Multicultural issues at Hope College were addressed at a forum sponsored by the Black Coalition, the Hispanic Students Organization and Student Congress last Thursday night.

T h e f o r u m f o c u s e d on educating the audience on the problems of racial prejudice here at Hope College and discussing steps to a solution. Junior Nelson Barret organized the forum and moderated the three hour discussion

Panel m e m b e r s for the forum were Jonathon Quirk (Black Coalition), Bonnie Solivan ( H i s p a n i c Student Organization), Jonathon Hoffman (Student Congress), Samatha Gano (Black Coalition), Eric Da vies (student), and William Taylor (student).

Quirk, the first speaker, emphasized racism in the north. He related Martin Luther King's civil right visit to Chicago "to show how the North through subtle r a c i s m " is often more brutal that the south.

He suggested that m e m b e r s of

the Hope College community "concentrate on action. If there's need for a change, we need to be committed. " Quirk said people need to find it within themselves and each other to achieve goals and put an end to racial tension at Hope.

"Social change in theis campus," Quirk said, "Won't come from wearing Martin Luther King's sweatshirts, but it will come throu doing something.

News Hope student faces assault charges A Hope student faces charges of a t t e m p t e d m u r d e r in a J a n u a r y 12 assualt in Kalamazoo according to the Holland Sentinel.

The victim was allegedly hit in the head with an aluminum baseball bat a f t e r the student and a companion forced their way into the victim's home. The student and companion went to the victim's home to get information about a party that was held there approximately three weeks before.

Allegedly, the student's friends had fought there. He and the victim ended up arguing about the incident even though the victim had not attended the party.

Following the a r g u m e n t , the two men forced their way into the victim's home. Upon entry the victim struck the companion with the bat. The student and the victim fought for control of the bat. When the student finally did

get the bat, he allegedly chased the victim from the house and struck him in the head with the bat on the front porch.

The alleged assailant and his companion left the victim in the street where he r e m a i n e d until a neighbor called the police.

The hospital bill is already approaching the $1 million m a r k for the victim. On the night of the incident, a doctor said then he had little chance of living without a series of operations.

The victim is an engineering student a t Western Michigan University who was supposed to g r a d u a t e this ye a r .

P r e l i m i n a r y hearings for the student w e r e held on J a n . 16. The companion faces an illegal entry charge.

The student posted 10 percent of a $50,000 bond while his friend posted a $500 bond in order to be released.

Education groups blast university rankings

by P a m Lundberg assistant news editor Charging lists that purport to rank colleges in order of their quality a r e misleading, a higher education group blasted M U.S. News and World R e p o r t " in late December for its annual "Best Colleges in A m e r i c a " list.

Officials of the National Center for Postsecondary Governance and Finance (NCPGF) at the University of Maryland said the criteria used to rank the schools dosn't paint an a c c u r a t e overall picture of the schools. " T h e rankings a r e n ' t worth a hoot," Donald Chait, Director of NCPGF, said, "They are a necessary marketing tool to sell magazines.

Americans love rankings."

Tom R e n n e r , D i r e c t o r of Public Relations at Hope, agreed. He said that college guides have become a fad - a consumer thing.

Rankings a r e done to inform high school s t u d e n t s about various colleges. Renner tells families to " U s e the guides to get a flavor; do not use that as judgm e n t . " Use these guides for association purposes only. This is because some guides do not approach the lists in a fair way.

Some a r e also purely statistical.

The "New York Times' Selective Guide" is one of the better ones because it is based on the opinions of students already attending the college, Renner said.

'Use the guides to get a flavor; do not use that as judgment.'

'They are a Hope, in the past, has been necessary tool to sell r a t e d highly. It w a s included in a group of the best regional colmagazines. America Iges. In m o r e recent ye a r s, Hope has been working its way up to loves rankings.'

Renner said, "U.S. News and World' Report's list leaves a little to be desired." This list a s k s colleges to r a n k its competitors.

This provides too much room for biases. Other lists r a n k colleges through student surveys they conduct. This is a better less, controversial alternative.

Most people a r e afraid of change because it brings about problems, Taylor said. Unfortunately he said, "The world is full of problems and we have to learn how to deal with i t . " After each panel m e m b e r spoke, there was a question and answer period in which many questions and viewpoints were presented.

c

tion process is drained into Lake Maeatawa via the Black River Holland wastewater treatment plant passes 7 million gallons daily. The sludge is then dried and sent out to landfills, burned or used as fertilizer.

The water that flows into the lake is still not pure. It contains many organic and inorganic compounds. The Environmental Protection Agency allows certain amounts of toxic materials to enter the water. The E.P.A. has a set of r e s t r i c t i o n s for t h e amounts of each of these toxics that a r e allowed to be discharged Levels of approximately five parts per million a r e believed to be safe However, they deem samples as safe even when studies on the affects of these toxics on humans have never been done. Furthermore, many a r e a s around the state a r e warned not to consume lake fish because of high levels of toxic material.

Dr Winnet-Murray, assistant professor of biology at Hope College said. "What the wastewater treatment plants do is fine. They get rid of a lot of waste that we would have to dump. The reason the the (Lake Maeatawa) appears to be dirty is simply from the river and the surrounding industries."

