Jacob to attempt onair straitjacket escape

by Jon Hofman staff writer This coming Sunday at 3 p.m., disc jockey Shawn J a c o b will attempt to beat a record in two different ways at the s a m e time.

The first record he'll attempt to beat is the 1 minute 16 second personal record he holds for escaping from a straitjacket.

The second record he will try to beat is the musical record which will be simultaneously playing on Hope College's FM radio station, WTHS. Jacob, DJ for "The Bright Side", a popular Christian rock show which airs Sundays from 2 to 4 p.m., is at the center of a new promotional item for WTHS which is being billed a s an on-air straitjacket escape. "I've been trying to promote my radio show," J a c o b explained. " I ' v e made signs, and I feature weekly (Christian) denomination trivia where we enlighten listeners on other denominations/' However, that wasn't enough.

"On the application for becoming a DJ, they asked what things we'd f e a t u r e , " J a c o b continued, "and I put down magic tricks and occasional sound effects. Some of my friends and I were joking about doing card tricks on the air. One of them said, 'A straight jacket escape would be pretty funny,' and I went nuts over the idea."

The WTHS management ap^ o v e d the idea and Jacob has already begun planning for the event. It seems quite likely he will succeed.

Jacob, a sophomore at Hope College, has been a practicing escape artist and magician for four years now and has performed more than 150 shows. Over the years, he has worked his individual tricks and stunts into a show which he calls "The Magic of Christianity," a show which uses magic to illustrate scripture and Christian living. The majority of his shows have been performed in churches in Michigan, either during Sunday school or the evening service.

Although he has never performed for his radio audience before, he performed for more than 2000 high school students last March at "Genesis, M the Reformed Church youth convent i o n in D e a r b o r n ' s H y a t t Regency Hotel.

His largest show, however, was probably • T h e J a c k Sorenson M a g i c Benefit," a charity performance given on Halloween night, 1986, in E a s t Kentwood, during which 4000 dollars was raised to help cover the medical costs of an ailing, retiring janitor.

One of his more famous tricks involves swallowing seven double-edged razors followed by a wadded up two-foot length of string. He then proceeds to draw the string back out of his throat with the seven razors threaded on it. Jacob also does well-known tricks such a s the Metamorphosis, a trick where the assistant who is handcuffed, tied inside a cloth sack, and locked inside a wooden box, is mysteriously replaced by the magician

while the box remains locked.

Another illusion he performs is the Zigzag Lady, where horizontal blades a r e shoved through an upright cabinet, trisecting the assistant. The three sections of the cabinet a r e then moved out of line, to show the audience that they are indeed separate boxes, before they a r e realigned and the assistant is reassenbled.

J a c o b is e n c o u r a g i n g his listeners to come to the WTHS studio on first floor DeWitt to witness firsthand his Sunday escape attempt. He will be performing it inside the studio, however listeners will be able to watch him through the large glass window which separates the studio from the lounge.

Before he a t t e m p t s the escape, Jacob plans to cue up a short song which will play while he is struggling to get loose. " P r e f e r a b l y I want to beat the song and get back in my chair so that I can get back on the a i r , " Jacob said. If he fails to escape from the straitjacket in time, he said the station will likely broadcast " d e a d a i r " until he succeeds.

One person will be picked from the crowd of onlookers to place him in the straitjacket. "If there is anyone out there with a personal vendetta against m e , " J a c o b joked, "Now is their chance to really s t r a p m e in."

The event will be advertised around c a m p u s with signs, table tents, and a banner in the cafeteria.

Hope students' work chosen at Snowbound Writer's Contest

Local News

by Jon Hofman anchor staff writer Hope students won two first place a w a r d s and garnered a second place at the recent Snowbound Writer's Contest, one of Grand Haven's annual Winterfest activites. Seniors E. Reka J e l l e m a and Kathleen McGookey each won first place in the adult poetry and prose competitions, respectively, and freshman Michael Theune took second p l a c e in the p r o s e category.

The contest, which has several age divisions, is open to Ottawa and Allegan county residents and received 170 entries this year. I t ' offers cash prizes of $50, $25, and $15, publication of the winning pieces in The Grand Haven Tribune, as well as an opportunity to read one's work at a reception held the evening of February 7. Participants in the contest, which is sponsored by The Bookman bookstore and The Grand Haven Tribune, were allowed to enter both the poetry and the prose competitions, however, they were limited to one entry in each category None of the three Hope winners had submitted work to the cont e s t b e f o r e , a l t h o u g h both Jellema and Theune had been aware of it for some time.

However, this year a variety of things prompted them to enter their works.

"My mom brought home a clipping about the contest, so I took the poem off the computer and sent it o u t , " Jellema commented, referring to her winning emry entitled, "Us Poets Us Poets Us Suicide Poets Us Death Youth Poets."

McGookey was prompted to enter the contest by Jack Ridl, a Hope College English professor, as was Theune. Ridl's involvement in the contest this year went deeper than encouraging students to enter as he also adjudicated this y e a r ' s poetry category.

McOookey, however, had not previously won a cash prize for her work. "I thought that I'd hear something soon, one way or the other," McGookey said, "and when I finally learned (of taking first place) I was very surprised." ura.VEflte, A t e

Kathleen McGookey

Reka Jellema Her winning entry, " E v a , " a short story about a female peasant in Nuremburg, was inspired

by McGookey's personal travels in Europe during the summer of 1988. McGookey attended the Institute of European Studies, a GLCA affiliated program in Paris during the 1987-88 school year, then traveled Europe during the summer. While in Nuremburg, she observed a peasant lady and wrote about it in her diary.

