BOLD FACE LEAD-IN— Hope College’s Omnlcron Delta Kappa paired up with Residential Life to put on “Ho p e Leads.”

J to being _ _ _an _ r> question applied RAa and also to the other students at the conference. Answers from the crowd ranged from “being a posi­ tive person everyday” to “helping connect my residents together."

Then, Schoonveld asked if students were doing anything to achieve that goal. This was a very self-reflective piece of the presen­ tation, as students were asked to look into a deeper part of them­ selves and evaluate how they could impact others as a leader. “Ifyou can’tlead yourself;you cannot lead other people,” Schoonveld said.

“Our call is to be on someone’s shelf.”

This made the point that going about everyday life still needs to have impact. Reaching out to oth­ ers, even in the smallest of ways can impact a person and have them put you on their “shelf”.He exemplified this through a TED talkby Drew Dudley.

Couponing m a d e simple: college edition

C o p y E ditor

Couponing became a fad diet of the budgeting sort in 2011 with the rise of shows like T L C ’s “Extreme Couponing." Millions of viewers were attracted to just how far people will go to save a dime.

Recently, I’ve started using coupons as a way to scrimp and save with my limited grocery budget. To help other college students, I put together this list of tips for Hope students, like me, who are interested in saving some money.

Couponing can be over­ whelming and time consuming.

Tatanisha Worthey, who runs the couponing website A Mitten Full of Savings wrote a blog post that said one of the best things you can do isto begin couponing in only one store. Since Meijer is the closest big grocer to Hope, I am going to focus my tipsaround shopping there.

6.

Have a ListAlways I cannot stress this enough.

The times that I go to the store without a list,Iend up going way over budget.

With a list,you’re able to make sure that all of your coupons match up with the items you buy.

For example, Hamburger Helper recently had a coupon for $0.75 offwhen you purchase three box­ es. Hamburger Helper was also on sale at Meijer for $1 per box.

On my list,Iwrote that I needed three boxes to fulfillmy coupon.

7.

Don’t Be Afraid to Buy an Abundance There are certain items that, when on sale, are okay to buy in large quantities. Over Christmas break, I bought enough sham­ poo and conditioner to get me through at least the end of this school year, if not longer. W h y did I do this? I got a really good deal, itdoesn’tgo bad, and Iknew that Iwould use it. For items like this, itis good to go a little over­ board.

Families join Hope College Habitat Chapter for Dinner Andrew Gomez-Seoane W

C o -E d i t o r

The 1st annual Hope Col­ lege Habitat for Humanity fam­ ily dinner brought together a group of families from the Hol­ land area that have been person­ ally touched by Habitat. Student leaders from the local chapter of Habitat gathered to celebrate the local affiliate volunteers at Lakeshore Habitat and the family members who have contributed so much to the success of these home projects. A dinner and award ceremony included intro­ ductions from volunteers, who took time to share their roles at Lakeshore and the impact volun­ teering has had on their lives.

Shortly after the introduc­ tions, family members who have benefited from their Habitat homes and those who are still in the process of receiving a place to call home discussed their personal stories. Many, like the Fairbrother family, recounted the hardships that they faced on theirjourneys.

But in the end, they were not only grateful for their opportu­ nity to have a home but the op­ portunity to meet new friends in the process. Working on these homes can be a struggle in it­ self. Through rain or snow, work must continue as Lakeshore Habitat is given strict deadlines to finish their projects in order to meet grant requirements. No more is this shown than in the

commitment of Hope students to help with these projects over the years.

Hearing these heartfelt sto­ ries of sacrifice and hope that students have brought to these families some student leaders in attendance could not help but feel humbled. Incoming vice president of the Hope College ^Habitat Chapter, Connor Smith f(T5) remembers the impact the family members had on him.

"It’s events like these that re­ minds me about how seemingly small acts can touch the lives of bthers in unfathomable ways. earing all the families life sto­ les about how Habitat for Huinanity has changed their lives is a testimonial to this. I felt ex­ tremely humbled to be in their presence," he said.

■ Notably, family members such as Dan Young were one of many success stories that night.

As a homeowner for more than 20 years, he exemplifies the in­ credible impact that owning ones home can have on their life.

