Volume 99 Number 6

This weekend's going to be a busy one at Hope. With the theme of ' T h a n k s for the Memories," in honor of President and Mrs. Van Wylen's last year with us, there will be plenty to do in the way of • traditional and new events.

At 8 p.m. on Friday, the Great Performance Series presents " J a m e s Dapogny's Chicago Jazz Band" at Dimnent Memorial Chapel. Following the concert, the J a m e s Dapogny's Chicago Jazz Band will play at an allcampus dance in the Maas Student and Conference Center. This will be the grand opening of the Maas Center for the students.

Dress for the dance is semiformal, and admission is free.

If the Great Performance Series isn't to your liking, there will be other entertainment on the campus such as the films "The Great Gatsby"and "The Sting" which will be presented in Winants Auditorium.

The ninth annual Run-BikeSwim gets off to an early start Saturday morning at 7:30.

If you're looking for a way for your group to get noticed on cam-

Hope's Health Clinic because the Why then is Holland's Right to Clinic refers students to an aborLife upset with Hope's Health tion clinic after all the options ahve been reviewed with a stuClinic?

Carol Brower, executive of dent.

Holland's Right to Life, states Brower, from the same letter used above, states, "We have extwo reasons: 1. Hope's Health Clinic does not treme difficulty reconciling the have models of fetal develop- s t a n d t h e RCA ( R e f o r m e d ment on display during every Church in America) has taken counseling session. In a letter r e g a r d i n g a b o r t i o n in i t s sent to Max Boersma, Executive synodical decisions and the ongoSecretary of Hope's Board of ing practice of Hope College Trustees, Right to Life "feels directing its pregnant women to that in order to make a sound a specific abortion clinic in decision regarding abortion, a Grand Rapids. This is tacit apwoman should always know the proval, if not an active participacomplete facts about the life of tion in the process. How can a her unborn child as well as what school maintain its Christian inwill be happening to her body tegrity if it provides counsel to go to the 'best' abortion clinic for during an abortion."

Right to Life offered the Health the purpose of terminating a

pregnancy?" \\ (The stand of the RCA on abor-\ tion is: " I t is our Christian conviction that abortion performed for personal reasons to insure individual convenience ought not to be permitted" and "We call upon those who counsel those with problem pregnancies, especially youth workers, campus pastors, and staff members of our church colleges, to uphold the Christian alternatives to abortion.)

It should be remembered that Hope's Health Clinic is against abortion. With that in mind, we see that Van Wylen wrote to Right to Life to say, "that if the student is determined to have an abortion, she (Mrs. Blanksma) counsels the student as to where the student will receive the most humane and sensitive treatment."

Because the Board of Trustees affirms the position Blanksma has taken, they commend her and the Clinic staff for showing care and concern for their students.

After looking at the differences that Right to Life and the Health Clinic a r e having, a different questions arises: What is the source of the problem between the two sides? The source appears to be the fact that there actually are a number of pregnancies on campus, and abortion is being chosen in some cases by students.

Unfortunate, agree both sides, but preventative measures for unwanted pregnancies would probably be a better course of action for both sides than arguing the positions of the College.

pus, you might try entering a f l o a t or m a r c h i n g in t h e Homecoming parade at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.

Contact Susan Langejans or Janilyn Brower to get your group entered. There will be cash prizes for the best entry representing either your group or the theme "Thanks for the Memories." President and Mrs. Van Wylen will be the grand marshalls of the parade. Line-up and judging time is 12:30 in Van Raalte Commons. The parade will leave from there and proceed to College Avenue, to 10th Street, to Columbia Avenue, to 13th Street, then on to the stadium.

At 1:45, the pre-game show for the Hope-Alma football game gets under way at Holland Municiple Stadium. The half time show will feature a tribute to President and Mrs. VanWylen, and music will be provided by the Comstock High Marching Band.

Also at halftime, the academic trophy will be given to the fraternity and sorority with the highest grade point average.

And of course, we must not forget the announcement of the Homecoming king and queen

during the halftime show as well.

