me how a society dies, and I'll tell you how a society lives." In fact, in the United States alone, each year 350,000 people die prematurely.

First, Gikas explored many of the detrimental effects of smoking cigarettes. Because of the poor survival rate of lung cancer, ingnorance of smoking dangers is simply not prudent.

Gikas said, "(Lung cancer) does not enjoy a high cure rate.

Congress Comer:

Student members meet with food service

Joe Miklosi Student Congress Student congress invited Phelps management to our first meeting this semester. They brought us pizza and pop and we brought to their attention various constitutent concers about the Kietz and Phelps cafeteria. Outside of Congress, we have been working on the first annual and upcoming Hope College Com munity Clean Up Day. During the first meeting of the year, besides mentioning around len suggestions for improving the food. Student Congress also showed a lot of interest towands Phelps m a n a g e r Chuck Melichori's idea to replace table tents with two electronic bulletin boards.

These boards would cut down on p a p e r w a s t e a n d h e l p preserve the environment. The two electronic boards would cost around $1700 dollars and would hang from the ceiling on the north and south ends of the cafeteria next to the two descending ramps. The boards would be able to be seen on both sides.

It was suggested that environmental conscientious groups might be interested in donating towards these items.

Money also could possibly come from the funded organizations that use table tents. This pro posal will be extensively resear ched.

Overall, the representatives applauded Chuck Mellichori and Hick Belfour not only for the in spiring food wast chart by alsc for improving the quality of food over last year.

Finally, I'd like to mention an idea that I truly believe will im prove Hope College and Holland Community relations Its call Hope College Community Clean Up Day. In a brief statement, this would be one Saturday set aside in early April or late March for cleaning and helping Holland residents, businesses, retirement homes, food shelters and any other needy person or group. It would be a day for Hope students to give half a day back to Holland. More information will be sure to follow. Don't forget, together we can make a difference.

'Last Temptation' demands reading, not picketing

by Jim Monnett arts editor " T h e Last T e m p t a t i o n of Christ" as a Martin Scoresce movie created a great stir of p i c k e t s a n d c h a r g e s of blaspheme, but the book upon which it was based is a triumph at bringing the Christ story into concrete reality.

Exiled Greek author Nikos Kazantzakis (1883-1957) wrote "The Last Temptation of Christ" in the 1940 5 because he has always struggeld with flesh and spirit.

'Christ suffered pain, and since then pain has been sanotified.'

-- A u t h o r N i k o s Kazantzkis Kazantzakis wrote in the Prologue, "This book was written because I wanted to offer a supreme model to the m a n who struggles; I wanted to show him that he must not f e a r pain, temptation or death - because all three can be conquered, all three have already been conquered.

"Christ suffered pain, and since then pain has been sanctified. Temptation fought until the very last moment to lead him a s t r a y , and Temptation was defeated. Christ died on the Cross, and at that instant death was vanquished forever." wrote Kazantzakis.

The book begins in Nazereth with a description of the village and of the earth. All cry out, "God of Isreal, God of Israel, Adonai, how long?" How long until the Messiah comes? " T h e L a s t T e m p t a t i o n of Christ" is about Israel, the Jews and all of humanity crying out to God to send the Messiah.

Kazantzakis picks up Jesus Christ's life right before he begins his ministry.

Jesus, the son of the carpenter and son of Mary, is a cross maker and does not know that he is God and the Messiah. What he does know is that he is frightened of God, in love with Mary Magdelene the prostitute, and that he cannot approach her without being struck down with convulsions. J e s u s w a n t s to m a r r y her.

J e s u s ' s desires and Kazantzakis' presentation of them is where Kazantzakis steps away from the Biblical Jesus into the '

realm of fiction. This is also where Christian critics attacked Scoresce's movie version of the book.

Kazantzakis' "The Last Temptation of Christ" presents a non biblical Jesus in one important way.

