Local bands go green at Earth Jam

by Jeanette Petkus staff reporter Earth Jam '95 brought reminders of Woodstock to campus, minus the nudity and hallucinogenic substances.

For six hours Saturday afternoon, students and community members filled the Pine Grove rocking to live music. The Hope College Environmental Issues Group sponsored live bands in celebration of the environment.

Surrounding the performance stage, students could be seen playing frisbee, rollerblading, dancing, and sitting in the sun enjoying the afternoon atmosphere.

"It was great to have outdoor entertainment and to congregate outside with no specific plans," said Nathanael Buckley ('97).

Students congregated on blankets and sat on the grassy hill to

Students rev up Saturday night at drive-in Students eat up Fiesta

But hundreds of Dutchmen turned out to do just that at the oldfashioned SAC Drive-ln Saturday night.

Students lined up their cars under the stars in the Holland Municipal Stadium parking lot and cranked their stereos to 650 AM to listen to the wise words of Forrest Gump.

For Mike Yantis ( ' 9 5 ) and Rachel Karpanty ( ' 9 6 ) , unobstructed vision was the key to drive-in perfection. The couple arrived an hour and a half before showtime in Yantis' wood paneled '83 station wagon lovingly dubbed "the Cruiser" to park in the front row. They then took off in Karpanty's car for dinner and returned to the Cruiser just before the previews.

by Carrie Tennant staff reporter Even as Jovo's Dogs rocked the Pine Grove Saturday afternoon, a "fiesta" in the Casa Espanola (van Schaack Cottage) spilled over into the street with loud salsa music and dancing.

"The party was a complete success," pronounced Maria Hernandez, Spanish native assistant. "Even though there were a lot of people in the Pine Grove [for Earth Jam], we had a crowd here. I think that people really enjoyed the salsa dancing outside," she said.

Hernandez, who hails from Gran Canada in the Canary Islands, a Spanish territory off the coast of North A f r i c a , also danced the salsa at "Images," Hope's recent international bazaar and variety show. On Saturday, she instructed amateur Hope students in the energyfilled art.

in Spain a couple of times and seen people salsa-ing in the street there as well."

Many celebrants praised the authentic food served as well, which ranged from tempting Spanish bocadillos (small sandwiches) to the familiar chips and salsa.

"Magnifico!" enthused Cindy Voorhees ('96). "1 loved the music, the dancing, and especially the food...the food was phenomenal."

Others also enjoyed the opportunity to learn about the Spanish culture through the event.

"I learned a lot about Spanish culture just through the food and the dancing and talking with Maria [Hernandez] and Carmen [her sister, who is visiting the U.S.]."

"1 think that any international festival introduces people to other rhythms, other food, other cultures....and that is always good," Hernandez said.

"We believe that in diversity there is strength."

After spending last semester in Salamanca, Spain, Laura Baker ('96), didn't plan on another studyabroad program. But she received surprising news that changed all that, thanks to a scholarship application that she was sure she had mailed in vain.

Baker recently learned that she was the recipient of a $1400 scholarship for a four-week program in Cuernavaca, Mexico, she is the first Hope student ever to win this honor.

Given through Sigma Delta Pi, the national Spanish honor society, the scholarship was one of only 18 awarded nationwide. Baker was initiated last spring into Epsilon Pi, Hope's chapter of the society.

"This scholarship was a surprise for me," Baker said. "I really didn't think that I'd get it. I already studied abroad, and I wasn't planning on going anywhere else...but now, I'm so excited about the opportunity."

"There are many scholarships available for foreign study," said Ann Marie Brown, professor of Spanish, in a congratulatory Email. "We think our students are definitely qualified for the scholarships that are out there, and Laura Baker has proved that."

Baker waded through the application process in January at the suggestion of Professor Herbert Weller, Epsilon Pi advisor. This "exten-

'Assassination' gives Greeks license to kill

by Jodi McFarland features editor Dorian sorority m e m b e r Heather Bair ('97) lay peacefully about to doze off in her cottage Monday night when she was assassinated. "I've got to kill you," her Centurian perpetrator told her before he stuck her with a sticker.

Dorians and Centurians are on a manhunt for each other, thanks to the Assasination Game, a challenge between the sibling Greek organizations 'til the death.'

The game kicked off at 8 a.m.

Monday morning, with each member given the name of some one from the other organization to 'kill' by marking them with a round red, yellow, green or blue sticker.

"The first day is always a bloodbath," said Centurian Josh Hegg ('95).

Once some one has been killed, their murderer must then knock off the person to whom they were assigned. The object: to be the last player left 'alive.'

"I wasn't able to kill anyone because he found me first," Bair said. "It's fun if you get into it. It

forces you to get to know a lot of people."

Leah Hesse ('97) has already made her first kill, Ben West ('95), in Phelps Cafeteria, and is now in hot pursuit of her next victim.

"I have to kill who he's supposed to kill," she said. "It's a circle until there's only one person left."

Besides the assassination of peers, the object of the game is to increase the comfort level of members of the groups with each other outside the planned social event setting. An attempt to pit members

Brumler Apartments to go co-ed in fall Two student social work projects awarded funding

by Jodi McFarland features editor

For a quarter of a century, Brumler Apartment Number 10 has been home onlyjo female students, but all that is about to change.

Thanks to its new co-ed status, the single sex apartment building will be home to male and female students for the first time this fall since the college received it.

Due to a crunch for male apartments discovered at the end of apartment draw, assistant director of housing and residential life Derek Emerson decided to offer one open apartment in the building to a group of four male students.

"I had been looking into making Brumler co-ed for the following year," Emerson said. He sent a letter to Brumler's 1995-96 residents requesting a phone call if anyone preferred the building to remain open only to women.

No one called to complain, and the letter in fact received positive response.

'Three groups called to say that it was fine with them, which I didn't even ask," Emerson said. While only apartment 10 will house male students next year, housing anticipates that the division will be more equal in years to come.

Brumler Apartments were a gift to the college in 1969 by Fifth Reformed Church of Grand Rapids.

BRING ON THE BOYS: Women only Brumler Apartments, located on 13th St., will house a group of men for the first time next fall.

