Teal and grey posters, a main display in the library, and a highlighted topic of conversation in classrooms have been sprinkled throughout campus, each entity begging the question: W h o was AJ Muste? The answer begins right here at Hope College. After graduating in 1905, AJ Muste went off to pioneer the peace movement and shape a legacy that has inspired the most influential nonviolence movements of all time. He was born in the Dutch shipping port of Zierikzee in 1885 to parents Martin and Adriana. The family immigrated to the United States in 1891 and settled in the Dutch Reformed Community of Grand Rapids. He was raised in an environment rooted deeply in the Christian faith and Biblical text. After his time at Hope, he married college sweetheart, Anna Huizenga. After his education at Hope, Muste went on to pursue a

However, ultimately, his faith became the light that led his quest for peace. A fellow labor radical and activist, Sidney
Lens, explained that “for Muste the term ‘religious’ and the term ‘revolution’ were totally synonymous.” This life mission of peace led him to several counts ofjailtime due to trespassingand disturbing
the peace in peaceful protests. Specifically, the Lawrence Textile Strike of 1919 which was held in response to wage cuts for immigrant workers. As a strike leader, Muste was beaten and arrested.
His passion forchange did not waver or sneak to anger when faced with adversity. Instead, his responses were often calculated and thoughtful. Being careful to not attack those involved with war, but the body that tied them to it. In his own words, “W e cannot have peace ifwe are only concerned with peace. War is not an accident. It is the logical outcome of a certain way of life. Ifwe want to attack war, we have to attack that way of life.” Critics of Muste see his entanglement with the Communist party as a reason to disassociate from the rest of his efforts. His involvement primarilyincluded hisleadership of the American Workers Party which combined with the Trotskist Communist League of America. However, in 1936, after time spent traveling in Europe,

52nd Community Day consolidates Holland Alayna Parsons-Valles C a m p u s C o -E d i t o r
Hope College joined the Holland Community Saturday, Sept. 9 to feature live music at a traditional picnic, celebrate a new era in Hope football and women’s soccer and see the sights of Windmill Island Gardens in the celebration of the 52nd annual Hope/Holland Community Day. Windmill Island Gardens proudly sports 256-year-old DeZwaan Windmill, 36-acres of gardens and Posthouse museum with shops that many of the Hope community enjoyed. Hope staff member, Greg Olgers, shares the beginning of Community Day and the long standing relationship between Holland residents and the faculty, students and staff of Hope. The event debuted in October 1966 as a Community Ox Roast, held in conjunction with the Hope College centennial celebration. Like the original event, which was the idea of former mayor Nelson Bosman, subsequent Community Days have provided an opportunity

Freshmen aren’tthe only new faces students and faculty will see on Hope College’s campus this fall. Fr. Nicholas Monco, a priest hired by the St. Benedict Institute,has startedhis ministry on campus this semester. “It’s like I'm a freshman in college all over again,” he jokes. Although he is based on campus, Fr. Monco technically works for the St. Benedict Institute, a ministry which, according to its website, “seeks to strengthen Catholic identity amongst the Catholic students as well as encourage Christians in their faith on the Hope College campus.” His hiring couldn’thave come at a better time as Catholicism on campus isgrowing. According to Hope’s website, Roman Catholicism is the largest Christian denomination represented at Hope College with 18 percent. However, his position at Hope is slightly different from his last role. Fr. Monco recently spent the past four years teaching at Fenwick High School in Illinois, his alma mater. There, he interacted with students and teachers, some of w h o m taught him when he was a high school student. “I always had this dream of going back [to Fenwick] and teaching theology,” he says. “But after four years there, the Provincial wanted to expand into more campus ministry, and he asked me to check out this possibility at Hope. After looking, I thought it'd be a great fit.”
wishes to impact Hope, Fr. Monco points out two specific things: “Goal number one is to help deepen the faith of those who are already devoted help the faithful be more faithful. The second thing, and the harder thing to do, is to reach out to those Cathohcs who are not practicing.” He has already started working towards achieving these goals, as he has started offering Mass, hearing confessions, leading prayer groups and organizing Bible studies. Students are encouraged to get involved, too. He’s looking for many ways to connect. “If you’re interested in learning about what Hope Catholics is all about, just start showing up for Mass and meeting fellow Catholics,” he says. “Also, email me, and I’d be happy to connect people wherever would be best.” If students would rather connect with Fr. Monco faceto-face instead of email (his email is nicholas.monco@ saintbenedictinstitute.org), they can stop by his office located on the second floor ofLubbers Hall.