This year's court consists of Lyn Curley, J a n i c e Day, Susan Kunkle, Jill Mannor, Jennifer Phelps, and Theresa Van Isendal as the queen candidates, and Dwight Beal, Jonathon Beyer, David Meconi, Kraig Peterson, Kevin Shoemaker, and Scott Voet as the candidates for king.

Following the game, there will be an Open House at the President's Home until 7 p.m., and Student Organizations will also hold open houses in the DeWitt Center.

From 4:30 to 6:30 there will be a special buffet dinner in Phelps Dining Room.

The weekend winds up with morning worship at 11 a.m. on Sunday at Dimnent Memorial Chapel, with music provided by the Hope College Chapel Choir and the Alumni Choir under the d i r e c t i o n of P r o f . R o g e r Rietberg. At 4 p.m. there will be an Alumni Symphonette Concert directed by Dr. Morrette Rider at Dimnent Memorial Chapel.

All in all there should be plenty to do for the young and old alike this weekend.

Arcadians to Celebrate 40th Anniversary

Film Shown Despite Vandalism

by Katherine Harter Although a number of posters announcing the film " P i n k Triangles , , were ripped down last week, presumably by Hope students, and at least one poster was defaced with the words "kill the fags" across it, the movie was shown to the Hope community last Thursday in an effort to raise awareness about the subject of homosexuality. The film, sponsored by the Sociology, Psychology, and Religion Departments as well as the International Students Office, the West Shore Chapter of N.O.W. and the Hope Gay-Lesbiaft Union, was followed by a brief commentary from professors in each of the departments that sponsored it.

The film discussed some history of gay oppression, focusing on the Nazi era in Germany where anti-homosexual laws were passed prohibiting homosexual activity. If charged, homosexuals faced jail sentences of two years for their first offense, three years for their second offense, and deportation to concentration camps, where few survived, for their third offense.

In the camps, gays were forced to wear badges of pink triangles to distinguish themselves: hence the title of the fUm. Besides reviewing gay oppression in an historical context, "Pink Triangles" also presented the view that homosexuals a r e o p p r e s s e d in c o n t e m p o r a r y A m e r i c a . T e s t i m o n i e s of homosexuals showed that they often feel ostracized by those who do not accept the gay lifestyle. Aaron Fricke, a homosexual who, by a court decision, won the right to take a male date to his senior prom, talked not only about the emotional abuse he suffered in his life but also the physical abuse. He recalled walking down the school hallway and getting punched In the face by fellow students, although he had tried to Ignore them, and then being called a " f -Ing faggot" as he walked away bleeding.

The film also Included clips of people strongly opposed to the gay lifestyle. In one clip a representative from the Moral Majority, referring to the concept of eliminating homosexuality, was quoted as saying, " I t ' s going to be a bloody battle... but the victory Is the Lord's." In another clip, an Interviewer on a street stopped three junior high aged boys who, when asked what they thought should be done about h o m o s e x u a l s , one answered that they should be shot, as his two friends backed his response by laughing.

The film ended with the voice of an activist for gay rights protesting that "attacks on the gay community are attacks on all of us," thus summing up the sentiment of the whole film.

Nemeth of the Sociology Department gave his perspective of the gay Issue from the point of view of a sociologist. He said that gays a r e s u b j e c t to n e g a t i v e Ideologies, just as a r e other minorities, because "We fear deviance; we fear people who are different than us." From the Psychology Department, Chuck Green gave his perspective, saying that it is not enough to note the attitude, but rather from where the attitude stems. Tom Kennedy, of the Religion Department, spoke from the point of view of a Christian Ethicist. He felt that the film is valuable in that It exposes Its viewers to those who suffer and it stresses compassion. Yet Kennedy felt that the film stereotyped personalities to prove Its point by showing gays and gay supporters as the compassionate, clear thinking Individuals and antigays as bigots and simpletons.

