Congress Requests Larger Voice

by Phil Tanis "As far as I'm concerned, the structure of this thing is so heavy that it doesn't let us do a darned thing without going through tons ot red tape."

So said Congressmember Dirk Weeldreyer at last week's Student Congress meeting, commenting on the committee and hierarchy set-up at Hope.

At the meeting previous to last week's, Weeldreyer advocated changing the c o m m i t t e e structures to allow for more student p a r t i c i p a t i o n . The C o n g r e s s unanimously endorsed his idea of sending a letter to the Administration asking for an increase in student representation, First Vice-president Greg Olgers reported, though, that a change in the committee structure would have to be implemented -by the Board of Trustees - who do not meet until May. He said that, anyway, a change w a s unlikely to be passed.

Olgers also repprted that he had talked to Dean of Students Lamont Dirkse. He said that Dirkse would rather s e e the present seats used more effectively than see the number expand.

The c o m m i t t e e ' s at Hope, which m e m b e r s of Student Congress serve on, are dominated by faculty and administration. A lot of the policies at Hope are initiated In these committees, policies which effect students. . Only the Media Communications Committee, which oversees the media on Hope's c a m p u s -

The letter would be sent to the Administration asking for more say on committees. It w a s passed unanimously. It reads a s follows: "As m e m b e r s of the Hope Col-

U.N. Needs Help This year's Model United Nations, the 13th Hope has sponsored, is expected to attract over 950 high school students from 40 different schools. It will be the largest Hope has ever held and the largest In Michigan. ~ ; Each year, Hope students, overseen by a political science professor, conduct the extravaganza, what some would call a miracle In management, attempting to coordinate two different General Assembly simulations, five Security Councils, and an Economic and Social CouncU (ECOSOC).

Many hours have been put into arranging rooms to conduct the simulations in, obtaining a speaker, researching and writing the problems and proposals the high school students will debate, mailing information to the high schools, etc. etc.

High school students participating in the Security Councils and ECOSOC simulation will be coming on campus Thusday, March 14, to begin their deliberations. About 250 students are in this group.

They need a place to stay Thursday night.

Each year, Hope students have given their floors to the high school students to sleep on. Sleeping bags are brought in sometime in the late afternoon. High school students will be getting to bed around 11:15. They'll rise and be gone Friday morning around 8:00.

So what's a little floor space for a night? Not much for you - but quite a bit for the high school students.

The other area where volunteers are needed Is'during the simulations on Thursday night and all day Friday.

There are a multitude of things which must be done to keep the simulations running. Votes must be counted, resolutions must be photo-copied, messages must be passed.

Without the help of Hope students, even for an hour, the Model UN will not function properly. If you can give an hour - or more of your time, or if you can contribute your floor Thursday night, please fill out the form elsewhere in this issue and turn it in immediately.

Your help is needed in this exciting project.

- That's where you come in.

Applicants will be informed that s a m e week if they h a v e been selected. .

"Faculty... a waste" To the editors: The goal of a c o l l e g e education is understanding, which ls...the ability to use a framework to analyze events, facts, theories, or other phenomenon and to derive m e a n i n g f u l deductions from them (meaningful, typically refers to that which can be applied to life). Hope College, for the most part, fulfills this goal c o m m e n d a b l e . There are on c a m p u s those who do not share this goal, h o w e v e r . While students who stray from this orientation are considered a nuisance, the faculty who stray from it a r e a c a n c e r and they w a s t e the precious money and time of the student.

These p r o f e s s o r s h a v e different r e a s o n s for what they do, but the c o m m o n denominator Is a desire "to m a k e y o u learn s o m e t h i n g " (anything In their exasperation). This attitude Is m a n i f e s t In r e a m s of "busy work" and the d e m a n d for r e g u r g i t a t i o n of v o l u m e s of details on tests and e x a m s . It Is u s e l e s s to m e m o r i z e t h e s e v o l u m e s of m a t e r i a l without e v e r being Instructed in the use of them, this could b e b e c a u s e there Is simply no practical use e x c e p t satisfying the professor's whim.