Nearly 45 years ago, in 1972, man stepped upon the lunar surface during the Apollo 17 mission. In the decades since, the space industry and N A S A have chosen to focus on low Earth orbiting projects, such as the International Space Station. While these programs provided humans with vital informa tion about operating in space, manned deep space programs remained on the backburner of N A S A ’s budgets. However, this era seems to be at its end, and a new beginning for deep space exploration is on the horizon. Private companies such as SpaceX and Blue Origin are revolutionizing the space industry. These companies have created a new interest in return ing to the moon, since itmay be an important stepping stone to N A S A ’s ultimate goal of putting humans on Mars by the 2030s. N A S A ’s program, Deep Space Gateway, a small space port to be used as a lunar base of opera tions, is currently in progress. This would serve as a crucial staging center for future mis sions such as those to the red planet, Mars. Technology and deep space flight development

2011. N A S A is as well planning a manned lunar flyby with its
Space Launch System and Orion rocket programs. Many other Aerospace companies also have their eyes set on the moon. Moon Express, a Florida-based company plans on sending its MX-1E spacecraft to conduct various experiments heighten ing a constant U.S. presence on the moon. President Trump, still in his early days of office, has expressed his desire to have America return to the moon. Recently he has tapped Okla homa Republican congressman, Jim Bridenstine, as NA S A ’s next administrator. He is a strong advocate of returning to the moon and establishing Ameri can dominance. “W e all want to get to Mars in 2033 (but the moon) is critically important to the geo-political position of the United States of America” as he said in a hearing of the space committee. “Mars isthe horizon goal. It’s critical. W e need to get there (but) the moon I believe is necessary.” With these words from the future N A S A administrator, as well as private aerospace compa nies, man’s return to the moon seems to be inevitablewithin the next few years. If scientists can make the moon habitable for hu mans, will space travel to other planets be successful?

O n early Saturday, Sept. 9, Governor of Florida Rick Scott ordered for 6.3 million people to evacuate the state. “The biggest thing you can do now is pray,” Gov. Scott said on Sunday after noon. With the aftermath of Hur ricane Harvey hitting the south east coast of Texas, Hurricane Irma will result in similar con sequences, initially starting as a Category 5 hurricane when it reached the Caribbean over night on Sept. 8. However, it had weakened down to a Category 2 hurricane when it hit through Naples. Its path is predicted to hit up along the western coast of Florida all the way up to Tampa. Such mass destructions from this tropical storm resulted in millions of residents being or dered to evacuate. Additionally, destruction such as power out ages, flooded streets and broken water distribution lines have left thousands homeless. Officials recorded seven deaths in Florida and about 27 people killed in the Caribbean. Highways were bumper-tobumper with traffic, while gas stations had to provide fuel for thousands of cars that Friday. It was so severe that some stations had hours-long waiting lines, while some even ran out of fuel. There was heavy traffic in
the airline industry as well. On Monday Sept. 11, Miami Inter national Airport (MIA) closed their passenger flights after Hurricane Irma flooded the ter minals. Some officials even sug gest that the water damage had seeped through the airport’s glass panes. The aviation direc tor and C E O of Miami Interna tional Airport, Emilio Gonzalez, tweeted on Sunday that the air port “sustained significant water damage throughout.” While airlines are still able to transport flight members into the airport to allow for prepa ration for recovery, M I A had to cancel hundreds of incoming and outgoing flights scheduled for the weekend due to the hur ricane. However, one airline demon strated heroic actions as it suc cessfully flew over Hurricane Irma from John F. Kennedy In ternational Airport (JFK) to San Juan, Puerto Rico (SJU). Delta Airlines Flight 431 de parted from the JFK airport gate at 8:12 a.m. to arrive in San Juan. At that time, the airplane, Boeing 737-900ER flew over the Caribbean when Hurricane Irma was a Category 5 storm with 185 mph winds. The three hour, 49 minute flight turned into a treacherous race to beat the storm as several aviation fans were monitoring the flight progress through online track ing services. The flight landed at 12:01