This portrayal, he said. Ignores the fact that many compassionate Christians oppose homosexuality for religious reasons. Kennedy also felt that the movie did not distinguish between homosexual activity .and homosexual orientation, two distinctly different things. A person can have homosexual tendencies without a c t u a l l y p a r ticipating In homosexual activity.

Closing the presentation, J a n e Dickie reminded the audience that the confidential Hope gaylesblan support group meets regularly. Anyone Interested should call her or Chaplain Van Heest for Information.

The Arcadian Fraternity at Hope College will celebrate Its 40th a n n i v e r s a r y d u r i n g Homecoming weekend (Oct. 1012)

The fraternity's first reunion, it is the result of efforts by current active members on campus.

'We thought it would be a little special for the alumni to know we were still Interested In them enough to put this all together,' said senior Kevin Shoemaker of Grand Rapids, the fraternity's corresponding secretary. 'We've prepared It well enough so that is it something they wouldn't want to miss.'

Planning began last spring, after Shoemaker received over 100 postcards expressing Interest In the Idea. He and other alumni like College Chaplain and Arcadian charter m e m b e r Gerard VanHeest arranged the scedule

of events. Among those featured are a campus tour directed by Arcadian alumnus Dr. Elton J .

Bruins, Hope College dean for arts and humanities; a dinner banquet and Homecoming dance; and Sunday chapel sevlce led by fellow fraternity alum, the Rev. J a m e s Neevel who is president of the General Synod of the Reformed Church in America.

Although the more formal 50year reunion is still ten years down the road, VanHeest says that the alumni are treating this one like it was the 100th. " T h i s one will be m o r e casual," he says,"and what's interstlng Is that the actives are doing it for the alums. They're bearing the burden for fundraising and planning."

Relative babies among Hope fraternities, the Arcadians were organized In the fall of 1946, when

male enrollment doubled as a result of returning World War II veterans. Only one fraternity, a group called Trl-Alpha, had exslsted on campus durnlng the war, but with the end of the was It d i s b a n d e d , and the old fraternities-Knickerbocker, Emersonian, Cosmopolitan and Fraternal-began reorganizing.

Several men who had never been a part of those old fraternities, however, decided not to divide amongst the exsistlng fraternities. The began their own. Choosing the Greek letters Chi Phi Sigam because they represented service, love and wisdom the group called itself the Arcadians, By the end of their first year, it had doubled In size, admitting a pledge class of 45.

Jazz Band to Open Great Performance Series A robust concert of traditional jazz music will be presented at the first Hope College Great Performance Series concert of the 1986-87 season on Friday, Oct o b e r 10, f e a t u r i n g J a m e s Dapogny's Chicago Jazz Band.

The concert will begin at 8 p.m. in Dimnent Memorial Chapel on the campus of Hope College, corner of 12th Street and College Avenue. All seats will be general admission.

Tickets cost $7 for adults, $6 for senior citizens and $3 for students. Tickets may be reserved by calling 394-6996. They will be held at the door until 15 minutes before the concert.

Tickets will be sold at the door based on availability.

Season tickets for the entire six-event Series a r e on sale.

Future events will include the Alvin Ailey Repertory Dance Ensemble, Nov. 6-7; two performances by the Grand Rapids Symphony (Nov. 24 and Feb. 9); a one-woman portrayal of the life of poet Emily Dickinson (March 17-28) and pianist John Browning (April 16). Season tickets cost $75 for a family membership, $32 for adults, $28 for senior citizens and $12 for students.

The Ann Arbor-based band will present traditional jazz (19001945), ranging from ragtime to New Orleans jazz—the first jazz

ever recorded—to robust Chicago jazz and swing.

Founder J a m e s Dapogny has been c a l l e d a t r i p l e - t h r e a t evangelist working to preserve solo piano and sprightly group styles of the '20's and '30's when jazz was America's pop music.

This performer, recording artist and jazz educatior has a passion for classic jazz, particularly the tight, edgy sound of the mid'20's Chicago style.

