T h e spotlight at D e Witt blazed last w e e k e n d on the p e r f o r m e r s in Dance 21, illuminating a troupe of 27 d a n c e r s a r t f u l l y s t r e t c h i n g , twisting, and leaping in expression.

The s h o w also included s o m e t h i n g which, according to dancers, is considered to be odd by the American public: five male dancers.

Stereotypes suggest that dancers are supposed to be female, and the " o d d " m a l e dancer is assumed to be e f f e m i n a t e . Most men wince at the idea of performing — or even trying — serious dance, a s s u m i n g it is an art which should be left to women.

"Society has tainted the role of m e n in d a n c e , " s a i d M a x i n e D e B r u y n , dance instructor and Dance 21 coordinator. "That is very sad. We really need more m a l e s to be involved in d a n c e . " Yet, male dancers at Hope say that they do not allow gender stereotypes to intimidate them. T h e y claim that dance is every bit as challenging, if not more so, than sports which men traditionally enjoy.

"1 d o n ' t g e t i n t o t h e s t e r e o types," Jason Law ('97) said. " Y o u ' d think sports players w o u l d get into d a n c i n g to d e v e l o p t h e strength and flexibility and discipline and balance. You realize when you start dancing how little balance you really have."

" T h e A m e r i c a n society is m u c h d i f f e r e n t than the E u r o p e a n socie t y , " he s a i d . "In E u r o p e , b o t h males and f e m a l e s begin s t u d y i n g d a n c e at a very early age, but in the U .

" A l s o , in the U.S., m a l e d a n c ers are associated with a strong homosexual stereotype," Buckley said. " M o s t m e n are unwilling to risk b e i n g r e l a t e d to that s t e r e o type."

D a n c e m a j o r Kat Borton ( ' 9 5 ) ties m a l e r e l u c t a n c e to the tradi-

tional m a s c u l i n e g e n d e r role.

"Society, a l t h o u g h it has started to c h a n g e , very clearly assigns men a n d w o m e n d i f f e r e n t r o l e s , " she s a i d . " D a n c i n g h a s a l w a y s been t h o u g h t of as a f e m a l e role. That is w h y m a n y m e n h a v e such a hard t i m e with it."

H o w e v e r m u c h m a l e s shy away from expressing themselves t h r o u g h d a n c e , the m a s c u l i n e element of d a n c e is as important as the f e h i i n i n e c o n t r i b u t i o n .

Faculty duo moonlights as performers Former sorority member

by N i n a Bieliauskas staff reporter For H o p e college faculty couple G e o r g e and Roberta Kraft, w o r k is m o r e than just nine to f i v e . For the past ten years, the K r a f t s have b e e n doing a little musical moonlighting, a s well.

Kraft, chairperson of the department of kinesiology, and his w i f e Roberta, a d j u n c t assistant professor of music, have given vocal p e r f o r mances statewide and beyond, b r i n g i n g t h e i r m u s i c a l t a l e n t to G r a n d Rapids, T r a v e r s e City, Midland, Detroit and C h i c a g o , and num e r o u s other cities and t o w n s .

T h e d u o b e g a n their act with an i n t e r e s t in S t e p h e n F o s t e r , o n c e called A m e r i c a ' s leading c o m p o s e r and troubadour. G e o r g e Kraft dev e l o p e d the idea of d o i n g s o m e thing with the music, and b e f o r e m u c h time had passed, a c o s t u m e had been rented f r o m the theatre d e p a r t m e n t and the first p r o g r a m b e g a n : G e o r g e Kraft s i n g i n g and his wife, Roberta, on the piano.

It started with church p r o g r a m s here and there," Roberta Kraft said. " T h e y ' d tell s o m e o n e about us and . w e ' d soon b e b o o k e d to a n o t h e r church."

T h e p r o g r a m s that the K r a f t s perform involve not only music, but a bit of history as well. Many of the p r o g r a m s f o c u s on a specific m u s i cal artist, such as Stephen Foster, incorporating not only m u s i c but the personal history of the artist, as well. T h e p e r f o r m a n c e can range from either actually i m p e r s o n a t i n g the artist or looking at him or her from the third person perspective.