"When I had to write a story for fiction class, 1 went back to my journal and found the entry," McGookey recalled. She chose to enter it in the contest because it was her favorite piece.

Jellema, who has been writing poetry since she was eight, chose "Us Poets.. Us Poets..." as her contest entry for two reasons. "I felt that il was my stroni piece out of my most re< ni work " she said, "and mv cri o felt it was the strongest as a el.

The poem is a reflection upon i ie lives and thoughts of a group of poets.

"I've always said I'd never right a poem on poets," she recalled, although now that she has she's happy she did.

Michael Theune's entry, "Answers," was written during Christmas break and in his words, "Pretty much up to deadline.

"The basis ot the story was u. my head," he explained. "!

Chapel choir to tour Soviet Union in May HOPE ~ The Hope College Chapel Choir will tour the Soviet Union from May 10-24, with stops in Moscow, Leningrad, Tallinn and Kiev.

This will be the first trip to the Soviet Union for the Chapel Choir which, in the past, has held three tours of Europe, been the guest choir for the Easterdawn services at Radio City Music Hall in New York, performed on the "Hour of P o w e r " television prog r a m and m a d e eight albums.

Definite plans for the choir's Soviet concerts are still underw a y , but P r o f e s s o r R o g e r Rietberg, director of the Chapel Choir, expects p e r f o r m a n c e s about every other day with free time in between for sightseeing.

44 I understand that in some places we'll be singing a s part of the church service," Rietberg said. "And it's likely that we'll be hearing their choirs sing also."

F r o m speaking with Hope faculty m e m b e r s who h a v e visited Russia, Rietberg expects that it will be "spiritually heartwarming to be at worship with the Soviets and to join them in singing."

"We're seeing this as an opportunity for strengthening the ties we have as Christians as well as singing some good m u s i c , " Rietberg said.

To prepare students for the culture shock they may experience, Rietberg has been compiling a reading list for the choir and also plans to have Hope faculty m e m b e r s who h a v e visited Russia speak to the choir a s t h e d e p a r t u r e d a t e approaches. "The people there have suffered tremendously," Rietberg said. "And I'm sure that there's going to be a marked difference in our relatioships with these people."

Plans for the tour started in early September, but the idea for the trip originated during the choir's tour of the E a s t Coast last year. During that tour, two choir m e m b e r s s t a y e d with P a u l Hayes, a 1978 Hope g r a d u a t e and Baptist m i n i s t e r who had previously organized four choir tours to the Soviet Union.

Hayes expressed an interest in taking another choir, and the students suggested the possibility to Rietberg, who won approval for the trip from the college's administration. Hayes and his travel agent a r e arranging the trip, and the choir will travel with a representative of InTourist, the Soviet travel agency, while in Russia.

Currently, 51 of the choir's 67 members plan to m a k e the tour.

Both individually and collectively, they a r e attempting to raise the $2,599 needed for the trip per choir m e m b e r , and some of the methods a r e unique.

In addition to its Soviet trip, the Chapel Choir will hold its annual spring tour this year, with performances in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

The Chapel Choir was founded in 1929. Its concerts consist of sacred compositions f r o m a variety of composers, styles and periods and are intended to appeal to both young and old.

C Dr. Steven Hemenway looks forward to May 26 when he and 60 students will leave for the Vienna Summer School.

Vienna program worthwhile

by Mpine Qakisa anchor staff writer

"If an individual wants to know more about the United States, one should go to another country where one is asked what it is like to be an American." stated Hope alumnue Marvin Younger.

"As a result, you become a diplomat and a spokesman for the entire nation and culture," he added.

Speaking about the Hope College Vienna Summer School prog r a m , Younger said that the experience he had in 1971 when he first went there will always be a part of his life. . "The experience one has in a foreign country always puts you on the edge. You not only become responsible for yourself, but you also become responsible for your country.

"Vienna is a jewel," Younger said. " I t is a city alive with music, art and t h e a t r e . " Laurel Housenga, who went to Vienna l a s t y e a r s a i d s h e wouldn't trade the experience she had with the program for anything.

Like o t h e r Hope College students who attended this prog r a m , Housenga lived in an a p a r t m e n t with an Austrian family.

Maggay, who is from Quezon City in the Philippines, will be a m e m b e r of the Hope faculty for the second s e m e s t e r of the 1988-89 academic year. In addition to her duties as visiting chaplain, Maggay is teaching a course in cross cultural communication.

Although Maggay has visited this country before, this is her first extended stay in the United States, and she values the opportunity to experience American c u l t u r e f i r s t - h a n d . " I think there's no substitute really for personal encounters because

those m a k e you realize the complexity of people ~ not to mention cultures," Maggay said, calling such encounters " m o r e valuable than all the technical, academic reflections we have about people. " P e r s o n - t o - p e r s o n relationships always break stereotypes.

That's why I believe in crosscultural experience," Maggay said.

Maggay explained that her belief in the value of such contact extends to her teaching at Hope.

"Basically, my agenda in my course is to get students to h a v e a sense of plurality...to be more aware of their cultural assumptions. And even theological assumptions."

She has worked extensively as a writer, editor, lecturer and instructor. Maggay has written several journalistic pieces and

She believes that the 1986 P h i l i p p i n e revolution had benefits that extend beyond the immediate ousting of the dictatorial Marcos regime. "I think what the revolution has done is create in people a sense of the possible," Maggay said. "This is the first government in our

Editorial Off-campus programs deserve more attention

\ POM T tLMOtJ ABOUT THIS".

c/W

One of the things that makes Hope College unique is its opportunity for diversity in education. For example, almost every department of the college offers at least one program for off-campus study. Even so, with the great emphasis in society today on national and international affairs, off-campus p r o g r a m s and their benefits to the student should be stressed even m o r e by the college.