In his 9 to 5 life he is an associate professor of music theory at the University of Michigan and a music historian whose works include the definitive edition of Ferdinand "jelly roll" Morton's collected piano music.

Dapogny got hooked on early jazz while growing up in suburban Chicago during the 1940's and '50's. He had a chance to talk, and sometimes play, with older musicians who were a part of the '20's generation that used New O r l e a n s - t y p e jazz ensembles to create a new style.

That Chicago breed included Muggsy Spanier, J i m m y M c P a r t l a n d , F r a n k Teschemacher, Mike McKendrick, D a v e Tough, Bud Freeman, Eddie Condon, and GeneKrupa.

"I play jazz because I really like playing," Dapogny says. "I

don't know that I have any special sense of mission about it, although I think the style of music I play still has something to contribute to American life. It isn't as though this was a totally outmoded style that doesn't relate to people at all.

4 'We often play college concerts and people get kind of interested in it. They sometimes say: 'Well, where can I hear more of this?' 'How come I never heard this music before?' The music isn't so foreign to people that they can't get into it. It is an impoverishment of a person's m u s i c a l e n v i r o n m e n t if he doesn't know about Louis Armstrong, for instance.

Dapogny formed his eight-man Chicago-style band in 1976. Three years ago it backed Sippie Wallace on her comeback album for Atlantic Records, a G r a m m y nominee in the blues category.

Dapogny's other recordings include a Smithsonian Collection release of his solo interpretations of Morton's jazz compositions, Martin Williams, jazz critic and director of the Smithsonian's jazz program, said that Dapogny's intimate knowledge of the struuctural, compositional and interpretative requirements of Morton's music "set a precedent for future interpretations of what we might call post-ragtime

Symphonette to Feature Alumni on Sunday Symphonette, a c h a m b e r orchastra selected by audition from the large college symphony orchestra, to serve a s a counterpart to the college's touring vocal group, the Chapel Choir.

The first tour takes by the Symphonette was to Canada and the east coast in the spring of 1955. Since that t i m e the Symphonette has toured annually, playing in much of the continental United States, in Canada, and on two occasions h a s toured in Europe. The third European tour for the group is scheduled for next May. Dr. Rider c a m e to Hope College in 1947 as director of instrumental music. According to his records, in the y e a r of his arrival the college owned "ten instruments, three music stands, and a peach basket full of music." There was a student-run band which met periodically, but no other organized instrumental ensembles. He organized the college band and began an orchestra, both of which he conducted, in addition to teaching many instrumental lessons and several courses in instrumental techniques, orchestration, conducting, and music history.

He continued to conduct the band, o r c h e s t r a , and Sym-

A unique concert sponsored by the Hope College music department will feature alumni m e m b e r s of the college's Symphonette on Sunday, October 11, at 4 p.m. in Dimnent.

As a s p e c i a l e v e n t of Homecoming weekend, f o r m e r Hope College music professor and academic dean Morrette Rider will conduct the alumni Symphonette in a concert of orchestral music taken from the repertoire of former tours. The public is invited. Admission is free.

Performing in the orchestra will be former Symphonette players from 1953-67. It w a s in 1953 that Dr. Rider organized the American music.

"He plays Morton as Morton should be played."

Bearded, soft-spoken Dapogny is a top interpreter of the stride, blues and ragtime piano styles.

That reputation landed him the job in 1979 as accompanist and arranger for Wallace, who at 86 is the last of the great blues shouters.

Joining the band will be P e t e r Madcat Ruth, a virtuoso jazzblues harmonica player. Ruth has toured with the Brubeck band and as a solo performer.

Return of the Yugoslav: A conversation with Nick Koljevic

by K l r k K e a e t z e r Nick Koljevic (Kole-yevick) s i t s in h i s o f f i c e , s t a r i n g reflectevely off at nothing in particular, rolling his own cegarettes. He is a willing, genial and witty conversationalist, h a m p e r e d not in the least by the tricks and twists of English.

