Students reflect on D.C. experience Alayna Parsons-Valles C a m p u s E ditor

As the United States is faced with the questions of how to move forward in the light of the new nationals situation, some have found an answer and way to make their voice heard.

Hundreds of thousands of people from women to men attended the women’s march on Washington D.C. Some Hope College students made the journey to our nations capital and experienced one ofthe most powerful and rewarding days of their lives. Those who could not make the trip still had a chance to join the cause and rallied closer to home in Grand Rapids.

and diverse communities are the strength of our country."

The event was attended by numerous Hope students around the country and globe with each having their own meaningful reasons to join the march.

“When people attack you, sometimes allyou can do is turn the other cheek with grace,” Abigail Lalonde (’17) shared, “M y personal motivation to march comes from my love for the earth and my friends who have been sexually assaulted, or who are homosexual or have varying racial backgrounds.”

The event was filled with so much sentiment and comfort.

Women being surrounded by their fellow neighbors gave hope to the cause.

She shares her belief in the march, “I am speaking out because of that love, not for any hate in my heart. M y movement is a movement of peace, and that is something I will always stand behind.” see

Step U p and C A S A search for n e w volunteers Aaron Estelle & Joy Rhine S aint B enedict Institute S taff

The Step Up program at Hope College is beginning again this spring semester in the coming weeks. The program matches school students to our campus by pairing the kids with volunteer mentors. The mentors provide them with the consistent support they need to succeed in school and reach their personal potentials.

The time spent with the kids is very rewarding and there is so much fun to have with them.

Mentors share that they start with homework, but make up H ope C ollege games to make learning more fun and keep the kids engaged.

CASA aims at working with and helping at-risk kids before they slip through the cracks with after school tutoring. CA S A offers one-on-one tutoring four days a week during the school year. Each student attends a session twice a week on either Mon./Wed. or Tues./Thurs. The kids are given homework time, reading and enrichment time.

“Throughout the march there was an overall sense of cohesion.

It really seemed that every person marching was happy to be there and appreciative of their fellow marchers,” Mara Timmeney (T8) commented on the rally she attended in Chicago with her mother.

The W o m e n ’s March mission for the event include, “In the spirit of democracy and honoring the champions of human rights, dignity, and justice who have come before us, we join in diversity to show our presence is too great to ignore. W e stand together,

A ssistant P r o f e s s o r o f M usic

Trump aims to fulfill campaign promises Colin O ’Connor W o r l d C o -Editor @ c o u n _ocon nor0

On Friday, Donald Trump officially became president of the United States. His term began with somewhat of a rocky start, as his press secretary, Sean Spicer, spoke to the press about a controversy surrounding the estimated attendance of the inauguration and a comparison between two pictures of the crowd. Spicer also blasted the media for “demoralizing” coverage ofthe Trump campaign and inauguration.

Late Friday night, the Department of Housing and Urban Development released a m e m o stating that the Federal Housing Administration, or FHA, reduction of mortgage premiums had been “suspended indefinitely.” The move has been called a “terrible thing to do to American homeowners” by Sen. Chuck Schumer, because it will cease the decrease in mortgage premiums that was supposed to take place on Jan. 27.

Trump issued an executive order aimed at rolling back Obamacare on Friday night as well, although this order is more of a political statement than a change in policy. One of Trumps key campaign promises was to repeal Obamacare, although no plan has been presented by the

Republicans. The full repeal of Obamacare, or the Affordable Care Act, would take at least one year, probably more, due to the gridlock in Congress surrounding the issue and the complexity of the original documents. Until a solid plan is present by the Republicans, no change is likely to occur for the millions of Americans currently enrolled through the various healthcare exchanges.

The new administration was very busy Friday night, as they also issued an executive order halting all new and pending regulations in executive branch departments to give the administration time to look over the rules and. decide which to keep and which to remove. Another one of Trump’s campaign promises was to slash the red tape regulations that plagues small businesses in America and make it hard for new businesses to come into existence. The massive amount of regulation in America today has hindered the growth and development of new businesses, and hopefully the Trump administration will be sympathetic to their pleas.

On Saturday Trump delivered a speech to.the CIA at their headquarters in Langley, Virginia. Highlighting the lack of space in the CIA’s auditorium and the “hundreds" of people

who could not attend as a result, Trump spoke to the recent animosity between him and the agency. Trump stated his support for the agency and told them he would back them more than anyone else had in the past and that they may not even want all of his backing. Hopefully the negative sentiments held about President Trump leave the CIA with Director Brennan’s departure. In closing, Trump praised his nominee for director of the CIA, now confirmed, Mike Pompeo, for his military service and can-do attitude.