A total of eight p r o g r a m s have been created over time, including Stephen Foster: In S o n g and Story, G e o r g e G e r s h w i n : T h e Man and His Music, T h e Lyrics and Melodies of Rodgers and H a m m e r s t e i n , L c r n e r and L o e w e : B r o a d w a y ' s Last R o m a n t i c s and H y m n s M y Mother Taught Me. " T h e audience can learn a little something, but be entertained at the same t i m e , " G e o r g e Kraft said.

H o p e College heard about the

team and started b o o k i n g then] for various f u n c t i o n s as well, namely as e n t e r t a i n m e n t for alumni p r o g r a m s and for classes such as E n counter with the Arts.

Literary clubs, s u m m e r festivals and v a r i o u s b u s i n e s s e s have also utilized the K r a f t ' s entertainment.

"1 d o it b e c a u s e i t ' s f u n , " George Kraft said. "1 enjoy perf o r m i n g o n stage and c o m m u n i c a t ing with people."

"There is a market out there, and p e o p l e w a n t to be e n t e r t a i n e d , " George Kraft said. T h e duo has performed o v e r 2 6 0 programs.

"We worried about establishing our careers and raising our children, and so w e didn't even start to think about vocations till later in life," George Kraft said.

I've learned to be a better performer," Roberta Kraft said. " E v ery audience is different, every piano 1 play is different, and 1 a l w a y s e n j o y it."

"My only regret is not to have started all of this sooner," George Kraft said.

Pianists make concert-going twice the fun

RELEASES IN (and around) HOLLAND

M a r i l y n just loooves chicken, and what better way to get it than straight from the roasting rack.

Holland's recent restaurant addition Boston Rotisserie C h i c k e n has "the freshest thing going" for them.

O f f e r i n g fresh sandwhiches, homemade soups, familiar hot sides, b a k e d goods, daily specialties and ^ family meals, this restaurant has more going for it than just greasy fries and c h a r c o a l b u r g e r s . Boston Chicken is run like a fast food deli, with pleasant employers ready to serve fresh chicken with warm smiles. And for that tight college budget—not to worry! Prices range from $2 to $6 for individual meals.

Located on East 16th Street across from The Blue Mill Inn.

T h e wide range of intricately d i f f i c u l t p i e c e s played on pianos g e n e r - ^ ously provided by Yamaha for the occasion permeated the room with i a dense rich sound. It w a s ' hard to believe that the same 20 fingers that tenderly twinkled also mightily unbraided the various measures.

T h e d u o opened with Toccata in Fugue in D minor, o n e o f B a c h ' s more familiar works. Before continuing with B r a h m s ' Variations on the St. Anthony Chorale, Broadway gave a formal explanation of the w o r k s within the first half of t h e p e r f o r m a n c e .

again the performers executed well.

T h e musicians left a wildly app l a u d i n g c r o w d at i n t e r m i s s i o n , only to thrill later with Three song Transcriptions arranged f r o m vocal piano to d u o - p i a n o by Victor Bablin.

Boyd and D i M u r o were brought to H o p e at the u r g i n g of 2 2 Hope faculty w h o desire to increase the n u m b e r of multi-culturalism opportunities offered h e r e at H o p e . Boyd a n d D i M u r o c h o r e o g r a p h e d , produced and performed their dramatic

dances.

Peter D i M u r o p e r f o r m e d his dance using text that consisted of letters he had received f r o m his family during the years of 19791992. T h e p e r f o r m a n c e w a s divided into four parts: the first part dealt with a letter from his father, the second with short notes from his mother, the third a letter f r o m his sister, and the fourth w e r e m e m o ries that were illustrated through his c h o r e o g r a p h e d d e s c r i p t i o n of kitchen corners.

Everyday Faith For by grace are ye saved through faith: and that not of yourselves: it is a gift from God.—Ephesians 2:8 This message was reiterated for Hope students on Monday as Dave Dravecky delivered his inspiring story at the 10:30 a.m. chapel service and again in Phelps later that evening. Dravecky, a former pitcher for the San Francisco Giants, was also the featured guest at a luncheon on Monday with the baseball and softball teams.

