Libertarian presidential candidate Dr. Ron Paul speaks at Hope College

by Beth P e c h t a anchor Associate Editor

The presidential nominee for the Libertarian party, Dr. Ron Paul, spoke last week In Wlchers Auditorium. Dr. P a u l not only explained the Ideals of the L i b e r t a r i a n p a r t y b u t also detailed the p a r t y ' s p l a t f o r m .

Dr. P a u l Is a resident of Lake Jackson, Texas, n e a r Huston.

Originally from P i t t s b u r g h , ennsylvanla. Dr. P a u l received his B.A. from Gettysburg College and his M.D. f r o m Duke U n i v e r s i t y . He t h e n w a s " t a p p e d " by the Air F o r c e and served five y e a r s as a flight surgeon.

A f t e r a t i m e of p r i v a t e practice. Dr. P a u l decided In 1972 to run for public office. He was elected, as a Republican, four times to the United S t a t e s Congress. On J a n . 8, 1987, however. Dr. P a u l gave his letter of resignation to the Republican party, citing " m a s s i v e m o n e t a r y Inflation" and "Irrational and unconstitutional" behavior.

In F e b r u a r y 1987, Dr. P a u l announced his candlcacy for the presidency on the Libertarian ticket.

One of Dr. P a u l ' s first political Influences w a s his exposure In the 1960s to the theory of austrlan economics. "Austrian economics Is a modernization of what Adam Smith would have t a u g h t , " Dr. Paul explained. " T o d a y , " he continued," the United States has a socialist or

Keyenslan interventionist a p p r o a c h . We d o n ' t w a n t government controlling, but we want government helping This causes the stock m a r k e t s to go up one day and c r a s h the next day.

Therefore, Dr. P a u l strongly believes that the United States should r e t u r n to t h e gold standard, wherein the counrty's currency would be tied to the value of gold. He also wants to abolish the F e d e r a l Reserve. In both ways, according to Dr. Paul, people's money would hold Its value b e c a u s e b a n k e r s and politicians a r e not controlling Its worth.

Special Interest groups and those who receive money from them w e r e also criticized by Dr. Paul. He especially attacked Democratic vice-presidential nominee Lloyd Bensten, saying, "Bensten had t h e gall to require that a PAC who c a m e to have b r e a k f a s t with him had to pay $10,000 b e c a u s e he w a s an 'Important p e r s o n ' . " Dr. Paul also supports limiting congressional and s e n a t o r i a l t e r m s to eight y e a r s .

During his speech, tne presidential c a n d i d a t e also noted that the L i b e r t a r i a n m e s s a g e includes the "politics of nonviolence." He said t h a t this m e s s a g e f i t s into h i s own religious beliefs. " I t is based on no violence and no f o r c e , " Dr. Paul stated. " O u r tools a r e persuasion and r e a s o n . " The p a r t y h a s m a d e a pledge, he said, " N e v e r to initiate force, never to initiate aggression a g a i n s t a n y o n e e l s e / ' This pledge, he said is embedded in

Dr. Ron Paul the Ten C o m m a n d m e n t s : "Thou shalt not kill; Thou shalt not steal."

Conversely, he noted that in the c u r r e n t g o v e r n m e n t situation, "If w e ' r e not obedient to g o v e r n m e n t , we a r e threatened. If we don't pay ta x e s they will come a f t e r us with a gun and put us in prison. " I n s t e a d of disobeying the government," Dr. Paul continued, " w h a t we h a v e to do is become the government. The one option we still h a v e in this country is to run for o f f i c e " Dr. P a u l then spoke on the main Issue this election for the Libertarian p a r t y : the national debt. " T h e burden of the debt

falls on your age group," he emphasized.

Dr. P a u l then g a v e an e x a m p l e , " T h e r e is no money In the Social Security s y s t e m ; the day It c o m e s In It's spent. The Treasury system takes the money and puts t r e a s u r y bills In the account.

"Social security is a regressive t a x , " he continued. " T h e r e Is a tremendous a m o u n t taken out on your first dollar. And there Isn't enough of you so this h a s to go up.

4< When g o v e r n m e n t s own money, they just print more.

When you print money, prices go up, i n f l a t i o n g o e s u p a n d unemployment goes u p , " Dr. P a u l explained.

