Feminism and faith steal C r i t i c a l Issues' stage SARA E LAMERS campusbeat editor

Women's soccer losses a tough match to Kalamazoo.

Sports, page 11,12.

T h e topic of the 19th annual Critical Issues Symposium,"Feminism and Faith; Implications for Life," will be explored f r o m many angles on Tuesday, Oct. 6 and Wednesday, Oct. 7.

"It is only recently that w o m e n ' s voices have begun to be heard in a number of society's important conversations about t h e m , " said A l f r e d o Gonzales, CIS coordinator and Assistant Provost. "These voices will become more evident in our community as the conversation addresses questions of feminism and faith.

The event will begin on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. with the keynote address " L i s t e n i n g to Heretics: Patriarchy, Feminism, and Faith." T h e address will be presented by Allan Johnson, Professor of Sociology at t h e H a r t f o r d C o l l e g e f o r W o m e n at the U n i v e r s i t y of Hartford, in Dimnent Chapel.

"I think this is a very timely topic with faith issues that are currently being dis-* 2 cussed on campus," said Jill Pierson ('00), CIS committee member.

W e d n e s d a y ' s events will include panel discussions, a worship service, and small group discussions. A key-

note address titled " R e f l e c t i o n s on Gender, Justice, and Compassion" will be presented by Carter Hey ward, professor of theolgy at Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge. ' T h e small group discussions is s o m e t h i n g new this year," Pierson said. ' T h e idea is to give students time to interact and share what they have gotten from the speakers."

O t h e r p a n e l s will touch on everything from w o m e n ' s roles in family to their progression through history.

Speakers for this year's symposium come from a variety of faiths and pro-

fessional vocations, which will provide attendees with a range of outlooks.

"This topic is really so emotional, multi-sided, complex and difficult, and yet it is a very important conversation for us to have not only as a college, but as a c h u r c h and as a society," Gonzales said."

"Feminism is about giving voice and allowing people to say and feel as they choose," said Dr. Jane Dickie, Director of Women's Studies, and CIS committee member.

Admission is free and the public is invited to attend. All night classes on Oct. 6 and day classes on Oct. 7 will be canceled.

The Future of the A n c h o r The Anchor is moving, however slowly, into the new era of technologyThe Anchor will be soon be debuting their own web site, with the help of KnowHope. T h e move is nothing new for "official newspapers" and even Division I schools, the step is just another move toward the 21st century.

This new innovation is starting out small. T h e staff is still concentrating on the hard copy side of things, but our Production Editor Amanda Black has been diligently learning the necessary babysteps required for our page.

Perhaps what I like most about the web site is that it's not our page, in the sense of the Anchor staff, but our page in terms of Hope students and faculty.

T h e site will offer all the same articles that the newspaper will offer, minus the pictures, advertise-

ments, and other clever entities that we come up with.

T h e site will o f f e r s t u d e n t s a chance to read the "paper" at their own leisure. Rather than feeling the obligation to pick up a paper and sift through it, readers will have the opportunity to read when they have time.

Readers will also be able to email direct comments to the author of any particular article. This will also aid in writing letters to the editor to me. If a student or professor has a bone to pick, they can take the opportunity to e-mail the staff right there, rather than mulling over it.

The original idea for some sort of web site, came towards the end of last year. I couldn't understand why other schools could maintain one, but we couldn't I enlisted our c o m p u t e r - h a p p y advisor Tim Boudreau to help, and

Michael Zuidema he basically took it from there. He was the one who negotiated the use of K n o w H o p e and he was the one that squelched the fears of the administration.

Computing Information Technology handled the training, and Amanda took it from there.

I ' m hoping that web site will increase readership and ultimately increase student participation and interest on all fronts.

While the staff hopes that readers will still take the time to secure their own hard copy of the newspaper, we realize that students today probably spend more time with a computer than with a newspaper or book. And, perhaps that will make us better as well.

It's no secret that in the past few weeks the Holland Police Department has been involved in breaking u p o f f - c a m p u s parties much more than it needs to be. We are not saying that these parties should not broken up. but we are protesting the manner in which the police have intervened.

For example, a police officer told a student that she did not need to worry about the Minor in Possession (MIP) that she was being given because "all Hope students are rich and all they have to d o is pay a fine." Several students also complained about unnecessary verbal and physical harassment by the police officers involved. At one traditional party l o c a t i o n the police "stopped b y " simply because it was a Saturday night and they may have been hosting a party. There was no

noise or disturbance reports from neighbors or passerby's with which they could justify their invasion of private property. T h e only clue the police had, was given to them by a Public Safety officer when he "happened" to drive by an o f f - c a m p u s comer where the police were questioning two students that had already stated that they had been drinking at another off-campus location. Does Public Safety have the authority to intervene in something that was clearly an off-campus matter and had no connection to Hope College?

