Wagner has worked globally for magazines and Fortunes 500 corporations in portraiture, news and stories covering people and events ranging from factories to A-list celebrities, from in-depth reportage of subcultures to breaking news events.

Currently, based in West Michigan, he was in Tokyo, Japan for more than 10 years and London, England, for more than five years, and has done assignments in more than 35 countries.

Through displaying different aspects of the country, Wagner wanted to send the important message of getting all the facts for any situation.

Tom Wagner, the artist behind the thought-provoking photographs, is a Hope College alumnus and an award winning editorial photographer.

Wagner is displaying a set of 40 photographs from four trips to North Korea during the mid-1990s and early 2000s. The work presents North Korea as a place of looking, of guessing, of watching and of begin watched.

During his artist’s talk, he had the group gather in the gallery instead ofspeaking in the auditorium saying, “The work is what this is all about.” Wagner’s love for his art was especially illustrated as he explained the pictureswere chosen from boxes of about 4000 total photographs.

Hope College's Arts and Humanities Division’s symposium for this spring took place Friday in Graves Hall, Winants Auditorium.

The theme of this semester’s symposium explored “The Idea of a Christ-Centered College.”

Professor Timothy Larsen of Wheaton College was the key­ note speaker in the discussion.

Larsen shares that his “research tends to explore theological and intellectual ideas as they were appropriated and wrestled with in specific cultural, social and historical contexts.”

The event began at 1 p.m. with a welcome from Dr. Marc Baer, Interim Dean for the Arts and Humanities and Professor emeritus of history at Hope.

At 1:15 p.m., Dr. Larsen, who is the McManis Professor of Christian Thought at Wheaton and director of Wheaton’s Faith and Learning Program, delivered his lecture, “John Henry Newman’s 'The Idea of a University’ and Christian

Colleges in the Twenty-First Century.” The student convener was Natalie Brown.

At 2 p.m., Dr. Ernest Cole, associate professor of English and department chair at Hope, presented “The Idea of a Christian Community: A ChristCentered Education from a PostColonial Perspective.” Gene Ryan was the student convener At 2:30 p.m., Angela Yetzke, assistant professor of Dance at Hope, presented “The Identity of Dance in a Christ-Centered College.” The presentation featured student dancer Mica Carson, and the student convener was Isabel Bustamante.

At 3 p.m., Hope President Dr. John C. Knapp, who also holds appointments as a professor of Religion and professor of Management atHope, presented “Reflections on the Faith-Based Liberal Arts Experience” with student convener was Ivan Akansiima.

The symposium was concluded with a question-andanswer session.

The purpose of the symposium is to bring

South China Sea: U S w o e s and worries Jack Wolff G uest W

riter

It is easy these days to focus on internal issues in America, or, iflooking outward, focusing on U.S. relationswith Russia and the mounting tensions there.

Yet, the world is much bigger, and Americas relationship with much of the world is changing.

The most important among these changes is America’s relationship with China.

Relations with China have been brought into the spotlight recently via the United States Navy deploying the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson, along with itsaccompanying destroyer, to conduct “routine” patrols in the highly disputed South China Sea. While naval operations around the area are no new event, the location, timing and sheer military presence that moving a carrier into what China considers its sovereign waters was no small implication.

Most importantly, this move is indicative of the changing relationship between China and the U.S. In order to understand these changes, it is important to first put modern relations into historical context and to understand what the relationship has been in the

past. This story begins with Mao Zedong and the creation of the People’s Republic of China, which the U.S. did not recognize for a long time. They instead recognized the government that was defeated in China’s civil war and reduced to Taiwan.

Tensions ran deep between the US., a then very anti-communist country, and the communist People's Republic of China, These tensions reached a head when U.S. troops pushed past the Korean-Chinese Border during the twilight of the Korean War, despite repeated Chinese warnings not to. What resulted was a Chinese counter­ attack that pushed battered U.S. and South Korean forces into a full retreat. Battles do not for amicable relations make. Thus, after that clash, there were no official relations at all, and although war on China was never officially declared, it may as well have been.

After violent hostility between China and the U.S. died down, tensions escalated again during the Vietnam War, as China supported the communist regime there, both fiscally and militarily. Essentially, from 1949 to 1970 there was official and in some cases violent animosity between the U.S. and China.