15 years before, he informs me, another reporter named Eileen Beyer interviewed him for the Anchor. The memory brings a smile through a small clous of white smoke. He takes a sip of coffee f r o m a m u g decorated with a Union J a c k and mentions that he tried out recently for a position at Point West as a jazz pianist. Again, he smiles.

Koljevic: Lkey, shall we start?

Anchor: When people hear that you're a Yugoslavian Shakespeare scholar raise an eyebrow. Is that unusual?

K: It is rather unusuall; not so many study Shkespears, although many students do, b e c a u s e when they study liteature they always have to take a course in World Lit. T h a t ' s how I met the guy 25 y e a r s ago.

So it's both typical and untypical, just because of the vact that Yugoslavic is a small country which m a k e s it move awave of the great literary m a s t e r pieces than some greater nations are.

I've just published a book, S h a k e s p e a r s the Tvagedious, which happens to be the first on him this century in Yugoslavia, because of very good student response. It is dedicated to my students. Both old and new students.

Anchor: What's it like teaching in Yugoslavia?

K: I'll try to be honest. There a r e two p a r t s : good and bad.

We'll s t a r t with the good.

It's an intellectual adventure for both students and teacher and I enjoy t h a t when I ' m teaching Shakespeare and Modern Poetry. It's a shared experience, i rarely give academic lectures; the way I start is to give a few quidelines and get into it, and then, a f t e r some assignments, we get into discussion. Then, once you start the fire, it burns.

In comparison with teaching in the states, the draw back is that

our students have to go to greater depth at a very early stage. Some may say we do it more throughly, do m o r e quality work than: N. America. I really don't feel that way. Quite a few a r e putoff at that early s t a r e : they've asked to go to a depth they've no prepared for at that stage of life. They have to read criticism as well a s the p r i m a r y work, which seems premature. It accounts for a shyness, the opposite kind of thing you find over here.

I was amused the other day by a picture in the Registuar's Office. It was two birds flying, and underneath was a saying: "They can because they think they c a n . " I found that very American. Once you start thinking better of yourself, you'll do better. I think American education is better than ours in that sense: it allows for that better image of the students.

Very often you brow, American liberal a r t s schoold are criticized for that in Europe, that little bit of everything. If you talk to Germans, for instance, who a r e dead serious about everything, you'll find that, but I don't think it's true.

The criticism is valid, not because American standard&are very high; they shouldn't be so you get more people involved.

Make them hungry for knowledge and give them the feeling they can do it, and once you get that image, you'll do a b e t t e r job, w h a t e v e r y o u r natural abilities m a y be. That a problem at home: quite a few good kids are put of because they're average. (He paused and reflects on the last time he was at Hope in '70-71, during which he taught and, among other things, helped John Tanim from Theature produce a Yugoslav play.)

Well, I have my own theory about Holland, about finding a second country.

You can't travel everywhere, but I think it m a k e s more sense to associate move with our country. This is for two reasons: One says we were learning English and simly "went west" ask lads. In Yugslovia there was a strong anti-Russian feeling and

you know when you're young you j u s t . . . (laughs).

I c a m e the first time because we were Auglo-fied. The second reason is b e c u a s e I found American much more congerial to my t e m p e r m e n t than Britian . . . not stiff upper lip, but in comp a r i s o n with A m e r i c a n inf o r m a l i t y , o p e n e s s and sponteneity its more agreeable.

It's very important to have a second country-it enlarges your vision of life.

The first stage is you encounter certain values and start dreaming about human possibilities and start realizing that they're much larger than they seem at home. And that's a great experience. (He continues with a story about arriving in Manhattan and wonting "to live it up since life is the best investment for money" and going to Central Park. There, hearing music, he started to think he was having acoustic hallucinatious, because it was a Yugolsav song. First day in N e w Y o r k . H e l a u g h s delightedly, teUing about his desappointment in "crossing the ocean to hear this.")

He really merged Yygoslav t e m p e r m e n t with A m e r i c a n praguratiqur. If you have a dream, you'd better start going.

defensive and feel they have to keep their intergrity.

