Police, administration promise crackdown

by Scott Kaukonen & Jim Monnett The Holland Police, with the cooperation of the Hope College administration, has taken a nowarning approach for cracking down on off-campus parties which are uncontrolled.

The action is in response to increasing complaints and petitions from neighborhood residents requesting more stringent enforcement of the law.

Neighbors have cited noise, tresspassing, vomiting and urinating on lawns as well as broken windows resulting from thrown bottles.

Hope students received a letter from Dean Richard Frost recently which stated the intentions of the Holland Police and Hope College and urged students to use good judgment in attending offcampus parties.

Holland Chief of Police Charles Lindstrom stated that they felt it was 4 4 in the best interest of the students to know the laws." He later said the police will be conducting "undercover monitoring of parties to determine violations of the law such as underage drinking and illegal sales of intoxicants (selling cups or charging admission is a felony if intoxicating beverages are served)."

The letter a l s o said "authorities will photograph party scenes for court evidence and the college's information, to identify persons participating illegally for follow-up prosecution." U . noted that additional police officers will be on duty in the neighborhoods around the college.

Illegal parking and reckless and-or drunk driving offenses

will be dealt with immediately.

According to the letter, "those in attendance or frequenting a place of illegal activities or illegal sales are also subject to prosecution.19 Not only are Hope students who violate the law liable for prosecution from the city attorney, but they may also expect action from the college.

Frost said, "Hope will be informed (by the police). I will meet with the students. Hope has jurisdiction. From the (student) handbook, Hope has the right to impose sanctions up and above load laws."

Vice President of Student l i f e and Admissions, James Bekkering explained Hope's position, "We want to be as consistant as possible and still take into account individual circumstances."

The new policy is the result of a series of meetings between Chief Lindstrom, Bekkering and Frost in an attempt to act in the best interest of the student body and the Holland community.

A letter Chief Lindstrom sent to a l l o f f - c a m p u s s t u d e n t residents said, "Tlie past policy of the Holland Police Department has been to provide a warning and attempt to quiet things down...These policies have not worked."

Chief Lindstorm said, "If a party is going on and there are more people in the building than it is made to hold or if it (the party) is spreading around the neighborhood," the police will take action to break it up. The police's aim is to prevent the "ya'U come" practises which are of the nature which leads to problems versus the smaller, invited

list parties.

According to Bekkering, "Last year was a time of trying to assess the problem. The crux ol the matter is to be sensitive to the rights of privacy, quiet and * order for all members erf a given neighborhood."

Five hundred and ninety-five 'students lived off- campus last year and Bekkering believes that no more than twenty were the causes of the problems.

"It's disappointing," Bekkering said, "that so few students stain the reputation of the rest of the student body in the eyes of the community."

Frost,commenting on Hope's position said, "Partying and interaction, socially are important, but doing it legally and responsibly is equally important...They (Hope students) must be held responsible for irresponsible actions."

Van Zoeren renovation nears completion

by Carrie Maples News Editor In recent months, as the dust settled on the west side of campus, a new, unique s e t of buildings emerged.

In 1984 work began on the Van Wylen Library building. In the summer of 1968 the facelift on Van Zoeren Hall and VanderWerf Hall was started.

Along with the renovation, plans were made by DesignPlus of 4jrand Rapids to link the. three buildings for easier access. Much care was taken in the designs to preserve the avant-garde style of the buildings, designed in the early 1960s by Kakph R. Calder of Detroit, and yet lend continuity of line and unity to the style of the three buiktinjs.

The renovations were also practical, providing increased office, classroom and laboratory space as well as computer facilities and storage space.

Currently, the first floor of Van Zoeren houses the offices of the economics and business administration department and computer science department u n t i l t h e y c a n r e t u r n to VanderWerf in January 1990.

There are also several labs, including a computer-aided engineering lab, which is, according to Peter Jolivette, chairperson of the physics department, the first lab space devoted to engineering.

On Van Zoeren's second floor are the new offices of the education department and the temporary offices of the math and

physics departments, which will be moving to VanderWerf in January. The sociology and social work departments and the Academic Support Center will at that time move to Van Zoeren from their respective offices in the basements of Graves Hall and the Chapel.

The upper level also includes a large workroom, an experimental classroom with adjoining

observation rooms and classrooms. Lamont Dirkse, chairperson of the education department, said, "We're excited about having some classrooms in the same building as our offices. No longer do we need little shopping carts for carrying our teaching materials."

