D o c t o r cures dating doldrums JENN DORM cam pus beat editor

Students hoping to pick u p s o m e new, innovative dating ideas packed into the Kletz Friday night.

T h e s e tips c a m e from David C o l e m a n , the D a t i n g Doctor.

Coleman, w h o just signed on as a consultant for Beverly Hills 90210, a l s o t r a v e l s a r o u n d the c o u n t r y holding Creative Dating seminars.

Coleman p e r f o r m e d at Hope last year and w a s so popular that S A C decided to ask him back again this year. " T h e r e w a s a large turn-out last year, " said Kevin Randall, Kletz coordinator for SAC. "This year, w e decided to play it up big, so w e had a lot of publicity. T h e thing is, it's a seminar, but it's a lot of f u n .

It's interesting to see how people react. They realize it's okay to ask people out and they loosen up."

T h e purpose of C o l e m a n ' s works h o p is to provide an energetic, innovative way f o r students to look at dating and to spice u p a relationship that may be caught in a rut.

"This is going to be fast-paced, interactive, and spontaneous," Coleman said. " I ' m g o i n g to try to o f f e r alternate ways to have a creative date. We are a l s o g o i n g to identify dating problems and activate s o m e solutions."

C o l e m a n , w h o also writes colu m n s and has a radio talk s h o w on dating and relationships, started out

the evening by asking the m e m b e r s of the audience to fill out an index card with a description of their fantasy date, as well as the best or worst p i c k - u p line that they had e v e r heard. Reading the entries f r o m the c a r d s helped to break up his act, as well as p r o v i d e s o m e additional humor to the night. Lines such as " D o you b e l i e v e in love at first sight? T h a t ' s okay, I can walk by a g a i n , " had the a u d i e n c e both l a u g h i n g a n d g r o a n i n g at t h e thought that such a line had actually

•^YWV

¥ been used in an attempt to snag a date. Though some of the ideas ventured in to the 4 R' rating range, they kept c r o w d m e m b e r s laughing and their interest level high.

C o l e m a n gave advice on h o w to tackle dating and how to set u p that first date.

"Take a risk. W o m e n , introduce yourself. Men are sick of always having to do the initiating," he said.

Coleman also m a d e sure to get t h e a u d i e n c e i n v o l v e d in t h e evening. He had the students break u p into small groups of people that they had not k n o w n previously and introduce t h e m s e l v e s . They w e r e

then told to talk about themselves non-stop for 3 0 seconds.

"I thought that the whole night was really e n t e r t a i n i n g , " said Gretchen Schoon ('99). "I really did meet new people."

T h i s method of getting people to mingle and meet n e w people did indeed p r o v e s u c c e s s f u l . A s the evening c a m e to a close, the sounds of people exchanging phone numbers and murmuring "It w a s nice to meet you," could be heard.

"It's not the number of dates that you have," Coleman emphasized.

"It's the quality of them and if you have another one."

To spice up the quality of a date, Coleman offered a lengthy list of dating ideas that the a v e r a g e c o u p l e may not have thought of doing. First date ideas ranged from flying a kite in the park to d o i n g s o m e volunteer work.

"By volunteering at a local animal shelter and taking care of the animals, it will take the attention off the date and things will feel more comfortable," Coleman said.

In addition to his list of creative dating ideas, Coleman also had lists of w a y s to impress members of the opposite sex and things to avoid on a first date, such as long movies, sloppy foods, and being late. " T h e list of things that you can to do on a date is really good because you can do those things with f r i e n d s l o o , " S c h o o n said. "It d o e s n ' t necessarily have to be on a date."

HPD gives the scoop on new alcohol law JENN DORN campusbeat editor

Representatives f r o m the Greek organizations on c a m p u s met at a f o r u m Wednesday night to voice their c o n c e r n s about the new alcohol policy.

Officer Bancuk, of the Holland Police Department, did her best to clarify the policy and answer any questions that they had.

"Basically, this is an MIP law.

It s a y s that your body is an open c o n t a i n e r , " B a n c u k said.