^ g u street

While tuition is often approximately the s a m e in an off-campus program, it must be recognized that the cost of living is often much higher than the typical 4< on-campus M education. Cities such a s Philadelphia, Washington D.C., or Vienna obviously cost more to live in than Holland, especially when air f a r e and other travelrelated expenses a r e added.

* MAS TER-rt tSEHCTEIUM KlCtUfaMl *W45l(UUiT&N W towtfs PKogium

Even so, perhaps the reason that only a small percentage of students participate in off-campus p r o g r a m s is that the opportunities a r e not a s widely promoted a s they could be. Students should realize that off-campus study p r o g r a m s a r e not limited solely to those with international career aspirations or very high gradepoint averages. Similarly, professors should continue stressing the value of off-campus programs.

Some schools, such a s Kalamazoo College, even go so far as to m a k e off-campus p r o g r a m s a requirement for certain m a j o r s .

While this may seem a bit extreme to some, it does in fact create opportunities for the student that might not otherwise exist since offcampus p r o g r a m s a r e both encouraged and expected. This may not be feasible for Hope, but the off-campus p r o g r a m s that a r e available deserve even more attention than they a r e currently receiving.

Those professors and administrators who do actively promote offcampus study opportunities should be thanked for their diligence.

Although off-campus p r o g r a m s may not be for everyone, they a r e certainly something to be taken seriously by students and faculty alike. With the great variety of p r o g r a m s available, off-campus study is no longer something just for the elite few.

Letters to the editor Affirmative action not reverse discrimination Dear Editor, I am simply writing to address a concern I hear floating around campus. The concern is being expressed by some white men who feel discriminated against. As these men apply to g r a d u a t e schools and for positions of employment, women and other minority group m e m b e r s with equal or even slightly lower credentials a r e being considered before them because of gender or race. Therefore, they feel discriminated against. They claim not to be racist or sexist in the least. Quite to the contrary, they feel they a r e opposing discrimination. Tliey recognize the oppression of the minority groups. They would a g r e e that women a n d d i f f e r e n t r a c i a l groups have been oppressed by the systems within society. They also believe all m e m b e r s of our

themselves. They feel they have not been given equal opportunity.

The problem is that no one wants to sacrifice power and wealth to achieve the equal opportunity some so a d a m a n t l y believe our country should be based on. One only has to look a t the overwhelming uneven distribution of white m e n in positions of power and authority to see the system is not based on equality. If you a r e a white m a n , just ask yourself how h a r d you have had to work to receive the opportunity you have now? Were you oppressed by society? Do you feel you were limited by the way you were affected by your schools, your parent's positions in society, or your a c c e s s to fulfill your personal needs (food, clothing)? If so, how, and would not a person of minority status have probably been even m o r e deprived? Of course this is a

But if you have not felt limited by society it should not be difficult for you to see how others have been.

To change the system, we must not only recognize the unequal opportunity, but do something about it a s well. However, to give, you must lose. If we are go ing to s h a r e power, wealth and opportunity, we will inevitably have to lose some of our own. The change cannot be based in conjuction with the hope to accumulate more possessions and positions for ourselves. However, it must be based on our love for people and the hope of a more just society. Freedom, justice and equality a r e the three tenets this country is based on. Why not put our money where our mouth is? We also ought to remember the brilliant words of John F. Kennedy, MAsk not what your generalization based on the ex- country c a n do for you, but what isting o p p r e s s i v e s t r u c t u r e s you c a n do for your country

society should have equal opportunity. This is the reason they feel that affirmative action within society, and small porPolicies and quota systems are ti0,1S_ minority groups have . d i j e x J m i n a t o r y a g a i n s t ****** the bondage of society. Sincerely, ' Douglas J. Bixby M.

OFF THE CUFF

Writer's block

ERIC SHOTWELL I sat in front of m y computer screen, a very blank computer screen, for the better p a r t of an hour. Then I sat some more. Suddenly, I was inspired. My column for the week would be on the topic I seem to be an expert on ~ writer's block.

My dictionary defines writer's block as ''a psychological inhibition preventing 'a writer from proceeding with a p i e c e . " Somehow, that definition just doesn't do it justice. F o r me, at least, writer's block is stress, anxiety, fear and a horrible " b l a n k " feeling, all rolled into one.

I first b e c a m e familiar with writer's block in my sophomore year at Hope. It was during exam week, in fact, when m y roommate Rolfe and I stayed up for two full days and nights writing papers. E v e r y one of them sounded exactly like the other, it seemed, but a t least we were finishing them. Maybe it was the fact that we were drinking the last of our third pot of coffee, or maybe the No-Doz had finally worn off, but we suddenly found ourselves s t a r i n g blankly at

nothing in particular.

Over the course of the next several hours, we somehow m a n a g e d to f i n i s h o u r assignments, but if 1 r e m e m b e r correctly, his papers w e r e all two to three pages shorter than they were required to be, and mine had more margin than text. But the important thing w a s that they were done.

That was m y first experience with writer's block, and since then it's come back to haunt me.

However, I've discovered that there a r e a few good ways to combat or avoid writer's block: 1) Never put yourself into a situation where writer's block can occur. Take lots of dance classes, art classes and music performance classes. You m a y never graduate, but at least you won't have to write m a n y papers.

2) Blow off a little s t e a m if you're stressed. Play some table tennis, smash your calculator for fun, or throw your h a m s t e r out the window.

