It is no big secret that p a r k i n g can b e a nightm a r e on c a m p u s . H o w e v e r , this p r o b l e m extends b e y o n d the c o n c e r n s of students a n d a f f e c t s faculty, staff and e v e n m e m b e r s of the community.

As of D e c e m b e r , Public Safety had issued 3 3 9 m o r e p a r k i n g tickets than it h a d by that t i m e the p r e v i o u s year. A l t h o u g h the n u m b e r of tickets are s k y - r o c k e t i n g , the n u m b e r of students receiving tickets is n o t necessarily on the rise.

T h e m a j o r i t y of t h e s e tickets are being issued d u r i n g the day to n o n - r e g i s t e r e d vehicles, said D u a n e Terpstra, Director of Public Safety. " M a n y visitors p a r k in faculty and staff lots

during meetings and conferences. I would speculate that these are the cars being ticketed," T e r p s t r a said.

O f t e n , H o p e will not receive any revenue f r o m tickets issued to n o n - r e g i s t e r e d vehicles. " W e really do not have any authority over nonstudents. W e h a v e no w a y to be sure that the ticket is p a i d , " Terpstra said.

T h e H a w o r t h C e n t e r has also c a u s e d a n e w onset of c o m p l i c a t i o n s . . " L u b b e r s has b e e n hit hard by H a w o r t h , " said P r o f e s s o r Janet Everts of the religion d e p a r t m e n t , w h o f i n d s it nearly i m p o s s i b l e to locate a spot since the o p e n i n g of the c o n f e r e n c e c e n t e r in January.

"It has hurt o u r b u s i n e s s , a n d c u s t o m e r s are f o r c e d to u s e o t h e r b r a n c h e s , " said P a t t y C o m p a g n e r , N B D B r a n c h Assistant.

S o l v i n g this p r o b l e m is n o t easy. Everts suggests assigning lots to f a c u l t y m e m b e r s a n d d e s ignating m o r e s p a c e s in o n e lot f o r visitors only. " A s a f a c u l t y m e m b e r , I w o u l d like a g u a r a n teed spot e v e n if it is not the m o s t c o n v e n i e n t o n e , " Everts said.

O N " T H E C A T W A L K : The fashion show "Design of a New Age" took place last Saturday afternoon in Maas Auditorium as part of the College's Black History Month activities. Students from Hope College, West Ottawa High School and Holland High School modeled formal, casual and sports clothing contributed by local shops, including Sears, Franchise Player and the Tux Shop. It was a chance to do something different," said Jacqueline Willaims ('00), the event coordinator. As Black History Month winds down, the "Black Director Series" movies continue each Wednesday in the Kletz at 9:30 p.m., with GospelFest '97 taking place this Saturday in Dimnent Chapel at 6:30 p.m.

College shells out big bucks for North, shirks diversity D e a r Editor, Over the past four years. 1, and many others, have strived to bring to campus a more culturally diverse population of speakers, programs, events, students, faculty, and staff. For four years. I have heard the commitment of the administration to the importance of diversity on campus. Unfortunately, words are not strong enough.

Recently, upon the urging of the administration. Student Congress was asked to go in search of a speaker as a way to once again attempt a speaker series on campus. On February 6. James Malinchak came to campus to bring us his words of motivation. I thought his words were insightful and appreciated the efforts of Congress in bringing him here. I also know that Congress has further plans for yet another speaker. From what 1 am told by members of Congress. Oliver North is coming to campus in April. It seems Congress wanted a more well-known speaker and have been granted the money to bring him here. It is also apparent that a representative of Ollie's office is a friend of a friend to one of the Board of Trustees members. I should also mention that this person is costing you $10,000!!

Back to my original point. The administration gave Congress money, lots of money. Our money. At no point did I ever read about members of Congress wanting our input for a speaker. Nor have I ever heard the administration approach any other organization on campus and offer such large amounts of money. In fact, last year Student Congress cabinet members (which includes myself) were approached by Theo Robert, the president of Black Coalition (B.C.). He wanted us to grant him an ad-hoc request for his organization that exceeded the total amount of money appropriated to all student organizations! Knowing this was an impossible request, we denied Theo. As I look back on that experience. I realize the importance of what Theo wanted: more programming, events, and field trips for African-American students and really anyone else on campus. I know for a fact that members of the Hope College staff were also approached by Theo for this money. Not once did they offer

him enough money for a speaker or even a B.C. field trip. When a speaker pleases the masses (or the Board of Trustees) then they will do anything.

