Students support condom distribution in campus survey

by A. Halvcrson and J. Blair staff reporter &. c a m p u s editor In a survey taken by Student Congress, 64% of students said c o n d o m s should be available at the Hope College Health Clinic and 61% agreed they should be free.

T h e Heath Clinic Task Force, a subcommittee of Student Congress, tapped the pulse of the student body last spring, sending out a poll inquiring about the sexual habits of students, questioning whether or not they agreed with the distribution of birth control on H o p e ' s campus.

Discussion amongst representatives began last winter, said Mike Y a n t i s ( , 9 5 ) , Student C o n g r e s s c o m p t r o l l e r . T h e Health Clinic Task Force met with m e m b e r s of the Hope College Health Clinic to discuss issues the clinic thought needed attention, including the request that c o n d o m s be placed in the Health Clinic. " A s a student congress we need to be responsive to what students are feeling," Yantissaid. "The survey is a result of that."

The Task Force compiled and mailed some 1500 surveys, 30% of which were returned. T h e majority of respondents included freshmen and sophomore w o m e n .

Amongst the findings: • 41% percent reported they have had

sexual intercourse • 4 6 % have had oral sex • 7 6 % of those sexually active used protection • 6 1 % s u p p o r t t h e a v a i l a b i l i t y of c o n d o m s at no cost • 6 3 % s u p p o r t the a v a i l a b i l i t y of c o n d o m s at minimal cost Reactions to the surveys have run the gamut. " Please look at the example of a Colorado college in May 19, 1992 USA Today" wrote one respondent. " A f t e r 3 years of condom availability, they're expecting 100 births out of 1,200 students. T h a t ' s 3 1 % above the national average."

Others, however, supported the effort to study sexuality here on campus and the promotion of responsible action. " I ' m not promoting sex, but diseases are spreading," wrote another student. "If students are going to have sex, they will. Let's hope they have safe sex. We can't close our eyes to what already is going on."

Hope College, however, has a different take on the issue of condom distribution.

When the Task Force first broached the subject last spring at an informal meeting with President John Jacobson and J a m e s Bekkering, Vice-President of administration and student life, the administrators balked.

—

Congress asked: • Would you support the availability of condoms upon request at the health clinic?

• Would you support this service if condoms were m a d e available at no cost to either the college or the students?

"Hope College, by what it does, makes a statement," Jacobson said. "If we were to do this it would show that Hope approves and endorses sex."

Nina Bieliauskas ('97), Vice-President and former task force member, believes the safety of all circumcedes the other arguments.

"When it c o m e s to sex, the impression you get is that is does not occur on c a m pus," Bieliauskas said. "It's a Christian college. But b e i n g a Christian college, we should take care of ourselves and others." "...The truth is that they are still going to have it, with education or not," she added.

• Would you support this service if the condoms were available at minimal cost to the users of the condoms?

• Have you ever had sexual intercourse?

• Have you ever had oral sex?

• If yes, h a v e you used any method of protection?

B i e l i a u s k a s is so a d a m a n t a b o u t her stance that she keeps a f i s h b o w l full of c o n d o m s in her dorm room accessible to all residents.

"1 have free colorful c o n d o m s in my room and whenever s o m e o n e c o m e s in, I tell them what they are and explain where 1 am c o m i n g f r o m , " said Bieliauskas.

S o m e argue that c o n d o m s , while they don't mind them given away on campus, don't want to foot the bill.

"If a person is hell bent on having sex, by all means please use s o m e t h i n g , " said dean of the chapel Ben Patterson. "But 1

New phone offers direct line to Public Safety

by Janet Hernandez staff reporter Public Safety replaced the faulty e m e r g e n c y p h o n e located in the Pine G r o v e b e t w e e n D u r f e e and VanVleck halls with a new C o d e Blue phone system.

T h e phone w a s installed by the Computing & Information Technology Center (C1T) in coordination with Public Safety over Christmas break in response to public outcry

and the need for security upgrading, said D u a n e T e r p s t r a assistant director of Public Safety.

T h e outcry was mainly due to an incident that occurred last winter w h e n a student s u f f e r e d i n j u r i e s from a fall on the icy pavement behind Durfee.