The education staff moved in June from the brick house on Van Raalte Commons, their home

since Van Raalte Hall burned in 1907.

The second floor also has the access to Van Wylen Library, which makes things more convenient for everyone. The construction wasn't completely without problems, though. Sophomore Reba O'Shesky, a research assistant in the Van Wylen Library

News NSF awards bio, chem departments grant

by Kristin Michel Staff Writer The biology and chemistry departments have been jointly awarded a $20,000 grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF). The purpose of this grant is to create a new integrated l a b o r a t o r y p r o g r a m in biochemistry and molecular biology.

The co-principal investigators for this grant, Dr. Rodney Boyer, professor of chemistry, and Dr. Anthony Nieuwkoop, assistant professor of biology are currently seeking approval to begin a course in the spring semester which would concentrate on this integrated laboratory program.

Such a course would enable students to be trained in the latest techniques of biochemistry and molecular biology by learning such skills as protein

purification, enzyme kinetics, DNA analysis and mutagenesis.

Because of the high level of advancement and technicality involved with these procedures, this course would be open primarily to junior or senior chemistry or biology majors who plan to go on to graduate school for the study of molecular biology or biochemistry.

The $20,000 NSF grant is being equally matched by Hope College, so the total amount of money set up for this program is $40,000. This money will be used to purchase such equipment as a high-speed refrigerated centrifuge, gell electrophoresis equipment, a bacteriological incubator and a protein detection system.

Hope has in the past had a strong biochemistry program.

This grant enables the science departments to build upon the

biochemistry program with molecular biology and show how the two relate.

in

"Biology and chemistry are just becoming so close together and so integrated that a course like this is an obvious kind of connection to make," said Dr. Boyer.

This grant contributes to a great deal of advancement in the areas of biochemistry and molecular biology and puts the programs at Hope more on the level of a large state school.

doing a lot of learning'

One of the future goals of this program is to someday convert the former science library on the second floor of Peale Science C e n t e r i n t o an a r e a of laboratories among which would be one specifically designed for m o l e c u l a r biology and biochemistry.

Science departments receive over $600,000

by Pamela Lundberg Staff Writer Thanks to grants from the government and many private institutions, Hope College's science departments have received over 1600,000 for equipment and research projects.

During last year Dr.Rodney F . B o y e r of the Chemistry D e p a r t m e n t , D r . A n t h o n y J. Nieuwkoop of the Biology Department and other faculty members applied for and received approximately fifteen grants. These grants will be used to fund many research programs.

One research project involves the purchasing of a $285,000 piece of equipment called a nuclear magnetic resonance soec-

trophonometer (NMR). Boyer said students and faculty would be trained to use this piece of equipment so that they can identify the structures of chemical compounds.

The rest of the grant monies would be used to purchase chemicals, other instruments, fund s t u d e n t s t i p e n d s and generally cover the costs of many small individual projects of the faculty.

Faculty members then send those agencies grant proposals.

This is not a guarantee of acceptance, however, agreed Boyer and Nieuwkoop.

Only about twenty-flve percent *f all grants applied for are received by Hope College. If there is a special need for a particular piece of equipment or money for research, the faculty sends grant proposals to the government and many other private institutions.

Nieuwkoop stated that although deparment chairpersons organized the application process for these grants, much of the faculty participates. Usually agencies offering money for scientific purposes will send information to Hope College.

Boyer said that one problem is that grants do not last forever. A grant for an instrument is good only for that particular piece of equipment, lasts only as long as the equipment lasts. Most other grants are reapplied for every two or three years.

by Jim Monnett co-editor The new dean for Student Development Services and Admissions, Richard Frost joined Hope College's administration in late July.

Frost came to Hope from the University of California - Santa Barbara where he had served as Associate Director of Housing.

Af Hope Frost is responsible for four general areas including residential life, student activities, health services and multicultural life.

Overall, Frost describes his responsibilities as "any general concern that the institution feels will impact the students."

'I'm here to serve students as a group of people," Frost said.

Since arriving Frost said he has been trying to familiarize himself with Hope's system. He has spent most of the time learning and meeting students.

"This initial period of time, I'm doing a lot of learning" Frost said.

During last week's orientation, he said he spent a lot of time talking to the freshpersons and their parents. He also has been meeting with the student leaders like Student Congress President 'onathon Hoffman.

Frost said one of his hopes is at students would come speak him about a policy or decision

that he might make.

"I'm always open to sitting down and talking about it," Frost said. "Some (decisions) may change and some won't."

