Congress pledges to continue community outreach

by Julie Blair campus editor Student Congress voted Thursday to incorporate the Community Relations Task Group into the constitution as a standing sub-committee with hopes it will continue to better Hope College and Holland community relations.

Renamed H.A.N.D., the Hope and Neighborhood Development committee, representatives will work with community leaders and Holland youth in an outreach program designed to involve students in the "big picture" beyond campus boundaries.

"This is a much needed thing," said Val Pacheco ('96), Centennial Park representative. "I live in Holland and have seen the resentment from other high school students and some community members (towards Hope College). Even with the little e f f o r t s w e ' v e m a d e I ' v e seen changes for the better."

Some of these efforts include participation in the annual fall Cleanu p Day, Youth Day, Community Day and spending time with teens at Cornerstone Ministry,aprogram that provides positive alternatives to spending weekends in the streets.

"The ties we've made with community leaders have been really

important," President Eric K. Foster said. " W e ' v e worked with a lot of Hispanic leaders and church leaders, people we never thought we could get to."

Next year the committee hopes to organize a block party, safety awareness seminars and research community problems and ways to counter them. " W e really need to utilize the groups here at Hope to help the community," Foster said. " W e want a committee, not just a task group, to help ensure something will be done each and every year," said Kelly Caufield ('97), Dykstra representative and chair of the current task group.

N E W S OF INTEREST

Feler Bose Whitewater won't go away Walter Mears once s a i d "Politics teaches two lessons about political scandals. Lesson No. 1 is that the sooner the whole story is told, the more likely the political fallout will be manageable. Rule No. 2 is that almost nobody remembers rule No. 1."

Well, it seems like the Clintons have also fallen into the category of Rule No. 2. Ongoing news about the Whitewater scandal and the Madison Savings and Loan investigation has not only left people confused but also angry.

Bill Clinton, who tried hiding facts which could have saved him, now is in even more trouble.

The scandal can be outlined as follows. The Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan, headed by James McDougal, helped the Clintons repay an enormous debt incurred in his 1984 gubernatorial campaign. According to the New American, "Questions center on whether, through the cover of political fund-raising, bank funds were improperly diverted to assist the Whitewater land-development scheme and/or the Clintons."

Madison Guaranty, which went broke in 1989, cost the taxpayers over $60 million.

This development first came to public attention during the presidential primaries when Jerry Brown brought it up. Clinton avoided answering the question by just saying that he should stop

"jumping all over my wife." After a statement that said Whitewater was a losing investment for the Clintons, things quieted down.

Though Clinton wondered why people would be interested in his loss, he never reported that loss in his income tax forms. According lo New York Times Columnist William Safire, "they [the Clintons] wrongly took other deductions, and the lawyer who worked with Hillary on these returns was Vincent Foster." A few months ago, after Vince Foster's suspicious death, it was confirmed that the former White House Counsel Bernard Nussbaum entered Foster's office and removed files relating to Whitewater. Further reports show that the White House interfered with and hindered the investigation of Foster's death by confining the investigation to the park police and not the F.B.I. Late last year following several delays, under the pressure of a subpoena, the documents were handed to the Justice department.

The interesting thing to note is that the subpoena was requested

by White House lawyer David Kendall so that the public would not be able to see the documents.

Clinton's further cover up was seen when two couriers from the Rose Law firm, in which the First Lady was a partner, told ABC

news that they had been commanded to shred any documents likely to be subpoenaed in the future. Further suspicions were aroused when Attorney General Janet Reno delayed the appointment of a special independent counsel. When he was finally appointed, Robert Fiske boldly denounced Congress for asking for Congressional hearings— something that probably wouldn't have happened if it had been a Republican president. Though many White House staffers are being subpoenaed by Fiske, there seems to some cover up going on.

When Treasury Secretary Lloyd Bentsen used the Fiske investigation as an excuse to not disclose information in a House subcommittee hearing, the Wall Street Journal, said that the investigation was "beginning to look" like a cover-up. Fiske needs to stop blocking the inevitable, that is congressional hearings. Representative Jim Leach wrote, "Traditionally in all Western democracies it is the responsibility of the party out of power to hold the party in power accountable for breaches of the public trust."

