Johnson, Dean of Chapel. All the speakers noted the tremendous need for a new stu dent center on campus. The ma jority of space within the Dewitt Center, which was originally en visioned as a dedicated student center when constructed in 1971, was turned over to admin istrative offices as the college grew. “Hope has gone for far too long without a proper student center,” Bauman said. The building is being funded through the Greater Hope fund raising campaign with a $10 mil lion lead donation from Cheri DeVos (’80), who m president Bultman credited as “the truevi sionary behind the idea to build a new student center in the Pine Grove.” Bultman himself expressed humility over the choice to name the new building afterhim and his wife Martie. “W e are greatly honored and a little uncomfortable that the new center will bear our name,” Bultman said.

Convocation: T h e m a r a t h o n that is college Alek Molenaar C a m p u s C o -Editor @ALEKMOLE
Convocation marked the end of Orientation for 800-plus freshman who started classes yesterday. Post-convocation, parents were asked to say their good-byes, as their sons and daughters become full-fledged students, ready to embark on the four-year adventure that is Hope College. Convocation introduced students to the college and welcomed them into their new home. Last Sunday, students and parents filed into DeVos Fieldhouse to hear words from President Knapp and keynote speaker Professor Virginia Beard from Hope’s political science department. Knapp began by stating how Hope is “an inclusive campus and com munity” and that students need to “take heart in God” through the many paths that they will take throughout their college careers. Then, Professor Beard took the podium. She asked the students, “Do you pay attention to the days?
________ W -
Do they all follow the same pattern?” She encouraged the students to “act in the living present, still achieving, still pursuing.” She spoke of the lib eral arts education that Hope College offers. "Liberal arts education, no matter what m a jor you decide, allows students to see the world in different perspectives.” Beard also went into Hope's extra-curricular activities, which give students ample opportunities to expand their knowledge and skills. She made it clear that stu
dents should find the clubs and groups that they like, but they should choose them to fit their own goals for their future time at Hope. Professor Beard then moved to the impact that join ing these groups, clubs, classes and majors all have. “What sacrifices will you have to make? Will you have to not go to the beach right away because you could study for that hard exam coming up?" Profes sor Beard presented these kinds of questions to encourage stu dents to be multi-faceted and
to be able to view topics from a multitude of viewpoints. She compared the college career to a marathon, having to sacrifice time and effort in order to com plete a long term goal. After Professor Beard’s speech, stu dents commented on convoca tion and orientation weekend in general. “Hope is becoming a home. It’s a very warm environment and it’s very religious as well,” Dahlia Marquez (T9) said. “The concept of convocation is great and it will be nice to
compare it to our graduation,” Samantha Stall (T9) said. “The Orientation Week end is carefully designed. W e can make lots of new friends with the games we play. It feels natural and the atmosphere is unique because everyone is so nice. I love ithere already,” Haoming Zhang (T9) said. Overall, the freshman class has already been given good ad vice for their first semester. The Hope College class of 2019 is ready to start, and finish, their marathon.

Groundbreaking for Bultman ♦ Bultman Center, from page 1
The ceremony had its lighter moments as well. Mrs. Bultman jokingly requested that, once completed, the Bultman Center should be nicknamed the “Bult” by students on campus, as she feelsthe center’s fullname seems too long for colloquial use. Construction of the Bult man Center will kick into high gear over the next few weeks, as crews working for Granger Con struction of Lansing, Michigan finish up asbestos abatement and begin demolition of Nykerk Hall, which opened in 1956 and currently occupies the eastern edge of the Pine Grove. The
impending demolition is an un doubtedly bittersweet event for many Hope students and alumni who attended the thousands of classes and events held within the complex over the years or shared in the somewhat nefari ous tradition of sneaking on the building's roof after dark. Over the next 18 months the new building will rise from the site, and the planners hope it will also help the college itself rise to new heights. “At Hope we do not build new buildings just to build them: they are created to enable to perform people to perform at the very highest level ... Our greatest joy iswatching students develop and grow, and this facil ity will help them do that,” said President Bultman.
HOPE PROVIDES SPOUSAL BENEFITS TO SAME-SEX COUPLES After the summer Supreme Court ruling that legalized samesex marriage, the Hope College Board of Trustees voted on July 5 to extend employee spousal benefits to same-sex couples. Hope released the following statement when announcing the decision: “Hope College does not discriminate in employment policy and practices on the basis of sexual orientation or marital status, and the school does not intend to start doing so now. As it has in the past, Hope College welcomes students, staff and faculty based on their ability to contribute to the life of the college, not on their sexual orientation or marital status.”