Perspectives on D A C A :Hope students’opinions W e are failing our country By: H a n n a h Oostdyke-Howard W e arefailingour country. Right now, America is too hung up on building a wall or hating on the opposing political party to see actual issues arising. In case you haven’t been into the media lately, President Trump’s ad ministration has decided to rescind DACA, which stands for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. D A C A allows immigrants who en tered the United States as minors to apply for a twoyear deferral of deportation and makes them eligible for a work permit. N o w that this policy has been overturned, over 800,000 people have to “self-deport” in six months. H o w is that fair? The simple and obvious answer is that it is not fair. These are people who grew up here, went to school here, and have been praying that, one day, they can actually become an American citi zen. A lot of these Dreamers are stillminors and they have to make arrangements to return to their native coun try within six months time, unless Congress votes on their behalf. This is a coun try built from immigrants. There were no white men in America before the Pilgrim age. W h y is itso hard for us, whose ancestors came from European countries, to ac cept those who are trying to come here now? What is the difference? The thing that makes my blood boil the most, is the fact that our country was founded on the belief that everyone had the right to come to America to live the way they wanted, but we are not allowing those coming here in the present day to do so nor to live freely. Most immigrants right now, dbcumented or undocumented, live in fear of being deport ed. Yes, I agree that most immigrants should become legal, but, personally know
Don't get mad, get even By: Colin O ’Connor
ing someone who is an im migrant going through that process, it is incredibly hard as well as expensive, espe cially for those who are un able to work. This isjust not always possible. I am a white American citizen that is over the treat ment of immigrants. In fact, I am sick of the way we talk about immigrants, especially ones who come from Latin American descent. I am sick of hearing about that stupid wall of hatred. I will always stand up for those who are voiceless in our society be cause, currently, we’re trying to get rid of them. Rescind ing D A C A is not only cruel and harmful to our immi grants, it’s harmful to our society, whether you choose to see that or not. The White House administration has just removed the rights for hard workers, children and have taken away cultural dif ferences that would make America even more unique and valuable. For a country that sure loves to say “land of the free,” it sure seems as ifwe wear a ball and chain.
The recent nullification of the executive order referred to as D A C A brings into question, once again, the purpose of our representatives in Washington, and the morally reprehensible politicalization of human be ings, many of w h o m have lived in this country since well be fore they reached the age of ac countability. You may recall that D A C A was issued as an execu tive order by President Obama; you may not know that Presi dent Obama himself questioned the legitimacy of his power to issue such an order. Itisthe view of myself and many others that the executive order was issued in response to congresses total inability to reach an agreement regarding illegal immigrants of the past, present and future. While many despise Presi dent Trump for his revocation of DACA, I ask you to not di rect your anger towards him, but rather towards those whose inability to govern created the issue in the first place. Had congress been able to reach an agreement over immigration, the legally questionable execu tive order would have never been needed in the firstplace. Instead of putting the blame on President Trump, directing itat the representatives respon sible for the stalemate over the situation is a much more effec tive use of D A C A supporter's time. Instead of angrily support ing an illegal solution that only serves to further politicize the issue, pressing your representa tives to actually work towards a permanent legal measure will hopefully depoliticize the issue while, at the same time, allow for the millions of people currently in legal limbo to receive clar ity on their status in the United States. Regardless of your politi cal leaning, the status of illegal immigrants and their families is one of the more pressing moral matters of this age. Don’t get mad at the person, get mad and even with the system that politi cized the problem yet has failed to solve it.
DACA: w h a t w e need to k n o w By: M o r g a n Brown Recently, D A C A (De ferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) rose as a topic of debate in politics. Just a few days ago, President Donald Trump announced his of ficial plan to end the pro gram, which sparked both praise and heated protests regarding his decisions. As with any political issue, it is difficult to know where we stand unless we know the facts, so here I've compiled a list of a few important things to note about Presi dent Trump’s decision. 1. W h a t is D A C A ? In 2012, former presi dent Barack Obama created DACA, which assists im migrants under age 31 who moved to the United States before turning 16 years old. Those protected by the act are called Dreamers. Essen tially, the act allows a two year period ofdeferralofthe deportation of illegal immi grants who pass a vetting procedure, and allows them to obtain work authoriza tion. D A C A affects roughly 800,000 immigrants. 2. The effects of DACA's end are not all im mediate. While applications for the program are no longer being accepted, President Trump purposefully al lowed a six month leeway period between his an nouncement and the pro gram’s official end (when work permits will no longer be valid), in order to leave the option for Congress to act and create a program to help Dreamers in a different manner. 3. There are a few pro grams being considered to protect those affected. These acts could be a whole story themselves,
but the BRIDGE Act, the D R E A M Act and the R A C Act are currentlyheing con sidered by Congress, and each have support from both Democrats and Re publicans, so it is possible that Congress could debate and shape one of these acts into a program that as sists Dreamers in place of DACA. Personally, the elimina tion of D A C A is something that I’m torn on. I tend to lean in a more conservative direction, so there are obvi ously principles of the re peal that I agree with. I am a strong supporter of legal immigration, and I truly be lieve that as soon as illegal immigrants turns 18, they should immediately embark on the road to citizenship. Those who feel no need or desire to be an official part of our country should not be here in the first place. From a legal standpoint, the removal of D A C A is one step towards halting illegal immigration and returning jobs to American workers, which is exactly what Presi dent Trump promised in his relentless 2016 campaign. That being said, I am sympathetic for the chil dren protected by D A C A who were unwillingly brought to our country and now face the reality of sepa ration from their home. O b viously, Ispeak from an out sider’s perspective and can never understand the panic and anxiety that these chil dren are currently facing. While I support President Trump in upholding his campaign promises, I think perhaps there are other op tions, such as a temporary program in place of DACA, rather than striking fear into the hearts of innocent people who call the United States their home. I will be praying for those affected every day.