Further questions do remain and need to be answered. Though the news is coming a drip at a time, Clinton needs to know that only the truth and nothing but the truth will set him free.

Health care conference comes to campus Though many American citizens would like to see a system of universal converage for all, few are willing Although it may seem as if the to make the necessary sacrifices such Washington establishment is fasci- care would entail.

JAPAN Prime Minister Morihito Hosokawa resigned over the weekend due to accusations over illegal financial dealings occurring in the early 1980*8. Speculation on his replacement has already begun, yet it is unlikely that the L D P will be able to form a governing coalition without major concessions to minor parties. The United States is closely watching the Japanese political developments, as President Clinton had placed support behind Hosokawa's political and economicreformseven as theU.S.engaged Japan in trade confrontations.

MIDDLE EAST The ongoing conflict between Palestinians and Israelis continues to escalate. Late last week several Palestinians opened fire with automatic weapons at a bus stop. One Israeli was killed and four others were injured in the attack. In a separate incident, two Israelis were knifed by residents of the Gaza strip. In response, the Israeli government completely sealed off the occupied territories of the West Bank and Gaza, isolating their 1.8 million residents.

RWANDA AND BURUNDI An airplane carrying the presidents of Rwanda and Burundi were killed in a rocket attack last Wednesday. The political situation in the two small African nations deteriorated following the loss of their leaders. However only Rwandan citizens resorted to violence. Over 10,000 persons have been killed, including 11 Belgian peace-keepers who were killed by the Rwandan presidential guard. Armed citizens took to the streets engaging in ethnic violence. The American government announced that it prepared to evacuate all 230 U.S. citizens if necessary to protect their safety.

CHINA In a recent interview, Secretary of State Warren Christopher defended both himself and the President over the issue of MFN rights for China. Clinton has announced that unless China ceases its harassment of dissidents and makes significant progress in the area of human rights, he will refuse to renew the trade provision. In response, the Chinese government accused the United States of an intrusion into their domestic affairs in the issue of dissidents.

BOSNIA U.S. airforce jets operating as part of NATO forces bombed Bosnian Serb positions outside a Muslim-controlled village. Three bombs were dropped in the area of a Serbian military command center. The village, Gorazde, had previously been declared a "safe haven" by the United Nations. This latest military action follows the downing of a Bosnian Serb jet over a no-fly zone last month.

However, it is not clear that NATO intends to intervene militarily on behalf of the United Nations in the future.

Editorial

Columnist criticized for views about religion and gov't Accusing of ignorance'

not 100% Christian, then how can this belief be forced upon Jewish, Islamic, or Atheists? There is no denying the fact that a forced religion is wrong. Religion has to come by the heart, not the law. If, as Rob insists, a majority of students voted for prayer in a school then could a majority of students in a school also vote for Ku Klux Klan propaganda and have it forced upon the whole class?

Liberals and intellectuals are not anti-religious. Rob needs to be careful in how he stereotypes groups. I believe in helping the underdeveloped, caring for the undernourished, and aiding the underprivileged. A man named Jesus preached similar ideas about two thousand years ago.

Intellectuals have always helped develop and sustain organized religion. Luther, Calvin, Kant and Hope's Religion Department are surely not anti-religious, but all have had high academic training.

Rob Harrison did a great job on his statistics, but speaking from the heart instead of the brain gets people in trouble. Every one in this country deserves religious freedom, not just Dutch, Reformed kids from Holland. Please stay away from the wall that separates religion from government. Knock down the wall of ignorance that is shown by this article.

Respectively Yours, Karsten T. Voskuil

Dear Editors, I am a Christian. I am a socialliberal. I am an American. Rob Harrison implies that I cannot be all three. Let me refresh R o b ' s history.

When this nation was established, the majority of the "citizens" were Christian. But, the founding fathers were definitely not Calvinistic. In fact, Washington, Jefferson and Franklin were Diests. Believing in a god is a tad bit different than Jesus Christ. Besides the fact that our own f o u n d i n g f a t h e r s prescribed to Voltaire's philosophical version of organized religion, the major underlining reason many Americans fought and died in the Revolutionary War, was lo break away from the State supported Church. The government has always corrupted the church, and the church has also corrupted the state. Even Rob admits that the two cannot become attached.