T h e policy is quite s i m p l e . It b r e a k s d o w n like this; if a s t u d e n t , w h o is a m i n o~r and w h o has been drinking, is walki n g down the street and is s t o p p e d by a police officer, that officer can ask the student to take a preliminary breath test (PBT) right then and there.

Yes, anyone can be spot-checked for drinking. Essentially, the criteria for stopping a person is, in addition to j u d g i n g f r o m the p e r s o n ' s a p p e a r a n c e , that the o f f i c e r can s m e l l a l c o h o l o n the s t u d e n t ' s breath. " T h e r e are no real set guidelines to w h o a oolice o f f i c c r can ask to

take the test," Bancuk said. "It is at the officer's discretion. If the officer smells alcohol on a student's breath, they can ask that student to take a PBT." If a student takes the P B T and blows a .02 percent, they will get charged with a MIP (minor in possession).

I j u s t w a n t to s t r e s s that the p e n a l t y f o r this new policy is not jail time," Bancuk said.

Concerns w e r e voiced about the possible increase in drunk driving. T h o u g h t s are that a person w h o has been drinking will opt to drive h o m e rather than risk being caught by the police while walking home.

Students are also concerned that possible police harrassment m a y result f r o m this policy. " T h e r e is no r e a s o n f o r harrassment," Bancuk said. "Officers, though they have the right to, a r e n o t g o i n g to s t o p r a n d o m p e o p l e . If you are just w a l k i n g down the street, I am not going to stop you. But remember, that if you are a m i n o r and you have been d r i n k i n g , you arc b r e a k i n g the law."

For the next six w e e k s , Tuesday a f t e r n o o n s at the Holland Bowling Center w o n ' t be the s a m e . At these l a n e s the old c l i c h e " I t ' s not w h e t h e r you win o r lose, but how you play the g a m e , " has been transf o r m e d .

Off-beat publications satisfy starving readers M ainstream: to float d o w n the middle, not m a k i n g any waves.

T h e 'SO's b r o k e the current's pull to the middle by bringing on a tidal wave of what were to b e c o m e k n o w n as underground m a g a z i n e s .

K n o w n a s ' z i n e s within underground circles, these tabs posses certain characteristics that separate them f r o m other g e n r e s of print media.

Unlike typical magazines found in newsstands, ' z i n e s are c o m p l e t e l y u n c e n s o r e d , never fazed by public o p i n ion, print submissions of all kinds, and a r e n ' t afraid to be a little raunchy.

Dripping with s a r c a s m , full of acerbic wit and totally raw, ' z i n e s are the product of a c o m m u n i c a t i o n revolution.

No one k n o w s h o w m a n y are out there f l o a t i n g around, but "zines are sucked up by i n v i s i b l e or p e r h a p s even neglected culture groups.

For each passion there is a 'zine. R a n g i n g f r o m Queer Culture to Punk Girls, they cover a large range of subjects o t h e r w i s e i g n o r e d by t h e mainstream media. Breaking all journalistic rules, def y i n g all p r o d u c t i o n s c h e d ules, and c o m i n g out w h e n time and cash allow, they are the alternative vehicle of expression for those a v o i d i n g the mainstream.

Trying to avoid this und e r t o w of m a i n s t r e a m life, Stevens created a underground 'zine dubbed Moxie.

Geared for culturally malnourished Hope students, Moxie not only focuses on the creative soul, but f e e d s it.

Cosmos back pledging proposal

Leaving a Legacy When rumors fly around campus that the administration is c o n s i d e r i n g b a n n i n g the Pull, y e l p s of a n g u i s h can be heard reverberating throughout the Pine Grove for months.

When the Holland Police put in place a policy to give minors an on-the-spol preliminary breath test, people are flagging the United States Constitution, citing invasion of privacy and harassment.

When the Hope-Calvin basketball game is sold out. fans are on the verge of rioting.

But when a proposal that takes four times as long as it took to change the pledging process revamps policies that effect 80 percent more people and alter the way the liberal arts are taught at Hope College—be it for better or for worse—all but a handful of students say boo.