She went on to explain that the Black River s flow is slow. It contains a large amount of natural filth, silth and sand. This filth travels from the swampy parts of the r i v e r , a r o u n d Windmill Island and into Lake Maeatawa.

Winnet-Murray expressed concern about the toxic chemicals that were being discharged from the surrounding industries. " I ' m not too worried about the i n d u s t r i e s right here, but Chicago and further up north a r e a r e a s of m a j o r c o n c e r n , " Winnet-Murray said.

These industries apply to the Michigan Water Resources Commission for an authorization to discharge into a water system.

Theymust be renewed every four years.

Sharon Grobbel, an aquatic biologist from the Department of Natural Resources, who was on campus last Friday giving a seminar on the "Challenges of an Aquatic Biologist" explained that the dumping of the wastes f r o m the s e w a g e t r e a t m e n t plants was being monitored by the E.P.A. and the D.N.R. If the discharge waters contain high levels of toxic wastes, the entire plant would be shut down until the m a t t e r was corrected. " ( T h e E.P.A. inspection) does not allow many citizens to rest easy," explained Winnet Murray.

Winnet-Murray said the Grand Rapids Press recently reported that a national test on smog in big cities, Grand Rapids being

one of these, being studied by the E.P.A. was grossly underestimated.

Winnet-Murray talked about how a toxic material would affect the human population. The toxic metals, for instance, a r e not consumed directly by fish. The metals are consumed by the small organisms on the food chain. In turn the fish feed and

When asked about this problem. Winnet-Murray said, "I don't think that the amount that is being discharge should be overlooked, but certainly the body of water is great enough to dilute it. Yes, it eventually will become a problem. We all have to do our part. If I live on a street and my neighbors do not recycle their plastics and paper, does

Trash and filth litter the shoreline of Lake Maeatawa at Van Bragdt. pnoty by caiy contain the toxic metals. Eventually, the toxic metals pass into the human diet.

Both Winnet-Murray and Grobbel said the problem of Lake Maeatawa and Lake Michigan is not severe, but agreed that it is a never ending environmental problem.

C o n t r a r y to r u m o r , t h e discharging of septic tanks on pleasure boats has little effect on the pollution content of the lake in comparison to the above problems.

Stephen J . Reck of the Area S a n i t a r i a n D i v i s i o n of Environmental Health conducted a study of Michigan Marinas. He found that though many boats do discharge their septic tanks into the harbors, the volume of water dilutes the sludge.

that mean that I should not?

Everyone has to m a k e a choice."

There a r e currently heavy fines for those boats that a r e found discharging their waste into the lake.

After the Exxon Valdez struck a reef in late March and spilled 11 million gaUons of oil, the world awoke and realized the h a r m that had been done to the environment for so m a n y years.

According to Bruce Kershner, Great Lakes United field Coordinator, Michigan's Great Lakes with its 11,000 miles of shoreline has 18 percent of the world's available fresh s u r f a c e water.

Unlike the m a r i n e waters, the Great Lakes a r e the region's primary source for drinking water for nearly 24 million p e a pie.

More News Students organize for abortion choice rights

by Greta J Kennedy staff writer With the t h e m e of "Diversity in the Midst of Unity," the Hope Students for Chuice is a growing new organization; a student run. operated and organized g r o u p of people holding a similar view on a specific issue The idea of c r e a t i n g a c a m p u s pro-choice organization c a m e to Jonathon Quirk, the group s cur rent organizer, about a y e a r ago, when he was participating in prochoice rallies in Lansing. Furthermore, he had the idea of creating a c a m p u s organization that is incredibly different from any existing organization "I knew that t h e r e were m a n y pro-choice people on c a m p u s They w e r e s c a t t e r e d though, and therefore could not provide a unified front for their beliefs. 1 felt that if they were brought together, they could c r e a t e an equally strong opposition to the pro-life a d v o c a t e s . " said Quirk.

This group is naturally opposing the forces that a r e existing on the c a m p u s right now. They a r e radical and challenging. Yet they do seek to bring g r e a t e r p e a c e to the c a m p u s by bringing a harmony to the issue where both sides can be expressed with equal strength. The group has four main goals that they hope to fulfill: unity, education, organization a n d action.

The group itself fulfills the first goal This goal is reached by the simple fact that people with these beliefs can get together and provide g r e a t e r m o r a l e .

The goal of education not only refers to the education of the campus, but of themselves as a group.

"By education of the c a m p u s , we hope to use the media at hand, in the community, to p r o m o t e our opinions But, they will be

produced within a tolerant form We hope to educate ourselves by concentrating on a p a r t i c u l a r facet of the abortion issue at each of our m e e t i n g s , " emphasized Quirk Within the goal of organization, the group hopes to c r e a t e an officer corps of people dedicated to running the organization and fulfilling their goals Hope Students for Choice also hopes to c r e a t e a system of designated meetings to provide a f o r m a l s t r u c t u r e to the organization. " T h e action goal is p e r h a p s our most i m p o r t a n t g o a l , " s a i d Quirk "It is within this goal that we achieve our most profound results "

â&#x20AC;˘

These actions will occur on local, s t a t e and national levels.

Types of actions will be determined by specific situations. National a n d state action will be coordinated through various existing o r g a n i z a t i o n s , for instance, the National Organization of Women Thereby, they hope to work with such groups a n d u s e t h e i r m e m b e r s to strengthen m a r c h i n g in Lansing and Washington.