Ascending beyond life’s chal­ lenges, he has created a better life for his family and in the process inspired countless others to do the same. Even today he works as a volunteer with Lakeshore Habitat to help those who are applying for their future home.

In his spare time he is more than willing to lend a helping hand for those who need itmost.

Look for Freebies There are a couple of ways you can get freebies. One way isto combine sales and coupons.

For example, lip balm might be on sale for buy one, get two free.

Ifthe lip balm is$1, and you have a coupon for $0.50 off, each lip balm will cost $0.17. Although this isn't technically free, its close to it. Couponers consider this deal a freebie.

9.

Combine Sales Whenever possible, go gro­ cery shopping when other deals are happening. Meijer often has 10 items for $10, and the 11th item is free. The last time they had this deal, there was also an mPerks offer for 5 percent back on all of your grocery and per­ sonal care items. Plus, I had coupons. I ended up saving al­ most $30, which was about 32.5 percent of my purchase, by com­ bining these deals.

10. Coupon with a Friend Does couponing still seem daunting? Find a friend to do it with you, and make it fun!

Sometimes two brains are bet­ ter than one, if you’re trying to decide how to combine coupons to get the best deal. Personally, wouldn’thave gotten interested in couponing, if it hadn't been for my mom. Encourage your friends to do ittoo.

Couponing doesn't have to be intimidating, boring or time con­ suming. Know what your goals are, and then you’ll know how much effortyou want to dedicate to it. The beauty of couponing is that you can tailoritto to fityour needs.

Ban on export of Intel chips to Chinese supercomputing facilities Computing companies in China have been k n o w n to be a source of cyber attacks on the U.S. government John D o o d G

riter

In a rule change made effective on February 18, 2015, four Chinese supercomputing facilities have been placed on a blacklist for receiving exports from the United States. This serves as a blow to the computer company Intel, as the processor giant was planning on selling chips destined for the Tianhe-2 ¥tij3ercornputer. This upgrade would have increased its computing capacity four fold.

Supercomputing has become an increasingly important tool for scientific research as over the last 10 years, the speed at which a computer can do one thing has plateaued due to heat and size restrictions. This has led to the development of parallel computing technologies including supercomputers.

Much research has also gone into the development ofsoftware for these supercomputers with applications from determining metabolic pathways to predicting the outcome of an atomic bomb. The power contained in supercomputers has led to worry among U.S. executives about potential threats to national security.

The Tianhe-2 computer,

which performs calculations at a rate of 34 petaFLOP/s, has been at the top of the charts for speed since June 2013. Previous upgrade plans for the Tianhe-2 system would increase its performance to 110 petaFLOP/s.

This is set to be surpassed by the Aurora supercomputer at 180 petaFLOP/s and the Summit supercomputer at 300 petaFLOP/s. Lists of the worlds fastest supercomputers are maintained by the TopSOO organization. Twice a year TopSOO publishes lists of the specifics of computing hardware used and the speed of the 500 fastest computers.

According to the Department of Commerce report, the four Chinese facilities which house several supercomputers beyond the Tianhe-2, have engaged in nuclear explosive activities. It is U.S. policy to forbid the export of products that aid in the proliferation of nuclear weapons. Intel filed for an export license for the chips and had their request denied because of the listing of the supercomputing sites on the Export Administration Regulations Entity List.

While losing the opportunity to sellthe chips forthe Tianghe-2 upgrade, Intel is’ by no means losing its economic position,

Tianhe, which m e a n s milky way, is 1.4 times faster than Cray XT5 Jaguar, the n o w second fastest supercomputer In the United States China is building s o m e of the world’s fastest supercomputers with the goal of asserting itself as a global technology power. But strict import bans on American chips has thwarted this goal. being the chief supplier for the Aurora supercomputer as well as bringing in 94. percent of revenue made in processor sales.

Critics of the ban have said that while it will in the short term disrupt the upgrade of the supercomputer, it will lead

to more rapid development of foreign alternatives to Intel’s chips. They say this will lead to reduced foreign dependence on American computing hardware and likely reduce the effectiveness of measures like these in the future. This could

also weaken the United States position in the computing sector leading to a loss in economic position of the nation. Others have stated that numerous shell companies could easily be used to buy the chips and deploy the cluster as planned.