Observers rushed to call 911 on the outside e m e r g e n c y phone and could not connect to Public Safety.

T h e phone w a s inoperative after repeated vandalization and other

abuse.

Public Safety also recognized the need for security upgrading, and replacement of that particular safety phone w a s a necessity. " T h e r e c e i v e r s kept g e t t i n g ripped off or broken," Terpstra said.

"It had to be replaced."

Along with the phone replacement, Steve Driesenga of CIT also supported an upgrade, "the safety phone that was there had a high fail-

ADMINISTRATIVE BABYSITTING

REASONABLE ENFORCEMENT

Jodi McFarland

Rob Harrison

The institution of parietals at Hope College is one that garners support from some and anger from others.

When asked their opinion on parietals, Hope students said...

Section 11.0 of the Hope student handbook outlines the m a x i m u m guest h o u r s f o r m e m b e r s of the opposite sex. Better known as parietals, these guest hours infringe upon the rights of students to govern their own actions.

A t t e n d i n g a college affiliated w i t h t h e R e f o r m e d C h u r c h of America, one would expect that the moral climate of the college in itself would affect the way in which t h e s t u d e n t s in t h i s ' d y n a m i c .

Christian c o m m u n i t y ' conduct their lives. U n f o r t u n a t e l y , not all stu"In college, we shouldlearn respond e n t s e n r o l l e d at H o p e C o l l e g e sibility. Parietals give us no opporc a m e here for the Christian atmotunity to decide what's right andsphere. In a college that bills itself first and foremost as a four-year, what's wrong.'

—Brandon Hayashi (97) liberal arts, undergraduate college, it is conceivable that the Christian affiliation has little to do with some students' enrollment, it is unfair to force a certain type of morality on students w h o c o m e here to get an education, not a lesson in conduct.

We pay $ 1 6 , 7 0 0 a year to be educated, not spoon-fed morality.

It stands to reason that the student body should be able to make such adult decisions about when guests need to leave for the night without 'I'm for parietals. i don't like girts,the college legislating it.

It is insulting for the college to plus / enjoy walking around naimply that w e as students lack the ked. °—Phung Yam (97) p r o p e r j u d g m e n t to d e c i d e such things for ourselves. T h e college p l e d g e s to ' p r e p a r e m e n a n d w o m e n w h o are persons in their own rights.'

H o w can such preparation be complete when the students are not -given enough credit to decide when it is and is not appropriate to entertain friends? College is supposed to act as a f o r u m f o r p e r s o n a l growth, not as a babysitter.

Granted, parietals are effective "Being adults, we should be able to at keeping your r o o m m a t e ' s special decide whether we should be ons o m e o n e f r o m being around too each other's floors or not." much, but shouldn't we be able to handle such conflicts on our own?

-Zach Miller (97) We need to learn to deal with interpersonal c o n f l i c t s now, not after graduation. Students need the communication skills to deal with dif-

ficultiesin rooming face to face.

With the way that t h e h a n d book is written now, e l i m i n a t ing section 11.0 would not be detrimental to the rights of students to function. Section 13.0, individual responsibilities and community rights, legislates against u n r e a s o n a b l e noise and interference with another person's studying and sleeping.

All through a d o l e s c e n c e , w e abide by the rules of our parents, and for many, going to college is our first chance to be on our own.

How pathetic it is that we at Hope College were shuttled from the laps of our parents to that of the administration.

At what point are we going to be able to g o v e r n o u r s e l v e s ? We need to be trusted to use the j u d g ment that our f a m i l i e s , churches and c o m m u n i t i e s instilled in us.

T h e elimination of p a r i e t a l s w o u l d also ease the burd e n on t h e r e s i dence life staff. No longer w o u l d R A s have to be watchdogs amongst their friends in respect to patterns of socialization. RAs would have more time to devote to infractions of a serious nature.

Parietals arc a convention that reflects a bygone era, one in which parents trusted educational institut i o n s to t a k e c a r e of t h e i r babies.This no longer reflects the college experience of today. Like c u r f e w s and u n i f o r m s , parietals need to be put out on the curb.