Whatever it is, the great thing is you're getting your own background, your own set of values, your own country, into perspective. I don't believe it's possible to become a convert.

You can't change idealogy, really, just onve kind of unify system for another.

For the luckiest ones, they move to the third stage, back to your own values, but with a very keen sense of the limitations of those values, to what point they are values, and to which particular point they become anitv a l u e s , w e r e you s e e t h e drawbacks. This is very important to the intenational education experience.

All values are fragile, and the international experience makes you aware, you know, there a r e certain thing I approve of at home, but only to an extent because from this American perspective, my second country's perspective, I a m a ble to be objective about the values of my own country.

(People) who have a second country, they never in converstation, never don't mention that country in reguard to the country, or whatever the context was.

Mike Petrovich, for example, was the type of m a n who perfectly imerged two countries. Mike was unique in the sense that he merged Yugoslavia and the States.

F o r 15 years, we met in the summer, and had; aked, close, personal questions. I asked him, "Mike, do you ever ask yourself why you keep coming back to Yugoslavia? You have really m a d e a great coveer; why do you keep coming back to these backward villages?" He said "Because of the spirit," I said "Don't give me that; you're coming back for good?" He said " I am only keep traveling back and forth."

fort from this campus while I handle the other side. Then I think it would be much better.

There are some people who a r e personally interested in returning to Uygoslavia. If I succeed in getting them, I'll let you know. I want to get this decided on soon so I can act back home. Good thing is I'll be available in May, when my grant ends.

Anchor: Any names?

Koljevic: One is Nancy Taylor.

I'm pushing h a r d for her to be that person. I don't feel morally guilty about it, but I don't want to push the lady, and have her feel like she's being attacked by a passianate Yugoslav. She might think i t ' s a n o t h e r t y p e of pressure in the Anchor Kirk, and wasn't sure if I should say anything, but then I thought "To hell, it's not a government secret."

I've noticed how perceptive she is, how observant, and how m u c h she e n j o y e d the experience. I don't want to push her too hard, but I think she'd be ideal. She knows how to approach each student on his or her own individual level - she wouldn't turn it into a melting pot.

Do you think you have enough material for your interview?

An experience was being built, because this was my first, genuine e x p e r i e n c e withAmerican openess. (Upon asking the musican why he was playing a gypsie love song, he was named a "Yugoslave queststar" on the spot.) Ther wasn't any prestige to the old song: they just wanted to try something they hadn't tried before. And I'm going to write about than: how I fell in love with this country.

The second stage is, almost unconsiously, you start to compare the new values with those you left at home, with those you were brought up with. I tested this.

Very few people feel like "I have to become a connvet" or are very

State of the College Address Fourth in a series The Value of Stability As I look back at my years at Hope, it seems to me they were divided into a period of four years of getting started, and ten years of relative stability. As many of you know, I came to Hope in 1972 after the College had been without a president for two years. During those two years the Board had launched a m a j o r capital campaign—The Build Hope Campaign— and I was handed the assignment to complete this—successfully! During the sue month period between the time I was appointed President and arrived on campus, the Vice President for Business and Finance resigned, which was to be effeective the day I arrived on campus. During this same period the campus representative of the outside fund raising consultant for the Build Hope Campaign and the Vice President for Development had major conflicts, with the result that three weeks a f t e r I arrived, the Vice President for

Development resigned with a capital campaign under way.

After my first year at Hope, the Dean for Academic Affairs resigned effective at the end of the second year. I struggled with the question of what would be the most effective organization for the College. All of these made my first years at Hope a very difficult time.