T o p candidates 2 0 1 6 Overview of top-polling presidential candidates of the election Alex Swain W orld Co-Editor
Over the course of this past summer, a lot has happened throughout the globe and the United States. Some of the most noteworthy and publicized stories regarding domestic events revolved around the presidential candidates for the upcoming 2016 presidential election. Twists and turns have abounded throughout the summer with candidates falling behind, as well as pole-vaulting ahead. HillaryClinton, originally thought to be the ensured and obvious Democratic candidate, is now facing increasing opposition as Bernie Sanders, a Democratic senator from Vermont, has seen his campaign well with support from young voters across the country. These supporters are giving Clinton, the lead Democratic presidential candidate, a run for her money. Donald Trump, who has managed to be repeatedly criticized for racially ignorant comments, has recently been skyrocketing in polls. Although very earlyin the grand scheme of the presidential election, many people in the United States and abroad are watching with bated breath as the battleground for
the future of the “Free World” plays out. Throughout the summer, the G O P has seen an influx of potential candidates. 17 declared candidates are currentlyfeatured in major polls, with nine of the candidates announcing on or after June 1, 2015. Among these candidates are notable figures like Scott Walker, current governor of Wisconsin; Christ Christie, the current governor of N e w Jersey; Bobby Jindal, current governor of Louisiana; Jeb Bush, the former governor of Florida; Ted Cruz, a U.S. senator from Texas, and of course; Donald Trump, current C E O of Trump Organization. Other recognizable candidates include Ben Carson, Rand Paul, Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum, and Rick Perry. Among the declared Democrats are a smaller, but no less significant, repertoire of presidential candidates. Five of the candidates have been featured in nationwide major polls with an additional four formally declaring their candidacies. Among the five most prominent candidates are Lincoln Chafee, former governor of Rhode Island; Martin O ’Malley, former governor of Maryland; Jim
Webb, a former senator of Virginia; Bernie Sanders, a senator from Vermont; and of course, Hillary Clinton, former United States Secretary of State (among various other positions including former First Lady and Senator of N e w York). Although polls are apt to oscillate for months to come, strong trends are emerging for the most popular candidates of two ofour major parties. Among the GOP, Trump is currently in the lead with a dramatic 15day average of 30.50%, followed by Jeb Bush at 10.17% and Ben Carson at 9.50%. Remaining G O P candidates are all around 5%. Among the Democratic party, Clinton remains in the lead with £ staggering 15-day average of 47.83% followed by Bernie Sanders at 24.00%. Joe Biden, although he hasn’t declared his official run, has a solid support base at 14.75%. The remaining Democratic candidates show approximately 1-2% in the polls. That being said, itis safe to say that Clinton or Sanders will be the probable Democratic candidate. The G O P will certainly be more of a tossup, though many speculate that it will come down to Jeb Bush and Donald Trump.

Greek's economy and financial crisis continues Prime minister Tsipiras resigns amid party divisions at h o m e and increasing pressure from the Eurozone Kaan Kurtulus G uest W riter
The economy in Greece has been in decline since 2010, which culminated in the current Greek debt crisis. The main reason for this is believed to be the 2.4 billion dollar metro line build for the 2004 Greek Olympics. The European Union funded the project to support Greece at that time, but the debt became overwhelming due to poor management of the funds.
this brought more tension for the European economy, it also started damaging diplomatic relationships between the countries. To end this dilemma, Alexis Tsipras was elected as the new Prime Minister of Greece in early 2015. Followers of his party, SYRIZA, believed he would find sustainable solutions to remove the country from its tragic state and help bring about a new recovery for the nation. Before he was elected,Tsipras