About his goals at Hope, Fros said it was too early to speculate.

He thought he needed to get better acquainted with Hope before he should develop long range goals.

Commenting on the selection process. Frost said there were three questions that addressed what a Christian liberal arts in stitution should be and how tha would affect his methods if he worked at one.

"Being a strong Christian, my life is guided by my Christian conviction and beliefs," Frost said.

He said he looked forward to "being able to bring together (his) personal and professiona convicUons, beliefs and com mitments" at a Christian liberal arts college like Hope.

Overall Frost said, "My sense is Hope's a good place to be."

Frost has a Bachelors of Arts in Political Science and Business from Luther CoUege, and a Masters in Student Personnel from Michigan State University He is presently finishing his doc torate from MSU in Higher Education with a concentration in Individual Psychology and Management.

Administration adds new staff (HOPE) Several staff adjustments and changes have occured while students were away on sammer break.

Anne Bakker-Gras, formerly in residential life at Hope, has taken the position of Director of Student Activities. This position was vacated by Bruce King, who took a job in minority affairs at Lake Forest College.

Taking over the residential life (housing) postition is Derek Emerson, a former resident director at Kollen Hall.

And finallyv some offices have changed location due to the completion of the Van Zoeren renovation. The Career Planning and P l a c e m e n t O f f i c e and the Counseling Center have moved from the Student Development Office and are now in the Sligh Building, formerly occupied by the business and ecomonics deiurtments.

Also joining the Student Development staff are Administrative Assistant Laurie Brock, formerly of the Admis-

sions Office, and Secretary Barbara Kilbry.

Other staff members have gotten new responsibilities and thus new titles over the summer.

James Bekkering is now VicePresident for Admissions and Student Life. Elton Bruins, previously serving as Dean for Arts and Humanities, is acting provost while Jacob Nyenhuis is on sabbatical. Also, Jon Huisken is now Registrar and Dean of Academic Services.

National fraternity drops pledging (CPS) - The 90 Zeta Beta Tau fraternity chapters around the country will junk their pledging programs this fall, marking the first official adoption of radical National Interfraternity Council (NIC) proposal that all frats find new ways to bring in new members.

ZBT's S u p r e m e n Council ordered its member chapters in August not to hold their traditional ( 'pledge weeks" this school year, and to replace them with less physical programs stressing brotherhood and service.

"We've been trying for at least 25 years to stop hazing, and all of our efforts have failed. The only way to stop it is to stop hazing," said Ronald Taylor, ZBT's national vice president.

Taylor said no single hazing incident prompted the move, although ZBT chapters have been involved in controversial parties at the universities of Pennsylvania and Wisconsin involving strippers in recent years.

Both incidents drew disciplinary action from officials.

"We've had, as have other organizations, a continuation of hazing incidents. None lifethreatening or severe, but we

worry about it," said fraternity Executive Director James E. Greer, Jr. A tragic, seemingly unstoppable series of deaths, injuries, fights and racial incidents involving pledges to various fraternities at Rutgers University and at the universitis of Lowell, Tennessee, Texas and California at Santa Barbara, among many others, led a growing number of states and campuses to restrict or outlaw hazing.

Dozens of states, including Texas, Missouri and Pennsylvania, have made hazing a crime in recent years.

Colby, Amherst, Gettysburg, Middlebury and Castleton State colleges all have banned fraternities and sororities.

In part to keep more schools from abolishing fraternities, the NIC convention in Burlingame, Calif., last December suggested all greek groups find "alternatives to the pledging process."

ZBT was the first to adopt one.

Although initial r e a c t i o n among fraternity members was negative, many of them say thei're willing to try.

"My first reaction was a sense of betrayal from the lu Monal

(ZBT council). It didn't seem fair," said Danny Pardo, a ZBT from San Diego State University.

"Now after reading the program, I'm all for it."

Added Danny Seigal, president of Syracuse University's ZBT chapter, "Eventually al national fraternities will go this way."

"In a few years no one will know what pledging is because it will have ended. That's the only wy fraternities will survive in to the 21st Century," he said.

Under the program, pledgez will become brothers 72 hours after receiving a bid from the fraternity. Then they enter an ongoing educational program. In addition, there will be a semiannual brotherhood review to make sure members are living up to requirements.

"You can't just pay your dues and be a brother," Seigal said.

Brothers generally don't think dropping pledge wUl keep prospective members away. "A lot of high-quality young men will be interested (in joining) that previously were not because of all of the malarkey of pledge week" Taylor said.