But if there is not a clear wall of separation between the two then how can we decide what and what is not kosher. This is the reason why little things like time for prayer or graduation prayer become so dangerous.

If you give an inch some groups will insist on taking a mile. We cannot allow the steam-roller affect ruin organized religion. Please look at the Church of England or Church of Scotland to understand my point( the two churches are basically extinct).

Clarifying the debate Our government has always protected the minority, as it has the Dear Editors, In response to Harrison's colmoral and constitutional obligation to do so. S ince the public schools are umn "Impressions", dated April 6, 1994. If Harrison wishes to con-

tinue living in a pseudo-reality in which America has a Christian majority, and the administration of this country is conspiring against Christianity, that's his decision.

I believe that church should not be mixed with state in any way, regardless of the religion, and that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;...", from the American Constitution, Amendment I. Free exercise meaning a person may exercise any religion they wish in private, not in a public institution, such as a public high school, town hall, or the United States Congress. The allowance of religion lo permeate such public institutions would violate the first part of the amendment. I believe this is the way the American Supreme Court currently interprets the Constitution also. One need only read, as I have, cases such as Lee vs.

Weisman, Engel vs. Vitale, Everson vs. B o a r d of E d u c a t i o n , and McCollen vs. Board of Education.

I do not believe that the government discriminates against Christianity, I believe it lakes the necessary steps to prevent all religions from being mixed into stale affairs, as dictated by Amendment I of the American Constitution, so that this country remains a democracy as it has been in the past.

I hope this letter will clarify any confusion present on my viewpoint, and prevent any further "straw man" argumentation or ambiguous, vague, or incorrect analysis of the issue at hand.

Joel has not only been an active and vocal member of Congress for two years, he has also demonstrated his ability and willingness to lead. He has utilized his leadership abilities on many occasions.

In an effort to respond to student needs, Joel has served on many committees in Congress such as the Religious Life Committee, the Appropriations Committee and the Student Religious Life task group.

We, the undersigned, believe Joel Plantinga possesses the experience and dedication to serve as oOr Student Congress president.

Where's the choice?

According to a rather ancient edition of Webster's

New World Dictionary in the office, an election is defined as "the right, power, or privilege of making a choice." We are currently on the brink of our own Student Congress "elections." However, one minor component seems to be missing. Where are the choices?

Usually, there are at least two candidates for each of the cabinet positions. This allows for some actual competition when the polls open. It allows you, the voters, to actually decide who will best represent you, instead of it being maybe the one person who turns in their completed petitions.

Granted, that one person could very well be the perfect person for the position. But, with no one to compare them to, who's to tell?

Who knows why more people didn't decide to run?

We're not mind readers.

Here's one possible scenerio: Because the entire cabinet is returning to campus next semester, many students may have assumed that they would be running again. Well, as an article in last week's Anchor noted, this was not the case. Therefore, opportunities to take on leadership responsibilities were wide open.

So, why didn't more people jump at this chance?

Again, who knows? Perhaps it was just another case of everyone assuming that someone else would do it.

This editorial is here to say that it's not too late for those of you who might still want a piece of the action.

While petitions are no longer being accepted, who's to say that you can't start a little campaign of your own for the write-in vote? Just post a few dozen flyers around campus, much like the Happy Birthday notices everyone has seen as of late. Include on them the position you are running for and why you think you're qualified. Simple.

With a few solid hours of effort, a write-in candidate could very possibly be elected. One marketing tip: make sure flyers are visible at voting stations. Because your name won't be on the ballot, some people might not remember who's trying for the write-in.

You deserve to have a choice in this election. Without a choice, you have no real voice.

Corrections On page 3 of last week's Anchor, we mistakenly identified one of the people who went on the Habitat for Humanity Spring Break trip as Kathy Heep. Her real name is Kathy Heeg. We aplogize if this caused any confusion.