GLOBAL POPULATION INCREASES— The chart shows changes in population by country including births, deaths and Immigration. The highest rates of population growth are con­ centrated In m a n y of the poorest nations..

Today the world’s population is growing by about 1.2 percent per year with 97 percent of this growth taking place in nations classified as undeveloped.

The worlds fastest growing countries, largely concentrated in Africa, are also its poorest.

Rest assured that as more countries develop functioning markets and responsible government institutions, the overall rateofpopulation growth will continue to decline One should therefore be cautious of policies intended to avert an impending, yet repeatedly absent, population Armageddon. Such solutions often create much greater problems of their own. Take for instance China’s “one child policy,” which has led to gender selection abortions on a scale never before seen. Chinese couples choosing to abort female

fetuses because the higher societal costs of a daughter have created a real-life dystopian future for many young Chinese.

There are currently 32 million more Chinese boys under the age of 20 then there are girls, meaning many of these young men have no realistic chance of ever finding a spouse. The policy has also worsened the lives of many women as prostitution and sexual exploitation has exploded in the country, no doubt fueled to unfilled demand.

If history proves itselfcorrect population growth won’t lead to a dystopian future, but wrongheaded “solutions” might. Let’s focus our resources on encouraging economic development and good governance and let families decide for themselves how many children make sense.

have any worries on his mind while he’s sleeping.

Educated atKnox College and the University ofDenver, Dr. Jack Holmes, professor of political science at Hope College since 1969, is a Very distinguished member ofthe Hope faculty. The winner of six awards including

various fellowships along with delegation to the Republican National Convention and the father to thirteen research projects and publications, Dr. Holmes has an uncanny resume filled with phenomenal achievements.

As an incredibly experienced professor who is about to retire, he did not get a chance to give a speech as part of the Last Lecture series. When asked what he would talk about, if given the chance, Holmes, without hesitation, said, “I would tell all my students to get involved and see the bigger picture. Take longer-term views, and never pass on opportunities.

Most importantly, be actively concerned about the peace; conflict is not a solution.”

Holmes has a lotofexperience with peace and conflict. He worked as a research assistant at the Pentagon, investigating internal politico-military affairs.

After this position, he served as the district assistant to U.S. Representative Don Brotzman and consulted on foreign policy, education and environmental affairs.

At Hope, Holmes, along with colleague Dr. Robert Elder, founded the Washington Honors Semester, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.

Holmes believes

that experiential learning and practice are two necessities for political science students.

Holmes has also helped students get internships through the various connections he has made throughout his career.

Along with being helpful towards students, other Hope faculty members describe Holmes as a problem solver. Dr. Annie Dandavati, also of the political science department, said that Holmes handled all of the problems very gracefully while hiring the first female professor forHope who would be on a tenure track. This professor happens to be Dandavati herself.

"Dr. Holmes personifies concern for students and puts great emphasis on their well­ being. He is a wonderful role model as an influential teacher and an academic professional,” she said.

Now, even though I (Ozer) have not had him as a professor forvery long, Ican easilyidentify him as patriotic, hardworking and caring. Holmes might not have touched all of our lives directly by a class, yet every time I see him around Lubbers, with that concerned look on his face, I always feel more optimistic about our future. Knowing that there are people out there who are willing to work hard, turn the wrongs into rights and fix what

Rain or shine, the residents of Wyckoff Hall at Hope Col­ lege know how to have a good time. The second annual Wys­ tock Music Festival, which has a variety of musical performances both outdoors and indoors, was held last Friday despite stormy weather conditions.

The Wystock Music Festival began last year as a small event coordinated by a few resident assistants and Resident Direc­ tor Kyle VanEerden. Wystock is held in the halls, lobbies, base­ ment and outdoor courtyard of WyckofF Hall on the south side ofHope’s campus to promote lo­ cal and amateur talent.

Bands were recruited and or­ ganized into playing locations and schedules by Zach Makowski (17), who divided bands into separate locations based on at­ mosphere.

“Wystock gets the Hope pop­ ulace interested and gives local amateur bands and opportu­ nity to strut their stuff in either a more laid back setting like the lobbies or a more rock-focused setting, like outside," said Makowski.