Classes are in full swing at Hope College, yet summer is still fresh in the minds of students. For many, summer is synonymous with attending concerts, and that post-concert nostalgia lingers long after ears have stopped ringing from the eardrum-shattering bass. For those yearning to attend one final concert in 2017, fear not. The Hope College Concert Series is bringing six acts to campus this fall semester with five dates for you to get your concert fix before the new year rolls around. The first performers to step footon campus on Sept. 22 are no strangers to Hope. The husbandwife duo Gungor returns to Dimnent Chapel bringing their catchy, Christian-themed alternative and indie-folk songs with them. In addition to being familiar with Holland, Michael Gungor studied jazz guitar at Western Michigan University and lived in Grand Rapids for a period of his life before moving to Los Angeles with his wife, Lisa. Tickets to see Gungor are $8 for Hope students. Following Gungor’s Friday night performance, the indierock group Big Thief is set to
perform on Saturday, Sept. 23. The concert is just a short walk from campus at Holland’s Park Theatre. The band, led by lead singer Adrianne Lenker and accompanied by guitar, bass and drums, released their second album in June of this year, so expect their set to have a fresh sound. Tickets are $5 with a Hope student ID. Concert-goers will have to take ahiatusfor about a month to get their bearings after the backto-back concerts by Gungor and Big Thief, but on Oct. 26, the Concert Series returns with a performance by Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors. The foursome, led by the band's namesake on vocals and accompanied by a guitar, drums and bass, will perform at Jack H. Miller Center for Musical Arts. Hailing from Memphis and East Nashville, Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors will bring a folkrock vibe to Hope. With songs like “Yellow Rose of Santa Fe” and “California,” listeners will feel a sort of warm nostalgia of American summers filled with nights by a campfire. Tickets for this show are $7 for students or $25 the day of the show, and VIP options are available for access to a pre-show Q & A session with the band members. O n Nov. 4, the concert