T h e only problem that arose during his speech was the lack of seating, the 6,000 attendants constituting the largest crowd ever at the school.

I must confess to s o m e surprise at having been asked to w r i t e in d e fense of parietals.

This had never struck me before as an issue to be debated; instead, parietals were rather like the hill that runs through the center of campus. S o m e t h i n g to be complained about, perhaps, or perhaps appreciated, but mostly just there, a condition of life at Hope College. T h e question, t h o u g h , forced m e to start thinking about them, to decide if I really supported them, and if so, why.

Certainly, they are an irritation. I can't count the n u m b e r of times that a conversation has been amputated or stunted by the need to leave s o m e o n e e l s e ' s r o o m and f i g u r e out w h e r e to go next. It's always a little a n n o y i n g to h a v e to d o t h i s , particularly when it is a g r o u p of people rather than j u s t t w o or three.

In a d d i tion, if you look at the reg u 1 at i o n s , it becomes clear t h a t they could stand some improvement. For e x a m p l e , in open areas such as dorm basements or a p a r t m e n t s (outside the bedrooms), only falling asleep constitutes a v i o l a t i o n of p a r i e t a l s .

Somehow, I never thought sleeping was the problem.

Nevertheless, for all their irritation value, though s o m e might wish to tinker a little, I support the

f

s

existence and general structure of parietals for two main reasons.

W h i l e s o m e p e o p l e h a v e no problem with having people of the opposite sex around, others are a little less c o m f o r t a b l e with being seen in their bathrobes. As one fem a l e p r o f e s s o r put it, " I t ' s bad enough that I have to know what I look like in the morning. I certainly d o n ' t want any g u y s to see me."

For s o m e , it is good to know that when they get up and go take their shower, they w o n ' t have to worry about w h o sees t h e m — e s p e cially when their neighbors take the opportunity to steal their clothes, as has been k n o w n to happen.

Beyond this is the fact that par i e t a l s a r e c o n s i s t e n t w i t h the avowed character of this college.

H o p e is a f f i l i a t e d w i t h t h e Reformed Church and committed to "the historic Christian faith." This d o e s not m e a n that the s c h o o l should impose that on every m e m ber of the college community, nor does it mean that it has the right to control p e o p l e ' s behavior.

T h i s is not a contract school; Hope lets all kinds of people in, and it must respect our beliefs, within l e g a l l i m i t s . H o w e v e r , w e all choose to c o m e here, and the school has a right to expect that we will respect the b e l i e f s and values to which it is c o m m i t t e d . On that basis, it has a right to some level of restrictions on student behavior.

To put it another way, just because the school may not prevent certain b e h a v i o r s does not mean that it must support them.

Parietals are an example of this.

T h e y do not k e e p students f r o m having sex, as we all know, but they w e r e n ' t designed to. They simply seek to ensure that each of us will respect our neighbors, the traditions of this school and the will of those w h o support it, and spend the night alone.

This is an entirely reasonable expectation on the s c h o o l ' s part, and parietals a reasonable means of enforcement.

Duo-pianists double your pleasure

by Rob Abbot and Marka Cross staff reporters Not since the fabulous Baker b o y s has there been such a dynamic duo as guest pianists Yuki and T o m o k o Mack, w h o perf o r m e d a four-hand piano concert through the 1995 Artist Piano Series.

Like purple Gorgons, the duo, donned in matching royal purple dresses, performed on one piano and dazzled the audience with a spectacular concert.

For those of you who missed out on P a u l S i m o n ' s s p e c t a c u l a r Graceland Tour, S A C has decided to bring the next best t h i n g — t h e musical mixture of folk, rock, and b l u e s p e r f o r m e d by d u o a r t i s t s Curnutte & Mahcr.

T h e a m a z i n g pair, w h o visited the c a m p u s last year, will be returning to their stage in T h e Kletz on Friday Jan. 2 7 at 8:30 p.m. The performance promises to be a completely entertaining and unplugged experience.

letters to the editor...

EDITORIAL

The great condom debate Once again, the Health Clinic Task Force, a subcommittee of Student Congress is probing into the issue of condoms at the Hope College Health Clinic. As always, much debate has surfaced concerning the issue.