Other resident assistants (RA’s) were involved in orga­ nizing the event, as well. Julian Morrison (17) garnered sup­ port from Hopes Student Ac­ tivities Committee (SAC) to en­ sure sound equipment for each band playing in the event, while Jordan Kalsbeek (16) teamed up with local businesses, such as Biggby, for beverage and re­ freshment donations. Richard Medina (17) and Rebecca Favlock (17) were responsible for event publicity.

However, most of the work was done as a team during weekly R A meetings, according to Makowski. The staff is proud of their work and looking for­ ward to next year already.

“W e are trying to create a culture of acceptance and peace.

It is trying to be an event that gives everyone a chance to play music and have fun. It focuses around good vibes: peace, love, and Wystock,” said Makowski.

“W e continued the tradition this year and are hoping that itkeeps on going for years to come.”

This is one of the first events of its kind on Hopes campus.

While SAC hosts weekly coffee­ houses and a yearly talent show, no other musical showcase has been hosted on campus by a dormitory. Not only that, but Wystock specifically attracts students that consider themselves-and are considered by others-as “hipster," according to Makowski.

Bands and artists that per­ formed at Wystock included: Jack Miller, 5 Dollar Fine, Lane Ellens, Matt Rolain, Oswaldo Gallegos, Phelps Band, Gra­ ham Hopstock, Allyson Schnell, Great Fish, Maddie Auriemma, Sons of Vibe, Jacob Jackson and Jamie Clark. Artists performed in 45 minute timeslots between 2 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. either out­ doors or in one of Wyckoff s lounges.

Halfway through the event, it began to rain and the crowds had to be moved inside.

“Everyone was supportive and just in good spirits. Then, when itrained, people didn’tget bummed out but they banded together and we successfully moved the whole mainstage pro­ duction to the basement," said Makowski. “Itjust gave a totally new feel to the whole event.”

Audience members huddled in the Wyckoff basement and even sat on the floors when the space ran out of seating.

Despite the rain -and with the help ofSAC, local businesses and the general support and ex­ citement of the Hope communi­ ty -the second annual Wystock was considered a success.

Betrayals, triumphs and deaths will all be prevalent in this season, justlikethe previous four. What the viewer doesn’t know is to what magnitude they will hit the “Game of Thrones” realm.

W

riter

Hope College Theater's fi­ nal production of the academic year is “The Children’s Hour," a drama about the consequences of fear, lies and gossip.

Directed by theater faculty member Daina Robins, “The Children’s Hour” is the tragic tale of two women whose lives are destroyed by the power of a lie. The play was written in 1934 by Lillian Heilman, one of the first important female play­ wrights of the American the­ ater. “The Children’s Hour" will be performed this weekend at Hope in the Dewitt Theater at 7:30 p.m. April 17-18 and 22-25.

The play is set in the 1930s and tells the story of two w o m ­ en, Miss Karen Wright and Miss Martha Dobie, who run a board­ ing school for girls in New Eng­ land. When troubled student Mary Tilford tells her grand­ mother a lie that the two head­ mistresses are in a relationship, a string of tragic events unfolds that ruins both women's reputa­ tions, careers and lives.

While the play deals with homosexuality, its focus is on larger issues such as misplaced fear of the unknown and the serious ramifications that can come from acting out of fear and lack of knowledge, according to Robins.

“Prejudice, bias, unconscious

or conscious fear of the un­ known ...can at times make us behave very inhumanely to each other," said Robins. “It's so easy to categorize people according to a particular identity. It still boils down to individual people.

You have to know what you’re doing when it impacts people’s lives.”

The production team for “The Children’s Hour" includes fac­ ulty members Michelle Bombe as costume designer and Perry Landes as lighting and sound designer. Tessa Schultz (‘15) of Grinnell, Iowa is the scenic and properties designer with Profes­ sor Richard Smith as her faculty mentor. The stage manager for the production is Jacqueline

H o p e College chapel b a n d releases n e w a l b u m Hope Hancock C o p y E ditor

The Hope College Chapel Band released its newest album entitled “All Hail Christ” on April 6.

The band has been record­ ing approximately one album per year since 1994, making this

their 18th album, The album holds an eclectic mix of songs from traditional hymns featur­ ing the band’s string quartet to modern worship tunes and even a recording of an African piece titled “Iparadisi" by the Hope Chapel Choir.