The double w h a m m y at Dimnent Chapel provides an upbeat atmosphere compared to the calmer concerts before it. This performance will be the 2/3rds mark of their regional “Hometeam” tour that starts on Oct. 18 in Florida, KB’s home state. Both KB and Trip Lee are hip-hop rappers, and their popular songs include “Church Clap,” “Crowns and Thorns” and “Manolo.” Be sure to purchase
your tickets for $18 in advance; there are only 300 available for the Saturday night performance. For the final installment of the Concert Series, students will have a chance to listen to some familiar songs if they frequent the weekday chapel services. Liz Vice, the artist behind the songs “Empty M e Out” and “Abide" will be performing at Hope on Friday, Nov. 10. In addition to performing at the chapel service that day, Vice will, also be performing a full-length
show that evening. Students are able to purchase tickets for $5. For those unfamiliar with Vice’s music, the singer hailing from Portland has a gospel and Christian R& B feeling to her songs that are sure to make you tap your toes and sway to the beat while you listen. Whether you attend all of these concerts or only one, you will not be disappointed by the selection of artists that the fall concert season has to offer the west Michigan community.

As the aircools and the leaves fall, we want to close windows, grab a cup of hot coffee and curl up in a blanket. This is often accompanied by or watching multiple episodes of a T V show in one sitting— an action of which the television streaming company, Netflix, has declared themselves king. Classics such as “The Office” or “Friends” will always be around to re-watch, but listed below are a few shows worth considering if you want something new. If you haven’t gotten enough of the current political action, look no further than “House of Cards.” Starring Kevin Spacey, this Netflix original is an American political drama about a power-hungry congressman seeking revenge in Washington, D.C. after being passed for the appointment of Secretary of State. Since the show’s beginning in 2013, “House of Cards" has received 33 Primetime E m m y and eight Golden Globe nominations for its first four seasons. The fifth, which arrived in May 2017, has continued to accumulate greater viewer followings. Political dramas too much for you right now? Want to jump into the fall season with something scarier? Check out the wildly popular “Stranger
Things”, a sci-fi thriller set in 1980’s Indiana. After four young boys find a mysterious girl while searching for their missing friend, supernatural events begin to take over their town, and the boys are fighting back. With trending hashtags on Twitter like #JusticeForBarb, an E m m y nomination for Outstanding Drama Series and the rising fandom for the young actors starring in the series, “Stranger Things” won't slow down anytime soon. Season two becomes available Oct. 31. Ifcomedy ismore your cup of tea, give “Master of None” a try. Aziz Ansari, known best by his role as Tom Haverford in “Parks and Recreation” co-created this series and plays the lead role of Dev Shah. In this comedydrama hybrid, we follow Dev in his romantic, professional and cultural endeavors in N e w York City. “Master of None” addresses modern dating, racial and generational perspectives and Dev’s love of pasta. Ansari's first season of the show won a 2016 E m m y for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series, and both seasons one and two have a Rotten Tomatoes 100% approval ratings. “Master of None" seasons one and two are currently available on Netflix.

Handler’s talk show strays from her former over-the-top show that used to be on E! by covering world issues and interviewing a variety of people like celebrities, politicians and scientists.

She scored three of the teams five goals during last week’smatchup, sealingvictories against Albion and Adrian. FOOTBALL: Saturday’s events at Ray and Sue Smith Stadium topped off the weeks stellarplay in spectacular fashion. Making a dependable five-ouhof-five field goals and tacking a 30-yard field goal on top ensured that Senior kicker Darren Ford ('18) carried his weight in the 38-point Dutchmen football outing. There’sno question that the team will rely on the Special Teams Player of the Week and his leg as competition picks up. On the defensive side of the ball, Senior linebacker Griffin Weigl ('18) anchored the dominant Hope defense with eight solo tackles that included a key sack in the game. Members of the defense seemed to follow Weighs lead en route to shutting out Defiance (111.) and limiting their offense to just 127 yards of production.