3) Look through papers you've written for past classes, then change the names of c h a r a c t e r s or topics. Sure, Odysseus never

Ser-ASIPB Jogs

mm ill

5) Call the professor and ask for hints, ideas or topics. Obviously, the best time to do this is not an hour before the paper is due or a f t e r midnight.

6) Drop the class. It doesn't cure the writer's block, but it sure solves the problem. Besides, if you did call the prof a f t e r midnight, you m a y have to drop the class anyway, just to save your grade point.

7) Put pressure on yourself to achieve. Say things like " I ' m not going to exhale until I decide on a paper topic."

8) Ask your r o o m m a t e for help.

Chances a r e you'll get laughed at or ignored, but then you have one more thing to heave out the window.

9) Call your parents and let out all your tension and depression on them. They won't have any ideas for your paper, but at least by the time you fail the assignment a " c a r e p a c k a g e " will already be on its way.

10) As a last resort, you could always write a " s t r e a m of consciousness p a p e r . " (You might want to light some incense first, to put you in the right f r a m e of mind.) The professor won't have a clue as to what it is that you a r e trying to say, and thus will be forced to give you at least a passing grade.

On the Write Track Procrastination or predestination?

One cannot m e a n what one iays unless one says what one means. This m a y sound like a sily word game, but let's face it: it loesn't matter how much we mow unless we communicate it and communicate it well. Sounds easy enough, right? But it's not, md herein lies the rub.

To communicate your precise m e a n i n g r e q u i r e s t h a t you choose the exact word. Knowing what "the exact w o r d " is requires that (1) you know what it means (its denotation) and (2) you know what references and feelings a r e associated with the word (its connotation). So, how do you find out what a word's denotation(s) and connotation(s) are? Simple. Look the word up. In a dictionary. That's right - a dictionary. The Oxford English Dictionary (the really big one in Van Wylen) is good for you English m a j o r types out there. Or for those of you who like to find out histories of words.

But in general most dictionaries will serve your purpose (as long as they're not those picture dictionaries - you know the ones).

Because the English language has very few, if any, exact synonyms, using the almost exa c t word b e c a u se it means almost the s a m e thing just won't work. For example, ignorant and stupid a r e two words that seem to be used interchangeably. But they don't m e a n the s a m e thing.

Ignorant is defined a s "lacking knowledge or e x p e r i e n c e ; unaware of ; " stupid is defined as " l a c k i n g n o r m a l intelligence (whatever that is); foolish; silly ; dull; boring." The idea here is to be a w a r e of the implications of the words you choose. It is not a good idea to call someone stupid if they're really just unaware, and you wouldn't want to call someone merely ignorant if you really just think they're foolish and boring. Ignorant and stupid a r e denotatively d i f f e r e n t therefore they a r e n o t . e x a c t , synonyms and should not beqsed^

as such.

When you find yourself arai< words you haven't run a< before - say, new subject ter, etc. - m a k e sure that know what the words m< before you use them in exams papers. What follows is an treme (and actual) example supposing the meaning of word: "John Calvin believed procrastination." See what mean? Maybe he did, but I don* think that this is what this dent meant to say. Predesl tion sounds m o r e like it. Using inappropriate word is not u n n e c e s s a r y a n d complel avoidable, but it usually all your meaning and in most your grade (and not a< tageously, either). If you sure - really sure - about meaning of a word, then look up

.

.

A key way to avoid using propriate words is to never use the thesaurus a s a tionary. It's e a s y to do isn't it? When you can't thi the right word, when you some variety or when you feel dinary words just aren't you turn to your friend thesaurus. It's simple.

Arts fast-paced comedy b y S a r a h j o y Thompson anchor staff writer

A scene from Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest" is destroyed by the subpoenaed actors (from left) Mark Travis, Trina Light and Kamal Perkins. MsTRIAL will also be performed at 8 p.m. this Wednesday through Saturday Tickets are available from the ticket office in DeWitt.

Broglio and Ralph work together on MsTRIAL HOLLAND - As the story unfolded, the characters developed lives of their own.

While writing the comic play "MsTRIAL/* which premiered at Hope College on Friday, Feb. 17, Hope College professors Lawrence Broglio and George Ralph found that the strength of the c h a r a c t e r s ' personalities often left them little choice in determining a scene's outcome.

"Some of the characters wanted things so badly that we were forced to give them a scene," Broglio said.

Consequently, Broglio and Ralph, both faculty m e m b e r s in the college's theatre department, became not only authors, but reporters, recording the sometimes surprising results of their characters' actions.

And perhaps that symbiotic process ~ characters and authors depending upon one another and working together - was appropriate for " M s T R I A L , " whose very outcome depends on the audience.

The play takes a good-natured look at the ages-old struggle between men and women for equality and (or) dominance. The problem is examined during a trial in which the audience sits as jury, with scenes from a variety of period p l a y s s e r v i n g a s evidence.

The scenes - selected from works by playwrights such as Aristophanes, Moliere and •i >

Shakespeare - a r e performed by an acting troupe subpoenaed for the trial. As the trial progresses, the s u b p o e n a e d c h a r a c t e r s become embroiled in the issue, and their passion for their points of view evolves into efforts to upstage, and best, the competition.

The audience will be able to decide whether or not they a r e successful. As the trial closes each evening, the audience will be asked to applaud the more convincing view -- and a surprising judgment awaits the verdict.

Furthermore, because the audience's rapport with individual performers will vary from night to night, the outcome is by no means certain to remain the same.