Local action will be determined according to the situation at hand An action c o m m i t t e e will be c r e a t e d to d e t e r m i n e what the group desires to do at the local level " H o p e Students for Choice w e l c o m e s all. r e g a r d l e s s of political, racial, religious ethinic and sexual affiliation." concludes Quirk The first meeting of Hope Students for Choice was held on Monday.

Women's Issues Organization promotes equality

by Kris Olenik staff writer The W o m e n ' s I s s u e s Organization (W.I.O.) a t Hope is a group of both men and women who seek to increase campus awareness of women's issues by a c k n o w l e d g i n g the accomplishments and contributions of women within the community and worldwide.

Most topics that a r e covered in Woman's Issues a r e things that question possible social, political and economical b a r r i e r s which prohibit the self-actualization of women.

Fonda Green, advisor for the organization, feels that ''the strength of the group lies in the f a n that we have a variety of

Many students succumb to flu season

by Rochelle Anderson sports editor The hacking, coughing, achy, fever, headache season is here once again. It always seems that whenever the t e m p e r a t u r e warms up for awhile and then gets very cold, students start getting sick.

A good indication that flu season has hit, other than if your roommate's got the bug, is a general decrease in attendance of classes. If the people who a r e sick actually m a k e it to class, they sniffle, sneeze and cough through the lecture.

Over 150 students visited the Health Clinic last week. The major symptoms include fever or chills lasting two to four days, vomiting a n d / o r diarrhea lasting one two days, congestion, sore throat and coughing. The cause of these symptoms ia a virus, and viruses do not respond to antibiotics.

Some complications a r e ear infection, sinus infection and bronchitis.

The treatment for influenza is easy enough. Be sure to get lots of rest and drink plenty of fluids.

Try taking two Tylenol tablets every four hours if a fever is present. If the symptom is vomiting, suck on ice chips a n d / o r drink clear liquids (7-UP, water, etc.). if the fever continues for more than four days, please go to the Health Clinic.

Remember that influenza is transmitted by close contact such a s kissing, sharing drinks, food, etc. Good health habits can help one avoid the flu. Get lots o'> sleep, eat a good diet and exercise.

topics which we cover because ther a r e so many women's issues out there."

In the past W.I.O. has cosponsored speakers with the history department and OPUS. So far this year they have covered topics such a s m a r r i a g e and career, abortion and alcohol.

This semester they plan to sponsor more monthly events which they hope will further the students' awareness of women's issues. Some of the women faculty a r e speaking on "What I Wish I Had Known as a Woman in College." They will be having a joint program with the Hollan Chapter of the American Association of University Women (A.A.U.W.), and they also plan to have state N O W. p r e s i d e n t , M a d e l i n e Hansen, come to speak. Every year the W.I.O. also co-sponsors Women's Week.

In addition, the W.I.O. is consistently involved in bringing awareness of women's issues to Hope's campus in other ways a s well. Annually the group has a woman entertainer perform on campus, sponsors the gender issues paper contest and sends out a Women's Issues Newsletter ^W.I.N.) monthly to over 300 students and faculty.

Coming up the W.I.O will have a women's leadership retreat

and its annual spring brunch where the gender issues papers a r e read. Also this spring, the group has verbal permission to c a r r y out a plan to raise money on c a m p u s for the Center for Women in Transition, which is a chelter for abused women. They hope to raise enough money to help alleviate the cost of running the shelter, according to Green.

The W.I.O. has several things planned for the future. Next year they hope to sponsor a "Take Back the Night M a r c h " to protest the sexual asault of women.

This topic is an important one in Women's Issues and they try to deal with it consistently in order to m a k e the students more a w a r e of the problem and what can be done. Also for the future, they have been working on something to bring more visibility and unity to the organization.

"We've been working on getting some type of housing or residence set aside for those who a r e involved with W o m e n ' s Issues," Green said. This would m a k e it easier for students to work together doing special prog r a m m i n g for Women's Issues.

People would also be more a w a r e of the group and who is involved or who to talk to if they're interested.

Green says that the group has

been growing over the y e a r s with students m a k i n g up approximately two-thirds of the mailing list and attendance up to thirty to forty people a t regular events.

Green explained that most students don't gain real awareness of women's issues until they come to college. Some

are exposed to more topics in their classes or maybe they read about or attend a W.I.O. event.

Most of the officers in the organization a r e upperclasspersons because they have greater knowledge and experience with the issues and the desire to be constructively involved.

Scholars explore history in Joint Archives of Holland ( H O P E ) - The Joint Archives of Holland has had over 500 patron visits in its first y e a r of operation, according to archivist Larry Wagenaar.

The Archives, which is the union of the historical d o c u m e n t s and r e c o r d s of the Holland Historical Trust (Netherlands M u s e u m ) . Hope college a n d Western Theological S e m i n a r y , opened to the public in October of 1988 Dedication of the facility took place November of that y e a r . S i n c e t h a t t i m e 547 research visits h a v e been recorded. This does not include the many area residents and visitors who have come to enjoy the Archive's displays.