S o m e professors are blind to this and r e q u i r e ( c o e r c e , . f o r c e , b l a c k m a i l ? ! ) students to perform In this w a y In order to s a v e their GPA and their c h a n c e s for graduate school. B u s y work, with little or no direct bearing on the

course, is theft of the short t i m e that students have available to them. It does not s e e m possible that professors are that hard up to provide g r a d e s on e a s y to grade projects, or perhaps they need a greater c l a s s load to 44 keep them out of trouble." A justifiable reason for these practices could , h o t be found irregardless of who w a s questioned, e v e n the professors who subscribed this method. P e r h a p s there i s none possible.

What a student needs is not v o l u m e s of facts; a library is used to retrive facts. In fact, Carol Juth-Gavasso, who is known to the students a s the helpful reference librarian, asserts "Within 10 years, a graduate will forget 80 percent of the f a c t s

learned in c o l l e g e . " ( p a g e 13, 8485 catalogue) The student needs a framework with which to proc e s s and use such information.

This is much m o r e difficult to teach, but it is m u c h more valuable later in life than 20 percent of s o m e m i s c e l l a n e o u s facts.

It is not my intent to condemn anyone. Obviously I feel more strongly about this than many, but m y purpose is that of an a d v o c a t e - t o t r y to m a k e everyone take a critical look at this problem and to m a k e the n e c e s s a r y c h a n g e s if any deficiencies are found. After all, is this not what a liberal arts education is about?

and Bitches all m e e t and change.

A romantic view Indeed, but one that Is becoming less fictitious every day.

So what Is the problem from this break-up of the sub-culture's sub-structure? Think about it.

Teenagers thinking that they are all equal. Soon grown-ups thinking they are all equal. Soon everyone thinking they are all equal. Sounds like communism to me. Not just communism, but subversive weakening of the population of American and the Earth In general. What for? Invasion of course, but by who?

There need be no visible enemy. There Is no need to see who Is shooting at you In order to be able to dive for v cover. We have to start weeding out this anti-humanity cancer. We must mobilize now, so a s to keep from being caught off guard. Fortunately, a group has already been formed and has begun Its attack against this pre-lnvaslon tactic. What Is more, they have already undertaken plans that should help defend us from the actual invasion when It gets here.

Have no fear citizens of Earth, the Frogleglons are on the move.

Concerned and Helpfully,

r e p r e s e n t s the break-up of American Society as we know it.

More than George Orwell's 1984, Breakfast Club will change the events of the future, because it breaks down one of the most essential substructures of the United States. Breakfast Club is a horrifying attempt to destroy the sub-culture separations of Int e l l i g e n c e , A t h l e t i c s , and Sociability.

This began long before the movie c a m e out. It has been happenign subtly for several years, but not until tonight did it m a k e itself clear and distinct. Sadly enough it began in earnest as long ago as 1970. This time is important, because it is synchronized with one particular age group, mine.

Back in circa 1970, there w a s introduced a cartoon series. It w a s the (mis-) adventures of one dog named Scooby-Doo. Now, it The Claw Master was not so much the dog, or the plots of the episodes, but rather the cast of regulars that w a s the beginnings of this dreadful plot.

"Thanks Maintenance"

Dear Editors: As I w a s walking to m y 8:00 class one morning in the blizzard conditions that w e have seen so much of this winter, I ran Into some m e m b e r s of the grounds malntalnance crew who had been out working since 5:30 A.M. I realized that I don't thank them enough for the work they've done for us on campus. I know I wouldn't enjoy shoveling snow In sub-zero temperatures, eleven hours a day!

After walking on 8th Street, I w a s relieved to get back to campus where the paths had obviously been cleared and walking w a s much less treacherous. The amount of sidewalk area the malntainance crew tackles each day a m a z e s me.

Oh sure, I do slip occasionally, I've even fallen (but no one saw me, thank goodness!); but these can be easily attributed to the fact that I am too vain to wear proper foot attire, or because I gave myself only two minutes to walk across campus. I'm glad that w e have such a conscientious g r o u n d s c r e w - t h e y ' v e made this winter much more bearable.