H o m e squad defies Defiance on Community Day Bradley McNicholas A
n c h o r contributor
Week two of college football ended with Hope College’s first win of the season at home. The Hope College football team delivered on Community Day, defeating the Defiance Yellow Jackets 38-0. Ray and Sue Smith stadium was packed for the Home opener, with over 2,500 students, alumni, and community members attending the game. OFFENSE: The Hope offense looked very good this week, putting up 435 total yards. They were led by Brandan Campbell (T8), who ran for 89 yards and three touchdowns. In a gesture of respect, Campbell wore the number 22 jerseyofhisteammate and fellow rushing partner, Mike Miklusicak (T8), who has been sidelined with a season ending AC L injury. Miklusicak rushed for over 1,000 yards and scored double-digit touchdowns in the 2016 season. Another stand-out on the field was transfer Mason Opple ('20), who completed 15 passes on 22 attempts for 192 yards and two touchdowns. Opple seemed calm and poised in the pocket. He looked good scrambling around the defensive fine and creating plays for his teammates. In all, Opple made 11 rushing attempts for 69 yards. Jake Kozlowski (18) led the wide receiving core with four catches for 56 yards and one touchdown. Hope kept the turnovers to a minimum, with no fumbles and only one interception from Mason Opple. This was a big improvement for the Hope
offense, which last week against Monmouth turned the ball over three times. DEFENSE: The Hope defensive front posted a shutout on Saturday, looking very good in all four quarters. The shutout was the first for the Hope football program on Community Day since 1978. The FlyingDutchmen held the Yellow Jacket’s offense to 127 total yards, and only 17 of those yards on the ground. The Dutchmen front seven dominated Defiance’s offensive line, posting eight sacks throughout the game. Outside ofa few flashes ofgreatness from Defiance Quarterback Logan Mico, the Flying Dutchmen had an answer to anything Defiance threw at them. Hope linebacker Griffin Weigl (18) had a big day, having eight total tackles, one sack, and an interception. Other notable performances include defensive end Zach Telfor (18), who had seven tackles and
one-and-a-half sacks, and Tate most important area that needs Knapp (19), who had six total to improve is the offensive line’s tackles and two sacks. pass blocking.

much longer than they should have. Hope should have put this game out of reach by the third quarter, but they let Defiance stick around. However, this game is a huge step-up for Hope, who will now be primed to face bigger and better squads as the year rolls on. Next week's opponent, Lakeland, will not be as easy a task as Defiance was. Lakeland is a strong program in Wisconsin that consistently puts together quality seasons. Hope will have their hands full against this high-performing group. The next home game will be on Saturday, Sept. 16 against the aforementioned Lakeland Muskies. This game will be the Purple Community game. Proceeds will be generously donated to the Van Andel Institute for research into biomedical solutions that could help cure cancer and many other neurodegenerative diseases. Make sure to come out this Saturday and cheer on Hope.

RISING TO THE CHALLENGE — The Flying Dutch have proven unstoppable through their first matches this year. as Hope beat the Bulldogs 2-0, with goals by Curry and Dalton. Hope women’s soccer has yet to disappoint in its first two weeks of play. Offensively, the Dutch have showcased power ful, attacking play, with many goal-scoring threats. The loss of All-American and national goal leader Elizabeth Pekins last year led to the question of who might fill her shoes. Instead of answering with just one name, the Flying Dutch have shown a dialed-up offense that will baffle opponents with multiple formi
dable threats, such as Przekop, Curry, Bubin, Wittenbach and a host of others. Hope’s defense has been stellar as well, setting the offense up for success by al lowing only 10 shots on goal in the past four games. This team appears to be living up to the high expectations set for them during the pre-season, show casing dominating, confident, high-level play. They will be an exciting team to watch this fall as their season progresses. The Dutch face off against Calvin at home this Saturday at noon.