But when funding is focused on a small group, but is beneficial for everyone, the money somehow is not there. Is this discrimination? Probably. Is this a poor choice of priorities? Most definitely.

I have had many opportunities to work with staff and administration members through numerous committees and workshops. Last fall, I participated in the 2020 Vision conference.

One of the unofficial outcomes of this conference, as stated in the President's Winter 1997 Campus Update, was to strengthen diversity on campus. On the back page of the update, a list of items he sees as a part of progress and change are listed. While media and technology are mentioned often, diversity is nowhere to be found. Last fall, the technology storm hit campus because the administration and students made it a priority. The amount of money and effort put into the project was quite extensive. I am sure. It strikes me as odd that I have often been told that diversity is a priority, and yet it goes no further than talk.

I should point out that Hope College has made a great step in hiring Courtney P e n n as the n e w D i r e c t o r of Multicultural Life. With less than a year under his belt. Courtney has already d o n e great t h i n g s to i m p r o v e multicultural life on campus. However.

Courtney is one person. Regardless of budgets. Courtney can only do so much.

I think he has unfortunately become the campus scapegoat. Throw the responsibility and wide range of problems on him and if he fails, it is his fault. If he succeeds, then the administration can take credit for hiring him. I am sorry Courtney has been subjected to this.

The only hope we have left with the issues of diversity are through you. the student body and faculty. If we all make it a priority, then we can only be ignored so long. Many of you consider yourselves Christians, as does this institution. Do you talk of being a Christian or is it important for you to show this by example or practice? It seems to me that most of you try to show it and practice it. I ask you then, as a Christian, is

There has been a lot of "passing the buck" in regards to what happened with a proposal that would put hand dryers and soap dispensers in the residence halls on this campus and I think everyone has the right to know exactly what has happened to date. The article that was written about this issue was very well done but left out some crucial facts.

Fact: During the '94-'95 school year Student Congress sent a poorly written proposal to the Residential Life Committee asking for paper towel and soap in the residence halls. This proposal was reviewed by the Res. Life Committee and sent back to Congress because it was poorly written and lacked information as to the costs of doing things.

Fact: In February of 1996 Dana Marolt ('99) brought a Constituency Concern card back to Congress from a student in her district. It stated that the student thought it was unhealthy not to have soap dispensers and hand dryers in the Residence Halls. Dana asked what could be done about this and Jeremy Van Ek ('96) told her that a proposal had gone to Res. Life the year before and was sent back.

Fact: The Social Environment task group, of which myself and Marolt are members, made this proposal its last mission for the semester and got all the information necessary to properly write the proposal for Congress.

it not important to treat people equally and appreciate what all God's creatures have to offer society? I think you would say yes. So then, shouldn't you show by e x a m p l e how people should be treated? 1 challenge you to stop by the offices of Dean Frost, Courtney Penn. or even the President and demand they listen to what you have to say. Let them know how important it is for you to have culturally diverse programs, students, and faculty on campus. Let them know that because of the Christian nature of this institution, it is only right that they increase the level of diversity so that we can all experience the true joys of all people around us.

This summer, I will be graduating from this college and entering the real world. A world of diverse people. It is unfortunate that I had to look so hard to find something so wonderful and so much a part of life while I was on this campus. Hope College has far too often addressed minority students that are here only as some sort of icon or cultural representation that is here only to help white students be prepared for the real world. Too often this institution does not see all students as important simply out of their love and commitment to all people, regardless of race or ethnicity.

I end this letter with a challenge to all people who have a genuine interest in the importance of cultural diversity and any other people who do not see this but do see themselves as Christians to make cultural diversity on our campus a priority. A priority that demands action. Start making phone calls, knocking on doors, and writing letters. I know that sounds like a cheesy "Rock the Vote" type^ message, but it-is-the only way the people with power and money will listen to us.

For those of you who enjoy what very little Oliver North has to offer. I hope you enjoy his speech. I know I will not be at this event and I challenge the rest of you to do the same. Better yet. go to the next Congress meeting (Wednesday nights at 8:00) and let them know how you feel. After all. it is YOUR money they are spending.

not Congress' fault

Fact: The proposal that was finally passed by Congress and sent to the Res. Life Committee had a detailed list of prices for both the units and installation. The proposal also had concrete evidence given to us by doctors in the Holland and Zeeland areas that specifically stated that it would be impossible for bacteria to thrive inside the hand dryers because of the intense heat emitted by the hand dryer itself.