Fun-seekers gathered in Maas Auditorium for the Emersonian and SIB-sponsored dance last Friday night. This dance was the first in a series of greek dances for this semester.

Tom Renner, director of Public Relations, commented, "They've done an amazing job of staying on schedule."

The renovation will add three feet to the front of the building, providing more office space for faculty. Extra room will also be provided for more classrooms, computer labs and a lounge, giving students more room.

Hope parties need focus Once again we are welcomed back to Hope College with newt of new polidet. This year the Holland Police in conjunction with the Hope Administration and Public Safety will be cracking down on illegal activity at off-campus parties. One's first respons might be anger about restrictions one's freedom. A second response, though, might be to look past the policies at the possible causes.

James Bekkering, the Vice President for Admissions and Student Life, said the policies are in response to complaints from those permanent residents of Holland who live near these off-campus parties. It seems that some intoxicated Hope students use their neighbors' lawns and bushes for urinating, vomiting and the discarding of empty beer bottles. There have even been complaints of beer bottles being thrown at windows.

This is hardly responsible behavior. Why abuse someone's property? Most people would think twice about vomiting in the front bushes ofonc'sown home. But some Hope students are doing it to their neighbors here. And speaking as other Hope students, the anchor is appalled.

There is nothing funny about throwing beer bottles at windows or vomiting on someone's property. Why this behavior? Is it becauM the line at the bathroom is too long? No, maybe the problem lies in the parties themselves.

Hope parties are known for their beer consumption. They have no other purpose. At other schools there is dancing or relaxing bull sessions occuring.

Getting drunk is not the focus. At many of Hope's off-campus parties there is nothing else to do but get drunk. A few weeks of this and even getting drunk loses its appeal. It's then that people start looking for other forms of amusement. If, of course, throwing up on a lawn can be considered amusement.

It is important to note that this pathetic behavior is the exception and not the rule. Bekkering estimates that their were about twenty incidents last year. It would be a safe guess that there were far more parties than that. So the majority of the parties and the majority of the students are not at fault.

Granted that underaged drinking is illegal, but the enforcement of it offcampus is next to impossible.

Next to impossible that is, if the neighbors do not have to call the police for abuse of their property or loud noise.

One look at Parrot's (the old Arthur's) on College Night shows a packed dance floor. Of course, there is a lot of drinking, but it is not the only activity.

It's hard to drink as much beer while ^TM^ng as Just standing around chugging. TTie crowd at Parrot's has a good time. Afterward you don't see the crowd spilling outside to throw beer bottles through windows of the old post office or to urinate on the steps of Centennial Park Apartments.

Before one gets angry at the new crack down on the off-campus policies, maybe one should crack down on the offensive behavior. Each student is in a better position to stop the need for neighborhood complaints than all the undercover police put together. It may be time for Hope students to take the focus off getting drunk and add some other activity like dancing. Hope students should be able to aspire to more for their weekend entertainment than getting drunk and vandalism.

SUP OF THE MIND

Being bugged

JIM MONNETT On my return to Hope, I was looking forward to spending my third year with my friends...the squirrels. During the summer I dreamed of lounging under in the Pinegrove with my old furry friends. Hope's squirrels seem to personify the love and Joy that is Hope CoUege.

Unfortunately, my plans were sumbarined by the scourge of creation.

BUck flies.

They are everywhere. I love squirrels, but what's to love about flier Squirrels are furry, fun and friendly. Flies are ugly, irksome and irritating. There is nothing redeeming about flies.

I'm sure they serve some important function, like food for frogs, but at Hope all they do is live up to their namesake: bugs. They bug m e (groan here). i ....

Not only do they bug

they drive me up the wall to look than in the eyes. In Boyd Cottage where I live they are in every room wanting to play.

They get together and plot new strategies to drive me insane.

They buzz around, landing on every surface including me.

What gets under my skin the most is that they don't. Flies don't even have the common decency to bite. This puts them below mosquitoes. A mosquito takes the time out of it's busy schedule to bite when they land on me. A fly is too stupid to know what good food I am. Since mosquitoes bite, they give me a warped justification for squashing them out of the air.

Kill or be killed, it's the American Way. They know that I'll kill them so they swarm down and suck my blood vainly hoping to kill me first. It's a war and I can respect my enemy.

I can't respect flies. They don't fight back.

They Just buzz around looking for garhago to chomp on. Mosquitoes like fresh meat Just like me. But a fly will eat anything even if it smells like five week old bacon and eggs.