Debate about things like safe sex and immorality of premarital sex is easily understood. However, debate about whether or not condoms should be made available at the health clinic, is pointless. The truth is, it does not make any difference.

The people who are in favor of condoms being provided at the health clinic are saying that they want to make sure that if people are engaging sex, they are doing it safely. But when you think about it, the distribution of condoms at the health clinic won't impact the safety of sexual relations between Hope students.

As we see it, people engage in unsafe sex for one of three reasons: embarrassment, irresponsibility/stupidity, and substance abuse.

First, they may be too embarrassed to go out and get condoms at one of the many places that they are already available in the area. In this case, we highly doubt that they are going to feel more comfortable taking care of these matters in the health clinic. Why would somebody who was too embarrassed to buy condoms from Joe Blow at Meijers stop in and fill their pockets somewhere where they run the risk of running into peers and professors?

Then there are the people who are irresponsible and/or too stupid to realize the importance of safe sex. Unfortunately, free condoms will not help them. It is nice to think that it would help, but as we all know, just because you provide the bait, doesn't mean you'll always get a bite. Sadly, stupid is forever, and no matter how easy you make something, truly ignorant people are still going to miss it.

Finally, unprotected sex is sometimes the result of intoxication or an altered state of mind. This is something else that having condoms in the health clinic is not going to help. Odds are that two drunk people aren't going to say "you know, I'd love to take you home and have sex, but the health clinic isn't open right now/' People are either responsible enough to prepare for situations like this in advance, or to make sure that they don't get into them. And again, condoms in the health clinic will not make people any more responsible than they already are.

The flip side of the condoms in the health clinic "debate" is equally as ridiculous.

People who are against having condoms at the health clinic seem to think that by simply providing them, we will be promoting, approving and endorsing sex, all in one fell swoop. One anti-condoms-in-the-healthclinic activist even explained how at Colorado College, the number of student pregnancies sky-rocketed after condoms were made available for three years.

Let's get something strait. Showing people where they can find condoms does not promote sexual activity. If it did, we here at The Anchor would be anxiously awaiting a mass orgy in Phelps tomorrow directly following the distribution of this week's edition. Just because people can walk to the health clinic and get a condom does not mean that everybody is going to become sexually active. Hope students deserve more credit than this.

Furthermore, having condoms in the health clinic, does not make a statement that Hope College 'approves and endorses sex', as President Jacobson said. Instead, it would make a statement that Hope College acknowledges sex. And, even if the college feels that pre-marital sex is a sin according to the Bible, it seems contradictory to Christianity not to acknowledge sin.

It is time for Hope College to demonstrate some confidence in both the intelligence and the morality of their students. We must allow students first the opportunity to make moral and intellectual decisions, and secondly we must trust those decisions.

One last issue remains in the condoms-at-the-health-clinic debate— the issue of money i.e. if we have 'em, whose gonna pay for 'em? This is a good question. Evidently, the answer is nobody, for according to Nina Bielauskas ('97), Student Congress Vice-President, the first 1000 would be free.

If this is true, we say go for it. Take the thousand, stick 'em the health clinic and see what happens. It could result in a pleasant surprise.

Dear Editor, Twenty two years ago this week.

Roe vs. Wade was decided in the Supreme Court. Since that decision there has been an ongoing battle between pro life and pro choice. However, what w a s hailed to be the most w o m a n liberating court decision was actually the decision that ena b l e d the p u b l i c to c a t e g o r i z e w o m e n as being s u b o r d i n a t e s to men. The decision made by the Sup r e m e Court ( c o n s i s t i n g of how many men vs. w o m e n ? ) has been called "the most fundamental right of w o m e n " by the National Organization of Women. This is terribly ironic because abortion does not liberate a woman. According to Feminists for Life, abortion and the alleged need for it validate and give credit to a patriarchal view that w o m e n burdened by their reproductive capacity are in essence inferior to men. This court decision fed the t h e o r i e s by m a n y p e o p l e that women are so weak in their initial choices, that the only solution for them is abortion. In order to be truly f e m i n i s t , these oppressing ideals need to be denied.

Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness is a well known phrase from American history, notice life is listed first. According to the California Medical Association life is "the scientific fact, which everyone really knows, that human life begins at c o n c e p t i o n and is c o n t i n u o u s whether intra- or extra-uterine until d e a t h . " The medical facts are stacked in an overwhelming number that abortion is indeed murder.

P r o f e s s o r M i c h e l i n e R o t h of Harvard University Medical School

declares that "it i s incorrect to say that biological d a t a cannot be decisive... it is scientifically correct to say that an individual human life begins at conception." At the very moment of conception all of the genetic information necessary to build our body and brain is present. By the e i g h t e e n t h day a f t e r c o n c e p t i o n , there is a detectable heart beat. Prior to the first trimester, the unborn has all the body parts of an adult. Dr. Bernard Nathenson, confounder of the National A b o r t i o n R i g h t s League was involved with over sixty three thousand abortions. His study of the developments of the fetus and the use of ultrasound made him resign he declares " i n c r e a s i n g certainty that I in f a c t presided over sixty-thousand deaths." So why are people still having abortions, when the evidence of murder is clear? I doubt there is a sincerely legitimate reason, but there a r e many excuses that w o m e n who h a v e had abortions will use, health reasons as the first.

An Alan Guttenmacher institute survey f o u n d that nearly one half of all women getting abortion used no birth control, 82% o f the w o m e n are unmarried and only seven percent are performed for t h e health of the mother, clearly abortion is being used as a form of birth control, and is not a health issue. The argument has been used that cases of child abuse will rise if abortion is made illegal because the children will be mistreated. According to The United States Department of Health and Human Services: National Study on Child Abuse and Neglect, the fact is that child abuse has increased 500% since 1973, perhaps due to the

accepted lack of respect for life generated f r o m Roe vs. Wade. It is also a m y t h that the t y p i c a l a b o r t i v e w o m a n is poor teenager. " Factually, two thirds of women getting abortions are between the a g e s of t w e n t y and t w e n t y - f o u r .

Sixty-eight percent are white, and two-thirds have an income of over $11,000. Being Pro-Life I must also condemn the killing of abortion doctors, while I agree that abortion is wrong, the select f e w w h o take it upon themselves to kill these doctors do not in any way represent the majority of P r o - L i f e people, and should be punished by the law. As with all rights we need to implicate responsibility, those w h o were in favor of legalized abortion in the 1 9 7 0 ^ have been voted as being shocked f r o m the outcome admitted that it was never meant to be like this. T h e Alan Guttenmacher Institute has researched and declared that nearly one in three pregnancies ends in abortion, 1.6 million abortions take place in the United States each year.

Every day w o m e n are being robbed of their most fulfilling duty of giving life to another person. As w o m e n we need to stand up and declare that we have had enough of this unacceptable enforced ideal. We need to stop accepting the idea that we are weak, and start holding the fathers partly responsible. We need to start standing up for our unborn children and end the idea that it is acceptable to be pit against our unborn babies.

Sincerely, Monika Smith (^S)

invisible 54' recognize their leader Dear Editor, Over the past few months the issue of Homosexuality at Hope has been debated. A reoccurring argument has been, "Gays have 'altered' their sexuality-and through hard work and prayer it can be changed back." We, a group of 54 students, have c o m e together to enter our experience into this debate. None of us are involved in the controversial Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Student Union; and none of us have chosen to act upon our sexuality.

Each and every one of us have t r i e d f o r m o s t of o u r l i v e s to ' c h a n g e ' and become heterosexual.

We have prayed, we have worked, and most of us have even gone to psychiatrists in search of a medical "cure". Each and every one of- us have found that there is no cure, and the most we can do is remain celibate.

We h a v e n o t i c e d that m a n y people in this community do not believe we exist here. But yet we do.

We are in the sports teams, religious organizations, fraternities, and stu-

dent organizations. We are in your classes, your dorms, and your lives.

We are here, but for s o m e reason invisible. Invisible because you try to identify us with false stereotypes.

Thus you can not " s e e " us.