Riming Along at Hope The Hope College Theatre D e p a r t m e n t has opened its third production of the s e a s o n . T h e Rimers of Eldritch opened on February 22. and it will continue to play on F e b r u a r y 28, and March 1 and 2. It is one of the most challenging and enjoyable shows e v e r staged at Hope College. Stylistically, the play is a great challenge for the director, designers, and actors involved in the show. T h e m a t i c a l l y , " R i m e r s " is insightful for the audience as it offers an intruiging view of small town life at its m o s t beautiful and painful m o m e n t s .

The style of the play is a s k i l l f u l l y w o v e n m e s h of characters, setting, and language, which offers to the audience a simple and realistic picture of a once-prosperous mining town. Pulitzer Prize winner Lanford Wilson is a l a n g u a g e conscious playwright who wields words into p a s s a g e s of i m a g e r y , without losing the tone and atI mosphere of common, e v e r y d a y language. He has given the play several touches of Mid-Western tongue, yet one is never a w a r e of distracting dialect. There a r e also monologues, rich with the various characters' k n o w l e d g e of what beauty the world h a s to offer; they are soulful, thoughtful passages.

The time f r a m e of the play is not limited to the present tense; it m o v e s freely through spring, s u m m e r , and autumn, from one day to another and back again. t The play is elusive of t i m e progression. It m o v e s from s c e n e to s c e n e m u c h like a m i n d that w a n d e r s and jolts through the past and the future, constantly refusing to live in the present.

The play is m a d e coherent by "town" s c e n e s , set in the town church and courtroom, which cement the c h a r a c t e r s and unite the p i e c e s of the puzzle.

The c h a r a c t e r s range all ages, tempers, and m a n n e r s . E v a Jackson is the youngest in the

Upon entering the dining hall you will draw a n u m b e r which will indicate whether you will partake of a meal characteristic of the wealthy, the middle c l a s s , or those from lower socioeconomic groups.

Critical Issues 1985

by Matthew Anderson The C r i t i c a l I s s u e s S y m posium, annual event at Hope in which c l a s s e s are cancelled for a day so that the Hope community to focus on a particular topic of concern, will be held next W e d n e s d a y and T h u r s d a y , March 6-7. This year's s y m posium will focus on the problem of World Hunger. A number of qualified speakers have been invited to lecture to the Hope community on this issue.

According to Eldon Greij, professor of biology and Chairman of the Symposiu, the purpose of this y e a r ' s CIS is ^'to present information detailing a number of the c a u s e s of world hunger and to look at possible solutions."

The Symposium will officially begin on Wednesday evening, March 6 at 7:30 p.m. in Dimnent Chapel, where Father William Byron, president of Catholic U n i v e r s i t y and one of the founders of Bread for the World, a world-hunger lobbying organization, will give the opening keynote address entitled ''World H u n g e r : an ActionR e f l e c t i o n P e r s p e c t i v e . " Fr. Byron will discuss the c a u s e s of world hunger and the programs which are being devised and enacted to alleviate it.

Following the Wednesday evening address, is a reception at 8:45 p.m. in Phelps Hall where students and faculty will h a v e the opportunity to meet the speakers, and be given a previw of Thrusday's program. The public is invited. The second keynote address will take place on Thrusday, March 7, at 8:30 a.m. on Dimnent Chapel. Dr. Mudziviri N z i r a m a s a n g a of the D e p t . of E c o n o m i c s at Washington State University, will be speaking on 4i A Third World View of Hunger: Causes,

Consequences, and Cures." Dr. Nziramasanga h a s served as Deputy Minister of Economic Development for Zimbabwe, and has .gained considerable exp e r i e n c e with Third World perspectives on the problem of hunger.