As is tradition with the Hope worship album, itbegins with an introduction to the Gathering

by Trygve Johnson. However, the introductory music and m u ­ sic following did not draw me in as well as previous albums have. Instead, Iwas immediately struck by the muffled sounds of the vocalists and the way that the instruments overpowered the vocal leads.

I regularly attend Chapel and am very familiar with the tal­ ent on the worship team. It is a shame that the recording quality does not adequately showcase those talents. In songs like “All Hail Christ,” “Bless the Lord” and “Light a Fire,” the vocal leads and harmonies are drowned out by the band’s accompaniment.

Overlooking these technical problems, there are many new additions that should be noted

N e w concepts are often flow­ ing into television, with some ideas being accepted and grown, while others are thrown away and forgotten. As a professional fangirl, I am always on the look­ out for new T V shows to fuel my obsession and keep me occu­ pied. CBS’s “Scorpion” quickly stepped up to the plate.

Nearing the end of season one, “Scorpion" follows the ad­ ventures of a team of geniuses drafted into working for the gov­ ernment to solve world prob­ lems with their combined intel­ lect rather than force. Starring Elyes Gabel, Robert Patrick and Katharine McPhee, the events of “Scorpion" are based on a true story revolving around Walter O ’Brien, a genius hacker with a 197 IQ. O'Brien is considered the fifth smartest person in the world, even above Albert Ein­ stein.

At 13 years old, O ’Brien was able to hack into NASA's serv­ ers and download the files for the Space Shuttle Columbia, the blueprints for which he wanted to hang on his bedroom wall.

This act lead to his house being flooded with government offi­ cials who were, understandably, surprised to find a young, teen­ age boy.

Thursday

The ragtag group of mis­ fits also includes behavioral psychologist Toby Curtis, me­ chanical prodigy Happy Quinn, genius mathematician and stat­ istician Sylvester Dodd, federal agent Cabe Gallo and single mother Paige Dineen. Gallo and Dineen are the "normals” of the group. Gallo acts as the team’s government handler and links them with government resourc­ es needed to solve any cases.

Dineen acts as the babysitter of the team, helping to connect the socially-inept geniuses with the rest of the world and negotiat­ ing for them when events turn sour. While not a genius herself, Dineen’s 9-year-old son Ralph is a child prodigy and quickly warms up to the team, with O ’Brien acting as his mentor.

The pilot aired on Septem­ ber 22, 2014 and it’s still going strong. “Scorpion" was renewed for a second season in January.

Ratings for the show have been surprisingly high, according to The Wrap. “Scorpion” is said to be the highest-rated drama se­ ries on CBS network and is the No. 2 new show of the season according to total viewers.

“Scorpion" was created to be a sort of extension to “The Big Bang Theory” that is instead set in a drama-focused series. Just as the characters of “Big Bang” are cherished, the characters of

IVe never been g oo d at handling stress. Its a w o n ­ der that I have any hair left on m y head after all the hair pulling I did freshman year. However, it w a s n ’t until a sunny afternoon around midterms last semester that I realized I had* developed a serious problem. After working o n papers for two differ­ ent classes and studying for an u p c o m i n g e x a m for three days straight, I c a m e closer to a mental b re akdown than ever before.

I walked into Phelps in a daze with m y eyes bloodshot. I struggled to eat because m y a r m w a s quivering. W h e t h e r this w a s due to the a m o u n t of caffeine I had c o n s u m e d that morning or the constant state of sleep deprivation I w a s in, I’m still not quite sure. Leaving the cafeteria, I w o r ­ ried that I m a y be about to create s o m e sort of scene in front of the class that w ou ld ultimately end up with m e in handcuffs before the test was over. Exhausted beyond belief, I decided to lay d o w n in front of Phelps and tan for a little bit.

DO

—

!• D o prioritize your schedule. Evaluate what needs to be done, according to importance, and get to work. Simply starting a daunting task can help relieve stress, as well as help prevent future stress by getting the task done ahead of schedule.

Just r e m e m b e r to m a k e a realistic schedule so that you d o n ’t overburden yourself. Leave s o m e time for relaxation.