On Sunday Trump announced that he would begin renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement, commonly know as NAFTA, with Canada and Mexico. By letting Americans know his intentions to fulfill yet another campaign promise less than 72 hours after he took office,Trump islikelyattempting to build up the political capital he needs to affect the change he wants to impose on the Federal government.

Monday morning President Trump issued yet another executive order to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a massive trade deal involving nearly 15 percent of the world's economy. This move secures another promise made on the campaign trail

THE 45TH PRESIDENT — Last Friday Donald T r u m p w a s sworn into the office of the presidency, along with Vice Presi­ dent P e n c e on Capitol Hill. and stays in line with Trump's belief in free trade, rather than unfair trade agreement that he attributes the mass exodus of American manufacturing to.

One can only hope that Trump’s deal making skills, the ones he touted so much on the campaign trail, are legit.

In yet another controversial move, President Trump announced that he was considering moving the US. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, a move praised by Jewish groups and Israeli Prime Minster Netanyahu.

If the first few days are any indication of what is to come

from the Trump presidency, the next four years will be quite eventful. By already fulfilling several campaign promises, Trump issecuring his favor with his constituency and attempting to build up political capital. It remains to be seen whether or not he will be able to enact the change that more than fifty million Americans hoped for when they cast their vote last November.

With just under four years to go, one can only guess what the Federal government will look like when Trump leaves or is reinstated into office.

Let’s all admit that 2016 was not a year to look back upon gratefully. The U.S. went through so many political is­ sues and events itself that most Americans were not aware of their neighboring countries.

With that being said, it’s im­ portant to bring Brexit up front again. We've all heard about it and most of us have a basic un­ derstanding ofit,but what’shap­ pening now after eight months since the referendum?

To recap what Brexit was all about, this event occurred when Britain held a referendum, or a voting, on whether they should remain or leave the EU. In addi­ tion to this dramatic exit, Britain received a new Prime Minister, Theresa May, who took over Da­ vid Cameron’s place after he re­ signed. While May agreed with Cameron against leaving the EU, she decided to take the stand and keep an “open mind” to lead to a negotiable approach.

More recently, on Jan. 17, May gave a speech to several diplomats at London’s Lan­ caster House. This was where she promised to work with the Brexit agreement, accepting that Britain will leave the single mar­ ket membership. The Indepen­ dent recorded her speech last Tuesday with her objectives for her main goal, creating a peace­ ful partnership between Britain and the European Union.

F a m e d troupe Upright Citizens visits Annah Duffey A rts C o -Editor

Ifsomeone were to ran­ domly walk into the DeWitt lobby last Friday night at 7:30 p.m., they would have found a long line of chattering Hope students waiting to rush into the large auditorium. Ittwisted and turned itsway around the entire firstfloor. What was everyone waiting for? The Vanderprov and Upright Citizens Brigade comedy night.

The doors abruptly opened at 8 p.m. and students flooded in to await the show, which be­ gan a halfhour later. Nearly ev­ ery seat in both the lower level and balcony was occupied.

Since the show lastwinter, Hope students have been eager to experience the improvisa­ tion groups once more.

Vanderprov isthe studentrun improvisation group at Hope. They are a group of about twelve students who put on a show every month of the school year, which isalways highly anticipated. But couple them with the professional Upright Citizens Brigade group and the enthusiasm skyrockets.

As was mentioned by the Stu­ dent Activities Committee at the show, the Upright Citizens Brigade was formed by actress A m y Poehler.

The show began with Van­ derprov, who performed two skits. The firstwas a threeperson skit which involved random prompts for each character to substitute words with another idea and the other involved audience suggestions for categories, which partners would act out together. After

performing both and getting laughs out of the audience, the team returned to their seats to await the main act.

For this performance, there were five men from the improvisation group. They started offby focusing on Hope and receiving our reactions on campus staples including the Pull, Nykerk and Good Time Donuts. Later, after asking for volunteers, the team inter­ viewed Rachel Brumagin (T9) onstage. Each team member asked multiple questions about her life in order to create skits from her answers.

Throughout the night, the team delivered hysterical skits that had everyone in atten­ dance laughing. One of the most memorable moments was when they recreated students attempting to be cool, while

slipping on the hail-ice from Jan. 16. There was also a skit with President Knapp walking into the cafeteria and acting like a celebrity, which the audi­ ence found hilarious.