Although t h e c o l l e g e h a s premiered original works before, this is the first time in more than 20 years that a play written by Hope faculty will be performed at Hope. It is also the first time that Broglio and Ralph, both accomplished playwrights, have collaborated on a work.

A c c o r d i n g to Broglio and Ralph, the project originated last spring a s an effort to c r e a t e a play that would provide roles for the college's f e m a l e t h e a t r e students in a variety of historical styles. " I t happens that in very few periods in theatre history have plays been written wit) more women's parts than men > - it's almost always the oth.?r ire • ? »i

way around," Ralph said.

Bearing in mind the concept of a trial a s a context, Ralph r e s e a r c h e d and identified a master list of more than 80 scenes that seemed appropriate.

As he and Broglio built and followed the characters, the trial developed into a fast-paced lawsuit including 19 of the original 80 scenes.

In the emerging story, the trial conflict became centrally important, with the scenes developing as essential components of that conflict. "These scenes a r e not intrinsic to the f r a m e , " Broglio said. "They have to be performed and they have to be performed in the style that we think they would have been performed at the t i m e b e c a u s e they a r e e v i d e n c e -- t h e y a r e now historical evidence."

The historical scenes have been painstakingly researched so that they can be presented to the contemporary audience as they would have been performed when originally written, with the now-unusual performance styles adding humor to an alreadyhumorous play.

Many of the scenes wei selected for their humorous content, and the courtroom conflict is also conducted in a comic vein.

"They a r e in a constant battle to Drove their points." Broglio said.

"That a l k . rv- t u o . . ^ ledy because H ' w v -s will uu

"MsTrial," a fast-paced, moving comedy by Hope theater professors Lawrence Broglio and George Ralph deals with the age old question of who is superior: man or woman.

In the show, two f e m a l e lawyers a r e bringing a suit against God, accusing Him of deliberately creating women in such a demeaning manner that they a r e set up to fail in whatever they do For compensation a s well as retribution, the women demand 2400 years of superiority.

The two male lawyers argue that women like to be submissive and use their vanity, meekness, emotions and passions to control men. The male lawyers argue that God is innocent of the charges.

The setting is a lfi99 courtroom, a tribunal between the Supreme court and the Highest Court. The audience serves a s the jury.

Evidence in the trial comes in the form of scenes from ancient and modern playwrights, including Aristophanes, Congreve, E u r i p i d i d e s , Ibsen, Moliere, Plautus, Racine, Roswitha, Shakespeare, Sheridan and Wilde. Subpoenaed actors and actresses cite the excerpts from their plays a s evidence.

The theme of the show examines the role of comedy as a mirror of society. But is the mirror cracked or in s h a r d s ? By using comedy, tragedy, and a combination of the two, the lawyers plead their case. The evidence is surprisingly effective.

Throughout every scene, integrated, comic themes a r e mix•

ed, keeping the audience smiling.

At times the action was akin to chaos, but it was always entertaining.

The two women lawyers, Jennifer Lynn Martin and Amy L. Gaipa, a r e very convincing a s they present the evidence and their arguments. Chris Beasley and Timothy T, Van Bruggen portray their lawyers equally credibly while contrasting with the women's style. Beneatha (Marcine E. King) is a delight and gives the play a certain vivacity that it otherwise might lack.

The supporting cast of Maria Vaver, Trina Light, Heather Reid, Kamal Perkins, Stephen Ralph, Chip Duford and Mark Travis all slip amazingly into their different roles as they portray the c h a r a c t e r s in the different scenes as well as the roles of the subpoenaed actors and actresses. Their c o m m e n t s and characters add a wonderful comic dimension to the weighty ques tions that a r e being debated. It was a great cross-section of characters, so the play flowed smoothly.

The set of MsTrial is a delight to the eye when the lighting is added to c r e a t e the courtroom. The special effects a r e not only well timed, but give the entire show a boost of energy.

Finally the trial comes down to a set of questions: "Who is guilt y ? " "Is everyone guilty?" " Are some more guilty than o t h e r s ? " "Is there even a c r i m e or a vict i m ? " and w h e t h e r or not "Anyone is actually to b l a m e . " See the show and decide for yourself since the audience is the jury. Whoever you decide in favor of, MsTrial is a real treat.

Broglio and Ralph feel that their collaboration went well.

He has been a member of the Hope faculty since 1986, and is currently teaching courses in voice and performance style.

Ralph, participating in the production process as a writer, has written a number of short plays, including several with religious themes for churches, and acted in several Hope College productions.

The Burbs,' though stupid, is partially salvaged by Hanks Jim Monnett anchor Entertainment Editor

It is a basically good premise that has potential, but the movie never develops it. Instead the audience is served scene after predictable scene of stupid comedy. Many of the jokes a r e so telegraphed that the audience groans more than laughs. The scenes a r e loosely connected by the thin plot but could probably stand just as well a s skits on a b a d e p i s o d e of " E i g h t is Enough".

Even Tom Hanks is allowed to bomb once in a while. In his new movie 4, The Burbs" he appears to sleep walk through the story if the series of scenes can be called a story.

Another big mistake on the

part of the director is the complete wasting of his supporting cast. Bruce Dern and the other neighbor a r e such stereotypical idiots that one doesn't laugh so much at them as at how stupid they look even as they try to be funny.

Carrie Fisher is well cast as Hanks' pragmatic wife and yet never used. She just floats through the first half of the movie looking stupid.

The writing of 44 MsTRIAL" was partially supported through funds provided by the Edward D. Dimnent Faculty Development Fund and the Hope Collegial Fund. The funds helped Broglio and Ralph in their research for, and writing of, the play.