2. D o get enough sleep. It seems that w h e n given the option to either c r a m for the next day’s e x a m or get a full night of rest, m o s t college students will pick the first. However, getting eno ug h sleep can help rejuvenate your b o d y and mind, making tackling the next day’s tasks easier.

3. D o exercise. Exercising for 30 minutes, whether it be walking or playing a sport with a friend, can help you calm d o w n while providing s o m e fun and relaxation.

4. D o ask for help. If stress is really affecting your behavior, d o n ’t be afraid to ask for help. W h e t h e r you consult a close friend, mentor or teacher, talking about your problems can help you put t h e m into perspective. H o p e College also pro­ vides free services at the Counseling and Psycho­ logical Services Center (CA PS ) in Dewitt, ifyou need to talk to a professional. Y o u can schedule an appointment by calling (616) 395-7945.

Something miraculous happened to m e out in the sun that day. W h e n I finally got u p and walked into the classroom to take the exam, I was completely relaxed and ready to go. Since then, I’ve been compiling the following list of exam-time “dos and d o n ’ts,” which I h op e will help students like m e avoid stress-induced incidents in the future.

DON T - - -

1. Don't be a perfectionist. Y o u ’re not perfect, so d o n ’t put so m u c h pressure on yourself to get the perfect grade. Instead, set a reasonable standard, and learn to be ok with being ok.

2. Don't procrastinate. Avoiding the stressor is usually the first advice people give; however, this shouldn’t be applied to things school-related.

Procrastinating might help initially, but it will c o m e to haunt you in the long haul.

3. Don't use substances to help relax. Using al­ cohol, nicotine or other substances to cope with stress might provide s o m e instantaneous relief but can b e c o m e a slippery slope to addiction and other health risks. If you are concerned about your substance use, there are resources available o n the A me rican College Health Association ( A C H A ) website at http://www.acha.org/Topics/ atod2.cfm.

4. Don't isolate yourself. While it m a y be help­ ful to hide in your secret study spot from time to time, r e m e m b e r that a strong social support system can serve as a great buffer for stress.

Avoiding your friends and family for an extended period can cause you to b e c o m e depressed and feel m o r e overwhelmed. Try not to lash out your frustrations on your friends, also.

The irrationalityofbeing a runner

Austin Elluru Columnist If there’s anything I know about human beings, it’s that human beings can be extremely irrational creatures. W e wear uncomfortable clothing to look “nice,” value intrinsically worth­ less objects, get married and of­ ten allow our emotions to cloud our judgements. Not to mention having the ability to repeatedly make the same mistake while being fully aware of the con­ sequences, like letting Netflix distract you on an exam night or telling your parents what you really do on college nights (itin­ volves donuts).

Knowing all these things, it can make you wonder why I participate in a nonsensical sport of running really fast for a relatively long time on a 400M loop. Ifyou at any point encoun­ ter anyone who has toldyou that running is a fun activity, they are either lying or a maniac, in which you case you should run the other direction (ironically).

Running track is nothing but pain, being out of breath and awkward runner moments.

Each lap is just slowly wreck­ ing what little mental sanity you

have left. Each time Iwatch one of my friends run the 10K on the track, I can see him die a little bit on the inside. So to save you from making the same mistakes I have, here are some things I’ve heard over the years from differ­ ent athletes and some counter arguments.

1. Stay in shape and main­ tain a healthy lifestyle: I could probably spend the halfthe time and effort with any other recre­ ational activity and stillbe phys­ ically fit, not to mention having a social life.

2.

Eat whatever I want: While it's true, running a ton will give you a littlemore leeway in what you could eat, it mostly just makes you hungry all of the time, especially at 2 am., when the food options are limited, and your roommate begins to smell strangely tasty.

3.

Runner’s high is legit: I’m pretty sure that this is just an urban legend similar to the tunnels under campus or sociol­ ogy being an applicable major.

Most of the time, it is just a lot of pain in your legs and feeling out ofbreath, and ifyou’re lucky, not being able to feelanything at all... then pain.

4.

Camaraderie and friendships are worth it: The people on the team...I mean they’re alright.

5.

Running impresses the ladies: It’s rather hard to impress anyone when the only people who show up to your events are other runners. That being said, I do have impressive gluts now.