The Joint Archives is one of the busiest archival research facilities in Michigan, according to W a g e n a a r "The n a t u r e of those who use the Archives has varied w i d e l y . " he said. "Several scholars from the Netherlands have c o m e to use the m a t e r i a l s that tell the story of the Dutch coming to America and their c o m m u n i t i e s developed in western Michigan Students f r o m Hope College and the a r e a high schools h a v e researched topics ranging from the life of Gerrit Diekema, a well known Ottawa County politician, to how buildings developed on 8th street in Holland. Others who have come include genealogist looking into t h e h e y d a y of Maeatawa and the I n t e r u r b a n railway."

The fact that Holland and western Michigan now h a s a s t a t e of the art archival facility with sufficient s p a c e for visitors to work, a m p l e storage space, professional c a r e , full c l i m a t e control and fire protection h a s in-

In July, the "Guide to the Collections" was published which describes all the m a t e r i a l stored at the Archives. It has g a r n e r e d national attention and is giving the Joint Archives the ability to r e a c h out to researc h e r s nationwide through it and its companion on-line c o m p u t e r catalog.

On March 30 the Joint Archives of Holland will host Dr Kot>ert Warner, f o r m e r Archivist of the United Slates, who will speak on the critical work of archive- in the c o m m u n i t y . His p r e s e n t a n o p will be followed by a reception in the Archive's reading roon I he outstanding success of the Joint Archives of Holland in its first year underscores the need to p r e s e r v e the area s heritage by saving those letters p a p e r s , d o c u m e n t s and photographs that tell the story of its history.' added W a g e n a a r " T h e Archives is a place where the public can find the a n s w e r s to their questions regarding the area s past " Those who feel they might have something of historical significance a r e encouraged to contact W a g e n a a r at 394-7798.

Hope Republicans show signs

by Greta.). Kennedy staff writer Hope College's own microcosm of the Grand Old P a r t y is showing signs of the changing national agenda.

Starting with the support of a millage increasing bond issue last spring, the Hope College R e p u b l i c a n s feel they h a v e achieved success - both with a charity project at Christmas and a l s o h a v i n g d e c l a r e d April 44 World Development Month."

Meanwhile, they a r e enlisting deputy r e g i s t r a r s in keeping their aim 44to actuate citizenship."

Present co-chairman Shawn Neville, and newly appointed chair Martha Brandt, a r e trying to adapt to student interest and concern. Brandt has arranged for "opinion t a b l e s " that ask students what they would like to participate in and whom they would like to see on campus.

At the s a m e time, petition signatures were collected for the Republican candidate for governor, John Engler.

P a r t of the perceived changes within the group may be the result of changed leadership for the semester. Brandt began to demonstrate the direction she might aim the organization last

year when she coordinated the millage effort that had them and Neville, marching around campus with a 14Yes to Education" sign. They feel this effort alone doubled student turnout at the polls for that election, and w a s a c o n t r i b u t i n g f a c t o r to t h e passage of the millage.

When Neville took a leave of absence from the organization last semester, Christine Brink and Laura Whitwas served a s cochair. During this time, they planned and carried out a successful charity project.

Together, Brandt and Neville a r e taking the old agenda, and making it over. The agenda, said

of changing agenda Neville, is the s a m e -- to actuate citizenship.

"Our job is to look for that mix of information and events that will impel students to a c t . . . " Furthermore, Neville says that a lot of that objective is accomplished within the school's liberal arts education. "Often, our most art i c u l a t e s p o k e s m e n a r e the writers and thinkers that students a t Hope study now."

"This m a k e s our job simply to p r o v i d e a n o p p o r t u n i t y for students to act." Neville concedes t h a t o t h e r u n i v e r s i t y Republicans face fiercer ideological opposition within their institutions: 44But indif-

ference," he adds, "is much tougher to supplant at the roots t h a n is M a r x i s m , nihilism, pacifism or liberalism."

Students can look forward to more events this semester, including speakers, a month long focus on world development, and, says Brandt, 4 1 A much more interesting group."

While this may not be a completely new agenda, there a r e more ideas being put into effect.

There are positions within the organization a v a i l a b l e and students interested in these or in just being a part of the group can contact Martha Brandt at x6349 or Shawn Neville at 394-9721.

Graduates face extremely competitive job market

by Amy Hudson (CPS) - Spring graduates will face a tight, competitive job market, most observers agree.

4 'Things have been slower this y e a r , " observed Peg Hallam. career placement director at J a c k s o n v i l l e U n i v e r s i t y in Florida. 44We have noticed a decided decline in hiring in the (October-through-December) quarter."

So have students. " I t ' s kind of disappointing," said Mike Farrand, a St. Cloud, (Minn.) State U n i v e r s i t y s e n i o r who will g r a d u a t e in M a r c h w i t h a marketing degree. " T h e r e ' s not a whole lot out t h e r e . " In contrast to the 1988-89 job hunting season, when students at some schools reported fielding multiple offers, two m a j o r annual surveys of grads' job prospects this year present much more sober pictures.

Michigan State University, which asked 479 key corporations and employers about their nationwide college g r a d hiring plans, found the c o m p a n i e s foresee m a k i n g 13.3 percent fewer job offers to students this year.

New grads get more money (CPSj - Computer science grads can expect tough competition for jobs this year, but those who land positions will get a starting salary 4-to-5 percent higher than last year's tech m a j o r grads.