Student Congress candidates for '94-'95 Presidential candidates

Jeremy 'Dobos '97

Jod (Plantinga '96

I am running for Student Congress President because I believe that Student Congress should reflect the views of the majority on campus. Some of the recent actions by Congress have prompted me to get involved, instead of sitting on the sidelines and pretending these issues don't bother me. One of the actions which disturbed me was that of the Health Clinic Task Force, a committee of Congress, which seeks to enable the Health Clinic to distribute condoms. Even though this may be wellintended, it seems to me to support premarital sex. "Well, it s going to happen anyway..." is not a viable argument.

I believe that this would be inconsistent with the whole focus of the college. Is this a school which truly adheres to the teachings of Jesus Christ or is that just an empty lie?

Another action which bothered me was the drafting of a vague Sexual Harassment policy, which I see as hindering, not helping the problem of sexual harassment. Are we to institute a "reign of terror" in which people are afraid of even having relationships with one another? I personally don't want to be a person that stands back and does nothing while these issues are debated.

If I am elected, I would like to get the student body of Hope more involved or, at the very least, more informed about the happenings of Student Congress. I also would like to get the student body more involved in reaching out to the community and building relationships with people.

Hope College should be more than a "Christian college in name only..." I would urge anyone who has ideas to share to stop by or give me a call.

Dobos

Plantfiaa

Vice Presidential candidate

Hope College is, in my opinion, at a pivotal point in its history regarding several key issues vital to our identity. Some believe that in order to improve our situation in the immediate Holland community, we must "box ourselves o f f from the neighbors. I am of the opinion that we must make a concerted effort lo reach out to our neighbors and show them what we as Hope College students, arc all about. 1 think that once we do this, the student body will see the neighborhood for what it can be, and not for what the common stereotypes are.

1 do not believe in running from problems, and believe that if we isolate ourselves from the community, not only will we continue to be faced with safely concerns, but we will be missing out on a potential goldmine for friendships and cooperative work. We must also work on continuing progress towards making Hope College a community that shows love, compassion, and kindness towards everyone in and around our campus. By working with the Dean of the Chapel and local churches, I'm committed to doing my best lo lead Hope College's student body according to God's will. Through constant prayer and communication with God, we can tap into the most powerful resource available to mankind and accomplish these goals. I have served two years as a Representative on Student Congress and the Appropriations committee, which has given me the invaluable experience necessary to know how the system works here at Hope College and how to use that knowledge to turn the ideas of Hope College students into reality.

Comptroller candidate

fA/ma

HkCiauskis '97 I, Nina Bieliauskas, am running unopposed for the position of vice-president. Still, I feel it is important for my viewstobe seen and understood.

The vice-presid e n t of S t u d e n t Congress deals mostly with communication, keeping the representatives informed of what is going on in congress. Communication is breaking down, however, in relation to Hope and the s u r r o u n d i n g community,aswell as between the students and the administration. In orBieliauskas der to create bridges once again, the ability to communicate must be put back in place.

This is not an insurmountable task.

Publicity works. Knowledge works. All

Mantis '95 Mike Yantis was unable to provide The Anchor with a statement at this time due lo the fact that he is in the middle of the current Appropriations deliberations. The Appropriations Committee has been involved in meeting with all Congressfunded organizations for the last couple of weeks to hear about their budget goals for the upcoming academic year.

At the time of writV ing this, Yantis and the committee were involved in making decisions about where they would recommend that funds be allocated. This turned out

that is needed is to get people informed about what is going on, and the lines to communicate are open. Joel Plantinga and I hope to create an informed surrounding community that knows more about Hope College than what they see through their windows when it gets dark. And the same holds true for us, the students. We need knowledge of what is going on around us, what the community is really like, and what is available here at Hope.

I feel that this is important, that getting everyone informed is important. It is so much easier to find solutions to the problem when you at least know what problems exist.

to be a very lime-consuming process, not allowing Yantis to complete a statement.

However, it should be known that Yantis has been a member of Student Congress for the past two years, and been involved in the Appropriations process during both terms. Last year, he served as the representative for Scott Hall. Currently, he is serving as Comptroller. Yantis apologized for not having a statement lo print and said thathe willbesubmiiYantiS ting a letter to the student body for publication in next week's A/zr/ior.