At 9:45, following the second keynote address, there will be a number of focus sessions conducted in which various guest speakers will discuss different aspects of world hunger in a classroom setting. Topics will include the role of lobbying in hunger concerns, the importance of cash and food crops, changes in agricultural techonoly, the effect of U.S. Foreign Policy and Third World Nation, population growth in the Third World, the role of women in the food production of the Third World, hunger problems iu- America, and the food production of the Third World, hunger p r o b l e m s in A m e r i c a , - and The Christin response to hunger. Six of these sessions will be offered during the first period of focus sessions at 9:45, and students must . select one of the Six to attend.

The third keynote address will be given at 11 a.m. in Dimnent Chapel. Dr. Anson Bertrand, D i r e c t o r of t h e O f f i c e of Agriculture at the Bureau of Science and Technology for the A g e n c y for I n t e r n a t i o n a l k D e v e l o p m e n t (AID) will be speaking on ''The Role of AID and a Consideration of Limiting Factors to Agriculture."

At 12:15 following the third keynote address, students will have the option of either going to a lunch break or attending two more focus sessions from the topics listed above. - A student who chooses to attend one of the two sessions will have to skip lunch for that day in order to do so, and if he h a s had their mealticket marked for the lunch miss-

ed, Western Food Service will contribute the cost of the lunch to a food relief agency.

The fourth and final keynote address will be at 1:30 p.m. in D i m n e n t C h a p e l .

The panelists will be Dr. Mudziviri Nziramasanga, Dr. Anson Bertrand, Mr. John Swewll, Dr. Roushdi Henin, Ms. Ruth Brautiseth, and Ms. Ivy Gaduka.

The moderator will be . Fr. William Byron.

The sponsors and participants of this year's CIS are hopeful that the Symposium will generate both thoughtful consideration and e f f e c t i v e action a m o n g Hopeites concerning the problem of hunger. In a letter to Hope, Fr. Byron summarized the goal of the Symposium thusly: "The trouble with the world, as one wise and witty observer put it, is that the people who do all the thinking never act, and the people who do all the acting never think. A Campus Symposium on the hunger issue h a s to stimulate t h i n k i n g — e s p e c i a l l y on t h e causes of hunger—as well as outline action strategies."

Note: The World Hunger Committee will be sponsoring and activity whereby students will have the opportunity to write to their Congressperson or legislator urging him or her to act on hunger concerns. For more information, contact Philip Fishman, ext. 6573 or Tracey Taylor.

Coffee, a Danish, and "The Breakfast Club The Breakfast Club Movie Review by D a v i d H.

Carmer Well, I went expecting this to be another teenage sex-film.

Well, there wasn't any sex. What I did find was a suprisingly good movie. Not only w a s it meaningful, it was enjoyable. Overall it w a s a good movie with a few faults.

The movie is about high school and parent-child relationships.

F i v e students are serving detention on a Saturday for 8 hours to make up for something they did, though it isn't a l w a y s clear what they did to deserve this punishment.

It is an emotional movie that isn't a s light as s o m e would like.

You go expecting just a bunch of Animal House type antics and what you get is a touching movie about today's society and subcultures.

The movie shows the stereotypes that we all dealt with in high school. There are brains, jocks, prom-queens, weirdos, and drop-outs. This movie has them, one of each, perfectly stereo-typed. E m i l i o E s t e v e z demonstrates that he can act in other manners besides his better known role of Otto in Repo Man. Here, he brings to life the athlete of h i g h s c h o o l ; t o u g h ,

dominating and popular with the right women.

The other c h a r a c t e r s are great, too. The brain, a real nerd to be, keeps saying the stupidest things. The best part of his character is when he is talking to himself and sucking on his pen.

He defends his right to be social with the fact that he has Joined the P h y s i c s and Math Clubs.

The prom-queen is perfectly dressed in her skirt and pink surgical blouse. Claire is proud of being the most popular girl in high school, but she's very out of sorts being in the school on a Saturday. She even is so class aware as to bring sushi for lunch and uses chop sticks to eat it.

Very upper class indeed.

The other girl is very strange.

She's an outcast of sorts, and for the first half-hour of the movie says nothing intelligible at all. It is obvious that she has problems of some sort as shee keeps taking things of other people. A knife that is on the table for instance.