Indeed, both governments considered war multiple times and even nuclear war, according to recently unclassified documents from the time.

Luckily, both considered the threat of nuclear war not worth the risk. Yet, for two countries to even consider nuclear options should highlight the depth of animosity between China and the U.S. for that period of time.

In both countries the public wa§ encouraged to follow the official narrative of their respective countries, with anti-US. sentiments reigning supreme inChinese propaganda, and the same being partly true of the U.S., who was busy splitting its time between Russia and China. In the late 60’s however, things were looking up. With the end of the Vietnam War, China felt less threatened by U.S. expansion in Asia and switched their focus to Russia’s growing influence and expansionism.

Thus the door was opened to better relations.

Indeed, until the mid-tolate 90s, relations remained relatively cordial, both states settling into a mild rivalry after the Vietnam War. Yet, conflict between the People’s Republic of Ch^na and the Republic of China"r(a

complicated issuethatistoolarge to unpack here), that also ended up engaging the U.S. military led to more conflict, reversing some of the leeway made in the previous years. Tensions would then rise and fallin the following years, but continued American involvement in Taiwan and Tibet has left China wary of the U.S. In many instances, China has even stated they feel that the U.S. is trying to undermine its sovereignty and warned against it. Whether America is or isn’t trying to undermine Chinese authorityin the East, which wouldn’t be either unwarranted or out of character, the reality is recent relations with China have been rocky. While both are deeply intertwined economically, they differ greatly culturally and idealistically. Combined with an increasing Chinese agenda of expansion into the South China Sea and increasing American intervention and hardline policy with China, you have the perfect storm for conflict.

President Donald Trump, who has already taken a hardline stance on China, and will be more aggressive in recognizing Taiwan, risks further antagonizing China, who already

is unhappy with the U.S. This most recent Naval poke has led China to literallywarn America, “China respects and upholds the freedom of navigation and overflight in the South China Sea, which countries enjoy under international law, but firmly opposes any country’s attempt to undermine China’s sovereignty and security in the name of the freedom of navigation and overflight,” said China's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Gang Zhuang according to CNN. Moving forward, it is important to understand that China has not shied away from military action in the past, and although tensions are nowhere near as high as they have been, the increased presence of U.S. military power will certainly not deescalate a wary and defensive China.

China is, however, part of an unfortunate trend. At the end of the day, America’s relationships with the great powers of the East are deteriorating.

Whatever becomes of these new developments, it is clear that our relationship with China in particular is taking a turn, and it will be important to monitor what happens as tensions perhaps come to a head.

M A D IN MANHATTAN — Dreams are crushed when over 200 applicants were misinformed on their acceptances to Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health.

Mellon University that accepted 800 applicants to their graduate computer science program.

S U N Y University Buffalo sent out false acceptances to 5,000 students informing approval for financial aid, but later, students received a second email explaining the bad, truthful news. But possibly the biggest mistake occurred in 2009 that involved University of California, San Diego, sending out acceptance letters to everyone who applied, all46,000 students, and even the 28,000 applicants who were intended to be rejected.

While Columbia appears

to have its turn in this mistake of miscommunication, this university was not the first and will definitely not be the last to deliver the follow-up awkward news.

Since technology will always be the future of communication, glitches are sure to happen, especially when organizing and analyzing large quantities of applicants.

So was Columbia’s mishap a disaster? Yes. But can they make everyone happy afterwards?

Unfortunately no, since this prestigious university can only hold space for those who are truly qualified for such rigorous graduate programs.

Holland rocks with Twin Peaks Annah Duffey A rts C o -editor

The Park Theatre was packed last Friday night as students and community members waited to experience a livelyand unforget­ table concert. The theatre, lo­ cated at 248 South River Ave., is close to Hope College’s campus, across from Centennial Park.

Although a small venue, after the doors opened at 7:30 p.m. and the minutes inched closer to 8 p.m., the small, dingy room filled to the brim with expectant concert-goers.

Post Animal was the opener for the main act, Twin Peaks.

They played a set that was full of heavy rock songs with emphasis on drum and guitar solos. With hair flipping, a loud thumping of the bass through the speakers and rough vocals, they fulfilled the rock style. After their set had finished, they left the crowd more energized for the main act and eager to hear more music.