He continued, " W h a t you have a right to is your life and a right to your liberties and a right to keep what you e a r n . " T h a t doesn't s a y , " Dr. P a u l asserted, " t h a t w e don't have a moral responsibility to other people, but that depends on our religious beliefs."

F r e e d o m is a big issue for both the Libertarian p a r t y and Dr. P a u l . "We certainly don't need the government invading our personal lives," h e said. "We need a g o v e r n m e n t that honors and r e s p e c t s f r e e d o m of choice."

This f r e e d o m includes freedom of religion and t h e controversial legalization of d r u g s . " I believe clearly that what you take into your body Is your own choice," Dr. P a u l explained. " T h a t m e a n s you can smoke o r drink or do d r u g s . " Then Dr. Paul countered, " I t doesn't m e a n that I condone the use of drugs. What I condone is f r e e d o m of choice."

Dr. Paul, along with the Libertarian p a r t y , believes that drugs should be legalized for " p r a c t i c a l r e a s o n s . " He said that the $10 billion a y e a r that the g o v e r n m e n t is s p e n d i n g on controlling drugs, "doesn't do a lot of good," citing the fact that drugs a r e being processed and sold In prisons. Dr. Paul also c o m m e n t e d , " E v e r y addict commits, on the average, 240 c r i m e s a y e a r to support his habit."

He believes that drugs are a problem for o u r society but that the problem should not be that of the federal g o v e r n m e n t . "It is a reflection on our society today that so m a n y people resort to d r u g s . " he s a i d . " P a r e n t s , communities and local groups should work together to take care of the d r u g p r o b l e m .

Finally, Dr. P a u l explained his stand on foreign Intervention. He resents the f a c t that the United States spends $50 billion a year defending J a p a n and $125 billion a y e a r defending E u r o p e . "We think we c a n h a v e a much stronger milita r y If we'd just come home. " G e o r g e Washington in his farewell a d d r e s s said to stay our of E u r o p e , " D r . P a u l stated. "We believe that we should have our defenses, but that they should be closer to h o m e . " Dr. P a u l is very optimistic a b o u t t h e s h o w i n g by the L i b e r t a r i a n p a r t y In t h i s N o v e m b e r ' s elections. "A m a j o r i t y of A m e r i c a n s don't endorse either c a n d i d a t e , " he stated. " T h e L i b e r t a r i a n party is the only a l t e r n a t i v e . "

Holland's Jacobs runs for U.S. Senate

by Beth Pechta anchor Associate Editor Calling his c a m p a i g n "Responsible Leadership for a Change," Holland businessman and Libertarian p a r t y m e m b e r Dick J a c o b s is c a m p a i g n i n g for election to the U.S. Senate.

J a c o b s spoke l a s t week in Wlchers Auditorium about his personal political views and a b o u t t h e v i e w s of t h e Libertarian p a r t y .

J a c o b s is running for office because he is " f e d u p with c a r e e r special interest politicians." This is not J a c o b s ' first statewide election a t t e m p t , however. In 1962 J a c o b s r a n for governor of Michigan and, though he lost to Democrat J a m e s Blanchard, received one p e r c e n t of t h e vote.

J a c o b s ' m a i n opponents this

fall a r e incumbent D e m o c r a t Don Reigle and Republican J i m Dunn.

J a c o b w a s especially critical of Reigle, a t t a c k i n g both his a c c e p t a n c e of m o n e y f r o m special interest groups and his political views. According to Jacobs, Reigle holds a position which p a y s a p p r o x i m a t e l y $100,000 per y e a r yet h a s a campaign fund of around $4 million. Also, J a c o b s condemned Reigle's advocacy of foreign and domestic subsidies. J a c o b s is an opponent of subsidies, calling them "legalized t h e f t . " J a c o b s also believes t h a t local government is m o r e favorable to the general populus t h a n federal government. " Y o u r best governement is a t your local level," J a c o b s stated. " F e w of us have the time, the money or the

inclination to go to Washington, D.C." As for how his political views fit into the ideology of the Libertarian p a r t y , J a c o b s said, 'I'm a veryy principled prir person and t h e r e ' s only one principled p a r t y in the United States. T h a t ' s the Libertarian p a r t y . " J a c o b s did discuss t h e fact t h a t his p a r t y w a s not well known. " M a n y of you h a v e n e v e r h e a r d of the Libertarian p a r t y , " he acknowleged. J a c o b s b l a m e s this on the national news media which ignore all c a n d i d a t e s but those running a s Republicans or Democrats.