While confusion shrouds whether the church requested that the residence house only women, or if single sex status was actually a suggestion by the college, Emerson had to gain permission before the change was implemented. The building was received before the days of widespread co-ed housing on college campuses.

"We might have even suggested it because of our need at the time," said vice president for advancement Bob DeYoung. The present hous-

ing needs have changed since then, De Young said.

"I think it's about time that they opened it up because 1 thing it's kind of unfair that they have all girl apartment (buildings) and not all guys," said Brad Laskowski ('97), one of the four men to live in the apartment next year.

As a result of the change, he will have an o n - c a m p u s apartment whereas he would otherwise have been left to find alternative campus housing.

For the sccond year in a row, two Hope College social work classroom projects have become implemented, one-year programs through support from the Michigan Campus Compact (MCC).

One group of students has been organizing group activities and purchased supplies for the Higher Horizons "Big Brother/ Big Sister" program. Another has coordinated a "homework club" for students at Van Raalte Elementary School in Holland.

Both p r o j e c t s began in a Hope social work class in the s p r i n g of 1994, w h e n Deb Sturtevant of the college's sociology and social work faculty had her students learn about nonprofit grant writing by developing their own proposals.

T h e Higher Horizons and homework club proposals were u l t i m a t e l y s u b m i t t e d to the Michigan Campus Compact (MCC), a coalition of colleges and universities that focuses on creating voluntary community service opportunities for students. MCC funded both, enabling them to get underway with the beginning of the current, 1994-95, school year.

Titled "Extending Our Horizons," the project with Higher

Horizons has involved providing a variety of organized, group activities for the Big Brother-Little Brother and Big Sister-Little Sister matches coordinated through the program. Activities have included a Halloween party, a hay rideas shopping spree coordinated with the Jaycees of Holland and dog sledding. The grant also helped establish an activities room with games and arts and crafts supplies at the Higher Horizons office on east 15th Street.

Hope senior Aleesha Shook of Midland, who coordinated the project, has been pleased with the response.

"We had evaluation sheets, and they were all really positive," she said. "A lot of times in the winter especially, the 'Bigs'can't come up with as many ideas for things to do, so they were really happy that there were set, planned activities that they didn't have to think up," she said.

Shook noted that Higher Horizons has m a t c h e d a p p r o x i mately 90 children with Big Brothers or Big Sisters. About half of the 4 Bigs,' she said, are Hope students; the rest are from the Holland community.

Gospel Choir spreads Spirit

by Becky Ponka staff reporter The Gospel Choir sang praises to the Lord last Thursday, drawing a full house in Dimnent Chapel.

They began liie program with How Majestic and then moved on to a weather theme. They performed the song Summertime followed by It's Gonna Rain, during which the choir used umbrellas as props. They concluded the first half with a moving rendition of Teach Me, Oh Lord. Based on Psalm 119:3334, this verse asks God to teach His people to be understanding so that we are able to observe His laws.

The Creation was the first piece of the second half and consisted of a dramatic reading done

by Robert Johnson and a descriptive dance performed by Sophia Williams ('Q?). The duo captivated the audience with their precise motions and colorful words. Johnson is a long time friend of Gospel Choir director Darnisha Taylor and her family.

Another dramatic reading was the focus of Go Down Death which describes God commanding an angel to go down to the earth to claim His people and bring them back to heaven. This reading served as a bridge to Ride On King Jesus, which is a popular tune among the crowd and is often performed by the' choir. The song which is in slow march style tells a moving story of Jesus and His mission here on earth.

Johnson took the stage once more, as he sang a beautiful solo piece entitled Deep River. The gospel choir concluded their concert mih Joyful, Joyful which is a medley of pop songs with religious words that was arranged for the movie Sister Act II. The concert earned a standing ovation and wrapped up the Gospel Choir concert season with great success.

Students lament in German Requiem

by Sufjan Stevens arts & entertainment editor

"

Dimnent Chapel provided an appropriate gothic environment for t h e c o m b i n e d c h o i r s ' and s y m p h o n e t t e ' s p e r f o r m a n c e of Brahms' emotional German Requiem. The choir's morbid black attire, the dark tuxes and dresses designing the orchestra, and the German texts of the work, were all back-dropped by a melancholy blue in the chapel's brooding stain glass to create a complete setting I'jr the work.

The first section inc l u d e d texts f r o m Matthew and the P s a l m s , emphasizing the beatit u d e style of t h e N e w Testam e n t: "Blessed are they who carry sorrow/for they shall be comforted.

This enlightening p r o m i s e was preceded by a musing base note on the organ, which provided an ominous undercurrent in the somber opening of the work.

The orchestra stripped it's tone to a bare minimum, complete with muted strings, mollified winds, and a thoroughly plaintive score. The choir entered with a large sound of windy foreboding, mixing well with the colors of the orchestra.

The second section contrasted in style and tempo. The fluid, somber drones framed by dismal texts, slowly developed into a rigorous, march-like funeral procession. The rhythmic qualities were instigated by the repeated pattern in the timpani, which carried the march into a sometimes sporadic disarray of

flourishing screams and boisterous mixes of orchestra sounds. The sometimes strenuous minimal patterns of sound were occasionally choked by abrupt climaxes. These changes in constancy provided an assembly of fruit and floral images in the text. Scriptures characterizing the fluctuation of a wild flower complemented the fluid texture of the music.

Part three provided a brilliant combination of the four interwoven vocal lines, while guest baritonist Paul Grizzel executed a remarkable

dirge-like expedition through a mass of biblical and philosophical ponderings: "Lord, teach me/ that an end to me has to be/ and my life has a goal/ and I must go away."

Such fervent requests were exclaimed with a passionate tone and wild vibrato, while the orchestra contributed with subtle emphasis by building sound and textures during climaxes. A more uplifting text supported the fourth, and most optimistic section. A dynamic praise ("How lovely are Your dwellings") heightened the dynamics of this section, The choir monopolized with majestic ciiants and an impressive mix-

ture of vocal lines. Although the shortest movement, this section provided a convenient encouragement for the disenchanted listener.