I can J u t hear Joe Fly hovering over our garbage saying, "Oooo, smell that stench. Looks like dinner is served. Smells like festering sauerkraut. Hold me back."

But flies don't stay by the garbage. They get there sadistic thrills out of tormenting humans "Hey, there's a human," Joe Fly says to Marge Fly, "Let's go wvwiu laa^iiaauf ,«• Q .»

..VMwfce.we x W d . U n i o n hi*

mirror while he's brushing his teeth. ,, Marge Fly adds.

And then they come "BUZZZZZ." Since they don't bite I feel slighly guilty for killing them. All they are doing is sharing my space. Is that a capital offense?

Maybe in Miami, but not here yet. So I try to live peacably with them.

I ignore them.

"Hey," Marge Fly says, "He's ignoring us. Let's land on his ear and buzz to him so that he knows we're here."

As they do my temperature rises. Eventually I lose it and the killing urge consumes me. I lunge for the thirty-nine cent Meijer nuclear fly swatter - the one with the extra long handle for added speed. The battle begins. I swat. Hiey buzz in laughter, taunting me.

1 swat again shattering the overhead light. Sometimes they hide...on the back of my leg. I swat again showing no mercy and bring a welt to my skin, but I am consumed. I laugh manically as I fight for the remnants of my sanity.

In the end it's Me 3, Flies 0 & 1 Light.

But Marge and Joe had friends who spontaneously generate to come play with my mind. I begin to wonder if I am no better that they are a s I climb over furniture and friends stalking my hated enemy. Eventually, I stop and ask myself what my squirrel friends would do if they were me.

-A bet a good nut solves a lot of

Student Congress needs you Dear Editor, We, as the Student Congress Cabinet, would like to take this opportunity to inform your readers about the exciting year ahead for Student Congress. With the elections less than two weeks away, we are hopeful this letter will encourage many good candidates to run for the 1989-1990 Student Congress.

Student Congress is the governing body of the students. It serves as a unifying voice of the students of Hope College. Student Congress consists of three

types of housing both on- and offcampus. For example, Kollen Hall has three representatives and four people will represent studentsliving in cottages. Lichty Hall and Van Vleck Hail share one seat on Congress. Check the advertisement in the back of this paper to see what district you are residing in and how many seats are available in your district.

Last year's Student Congress had one of their most successful years of governing. Some of their major accomplishments included a revised constitution, an increase in the activity fee and an

the committee or board (there are 16); it could be possible to debate and vote on such issues as a revised core curriculum, housing issues or who will be next y e a r ' s General Manager of WTHS. The procedure of running for Student Congress office is simple. First, file for office, pick up a petition in front of the Student Congress office across from WTHS. Second, get 25 signatures from your constituents and turn (file) your petition back to the Student Congress office by Mon-

The 24 representatives are elected every September for a term of one school year and each member represents their residence hall or type of living arrangement. The number of districts is in proportion to the number of residents in various

Being a member of Student Congress does take time. There are weekly meetings that usually contain lively debate on such topics as campus safety to lighter topics as a VCR rentaloutlet for students. Also, each representative will sit on two or three standing boards and committees of the college. These official Hope College committees are made up of administration, faculty and Student Congress representatives. Depending on

day, Sept. 11. The elections will be held that Friday, Sept. 15.

Remember only to campaign in your district, because residents of your district will be the only people eligible to vote for you.

We would like to encourage all persons that want to take an active role in Hope College affairs to file and run for Student Congress. We not only need you, your school and, more importantly, your constituents need you.

Thank you.

On August 31, the Hope College Forensics Association held its introductory organizational meeting. All persons interested in joining the association were invited to attend and gain more information about the structure pnd nature of forensics at Hope College.

The meeting served to introduce potential members to the

various types of events which forensics covers including debate, speech and interpretation. Also discussed was Pi Kappa Delta, a national collegiate speech fraternity, which all Hope College Forensics Association members may become eligible for. The remaining portion of the meeting served as an open forum for any questions which potential

Set partly in p i c t u r e s q u e t u r n - o f - t h e - c e n t u r y Florence and partly in the g o r g e o u s English c o u n t r y s i d e , A Room with a View is a witty and s t r i k i n g l y faithful adaption of the novel by E.M. Forster ("A Passage to India").

Exquisitely p h o t o g r a p h e d , intelligent, romantic, and satirical, a c c o m p a n i e d by some of Puccini s most beautiful music, and acted to perfection, A Room with a View can only be d e s c r i b e d as a very special treat.