Showcase sounds sweet A&E

by Jim Riekse staff reporter Last Monday's Musical Showcase at DeVos Hall in Grand Rapids provided a sampling of Hope's broad range of gifted musicians. The show was one that President John Jacobson described as, "a rich offering of musical talent.

Highlights of the show included Mami Kato ('97) presenting a mesmerizing version of F r e d e r i c Chopin's Nocturne in F-sharp, w h i c h was c h a r a c t e r i z e d by a smooth, rolling beauty, which occasionally rose to an excited peak.

Next it was College Chorus's turn to impress, with Paul Fetler's "Sing Unto God". Although it was listed as a lively and powerful piece, when performed, it took on a bright, furious hymn of praise quality.

Also lively and bright was a violin piece featuring Jennifer Nash ('95), presenting "Danse Espagnole" from La Vida Breve. Written by Manuel de Falla, it was brisk and bouncy with a Central European gypsy flavor that spiralled into a sad mourning cry. Then, the Percussion Ensemble, led by T h o m a s Langejans, performed a violent composition, which featured the steel drums, bongos, and a thunderous tympani. Draped in red light, the piece increased in intensity to near volcanic proportions.

Soprano Laura Beth Bauman ('94) sang Jacques Offenbach' s "Les oiseaux dans la charm ille", a performance characterized by Bauman hitting some extremely high notes.

The audience was at first perplexed

by Bauman's abrupt, robotic movements and odd dollish costuming, but were enlightened when after one flurry of atmospheric notes she shut

down and needed the pianist to rewind her.

Things mellowed out when Steven B e u k e m a ( ' 9 6 ) p l a y i n g Rachmaninoff's "Elegy", managed to make the piano weep. The song felt as if it was playing in the mind of a child, as he watched the only neighborhood he ever knew fade away through the rear window, the sadness balanced with occasional anxious bursts.

The small, yet talented Collegium Musicum p e r f o r m e d "Let Go, Why Do You Stay Me", by John Bennett. Karen Sepura ('95) treated the audience to the "Allegro from Sonata in D minor" by Shostakovich. Her cello took on multiple personalities from calm and lovely, to playful, to determined.

The colorful Chapel Choir under J. Scott Ferguson's direction is always expected to perform exquisitely, and it executed Bach's "Der Geist hilft unsrer Schwachheit a u f as smoothly as expected.

Matthew Kline ('94), all bedecked in shepherd's garb performed Robert MacGimsey'sShadrack. He sang with a deep, insistent voice and ended the song with a resounding Abednigo.

The Orchestra, conducted by Robert A. Ritsema, received the task of ending the night on a powerful note, which they did e a s i l y .

Shostakovich's "Presto" began with quick, dancing violins which grew deeper and more distressed. The addition of the xylophone led to a sort of climatic fall. There was a calm after this fall, with a rush of flutes and the often ignored triangle.

The piece beautifully capped off a night that should make the Hope Music Department extremely proud of its diverse pool of talent.

Pink Floyd makes a comeback

by Brent Vander Kolk music reviewer After lying dormant for over four years since their Delicate Sound Of Thunder Tour, Pink Floyd has come back to life. The Division Bell brings tales of sadness, anger, and confusion that embody today's world and Pink Floyd's music. David Gilmour, Nick Mason, and Richard Wright have teamed up again to bring another jewel to the already extensive collection of great Pink Floyd albums.

At first glance one appreciates the entrancing guitar and elegant, yet haunting keyboards that characterize Pink Floyd. Many of the songs have qualities of their earlier albums. The song "What Do You Want From Me?" is reminiscent of The Dark Side Of The Moon ,while the track "Lost For Words," has an elegant acoustic quality very similar to the song "Wish You Were Here" off the album of the same title.

Intertwined amongst all the good are the overpowering backup singers. Their voices can at times take away from Gilmour's vocals instead of adding to them.

This problem could be easily solved by lowering the volume on the background singers and having them stop repeating every line in the chorus.