All of us have g o n e through so much pain here at H o p e . T h e constant remarks and p o o r arguments against us wear on us mentally. The intolerance is unbearable and unacceptable. It is degrading, dehumanizing, and wrong. T h e r e are also those of us w h o have gone through a different pain-physical. On occasion gay b a s h i n g t a k e s place on campus. When it d o e s , we cannot report it. Not with all the risks. This is the reason w e have c o m e together.

We have to speak out against the physical violence because it cannot be allowed to continue. So far, we have found only one true ally and role model. He has nurtured us, protected us, brought us together, and led us. How he did it all we shall never know. But he d i d , and he deserves the recognition and respect he is owed. He has sacrificed everything for us - his grades, his repu-

tation, and even his safety. He has done everything from speaking for us to protecting us. We have no idea how many t i m e s one of us have called him in the middle of the night for a safe place to stay. We have no idea how many times he's cleaned up our blood and our tears. Nor do we know how much he has suffered in the process. We can never begin to repay him.

We, the "Invisible 54" recognize and honor Ben Perfitt as our true ally and friend. He has graciously given us his t i m e , his energy, and his strength while he had nothing to gain in return. He has acted as our hope, our encouragement, and our protector. We also send our hugs and encouragement to any other students out there in our position. "It's not a nightmare—it's life. So hang on, chin up . . . tomorrow will be better. Our goal is to survive one day at a time, and look back on it later."

Sincerely, The Invisible 54

Student fed up with 'slip-slidin' away Dear Editor, Let me first start by thanking you Hope College Maintenance for clearing some of the sidewalks after this w e e k e n d ' s winter storm.

While walking to class I only observed f i v e people wipe out and have so far only heard of one broken arm as a result of simply walking from Phelps to Graves. That, I'm afraid is the only praise I can give you. The purpose of this letter is to vent some frustrations my friends and I have with your services. My roommate and I went out to get her car so she could drive me to work.

While approaching the lot w e were

both amazed...not by t h e mounds of snow hiding the roof a n d windows of the car but by the heaps of snow your trucks used to t r a p the car in and hide it f r o m the naked eye. We had to kick the snow a w a y from the back of the car. The s n o w came up to my knees. How w e r e we s u p posed to back out over that? Needless to say, I didn't get t o work and, thus, lost a day of pay. Can you afford to pay everyone y o u make late for work? Are you willing to give your job to college students who lost their j o b because they w e r e unable to get to work that day? What is the solution? H o p e College designed " s n o w r e m o v a l " areas in parking

lots to have a place to deposit these m o u n d s of s n o w . S t u d e n t s are charged $ 1 0 if they park there, yet following the rules and parking in a legal spot only inconveniences the students. It is almost worth the ten bucks to be able to drive our cars whenever we want. When I was sent a freshman check list this year it did not i n c l u d e o b v i o u s l y important things like snow shovels and salt.

Are w e e x p e c t e d to b r i n g these things? W h a t is the solution?

Sincerely,

Karin Schaefer ('98)

"It really tore at my h e a r t , " Schmidt said. "I saw refugee camps on the West Bank w h e r e people were living in i n h u m a n e c o n d i tions, with no water, insufficient shelter, and cold in the wintertime...and Jewish settlements looming over the camps, all big and nice.

Schmidt took five weeks of intense c l a s s e s at a u n i v e r s i t y in J e r u s a l e m , and then s p e n t f i v e w e e k s touring the country, even s t a y i n g with f a m i l i e s in d e s e r t kibbutzes (communal farms).

"I was excited for football, for the people in the g a m e w h o are good, who win without cheating,"

Kreps said.

In the e v e n i n g s , the c o a c h e s hung out, w a t c h e d tapes of past games, and talked shop.

A c c o r d i n g to Stu Fritz, head offensive coach, the trip w a s a time of bonding for the new c o a c h i n g team. "The best part of this trip was the camaraderie of our own staff," he said.

Hope football has a promising season ahead with this new coaching staff, according to Kraft. Kreps is entering his first year as head coach here at Hope. After 2 8 years as o f f e n s i v e coach, Kraft is now working with defensive linebackers. Fritz coached defense for two years, but now will be c o a c h i n g offense.