Several students have observed Public Officers ignoring calls which were obviously more important tlian handling out MIPs. These calls include Driving Under the Influence and traffic accidents. We also believe that the Holland Police are dispatching too many officers to disband one party. At one time there

Junior expresses support As a junior at Hope College, the conservative Christian atmosphere of our liberal arts institution and the Holland c o m m u n i t y has been an essential aspect of my experience.

Part of the educational college experience is the amount of interesting and i n f o r m i n g speakers that visit Hope College each year.

It has been rumored that Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate G e o f f r e y Fieger will be visiting Hope College's campus in October.

This is a man that was quoted in the Detroit Free Press as describing Jesus Christ as, "just some goofball who got nailed to the cross." This is just one of many offensive comments Fieger has made regarding such groups as Christians, specific Catholic leaders, Jewish rabbis, and

were six cars present at one house to give out 20 MIPs. We believe that the Holland Police Department is not showing students and citizens of this city proper respect. In addition, they are not efficiently using the resources made available to them by the taxpayers.

In the big scheme of things, police attention should be directed towards more dangerous and life-threatening activities than underage drinking in a controlled environment.

be God." C o m m u n i t y m e m b e r s and students alike should be concerned with what Fieger believes in and what he stands for. It worries me that people who hear Fieger's charismatic speaking style may accept his agenda without being critical of his views and opinions that he rarely expresses.

In c o n t r a s t . G o v e r n o r J o h n Engler has led Michigan in reform, while respecting the opinions, beliefs, and values of others. Since Governor Engler has taken office, the state unemployment rate has

dropped to 3.5%, lowest in 40 years.

Furthermore, Michigan has become the n u m b e r one state in m o v i n g people from welfare checks to pay checks. Michigan has also become the nation's leader in school funding.

G e o f f r e y Fieger has o f f e n d e d many people, including myself. As a Christian I can not support a candidate who has mocked my beliefs and values, as well as those of other religions. It is imperative that informed citizens are critical of a candidates actions, views, and opinions. That is how we responsibly choose our elected officials. That is why I will vote to reelect Governor John Engler.

Student encourages integration To the Editor:

GUEST COLUMN

To avoid the malaise of anti-intellectualism, w e need to do as the great American existentialist writer Walker Percy suggests: B e on to something. What we need to be on at H o p e College is an environment, which encourages the integration of faith and learning. As a student, I do not feel that the integration of faith and learning has occurred over the course of the chaplain staff tenure. I do not see evidence of the theme f o r which the college's philosophy statement originated (integrating f a i t h in learning). If the chaplain staff argues that this philosophy has been and is occurring, why don't 1 see the results meeting

A s the general e l e c t i o n c o m e s closer and closer, there s e e m s to be a misconception about Governor John Engler: that he cares about the people in this state. All o n e has to do is to look at his record on any issue, roads, education, or the environment to find the truth.

Since Engler took office, the environment has suffered greatly. Between 1991 and 1995, toxic waste has increased 9% to over 325 million pounds. Michigan now imports garbage f r o m other states, to the point where 15% of our landfills are

When we show support for the fight against violence, we also support those who have survived it. I feel that all you w h o wore a ribbon did so, in part, for me. And all of you w h o refused to take a ribbon...well, a part of you did that against me.

4 'If I d o n ' t take one, I ' m going to look like a bad guy, a r e n ' t I?" I guess that's one reason to wear one.

I was disappointed with the fact that so many students did not even realize that there is an election on N o v e m b e r 3. M a y b e I am too idealistic, but I believe that college students should be o n e of the most k n o w l e d g e a b l e g r o u p s about the

issue and e v e n t s that s h a p e what kind of world we will h a v e in the future. I tend to think that the office of governor would be o n e of those issues that we should be c o n cerned about because of the hierarc h y of s t a t e g o v e r n m e n t . I also would think that the election of a C o n g r e s s m a n w h o is o u r link to Washington would concern people.

The common misconceptions about Fieger result f r o m the slanderous commercials sponsored by Governor John Engler. T h e quotes that are used in these commercials were taken out of context. I encour-

age everyone to read an unbiased account of Fieger and examine tjie issues he stands behind. I am proud to say that I support this fighter f o r the people, if not only for his stance on a n u m b e r of issues, but al§o because of the unacceptable a h e m a tive, Engler.

I w o u l d just like to e n c o u r a g e e v e r y o n e to b e c o m e informed citizens by reading up on the candidates to m a k e knowledgeable decisions on N o v e m b e r 3.