Twin Peaks, who has been on posters across campus for a month, iscomprised of five guys from Chicago, who bring the rock and roll sound of the 80s back to the music scene. Their band iscomposed ofdrums, gui­ tars, bass and piano, layered by impassioned and smooth vocal melodies.

Before going onstage, the guys of Twin Peaks encouraged the audience to head-bang to the music and have fun with the show. This was hardly necessary, because when they proceeded to walk onstage after sound check and the first tune flooded the venue, the crowd grew ecstatic and immersed in the music.

Each member is highly energet­ ic and passionate about the art they create, which was evident throughout the concert. From spitting water to crowd surfing, the band maintained a talented yet mischievous edge that kept fans excited throughout the night.

Many of the songs played were from “Down in Heaven,” the band’s latest album from 2016. Some of the songs fea­ tured were hits like “Walk to the One You Love” and “Making Breakfast.” Among others, these songs exemplify the love themes prevalent in their music mixed with nostalgia of past events and relationships. The mostly upbeat tunes meshed with heartbroken lyrics give Twin Peaks a certain unique charm of having fun, while singing through the pain in life.

Most of the crowd danced the entire time while Twin Peaks played their set. The guys effec­ tively kept the energy up and made the Friday night m e m o ­ rable. Students seemed to ap­ preciate the combination of the classic rock-and-roll sound with the calm, charismatic at­ titudes of present-day bands.

Bands that come to Hope tend to be strictly Christian music or folk, indie bands, so the fact that this concert brought in more di­ verse sounds and lifestyles than students are accustomed to was beneficial. The Concert Series strives not only to bring in bands Hope isfamiliar with but tries to expand the musicians and views to encompass people of alltypes.

Six Hope College musicians were featured at the Hope Col­ lege Symphony Orchestra’s 45th Annual Concerto-Aria Con­ cert on Saturday, Feb. 18. The concert was held in the concert hall of the Jack H. Miller build­ ing and was also live-streamed online. Soloists included Madalyn Navis (T7) on violin, Stanna Dorn (’17) on piccolo, Hil­ ary Hunsberger (’17) on soprano saxaphone, Mark Cunningham (T7) on piano, Sarah Krisch (’18) and Macauley Weiland on voice (18).

Conductor Christopher H. Fashun explained to audiences why he finds the particular con­ cert to be a "rewarding process” for both students and professors, saying, “It gives our students an opportunity to perform with the orchestra.”

Student soloists worked hard to achieve this. “The audition process involves a memorized performance of the concerto

you are auditioning with for a panel of judges,” Dorn said. “It is done with piano accompani­ ment. Students typically start learning their concerto well in advance to the auditions. The auditions are held towards the end of the fallsemester. I started work on my concerto at the end of the spring semester last year for the auditions in the fall.”

Dorn, who performed “Con­ certo for Piccolo and Chamber Orchestra” by Bruce Broughton, described that professors work closely with students to help them pick their pieces. “I asked Dr. Southard, my flute profes­ sor, what he thought, and his response was T have one you should do!'” Dorn said. “W e de­ cided that I should audition on the second movement of the concerto I performed because it showcases the lyrical, expressive capabilities of the piccolo."

Professors also helped the student soloists prepare their pieces as well. “Sarah and Iprac­ ticed together weekly with our instructor Linda Dykstra and our accompanist Janice Faber,”

vocalist Wieland said. She and Krisch performed “Soul le dome epais”, which is also known as “The Flower Duet”, by Leo De­ libes. “Julia Randal came in to teach us French at one point,” Wieland said. “Once we knew we had the show, it was a lot of fine-tuning.”

This preparation took hours of practice for each student.

“The biggest obstacle, in my opinion, is the memorization,” Dorn said. “I look for patterns in the music and try to stitch them together through a story in order to create a road map in­ side my head for the memorized performance, and that definitely takes time.”

Also, soloists had to push through nerves during their live performance. “M y legs shook the whole time,” Wieland said.

“I was convinced the whole au­ dience could see them moving despite the long skirt."

However, she explained that despite the anxiety, the experi­ ence was one she would remem­ ber: “I was thinking and feeling a million things but really itwas

mostly incredible. Perform­ ing with an orchestra feels like crowd surfing - you just float on top while the people with in­ struments behind you bear your weight. What an honor it is to perform as a team with so many fantastic musicians.”