He focused not on his story of amazing courage, returning to major league action after he had a cancerous tumor removed from his pitching arm, but on the knowledge he gained from his experience.

For obvious reasons, it was devastating for Dravecky to lose what he considered his greatest strength—his arm. It was enlightening, however, for him to discover that something within him was stronger: his faith in Jesus Christ.

"I learned that the really important thing was my relationship with God and that all of the other things were additional details," he said.

While Dravecky's story is very inspirational, its lessons are often hard to remember. It is easy to get wrapped up in the goals, challenges and responsibilities of college life, putting our faith on the back burner.

Unfortunately, it happens all too often, and not until devastating things happen do we remember how crucial our faith is to our existence.

May we live vicariously through Dave Dravecky's story, letting it serve as inspiration for the reaffirmation of our faith. Let us not wait for extreme circumstances to turn our attention toward God. Instead, let us make our faith a part of everyday; a part of all that we do and all that we are.

Dutch paddle to national finish

O F F THE WAIVER WIRE

Competition Nevermore C o m p e t i t i o n - i t is w h a t drives athletes to p e r f o r m to the highest levels, to strive to best their o p p o n e n t , and to ultimately win the contest. T h e entire basis of sport is competition. Without it the g a m e s would be meaningless, the desire to win w o u l d not be there.

T h e i n b o r n d e s i r e is not u n i q u e l y h u m a n ; all a n i m a l s c o m p e t e with o n e another. T h e y battle f o r f o o d , shelter, and the highest quality mate f o r the survival of the species. Competition b e t w e e n individuals and species drives natural selection which in t u r n d r i v e s e v o l u t i o n to t a k e place. Without the need to be bigger, stronger, m o r e fit to survive than other m e m b e r s of your species, evolution would never have occurred.

We h u m a n s would probably still be eating fruits and picking insects off each others backs s o m e w h e r e if it w e r e not f o r competition driving us to b e c o m e better than the others.

T h e need to c o m p e t e is inborn into h u m a n s , it is instinctual, a response; it is natural. Society, now, in all its high and m i g h t i n e s s has d e e m e d it bad.

We are being taught that to c o m pete with another is not the way to go, but to w o r k together in a collective g r o u p is best. Children are taught not to get the highest g r a d e to beat Billy but to help Billy, b e c a u s e then B i l l y will help you. Society w a n t s c o m p e tition out of schools, out of the w o r k place, and out of life.

T h e U . S . did n o t get to w h e r e it is without striving to be the best. ' 9 7 d i d n ' t win T h e Pull this year by deciding to share the rope equally with ' 9 8 , and tell them what strategies w e r e g o i n g to be enacted. T h e Rangers didn't win the Stanley Cup last spring by cooperating with Vancouver C a n u c k s in a sharing of the puck equally. T h e Rangers w a n t e d the p u c k , they t o o k the p u c k , and stuffed it into the C a n u c k goal

more times than Vancouver could do it to N e w York.

If society had its way competition will be completely out of civilian life. And the only place the world will be able to turn to satisfy it's ingrown need to compete will be via the world of sport. That is why as fans w e must continue to strive and thrive for competition.

Even in contemporary society sports provide an outlet for our collective competitive juices.

Why else do fans live and die with their t e a m ? W h y do they w a n t their t e a m to s u c c e e d ? For the most part, the casual fan does not have any great deal of money at stake, the fans life will not be lost with a defeat. So why this need for success of their team?

T h e a n s w e r is out, hanging in front of you like a grasshopper under the nose of a hungry spider. By e m o t i o n a l l y a t t a c h i n g themselves to the contest, the fan has a stake in the outcome; the fan is c o m p e t i n g w i t h all the f a n s rooting for the other team. When one team wins half of the fans are happy b e c a u s e in essence, they have defeated the other fans by choosing to root for the winner, not the loser.