The L i b e r t a r i a n s a r e hoping this practice c h a n g e s , but won't force the issue, " W e have no Intention of hiring slick ad m a n a g e r s to sell o u r s e l v e s , " Jacobs emphasized. The

Libertarian p a r t y , he said, w a n t s voters to think about the issues and decide for themselves.

The n u m b e r one issue for the Libertarian p a r t y this election is the national debt, J a c o b s stated.

"Currently, the U.S. is $2.2 trillion in debt. T h a t ' s $159,000 for e v e r y A m e r i c a n , " he asserted.

Besides a balanced budget through spending cuts, J a c o b s said that L i b e r t a r i a n s believe in a non-interventionist foreign policy and in a school system t h a t is not g o v e r n m e n t controlled.

Jacobs advocates leadership change -—Jacobs, continued from page 1 J a c o b s Is optimistic a b o u t the f u t u r e of the L i b e r t a r i a n p a r t y .

He spoke of the third p a r t i e s in U.S. History which have m a d e a difference: the Republican p a r t y , the G r e e n b a c k p a r t y , the Prohibition p a r t y , and the Socialist p a r t y .

J a c o b s especially detailed the e f f e c t s of the Socialist p a r t y , which h a s n e v e r e l e c t e d a s e n a t o r , c o n g r e s s p e r s o n or president but h a s seen such p l a t f o r m planks a s a g r a d u a t e d income tax, governmentcontrolled utilities and social security adopted. He a d d e d that both the D e m o c r a t i c and Republican parties are advocating socialistic p r o g r a m s this election, specifically n a m i n g the proposed f e d e r a l day c a r e program.

J a c o b s went on to say t h a t the L i b e r t a r i a n p a r t y and its ideals a r e becoming m o r e popular. He winted to the f a c t that the p a r t y s just 17 y e a r s old and yet has fiad 90 m e m b e r s elected to office, ncludlng three state

The p a r t y , however m a n y o r h o w e v e r few m e m b e r s a r e elected to office, is basically hoping to h a v e an ideologica effect on the elections. " I t isn't always the one with the most votes who w i n s , " J a c o b s said.

Yet, J a c o b s sees the L i b e r t a r i a n views a s appealing to m a n y p e o p l e . • • W e ' r e A m e r i c a n s d e d i c a t e d to the principles of f r e e d o m t h a t o u r Founding F a t h e r s founded the country on and the principles t h a t the Consltiution is founded on."

He continued, "You don't vote for (Republican c a n d i d a t e George) B u s h to k e e p ( D e m o c r a t i c c a n d i d a t e Michael) Dukakis out of office. You don't vote for D u k a k i s to keep Bush out of o f f i c e . Y o u v o t e f o r principles."

Dr. Brady Dr. Allen Brady

by Carol Ormsby anchor Entertainment Editor When people a r e asked what the greatest honor or thrill has been in their lives, most would not say U I had a spider named after m e . " For one thing, most p e o p l e do n o t h a v e t h a t opportunity, nor would it be an overly exciting event in the first place. For Dr. Allen Brady of the Biology department here at Hope C o l l e g e , t h i s m a y be t h e exception to that rule.

One of Dr. Brady's former students. Bob Wolff, proposes to bestow such an honor on Brady.

Wolff, who teaches at Trinity Christian College, found a new species of the genus of spider known as Cyclocosmia. Wolff found the spider in a collection, and determined that this species comes from Mexico.

The story of the spider begins in 1841, when a sketch was published of a spider more commonly known a s a trapdoor spider, for the way it plugs the opening of its burrow with its abdomen. However, this sketch

BLsteP

IbHlC

Njow WBW (MM

was not believed to be accurate, since there were no specimens to be found. The "discovery" of Cyclocosmia T r a n c a t a was ignored until almost seventy years later when it was seen in Florida.

In 1973, Wolff spent a month with Dr. Brady in P a n a m a and Costa Rica, where they did field research with spiders.

If everything goes a s planned, Wolff proposes to n a m e the spider Cyclocosmia Bradyi when he publishes his discovery, in honor of his former teacher.

Both Wolff and Brady a r e interested in the diversity of species. Brady says that changes in small organisms, such as spiders, amy affect m a n later on.

At present, spider populations seem to be decreasing, reflecting a decline in e n v i r o n m e n t a l quality.