New grads can expect to start at about $30,000 a year, up from last y e a r ' s a v e r a g e of $28,600, said Gerald Reynolds, president of National Computer Associates (NCA), a national network of computer recruitment and placement firms.

4 'There a r e more openings than there have been in the .

but it's sLli a competitive field,' Reynolds said. "Graduates in the top third of their class will be high d e m a n d . " Although breaking into the field might be tough, there is plenty of opportunity for growth.

"We need people not only to fill the ranks now, but also to take the field to its next plateau," Reynolds said.

4 'The overall national computer employment outlook in '90 is for stable, steady, moderately strong hiring across the board," V added

and $37,111 for doctoral degree graduates.

The relatively small salary rises and limp job opportunities seem to stem from an ttitude c h a n g e f r o m 88-89 w h e n employers, worried there wouldn't be enough grads to hire in the future, scrambled to get the best prospects.

This y e a r , many of the biggest firms a r e cutting back.

For example IBM, always one of the most active recruiters of new grads, on Dec. 5 announced it w o u l d r e d u c e i t s U . S . workforce by 10,000 employees and "severly limit" hiring in 1990, said spokeswoman Collett Abissi. "We will maintain a presence on campus, but we really are limiting hiring."

"If a decline in business becomes pronounced and widespread, there will be an immediate and sudden drop in job opportunities for college g r a d u a t e s , " Lindquist warned.

Recruiters visiting campuses, moreover, a r e being m o r e selective than in the past. 4 4 We've had a lot of contacts by employera, but hiring is a different s t o r y / ' reported Jacksonville's Hallam.

"You h a v e to have the right degree and the right experience or they won't hire you," said Cindy Goebel, a fall g r a d u a t e of St. Cloud State who m a j o r e d in ap-

plied sociology. 4 'There's just so much competition out there.

They can pick anyone they want."

44 There's a tremendous amount of competition," concurred Jacksonville senior David Flesher, noting that a recruiter often interviews 10 candidates in 30 minutes.

At Purdue University in Indiana, where about 27,000 oncampus interviews were conducted last year, the number of bookings a r e running at about the s a m e pace a s last year, said career services director Richard Stewart.

Stewart, though, is guarded about predicting a banner year. " I ' m a little cautious that the market might be softening."

"I don't see some of the big players like IBM being as aggressive, but it's hard to tell what effect that has," he said.

At San Diego State University, recruitment has been just so-so, reported Judith Gumbiner, director of career services. "The fall wasn't as active a s others have been, but the spring should be more active."

Jacksonville's Flesher, who's been on the job trail since October, tried to remain confident. " I ' m not worried about finding a job per se, but I ' m worried about finding a job I w a n t . "

Water protection is everyone's responsibility

WTH

W P kVbo l £ u G -rcMTcK'Hs. Lake pollution has touched more than the Holland community as a growing problem While it is true that it is the most obvious to Hope students in the form of Lake Maeatawa, it is a problem that everyone will have to deal with.

Drastic measures need to be taken soon to help solve this problem. Too often, people look at a possible source of pollution and feel that it should be their responsiblilty alone to solve the problem This attitude will not work Everyone needs to do their part to help save our water sources People have traditionally felt that the Great Lakes were so large that they could do whatever they wanted to them and it wouldn't matter. However, recent news is proving this idea wrong There are warnings against eating Great Lakes fish, and the city of Grand Rapids is faced with the problem of an outdated sewer system which sends raw sewage down the Grand River after some heavy rains.

It's past time that these lakes no longer have to be filled with pollution. It's time to invest the time and money in alternatives like new treatment equipment and sew age piping The wastewater treatment plants may be doing their jobs adequately. more could be done Why allow toxins to be discharged into the water when their affects on humans and the various types of marine life a r e still unknown** Granted the E.P.A. only allows these chemicals to be discard ed in trace amounts that they deem to be safe But who know* * nat safe amounts are when the affects aren't even known People should at least know what they are dumping into the la^es. and rivers As it is now . people are playing Russian roulette u th everyone's water resources.

The Great Lakes a r e this region s greatest natural resource They are important to fishermen, boaters, and they provide tounst revenue to the region And while this may not be important to everyone, the probability that the lakes are responsible for at least part of your dnnking water should be As the world population continues to grow, its fresh water reserves will become more and more important as a source of drinking water Since Michigan's Great Lakes provide 18 percent of the world's fresh water, it's too important a resource to pollute And the responsibility to protect it is everyone's.

BACCHUS encourages common sense Continued from cage 8 -cid lor dinner 1 heard someone say.

Hey! It's Alcohol Awareness Week, I better r o home " I don't know if t h e comment was m a d e directly to m e because of the shirt or just in general. Either way, I w a s upset by the comment b e c a u s e it appeared to me that the s p e a k e r didn t understand the m e a n i n g of Alcohol Awareness Week or of BACCHUS.

The goal of BACCHUS is to promote responsible decision making about drinking. We don't promote a message that says "Don't drink at all," but we do promote mpssace that says. " P l e a s e be responsible." For the health of the students of Hope College, we want to encourage students to just use common sense when they drink and know when you've had enough and respect those who choose not to drink.

Next week BACCHUS is having

a Membership drive. I strongly encourage anyone who is interested in finding out m o r e about BACCHUS to attend our meeting on Tuesday, J a n u a r y 30 at 9 p.m. in the Maas Conference R o o m .