Even w o r s e than the prospect of h a v i n g to turn to s p o r t f o r society's only outlet for competition is the thought that w e as humans would stop evolving, evolution of the h o m o sapiens would stop. W h y should w e improve as a s p e c i e s if their is n o t h i n g to d r i v e u s to d o b e t t e r or a i m higher? In short, without c o m p e tition in sports, life would be as boring as a mass of the status quo.

Hopefully sports will keep the beacon of c o m p e t i t i o n alive so future generations of people will know the ecstasy of victory and the melancholy of defeat. C o m petition builds character and is as old as the first o r g a n i s m s that fought to be better, to evolve to be more, to do more, to exceed others, and to be the best.

After winning the M I A A title, various m e m b e r s of the w o m e n ' s s w i m m i n g team s h o w e d up at the N C A A D i v i s i o n III m e e t in Middleton, Connecticut with big shoes to fill. Despite having only one gold medal winner, Hope held their o w n , p l a c i n g f i f t h overall, with 271 points. Kenyon College w o n the C h a m p i o n s h i p f o r the twelfth consecutive time, with 527 points. The fifth place finish brought C o a c h John Patnott his ninth finish within the top ten in the past decadc.

H o p e ' s lone gold medalist w a s Kristin Moving ( ' 9 6 ) in the 1,650 yard freestyle competition. T h e 3 3 lap race victory slipped out of her hands last year, as s h e lost by a mere second. "She realized midway through the race that she was being c h a 1-

Baseball tunes up for tough season in Florida

by Glyn Williams staff reporter Every year the Hope College baseball team spends their spring break in Panama City, Florida playing baseball underneath the sweet Florida sun. T h i s annual S p r i n g Break tournament has b e c o m e an inaugural event of sorts, as this year the season begins with the first g a m e on Friday, March 17, at Maryville, Tennessee.

Last year's M I A A c h a m pion Flying Dutchmen w i l l be r e t u r n i n g 16 players in total, including eight s e n i o r s , w h o will be expected to carry the team through its nonc o n f e r e n c e s c h e d u l e in preparation for the tough M I A A c o n f e r e n c e seas o n . " T h e t o p of o u r p i t c h i n g o r d e r will b e back and 1 feel good about the season a h e a d of J us. We should shape down to be a pretty good squad," said Coach Stuart Fritz.

Last y e a r ' s team went 17-15-1 overall, and 13-3 in the M I A A .

Outside of the M I A A will most assuredly be a p r o b l e m again this year. " T h e S p r i n g Break tournament will be tough as it is every year. There are a lot of good teams that we will be competing against and all the travel will have a definite effect on the pitching staff."

Coach Fritz said.

Despite its five starting seniors, the team is for the most part young. as there are 13 f r e s h m e n . C o a c h Fritz is expecting big things f r o m the freshmen early on in the season. "Eric Lindblade ( ' 9 8 ) will be a good t h i r d - b a s e m a n soon, and Drew Vinton ( ' 9 8 ) will be o n e of our top pitchers perhaps as soon as next year." said Coach Fritz.

This s e a s o n ' s leaders a r e e x p e c t e d t o be M a r k Kuiper ( ' 9 5 ) w h o set an N C A A hitting record last year, T o m O s b o r n e ( ' 9 5 ) , and pitchers Steve Shooey ( ' 9 5 ) and D e r e k Z o o l i c k ( ' 9 5 ) . "1 am p r e t t y much expecting all my seniors to be leaders on the field and give extra to s h o w the f r e s h m e n h o w 1 it's d o n e . " c o m m e n t e d C o a c h Fritz.

According to Coach Fritz, the M I A A is for the most part up f o r g r a b s . " A l l s c h o o l s have a very g o o d chance of taking the league c h a m p i o n s h i p spot, except for Kalamazoo. T h e y h a v e a w a y s to g o in t e r m s of competetivness."

The first home g a m e for the Flying D u t c h m e n will b e played on Tuesday, March 28, against Elmherst College at 4:00 pm. "If w e expect to win w e ' r e just g o n n a have to c o m e out and play well and just take it one game at a time," said Coach Fritz.