Banks in Greece started shutting down, and people were not allowed to withdraw more than $60 a day, while A T M machines usually did not have banknotes in them. These caused the Greek to face difficulties in meeting basic human needs, such as finding food to eat. After a few more economic convulsions, Tsipras finally announced his resignation after his party SYRIZA divided over accepting a third recovery package, which was ultimately accepted in parliament by 222 votes. Even though these actions do not meet the expectations of Greeks, Tsipras was left with no choice with Greek economy and politics being so chaotic. After the referendum on the third recovery package, Greece’s relationship got shaken-up with the E U (European Union) even more. Tsipras stated that he is hoping for a “no.” Prime Minister Tspiras proposed the new elections to be held on September 20, 2015, and fortunately speculations

On August 26, 2015 Vester Lee Flannagan II walked on to a live interview between Alison Parker, a W D B J news reporter, and Vicki Gardner, discussing issues of local tourism while Adam Ward, a W D B J photojournalist, was filming. He then proceeded to fire 17 rounds from a glock pistol, murdering Alison Parker and Adam Ward, and shooting Vicki Gardner in the back (though after surgery, she was in stable condition). Flannagan, a former W D B J employee who had a history of making coworkers feel uncomfortable and threatened, wrote in a suicide note that he was a "human powder keg” and was hoping to incite racial violence. After being chased by police and posting the video of the shooting on social media platforms, as well as faxing a suicide note to WDBJ, he shot himself and died shortly thereafter.

After the less-than-stellar 2005 film and its sequel, fans had high hopes for Trank's success. As a longtime fanatic of the Fantastic Four, I was excited for what the new movie had to offer. The trailers did an excellent job of highlighting the action-packed scenes of the movies. In reality, however, very little action occurred until after a half-hour of viewing time had passed. The slow build-up was one of the films greatest downfalls, as the “fantastic" four didn’t actually become fantastic until far too late into the film. While the movie's take on how the four attained their powers was unique, there was too much focus placed on the procedure rather than the story line. Additionally, the character development left much to be desired, as Ben Grimm (The Thing) was used as a little more than a plot device to further Reed Richards’(Mr. Fantastic) own character development. Overall the new “Fantastic Four” is not worth watching unless the viewers have their own powers of patience and positivity. x
Jurassic World

Set 20 years after the original park failed, “Jurassic World" welcomes a new cast of characters and dinosaurs in a fast, ac tion-packed reimagining of the series. Steven Spielberg, director of the original “Jurassic Park," offers his skills as an execu tive producer for the film, which earned over $630 million at the box office. Fans of the original trilogy as well as newcom ers to the franchise can equally enjoy “Jurassic World” without missing out on the storyline. While sequels rarely match up to the quality of their predecessors, “Jurassic World” did a good job in terms of originality and character development, not to mention the remarkable graphics that could make one believe that dinosaurs aren’t actually extinct (Spoiler alert: they are). One difference between the trailer and movie I enjoyed was the portrayal of Claire Dearing, the operations manager of the park. When I first saw the trailer, I assumed Claire would be the antagonist of the movie. In other words, I assumed she would be the “bad guy" who valued the park's potential more than the safety of the visitors. However, I was happy to see my assumptions proved wrong by the film, where Claire did all she could to keep the park visitors safe. Ifyou are in terested in seeing “Jurassic World," the Student Activities Committee is hosting a free drive-in movie at 9 p.m. on Friday.
Avengers: Age of Ultron
i
^ ^
As a longtime fan of the Marvel franchise, Iwas initiallyblinded by my love for Iron Man and corny team bonding that I for got to be objective. "Avengers: Age of Ultron” was directed, once again, by Joss Whedon, mastermind behind other national treasures like “Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Firefly.” Sequels sometimes are fortunate, since most viewers already know the characters, and therefore the movie is able to skip directly to a new plot. However, being thrown directly into an action sequence without any introduction to the crisis can be overwhelming. "Age of Ultron" started off just like that, with all of the Avengers fighting to break into some holding facility. This dramatic and spontaneous beginning caused me to lose inter est. While the reason for the fighting is explained later on, by then it was too late for the audience to feel anticipation and excitement for the Avengers' quest. Rather than being a part of the action, the audience was reduced to excluded bystanders. Furthermore, there were some relationships that I found to be out of character and distracting to the plot, specifically the relationship between Bruce Banner (Hulk) and Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow). Their sudden chemistry seemed forced, with even random side characters stating that their feelings for each other were “obvious." Their relationship also served to reduce Black Widow to a mere love interest and romantic plot device, instead of the powerful Avenger she should have been. P hoto courtesy of denofgeek .us
Inside Out
i
Last but not least, “Inside Out” was the latest movie from Disney Pixar, which earned over $500 million at the global box of fice. This animated film takes a break from the outside world and focuses within, with personified emotions that helps explain what makes us laugh, cry, fear and rage. While the character dynamics and interactions between the different emotions are humorous, “Inside Out”has serious undertones that can relate to people of allages, such as the role ofsadness in life.Through out the film, the character Joy attempts to restrain Sadness, not letting her fellow emotion affect the main character- a little girl named Riley. However, the repression of sadness is soon revealed to be very damaging to Riley’s life and to her character, as she begins to lose what makes her unique as the movie progresses. One reason for such a high rating is the way “Inside Out” affects its audience in different ways. For young children, the movie offers entertainment with its silly characters and exciting graphics, while also teaching children to embrace their feelings and be their true selves. However, I feel the effect is even greater for young adults and older, as the loss of innocence and childhood can be easily relatable, as well as the thought that even though past experiences are long gone, they can be remembered and can accompany new and brighter memories.