The Committee to Restructure the Core Curriculum has spent the past year and a half reevaluating Hope's general education requirements. Within the proposal are provisions to increase science and humanities credits for graduation, add a new freshman seminar and even beef up admittance requirements for seniors in high school.

In fact, the Committee did a test run in the Political Science Department this fall, b u m p i n g up the number of credits of so-called heavier classes from three to four so that students can take fewer, more in-depth courses and still graduate on time.

Few batted a lash.

While that's cause for concern, it's not news to members of the Committee. They say student participation has been fairly nonexistent since they began the process in 1994, despite posted meeting t i m e s and e n c o u r a g e m e n t from faculty to incorporate student participation.

T h o u g h the idea of sitting through meetings shuffling papers with a philosophy thesis waiting on the back burner is daunting, the issues being presented garner more of a response than a lackadaisical nod over meatloaf in Phelps. After all. Co-chairperson C h u c k Green says the vote over the c h a n g e s 44 ...is going to be close..."

Though the proposal has been formally submitted to the Academic Affairs Board for approval and the work of the Committee is officially done, there is still time before the vote for students to give feedback on the efforts.

Talk to your professors during noon ball, send ^n e-mail, drop a note to your department head on what you think will work, and what w o n ' t . D o n ' t f o r g e t , f a c u l t y m e m b e r s say, that the remaining meetings are open to all students. The next one. in fact, will be announced soon.

True, the c h a n g e s may not effect the education of current seniors and juniors, but the core revamp will change the long-term plans and curriculum of sophomores and freshmen—not to mention the generations of Hope students to come.

And the way the legacy-thing works here at Hope, that means our kids could be receiving a very different education than

Dear Editor, We are writing to express our feelings about the Ad Hoc Committee recommendations for a restructured pledging program. This letter is on the behalf of the entire Cosmopolitan Fraternity.

First we would like to thank each member of the Ad Hoc for their hard work and determination on this proposal as well as the Campus Life Board for their role in this process.

Manager

It would be untrue to say that we agree with everything that the proposal says. There was a time when all Greeks seemed ready for a campus wide revolt. But attitudes have c h a n g e d and d i f f i c u l t d e c i s i o n s have been made. With that in mind we would like to give our full support to the recommendations made

by Ad Hoc and strongly encourage the Hope College c o m m u n i t y to

support them as well. This proposal is an intelligent and cohesive approach to a new pledging program and we are committed to its success.

It represents a very fair compromise for all parties involved. We are willing to give it a chance and hope that the college is as well.

Sincerely, The Cosmopolitan Fraternity

Dear Editor, This letter is in reply to "Take A Deep Breath" in last week'sAnchor.

Through my years at Hope, I have always suspected that Hope College did not really "uphold state and local laws regarding the posession and consumption of alcoholic beve r a g e s " (see your student handbook) as claimed. The decision of Public Safety to not enforce the new law allowing breath testing of minors confirms my suspicions. Although underage drinking is widely accepted, it is still against the law.

Anyone breaking the law must be willing to accept the consequences if they are caught. 1 believe enforcing this law would be a more effec-

exist. I am c o n f u s e d where this animosity and blatant lack of support comes from but, we as a fellow c a m p u s organization do not appreciate it.

Sincerely, J. Eric Hultgren, General Manager, W T H S

policy prevents

tive way"to create a safe and secure environment which is as free as possible from crime, disorder, injury and loss" as stated in the student handbook as the goal of Public Safety.

Duane Terpstra suggests enforcing the law will prevent students from calling Public Safety w h e n medical attention is needed. I suggest that the enforcement will prevent many alcohol related medical emergencies in the first place, if Hope College were to start an effort to prosecute underage drinking, I believe more students would choose not to drink, leading to less vandalism on campus, less injuries,

harm

and a safer environment for all students on campus, not just the drunk students.

T h e decision to not enforce the n e w law s h o w s Hope College is more concerned with its image (numerous student arrests would not impress prospective prospective students and heir parents) than with the safety of the students on campus and taking a stand against illegal activity. It is sad that a Christian college has so little backbone.