Swimming men set on the blocks

by Greg Paplawsky sports editor The days of reckoning have arrived, there are no more tomorrows, the time is now. March 1618 the N C A A Division III national championship meet will be held at Oxford, Ohio for the Flying Dutchmen's swimming team.

Hope College is coming off an exceptional season. The team w o n the M I A A once again and qualified many swimmers for the national meet. "Each team has the potential to finish in the top ten and the men could challenge for the top five," said coach John Patnott w h o during his career has been voted the Division III coach of the year in both men's and w o m e n ' s s w i m m i n g . The Flying Dutchmen have finished in the top ten for the last four years.

The strength of the team should be in its relay events. A l l five relay teams are seeded in the top six in the nation.

Dan Knapp ( ' 9 5 ) is seeded second in the ( 400-yard individual medley, third in the 2 0 0 I M , and fourth in the 2 0 0 butterfly. Keith Nykamp ( ' 9 6 ) will be bidding for All-America honors . for a third c o n s e c u t i v e year in the backstroke events. Nykamp is seeded third in the 2 0 0 back and tenth in the 100 back. KirkAssink ('95) is seeded fourth in the 5 0 0 free and Shawn Kinser ('96) is seeded in the top ten in three freestyle races, the 1 0 0 , 2 0 0 , and 500.

His strong moral standing lies in stark contrast to Clinton's, but he has shown a tendency to lose his cool, and the sight of a president unraveling before o n e ' s eyes sits poorly in the minds of voters.

Morality aside. Dole has a couple of one ups on Clinton. First of all, he w a s a war hero. He lost the use of an arm in the defense of his country, while Clinton dodged the draft.

D o l e also has an e x t r e m e l y popular wife. Elizabeth Dole is the intelligent head of the American Red Cross and former Secretary of T r a n s p o r t a t i o n . She has n e v e r earned $ 1 0 0 , 0 0 0 on cattle futures, and Newt Gingrich's mom thinks she is a sweetie.

One thing that Powell lacks is c a m p a i g n i n g experience and that might be his undoing. He might just speak his mind instead of veiling his intentions under various s h r o u d s and the novelty of such an action might confuse Americans.

Powell might not stand for the crap that candidates take f r o m the press. When Hard Copy supposedly tracks down an illegitamite baby, Powell might say "What is this crap, this job is not worth it." He seems like a man that w o n ' t risk his integrity for any j o b . Any man w h o can convince the French to go to war has the talent to be President. .

R I E K S E R E A C T I O N : The current tide of a n i m o s i t y against Clinton is based more on Limbaugh propoganda than actual inadaquacies.

He should be credited with trying to tackle the most difficult issues of our day. Yes, health care was a huge flop, but none of its critics have had any inkling of a better solution. He has m a n a g e d to tear a huge hole in the deficit and passed N A F T A between his $ 2 0 0 haircuts.

T h e w e a k n e s s e s cited against him a r e of t h e t y p e t h a t d o n ' t immediatley affect the office of the President. FDR and K e n n e d y are spoken well of and a c c o m p l i s h e d much despite their infidelities.

Buchanan, a deeply conservative Catholic, will receive an impassioned following f r o m pro-life groups due to his strong anti-abortion stance. This will give him an extremely vocal base and will allow him to challenge s o m e candidates in the primaries, but it is difficult to w i n an e l e c t i o n on the wings of one issue, even t h o u g h it might be the most dramatic o n e of the election.

P e r o t ' s participation in the 1992 election is cited by many as | the reason for B u s h ' s demise, since he drew many Republicans into his c a m p .

T h e Republicans fear a repeat of 1992, especially as Perot threatens to "do whatever I have to do to get our goals a c c o m plished in an intelligent w a y . "

T h e " o u r " of w h i c h he speaks is his United We Stand A m e r i c a , a pressure g r o u p that is edging closer to partyhood.

Professor takes prestigious chair Chem prof appointed William S. Mungall of the Hope College chemistry faculty has been appointed the Elmer E. Hartgerink Professor of Chemistry.