Laura Sutton Floyd, guest soprano, sparkled in crystal blue attire in her solo performance in the fifth section, a contrasting movement that an aptitude of grace and technique. Floyd poured out a mesmerizing sorrowful vibrato and subtle fluctuations in mood, while the choir contributed with a vibrant display of supporting, fluid tones.

Part six provided another demonstration of brilliant vocal potency and orchestral culminations.

The voices dominated with t h e i r loo m i n g size, maximizi n g their n u m bers and belting out s o m e rather unconv e n t i o n a l climactic maneuvers, finally b r i n g i n g the music to a fantastic contrapuntal cadenza.

The comforting conclusion in part seven circumvented traditional driving endings, bringing the text back to the beatitude device and terminating the sound with a linger "Blessed are the dead/ who in the Lord die,/ from now on./ Yes the Spirit says,/that they rest from their labor,/ for their works follow after them." The overall execution and emotion within the performance was brilliant. The combination of student ensembles allowed for a fantastic surge of sound, style and fresh talent, while director James Murrow was superb in his handling of over 200 musicians!

EDITORIAL

Student supports activity fee Dear Editor,

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK

Mellissa Endsley

"I am not the editor of a newspaper and I shall always try to do right and be good, so that God will not make me one." — Mark Twain Well, I lucked out—God did make me the editor of a newspaper, and like the swearing kid who likes the taste of soap, 1 enjoyed the 'punishment' that Twain so vehemently tried to avoid. In fact, I would do it again. Not anytime soon of course, but sometime, if I got the chance. I wouldn't do it for the same reasons though.

I wouldn't do it because it tied in with my majors, because it was a relevant work experience, or because it looks good on my resume. Instead, I'd do it for the taste of newspaper ink under my fingernails, for another chance to do cartwheels in the DeWitt Center at six in the morning, and another chance to hear my staffers sing along with Sister Sledge and her 'fam-i-ly.' Because it's not editing story after story that I'll remember, but the things that happened in between. I'll remember the glue that held the whole mess together. The sounds and smells and people w h o danced long after the stories went to bed.

Oh, the glue.

The furiously tapping fingers and incessantly chattering mouths, the disgusting, yet comforting aroma of pizza mixed with wax, and my staff, forever dancing in and out of the door.

"Here's the scoop." "Get a load of this!" "Stop the press!"

I'll remember the custodian asking, "What's the word, newspaper lady?" And my dear, sweet, sports writer w h o always, always, called me 'chief,' even when I w a s crying.

For all of these fond memories and more, I would like to thank the students and faculty of Hope College on behalf of The Anchor. Without you, there would be no news, no newspaper, and alas, no newspaper editor.

For, "We're in the same position as a plumber laying a pipe," said David S a m o f f about the media. "We're not responsible for what g o e s through the pipe."

You all have made the newspaper what it is. You have filled the pipe with great things. Telling your stories is our job, and you made our job both enjoyable and memorable. Thank you for your loyal readership and support.

I'm afraid I have to quiet my conscience on this one. Some things you can read, chuckle, and move past. The letter to the editor Feler Bose sent The Anchor and saw printed on April 19, on subsidized funding at Hope, is not one of these. I can't let this one pass because it is an ignorant tirade without research, making it unfounded.

As a member of the OPUS editorial staff, the Business Director of WTHS, and former Co-President of 2 years for Amnesty International, I have seen three organizations through 4 separate budget hearings. In short, I have observed the fiscal machinery up close, so I know precisely where the Student Activities Fee is destined to go, and how the money gets there. It is not a mysterious procedure held in a basement. In fact, any single student can attend the Student Congress Meetings and observe first-hand the methods of the "tax-collectors" themselves.

The wide variety of student organizations on campus provide entertainment, education, and a sense of participation for more than just new students on campus. Some minister to religious needs, some to social and athletic, and

some to intellectual. It seems to me that if one has a problem with a specific organization's activities, (for example, some expressed opposition to the Nykerk Competition) one can simply not participate in that activity, instead of being exempt from paying the fee as Mr. Bose suggests.

In addition to the terrible comedians, the objectionable gambling, and a pricey Milestone, our "SAC" provides for Winter Fantasia Dances, Earth Jam, picnics and concerts in the Pine Grove, Toys for Tots, Opus Jam poetry readings and the Visiting Writers Series, the adored Pull and Nykerk Competitions, free drive-in movies, "Take Back the Night," "Hope for Indonesia," sports events, and many other things. It may also surprise Mr. Bose to hear that several of the organizations earn their own moneys, adding over $200,000 total to Hope's coffer (which contributes to the entire campus) for the 1992-93 school year. These organizations are striving for independence where they can, just as the private businesses are in the outside world Bose vaguely mentions.

• Furthermore, in all areas of life there are "objectionable" folk who spout "foul" language and ideas. It is not, however, up to SAC and those who

devise budgetary guidelines to handle all complaints imaginable about all organized groups by doing away with options. If one has a complaint, he should voice it in regards to the one area which is confronting his conscience, as I am now. Writing blistering letters which abolish ALL related activities seems ridiculously drastic, implausible and impractical.

Finally, I would like to thank Hope for subsidizing its organizations. I would also like to thank Student Con' gress and its subcommittees for working through the pile-up of budgets from all of these organizations. I have personally seen many prospective students walk through DeWitt wearing impressed smiles as they are told about the abundance of student-run organizations which they can be involved in when they come to Hope. It is also a real blessing to have the newspaper editorial page subsidized by this smallish Student Activities Fee. Without it, we would have no place to raise student voices, and neither would we be able to hear the voice of our own Feler Bose.

Student questions motives of Campus Life proposal Dear Editor, During this past year, the Campus Life Board has investigated the effects of extracurricular activities on the wellbeing of students. One of the activities investigated was pledging, which they determined to jeopardize the emotional, physical, and spiritual health of students. Apparently, the Campus Life Board must think the Greek pledging program is an extreme danger to student well-being, because a resolution was recently passed to do an intensive study on pledging, with the intentions of changing the pledging process. I suggest we look at a few other extracurricular activities at Hope College.

Varsity sports place enormous demands on athletes. Many athletes have emotional stress that arises from time conflicts, hard practices, and athletic events. Physical injury is always a risk in any sport; athletes are treated for broken bones, dislocated joints, and a number of other injuries every year. An athlete can often endanger his or her spiritual life, putting a sport in front of God.