For the lasthalfof the show, the group pulled text messages from crowd members that were odd and out of context. Topics they drew from included a dead deer over someone's bed, an automated deal on phone plans and cannibalism. As they walked offat the end of the night, the improvisation team was met with tumultuous ap­ plause.

All in all,itwas an enjoy­ able evening for everyone in attendance, judging from the smiles and chuckles. The high anticipation from lastyear was clearly satisfied. Perhaps SAC will book them again next year.

Marchers who made their marl Shelby Rhodes (’18) “I marched for allthe women who marched before me and all the ones coming after. W e need to look out for one another"

Julia Newman (’17) -

“This is not a picture of me, but of a sign that I thought was super important for this march. Iam a senior atHope College studying to be an elementary teacher. Imarched because Iwant m y future students to believe in the inclusion of ALL people, to celebrate diversity, to advocate for equal rights for all,for accessible education for allchildren.

Imarched to change the conversations from hate to those that express empathy. E m ­ pathy can be expressed by learning about other people’s stories, those who have been op­ pressed, and looking at them and saying I understand you, I am your allyand will march with you. Expressing empathy instead ofhate creates a country full of unity and love. As one of the speakers said at the march, ‘we are an uprising of love’and that iswhy Ichose to march.”

Lauren Perry (’18) Location: Women’sMarch inNantes, France “It was so humbling to be in a foreign country, surrounded by hundreds of men and women w h o m I didn’t know and who aren’t Ameri­ cans but were standing with us in solidarity. I feltvery safe and cared for!”

Allie Schultz (’18) “W h e n people talk about ‘women’s issues) they assume that the only issues women deal with are tampon prices and moth­ erhood. While these things are important, I marched to prove that women live with and defend against so many other important things like climate changes, health care and the economy!”

W a n t to m a k e your o w n difference?

Marchers were given the number (202)-225-3121 Shelby Ryan (’19) “I marched for all peaceful Americans and for the support, care and respect that everyone deserves in this great nation.

Despite differingpolitical opinions, our most important job isto treat each other with kindness.”

“I marched yesterday because I believe in political, social and economic equality for people of allgenders. I marched yesterday because the new adminis­ tration represents the interests of the billionaire class at the expense of the working and middle classes. I marched yesterday because at Hope College, my friends were Personally attacked and derided for their identities in the name of our Presi­ dent. I marched yesterday because we need to put our bodies where our beliefs are. I marched for solidarity, I marched for liberation, I marched for freedom and I marched for unity: for the sight of a million and a half people gathered in unity, proving that with different beliefs, backgrounds and persuasions, we can stillstand together and move as one. In the face ofdivisive, nationalist and hateful rhetoric from the new administration, I marched to remind the world that we are America and our current leader does not represent us.”

Sarah Foster (’17) “I wanted to go to the Womens March in D C because I felt devastated after this election. I saw the fear of my friends who come from marginalized communities and wanted to do something more than posting my feehngs online.

It was amazing to go and stand at a place that was the epicenter of something so much larger than myself, to see how my devastation and the fear I saw in my friends could be used in such an effective way by so many people. Even though there were many people in D C for the march, I saw nothing but a spirit of love and comradery. Ilearned from those who spoke about how we can affect greater change in the issues we care about when we allcan work together.”

Caroline Barrett (’18) “I attended the W o m e n ’s March on Washington for a couple of reasons.

One, because we are all human and we all deserve the same rights no matter our gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc. Love trumps hate! I also attended because I am so very confused how I stilldon’t have the rights over what Iwant to do with m y body and that men in the government control me currently. Itisnot fair and in the words of Hillary Clinton, ‘women’s rights are human rights and human rights are women’s rights.’”

Katelyn Kiner (’17) “I marched, because I spent my year abroad telling Europeans that Trump would never get elected and Iwas horrified and embarrassed by the result.

Imarched, because Iwas angry and scared and needed to see that Iwas not alone in dreaming of an America of greater diversity and acceptance.

I marched because I heeded to take a stand-no matter how symbolic-that I would dedicate myself to fighting for greater freedom and equality for allAmericans.

I marched, because our President needed to be shown that millions of Americans will stand united against any racist, sexist, homophobic agenda he tries to push through.

Imarched, because itisthe people that show up who change history and Iwant to leave a bet­ ter America for the generations to come.

Imarched, because I love America and know what history shows time and time again. She is worth fighting for.”

from the tedious monotony and stress that is life. As I was going through my collection of Blurays the other day, Irealized that I had a large number of Super­ hero movies, which led me to question, would life be better with a super power? Maybe, but I think itdepends on which one.