Brady says that man sees himself as an overlord, when in fact he should actually seem himself as a caretaker. "He should take care of the smaller organisms, rather than using and or abusing t h e m , " said Brady.

"I think he's great! He's very talented and has a lot to g i v e ! " This quote s u m s up the opinion of the new tap instructor at Hope, Thommie Retter. He brings a feeling of energetic enthusiasm to the t a p floor when he s t a r t s a routine with upbeat music, and improvises to the first few counts. His students laugh at his impressive footwork as he adlibs across the floor. T h e r e is no tension in the room, no anxiety over not knowing the steps. His helpful attitude puts an end to that for t h e students.

To say that Retter is ver> accomplished for his app i- «n

He has p e r f o r m e d in m a j o r events such as the 1987 Miss Michigan P a g e a n t in which he was the feature dancer. He travels continuously, teaching in a variety of cities: Chicago, New York, Milwaukee, Montreal and Cincinatti.

For the a g e of 35 this list would be impressive...at the age of 19 it is incredible. He h a s been dancing since the age of four, actually began teaching at sixteen, and obtained his first professional teaching position at Retter deserves the great deal

Opinion EDITORIAL

Off the Cuff

Media ignore responsibility during presidential campaign Much news has been made this week about the Sunday debate between Democratic nominee Michael Dukakis and Republican nominee George Bush. News forecasters speculated about the outcome, the national television media summed up the debate for us and then pollsters came out with a score regarding who won and who lost.

We at the anchor also regarded this debate with interest.

After all, it is our ]ob to inform our reading public and a presidential debate is certainly big news. But, being a small weekly college paper with no travel budget, covering this type of news Is sometimes difficult. In fact, we are envious of colleges like Kent State who can afford to send photographers to cover such events.

However, we feel that this week we are topping the dallies at large unversltles, city newspapers and the even the national news media. All because we are printing a story about the Libertarian presidential candidate. Dr. Ron Paul.

For some reason, newspaper people, radio people and television people seem to think that there are only two names that will appear on the November ballot for president of the United States. The national news media Is especially guilty.

No mention is ever made of party candidates other than from the Democratic or Republican parties.

Granted, there are fewer people in this country who ascribe to the views of the Libertarian party, or the Socialist party, or the Communist party, or even the Nazi party. This does not mean, however, that these third parties are any less important and that the media should be able to Ignore them.

The media has the responsibility to Inform the public.

Especially those media who have the resources to cover third parties and their candidates and especially during a presidential election year.

We at the anchor feel that national news syndicates, from which major newspapers get much of their Information, should assign at least one person to cover each of the third party presidential candidates.

We also feel, considering the Impact of television, that nightly news shows should devote at least half of their broadcast to the doings and the views of all the presidential candidates. For millions of Americans, television Is their only source of Information about the presidential campaign.

Finally, we think that when debates are held, they should be between all the candidates, not a select two. Whether or not the views of the Republicans and Democrats are the majority views, the American people have a right to hear the positions of the third parties.

Unfortunately, we realize that changes such as these will probably not occur before the 1988 elections are held. But we urge that during the next four years, the media takes these points to heart. Otherwise, no one wins.

Editor's Note: The Hope College anchor will accept letters to the editor, so long as the author's name and address appear, tor purposes of verification. The anchor will, however, honor requests to withhold name and address from publication. If It Is so desired and there Is Justifiable reason for withholding this Information.

Letters should be 250 words or less. Address all correspondence to Editor, Hope College anchor, Holland, MI 49423.

Let's have some praise

for hard workers

Eric Shotwell Just last week, I talked about how the anchor had such a bad reputation around c a m p u s . Now Tm going to toot o u r horn a bit.

It looks like the a n c h o r ' s on its way up in the world...we s e e m to be getting better with every issue. I suppose t h a t ' s due to the fact that we have got a staff with the most potential for growth that the anchor h a s ever seen.

Not only do we h a v e returning s t a f f m e m b e r s to lend t h e i r experience, but we've got some very capable new m e m b e r s as well. Some you h e a r about all over c a m p u s , while others you may not. E i t h e r way, since w e ' r e one month into our 101st y e a r , I thought I would m a k e s o m e of our staff known to the c a m p u s as a whole.

First, there's Beth P e c h t a .

This is Beth's sophomore y e a r at Hope, and already she's proved her worth as Associate Editor. I couldn't do it without ya, Beth.