Pull is a traditional event of great intensity. Pullers and morale girls alike are under stress from time conflicts, practices, and an almost rabid desire to win. Pullers are sometimes injured, and it is not uncommon for morale girls to lose their voices from the constant yelling they must do; fatigue is also common. As for spiritual well-being, a Pull participant could easily consider it more important to rest his or her exhausted body than to go to church or chapel.

Nykerk is another traditional event at Hope College. Again, time conflicts and the pressures of memorization and perfection are placed on participants.

Physical injury is not much of a risk in Nykerk, although lost voices and lack of sleep are frequent occurrences. The spiritual health of Nykerk participants is also at risk, as it is quite possible for a tired person to skip their daily devotions for a few extra minutes of sleep, or miss church or chapel to make signs, scenery, or props.

My point is that all of these events, as well as pledging, place large risks

on the emotional, physical, and spiritual health of the students taking part in these events. The participants make decisions that being in extracurricular activities are worth the risks to their emotional, physical, and spiritual health. Considering that varsity sports last for several months, Nykerk lasts for one month. Pull lasts for three weeks, but pledging only lasts two weeks, it is unlikely that pledging is the most detrimental of these activities to a person's emotional, physical, and spiritual health. Why, then, did the Campus Life Board single out pledging to be studied intensely?

In their letter to Greek representatives, the Campus Life Board says that this is not an attempt to "eliminate or attack Greek organizations." However, the Campus Life Board investigated several extracurricular activities, and the activities above were probably some of those investigated. With this in mind, I am forced to question their motives in this resolution.

Sincerely, David Schrier ('98)

Professor addresses homosexuality in the Bible Dear Editor, In his letter to the editor published in The Anchor on February 22, Prof.

David Myers of Hope's Psychology department urged parties on all sides of the homosexual debate to move beyond the controversy, that is, "to relax—and to enjoy God's acceptance 'just as I am.'" One reason he gives for needing to do this is that "the Bible has little to say about homosexuality."

He then goes on to say that, "at the very least, it [homosexuality] wasn't a big issue for the Biblical writers."

While I have the utmost respect for my colleague, I must take issue with him and address one or two points raised in his letter to which, as far as I know, no one has yet responded.

First, the Bible in general and the New Testament in particular are very clear in their condemnation of homosexual behavior. Although there are not many such passages in the Scripture, they are explicit and unambiguous about the sinfulness of homosexuality.

It should also be pointed out that to interpret the term used in the I Corinthians and I Timothy passages as . referring "to men exploiting boys" is extremely controversial and is an innovation of late twentieth century "ex-

egesis." Indeed, the Greek language had already (for several centuries, in fact) had more than one common term expressing the concept of "men exploiting boys." It would appear, then, that this "innovative" interpretation is more tendentious than accurate.

Furthermore, to characterize the Romans 1 reference as "debated" gives what could be a misleading impression of the clarity of this passage. The Greek term used is the broadest possible one, "male with male," drawing no distinction between boy and man. This much is beyond dispute. What does appear to be debated is whether the author of the passage recognizes such a thing as homosexual orientation and thus is only condemning those who abandon their natural heterosexuality in favor of homosexual practices.-It should be noted, however, that in ch. 7 of the very same letter, the apostle Paul is well aware of the tension which exists between what a person desires to do (orientation) and what he or she actually does (behavior). To claim that the author is unaware of this tension, considering what he says about homosexuality in ch. 1, is therefore very dubious.

I would only add a final observation about what is arguably the most

important issue raised by Prof. Myers' letter. If the Bible does not speak clearly on the issue of homosexuality, then it is difficult to see how it can speak clearly on almost any issue or subject, including, for example, the notion that there is such a being as a loving God. After all, are there not many passages in the Bible that speak of God's hatred of evil and judgment upon all who oppose his purposes and that all human beings are sinful (and therefore opposed to his purposes)? Or, should we really believe that Jesus died for our sins or rose from the dead or performed any miracles? After all, neither the writers of the Gospels nor those who authored the epistles had the benefit of (our) modem technology or methods of scientific inquiry or philosophical skepticism. So then, the issue seems to be, are we going to accept as authoritative only those passages and teachings in the Bible which agree with our own ("modem" or "more sophisticated" or "more scientific") thinking and ignore those with which we disagree, dislike or are inconvenient to us? I wonder.

Sincerely, Kelly T. Osborne Associate Professor of Classics

sion of sins has widespread Scriptural support—from the baptism preached by John the Baptist, to the spreading of the Gospel in Acts, to the instruction in 1 John to confess and be forgiven and purified. Those who confess do so as a result of ultimate conviction and the need to be healed from their brokenness by their Savior—Jesus Christ.

Some of us present at that week's meetings felt the same conviction prompt us to speak, while others felt the calling to prayerfully support those in need.

Very deep and ugly sins were brought out of the closet and into the light at these meetings—this was not a fruitless exercise. A liberating effect was felt by the confessors who in the company of the visible Body of Christ - the Church - received the grace of forgiveness from God. The Body of Christ is not a group of uncaring strangers, but a family built upon the love and grace of God. Sadly, this grace is questioned by C.A.R.E. in their claims that Christians will now gossip behind the backs of the confessor and question that person's salvation. Additionally, the group presumes to make assumptions about the confessor's own feelings, namely that they feel more pain and abandonment now that they have confessed. They hold that those prayed for at the Gathering were just that—prayed for, and then left alone and forgotten. This shows a lack of faith in the healing work of God. Is His grace not sufficient for forgiveness and healing? Will He not then also send people into their lives to be of assistance, such as friends and Chaplains? In fact these concerns were directly addressed at the post-Easter meeting and a true "CARE" group was formed to provide discipleship and support on a weekly basis. Perhaps the

C.A.R.E. group criticized too hastily.