Super Strength

Adam Nottoll C o -Editorhn -C hief ©ADAMNOTTOLI

Most of m y time is spent in class, at work or working on homework, and a lot of the time I feel incredibly overwhelmed and unbelievably busy. So, like I assume most people in similar situations do, I kill a lot of time that I’m not busy by watching movies, playing games and read­ ing fun books to distract myself

I know what you’re thinking.

“Super strength would be super cool! I’d have rocking abs and big biceps. I could totally go to bodybuilding competitions and I could show everybody how strong and awesome I am. I’d be great at sports like Baseball be­ cause I’d always hit homeruns.

And, I could beat up anybody that threatens me or my family!"

Yeah, those sound like great bo­ nuses to life, but none of them are really that important. You see, the worst thing about su­ per strength, is that if you use it once, everybody will immedi­ ately know that you have it, and

they will allask you to help them with literally everything. “Hey, I’m moving and we need some help.” Or maybe you’d get some­ one saying, “Hey, my car broke down so I can’t drive home, can you carry it?” There’s no way you’d get to do anything without feeling like a terrible person.

Super Speed Man, getting from one place to another super quickly would be a dream. There would be so much more time to do stuff, you wouldn't need to pay for a car and you’d be awesome at sports.

But, super speed isjust running really fast, and believe it or not, none of us are in good enough shape to run distances that you see people run in movies and comics. Sometimes the Flash runs over an ocean, which could be over 3000 miles. I don’t think I’ve traveled that distance in the 21 years that I’ve been alive put together. Your legs would prob­ ably explode.

that wasted time spent getting an education. Perhaps invest in a hat from the 90’s that in­ corporated hidden headphones and wear that hat to every class, regardless of how hideous it might be. Pretend to take notes on your laptop when in fact you are binge-watching another episode of your show. Have an­ other window of pseudo-notes actually ready so that you can easily switch between screens in the event that your professor gets to close to discovering your scheme.

Step 5: Stare at the wreckage of your college education, your GPA and class scores scattered around you in a sea of fire and poor decisions. Your m o m is on hold, crying on the other end, unable to understand how you went downhill so fast. You can’t even begin to explain your ac­

tions, so you keep her on hold as your grip on reality slowly slips from your cold, trembling hands. You start reading up on temporal physics and discover a theoretical way to time travel.

The method is untested and could end in a tortuous demise, but you have no other options.

You take the leap, and end up back before everything went wrong. You see your younger self opening up Netflix for the first time about to decide on a new show. You grab the laptop and throw it out the window; you think you fixed what once went wrong and can finally go home, to the lifeyou should have had in the firstplace.

However, your tampering of the timeline made it so you would never try to travel back in time in the first place, and thus you cease to exist.

Their clothes don’t turn invis­ ible. So sure, you can do every­ thing you want, but you’ll be naked the whole time. And, if you're reading this, you most likely live in Michigan or some­ where very close. N o w imagine you're outside at a concert, sur­ rounded by plenty of people, na­ ked in one of our winters. Yeah, don’t choose invisibility.

Sure there are plenty of other powers that you could have, but most of them suck. With time control, you'll probably end up causing a paradox and ensur­ ing you don’t exist. Speaking to animals would get so incredibly annoying after a while. And if you don't know the issues with Invisibility This has to be the best power shapeshifting, that’s a you thing. right?

Nadal a n d Federer in the mix In Australian Open fourth-round play, top-ranked players advance

Isabel Bustamante S p o r t s C o -Editor

This year marks the 112th Australian Open, and this past Saturday and Sunday, the numbers shrunk to eight in singles play. Ninth-seeded Rafael Nadal took down Gael Monfils to land him a spot in the quarter-finals. Addition­ ally, Roger Federer grabbed a spot in the quarters as well as well-known sisters Venus and Serena Williams, who will both be competing for a step closer to facing-off in the finals. American favorites, Bob and Mike Bryan, will also be competing for the U.S. in Mens doubles.

Spaniard Rafael Nadal and Swiss Roger Federer are long-time fan favorites no matter the country. Federer is considered the best tennis player of all time with a total of 17 Grand Slam titles and 87 overall titles. Nadal comes up only slightly short of Federer.

The Spaniard has managed to win himself 14 Grand Slams and 67 titles overall.