Of course, we also have a druggie. He is dressed the part, and sticks out as what he is from the beginning. He walks in front of one of the cars bringing s o m e one else. Naturally they stop in time, and he walks by as if he didn't notice. He is also the one that starts this movie rolling. Without

him, they would h a v e all served their sentence and left for good behavior.

So, they get to know each other eventually. They break down their barriers of c l a s s distinction and become friends of a kind.

Then the brain brings up a good question. He asks if they'll still be friends c o m e Monday. Claire, the prom-queen, s a y s that they probably won't. The rest have different views.

It is a sad commentary on the state of affairs. It exposes the brutality inherent in our s y s t e m of education. Education not so much by the school, but the parents. They h a v e all been taught their prejudices before they get too far. These escalate over the y e a r s to what w e see in

Breakfast Club. It is sad to realize that we will never truly get to know some people because of these social barriers. And do not think that they do not exist on college campuses. Here they become a little more formal with Fraternities, Sororities, Academics, and Athletics. Man is a social creature, but a selectively social one.

In Lubbers 218 his desk is cluttered with books and papers, and a half-typed page awaits completion in the typewriter. He is Dr. David Cook, visiting chaplain and lecturer in religion from Oxford University in England; About Hope College, Cook said, in his quick, Scottish accent, "Hope's blessing and curse are the s a m e - it has a safe and secure community, and good teaching quality, but I think it also tends to be conservative for its own sake, insular, and I'm fearful for it ignoring what is happening in the world and not seeing how that affects itself."

Hope certainly is different from western United States, Cook said. He graduated s u m m a cum laude from Arizona State in 1968, and in that s a m e year w a s a consultant for the Black Power Movement. He now t e a c h e s medical ethics and trains people for the ministry. "I try to train m y students to think through problems; not just give them answers. I don't kmow what they will face 20 years from now; they should be able to deal with those problems."

This s e m e s t e r he teaches Basic Christian Thought and Women in Religion. He enjoys lecturing, although it is different from the one-to-one teaching method at Oxford.

4i There needs to be a higher level of participation by the students in class," he said.

"They need to learn to be critical, m a k e judgments, and question what they hear." The American system contributes to this, he said, by placing importance on the number of assignments and tests that are given. "It m a k e s good parrots out of them."

He also observes the different social atmosphere at Hope. Activities in England are less structured by the school. He also thinks there is a great pressure

to find a life-partner at college, partly encouraged by parents, and from the Importance placed on dating. He smiles, describing the college- student as thinking, "I'll never h a v e this many to choose from a g a i n ! " Cook sits back in his chair, feet up on the desk, contemplative.

He is not hesitant, but c a r e f u l and definitive when he speaks of his thoughs. He s e e s the g r e a t e s t s u c c e s s In American religion in the attendance and financing of the churches. ,4 It a m a z e s m o . " he said. "But I think t h e r e needs to be greater development of an Intellectual base for Christian! ty; in America It tends to be too emotional." He asserted that certainly emotion in Christianity is necessary for "that Is how we realate; It m a k e s us h u m a n , " but It Is not a base.

"The heart of Christianity is not that it m a k e s you feel good, but that it is true."

Cook h a s written a book entitled Are Women People, Too? in which he aserts that personhood, not gender, is fundamental. "Men and w o m e n a r e variations of the s a m e t h e m e " He, his wife, and two boys have enjoyed their stay in the U.S. They h a v e been to Disneyworld in Florida, and are going to New Orleans before they return home.

How To Teach a Language

by Mamie Marsters and Mary Jane Rhoades Hope college has been using the Rassias-Dartmouth method to teach modern languages since the fall of 1978 and today the language department has an effective method of t e a c h i n g adapted to its own style.

John Rassias, proffessor of R o m a n c e l a n g u a g e s and literature at Dartmout College, developed the method in the early '70s to train P e a c e Corps volunteers. The program involves 10 hours in a foreign language classroom per week, five with a master teacher (a professor) and five with an assistant t e a c h e r (an advanced stud e n t ) who r e i n f o r c e s the material taught in the master class.