This group also shows contempt for the Chaplain staff in their letter. They openly attack the Chaplains as irresponsible, not "protecting the welfare of the students," and almost criminally coercive in their actions. They seem to sug- . gest that this "Revival" was some sort of devious master plan that the Chaplains have been plotting since their arrival in the fall. The Chaplains have devoted their lives to God's calling—a calling that is responsible, loving, and difficult. They have given of themselves in so many ways and need to be commended, not attacked. Besides, anyone who attended the meetings with an open mind could see that Ben Patterson gave ample opportunities for students to leave the meeting discreetly and by no means implied that everyone, or anyone, should come forward to confess.

Finally, the C.A.R.E group seems not to be as caring as their name implres. The questions they claim to ask are not questions at all, but veiled accusations. They point fingers in all directions at once, but what proactive steps have they taken? Hopefully, they have gotten involved with some of those who revealed their sin and hurt two weeks ago. God offers forgiveness, a new life in Christ, and a calling to follow Him. Our actions should mirror this, and not be wasted on superfluous conversation (see II Tim 2:23). Let us therefore submit ourselves to the Scriptures in a humble fashion, live in the Truth, and love our neighbor Biblically.

grace. This was not my impression at all! My sense was that God was indeed touching people in very deep, personal ways, and that most confessions were actually in response to grace. When a person is embraced by a God of perfect love, he (or she) feels free to let go of hurt and hate. He feels empowered to name the brokenness in relationships.

He feels a need to lift the veil on dishonestly and admit to noi always being faithful.

Upon leaving the mike, each student was surrounded by friends who prayed with and for them. In so doing, they testified to the power of forgiveness over sin and guilt. Their touch and prayers were further channels of God's healing grace.

A few days ago, I read some essays written by students in one of my classes. Several of them turned out to be very personal. They revealed pains and struggles, masks and brokenness.

I felt it was a distinct privilege to be invited "inside." I also realized, more than ever before, how much lies below the surface of our students' lives—great gifts, deep yearnings, cries for help...

At a Christian college, we should be glad to see the hand of God touching many students at these deeper levels. I know I am. And I pray for much more.

In fact, 1 believe that we in the faculty and administration could use the kind of mask-lifting reconciliations which many students are experiencing.

I believe that God does break into the muddle of ordinary life with healing, correction, insight, challenge, and

joy. 1 have seen it happening all year, and in a special, concentrated and public way over several evenings last week.

That part was new at Hope College. But then, who would like to be the one to tell the God of Creation, the God of the cross and Easter resurrection, the God of the prophets and mystics, the God of Martin Luther King Jr. and St. Francis of Assisi, to limit God's approach to us—or our response to God— by what the world considers reasonable?

I look forward to hearing from the Chaplain's office what plans they have for follow up, continued Christian support, etc. Certainly, they are aware of the need for it; and have already taken several initiatives in this direction.

I'm glad for the questions that are being raised about the "revival," e.g. regarding the need for follow-up, the cautions about potential for abuse in public confession, the need to go beyond emotion to a Christian "walk" marked by concern for justice and mercy and the fruits of the Spirit, the need for a sense of balance (which includes meeting one's academic and other obligations, even while experiencing some pretty exciting spiritual development), etc.

Let the dialogue...and the encounters with God continue. May they replace the mistrust, jealousy, pride, and spiritual indifference which infect us all in varying degrees.

ing salvation through God. I know not everyone's pain was healed, but everyone was prayed for and now will be prayed for continuously. The chaplains went out on a limb and planned this service. It didn't have to last over thirteen hours. The revival lasted over thirteen hours because God was healing pain and we could feel it happening. A person doesn't confess sins for social reasons but for personal forgiveness from God. By admitting sins to a group of people it makes the forgiveness real because God provides the praying people to support and heal each of these person's pain.

Different people worship in different ways. In order to feel God's presence some need to sit quietly, some sing, some dance, some listen, and some use a keyboard, tambourine, organ, and guitars. As young adults we're

interested in more upbeat music. The Chaplains do an outstanding job of understanding how we like to worship.

For a couple of years chapel hasn't been popular and now it is because of the Chaplains. Worship isn't just a band playing the music we like, but prayer, inspirational words and devotion to the Lord. By providing chapel and now the meetings on Wednesday mornings for women and men separately the Chaplains are providing the next step for those who confessed their sins. Now they're out in the open and it's easier for them to be discussed. Not only can students attend these services but the Chaplains invite them to speak to them at any time. I'm thankful that the Lord provided this opportunity through the Chaplains to save so many students.

The Anchor S

m Students are required to surrender $84 a year for the Student Activity Fee, which then f u n d s all c a m p u s orgainizations. Last week in a letter to the editor Feler Bose attacked the fee, claiming it funded organizations which he opposed. Here is what Hope students had to say about it...

"Student organizations would not exist without the fee.

Can you imagine the campus without Nykerk, WTHS, The Anchor or S A C ? " — Tyler Smith ('97)-

"I think it is fine because then you don't need to worry about paying money during the year." — Peter DeYoung ('97)

"It's not really a lot to pay and there are a lot of neat activities which we get to participate in." — Heather Bair ('97)

SAY ' O U I ' TO THE FEE

I stood on the tailgate of my Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser station wagon and looked back to see cars filling row after row in the parking lot. This was the scene at the first ever SAC sponsored drive in movie at the Holland Stadium on Saturday night. The Social Activities Committee (SAC) was the organization responsible for planning this event but the rental of Forrest Gump and sound system was paid for through the student activity fee.

In addition to sponsoring the film series, SAC organizes events such as Homecoming and Spring Fling, which have both attracted a majority of students. Even though SAC traditionally receives a substantial portion, they are only one of the nearly thirty organizations that receive funding through the activity fee. Even this article would not be possible to print without the activity fee's funding of The Anchor.

The student activity fee was created for the purpose of maintaining social, cultural, political, and religious activities on campus through a variety of programs and organizations.

Every semester each full-time student is assessed the student activity fee. At the present time the fee is $42.00 a semester, which is administered by Student Congress.

Any group or organization that is recognized by the Campus Life Board may request funding through the activity fee. Such organizations include Pull, Nykerk, Gospel Choir, and the Sailing Club. The Fee helps to support the Student Union Desk and the purchase of diploma frames for the every graduating senior, as well.