T h e n w e ' v e got K a y l e n e Shannon, our News E d i t o r .

Praised by more than one Hope professor for her writing skills, I couldn't pick a better News E d i t o r h e r e a t Hope. T h e Assistant News Editor, Julie

Thornes, also h a s a journalistic gift, and will likely be taking over Kaylene's place when she leaves in the spring.

Rounding out our b a s i c editorial staff a r e Carol O r m s b y , Entertainment, and Bill Meengs, Sports. Carol wrote m a n y of the e n t e r t a i n m e n t f e a t u r e s last year, and Bill wrote a s a 4 4 scab" sports columnist for us last y e a r during the infamous N F L strike.

Two of the bright spots on our staff include J i m Monnett, whose "Slip of the Mind" column is sometimes funny, s o m e t i m e s sad, and sometimes just plain weird; and Jon Hofman, who is our Photo Editor, and somehow always m a n a g e s to get the pictures developed just in the nick of time. A difficult task, considering he also is editor of "The Inklings." It's a m a z i n g that he h a s time to Inkle and t a k e pictures for us, too.

Newer possibilities for fulltime staff m e m b e r s include Sally Davis, whose first column is in this issue (send any h a t e mail to her directly...just kidding, Sa ly), Sarah Thompson, who is faM becoming a F r e s h m a n whiz at layout, and Mary Taylor, who dominated the reporting scene

Hope College

Editor-in-chiel

last y e a r in 4 , News f i u u i Hope College" and m a y write a column for us.

Oh, and I almost forgot the one person who s e e m s to be receiving the most p r a i s e of any of us: W a d e G u g i n o , our new cartoonist. L e t ' s hope that if he has to m a k e a decision between basketball and drawing for the anchor, he suddenly shrinks several feet.

Well, t h a t ' s just about everyone, except for me. All 1 do week a f t e r week is m a k e sure there's h a r m o n y around here, in order to get the paper out on Wednesday In the past, that's been an enormous task, and editors have sacrificed their academic status as well a s their social lives to fulfill it, with little compensation for their work.

This m a y oe true again this y e a r , but at least with a competent staff like the one we've got, it m a k e s the job a lot easier.

So if you see one of the staffers I've mentioned around campus, let them know what you think of the anchor. And tell them thanks for me.

Things I think I think

Jim Monnett

On the Way Out Hope needs. . .

/ As I e n t e r my fourth y e a r at Hope, 1 a m surprised that 1 still get occassionally asked, MWhy did you pick Hope College?"

There w e r e m a n y reasons and even a f t e r four years, 1 can still say I m a d e the right choice.

Everyone has their own reasons and if your expectations had not been met, you probably wouldn't be here now. My point is that Hope offered you something that your other choices did not, from its small size to the excellent faculty. The reasons v a r y , yet you c a m e here.

As I said, t h e r e a r e m a n y good reasons for m e to stay a t Hope but is it worth $10,800 a y e a r ? Am 1 getting my m o n e y ' s worth, a r e my expectations of what I am paying for being satisfied? These a r e tough questions, because you have a right to get what you have pay for. But w h a t does the school promise you? The catalog, handbook, and yearly Convocation a d d r e s s f r o m the President s t a t e the basis of what you a r e entitled to and can aspire to a t this college.

Size w a s a big factor for me. I c a m e f r o m a relatively small high school and w a s used to the personal attention granted to all students. It w a s m o r e than that, though; I looked at m a n y small schools but none of them had as much a c t u a l concern and interest in m y education, c a r e e r and personal goals.

I w a s also impressed by the o v e r a l l a t m o s p h e r e of t h e c a m p u s , its beauty and its closeness. This c h a r i s m a is maintained because the student body h a s a l w a y s been a m a n a g e a b l e size for the administration and faculty. The sophomore and f r e s h m a n classes

Sally Davis each have over a hundred m o r e m e m b e r s than the class of 1989.

With 57 percent of high school graduates pursuing college degrees this y e a r (7 percent m o r e than last y e a r ) , colleges everywhere a r e receiving an u n p r e c e n d e n t e d n u m b e r of qualified applicants. While the seemingly small n u m b e r of only 2,780 students does not send anyone into a panic, it should m a k e all of us think about what we c a m e here for.

It is not the acutal number, but the rate at which we got there.