Dorn also expressed how Hope’s music department has impacted her as a musician and student. “Hope's music depart­ ment has provided me with a great deal of opportunities to perform as a soloist, for which I am extremely grateful,” she said. “What I love about Hope College and the music depart­ ment we have here is that I have been to pursue my love of music while simultaneously pursuing a chemistry degree, and that is possible because Hope College is a liberal arts college and the music department isso support­ ive.”

They don’t rhyme well with many things, but they are on sale. In the state of an inbetween cold or simply as a preventative measure, it’s good to stock up on healthy choices in any way that you can. Your easiest bet is Vitamin C because it’s cheap and, although oranges are not proven to help reduce/repel sickness, they are a good snack or breakfast to keep you going throughout the day.

8" SUB SANDWICHES T e a is your w a r m friend

I a m not one to sit down with a cup of tea, but I make an exception throughout this time of year. I know that certain teas are best for certain symptoms—such as ginger tea that soothes your stomach-but any purchase of tea bags is an es­ sential for flu season. I personally cannot stand the taste of most tea, so I buy the fruit-based teas and accompany them with lemon, honey and even orange slices to soothe m y throat. If you can’t find any, simply drink water, lemon and honey.

I don’t know how many times I’ve been in a situation where— out of the blue— I find the need to cough or sneeze in a matter which someone would not like to shake m y hand afterward. Snot is not becoming, ladies and gentlemen. So, rather than sneeze (or perform the ever-so-charming nose-drip) onto your environ­ ment, use a freaking tissue. Stuff some toilet paper in your backpack, buy some Kleenex-do what you need to do. Hand sanitizer or washing your hands as an afterward to blowing your nose is also a plus.

The best way for us to all survive this dreadful season isto simply know our boundar­ ies. A majority of us are likely already carriers, but there’s no need to push it.Staying home when you know you're sick is best in most situations. Ifyou have to skip a class, so be it.It’s better to rest than to push yourself and be sick longer. Professors are hu­ man too and often understand ifyou give them a littleheads-up. Ifyou know someone who is sick in your class, be a helpful person and send pictures of your notes or text them some updates. You can save a lifeby just sending a quick e-mail some times.

Germs tend to linger (or so my mother believes). Be a good roommate or housemate and take care ofyour friend by opening windows and cleaning up ifthey are sick so that germs don’tstay in the same place forever. Doing your dishes, vacu­ uming and cleaning the bathroom with bleach can save the spread ofgerms and prevent worse ones from growing. Plus, we've allbeen sick before and ithelps when you're in a fresh environment to fight Seeking todojustice,love mercy, and walk humbly with God offdisease. Good luck!

FAST BREAKS AND STRONG DRIVES — Allison Hedrick (‘17) rushes up the court on a fast break as the women battle it out with Trine. Harrison Blackledge (’17) goes in for two in the men’s game against Calvin.

H o p e basketball takes losses M e n ’s and women's teams suffer big defeats this past Saturday on h o m e ground Isabel Bustamante The men’s basketball team faced their biggest rivalry this past Saturday in a back-andforth game. The Calvin Knights edged out the Dutchmen by three-points in overtime.

Leaders for Hope included Harrison Blackledge (’17) with 17 points, Cody Stuive (T7) with 10 rebounds and Dante Hawkins (T8) with four assists. The Knights led in field goal percentage, rebounds and assists. Hope was ranked 16 going into the game.

The Dutchmen were hoping

season, but Calvin stopped their chances in the 165th rivalry game. After regulation play, the score was tied 60-60 forcing overtime play where a dunk and a pair of free throws gave the nights a 65-62 lead with 18 seconds lefton the clock. Despite a good effort by the Dutchmen, Calvin took 20 offensive rebounds and capitalized more on second chances. However, the Dutchmen made seven of 12 free throws whereas the Knights only capitalized on six of 15.

There were 21 lead changes throughout the game, and fans from both sides were given a

lead of the game was only a slim seven-point difference when Calvin had a 41-34 lead over Hope at the 14:46 mark in the second half. However, the Dutchmen had a set ofstops and brought the score up to 43-43 by the 11:40 mark only letting in a layup by Michael Welch of the Knights. The Dutchmen will host Alma this Friday, Feb. 24 at 7:30 p.m.