Without the student activity fee, the existence of these organizations and other campus activities would not be possible. For instance, the operation of WTHS would require the underwriter, who is also a full time student, to spend at least 60 hours a week soliciting sponsors and advertisements. Additionally, students would have to pay $76.00 for the Milestone in the absence of the Activity Fee. Not to mention

the f a c t that each SAC event would cost students on average $10.00 to attend. It is by no means realistic to expect organizations to raise all the funds necessary for their operation. Requiring groups to raise their own funds would only take away from the real intention of the group.

In order for a recognized student organization to receive funding from the Student Activity Fund, it must submit a written request to the Appropriations Committee during the spring semester.

Each organization is then asked to present their request before the Committee. After hearing all the requests the Committee spend days deliberating and voting on the budget requests.

This process helps organizations prepare for the up-coming year by encouraging them to plan their events well in advance. If organizations were not required to plan their activities in this manner there would be a greater likelihood the events would not take place.

To avoid exclusion, the'Appropriations Charter dictates that all activities supported through the activity fee must be open to all students. Consequently, any student can benefit from the activity fee by taking the initiative to participate in campus activities. For this reason, I would contend that every student benefits from the activity fee.

Just as every student has the opportunity to participate in activities funded through the activity fee, they also have chance to be a member of any organization. The experiences that students involved with campus organizations receive, help to prepare them for all types of challenges they will likely encounter after graduation.

by Amy-Lynn Halverson staff reporter

"I don't care, everybody needs money." — Chris Dombrowski ('98)

"I don't think that $84 is to much to ask. If s t u d e n t orgainizations tried to raise their own money it would cause chaos and confusion." — Peter Emery ('98)

Students could be nuking away in their dorm rooms if Residential Life passes the microwave proposal recently passed by Student Congress.

Congress shipped the petition off after last week's meeting, when it was voted on by representatives.

Cosmo/Wycoff Representative Ryan Cook ('96) suggested the idea several months ago.

Since then the petition was drawn up, discussed, and finally voted on.

The proposal stresses the guidelines that students would have to follow and the rational behind the idea.

Microwaves must be 600 watts or less and will be allowed for a trial period of one year. After the year is up the proposal will be reviewed and if no problems arise the microwaves will be allowed on a permanent basis.

6 The Anchor April 26,1995

Student Congress' rational behind the proposal is that microwaves propose no more fire risk than do hot pots. Congress also felt microwaves are convenient and could improve on-campus residence life. Another point of the proposal is that currently, the microwaves located in the residence halls are old and obsolete and having them in the rooms would be no more of a sanitation problem than hotpots and coffee makers.

Microwaves will be discussed at the next Residential Life meeting. , 5QQ 90ft "'t's ^ m e ^3 has microwaves in residential halls and I hope that it g o e s through by the end of the year," Cook said.

Another issue discussed was the approval of the revisions made to the Student Congress Constitution.

The constitution is reviewed every two years by a specific committee.

see NUKE page 10

Economics 101 says, there is no such thing as a free k lunch; in other words, there is no such thing as free services. One of the myths that is generated on this campus is that things are free, but often, everything that is free is paid for by the student activity fee.

I think it is time for a new way to fund many of the organizations on campus. Presently, many organizations are getting their money from Student Congress, which in turn gets its money from the student activity fee.

This compulsory "tax" on the student body means that everyone who pays the student activity fee indirectly supports the various activities of the various organizations whether they like them or not.

For s o m e , s u b s i d i z i n g foul mouthed comedians with their anti-Christian jokes and sick sense of humor is very objectionable. For others, giving to Christian organizations is unacceptable. For yet some others, subsidizing gambling—directly or indirectly—is a sin. Support of left wing or right wing organizations is also intolerable if one is located on the opposite side. For example, the recent sponsoring of the LesBiGay seminars by the left wing Women's Issues Organization meant that everyone who opposes the seminars also sponsored it. And why does a Hope Democrat have to pay for the activities of the Hope Republicans?

From scores of examples, locally, nationally, and internationally, it can be shown that subsidized activities tend to bring in waste, lethargy, inefficiency, corruption and malfeasance. For e.g., with the blessings of Student Congress, the International Relations Club (IRC) advisor was able to manipulate IRC into funding one of her pet projects.

This was something the Appropriations Committee didn't allocate money for at the beginning of the year. The best way to eliminate

such waste and corruption locally would be to eliminate the direct subsidy from Student Congress and thereby eliminate the activity fee.

This would put the money back in students' pockets to do what they feel is right, and would save people a lot of time and energy that is unnecessarily spent in lobbying Student Congress for funding.

With the elimination of the activity fee, creative energies of various organizations would become operational to raise the necessary money. Presently, for example, Mortar Board's budget is made up of money from raffles and matching gifts, which certainly is something other organizations could do.

The various clubs, for example, could have membership fees. The Christian organizations can get support from local churches. The Social Activities Committee could charge more money for its popular activities, bring in higher quality s h o w s , and m a y b e not have a planned activity every weekend.

The Milestone could charge more for its yearbooks. OPUS doesn't need to publish wastefully and could also charge for its publications. All this plus more could be done to offset the lack of funding.

It can be argued that eighty four dollars is just a small percentage of Hope's tuition. But if one doesn't want to support unconscionable activities, then it is eighty four dollars too much. Any absolutely necessary charge of which I can see only one (overhead costs for running Student Congress), should be charged directly to the Hope bill.

This would allow for students and their parents to know where their hard earned money is going to.

Many students, I am sure, would be willing to use the money they saved from the activity fee for joining various clubs, buying The Anchor and so on. This would also eliminate having to support unconscionable activities that the entire student body is now forced to support. This is an idea, I believe, whose time has come, and 1 hope it can be implemented soon.

F. Y. I OKLAHOMA C I T Y — A nationwide manhunt continues for the second suspect in the bombing of a federal office building in Oklahoma City. Already under arrest is Timothy McVeigh, who is connected with a right wing paramilitary group known for their antigovernment sentiment. McVeigh was very vocal in his contempt for the government's assault on the Branch Davidian Compound in Waco, Texas, two years to the day before last week's explosion.

Authorities see this resentment as McVeigh's motive for the bombing. The death toll from the bombing already stands at 81, with about 150 people still unaccounted for, including many children who were in the building's day care facility.