T-shirt painting needs more planning Dear Editor, T-shirt painting w a s an awesome idea for siblings weekend!

Since both of my sisters a r e young (seven and ten years old), I w a s glad to find s o m e t h i n g on t h e w e e k e n d schedule that I knew they would enjoy We a r r i v e d at 1:05 to find the Kletz packed. T h e t-shirts and paint w e r e gone.

I was disappointed a s I looked around and saw a head resident and her son painting t-shirts. A few Hope students were gathered in a corner painting Greek letters across the front of the t-shirts they w e r e lucky enough to g r a b before SAC ran out.

Well, a f t e r a bit of a wait (if you call a half hour, a bit) m o r e t-shirts arrived. Those in c h a r g e of handing out the shirts told everyone they could h a v e one tshirt per sibling, and d u e to the small supply Hope students w e r e no longer allowed a t-shirt of their own. So I g r a b b e d two shirts and went to the table where my s i s t e r s h a d been waiting. This w a s n ' t so bad a f t e r all! Maybe even worth the wait, I thought. Until... I tried to find some paint. After a lot of searching I found four different colored tubes. All of t h e m w e r e empty!

But, SAC c a m e through!

Realizing t h a t our siblings weren't looking f o r w a r d to taking home white H a n e ^ v-necked

t-shirts, they offered the frustrated crowd, blue Hope tshirts. My sisters now own 1989 Hope College Homecoming tshirts as a reminder of their 1990 Sibling's Weekend at Hope.

I do think the t-shirt painting was a great idea! With a bit of planning it could have been a huge success. If students were interested in painting t-shirts, they could have picked up tickets for them and their siblings from SAC. That way, SAC would have known how many people to ex-

pect. Even if there would have been a small c h a r g e for this event or if it would have required each person bring their own tshirt-1 would have gone!

I appreciate the difficulty in planning student activities, but I feel that with the right planning this could have been a very special event. I hope that my ideas were of help and that a bit more thought goes into planning next year's activities.

Leroy Johnson had been in the hospital for a few weeks when I got wheeled in with e x t r e m e d e h y d r a t i o n c a u s e d by a n unknown intestinal p r o b l e m .

Leroy was laying on his side with tubes running into him because of his own intestinal difficulties.

Birds of a feather, I guess.

We didn't talk much that first day. He had some friends behind his c u r t a i n a n d I w a s too distracted with m y new found IV friend and the initial flurry of needles and s a m p l e s that were graciously sucked from my already depleted body.

At seven though, my mom and his guests had to leave. So we lay therewatching the end of s o m e pro tootball playoff g a m e . Leroy had a nurse pull his curtain back so he could get a look at his new roomate. He introduced himself and I moaned s o m e reply.

We made small talk for awhile, comparing maladies and discussing how we ended up here on New Year's Eve.

I didn't like him at first. I didn't like anyone in there. Leroy w a s a grizzled old B a p t i s t deacon. I couldn't stop myself f r o m complaining. Leroy seemed to understand and tried to cheer m e up warning m e to "Watch out for the late shift. They're always waking a body u p to suck your blood.*' He didn't try to cheer m e up too hard though, and that was

good ..somehow right.

The nurses had a loud New Year's E v e party down the hall. I could have handled that noise, except there was a nursing home patient who had been moved onto the hall for treatment. Like clockwork every night from 8:30 to 11:30 this elderly man would holler for the " N U U U U R R RSSSE!" or just s c r e a m . The nurse said they weren't allowed to sedate him Leroy told them to sedate us instead. Leroy's shot put him to sleep. My two tranquilizers didn't seem to work.

Eventually, I fell asleep only to be awakened at 12:08 a.m. by another gentleman yelling that he fell asleep and missed the dropping of the ball in Times Square. I layed a w a k e until a f t e r two a.m. (I had kept my watch on at Leroy's suggestion so that it wouldn't be stolen during the night).

It was a bad night.

New Year's Day began bright and early at six with a needle for a blood sample and no mention of the New Year.

During those four days I spent in Surburban Hospital, my doctor kept telling m e that he didn't know what was wrong, but a few more tests...

Leroy could tell I was afraid.

He was a f r a i d too. I think he was terminal; and yet he held me up saying, " W e ' r e going to beat this place yet. " I told him we'd give it our best shot. We weren't just talking about the hospital.

Deacon Leroy Johnson held me up. I needed someone to teach me I needed him desperately And he stood up When 1 left that hospital, I couldn't thank Leroy. I certainly like him now, but I couldn't even get an address to keep in touch. I was still a f r a i d : afraid for him, afraid for me and afraid that when the time comes I wouldn't be able to stand too.

Where a r e the heroes now?

They're quietly standing. Maybe with tubes sticking out of them and m a y b e in complete health.

But they a r e there supporting us until we must hold up someone else.

Happy New Year's, Leroy.

take notes on who was doing what, and that pretty much separated me from the game. I was never able to just go to a game and just relax and watch it.

The biggest factor in my decision was that I wasn't enjoying Hope sports anymore. I couldn't get excited about a football or basketball game anymore because going to these games had become a job instead of an activity. 1 could never enjoy these games because I had to

The question that I've been asked the most in the past week or so is "why aren't you writing sports anymore?" The main reason is that 1 was given the opportunity to move up on the staff, but there are several events that took place last semester which made the decision easier.