Grace Fowler Guest Columnist As a college student, I am very aware of my budget and how much money I spend on a daily basis. I am careful to save what Imake and try to find deals when there are sales. Every time there is an event advertised on campus that says there will be food provided, I do my best to at least make an appearance. On a daily basis, I am usually pretty good about not spending crazy amounts of money, but when it comes time to buy books for the semester, I find myself becom­ ing nauseous when I enter the bookstore.

- - - o and stress m a n a g e m e n t

Hannah Pikaart Voices Editor I feel no fear, and that my friends is scary. I don’t feel any impending doom, as finals week swiftly draws nearer and nearer. You could say I feel “gucci.” While my cluster mates attend last minute group meet­ ings and write final papers. I am slowly but surely accom­ plishing my last few projects, which include a Japanese oral and written exam, a final Eng­ lish 113 paper about sexual as­ sault, an e-portfolio, a commu-

nication exam, a film analysis paper, a demonstration speech, a statistics final presentation and exam. H o w am Inot freak­ ing out?

Now, I'm not an expert (Iam only a freshman), but I firmly believe that sleep is key! Don't pull all-nighters, but get the recommended seven to eight hours of sleep a night. I know this seems like a waste of valu­ able studying time, but study instead ofwatching “Pretty Lit­ tleLiars" or “Game ofThrones.”

Memory is key for any and all exams, so make sure you stay hydrated! Drink lots of wa­ ter, not pop or an energy drink.

Add a littlelemon for an added health boost.

M y last tip is to talk to someone. Whether that isGod, a parent, or a friend, talking about your problems releases stress.

It is a na­ tional youth movement, bring­ ing attention to the silence faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people. Please understand my reasons for not speaking today. M y deliberate silence echoes the silence that is caused by anti-LGBT+ bullying, name-calling and harassment. I believe that ending the silence is the first step towards building awareness and making a com­ mitment to address these injus­ tices. Think about the voices you are not hearing today.

I am writing in response to the article “IntoleranceAgainst Religious Freedom” included in the April 8th issue. I feel compelled to respond because Idon't think itserves our campus. And no, Ido not write this because Idisagree with the opinion ofthe author. In fact, I would relish the opportunity for this issue to be fairly and intelligently discussed on this campus. Unfortunately, this article was the farthest thing from a rational or honorable conversation.

First of all,the article completely overlooks the facts sur­ rounding the situatioain Indiana; while itistrue many states have passed legislation modeled afterthe federal Religious Freedom Res­ torationAct, Indiana’s version contained two key differences. Unlike any ofthe other state RFRAs, SB101 included language that allowed for-profit corporations to use religious freedom as a defense against private lawsuits from individuals. The original federal law and all of the similar state laws are meant to protect religion from governmental oppression; this shift in purpose was understandably upsetting to those against whom religion would inevitably take a stand. Yes, in the face of the protestations, many argued that the purpose of the bill was not to discriminate— but several of the bill’s proponents claimed otherwise.

The article also claimed that very few instances of homo­ sexual discrimination occur at all, which seems to be pulled out ofthin air.The Leadership Conference on Civil & Human Rights reported “widespread discrimination across the country against gay men and lesbians” in the areas of employment, housing, public restaurants, health and insurance services, and education. Take a look at countless other studies.And those are only the reported cases.

I know this articlewas an opinion piece,but Iwould’ve ap­ preciated not only a fact-check, but also an examination ofthe logic being used. Ifthe argument isthat the bill istruly meant only to protect Indiana’s religious freedom, then why engage in such vicious ad hominem arguments? Phrases like “vitriol and hysterical backlash ofthe mainstream media and their gay activist allies” and “leftistgay activists screech bloody murder” are unkind, unsupported, and unhelpful. Ifind itodd that the article claim these “radicals” claim a “false moral high ground” while constructing an argument that shoves itsown views to a high ground using logical fallacies.Also, using such exaggerated and inconsiderate language makes the call to action for the LGBT commu­ nity laughable.

Finally, the article facetiously compares the media’s reaction to a legalization of slavery. Of course, the statement ishyperbolic, and Iwould be the firstto admit the plight of the LGBT community isn’t identical to that of racial minorities. However, the similarities begin to rack up when you consider such cases as Newman v. Piggie Park, a Supreme Court case in which Maurice Bessinger argued he could cite religious freedom as a viable defense for refusing to serve African Americans at his barbecue joint.