ANAHEIM— The Justice Department is denying reports that the Japanese cult responsible for releasing poisonous nerve gas in a Tokyo subway, tried to unleash a similar attack on Disneyland over the Easter holiday. The Baltimore Sun reported that authorities stopped two Japanese men at Los Angeles International Airport who were carrying instructions on how to make the highly toxic gas sarin.

The Sun also claims that videotapes were found detailing the attack. Justice Department official Carl Stern claims,"That just didn't happen."

T O K Y O — A Japanese company has discovered the perfect way to attract women sweaty underwear. The Kanebo company says the pheremone found in underarm sweat is known to have an effect on the ladies, so they are attaching microcapsules of the chemical to the fibers of underwear. Spokesman Kazuhiro Miyoshi admitted, "I can t guarantee the effect."

Dutch tennis team defeats Albion

O F F THE WAIVER WIRE

Greg Paplawsky

by Glyn Williams staff reporter T h e Hope C o l l e g e Flying Dutch women's tennis team is approaching the end of their season with a 14-7 record and hopes of winning the MIAA, after an impressive 8-1 victory last weekend over Albion, 8-1. Next up for Hope is the last dual match of the season against Calvin College this afternoon in Grand Rapids.

The Britons traveled to the new DeWitt Tennis center not knowing what to expect, and came out defeated after a decisively sweeping victory. Number one seed doubles team of Audrey Coates ('97) and Becky Lucas ('97) were the only ones in the event to suffer a loss, 85.

Coates is the number one seed for the team as well, and with a record of 16-4 on the season, she is expecting an invitation to the national tournament. "Two of those losses she turned around and beat the person the next time she played her," said Coach Kathy Van Tubbergen. "She is a tremendous asset to our team."

The Flying Dutch is a very young team, with only two seniors, Wendy Murray ('95) and Kathleen Gingras ('95), and no juniors on

Hope sports on the road...

Softball-The Flying Dutch have posted their fourth 20-win season in five years after winning four of five games at the Augustana Invitational last weekend. Under the direction of coach Karla Wolters the Flying Dutch are 20-9 entering the final week of the regular season. They face a key test this week against arch rival Calvin who right now sits in second place in the MIAA while Hope in third. Hope will travel to Calvin to play the doubleheaderon Thursday, April 27 at 3:30 p.m. The outcome of the doubleheader will determine the seeding in the conference tournament which will be held May 5-6. At the Augustana Invitational Hope College finished in second place. Hope lost to the eventual champion Illinois Benedictine 10 in the final game. Both Hope and Illinois Benedictine are nationally ranked. Earlier in the tournament Hope defeated nationally ranked Aurora, Illinois 7-0. In the MIAA Hope is 7-3 and the Dutch are 3 games behind Alma who is in first place.

Dutchmen Tennis-Hope College did some serious damage to MIAA foes the past week by posting shut-out victories over conference rivals on the road.

The Flying Dutchmen pounded Olivet College 9-0, then proceeded to duplicate the feat a few days later at Albion. With those two victories Hope College

h

now stands at 10-5 overall on the season and they are 3-1 in the MIAA. The Dutchmen face some tough MIAA matches the rest of the way. Hope will host Calvin on Wednesday, April 26, and Adrian on Saturday, April 29. Then Hope will travel to Aquinas on Wednesday, May 3, for a non-conference match.

Women's Track-The Flying Dutch put on their walking shoes and travelled to Albion for an MIAA meet. Hope soundly defeated the host Britons 117-27. That win evened Hope's dual meet record to 2-2. The Dutch's other MIAA win came at the expense of Adrian. Hope's two defeats came at the hands of Alma and Calvin. The , s ? Flying Dutch will be in action again on Saturday, April 29, when they will be hosted by Hillsdale College.

M e n ' s Track-The Hope College men's track team did not fare as well as the women on their trip to Albion last Saturday. The Flying Dutchmen were beaten by Albion 92-62. With that loss Hope now stands at 1-3 in the MIAA. Hopes lone victory came against Adrian, with the other two losses given to them by Alma and Calvin. Up next for the Flying Dutchmen is a meet against Hillsdale College. Hope will travel to Hillsdale for the meet which commences on Saturday, April 29, at 11 a.m.

8 The Anchor April 26,1995

The end of the season means a long summer vacation for some teams, but it also means the start of the chance for a championship for others.

Everyone who made it starts over. A fresh chance. This reminds us that with every ending comes a new beginning.

The Brahms Requiem has much to teach about new beginnings. The music tells a story of a death, but in the end all is well and a sense of hopefulness for the future abounds. The old is gone. It's sad but something that is not to be lamented for long.

When a flower dies we do not cry for it. It had a longlife and made us happy while it was around. We await the day when we can gaze upon another pretty flower.

No longer will I fear the end of an athletic year. A new one is around the corner. Sometimes I think the world is sick, but nothing a ball game can't help.

Sure the NBA season is done. All that does is signal the start of the second season, the play-offs. Here every game counts and there are no second chances. Oh boy do I love them play-offs, they taste like chicken.

Joe Montana may be gone and but his deeds will be fondly remembered. This is not a truly sad thing, for nobody can play forever. It was only a matter of time before his nearly 40 year old body gave out to the extreme physical demands of the pro-game. His leaving lets the young guys take their shot at glory, they may never be as good but they are entitled to their chance.

All endings do is signal the start of something new. The Anchor may have completed its run for the year, yes it is sad, you will no longer get your weekly does of controversy.

Never fear, we will be back next year with some new faces and some old, and so will the world of sports and beyond.

Hope swept by Albion at home in weekend three game conference series

by Glyn Williams staff reporter

I

Who would have thought it?

Not me. This is the last issue of The Anchor for the year and as the ANK ends I got to thinking about other endings, endings in the world of sport, which occurred this past week.

The saddest ending of all in the world of sport was the death of Howard Cosell. He lost his long battle with cancer and shall be missed, not only for his personality, but also for his views he brought to sport.

Howard told it like it was and was not afraid to take a controversial stand. He backed Muhammad Ali when Ali refused to go and fight in Vietnam. He was loved and hated by many people at the same time, but he surely will be missed. His spicy style of broadcast backed up by solid facts will be difficult to replace.