5 tips that all freshman a n d n e w students need to k n o w for their first year
F o r m e r Phelps Scholar sets out to share H o p e student’s stories Gabrielle Werner Columnist
Austin Elluru Columnist @AustinElluru
It seems just like yes terday that I was coming to Hope College’s campus for the first time, I was lost in 3m ^ 1world of emerging adult hood with no clear idea ofhow to survive. Now, as a senior, I have a wealth of knowledge and wish to pass italong to all of the incoming freshman. So here are five tips of how to sur vive your firstyear of college: 1. You may at some point hear rumors about some secret tunnels that run under Hopes campus stemming from the president's house to all the major buildings on campus. I would just like you to know that these rumors are true and you can find these tun nels ifyou’re willing to commit enough time and effort. 2. Hope College has some really great teachers. However, you should never at any point make eye contact. Professors can see the fear in your soul, and they will not hesitate to feast on itby asking you a question in front of the
In 1866, Hope College welcomed its first freshmen class to campus. At this time, the student body consisted of eager, young males looking to pioneer an educational legacy sure to make their families, community and world proud. Almost 150 years later, Hope welcomes the class of 2019. While traditionally Dutch, the diversity of Hope’s student body has grown over the years in attempts to better represent the world population. With this new goal in mind, Hope has opened their doors to stu dents who offer their acute in tellect, fresh perspectives and diverse stories. Throughout the years, students have been given a plethora of outlets to intro duce their voices to the world. Opportunities such as student congress, the student activities committee, The Anchor and academic clubs allow students to obtain roles of leadership to make their mark at Hope and prepare for the future. These organizations aid in profes sional and personal develop ment by providing the oppor tunity for students to influence Hope. As for me, I intend to
whole class. 3. Sure itseems likeyour new roommate isa nice person with the same sense of humor as you, and maybe he even en joys cleaning the room. This is a ruse. Odds are if they will ingly clean the room, they are just removing evidence of their plans to remove you. Never let your guard down, and don’t sleep. 4. There’ s this neat do nut shop open 24/7 called Good Time Donuts, which is a fun place to go, ifyou justwant to chill at night. Be careful and remember to always use mod eration, or else the next thing you know, you are waking up at 5 a.m. in the pine grove with a half-eaten donut in your mouth and glaze all over your face. 5. Enjoy your time, Hope is full of opportunities and you^-should try. to explore every one of them.
make my mark on Hope College by giving a voice to our campus. Utilizing The Anchor, I hope to illuminate the authentic, intelligent and diverse voices of Hope this year. Over the sum mer, I became a Facebook and Instagram follower of Brandon Stanton, the creator of The Hu mans of Ne w York project. This project displays the population of Ne w York in a candid and authentic way. After becoming inspired through his work, I de cided that I would like to start a similar project at Hope, Hu mans of Hope. During m y freshmen year at Hope, I participated in the Phelps Scholars Program. This program helped to educate me on the importance of diversity and student-led change, but the most important lesson that I took away from this program was the importance of listening. Through Humans of Hope, Iwill listen to the unique perspectives and stories of campus: M y in tention for this project isto give a voice to Hope and to display an authentic, and hopefully in formative, perspective on the people behind our college. Each week I intend to photograph and interview one
Hope student, faculty m e m ber, or employee; each photo graph will have an interview response quote attached to it. It is important that voices are shared and attached with a photograph, but if for some reason it is desired to exclude a face, that request will be granted. Stories are only given their worth when it is shown who lived them; and opinions are only valid when lived out and expressed by its Owner. Humans of Hope intends to collect these stories and opin ions in order to show the lives being lived and growth being achieved at Hope. The title for this project fully exemplifies my mission to spread the word about the humans at Hope and to imply that those who are within the college’s reach have much to be hopeful for in the present and future. I can not wait to begin this amazing journey with you. Go and like my page on Facebook at “Hu mans of Hope: Hope College.”