Fact: The proposal has not been seen by myself or anyone in Congress since.

Now I read in The Anchor that the Res. Life Committee stated that they sent the proposal back to Congress "for further research into the possible health risks of bacteria growth in hand dryers and the cost of installing the dispensers and dryers into the hall bathrooms." I would like to first know how much more evidence they would like to see in regards to the plausibility of bacteria growth in hand dryers. Isn't the testimony of three doctors enough? As per costs of installing the hand dryers and soap dispensers, all this information was in the proposal. The manager of the healing air conditioning company Commercial Refrigeration that Hope uses sat down with me and told me exactly how much the hand dryer units would cost and the installation costs associated with them. The end product had all this information in it because we were told by people on the Res. Life Committee that these elements would be crucial to

the passing of the proposal.

The other problem I have is that no one on Congress has seen the proposal since it left us last April. The former president has told me that she never received the proposal back from the Res. Life Committee after they got it last April and current president Ryan Cook has not seen this proposal since it left Congress last year either. It's almost as if the proposal doesn't exist anymore.

I ' m not putting all the blame on the Res. Life Committee because I know they have a lot of proposals that go through them each year and they can't be expected to remember every one of them. I am also placing some of the blame on Congress for not keeping a hard copy of said proposal. This letter is being written with the hopes that the Res. Life Committee and Student Congress will get together and sort this ordeal out because if they don't the students will suffer and that is not what we are here for. I also hope that this will serve as a lesson and that in the future things will be done in a more efficient manner. Instead of "passing the buck" Congress and the Committees can work together tofixproblems as they come instead of "talking about fixing them."

Let's join together and reassure the students that the governing the students that the governing system of this college is working for them and not against them, or each other for that matter.

"We are passing the cost on."

Increased prices and increased salaries for staff are also among the reasons for the rise in tuition. ' T h e tuition price is labor intensive," Anderson said. "Staff salaries were increased three and a half percent for next year. Material costs are also going up."

In addition to professor pay and the increased price of materials, other factors must be considered when thinking about college costs.

If there is a decline in enrollment, for example, the current attending students nQed to pick up that slack.

The College also utilizes its endowments and annual contributions to try to lighten the load.

"More revenue from non-student resources would impact tuition," Anderson said. "We are trying to build our endowment and we are making progress."

Another way to keep rates down would be to cut the overall costs of the College, according to Anderson, for example, by increasing the student-faculty ratio.

"We could save a lot of money if we increased the student-teacher ratio, which is now 13 to 1, but then you have to question what students are really paying for. Would students still want to come to Hope?" he said.

As for the students themselves, they are getting accustomed to the

yearly h i k e in price because it's been happening for a long time. " I ' v e been here for 30 years," Anderson said, "and there has never been a year when tuition hasn't increased."

So w h e n s t u d e n t s receive the budget report for next year in their school mail boxes they should be anything but surprised, he said.

"I d o n ' t l i k e i t . " s a i d K i m Maxson ('98). "But it's that way for all small colleges; that's just the way it goes."

But is that the way that M o m and Dad are going to see it?

"Oh, 1 haven't talked to my parents about it yet," Maxson laughed.

Robbins cited the p r e s e n c e of Bahle in the performance process as a benefit. "Jean was here a lot," she said. "Not intruding, but j u s t g i v i n g s u g g e s t i o n s . S h e is so humble and open and F m the Big Mouth. Even she doesn't pretend or profess to know all of what the play is about."

The influence of popular culture, Robbins said, is at the center of the drama.

1 T h i s play was written with the sensibilities of popular culture in mind," she said.

"And so I ' m looking forward to the college kids' reactions, because in a very real way the play was intended for them."

"Soli's Story " will be showing on Feb. 21, 22, 26-28 and Mar. I at the Old Physical Plant at 8 p.m.

amount of space it offered in comparison to other areas of the library.

The space needed will hold 20 to 24 students, two to a computer. The library staff looked to enclose other open spaces but none fit into the plans they had made.

"We are looking to make this as flexible as possible." Jensen said.

Plans call for accessibility in moving chairs and computers around to fit a classroom setting in which both professors and presenters are comfortable.

Jensen expects some noise and dust to disturb the quiet library atmosphere, but the contractor plans to work from early morning to early afternoon to combat disturbance to the traditional study atmosphere.

The computers in the lab will be IBM compatible with Internet access. Completion is still pending dependent on the selection of furniture, but the contractor is ready to eo. Jensen said.