He is the first m e m b e r of the f a c u l t y a p p o i n t e d to t h e c h a i r , which w a s established by Elmer E. Hartgerink of South Haven in 1991 through the college's " H o p e in the Future" fund-raising campaign.

"This endowed chair enables us to honor the a c c o m p l i s h m e n t s of one of our many outstanding faculty m e m b e r s in chemistry," said Dr. Jacob Nyenhuis, provost and professor of classics. "Professor Mungall is an excellent choice for this professorship, since he e m b o d ies all the qualities that both the donors and Hope College wish to recognize and promote. He is a fine teacher, one w h o engages his students with him in his ongoing research projects, a recognized scholar with many publications and grants, and a dedicated servant of the college, w h o is also extensively involved in his church and the community."

"President Jacobson and I w e r e very pleased to be able to present s u c h a s t r o n g c a n d i d a t e to t h e Board of Trustees for this appointment," he said. "I am confident that Professor Mungall will enhance the reputation of this e n d o w e d professorship by his p e r f o r m a n c e during his tenure as the E l m e r E. H a r t g e r i n k P r o f e s s o r of Chemistry."

A native of Zeeland and a 1939 H o p e graduate, Hartgerink began his career as a research chemist at C h e m i c a l S p e c i a l t i e s I n c . in Zeeland in 1941, a f t e r completing a m a s t e r ' s d e g r e e at Washington University in St. Louis, Mo.

Alcohol advertising appears in many places many d o n ' t even stop to notice. A l c o h o l c o m p a n i e s heavily s p o n s o r s p o r t i n g e v e n t s such as races, volleyball tournaments, and ski competitions.

Advertisers also use rock concerts for promotion opportunities.

It is no wonder alcohol use is the number one drug problem in the United States and on college c a m puses, Garrison said.

A study of 14 M a s s a c h u s e t t s colleges showed that of the 1,600 freshmen polled, 9 2 % of the men, and 82% of the w o m e n said they drank at least 5 alcoholic beverages consecutively at least o n e time a w e e k . Of those 1 , 6 0 0 f r e s h m e n , 5 0 % said they only drink to get drunk.

Garrison also e m p h a s i z e d the importance of waiting to drink until it is legal.

"If s o m e o n e is g o i n g to drink, the best thing for t h e m is to wait until they are 21," Garrison said.

A person who starts drinking at the age of 16 or younger is three times more likely to be a heavy drinker than those w h o start drinking when they are 2 1 or older. Alcohol also affects a younger

p e r s o n ' s body growth.

E m o t i o n a l g r o w t h also halts when alcohol is abused, because alcohol becomes a substitute for dealing with problems.

Garrison threw out figures to her audience that would m a k e the alcohol problem more comprehensible. Two-thirds of those w h o commit c a m p u s crimes w e r e under the influence of alcohol at the time of the o f f e n s e . Fifty percent of the sexual violence that occurs on campus also is attributed to alcohol. " T h e most important thing for you to d o is to keep yourself safe and keep the focus on yourself, and to allow the person to feel the negative consequences of their actions," Garrison said.

Garrison's speech helped A I M ' s p u r p o s e to c o m b a t d r i n k i n g on H o p e ' s campus.

A I M f o c u s e s on r e m i n d i n g people to be responsible when they drink. " T h e philosophy of A I M in not anti-drinking, it is a n t i - d r u n k e n ness," said co-president Kelly Jansen ( , 9 7 ) .

Under recent a m e n d m e n t s to state law, the Board of GovernorsÂŤ must develop a series of recommendations, within six months, to submit to the authority. The r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s will focus on waste management options, waste minimization strategies and how to conduct a volunteer host c o m m u n i t y process.

T h e 1 1 - m e m b e r b o a r d includes representatives f r o m public interest and e n v i r o n m e n t a l groups, generators of low-level radioactive waste, universities, the general public, the Michigan Department of Health and the Attorney General's Office. The m e m b e r s w e r e a n n o u n c e d on Thursday, Feb. 16.