For me, that was going to the Activities Fair and finding m y niche. I should have known that I would sign up for every thing ... well, not every thing, but enough where I was being bombarded by emails days after th’ iActivities Fair. Ihad signed up for Sailing Club, The Anchor, The Mile stone, Opus, Cru, HAPA, Japan Club, Yoga Club, Nykerk, The Pull, Greek Life and the school radio team. Iwanted to do itall, but was I able to? No. Even as a high school student, Iovercom mitted myself.
Looking through all of the flyers and free swag after the Activities.Fair, I began lying to myself— I thought I could do it all. Naive, freshman Hannah learned very quickly that was not going to happen. After a tearful callhome to my mother, I gave myself a real ity check. I asked myself three questions, which narrowed my list of commitments down to The Anchor, Nykerk, The Pull and Greek Life: 1. W h y do I want to par ticipate in this activity?

3 5 and counting: The All-Sports Award Duncan MacLean Sports co-editor @ D uncmac4
Since 1934, the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Asso ciation has awarded one school every year with the Commis sioners Cup All-Sports Cham pionship. The award is given based on cumulative league standings across eight of the ten M I A A varsity sports. Hope College captured its lastcup following the 2013-2014 athletic seasons for a league leading 35th time. Kalamazoo College has taken home the award 15 times, followed by Albion College with 14. Cal vin College rounds out the top four with ten championships. So far, Hope has dominated the 21st century, taking allbut three years since 2000. The Cup began in the 30’s as the “All-Sports Award” and was only given for men’s sports. It ran unchanged until 1981 when women's sports began to be con sidered. In 1998, the All-Sports award split into separate men’s and women’s competitions, with the total winner taking the cup. The cup represents the highest level of athletic achievement in the M I A A and has fostered fierce rivalry and respect among the schools for over 80 years.

M e n ’s soccer: M I A A preview eral other teams winning their conferences, it’s hard to believe that one of our squads could be a dark horse in any sport. The Dutchmen soccer team placed third in the M I A A conference last season, falling to Kalama zoo in the conference tourna ment. With much of the starting lineup having graduated and the team losing star players like Josh Hagene this season, Hope isn’t looking like the powerhouse it once was. They can push through, es pecially given coach Steven Smith’s impressive records. He currently ranks 13th among ac tive Division III coaches in wins and 18th in winning percentage (.723). Coach Smith isgoing into this season with an overall re cord of 350-122-40 and 238-7021 against M I A A opponents. A good coach can make even the most unexperienced teams win ners.
Players to watch for Ethan Beswick (’16) - The Dutchmen’s goalkeeper posted a .811 save percentage in 2014 and made the All-MIAA Second Team the previous year. Hope’s 2013 entrance into the national tournament can be partially at tributed to their keeper after his impressive performance in the deciding game against Calvin in the finalofthe M I A A conference tournament. Beswick was able to keep a clear mind and steady hands to stop the Knights from advancing in a penalty shoot out. He's the one you want be tween the posts in high-pressure situations. Don’t be surprised if 2016 ishis year. Bobby Budlong - Albion Col lege’s captain was sidelined for a majority of the second half of 2014 with a broken metatarsal, but he’s looking to make a come back. Budlong spent the sum mer playing for minor league soccer team Detroit City Foot ball Club, playing in all of the reserve games and was bumped up to the first team for the last three games.