The film is the story of Lucy H o n e y c h u r c h , a young Englishwoman who t r a v e l s to Italy in 1907, falls in love, and is e v e n t u a l l y liberated from the m o r e s and c o n v e n t i o n s of V i c t o r i a n England.

The Indigo Girls album blends past, present, future

by Geoffrey L. Penrose Staff Writer Through the depths of the lethargic bowels of today's music, a new duo has risen to bring us some intellectually, musically and seemingly honest tunes.

One song in particular, "Kid F e a r s / ' is reminiscent of some of Hie Smith's work in that it is a powerful ballad with just enough dissonance, both lyrically and musically, to give it a sinister and troubling edge.

Sharp and slightly bitter, the Indigo Girls have quietly come forward with a new album on the Epic label which is distinctly traditional.

Therefore, The Indigo Girls, though a synthesis of the best of two generations of acoustic guitar, offer rich and pleasing sound with just enough snap and verve to make it exciting.

It is traditional because with acoustic guitars and sweetly soaring voices, Emily Saliers and Amy Ray quickly remind one of Joni Mitchell, and their harm o n i e s , e s p e c i a l l y in t h e i r countermelodies, remind one of Simon and Garfunkel or Crosby, Stills and Nash.

Lyrically, The Indigo Girls are also fresh. Through their words, it becomes clear that these women have seen some uncertain times of personal wonderment and severe doubts concerning things in general. Their current hit, "Closer To Fine," is an expression of those doubts and a brief history of their search for answers.

Although they are smart students of the older school, the similarities end with the techniques and sounds, for these women pick guitar better than Joni Mitchell ever did, and their harmonies are never overdone, as Crodby, Stills and Nash's sometimes were and are. Further, although they know the past, they also have ties with the present and future. They have gleaned the best progressive has to offer also. Their instrumentation and attitude are traditional, but their chord progressions and playing styles definitely have the ring of today.

'Our Town

pleases

called today; Take part in the pain of this passion play."

It also should be mentioned that The Indigo Girls have found some of their needed answers in religion. In their song

"Secure Yourself' they tell us "Secure yourself to heaven; Hold on tight, the night has come; Fasten up your earthly burdens; you have just begun." In the voices of such angels, those lines almost seem plausible.

The one flaw in this album is quite easily identifiable. It is the song "Tried to be True." On this song, which could have been good, that band from Georgia which insists upon running its meddling hands all over any new band from Georgia, R.E.M., plays mundane back up while The Indigo Girls try to rise above it. Hiey almost succeed, but not enough to avoid having the song seem sadly out of place.

"Tried to be True" aside, this is a solidly satisfying album. It wants to be heard; it should be heard. On a four star scale, it gets a Neptune.

They state their belief that "There's more than one answer to these questions pointing me; In a crooked line." Also, they express a certain distaste for the college experience in the line: "I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind, got my paper; And I was free."

Their last song, "History of Us," appears to be a resolution of some of their questions. It is a poem and song in a carpe diem vein which asserts that the answers to the questions may appear if we "Love while these moments are still

Hope summer reperatory theater closes

LEARN WITH US Hope students are wetaome to attend adult mini counes which meet Sundays from 9:40-10:35.

by A C. Vanderkolk Staff Writer Friday night's performance of "Our Town" by the Hope Summer Repertory Theatre proved once again that good theater is not exclusive to big cities and bigger budgets.

The stage and props were simple, enabling the audience to concentrate on the performers and , the characters they portrayed.

The costumes show sincere at' tention to detail and helped , establish the setting, turn of the century Grover's Corners, New ' Hampshire, population 1500+. . The play itself, written by Thorton Wilder, centers on two ^families, the Gibbs and, the

Webbs, and follows them through two generations, testifying to their loves, lives and deaths.

It is performed in three acts.

The first shows an average day when the children were still children. The second covers George Gibb's and Emily Webb's wedding. The third and final act is the mo&t ah®tract, but makes the play me classic it is.

Emily dies in childbirth. In this act we experience the juxtaposition of life, death and life after death. And, as in most good drama, the play ends with questions hopefully causing the audience to reflect on what they've seen, beard and felt.

R o b e r t O. B e r d a h l a n d E l i z a b e t h Mestnik* p l a y i n g

George and Emily,really brought the scene at the soda counter to life. Nesbin Blaidell was great as the stage manager, frequently providing the audience with a chuckle or two. And deserving special notice was Hope College Math Professor Frank Sherburne as his portrayl of Professor Willard was very convincing.