Williams, w h o has been appointed the board's interim chairp e r s o n , h a s been a c t i v e l y involved in radioactive w a s t e issues for many years, serving as a consultant to the Nuclear Energy Institute and the Department of Energy. He has conducted works h o p s a n d p r e s e n t a t i o n s on nuclear issues for teachers, the m e d i a and t h e p u b l i c , a n d at H o p e t e a c h e s a c o u r s e on the chemistry of radioactive waste.

Dennis Schornack, acting c o m m i s s i o n e r of the authority, s t a t e d that t h e v o l u n t e e r host c o m m u n i t y process is the most important focus of the board. T h e volunteer process would replace earlier attempts by the state to select a site upon which a lowlevel waste isolation facility would be built.

Schornack stated, " A v o l u i # teer process means that no area will be considered for the development of a low-level radioactive waste ( L L R W ) facility unless the community wishes to be considered."

He also stated his belief that a volunteer approach is the best way to site a controversial facility. "1 b e l i e v e that if c i t i z e n s study all aspects of low-level radioactive waste m a n a g e m e n t in an objective way, they will conclude that this waste can be man-

T h e board will meet o v e r the next six m o n t h s to r e c o m m e n d s p e c i f i c p r o c e d u r e s by w h i c h communities could volunteer, along with benefits and c o m p e n sation to the local c o m m u n i t y , and local c o n t r o l over facility development and operation.

S c h o r n a c k also pointed out that the authority will not consider a v o l u n t e e r site u n l e s s d e t a i l e d studies s h o w that the e n v i r o n ment and the public will b e fully protected.

In 1989, the authority conducted a computerized statewide screening process; and, based on that analysis, selected three candidate areas for further e v a l u a t i o n . C i t i z e n s in t h o s e communities overwhelmingly o p p o s e d the w a s t e facility after being picked without having any involvement in the process. The v o l u n t e e r p r o c e s s will put the sentiments of the c o m m u n i t y on an equal f o o t i n g with technical considerations, Schornack said.

Low-level radioactive waste is p r o d u c e d in M i c h i g a n by nuclear power plants, many hospitals, universities, research institutions and o t h e r commercial facilities. T h e w a s t e is n o w being stockpiled at more than 50 locations s t a t e w i d e w h e r e it is generated, because the nation's two operating disposal facilities will not accept w a s t e f r o m outside their regions. Waste generators in 3 1 states are currently storing w a s t e on-site.

F e d e r a l l a w s passed in the 1980s assign to each state the responsibility for managing and ass u m i n g disposal capacity f o r the L L R W produced within the state.

M i c h i g a n had b e e n p a r t of a seven-state compact, and was selected in 1987 to develop the first w a s t e facility for the region.

A f t e r the siting process slowed in 1990, the M i d w e s t Compact refused to continue to f u n d siting activities in the state, and in 1991 revoked M i c h i g a n ' s m e m bership in the c o m p a c t .

In addition to Williams, the m e m b e r s of the Board of Governors are: J a m e s R a n g ; H o w a r d D w o r k i n ; George Kreick (ParkeDavis); Terry G i l l ; Helen B o x e r ; Beverly Brown ;Theodore Bornhorst ; Elaine Brown ; G e o r g e B r u c h m a n n ; and John Scherbarth.

After he had c o m e back to pitch his f i r s t g a m e s i n c e d i a g n o s i s against all doctors' predictions, a Christian friend and t e a m m a t e helped him gain p e r s p e c t i v e , he said.

He told him that the really important thing w a s his relationship with G o d , and all other things were additional details. T h i s recurring statement ran through his mind during the time that his arm snapped during the next game. " H e w a s a good s p e a k e r , " said Intervarsity m e m b e r Rob Harrison.

"It is rare that a bunch of baseball players sit around t a l k i n g about their faith. H a v i n g this kind of e n c o u n t e r really helps to strengthen t e a m unity."

Dravecky's powerful message c a m e w i t h s o m e h u m o r o u s anecdotes, as well. " S o m e people go to the mall to people w a t c h , " D r a v e c k y said.