When enrollment Jumps nearly ten percent in less than four years, what is the trade-off? The faculty have to teach m o r e entrylevel courses and take on m o r e advisees, thus having less time for r e s e a r c h and individual projects or s e m i n a r courses with upper level m a j o r s .

It t a k e s t i m e f o r t h e d e p a r t m e n t s to r e - e s t a b l i s h faculty needs. They have to determine the interests of the upcoming classes and the a r e a s in which students will m a j o r .

For example, business and a c c o u n t i n g h a v e been v e r y popular recently, but it took t i m e for Hope to hire m o r e professors to cover these a r e a s . Class scheduling is never easy, but when these l a r g e classes s t a r t competing for s e a t s in Senior S e m i n a r . . .1 a m glad Til be gone.

Housing and boarding a r e another nightmare. Considering just the problems of the t e n a n t s in Centennial P a r k A p a r t m e n t s where I live, I a m surprised Student Development still answers the phone. With a strong desire to have full capacity in all c a m p u s housing they pack us in as tight as sardines# In an e f f o r t

to maintain a residential college atmosphere for m o r e students than they have capacity for, underclassmen fill the d o r m s and upperclassmen who cannot get off-campus permission a r e parcelled into a p a r t m e n t s n e a r (and not-so-near) to c a m p u s .

Phelps and the " s c r a m b l e s y s t e m " had trouble handling the noon-hour s t a m p e d e (11:0011:30) when I was a f r e s h m a n .

They will have an even tougher job ahead if enrollment continues to climb. (I hope that is not the s o u n d of b u l l - d o z e r s a n d construction crews I hear coming to build " P h e l p s I I " ) .

Which brings m e to the other student alternative which is the Kletz. DeWitt Center was originally m e a n t to be a student union. Other than a small cluster of offices, the radio station and t h e c o f f e e s h o p , it is an administration building.

In that spirit, it s e e m s that the Kletz c a t e r s to t h e administration and staff. Instead of being delighted at the e x t r a business f r o m students not on meal plan, they a r e a g g r a v a t e d by our presence. This should be the perfect opportunity for expansion, experimentation and investment in an unrealized asset. With all the students looking for c a m p u s jobs, it would seem that some would h a v e e x p e r i e n c e a n d i n t e r e s t in r e s t a u r a n t s or c a t e r i n g and would like planning such an expansion.

Hope has a history of excellence and tradition.

President Jacobson has begun strategic planning to deliniate the future of this college. At a senior, 1 am amazed at the changes that have taken place in only four years. A lot of good could come from further changes, but real losses could come, too.

The students are Hope College, we own it, because we pay for it io tuition and because it will be a part of us for the rest of our lives as alumni. You have a reason for being here and should have a voice in planning its future. If Hope is going to be bigger, then it should take smaller bites, or it will be the students who go hungry.

. . .Can anyone really believe that this Is a presidential election year? Dukakis vs. Bush. Not exactly the fight of the century.

Neither candidate s e e m s m o r e than m a r g i n a l l y c a p a b l e of leading this great nation. Their ads don't help either. Should the best mud-sllnger be president?

Should the one with the most mud be president? I guess I'll vote Bill and Opus. . . .How come soap b a r s only come In group's of three or one for the price of three? I'm all for planning ahead, but some of our rooms a r e m e s s e s that would befuddle even Miss Marple. Bars of soap go In but they don't come out. So every time I buy a three pack, I use one and lose two.

Bummer. . . ."I don't have many friends but I have the right o n e s " - Max A.Collins, T r u e Crime. . . .Martin Scorsese has taken a real beating over his movie, " T h e L a s t T e m p t a t i o n of Christ." The huge fervor only served to boost ticket sales.

Another columnist (the n a m e eludes me) suggested and I agree, that Christian leaders should stop trying to ban the movie and use It as a perfect chance to point out the true Biblical J e s u s Christ. T h e r e ' s no use pretending that no one In the congregation saw it. I think the fervor Is a great opportunity.

How often Is the n a m e J e s u s Christ going to be all over the fickle media? . .

Since he h a s been appointed a s both d i r e c t o r of t h e CIA a n d Ambassador to China he must have the head for politics, but how stupid does he think I a m ?

for some straight ahead rock and roll. White Heart's songs seemed to be w r i t t e n f o r l i v e performance. The band cranke^ the volume up and j a m m e d out and soon swept into the crowd pleaser "Convertible."