Hope S u m m e r R e p e r t o r y Theatre's season closed Saturday night. The play list this summer included "Little Shop of Horrors," "Romeo and Juliet" and "Anything Goes," to name a few.

Local theatergoers will now have to wait for the opening of the Hope College season in October.

Features Ligia Rodriquez joins languages department

by Janet Owen anchor staff writer Ligia Rodriquez joined the Classical and Foreign Language Department to teach Spanish classes. She came to Hope to get away from the big city atmosphere of New York City where she had to live far from campus. Here at Hope she hopes to be able to get acquainted with individual students.

Rodriquez was born in Columbia, South America where she lived until 1975 when she came to New York to attend college at City University. She is unmarried and has no children. Most of her family is in New York or Columbia, but she says she is not lonely because she has "lots of nice

friends" at Hope. She met some of her friends at the teaching workshop Hope holds every year for new faculty.

When not teaching, Rodriquez is working on her doctoral dissertation on sixteenth century Spanish literature and history for City Univerisity of New York.

She enjoys reacting, dancing and listening to jazz and classical music. She also likes to go the theater and to concerts and is looking forward to attending many of the Hope College theater productions and concerts.

When asked what she likes most about Hopei Rodriquez replied, "the students." She said they are eager to learn, interested and intelligent. She is

especially impressed that so many s t u d e n t s a r e taking Spanish because they are interested in it, and not just because it is a coUege requirement to take two semesters of a language.

Rodriquez emphasized that she is very happy here at Hope, despite an attack by a map in class recently, saying, "The campus is nice and the students are sweet."

R o d r i q u e z e a r n e d her Bachelors and Masters degrees in Spanish from City University of New York, where she also did some teaching. She has also taught at Sara Lawrence College in Bronxville as well as several community colleges.

When not entertaining an audience, he is working on a play and a video documentary on "road commentary."

Even though Bailey has a degree in teaching, he decided to become a comedian when he was studying theater. The fact that many comedy clubs came into existence &t that time made the comedy business a good opportunity for him.

Bailey's comic style is comprised of anecdotes about his parents, his childhood and his high school experiences. He considers his style unique in that he is humorous without being offensive.

Sports Football team strives for more

by Bill Meengs Sports Editor After a less than spectacular 1968 campaign which saw the Hope College football team compile a 1-7-1 overall mark, the Flying Dutchmen hope for a return to the form that has made Head Coach Ray Smith one of the winningest a c t i v e Division III coaches.

Hope should be helped in their efforts by a defense that returns seven starters from last year's group. Last season, Hope's defense gave up only 167 points; just six more than the 1987 squad which won a conference championship and a d v a n c e d to postseason play. Hope's defense allowed the team to stay close last year, as five of Hope's seven losses last year were by an average of only six points.

Anchoring the Hope defense for 1989 will be First Team, AllMichigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) senior safety Tim L a m i e o f Grawn. Lamie is a three-year letter-winner and a two-year

starter. He led the team in tackles last year with 100.

Other returning starters in the defensive secondary are juniors Matt Haverdink of Hudsonville, Jim Meyers of Rochester, and Karl Koelling of Lansing. Both starting linebackers - juniors Jayson Stuckey of Carrollton and Ted Remble of St. Joseph - also return.

Hope returns only two starters of the defensive line, however. As only First Team, All-MIAA senior c o - c a p t a i n Kurt Friedriechsen of Hamilton and early season starter Jeff Brown of Muskegon are back for the '89 season.

If Hope is to improve upon last year's record, they will have to improve their offense, which returns just five starters.

The Dutchmen backfield will return two-year starting fullback Mike Tomorsky of Muskegon and wingback Jeff Schorfharr, a junior from Coldwater.

The quarterback race appears to be between Eric Elliott, a junior from Hudsonville, and Jeff Brown, a sophomore from

ON THIN ICE

Greenville.

Hope brings back two starters from the offensive line: junior Mike Balkema of Kalamazoo and senior George Stamas of Grand Rapids.

Ken Kimes of Scottville is the only returnee for the receiving corps, but the kicking game retains its major players for 1989.

Juniors Duy Dang of Tecumseh and Chris Howe of Mason wil I again handle kicking and punting anchor file photo duties respectively. Also back for 1989 are return men Mark VanYou may be wondering where Wieren, a sophomore from my previous sports column "In Holland, and Schorfharr. the Crease" is this year. Well, it Hope has been picked to finish fourth in the conference by The has been retired. It was fun while College Football Preview It's it lasted, but, like Chris Evert, I the lowest the Dutchmen have know when my time has come.