Sincerely, Stephanie Toering ('96)

Mouth-watering descriptions of c h e w y r i c e c a k e s [mochi] a n d breaded, deep-fried dishes of pork tonkaisu. L o n g , d r a w n - o u t PTA meetings and sweaty, swirling crowds of festival participants. All these invite the reader to be on int i m a t e t e r m s with the l i f e a n d t h o u g h t s of a t y p i c a l J a p a n e s e w o m a n . Elisabeth Bumiller, the author of The Secrets of Mariko, f o l l o w s Mariko through her life and household for one year as she initerviews, o b s e r v e s and questions. Mariko, the w i f e of a morose and heavy-drinking man and mother of three children, lives in a tiny house with her family and ailing parents. Bumiller, at the onset of this year, is incredulous concerning Mariko's responsibilities and servitude which is similar to that of a 1950's American housewife.

T h e first few chapters of Secrets are m u d d i e d by B u m i l l e r ' s approach to Mariko's life. She brings her American feminism to a society where feminism is largely invalid, which strains the reader's relationship with Mariko and makes the book hard to digest. However, while the oppression of the Japan e s e w o m e n s e e m s to d i s g u s t Bumiller, it does not even phase Mariko, who philosophically works within the Japanese family

constructs. "1 try to let him [her husband] think h e ' s number o n e — that puts a man in a good m o o d , " she says. As the year progresses, though, Bumiller sees that Mariko does, indeed, have m o r e f r e e d o m than it appears. By w o r k i n g within the c o n f i n e s of J a p a n e s e society, Mariko has managed to b e c o m e an i m p o r t a n t m e m b e r of the P T A , works part time for the Japan Travel Bureau, and by reading meters parttime she earns money to pay for her creative passion . . . lessons on the samisen, a traditional Japanese string instrument.

The irritation that a f f l i c t s Bumiller is slowly and gently replaced with a grudging admiration a n d h a z y u n d e r s t a n d i n g of t h e w o m a n ' s c o m m i t m e n t to children and family despite personal feelings of unhappiness. T h i s understanding allows the reader to lean forward and enjoy looking into the next nook, the next cranny, the new secret of Mariko. A s B u m i l l e r ' s anger and irritation subside, she also realizes that s o m e J a p a n e s e women, much to the m e n ' s chagrin, are not as complacent as they seem.

"I am not a Japanese m a n ' s type of w o m a n , " Mariko says, "I do what I want. I have initiative. I go according to my o w n schedule. Most Japanese w o m e n do what their husbands say."

T h r o u g h o u t the year, Bumiller grasps the difficult decisions fac-

ing Mariko. Decisions dealing with the m u c h - f e a r e d " c r a m " s c h o o l s (juku), w o r k , family, and personal happiness. T h e s e questions can not be d e a l t w i t h i d e a l i s t i c a l l y . If Mariko does not force her children into these schools, they may not ever be financially successful as adults. If she g o e s to work her ailing parents will suffer. If she stays home, she will b e c o m e depressed and sick. M a r i k o ' s optimistic attitude, though occcasionally clouded by everyday events, shines through the entire book. Her logic and love of the predictability and safety of her life o v e r c o m e s B u m i l l e r ' s doubts and perhaps the doubts of the readers.

Despite the fact that Mariko, like many other Japanese w o m e n , gives up many of her personal goals and refuses to leave her unhappy marriage, her husband, Takeshi, tells Bumiller, "Seriously speaking, you made a mistake to select Mariko as a model. S h e ' s not a typical housewife." And despite Bumiller's rocky b e g i n n i n g , she e v e n t u a l l y c o m e s to the heart of things, to The Secrets of Mariko. Bumiller brings us to the s a m e understanding that she comes to and that Mariko's husband c o m e s to. A f t e r a few drinks, he s a y s it succinctly. " S h e ' s a very mysterious person. I don't understand h e r . . . but you were right to c h o o s e h e r . J a p a n is f u l l of Marikos."