The completed play runs about two hours, and consists of two acts. The acts will be split with a 15 minute intermission.

In addition to the Feb. 17 premiere, there will be performances of 44 MsTRIAL" on Feb. 18 and 22-25. All performances will be at 8 p.m. in the DeWitt Center Main Theatre, I2th Street at Columbia Avenue.

An Audience Participation Program discussion was held in the main theatre following the Feb. 18 performance. Led by Ralph, Mrs. Jackie Donnelly, and Dr. James Cook, this session gave members of the audience a chance to respond to and ask questions about the production.

Tickets for the performances a r e a v a i l a b l e through the Theatre Ticket Office, which is open Monday-Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with extended hours on performance nights.

Tickets a r e $5 for adults, $4 for seniors and $3 for children under 12.

Dance Fifteen nears

by Julie Thornes anchor news editor â&#x20AC;˘ Tickets will go on sale Thursday, February 23, for Hope's fifteenth dance concert. Cost will be $5 for adults, $4 for senior citizens, and $3 for students.

This year, the concert will feature guest artist Sachiyo Ito, a classical Japanese dancer. The New York Times described her expertise in dance-theatre as 44 Timeless in its appeal." A reporter for The Billings Gazette said, 44To see Ito dance is to be transported across time and distance and to become a witness to centuries of precision in drama and movement."

Stephanie Brooks, a

sophomore at Hope, will provide yet another culture's dance form. Brooks studied dance in Indonesia first semester and will p e r f o r m a solo, p o r t r a y i n g another style of East Asian dance.

Sontani to perform in winners concert HOLLAND - Pianist Susanna Sontani, a special student at Hope College, has been named a winner in the Kalamazoo Bach Festival Young Artists' Competition.

She will perform at a concert featuring the seven winners on Sunday, March 5, in Stelson C h a p e l on t h e c a m p u s of Kalamazoo College.

Sontani studies piano with Joan Conway at Hope. She came

from Indonesia in 1982, attended Western Michigan, Kalamazoo C o m m u n i t y College, and graduated from Kalamazoo College. where she studied with Harry Ray and Jill Christian.

The winners were aeiecled from entrants throughout Michigan, first by a tape screening, then by live audition. Three pianists were among the winners - one from Michigan State U n i v e r s i t y , one from

Kalamazoo, and Sontani.

Hope pianists have won this competition three years in a row.

At one point in Grant's act she got the crowd up to dance in unison, performing a "step-dips l i d e " m a n u v e r on h e r "Everywhere I Go" song. It was an impressive sight.

Though it was "Grant's show," the highlights were brought by the team. Midway through her act, Grant led the crowd through an ensemble accapella " 0 Come All Ye Faithful." It was a powerful example of oraise.

Some Sugar on Me" •d). ot you who may be in exploring some of the different types of Christian music let me make some recommendations.

Besides Amy Grant (who is the top pop Christian artist on the market), Michael W.Smith could arguably be considered one of the top performers. Smith's 44 Friends," 44 Rockettown" and ,4 You're Alright" are perennial favorites on Christian play lists.

Smith does some of his best work j u s t p l a y i n g a l o n e on his keyboards and singing.

For harder rock songs, Petra and Whiteheart head the pack.

Petra is by far the most popular Christian band playing today.

Petra has been playing for nearly fifteen years and has maintained their position at the top with spiritual rock concerts that are filled with smoke, lights and hard rocking entertainment.

Whiteheart on other hand only has three albums out, but is setting the standards at concerts by

The newest kid on the Christian music scene is Christian progressive rock. The TV's lead this broad category with emotional songs like 11 a m e s Without Photographs" and "The Lust, the Flesh, the Eyes and the Pride of Life." Vector, Undercover, and the Altar Boys a r e also at the f o r e f r o n t of C h r i s t i a n progressive music.

Also on the progressive side is the strange dark world of Tonio K. which he calls 4t the lost civiliztion." In his satiric 44 True Confessions" Tonio K. sings that "It's a jungle out there - It used to be a Garden." Thought provoking music with a modern beat is the best way to describe Tonio K. There a r e so many other Christian groups that it would be impossible to list them all in a newspaper of this size, but the variety suggests that th^re is more to Christian music than just Amy Grant and Stryper.

Located on J a m e s Street between Butternut Road and U.S. U, the J a m e s Street Inn appears .0 be nothing out of the ordinary, as f a r a s r e s t a u r a n t s go.

However, driving past it on a jiven weekend evening reveals hat the parking lot is overflowng with cars. Maybe it doesn't have the reputation of som^ of he other restaurants in the Holland area, but the J a m e s Street Inn has definitely got some of the a r e a ' s best food.

The atmosphere is simple, without fancy lighting, tablecloths or candles. Even so, he food is nothing short of exellent. Service is very good also, and the prices a r e some of the owest around for what the menu rtas to offer. We found the

seafood to be the best bet, opting for either the c r a b legs or the fried shrimp.

Also, the J a m e s Street Inn has a fully-stocked bar, a dessert menu and a salad buffet with both hot and cold items. Dinners include a choice of potato and salad, or a trip to the buffet.

While it may be a bit off the beaten path, the J a m e s Street Inn is great for a change of pace In addition to dinner, they a r e also open for breakfast. The James Street Inn is open 6 a.m to 10 p.m., Monday through Saturday.

You can't seem to figure out your direction in life? You don't have your path to the top planned out quite yet? Well, that is to be expected if you a r e a freshman or a sophomore, but what do you do when you're a senior, and you still feel lost? Some undecided seniors here at Hope have joined together and formed the Union of the Lost Seniors.