Another problem was the lack of willing sports writers. For most of my time as sports editor, I was the only one willing to write sports. My goal was to try and get coverage for every team at some point during the year, and 1 feel I did that. The problem came when people started to wonder why we weren't running more coverage. I really would have liked to have run more, but I wasn't going to allow sports coverage to take over my life.

I have no intention of becoming a sports writer, and I was determined to keep some semblance of a life. I tried to find a balance between the anchor, my studies and my social life. TTie balance I found may not have seemed ade-

however. You get to meet a lot of great people, and it sure beats » covering a lecture, but after a year and a half I guess 1 was just ready for a change. I want to be able to write record and movie reviews without having to explain why sports didn't get more coverage; or why the football team's away game only got brief coverage.

I am very impressed with the early work by our new sports editor Rochelle Anderson, and 1 believe she will end up being better than I could have ever been Because of this, I see it as a good move for everyone. The sports coverage will continue to improve, and I'll be free to write on a variety of different subjects (which will likely even include more sports) which is what I prefer. Hopefully this will help improve the overall quality and variety of coverage in future anchors.

quate to some people, and I can see their point. But I also know that there wasn't anybody banging down the door of the anchor office to help with the sports writing.

Maybe this is due to the general apathy of the Hope campus, or maybe it's due to some other reason unknown to me.

Either way, I feel I performed my job to the best of my abilities, and that's really all that matters tome.

I still enjoy sports, and will continue to attend as many Hope events as I can. My main problem with writing sports was that you had to be objective. That just isn't me. If an official blows a call, or calls a game unfairly for one team, I wanted to be able to say so. But game stories have to be objective, so I couldn't let my Hope College biases show.

1 don't want to scare anyone away from writing sports.

Sports Hope men's basketball earns close victory over Alma Scots

by K.)chelle Anderson sports editor

Senior, co-captain, Justin George, checks behind him as he brings the ball down the court.

The Flying Dutchmen met with the Alma Scots at the Holland Civic Center last Saturday and c a m e out victorious by the score of 92-84 The g a m e started out slow with the first points going to Hope- two minutes and 34 seconds into the game. Hope was the first to take charge gaining six of the first eight points, but Alma was not giving up that easy. Alma c a m e back in leaps and bounds by shooting four .hree-pointers in four trips down the floor.

With the Flying Dutchmen down 18-22, Hope c a m e up with their own magic, hitting 15 of the next 24 points, including three three-pointers The scoring then went back and forth until Alma called the first time-out with 2:15 remaining in the half and the score in Hope's favor 42-34.

Before, the teams headed for the locker room, each team scored five points. The momentum, though, was in Hope's favoi making the last two shots of the half The crowd roared as Wade Gugino slam dunked a shot and

Elliott provides team leadership on the court As a leader and co-captain of the m e n ' s basketball t e a m , E r i c Elliott has been n o m i n a t e d Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association player of tne week for the second time this season.

The players a r e nominated by the coaches and selected by MIAA commissioner Al Deal.

Elliott, a junior f r o m Hudsonville, leads the MIAA players in scoring this season a v e r a g i n g 21 points a game. He shoots 54 percent from the field and is c u r rently ranked seventh in overall field goal shooting and fifth in f r e e throw shooting.

When asked what his most exciting moment in basketball was, Elliott commented that there wasn't just one big g a m e . "One of the most m e m o r a b l e , " he said, " w a s playing in t h e MIAA regional finals my f r e s h m a n y e a r . " Elliott also c o m m e n t e d that Calvin g a m e s a r e always big games.

Elliott h a s been p l a y i n g

basketball since he could first understand

the

game.

"My

father is a high school coach.'' remembered Elliott, "and 1 was always at practices ever since I could walk. " The t e a m ' s strong point, accord i n g to E l l i o t t , is t h e togetherness. " E v e r y o n e gets along," commented Elliott, " a n d e v e r y o n e c o n t r i b u t e s to the team."

As for working to their full potential, Elliott stated that they a r e all working very hard and putting forth full effort. Elliott felt they could improve their half court offense and defense as wel) as run their press better.

Head Coach Van Wieren com mented that Elliott has improved defensively as well a s improving his shooting range.

Eric Elliott selected MIAA player of the week for the second time.

As for his own thoughts on improvement, Elliott stated, "I look to improve from y e a r to year. As soon a s one stops improving, the g a m e isn't as f u n . "

figures, Hope's field goal percentage was 59 percent. Eric Elliott was the high scorer with 30 points, including four threepointers. Bruce VanderKolk contributed a career high 19 points and Dan Klunder scored 16 points, making two out of three three-pointers. Wade Gugino had 10 points for the g a m e as well as blocking five shots.

Sophomore Colly Carlson led the team in rebounding and a s s i s t s with seven in each category.