Bien (the book was written in Greek) explains the heresy that Kazantzakis based his Jesus on writing, 44Since, for Kazantzakis, freedom is not a reward for the struggle but rather the very process of struggle itself, it is paramount that Jesus be constantly tempted by evil in such a way that he feel its attractiveness and even succomb to it, for only in this way can his ultimate rejection of temptation have meaning."

"This is heresy," Bien continues, "It is the s a m e heresy that Milton, led by his scorn of cloistered virtue and his belief in the necessity of choice (ideas shared by Kazantzakis), slipped into on occasion - as when he declared that evil may enter the mind of God and, if unapproved, l e a v e 4 no s p o r t o r b l a m e behind."

In other words, Jesus must (for K a z a n t z a k i s ' p u r p o s e ) experience the temptation or the sin in his mind for him to be able to truly reject it. It only becomes a sin if he acts on it or ' approves" it by agreeing with it.

This is heresy because it is cont r a d i c t e d by t h e B i b l i c a l references to Christ saying that to think about a sin is to commit it within one's mind which is the same as physically doing it.

' . . . f r e e d o m is not a r e w a r d for the s t r u g g l e but rather t h e v e r y p r o c e s s of struggle itself/ --T r a n s l a t o r P.Z. B e i n

But if one is a w a r e that T h e Last Temptation of Christ" is a fictionalization of the events of the Biblical Gospels and that this heresy is part of Kazantzakis* point, the "The Last Temptation of C h r i s t " i s " s p i r i t u a l d y n a m i t e " (San F r a n s c i s c o Chronicle). It is a powerful book that brings the story of Jesus to vivid life.

Jesus Christ is a in this todk 'He is 'alid God How rlicf

Jesus, the apostles, the Jews, the Romans, the Samaritans, the Galileans reconcile the two?

To explore this, Kazantzakis focuses on Jesus, P e t e r , Thomas, Andrew, Jacon, Nathaniel, Simeon, Martha, Mary Magdelene.

Mary (his mother) and Matthew Each character is developed so that the story is brought to concrete reality.

The best thing "The Last Temptation of Christ" does is force the reader to consider how incredible it must have been to know Jesus Christ a s a man and to see the Gospel stories unfold with all the details and reactions added as must have occurred.

The last temptation that Christ must face is Satan's offering to him of a normal life where he falls in love, m a r r i e s and raises children. Only when Christ has rejected this can his cruxifiction and r e s u r r e c t i o n truly prophetically take place.

' W e s t r u g g l e , we see him s t r u g g l e a l s o , a n d we find strenath.'

--Kaza ntzkis

Why did Kazantzakis present Christ this way? Because "That part of Christ's n a t u r e which was profoundly human helps us to understand him and love him and to pursue his passion as though it w e r e our o w n , " a n s w e r e d Kazantzakis.

"If he had not with him this w a r m humane element, he would never be able to touch our hearts with such a s s u r a n c e and tenderness; he would not be able to become a model for our lives.

We struggle, we see him struggle also, and we find strength. We see that we a r e not all alone in the world: he is fighting at our side," wrote Kazantzakis Kazantzakis said, "This book is not a biography; it is the confession of every m a n who struggles...! am certain that every free man who r e a d s this book, so filled as it is with love, will move than ever before, better than ever before, love Christ."

Kazantzakis m a y be right. For people who already know the Biblical J e s u s this book will have a far reaching effect. It does bring Christ's life to vivid life, but more than this, it shows who Christ is and what Christian love actually means.

Album expresses affection for big band sound

by Tim Shaw staff writer Just when one thought thai contemporary vocal jazz was dead and buried, along comes the multi-talented Harry Connick, Jr. At the tender age of 22, Connick delivers a stellar compact disc "We Are In Love" to go along with s o m e i m p r e s s i v e c r e d e n t i a l s t h a t include the soundtrack "When H a r r y Met Sally", discs "20" and "Lofty's Roach Souffle", and a role in this past fall's " M e m p h i s Belle" film. Although this disc was released several months ago. it

was only recently that I decided to purchase a copy. I was pleasantly surprised and other listeners will be, too.