O n the women’s side of things, the Lady Dutch took on Trine University this past Saturday and also took a 70-53 defeat. The Tigers held a solid free throw percentage of 94.7

to go 14-0 m the MIAA regular

well-played game, m e largest

making 18 ot their 19 attempts.

However, Hope led in rebounds, assists, points off of turnovers and second chance points.

Leaders of the game for Hope included Francesca Buchanan (’19) with 20 points and Angelique Gaddy (’17) with three assists. It was a surprising defeat for the Dutchmen who had dominated over Trine University for over 25 years.

Trine took the regular-season championship titlein the MIAA. Hope will now be the second seed going into the M I A A tournament and will play thirdseeded, and rival, Calvin College this Friday at 5:30 p.m.

The 2016-2017 season has been exciting, but I am already looking forward to the 20172018 year. The old starswillleave and be replaced by fresh, new faces ready to make an impact.

Say goodbye to studs like Frank Mason of Kansas, Josh Hart and Kris Jenkins of Villanova, Emil JeffersonofDuke and many others. However, we will say hello to players such as Gary Trent of Duke, Michael Porter Jr. of Washington and Deandre Ayton of Arizona.

Keep in mind though, that these studs might only be around for a year or two. People sometimes forget that there are

more than just freshmen that are having an impact in the basketball landscape.

There is a reason a couple of seniors that are listed above remind us that the freshmen are still too young to really know the game well. Josh Hart is one name that comes to mind, with his cerebral approach to the game.

He does not have the flashy moves or the rim rattling dunks some have, but he just knows where to be and how to play the game the right way. Watch out for him and Villanova in March.

N o w let'stalk about the trend of one-and-done players. Iknow that a lot of individuals do not agree with this loophole, but the fact of the manner is that there is very little that can be done to

change it.

Players should have the freedom to make that decision in the transition from high school to coUege, even if it is after one year. Some players are in compromising financial situations, so the promise of being drafted brings along with it benefits, which include homes, cars and to many the most important thing, money.

When deciding whether to stay and earn a college degree or earn millions of dollars, some choose the second option. The debate is whether one-anddones are hurting the college game because with this rule, coaches have to be over prepared in terms of filling their rosters.

Losing players that they did not expect to lose impacts the coaches ability to adequately fill their rosters for the next season.

Moreover, the process that it takes for the transition from college to the pros takes away from time to relate to the next season. At the same time, those players that are talented jump to the next level and are benefited from being able to jump to the next level.

Ifwe want to continue to see a high level of play, then we are just going to have to accept the presence of one and dones on the rosters of teams. One thing is for certain: talent always seems to entertain the crowds.

The level of talent in today's

college basketball is off the charts, but more importantly, the talent among the teams has begun to even out. The scape isa more level playing field. Despite this, the blue bloods have reigned supreme in 2016-2017 like Kansas, North Carolina, Duke and Kentucky (let’s leave Michigan State out because they are not having a good season by anyone’s imagination).

Even as they continue to lead the way, other top tier programs like Oregon and Virginia are playing well and the reason why College Basketball will be made in March.

Basketball is entertainment; it can bring people together.

Once March rolls around, people will be fixed to their T V screens, cheering for their team or teams, and when that day in April is finally realized, all of these months of hard work will finally come together for the ultimate goal: a N C A A title.

‘BOOGIE’A N D ‘THE B R O W ’ Anthony Davis probably had the best night of the All Star Sunday game after notching a 52 point game and taking the All Star game M V P award. Af­ terwards Coach K talked about his All N B A Kentucky team destroying the league. As of last night, the N e w Orleans Pelicans acquired Demarcus “Boogie” Cousins. The team, which host­ ed this year’s All Star weekend reportedly traded rookie. Guard Buddy Hield, forward Tyreke Evans and future picks for Boo­ gie who would be a free agent this summer. With the Pelicans being 2.5 games away from the eighth seed, a Pelicans and War­ riors match up may be in place for the firstround in the 2017 N B A playoffs. The partnership of Davis and Cousins may be one of the league’s most lethal one-two punches.