Student denounces the re-election To the Editor:

the diverse religious and spiritual needs of the entire student body and faculty? T h e only evident c o m p o nent that I see on c a m p u s that addresses the possibility of integrating faith and learning on a profound intellectual level, exists through the organization known as R e f u g e in Spiritual Expression (RISE).

If you value any type of education at all, you should ask yourself the question of what is more important: fascism at the expense of the student body, or is it n u m b e r s at the e x p e n s e of a n t i - i n t e l l e c t u a l i s m a m o n g students.

Everyone knows about Engler's

of Governor

by some vandals, but when I began to realize there w a s " o r g a n i z e d " support for the re-election of our neo-nazi governor, the bile began to rise in my throat.

Could it be that my fellow students really support a man who has caused such irreparable d a m a g e to the disadvantaged citizens in my state?

H o w can o n e ignore the fact that Engler has literally abandoned so

dislike for public education, culminating in his veto of more than $300 million in school aid just days prior to the 1997-98 school year.

In 1995 he led the charge to eliminate teacher certification by allowing the use of non-certified teachers w h e n certified ones w e r e available.

Just this s u m m e r he encouraged corporate and political leaders to invest in charter schools, not public schools, claiming they are "fully f u n d e d . " In the last three y e a r s , Engler has cut adult education prog r a m s to less than o n e - f o u r t h of their previous numbers.

Engler

many here in Michigan? Through his efforts in closing state-funded mental institutions, Engler has succeeded in moving over 2,700 mental patients into prisons. W h a t ' s more, Engler succeeded in tax shifting f r o m properly taxes (which he generously lowered) to an increased sales tax and gas tax.

It does not take a genius to understand the significance of these actions. As a good Republican,

Engler was only doing his duty: dec r e a s i n g taxes on the u p p e r and m i d d l e c l a s s e s , and a s k i n g the lower class and disadvantaged few lo make up f o r it. Perhaps I am the only student on c a m p u s with a heart that bleeds for these people, but I find that preferable to not having a heart at all.

S o please, H o p e students, come N o v e m b e r 3rd, try not to ignore the needs of the thousands that Engler

E n g l e r is n o t a f r i e n d to t h i s people of the state. Time after time he has voted against the people, only to further his political interests.

SOCIOPATHIC LEANINGS Andrew

Lotz

Thundercats H o I woke up this morning and realized thai a 20 years of my life have already slipped away.

Willi average lifespans in ihe low eighties, we as college students are 1/4 dead. We have already seen a fourth of everything that we'll ever see.

A fourth of the happiness, a fourth of the love, a fourth of the wonder of life, gone. And what do we have to show for it?

Childhood is different. It wasn't called wasted, but lived to its fullest. R e m e m b e r the days of Saturday morning cartoons? When your only care was that you were watching a show designed only to sell a line of toys. When you could eat a bowl of Count Chocula, or better yet Frankenberry, with whole milk rather than skim.

When you could stay in your pjs until after you ate your lunch. When life didn't have any worries except that the Superfriends might be out of next year's line-up.

Now that life has already began that unstoppable slide to middle age and f r o m there, to death, I haye started getting nostalgic. But my nostalgia fells alone and adrift in a strange world. Saturday mornings are a j o k e now. Live action shows like Power Rangers and that multitude of girly sitcoms on N B C crowd the morning airwaves, taking up time that was once used to the fullest. W h o cares if our shows were crassly commercialized? You can't look me in the eyes and say that the Power Rangers aren't. But the c o m mercialization didn't matter.

Even though I was young enough to not worry about cholesterol, or cancer, or the stock market, or recycling, I still knew a good plot line.

And the Saturday mornings of our youth were filled with them. Ghostbusters, Thundercats, and of course, everyone's favorite, the Smurfs

were true entertainment. These plots were a child's Hemingway, Camus, or Faulkner. Today's shows are lacking acceptable plot. The Power Rangers are the Danielle Steel of Saturday morning.

Everyone likes them and for the life of me I cannot see why.

There was magic on that screen of our youth, a magic that might well be lost.

So I turn back to the thing that brought me that joy, my television set, seeking to find my childhood. But the search is often fruitless. True Saturday mornings are lost among featherbrained comedies on NBC, filibusters on C-SPAN, shows with that distinctive Fox titling like "World's Scariest Animals in Police Chase Crashes 3", and the sea of slop that is the Warner Brothers Network. Stations like Nickelodeon that used to be at the pinnacle of good viewing with shows like Double Dare, are now at the bottom of the barrel with Rugrats.

Yet all is not lost. Our life may be slipping gradually into the pages of history, but there is one r e f u g e for our youth.

Cartoon Network. Youth in all its glory lives there. Speed Racer still wins every race, Scooby Doo still solves the Mysteries, and the Ghostbusters still ain't afraid of no ghost.