The growing trend of the 90 8 is the return of passion and the old fashioned Connick is certain to support this notion. To say that he is a romantic is a grave understatement - this guy is so straight and narrow that his automobile probably does not turn left or right.

Connick's vocal style is a cross between Bing Crosby and a soulful (and much younger) Frank Sinatra, the latter his alllime mentor. Most of the songs

were written or co-written by Connick, although there is a Cole Porter tune thrown in for good noasure. The song " D r i f t i n g " was written by Marc Shaiman. who c o n d u c t s the o r c h e s t r a assembled for the recording sessions. Shaiman recently did the musical score for the Rob Reiner movie " M i s e r y " .

Connick's mother, Anita, died when he was only 13 and he d e d i c a t e s this d i s c to h e r memory. For Connick the last song Buried in Blue' is a painful reminder of losing a loved one.

The strongest offerings of this 12-song compact disc (which is

digitally recorded) inlcude •Recipe For Love', Only 'Cause I Don't Have You', and the title track We Are In Love". ' F o r e v e r , F o r N o w ' is a somewhat jumpy number not unlike Miles Davis' 'So What' from the "Kind of Blue" album.

Saxophonist. Branford Marsalis plays on 'A Nightingale In Berkley Square' and T i l Dream Of You Again'. Other m e m b e r s of the band include Ben Wolfe on bass. Shannon Powell on drums, and Russ Malone on guitar Connick says of these three men

"there a r e no finer musicians in the business."

Overall, this is an impressive and original effort. There is no doubting Connick's intentions or talent, however it remains to be seen if he can outgrow his reputa tion as a dubious Sinatra imper sonator. In a recent "USA Weekend" interview Connick states. "I want to be huge. I want to be very famous." A self described egomaniac, the truth is Connick might achieve it faster than 'ol blue e y e s ' did himself.

'Mermaids' neither sinks nor swims

by Tim Shaw staff writer Although I enjoyed viewing this film, I cannot figure out why I liked this quirky tale of two women growing up. The pleasure may be hidden in the talented p e r f o r m a n c e s of an exciting cast. Nevertheless, " M e r m a i d s " is sometimes a revealing look a t New England life in the early i960's. Otherwise, it's merely emotional tension packaged a s the pains of coming of age.

The plot revolves around the Flax family as they leave Oklahoma for a " n e w " life in Massachusetts. Cher portrays the m a t r i a r c h , Rachel, while Winona (soon-to-be Mrs. Depp) Ryder plays Charlotte, the oldest of two daughters. Charlotte longs to be a nun, although this oneparent family is Jewish on the surface only. (Rachel's parents were proprietor's of a kosher deli in the midwest.)

The family move out on the Cape - next door to a convent where Charlotte becomes interested not only in the mvstique of the catholic church, but also in

Clarinetist

the 26-year-old c a r e t a k e r nanvxi Joe Peretti. Along the way, Rachel becomes involved with a shoe store owner n a m e d I^ou Landsky (Bob Haskins of 'Who F r a m e d Roger Rabbit' f a m e ) .

And while Lou inevitably tries to get Rachel to settle down and make a commitment, Charlotte must deal with the early tickings of her biological clock.

The momentum of the situation finally builds until Charlotte must choose between remaining virtuous or submitting to the infatuation that J o e represents. A little tragedy is tossed in for good measure, too. At the conclusion of the movie, everyone must make choices for the decidedly predictable happy ending. It works, but not well enough for any s e r i o u s p o s t - p r o d u c t i o n honors.

Cher brings to the screen that middle-aged " b a d girl" mentalitv, probably because of her real life exploits with younger men.

She has definitely lived the part in some respects. In one notable scene, Lou breaks the ice with Rachel by stating that she should call him "Lou", instead of "Mr

( H o l l a n d ) -- A u s t r a l i a n clarinetist Roslyn Dunlop will present a solo clarinet recital at Hope College on Wednesday, J a n . 16 at 8 p.m. in the DeWitt Center main theatre.