One of the keys to the g a m e was f r e e throws Hope shot 5-8 in the first half while Alma shot 4-4, but the difference was in the second half. Alma m a d e 5-6 free throws while the Dutchmen shot 100 percent, 18-18 in the second half. Although Alma had a slightly better percentage (90 percent overall to Hope's 88 percent), the difference was made in the number of trips to the line Alma is Hope's oldest collegiate basketball rival. The Dutchmen own an 83-41 advantage in victories. With the victory over Alma, Hope is now 15-1 and a r e sixteenth in the national rankings

Hope scored two free throws and with 0:45 remaining a j u m p ball was called - possesion going to Hope The rest of Hope's points were made at the f r e e throw line With 28 seconds remaining.

Elliott scored 30 points in the g a m e against the Alma Scots last Saturday. He has now scored 935 points in his college c a r e e r .

Elliott is fast approaching the s e v e n t e e n t h a l l - t i m e leading scorer, Marty Snoap, who had 1,003 point while attending Hope from 1968-1972.

To best sum up the success Elliott h a s as a b a s k e t b a l l p l a y e r , coach Van Wieren r e m a r k e d . "Elliott is a good player because he wants to m a k e others look good and has good players to do this."

Spirit of reform dominates NCAA convention iCFb) - The college sports reform movement dominated the National Collegiate A t h l e t i c Association (NCAA) convention in Dallas J a n . 8-10, producing several rules changes that added steroids to the list of banned drugs for athletes and added rules to make sure athletes do well academically.

NCAA E x e c u t i v e D i r e c t o r R i c h a r d Schultz c a l l e d t h e meeting 4 'the convention of the student-athlete."

It was the first one since the early 1970s in which so many decisions were made involving an athlete's college life a s a stu-

dent.

Delegates a g r e e d to install year-round steroid testing for Division I football p l a y e r s , publish schools' g r a d u a t i o n rates, shorten spring football practice, and cut the basketball season from 28 to 25 games.

They also approved a watereddown version of the highly contoversial Proposition 42, ins i s t e d last year, which would have banned all scholarships and other aid for freshperson athletes who didn't meet certain g r a d e or s t a n d a r d i z e d t e s t s c o r e requirements.

The modification of Proposi-

tion 42 was seen ab a victory for coaches who felt it discriminated against underprivileged firstyear athletes who may have come from academically laggard high schools, and who other wise could not afford to go to college.

On the drug testing, all 194 1-A and I-AA football t e a m s will test their athletes at least once a year, and one-fourth of those teams will test them at least twice. Each time 36 athletes will be tested. The NCAA will have to shell out an extra $1.6 million for the effort. Currently, the NCAA t e s t s only a t c h a m p i o n s h i p

events.

The d r u g testing m e a s u r e passed easily 659-25, and few seemed concerned about the legality of the testing. A Colorado judge rejected in August the University of Colorado's athletic drug testing program, saying it invaded the athlete's privacy.

The ruling doesn't affect other organizations, and CU officials a r e appealing the ruling.

The NCAA itself is four of five in legal challenges to its testing program, with its only loss coming in 1988 when a Santa Clara County Superior Court judge allowed S t a n f o r d U n i v e r s i t y

athletes to con*i* '• without taking drug tests The r e f o r m s c o m e after increasingly harsh criticisms of big-time college sports, and scandals of fans paying players low g r a d u a t i o n r a t e s and charges of g r a d e fixing.

In the last decade, more than half of the biggest sports prog r a m s in the NCAA were punished at least once. " T h e r e is now within the m e m b e r s h i p a very strong and urgent feeling that we need some c h a n g e , " Schultz said. "This was a good first step. "

Women's sports angry at NCAA (CPS) - The National Coll e g i a t e Athletic A s s o c i a t i o n (NCAA) awarded its highest honor to f o r m e r P r e s i d e n t Ronald Reagan Jan. 8 during its annual convention in Dallas, s p a r k i n g a low-key p r o t e s t among some college officials who s a y he h u r t w o m e n ' s athletics during his t i m e in office.

As far as opportunities for women, as far as minority opportunites during R e a g a n ' s administration, they weren't very good," said Donna Lopiano, women's athletic director of the University of Texas. 44In fact, they were a w f u l . "

"People are upset that the NCAA selection committee chose someone who supported opportunities for just half the population," Lopiano said.

Reagan campaigned against a law called Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which

TRFEN* M#S i

threatened to cut off federal f u n d s to s c h o o l s t h a t discriminated against women.

He argued the law was an unwarr a n t e d f e d e r a l i n t r u s i o n in private affairs.

While in o f f i c e , R e a g a n ' s Justice Department wrote "friend of the c o u r t " briefs supporting Grove City College's legal challenge to the law, arguing the fund cutoff threat applied only to the specific p r o g r a m s that directly got federal money and, consequently, not athletic programs.

The U.S. Supreme Court subsequently ruled Grove City was correct. In 1988, when Congress approved a Civil Rights Restoration Act to replace Title IX, Reagan vetoed it. Congress later overturned the veto.

Thr former president's actions did not endear him to women's sports groups, which had used Title IX to pressure coUeges to go

to the expense of establishing women's sports facilities and teams.

Richard Nixon, Lopiano said, would have been a better choice for the NCAA's a w a r d . 44He was president when Title IX was promulgated."

The NCAA received five letters concerning the R e a g a n award, four of them negative, NCAA spokesman J i m Marchiony said.

F o r m e r professional golfer Carol Mann resigned her seat on the awards committee to protest the honor " I t ' s a minor f l a k , " Marchiony said. " I wouldn't call it a national groundswell."