1 agree that religious freedom is ofthe utmost importance in our country, but I’d also challenge you to consider how the use of re­ ligion to accomplish such things as discrimination may ultimately end up hurting everyone.

Women's lacrosse triumphs Cullen Smith SmSth S taff W

The Hope College women’s lacrosse team faced off against the Kalamazoo Hornets in a tense weekend home game. Go­ ing into the game, there was an atmosphere of tension be­ tween both teams, as both were evenly matched in M I A A league and overall records. Before the match, Coach Kim Vincent gathered the team around in a huddle and said, “The team that wants thisgame more isgoing to win it."Despite the challenge set before them, the Flying Dutch performed exceptionally well, outscoring their opponent 13-8 to remain 2-1 in M I A A play.

From face-off to the end of the first half, the Flying Dutch took their time in establish­ ing effective strategy. Shots re­ mained nearly even throughout much of the first10 minutes, un­ tilan offensive shift kicked in for the Dutch. Scoring was ignited late in the 18th minute, after a goal by senior midfielder Molly Greenfield (T5). With the lead established, the Dutch quickly organized offensive and defen­ sive dominance against their opponent. By the end of the half, the Dutch had scored twice more, leading the Hornets 3-1, both goals coming from sopho­ more midfielder Dana Kym (J17).

The half gave the Flying Dutch time to reorganize their offensive and defensive efforts,

,r .. r— r— S By the end of the second h alf, it was clear that readjustment was successful. Almost immediately following face-off, Greenfield (15) scored three times within a three-minute span. Greenfield’s goals initiated a shooting gallery for the Dutch, who maximized their offensive potential to net an additional four goals.

With seven unanswered goals on the board, the Hornets ral­ lied with strong defensive strat­ egy, opening up their offense to pressure the Flying Dutch net.

Kalamazoo was able to put five additional goals on the board, creeping up on the Dutch with a four goal deficit late in the pe­ riod.

With a final push by the Dutch, they were able to stave off their opponent, responding with two goals from Greenfield and an additional goal from se­ nior midfielder Makensie Bortell (15) to seal the victory for the P hoto by R ob K urtycz Flying Dutch.

Softball continues winning ways Kyle Bernaclak C o -Sp o r t s E ditor

The Hope College softball team played a pair of games on the road this weekend against the Britons of Albion College.

In the first game of the doubleheader, the Flying Dutch took down Albion 11-1 then 14-4 in the nightcap. These two wins allowed the Dutch to continue their win streak, which is now 11 straight.

“W e needed to just take one game at a time and play our game,” Sierra Mutschler (18) said.

Hope’s ace, Sydney Jones (18), took the mound during the first game. Going into the matchup, Jones was 5-2 on the year and dominant in each of her performances. The Dutch’s potent offense allowed Jones to pitch with ease right from the time she stepped on the mound, considering they were able to score three runs in the top ofthe first inning. Julie Sobieski (15), Mutschler and Hayley Reitsma (18) all drove in runs in the first frame. This power put Hope ahead 4-0.

The second inning was much like the first. Becca Phillips (15) started the offensive charge with an RBI single. Sobieski hit a monster three-run home run, which silenced the Britons.

Then, Mutschler added a solo home run to dead center field.

There was only an inning and a half in the books, and the Dutch were already ahead 9-0. At this rate, allthey had to do was score another run and the game would be over after five innings due to the mercy rule.

Again, in the third inning, there was pressure from the Hope offense. This time Autumn Anderson (16) scored on a wild pitch. In the top of the fourth, the Dutch added an insurance run as Jenna Maury (16) singled, which scored Reitsma. With an 11-0 lead, Coach Mary WandeHoef's team were confident in their firstgame of the afternoon.

In the bottom of the fifth, the Britons threatened slightly with an RBI single to right field. H o w ­ ever, the Dutch were able to re­ tire the final out and went on to the 11-1 victory.

Jones pitched three scoreless innings and recorded five strike­ outs. Katie Singer (18) threw the final two innings and struck out an impressive five batters.

Reitsma, Sobieski, Phillips and Anderson all had a pair of hits during the contest. In addition to Sobieski’s two hits, she drove in 5 of Hope’s 11 runs.