The 10 hours focus on lively discussion exclusively in the target language. The class time never centers around lecture on g r a m m a r or culture but instead the explanations are all carried out in thp language and involve student participation at all times. Rassias said this method keeps the students' attention and equips them with p r a c t i c a l speaking abilities superior to those acquired through the traditional method.

To avoid using English to facilitate explanations, foreign words and phrases are acted out by the instructors to convey meaning. Rassias said these dramatics are an e f f e c t i v e way to add excitement to the class a n d i n c r e a s e s - s t u d e n t enthusiasm.

Some educatiors expressed concern that this distracts the student form the explanation but Mary Jane Rhoades, taught by the Rassias method and an Assistant Teacher for two years, said she found the method did accomplish Rassias' goal of ent h u s i a s m and p a r t i c i p a t i o n within the class and that it is necessary to gain the students' attention before they can be taught anything.

Rassias himself uses a great deal of dramatics throwing e g g s and chairs to gain attention but Hope has tempered this to suit its own needs. "One doesn't have to adopt Rassias' style, but the method," said Dr. Ion Agheana, associate professor of Spanish at Hope. Rhoades said Agheana is really a soft-spoken man, and he uses the R a s s i a s method but stamped it with his own style.

The method doesnt' dominate the professors' personalities but the other way around, said R h o a d e s , who h a s o b s e r v e d most of the l a n g u a g e p r o f e s s o r s using this m e t h o d at Hope.

"It doesn't s e e m strained for them to be exceptionally outgoing," she said. ''If they have enough openness to be a professor of language they have enough openness to teach the method."

Book, realizing what kind of trouble the mother, Rachel, and her son are in, delivers them to a supposedly s a f e place. The place turns out to be not so safe, and the happy (not really, cause ma's gettin plenty p.o.ed about all this shuffling around) trio travel to Rachel's home in the middle of the Pennsylvania farmland.

It is truly a bittersweet story of impossible love.

While this is going on, the bad guys are running around trying to fid where Book has snuck off too with w o m a n and kid in tow.

Neither his partner or his sister (with whom he originally hid the Amish) will tell, however. They get more desperate, and we begin to sit foreward on the edges of our seats, . So, we have suspense, love, and what else? Weir treats the viewer to a charming view of Amish life and living. We see mating rituals (how many of you started to laugh when Rachel's Amish beau slyly puts his arm on the back of the porch swing, smiles at her, then just as slyly places the arm back at his side?

thoroughly enjoyable film. It is a turn from the ordinary Harrison Ford character, while remaining faithful to type and expectation.

Ford fans will love him and the film. Others, well, what can I say. There w e r e a few minor pecadilloes, but I w a s watching for it, and I'll w a g e r no one else catches it, or if they do, will fail to notice the significance.

ing which is a joy to watch, and all the while w e are treated to Kelly McGills, who plays Rachel, flew a considerable amount of acting muscle in this role. Haas, too, does a commendable job, and Weir d e s e r v e s a good deal of credit for getting such a good job out of him.

But what about Harrison Ford, you ask? He has turned in one of his best, if not the best, roles he h a s done so far. The only thing that c o m e s close is Blade Runner or perhaps Raiders. His delivery is impeccable, his emotions genuine, and the role is tailor m a d e to the type of character he prefers to play. One of the most memorable s c e n e s in the movie is when a group of punks harass the Amish people he is with while in town. After putting up with it, he begins to climb down from the horse-drawn buggy.

Rachel's father puts out a restaiing hand, saying 'Leave them be. Book. Its not our way.' To which Ford offers the blunt, soon to be violent reply to father and punks: 'No, but its mine.' , The end of the film is shatteringly quick and interestingly different. A death that will put some people off Corn F l a k e s the way J a w s put people off beaches is contrasted by the final confrontation between Book and villian. The resolution will give you something to think about and mull over during the drive home.

I find it personally Insulting to take Vfe a day off for ^ what I consider the most important three d a y s in the Christian calendar. If Hope is supposed to provide a Christian atmosphere for its students doesn't this start with an attachment of s o m e importance to the important days on the Christian Calendar?