The man himself, will be impossible to replace.

Football saw the retirement of the greatest quarterback to ever play. Joe Montana finally called it quits after a long and illustrious career. The man won four Superbowls and enough awards to fill an entire stadium, baseball or football. Joe Montana was the greatest for not only all he accomplished but also for what he had to go through to accomplish it. He came back from knee surgery, elbow surgery, back surgery, and shoulder surgery. Eacl? surgery only slowed him down, it could not stop him.

The NBA's regular season also ground to a halt this week. It was a season to remember, at least until the next. Grant Hill took the league by storm, starting as a rookie in the AllStar game and playing like a wily and cagey veteran throughout. Michael Jordan returned. He gave us all a second chance to view in awe his seemingly limitless talent. It was a season that has such a strong group of powerful teams its a toss-up as to who will wear the crown of the championship.

As the end of the season approaches, mens baseball coach Stuart Fritz was forced to confront his team with a challenge. That challenge is to play out the rest of this mediocre at best season (8-151, 5-7 in MIAA) with all the heart, enthusiasm, and grandeur as though they were undefeated.

"I think the chance for a league championship is pretty much out of reach.," Coach Fritz said, "I sat down with them and I told them this and I said they have to play with pride and play the best they can."

This speech came after the Flying Dutchmen lost three tough games over the weekend to powerhouse Albion, 3-2,5-0, and 7-4. In the final two games of the series was limited to only 8 hits, and no extra base hits.

Darin Corcoran ('95) lost the Friday game, dropping his record to 2-3. "We played good ball. Darin pitched well, and they just got the

lucky ones and we didn't. We just couldn't generate enough runs all weekend," Coach Fritz said.

The big excitement of the weekend came in game three on Saturday night as Hope led in the fourth inning, 3-2 after Malachi Gallegos ( 95) had an RBI single accompanied with a couple unearned runs. H o p e ended up losing the game, despite a stellar day from pitcher Drew Vinton ('98) who chalked up four hits, three walks, and twelve strikeouts in nine innings of play.

'They got the big hits when they needed them. We were up by one and the next thing we knew we were down a few runs," Coach Fritz said, "It wasn't errors because we didn t make any errors all weekend. Drew threw a couple walks here and there, but nothing drastic to produce five runs.w The Flying Dutchmen now stand at 8-15-1 overall on the sea-

son and stand 5-7 in the MIAA. The 5-7 record in the MIAA puts Hope College in fifth place in the conference.

Olivet is in first place at the moment with an 11-1 mark. Albion College (12-3) with help from the Hope sweep has moved into second place in the conference, followed by Adrian (5-5), Alma (55), then Hope.

The two teams chasing Hope are Calvin (2-7) and Kalamazoo (0-12).

Next up for the Dutchmen will be a nonleague game against Elmherst of Illinois this afternoon.

"I'm not positive, but I am pretty sure they have roughly the same record as us so it should be a good game. We need every win we can get at this point," Coach Fritz said.

Hope will then go on the road once again and travel to play Cornerstone for two games on Friday, April 28. The Flying Dutchmen will take a week off for semester exams after the Cornerstone games.

The Constitutional Review Committee added a provision that a random review committee would be selected in the event of an attendance review.

A Student Congress Representative is subject to an attendance review when he or she misses three meeting in the course of a term.

The representative would leave the room while Congress discuses the attitude of that given person.

After discussion, the members vote as to whether or not that person should be asked to step down from their position.

With the new attendance review policy, the given p e r s o n w o u l d plead their case to the random attendance c o m m i t t e e and they would vote if the person should leave Student Congress. The committee and rational behind the decision would be confidential unless that person appeals the first decision. If an appeal is made, the Congress as a whole listens to the rational and then votes. Second voting cannot be appealed.

After s o m e discussion. Congress voted to approve the Constitution.

•Read the Fine Print Book buy-btck is an opporlunity for students to recover some of the moiwy they have spent for coune books that they do not wish to keep in their penoml librtriei This process rccydes b o o b from those wishing to seli to those wishing to buy and allows the bookstore to offer used books as well as new ones. Ovei half the titlei used at Hope are reused at some time, but with oew editions, changing titles and gaps between the timet a course is offered, students caa more likely expect to sell back about 25% of their boob at the end of the term.

HOW DOES BUY BACK WORK? A buy is held at the boobtore during exam week of both the spring and fall semesters.

There are actually two buys running ai the same time. Fust, the boobtore buys texts that are being used again on ctmpus next semester at 55% of what you paid for them. The quantities bought are sometimes limited by projected class enrollmenU and the number of b o o b the store already has on hand.

PoUett College Book Company of Chicago actually conducts the second buy. Thu company will purchase many of the titlea which are being discontinued here at Hope or which are not being used next semester for some reason. The prices pi Id for theae b o o b are established by PoUett; in general tbeM prices range between 10% and 30% of the current selling price. The boobtore does not encourage students to sell b o o b in this manner unless there seems to be no indication that the book will be used again at Hope or if • new edition seems imminent.

WHY WONT THE BOOKSTORE BUY ALL MY BOOKS? In a given semester there are several factor* that can cause a book not to be bought back at the 55% price offered by the boobtore. Some of these are: 1. The professor has not yet ordered his/her boob.

2. The book is not being used the following semester at Hope. Ift the course is offered alternate semesters or by different professors, it is a good idea to try again at the next buy-back before selling to the used book company.

3. The professor has changed b o o b bccause something better has become available. The boobtore no longer needs the book but it may be bought for the used book company.

PoUett College Book Company lists thousands of textboob which they will buy, but even they do not buy everything. They buy only what they have found they can resell.

Religious papeibacb are almost never listed. Also, when a new edition is released, the old edition has no value even to the used book company. Few schools will be using an old edition.

There is never a guarantee that textboob purchased by students will be used again by any instructor anywhere in the country. Students " should not buy b o o b with the expectation of reselling every one - that happens in very few cases. The real value of a book is obtained by studying it carefully and if it can be resold when no longer needed, then consider that a bonus.

THE NEXT BUY-BACK IS IN DECEMBER!