You see "Crease" was starting been picked in a number of to sound the same every week, years. The publication lists Albion as it's preseason favorite and worst of all, it was starting to followed by Alma, Adrian, Hope' sound like Joe Falls. This year I want to try some new ideas in Olivet and Kalamazoo.

Hope opens it's season Satur- this space, and maybe stand on Sept. 9, against DePauw the edge for awhile. Hence the University of Indiana with the name "On Thin Ice." If nothing traditional home Community else, it also ties into Hockey Day game. which is a bonus.

Now I've said this before, but I'll say it again, I don't expect you to agree with everything in this column. It's just my opinions, so if you see something that don't agree with let me know. It's the only way I can tell if I'm doing my job or not. I will try to make this column worthwhile - if not for reading at least for practicing waste basket basketball.

Let's get down to business.

Let's talk U.S. Open. As an avid tennis player. I would watch the Open anyway, but I'm watching this year's Open with added interest sinch Chris Evert has said it will be her last.

Christ is getting out of tennis while she is still relatively close to the top of her game. She has said she just doesn't have the patience to stay out on a court for hours with a girl who is hall iku age and hits nothing but moon balls.

One can't blame her either. She's given the; best years «»f her life to tennis, and has always been an asset to her sport.

Sure she could probably be another Jimmy Connors, who incredibly is still one of the best in tennis at age thirty-seven. She could adjust her game and play for fun, but could we really sit b a c k a n d w a t c h an uncompetitive Evert? I don't think so.

While I don't think Evert can win this years Open (Steffi Graf has a lock on this one), I can still hope. But when one looks at Evert's career, a win at this year's Open would simply be icing on the cake. To give you some idea of how phenominally successful Evert has been she must be compared to Connors. Connors is far and away the all time leader in tournament victories on the men's tour and Chris has won fifty more tournaments than he has. So does one more really matter? Sure it would be nice, but Chris deserves our respect and adoration regardless.

Chris' competitive spirit and good sportsmanship will be sorely missed, but we'll always have our memories of her, and her great rivalry with Martina NavratUova. Steffi Graf may rule now, but women's tennis alltime queen is Chris Evert. An athlete of this stature comes around once in many years. And we should be thankful we were able to enjoy Chris' outstanding And I'll be here again next week skating "On Thin Ice."

IN THE BLEACHERS

goes varsity

by Steve Moore

by Bill Meengs sports editor Hope College's women's soccer team will compete this season with varsity status for the first time.

After six years as a club sport, the team was granted varsity status last spring as women's s o c c e r b e c a m e an o f f i c i a l Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association sport.

After posting a 3-8 mark last fall, the Flying Dutch will make their assault on the MIAA with eleven returning players.

First year coach Stain Slette said, "I can't say we're starting completely from scratch because many of the girls have been in the club for several years." ^ Hope will return junior Lynn Schopp of Carmel, Indiana, who scored all four of her goals in a 4-0 win over Adrian College last year. The list of freshpersons includes Schopp's former teammate Julie Akin of Indianapolis who was a standout high school player.

Slette said his squad will play a team oriented style, "I hope to make it as much of a team sport as possible, which is a very European way of playing soccer.

That's as opposed to South America, where often those countries will have one or two star players who, whenever they get the ball, go all the way and take a shot."

Hope opens the season Sept. 9 against Adrian at 2 p.m. at Buys Athletic Fields.

Slette prepares for season The new women's soccer coach, I Stein Slette, had only good hopes for this first season as a league sport in the Michigan Intercollegiate {Athletics Association.

Although Slette feels "it is very | hard to predict" just how will it will go because of the lack of inofrmation on other new teams. He does Jiink that Calvin and Kalamazoo will be good competition.

For Slette, this the year to start building up the women's soccer team, developing a style of their own, and improving on last year's finish "With a couple of good players from last year," Slette said, "Plus the new freshman, I'm hoping we' going to have at elast a reasonab season."

Slette recently graduated Hope College in 1987. Even before attended Hope College he was an ex change student, coming from home in Oslo, Norway, to Holla High School.

Last year Slette worked part in the Physical Education Depart ment teaching recreation and acti ty classes and heading the Hope RunBike-Swim even. He is now also working as a soccer coach and Resi dent Director with his wife Jane for Scott Hall. Next year he plans ic move on to graduate school at be University of Utah.