Where the Swiss is a player of grace, the Spaniard is a player of grit. The rivalry of the two, also known as Fadal, is one many that tennis fans love. Although Federer is ranked above Nadal in history, Nadal has managed to snag 68 percent of the wins in the rivalry with 23 going to him and 11 to Federer. The last time the two faced-off, Federer came out on top, however, the last match they played at the

Australian Open, Nadal won in the semifinal match, but unfortunately came up short in the finals to Swiss Stanis­ las Wawrinka. Although the match between Nadal and Federer is unlikely, a tennis fan can hope, and look forward to the final few rounds of the Open.

The currently No. 1 ranked singles players, Andy Murray and Angelique Kerber, were both taken down in the fourth round of play as well as Novak Djokovic, a holder of 12 Grand Slam titles, who was defeated in the second round. With all of the losses inside the mens bracket, Federer has been a standout. Federer took down Nishikori in the fourth round playing five sets before winning the last 6-3.

Meanwhile, Nadal’s take­ down of Monfils in the fourth round was won in four matches.

Nadal showed a dominating game, only dropping only the third set 4-6. Although Nadal is seeded above Federer, Nadal will likely face a tougher path to make itto the finals.

Both players show immense skill, and watching them in the tournament has shown that age is hardly holding either athlete back. Nadal's powerful twohanded backhand and strength and speed as well as Federer’s powerful serve and grace still remain present as shown in this year’s Australian Open.

Meanwhile, on the womens side, Venus Williams has made a return as she snatches up a spot in the semifinals. IfSerena

The Falcons are set to face the Patriots for the professional football game of the year. The Falcons took down the Packers with no problem ending with the score of 44-21. Meanwhile, on the other side of the bracket in the AFC, the Patriots took down the Steelers 36-17.

The Super Bowl is about two weeks away, but, already, there are predictions for a close game.

The Patriots unsurprisingly landed a spot in the champi­ onship game, but the Falcons are a team who have shown they deserve to be in the final.

Although the game will likely be close, the Patriots stillremain the favorite.

The Patriots win over the Steelers was clear early on in the game. Early into the 1st, Tom Brady threw a pass to wide receiver, Julian Edelman, who had a solid run to the 23-yard line. Ultimately, the Patriots put a field goal on the board to start offthe game. Near the end of the first, Brady threw with plenty of time to Chris

London teams top Premier League after g a m e w e e k South and North London clubs Arsenal and Chelsea take top spots following weekend contest outcomes Fononyamba Nunghe S p o r t s C o -Editor

This week, Londoners rejoice as Chelsea and Arsenal hold down the first and second positions in the premier league, respectively.

Arsenal, a team notoriously known for being Kings of the fourth, find themselves chasing Chelsea, with eight points behind them in second place on the Premier League table.

The Gunners faced offagainst a resilient Burnley F.C side.

Coming into the game, Arsenal tried to bolster themselves defensively with the presence of star defenders like Laurent Koscielny and Shkodran Mustafi. The first goal came in the first half, from a Mezut Ozil cross from a corner kick.Mustafi

ran to the near post and headed the ball into the back of the net.

This marked the German center back’s first goal for the club, after completing a transfer to the gunner side last summer.

Controversy came when Arsenal midfielder, Granit Xhaka, was sent off for an aggressive foul. Being the fourth time he has been asked to leave the pitch on a red card this season, the gunners were then down a man and trying to hold onto a one goal lead.

Burnley equalized and made the game leveled in the second half and the gunners came back with determination to grab all three points from the fixture.

Alexis Sanchez had the chance to ensure this when Koscielny was taken down, which resulted in an Arsenal

penalty. In true Alexis fashion, he stepped up to itand executed a beautiful panelka. Arsenal, due to liverpool’s loss, now is second on the table going into game week 23. They play Watford F.C next at the Emirates stadium.

Chelsea continued their fine form, securing three points, two goals and a clean sheet against Hull City F.C in the weekend game at Stanford Bridge. Antonio Conte’s squad impressed the gaffer as Diego Costa returned from his minor injury.

O n his 100th club appearance,

star-striker Costa scored the opener opened the scoring with a brilliant assist from Victor Moses. The Nigerian left wing back played a great pass into the box, where Costa linked up to and struck itinto the back of the net.

Cesc Fabregas came off the bench later in the game and got himself on the assist sheet.

The Spanish maestro seems to have grown to embrace his role, being the spark off the bench.

He crossed the ball into the box, where Skipper and star center back Gary Cahill got his head

to the ball and directed it into the net. Chelsea goes up against Liverpool next, as they hope to secure all three points from Jurgen Klopp’s team.