Our only limit is that the Hope College cable provider doesn't carry this last bastion of childhood. But we can change that. I can't regain my childhood alone, but together we can do it. We can bring back Saturday morning, all day, every day. Just petition your student congress rep, call C1T, talk to an administrator, and write the Anchor. Let's get the Cartoon Network for our rooms, and live the simple, carefree Saturday morning life once again.

Paint a Pot d r a w s s t u d e n t s CARRIE A R N O L D staff reporter The bright yellow polka-dot door beckons cheerfully from 8th Street.

Inside Paint a Pol, it still seems like springtime, even though September is almost over. Owner Kerri Bouws ('00) is hard at work, ensuring that all the paints are full, the ceramics s t o c k e d , and t h e r e a r e e n o u g h brushes at each and every table.

Paint a Pot is a place where anyone can go to pick out a piece of p o t t e r y and " p e r s o n a l i z e " it b y painting and designing in the colors and patterns of their choice.

W h i l e B o u w s ' brainchild w a s b o m on June I, 1998, the idea for a business such as Paint a Pot began long before.

While she was on Spring Break in Key West, Bouws visited a place similar to Paint a Pot and fell in love with the idea of owning a place just like it. She came home and told her sister and fellow Paint a Pot owner Kelli Hoeksema, and the pair began to look up information on the Internet about owning a place like Paint a Pot. "I t o o k t h e i n f o r m a t i o n a n d started making phone calls to other places," Bouws said. "I had to gel approval from* my parents. F r o m there, I found a building to rent, and paints, and a kiln came and I just started experimenting."

Paint a Pot has been quite a successful experiment. Although the first month started a little slow, business picked up in July and August.

During a recent "College Night" special, there was a line all the way out the door.

Located at 385 8th Street, right behind Russ' Restaurant, Paint a Pol is accessible for all Hope students.

PULL f r o m I even-year team had its first woman puller, and Emily makes the second.

"I look at myself as just another puller on the team, giving it my 110% " she said.

Some people go out for pull just lo try it.

Some have seen it and decided it would be a fantastic experience.

Emily is the same way.

"I went out because the pull is a

great tradition, and also because I want to challenge myself," she said.

There are certain times during practices, h o w e v e r , w h e n Emily doesn't completely blend in.

"All of the guys yell and chant and get loud, but I usually stay a little quieter," she said. "It's more m e n t a l f o r m ^ as to h o w I g e l pumped up. I guess you could say I ' m a little more introverted then the

others."

The only other disadvantage of being a woman pu ler is the bathroom break situation. Trees along the black river just don't cut it.

"After w e ' r e finished doing laps around the track, the coaches tell us it's our last chance for a bathroom break," she said. "When the guys go out and dc their thing, I just keep running."

changes each year and the board has not been set u p yet this year. But students who get tickets for illegal parking can pick up an Appeal form f r o m Public Safety, which explains to the A p p e a l s B o a r d w h y they should not get a ticket.

V i o l e n c e l a t e at n i g h t in t h e parking lots are also a concern of Public Safety. " S o far w e h a v e n ' t h a d m a n y complaints from students," Terpstra said.

To prevent such problems. Public Safety has installed phones in the farthest away parking lots. T h e lot on Fifteenth Street, the lot behind Peale S c i e n c e Center, and the H a y w o r t h lot behind D y k s t r a all have C o d e Blues.

"I had written a creative essay about my past, but I felt like 1 still needed to do something else with it," she said. "I felt like I needed to speak.

From these phones, students can dial a shuttle van, or in case of an emergency, call directly to Public Safety.

T h e lot, however, m a y not solve e v e r y o n e ' s problems.

"Its really hard to find parking by Lubbers," said Katie Cindric ( ' 9 9 ) .

The lot resulted f r o m much decision making.

"It w a s a pleasant surprise on my part that the college agreed to put it there," Terpstra said.

T h e easiest way to ease parking problems may be to do a w a y with f r e s h m e n parking.

"We m a d e an attempt to do a w a y with it totally," Terpstra said, "but

the college w a s n ' t in favor of it. It's a nice selling point for Hope College."

Since H o p e C o l l e g e turned the idea d o w n . Public Safety has been c o m i n g u p w i t h o t h e r w a y s to discourage freshmen from bringing their cars.

Before the 4 97-'98 school year, a l e t t e r w a s s e n t o u t to all the f r e s h m e n strongly discouraging them f r o m bringing their cars. This year, it was also decided to raise the parking permit price for freshmen.

Freshmen pay $ 100 while all others pay $60. "[It was] in order to discourage to s o m e e x t e n t f r e s h m e n f r o m bringing vehicles on campus; it was very necessary," Terpstra said.