F r o n t m a n Rick F l o r i a n ' s energy was so contagious that the crowd pumped up with the band. Florian smiled the whole time he sang and when he wasn't singing he was dancing up a storm all over the stage. Like Mylon and Brokenheart, the whole band seemed to be having a great time which brought the audience up too.

White Heart then came back on stage and played the scorching "No Taboo," "Lone Ranger " and the disturbing "More Sold Out." The latter with i V chorus.

"They may be sold out to sin, but are we more sold out to H i m ? "

White Heart shook up Calvin Ficldhouse during the second half of the Heartattack 88 show last Saturday night.

The two Christian rock bands, Mylon & Brokenheart and White Heart, took to the stage in front of a near-sellout crowd Each hand brought a different type of Christian ministry to the crowd through their individual styles of rock and roll Mylon & Brokenheart. from Atlanta. Georgia, opened the double bill with their old hit "Trains Up In the Sky" amidst flashing lights smoke. The band then swung into the rousing "Love God, Hate Sin." Mylon L e f v r e with his trademark long black hair sang e a c h song with a t h r o a t y sincerity. Later when the band cleared the stage to let him speak with the audience, he talked with the simple truth of a Southern man who u n d e r s t a n d s how everyone in the audience feels.

Lefvre m a d e a Christian plea for the crowd to sit back and r e m e m b e r that God loves them all. He also talked about the difficulty of getting to know God without reading the Bible.

After the short talk, Brokenheart came back on stage and they pulled out the stops.

Mylon led the band through a well choreographed stunner with their hit 44 Crack the Sky" and then into their latest hit "Won by One." After a twenty minute intermission the six-member band White Heart took the stage

Where Mylon ministered to the C h r i s t i a n s a l r e a d y in t h e audience, Kennedy ministered to people who hadn't m a d e up their minds about Jesus Christ and to those who had m a d e commitments, but needed to recommit themselves to Christ.

To close the show the band brought the level back up with a p r a i s i n g song a b o u t b e i n g carried away by the power of God. Then the lead guitarist Mark Gersmehl broke into a passionate guitar solo that lead into the long finale with the h a r d rocking "Vital Signs."

After the bows and the applaud Mylon and Brokenheart joined the stage for a Christian music standard from White H e a r t ' s early days "We Are His H a n d s . " It was a perfect finish to an emotional concert that combined Christian ministering and some fine Christian hard rock.

Junior Heidi Carigon had 3 goals, sophomore Sue Spring had 2 goals, senior Mary Tyler and s o p h o m o r e Cindy P h e l p s

rounded out the scoring with one goal apiece.

On Saturday Jill E v e r s scored the lone goal with an assist by Mary Taylor against Indiana Wesleyan, from Marion Indiana during the last five minutes of the seventy minute game.

After the g a m e Coach Karla Wolters said, 44 lt was a good close game. Very Intense. It's what we needed. It's good to have a good tight g a m e before Alma.

In other games, we've dominated early in the beginning and we needed this."

Wolters said her team , 4 played well".

Evers, commenting on how the team played, said, "Everybody had a good g a m e . We c a m e back from a first half that was kind of sloppy to play really well in the second half."

The Dutch were scheduled to play Olivet Saturday also, but Olivet canceled because they couldn't field a t e a m .

The Dutch play Alma today at 4 p.m. at Buys Athletic Fields.

My original plan for this week's column was to do a Detroit Red Wings preview. This idea, however, w a s shot down by Editor Eric. E r i c wanted m e to write a column about the Olympics.

By this time, I was already tired of all the Olympic hype and v e h e m e n t l y protested E r i c ' s decision. E r i c was not to be denied, however. He continued to try to persuade m e to write an Olympic column. I finally agreed, and as soon as E r i c let me out of the full Nelson, and put his gun away, I began to write.

I should explain that the reason that I didn't want to write about the Olympics is not that T m not patriotic. On the contrary, I'd love to see the USA win all the gold medals. R a t h e r it's that I ' m sick of all the hype.

F o r a y e a r already we've been hearing about the Olympics.

Who's going to beat who, who'll be there, who won't; South Korea's problems with secuiitv, and whether any events should be held In the North. I mean, by the time the Olympics started all the policical medals had been handed out, and It left m e thinking " W h y a r e n ' t these g a m e s over y e t ? " I decided that If I was going to write an Olympic column, I had better watch some of the events.