She will be performing music

by E n r i q u e R a x a c h , C h r i s Dench, Helmut L a c h e n m a n n , Michael Smetanin, J a m e s Dillon -p and Karlheinz Stockhausen.

^andsky". Cher deadpans back, "So Lou, call m e ! " Hoskins' raised eyebrows a r e worth watching in several scenes.

Ryder portrays Charlotte with some artistic flair - at the very least she is believable in a role that is not very challenging. It would have been interesting to compare her roles had she not dropped out of the cast of "Godfather III". Surely, she could have done better than Sofia Coppola . (Lighten up, Francis).

F r o m the c i n e m a t o g r a p h y angle, the film is pleasing to the eye and the soundtrack is quite adequate. Several scenes deal with the tragic news of President Kennedy's assassination and the ensuing footage brings a fresh perspective to t h a t national nightmare, along with a lump in one's throat.

The film is rated PG-13. There is some profanity and a few sexual situations, but nothing the average college student has not witnessed before. The bottom line (if there is one) may be that free love is not always free, and we're not just talking dollars and cents.

Dan Combs staff writer The Flying Dutch basketball team remained undefeated at home by passing Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic A s s ' n rival Olivet, 66-49, in a game last Saturday at the Dow Center Hope took the lead for good after trailing by two points with 4:32 remaining in the first half. A 14-4 run to end the first half put the Dutch ahead to stay. No one •player was the star of this game.

Hope used a well balanced attack to defeat Olivet. Eight different players scored for the Dutch, with Robin Schout ('91) 16 points, and Sarah Hackert (*92) 12 points leading the way.

Hope head coach. Sue Wise, felt that Schout really helped the team. "Robin s creating Robin can score when there a r e two or three people in her face and she just has that instinct to go to the hoop."

Olivet received 29 points from Julie Davis (492). Olivet played without Dana Osborn ( 4 93), which really affected the Lady Comets.

"She was one of our starters," said Olivet coach Bob Kubiak.

The Hope College swimming teams held an exhibition meet against Grand Rapids Junior Coiiege last Saturday at the Kresge Natatorium of the Dow Center after their Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association opening win against rival Calvin Coiiege.

Both t h e m e n ' s a n d the women's teams are very strong this year Coach John Patnott said."I think the strength for the men is our depth in most events.

We're particularly strong in aii the freestyle events."

"We don't really have any weak events except in diving and perhaps the 400 IM for the men," said Patnott. The team has no men diving for them this year after David Masselink ('91) hit his head on the diving board.

"Dave was injured last year and is still having effects from that injury." said Patnott.

"For the women, our strength is our strength. Our top swimmers are very, very good. If things go well and we do things right, we should dominate the league as far as first and second places go," said Patnott,"and we have decent depth for the women too."

The captains for the men are Kevin Burke ('91), Steve Smant ('91), and Matt Dahi

(*91). Patnott said of the captains,"They each lead in a different way. Kevin always has lots of enthusiasm and talk.

Steve is very supportive of the team and Matt is a leader in the way he trains."

The captains for the women are Jilanne Bannink ('91), Lori Gano ( '91), and Cristy Vredevelt (*91). "I think Jilanne is very supportive and Lon and Cristy are also very consistant at that." commented Patnott, "Jilanne and Lori are very good at leading by the way they train " With such a strong team this year, it may be surprising of what they want to work on Patnott commented, "What we need to work on most of all is confidence. Some of our top swimmers often will be a little insecure about their races."

He added,"They train very hard. I don't think we need improvement in that area. We do need improvement in our ability to concentrate " The exhibition gave the team more than just practice. "It gives us experience to swim events you normally don't get to swim." said Patnott, "I don't think we had our top swimmer in any one event tonight."

The meet also served another purpose "It gave us a relief from having to win a meet, but still have competition," commented Patnott.

This award-winning drama is the evocative story ot three outsiders: a foundling girl, an eccentric recluse and a d boy. eloquent in the language ol his silence. The tale, t ^ J with poetry and sign language, chronicles the journeys OT* these three to find themselves, and each other, in the troubled times of the great Depression. '