B o y d ' s dancing was much more prevalent and c o n t i n u o u s than D i M u r o ' s piece. It w a s a chaotic blend of flat footed kicks and graceful, fluid m o v e m e n t that c o m b i n e d together into a p o w e f u l emotional statement.

Boyd related in a dramatic voice what each part of her body meant to her, as well as stories of her ancestors and racism that existed even in her childhood.

"I am not subservient!" she announced to the audience, and in her grace and b e a u t y and p o w e r on stage, s h e certainly w a s n ' t .

G r a h a m - F a l l o n ' s next number, " R e q u i e s C a t " brought elements of d r a m a , poetry, and s a t i r e to the stage as well as dance. Emphatically s p o k e n , c h o r u s - l i k e recitations of cliches involving the word cat a u g m e n t e d b e a t n i k - l i k e c o s tumes and jazzy moves to make this a real audience-pleaser.

Without a doubt, there is talent in H o p e ' s dance department. Dance 21 served to display this talent and highlight a promising f u t u r e for the men and w o m e n w h o participated

" S o m e people call it tough love — pushing people to b e c o m e m o r e than what they are — but for m e I couldn't see it as loving," she said.

"Pledging treats people that you want to be friends with and sorority sisters with as inferior for the two w e e k s ," s h e said.

While many argue that one purpose of pledging is to create unity within the pledge class, she feels that this could b e achieved in another way.

"I think that the friendships that I formed were because of experie n c e s o u t s i d e of p l e d g i n g , " s h e said. While she said that pledging was not a constructive experience

f o r her p e r s o n a l l y , e a c h p e r s o n must c o m e to their own decision regarding it.

"For s o m e people you have a great experience with it. It's a decision that every one has to m a k e independently."

Although this has been a difficult decision for her, she said that she has no regrets. " S o m e of the people that I ' v e gotten to k n o w I w o u l d n ' t have gotten to know otherwise,"she said.

"The people within the organization are wonderful people, which is why I Joined. 1 quit because of things about the organization, not about the people."

joked. "It will be s o hard to replace them that w e will just up and quit playing. But seriously it will be a very hard time replacing them. In fact, you can't do it. All you can do is find people who play as good as they did," he said.

Duistemars m a d e the first team all MIAA, while Plank and Schlaff achieved second team honors. "We will most definitely miss them a lot. We will work very hard at it, but it will not be an easy task," Van Wieren said. " H o w e v e r , w e have a good solid nucleus of 11 players coming back, and w e will be looking at Marc Whitford ( ' 9 7 ) , Matt Brown ( ' 9 7 ) , a n d Joel Holstege ( ' 9 8 ) to step up and pick up where the graduating g u y s are leaving off. And with the Junior Varsity players that are expected to step up, w e should be just as good next year."

Depending on their off-season p r o g r e s s . C o a c h Van Wieren is planning to bring up three players f r o m JV. C a n d i d a t e s a r e C h r i s Merrit ('98), Andy Holoka ('98), Tim Hoksema ( ' 9 8 ) , Don Aikens ( ' 9 8 ) , and M i k e P a t i g l i o ( ' 9 8 ) .

"Those guys all had a great year, and Merrit played in two g a m e s with the varsity squad. H e held up pretty good in those g a m e s , " Van Wieren said.

T h e single loss of the season f a i l s to d i s g r u n t l e .Van W i e r e n . " O n e loss as compared to what?

Twenty six wins. We played very hard against a lot of hard teams, and we set a lot of records this year, l a m pleased with our season. Ijust think it is too bad w e had to lose in the first round of the N C A A Championships."

Hoopster" from page 2 "If 1 could ever get to the point where I could play in American I w o u l d , " he said. He said that for now, however, he would be content to just get a better j o b financially and in terms of experience in France.

For now, however, Gugino will be at home in Midland. He turned down the opportunity to play overseas this week so that he could attend the Saturday w e d d i n g of his best friend.

"I am 100% sure that the Lord works in your life, and if I am patient with him, he'll put m e where he wants me."