The first event I saw w a s J a n e t E v a n s ' first gold medal winning performance. This helped get m e into the Olympic spirit. rint. Hearing H the Star Splangled Banner Bannei being played over the Soviet Union and letUnl E a s t G e r m a n y helped rekindle

Hope College Scoreboard Volleyball - Hope opened their MIAA season on Sept. 21 against Kalamazoo with a 11-15,15-4,15-9 victory.

It w a s the Flying D u t c h ' s ninth s t r a i g h t win.

While last weekend the t e a m played In the Ohio Northern Invitational, winning two while losing three, leaving the t e a m ' s overall record at 13-5.

Field Hockey: Tuesday, September 20; Hope defeated Albion 11-0; setting a new school record for goals scored. On Saturday, September 24, Hope defeated Indiana Wesleyan 1-0.

Football - Hope c a m e away with a 15-15 tie against Denison.

Hope scored on a 1 y a r d run by Mike Tomorskyk, and a TD pass from Mark Hahn to J o e Cossey.' '

Soccer - Calvin defeated Hope 3-0 on Sept. 20, but the Flying Dutchmen turned it around in a big way against Olivet winning 70. Hans H i e m s t r a had a p a i r of goals in the g a m e .

Golf - T h u r s d a y ' s (Sept.22) meet at the Grand Haven Country club w a s cancelled due to the weather. .No m a k e up d a t e has yet been s c h ^ d u l ^ .

my patriotic fire.

Since then I've m a d e It a point to support the U.S. In all their events; except one.

The one event I refused to support the U.S. In was the m e n ' s 100M. Is Carl Lewis really as big of a " d w e e b " as he s e e m s to be, or Is It ]ust m e ? Either way I was rooting for C a n a d a ' s Ben

Johnson, even though he's a bit "dweeblsh" hlmselr Carl spent the days before the race telling us he was going to run his own race and not worry about anyone else, (anyone else meaning the rest of the field excluding Johnson, Johnson he would worry about).

Johnson went through the qualifying heats with very little effort, while Lewis w a s trying to see how fast a time he could post.

P e r h a p s Lewis used up too much energy In his prelims and didn't have enough to catch Johnson when It counted.

More likely it was because Johnson had tired of hearing Lewis run his mouth off about how 44 lucky" Johnson's previous wins were over him.

Johnson simply set a t r a p for Lewis that worked to perfection.

We even saw Lewis looking over his shoulder three times during the race; trying to see where Johnson was.

Sorry Carl, you'd have had a better view of Johnson if you looked straight a h e a d ; he was the one running away from you, stealing f r o m your goal of four more golds at the s a m e time.

Another thing that bothers me about these Olympics Is the host country. I ' m not an expert on Olympics, but I'd have to say these a r e being run very poorly.

T h e r e ' s been three m a j o r controvlersles In the boxing competition already, and the Koreans have had a hand In all three. Is this coincidence or a r e the K o r e a n s ' r e c e n t boxing successes due to less than honest means?

I'm not sure, but I'm sure we'll find out In f u t u r e months.

Granted, the schedule dispute was partly fault of the U.S.; they should have checked on It If they were confused. But It's the host's responsibility to m a k e sure the schedules a r e clear, and In that Korea failed.

The other two protests a r e entirely Korea's fault. T h e r e ' s no excuse for the Korean coaches and officials to assault a referee.

If you don't like a decision, protest through official means, not with your fists.

Some events that really got m e excited have been volleyball, basketball, the swimming and diving events, and water polo.

The American t e a m s in all these events a r e exciting, and seem to be way out in front of the rest of the world. Water polo is really an interesting sport. They have a goal c r e a s e and a penalty box.

I've decided that w a t e r polo Is what hockey players play when the ice melts.

Another event that took place last week that impressed m e w a s the f r e s h m a n win over the sophomores in the Pull...Hope's own version of the Olympics. The fact that the freshmen were able to win is what impressed me; not the Pull Itself. You see, where I'm from we have a tug of w a r between Petoskey and Harbor Springs that spans 3 miles of Lake Michigan. If you want to impress m e with the Hope College Pull, have the team tug across the Grand River with the losing t e a m having to take a swim. Now that would Impress me. See you next week . . .In the Crease!

The Penalty Box 1. Chris "Bobo" Allman 2:00 minutes for Indecent exposure.

2. Randy Johnson 5:00 minutes for stealing a cucumber out of a f a r m e r ' s garden during a crosscountry practice.