Sitting in lunch at Phelps one day, Gerry Ann Fedorowicz, Amy Hoffs and Joel Tanis were discussing how they felt concerning they had nowhere to fit in and no real direction at that point.

Just realizing that they weren't alone in feeling lost was a relief.

Then, all of a sudden, the Union of the Lost Seniors (ULS) was born! They made signs and put them up around campus to see who else out there was feeling lost.

"It was a really spontaneous thing that got some attention," commented founding member Fedorowicz. Meetings of the ULS are a time when people get together and talk, sharing ideas and e x p l o r i n g d i f f e r e n t p o s s i b i l i t i e s . One m e m b e r , Lauren Walker, said that it gives you the opportunity to "find out what other people a r e thinking."

As Hoffs put it, the only criterion for joining is that you "admit to being U*t."

Members see the union as a

by Carrie Maples anchor staff writer Do you long for a peace and quiet that just can't be found in the Pine Grove? Do you want to get away from it all for a while?

Would a closer relationship with your professors make things easier? Do you want a closer relationship with God and maybe yourself? If you answered yes to these questions maybe the Oregon Extension is for you.

Nestled in the Cascade Mountains in southern Oregon is the small logging town of Lincoln.

During the fall for four months, thirty students and five professors and their families live together in a tight-knit community. The campus is made up of a library-lecture hall, a bunk house divided into three apartments and five cabins. Each of the cabins and apartments houses

four students Each of the groups is responsible for its own meals since there is no dining hall. All of the buildings a r e heated with wood and part of the student's work is to help supply that wood.

There a r e no classes on Friday afternoons so everyone can pitch in.

The Oregon Extension is accredited by Houghton College in western New York state. Class education is pretty flexible and most of the work is done individually. Fifteen credit hours are earned in three three-week segments covering a variety of subjects, two hours of "Composition and Rhetoric" and four hours of sociology or history.

The students I spoke with felt that the closeness of the community was frustrating at times but helped create some very strong friendships. During the semester students take a hiking

takes nature trip into the Cascades, spend a few days in San Francisco and a long weekend at the Oregon coast. The p r o f e s s o r s , and sometimes their families, go along and really get to know the s t u d e n t s i n d i v i d u a l l y . By Thanksgiving the students a r e ready for a long weekend that can be spent with a professor or going home.

An i m p o r t a n t t h i n g t o remember is cost. Tuition and housing is about $4,000 and no financial aid is awarded. There is also no work available (at least not work you get paid for).

Usually only juniors and seniors or graduate students a r e accepted but they do consider some sophomores. A GPA of 3.0 is required.

If you think Oregon might be the place for you, write: The Oregon Extension, 15097 Hwy 66, Ashland, OR 97520.

positive thing where they have fun, talk, and get a little support.

"It always helps to know that you're not the only person graduating in May and not knowing what you're doing," says Walker. A couple of professors, including Dr. Donald Cronkite, have attended meetings and spoken to the members.

Although some people seem to have formed the impression that the ULS is a group that gets together to drown their sorrows in drinks, this really is not the case. Hoffs explains her dilemma saying, "I don't fit into the tradition, and I'm looking for something else that is better."

Fedorowicz, too, says, "I know what I like, but I'm not sure where it fits in exactly." ULS meetings are great for trying to find that something else or attempting to find your niche in the world.

Another aspect of the ULS is that they a r e rejecting tradition.

They won't be satisfied with the norm and are, instead, looking for what is right for them. By not electing officers and by holding meetings Friday nights at 5 p.m. in A r t h u r ' s b a r , they a r e challenging convention. In fact, Fedorowicz revealed that a standing joke of theirs is, "We're avoiding structure of all kind."

What it all boils down to is that ULS members a r e not really lost, they just have a bunch of options.

The hard part .is making, the choices.

by Mpine Qakisa The three gospel choirs entertained a large crowd last Saturday at the Dimnent Memorial Chapel as part of the Black History Month activities.

"Gospel music is an aspect of black American history that embodies their expression of the spiritual worship of God," according to Chileshe Chipampata, a senior at Hope College and the concert organizer.

"We feel like we needed to show that aspect as we celebrate the Black History Month," she added.

Chipampata said that the Black History Month started as Negro Week, then Negro Month and finally February was set aside for Black History Month.

The three choirs that volunteered to perform for this

special occassion were The Abondoned Life Chorale from Holland, The Holy Trinity Choir from Muskegon and the Faith Apostolic Temple Choir from Southbend, Indiana.

The Holy Trinity Choir, under the leadership of Marsha Hoffman, took the audience with them a s they s a n g " C o m e Everybody Let's P r a i s e the Lord," and that was followed by "God Bless America" where the audience became part of the choir.

The Holy Trinity Choir was followed by Abundant Life Chorale which was directed by Reynatta McGree with J a n Gossan, the organist, and Larry Helferech the pianist.

By the time the third choir, Faith Apostolic Temple got on stage, the gospel music emotions were already sweeping through the audience.

The high point of the concert was when the director of Faith Apostolic Temple Choir, Dianne Miller performed her solo just before her choir started singing.

After the performances of the three choirs, Pastor Eddie Miller of the Faith Apostolic Temple gave a highly emotional sermon.

Stockton is so blantantly anti-Detroit Pistons, that if Hubie Brown weren't calling the games with him, you'd think the Pistons w e r e the dirtiest, meanest, cheapest and worst team in the NBA. Come on Dick, do you really think the Pistons are the only team in the NBA that throws elbows? You're from Boston, you should know better.