Dutch fall in contest for first

Sl'ORIS

O F F T H E WAIVER W I R E

Greg Paplawsky

lOne moment in time: Super Bowl XXIX This Sunday the world will stand still. The birds will stop singing and chirping their merry songs, snow will cease to fall, and even the stars in the sky will pause their cosmic ballet of chasing each other across the heavens, for the a m u s e m e n t of all who care to cast a glance their way. This may not be true literally, but it will seem like it for when the Super Bowl is on.

Even to the causal sports fan the Super Bowls significance is recognized. It is the climatic end to a crescendo of brutal football that has been building throughout the regular season and playoffs.

The entire N F L season comes down to this one g a m e to crown a champion. One g a m e for a c h a m p i o n s h i p is fairly unique in professional sports; most have a best of whatever series to determine the champion.

Not the Super Bowl, it is a winner-take-all fight to the end.

There are no second chances, no "We'll get 'em tomorrow fellas."

It's a one shot deal. T h e heroes will emerge as will the goats.

You must have no fear, being scared will do you no good. You must face this Super Bowl beast and say to it with a loud and c o m m a n d i n g voice, "I will not fear you, I will watch you, I will enjoy you, and 1 will love y o u . " The g a m e of g a m e s this year features two teams that got their from opposite ends. T h e San Francisco 49ers were a picked by almost everyone, except for a few Dallas holdovers, to roll to the N F C c h a m p i o n s h i p g a m e and face the C o w b o y s . The C o w b o y s bounced the Niners the last two years f r o m the playoffs. So in the off season, the 49ers loaded up with free agents designed to stop D a l l a s - t h e most notable of which was Deion Sanders, followed by Ken

Norton Jr., Rickey Jackson, and Richard Dent. With all the new acquisitions, the N F C was the Niners' to control, and they did just that rolling up a league best 15 wins to only 3 defeats.

T h e San Diego Chargers took a different path to greatn e s s - a n d a much tougher one at that.

T h e Chargers were thfc preseason pick to finish last in their division. They did not give up and earned a play-off birth and scratched their way through.

San Diego battled f r o m behind to gain victory over Miami in the divisional play-off g a m e and then in the A F C c h a m p i o n s h i p g a m e the Chargers again came f r o m behind to nip the Steelers in the fourth quarter when Tony Martin beat Tim McKyer on a deep pass. San Diego is in the Super Bowl for the first time in the teams history.

The two California teams will meet in Miami to settle the score. T h e g a m e features some interesting match-ups to look for.

T h e battle between Deion Sanders and the rest of the Niners secondary against the speedy Chargers receivers.

T h e r e ' s the power, up-the-gut running of San Diego's Natrone Means trying to find room with Ken Norton Jr. and the 49ers defensive line lurking about like street rats on a warm s u m m e r s night in the city .

The difference in the g a m e will be if San D i e g o ' s at times suspect d e f e n s e can control the free running Niner o f f e n s e . If Steve Young is given time the Chargers are dead in the water.

T h e 49ers simply are unstoppable on o f f e n s e . You can't stop them you can only hope to contain them. T h i s g a m e should be interesting into the second quarter; after that the 49ers will o v e r w h e l m the Chargers and the rout will be on.

The Flying Dutch lost a heartbreaking game last Saturday to the Alma Lady Scots 75-46, knocking them out of a tie for the top spot in the M1AA.

T h e Macks captured the serenity of a serene Spanish landscape as well as the festive jubilation of a nighttime fiesta.

And fitting in e v e r y o n e ' s great American favorite, the Macks concluded their program with Gershwin's Rhapsodie in Blue.

T h e Worldwide Web and Usenet News software has been given to a few faculty in order to determine if these programs are logical for use on H o p e ' s campus.

Policy issues dealing with freedom of speech and levels of morality need to be addressed, sai 1 Carl Heideman, C I T assistant director. T h e college is also considering the price of the software and performance of the system under the anticipated high d e m a n d , he said. Also under consideration is the question of whether the students will use the system for academic purposes.

The results of the faculty experiment with the new systems are expected to be concluded near the end of the semester, and hopefully the new software will be available for student use in 1996.