The absence of head man Roger Waters leads many to be-

lieve Pink Floyd's days are numbered. Roger Water's contribution was indeed great. His on the edge of reality lyrics brought Pink Floyd their popular near psychotic atmosphere. Yet one should not consider the remaining members of Pink Floyd merely "shadows in the night."

David Gilmour has extraordinary talent at the guitar and his lyric writing has greatly improved now that he has assumed the lead role. While Nick Mason and Richard Wright continue to display their rhythmic and harmonic talent. Middle age has not slowed Pink Floyd one bit.

A closer look at The Division Bell shows the album's ability to pierce the mind and soul. It brings to light the hopes, dreams, confusions, and sorrows that are very real to all of us. In The Division Bell, P i n k F l o y d s e e k s out humanity's faults and exposes them to the listener so that he may not make the same mistake in his own life.

The Division Bell is a relaxing yet soul awaking album. It is sure to take you to a different plane of consciousness as many Pink Floyd albums do. Those diehard Roger Waters fans may find this album hard to swallow without him included, but I assure you there is hours of listening enjoyment in the toll of The Division Bell.

MOVIE REVIEW

Threesome m a k e s f o r a disastorious love t r i a n g l e

by Brian Calandra movie reviewer My biggest pet peeve with the film industry is the tell-all preview.

Nothing annoys me more than seeing basically an entire film in about one minute. Every so often, however, a film comes along, like last fall's Malice, which has a trailer that reveals absolutely nothing about its film. Andrew ¥\tm\i\£sThreesome definitely fails to reveal its true storyline through its preview., and though I was suiprised by what confronted me on screen, this lack of reliance on a exhaustive preview provides its only positive element.

Threesome tells the story of Eddie, Stuart, and Alex, three college students living together in a dormitory suite. The only catch, Alex is a girl, and through a computer error she must share a bathroom with the two boys. Not surprisingly.

they all get along wonderfully, with Stuart, played by Stephen Baldwin, desperately trying to ride the gravy train o ' love with Alex, played by Lara Flynn Boyle; while she futilely, yet vigorously, attempts to s e d u c e E d d i e , played by Josh Charles.

Stuart appears to want Eddie to sleep with her at least as much as he does, and c a n ' t understand why Eddie does not take advantage of his situation. Well, here is where the movie attempts to delve into rich thematic material. Eddie is gay, and very attracted to Stuart (Are you getting all of this?). What follows is the extrapolation of this love triangle with everyone sleeping with everyone, except for Stuart and Eddie.

This film has so many problems that it often becomes difficult to tell them apart. There are no supporting actors to speak of; the film deals

solely with the interaction of the three leads. Partway through the film you begin to wonder exactly why in the world you would want to sit'and watch three pathetically boring people sit around and talk about sex.

It would help if they had something interesting or reflective to say about or to each other, but this script, also by director Fleming, totally misses the boat. It raises questions about sexuality it doesn't c o m e close to adequately answering, and then hypothesizes about how people c o m e and go in life, thus answering questions it never asks.

Most alarming is the total lack of movement. It is unclear exactly what causes this film to be unable to move from scene to scene with any fluidity, and it sits on your shoulders like a 200 pound gorilla, threatening to crush you with its pretentiousness.

Hope steals the weekend series

by Seth Dale staff reporter The weekend's three game series against Olivet gave Hope College and the Holland community a chance to come out and see the guys for the first time. Going into the weekend it appeared that Olivet was the favorite as they held a 4-2 MIAA record whereas Hope held a 5-10 record overall with limited action (1 -1) in the MIAA. Fans went home satisfied at weekend's end with the Dutch claiming two victories. In addition to the victories, players seemed to gain lots of confidence both on the hill and at the plate as they move towards mid season.

Friday's game started off shaky for Hope as Olivet plated three in the first three innings off Hope hurler Steve Schewe ('95). After retiring the first batter of the game on a lazy fly ball to left, the second hitter, Matio Villarreal drilled a single to center. Schewe hit the next batter with a pitch before getting the clean up hitter to ground into a fielder's choice, leaving runners at the corners. Villarreal didn't stay on third for long as John Fulmer took Schewe to the wall with a double. In the third inning Olivet added to their

lead with two runs on an RBI single and sac fly by Chris Hodges and John Fulmer respectively.