10 Most-Wanted

*

BILL MEENGS While looking for ideas for a column this week, I happened to notice a headline about I r a n ' s placement of a bounty on author Salman Rushdie's head over his book "Satanic Verses." I decided I liked this kind of diplomacy - I mean, what a great idea - if you don't like something put a bounty on it and send out the hit squad.

So I decided to m a k e a "10 MostWanted List" of my own. My list will be the 10 sports personalites, teams, etc. that I would like to see 4 offed'. So here it is, the "In the Crease" 10 Most-Wanted.

10. Detroit Lions-This team is pathetic. It's going to be at least five years before this team is any good and that's giving them the

benefit of the doubt. The Lions always find a way to screw up what should be a good season, and the "new attitude" bit is wearing thin. They're professionals. They shouldn't need a "new attitude".

9. Edmonton Oilers-The most overrated team in the N.F.L.; I don't think it's possible for a team to be more conceited than the Oilers.

Edmonton, even though they're stuck in third place in their division, thinks they're the best team in the league, and that they should get some sort of special treatment because of it. In reality they're just another middle-of-the-pack hockey team. They used to be the

Women's soccer to go intercollegiate in fall HOPE - Women's soccer will become an intercollegiate sport at Hope College beginning next fall, according to Dr. Anne Irwin, director of athletics for women.

Women's soccer has been a club sport at Hope for six years.

Its elevation to varsity status coincides with the decision of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) to have women's soccer become a league sport beginning next fall.

"We a r e delighted to be able to offer soccer as a varsity sport for our women," said Irwin. "Girl's soccer has become increasingly popular at the high school level so it makes sense for a college like Hope to have it a s part of the intercollegiate p r o g r a m . " Women's soccer is being offered at 143 of Michigan's 720 high schools this year, according to the Michigan Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association. Last fall women's soccer was offered by 155 NCAA Division III members.

All seven MIAA colleges will field women's soccer t e a m s next year. Adrian, Calvin and Kalamazoo colleges have established women's varsity soccer programs while Albion, Alma and Olivet will join Hope a s newcomers to intercollegiate competition. League play the first year will consist of a single round rohin tournament • T •% I » I I V f V I .t

Irwin said the college is in the process of seeking a women's soccer coach.

The addition of soccer will give Hope n i n e w o m e n ' s i n t e r collegiate sports. Offered in the fall will be cross country, field hockey, soccer and volleyball.

Winter sports a r e basketball and swimming while Softball, tennis and track a r e offered in the spring.

Next year Hope College will offer all 18 sports sponsored by the MIAA. Adrian is the only other MIAA school to sponsor all of the league's sports.

Intercollegiate sports offered men include cross country, football, golf and soccer ; basketball and swimming in the winter; and baseball, track and tennis in the spring.

Sports offered by Hope College on a club basis this year include lacrosse, water polo, sailing, u l t i m a t e f r i s b e e and m e n ' s volleyball.

A 10 m e m b e r team, the Gurus, defeated the Nads to become the supreme rulers of the Throton zones.

The action packed game is played indoors on a basketball court with rules that a r e similar to flag football. In the pool it becomes water polo. However, the space-age design of the Throton makes for a much faster game, causing a lot of excite-

ment. The tournament was a major step in enthusiastic public acceptance of the Throton and the dynamic indoor-outdoor recreation it provides. F r o m this early indication, the public is ready to embrace it. Enthusiasts claim it's the most fun since the invention of the football.

Students who haven't seen the T h r o t o n in t h e i r c o l l e g e bookstores as yet, will get their chance at spring break in Florida when Throtonics Corporation, manufacturer of the Throton, brings its new device to Daytona Beach for fun and games.

The Throton self-corrects whether thrown underhanded or overhanded. And because it's m a d e of l i g h t - w e i g h t , s o f t surgical resin, the Throton can easily be gripped and caught.

Everyone tossing it turns into an NFL quarterback, whether man or woman, young or old, athlete or not.

Utilizing the venturi principle, it travels in a perfect spiral and travels at speeds of up to 60 mph and distances exceeding 50 yards - but, because of its size and softness, it can be caught with one hand.

Once seen by Purdue adm i n i s t r a t o r s as a h a r m l e s s event, the "Nude Olympics," a winter tradition since the mid-1950s, has come increasingly under fire in recent years. " T h e r e ' r e the problems of cold-related injuries, of alcohol abuse and the problem of liability," said Purdue Director of University Relations Joseph Bennett. "Because of that, we tried to control it."

Bennett reported the "Nude

Olympics" was born sometime in the mid-50s, when a student who lived in Cary Quadrangle - a student dormitory complex enclosed by four large buildings - "ran nude on a cold night across the quad. It became an underground annual activity."

"Because the event was spontaneous and small, the university felt it couldn't do anything about it." Bennett said. "It was seen as harmless."

But by the early 1980s, Bennett continued, "it got organized," a n d t h o u s a n d s of s t u d e n t s gathered at Cary Quad to drink a n d w a t c h or p a r t i c i p a t e .

Because the potential for injury and university liability grew as the event mushroomed, Bennett said, Purdue officials were forc-

ed to control the event.

Several students completed a nude lap or two around the quad Jan. 21, Bennett said, but five others who attempted to strip and run were foiled by campus police on the scene.

One student was charged with public indecency and public intoxication, while another was charged with public intoxication and resisting arrest. Four others face disciplinary measures ranging from probation to expulsion.

Dorm r e s i d e n t s who participated in the event also face exile from student housing.

"Some consider it good clean fun, but we let it get out of hand," Bennett said. "It's not something w e ' r e p r o u d of, b u t it is something we have to deal with."