H o p e w a s n ' t f a z e d by the Comet's early action and answered with their own ammunition in the second and third innings.

Schewe deserved to win this one and apparently Olivet agreed as they did everything in their power to allow the victory. After a single by Chris Greiman ('96), coach Fritz called for the bunt and Chris Backus ('94) answered. With two outs the Comets elected to walk Mark Kuiper ( 4 95), one of the leagues premier hitters, to pitch lo Rob Woodrow ('94). Woodrow was also walked and the bases were now loaded for Steve Marso ('97). After a great at bat in which he fouled off four pitches Marso walked in the winning run.

The first game of Saturday's double header was the kind of game many of Hope's players needed in order to get on track for the rest of the season. Up until now the only regular hitting to potential had been Kuiper. He came into the contest with a.417 average. Kuiper continued with his offensive leadership by going 4 for 5 with two home runs

and five RBI's.

Looking at the long term picture the most important thing that came out of the weekend was the revival of Tom Osbom's (*95) bat. One of Hope's offensive stars of a year ago Osbom, was below .200 entering the weekend. With 3-4 hitting and two RBI's in game one he once again looked like the hitter that he is.

There was plenty of production from all parts of the line up as Hope compiled 16 hits and 13 runs on their way to a 13-6 thrashing.

In the early innings the game didn't look at all like it would be an offensive contest. Hope plated one in the first when J.D. Osterhouse ('94) walked and scored on an error, and one in the third as Backus('94) singled and eventually scored on a sac fly by Osbom. \ Darin Corcoran ('95) pitched well despite sloppy Hope defensive play and held Olivet to no runs through four. Backus, Kuiper, and Osbom strung together a walk and two singles that brought in two more runs for Hope and it looked as though the first game might be an easy one with Hope up four to zip.

Women split non-conference twin-bill

by Mark Maxson staff reporter The Dutch of Hope College used strong pitching and timely hitting Saturday to gain a 6-0 game two win and a split in an important nonconference doubleheader with regionally ranked St. Mary's Belles, who won the first game 4-3.

The Dutch used a four run fourth inning to support a shutout effort f r o m s o p h o m o r e p i t c h e r Keri Roelofs. With one out in the fourth.

Heather Walters ('95) and Laurie Byington('96)eachsingled. Kristen S wope ('95) then delivered a double to score the first of Hope's runs. It proved to be the only run that Roelofs would need in raising her record to six wins against two losses.

Amy Moeckel ('96) added to the lead with a single to score Byington from third to give Hope a two-run advantage. LisaTimmer ('97) would later add a two-run double in the inning to give Roelofs a 4-0 lead.

S w o p e delivered a two-run

double in the sixth inning and finished the game with two hits and three RBI's. Walters led the ten hit Dutch attack in game two with three singles.

"This was an important game for usastonot fall behind St. Mary's for a (post-season toumament) bid," said head coach Karla Walters.

The win avenged a 4-3 game one loss to St. Mary's. St. Mary's took control early, scoring two runs in

Continued from page 6 The three leads do look like they are having fun, especially during the menage a' trois sex scenes, but they all appear a bit old and mature to be portraying immature college students. Stuart Baldwin, the youngest Baldwin brother, simply is out of his league with the two better, more experienced stars, and he comes off as boorish and annoying, and 1 wonder how he managed to survive not being killed by his far more talented brothers.

The sex scenes are bungled loo, (with this effort Fleming establishes himself Hollywood's least competent director) and what has the potential to be erotic, or at the very least athletic, is instead turned into the most passionless sex recorded

on film since 1 9 9 2 ^ Damage. It is unique, if nothing else, to see Josh Charles bring Lara Flynn Boyle to orgasm by reading her Hawthorne and sporting his ten-letter word vocabulary (undoubtedly every English m a j o r ' s Penthouse letter).

Threesome, perhaps the longest 90 minutes I have ever spent, rockets to the top of my 1994 top ten worst list. An interesting premise is utterly annihilated and what is left is a crude string of stereotypes and generalizations that probably will offend homosexuals and heterosexuals alike.