I am very grateful that during my first week at Hope, Bill Anderson agreed to serve as Vice President for Business and Finance and Barry Werkman as Business Manager. We have now been together for fourteen years and these two men have given absolutely superb leadership to the business operation of the college. During my second year, David Marker was appointed Provost and he served very effectively for nine years and now Jack Nyenhuis is carrying on this work in a superb manner. The position I found most difficult to fill was that of Vice President for

Development. After my third year at Hope, I asked Bob De Young, who was serving as Vice President for Student Affairs, to take on this responsiblity. He accepted and now has done a superb job for the last eleven years. When Bob assumed this position, Mike Gerrie was appointed Dean of Students and served effectively in this capacity for eight years. During this period the place of admissions became increasingly important, and we decided that the Dean for Admissions should report directly to the President. I'm grateful that since 1978 Phil Fredrickson and J a m e s Bekkering have given effecitve leadership to the Adm i s s i o n s O f f i c e . Also, t h e organizational structure of divisional deans, though many had questions about it when it was institutied, has, I believe, served us very well.

Thus, it really took four years to fill the key administrative positions and develop a spirit of

the need to provide new administrative facilities, which we proceeded to do through the renovation of the DeWitt Center.

It grieved me to spend so much money reworking a building which was only 12 years old, but I believe that we all agree that it is a much more functional facility than it was originally.

When the Sligh Furniture Factory became available, we were able to develop a very fine art facility and to provide space for the Physical Plant Department.

And along the way there Were various other projects—the underground power distribution system which eliminated unsightly poles on campus and enabled us to purchase electricity at a lower rate, installation of our own telephone system, installing an elevator in Dimnent Chapel, renovation of Durfee Hall and the Fraternity Complex, upgrading our computer resources, and construction of the College East residence hall.

And, of course, the Maas Center and the new library are now under construction, projects which we were not even talking about ten years ago.

But this program of construction simply evolved in response to need and opportunities. Today our campus is exceptionally fine, and this is due to the effective work of many, many persons—, architects, builders, tradesmen, donors, as well as faculty, staff and students. These are accomplishments in which we can all take pride.

Hope Defeats Findley on Last Play

by Ben Hanneman The Flying Dutchmen couldn't ask for a better road record early on in the 1986 season. Hope has won their last three games, including their last two road games.

Their most recent victory, against the Findlay Oilers in Findlay has to be their biggest win this year, according to Head Coach Ray Smith.

"This game was bigger than our win over DePauw because it was a total team effort. Our defense was the key," said Smith. The Oiler offense only gained 76 yards rushing against the tough Dutchmen defense.

The first half was totally dominated by Findlay, but Hope regained some momentum near the end when they stopped the Oilers deep in their territory inside the ten.

The second half saw Hope come out and play tenacious defense whcih helped the offense put two more touchdowns on the board. The game was far from over, though.

Findlay roared back to cut the lead to 21-16. With 2:30 left, they got the ball again and started down the field. On two occassions, Hope was called for pass interference, and that put the ball at the two with 25 seconds left.

Defensive end Gary Kuczynski found a hole in the Oiler line and leveled q u a r t e r b a c k Jeff DePriest. That's when the controversy began.

Apparently the timer thought it was an incomplete pass and stopped the clock. The officials ruled differently, and time ran out.

Whether Findlay would have scored on one more play will never be known.

Todd Stewart led the way for the Dutchmen, coming off the bench after an injury. Stewart had 85 yards in 13 carries.

Hope's record now goes to 3-1, and the next action will be the annual Homecoming game against Alma on Saturday at 2 p.m.

PE Professors Author Book A comprehensive book on basketball coaching history and techniques has been co-authored by two Hope College physical education professors. Coaching Basketball: The Complete Book from Beginning to Championship Play, written by Russell DeVette and William Vanderbilt, has been r e c e n t l y r e l e a s e d by American P r e s s of Boston, Mass.

The primary focus of the book is providing a comprehensive source for either undergraduate or graduate basketball coaching theory classes. The text is also meant for coaches or players at any level of competition.

Contemporary research findings and how those findings can be applied to coaching basketball is what makes Coaching Basketball unique, Vanderbilt says.

"This text provides the reader with f a r more than the strategies and skills of the g a m e , " says Vanderbilt. "A coach might know the g a m e but not know how to organize or motivate a team, Or, a coach may know all about organization, philosophy, history, and psychological factors, but if he or she doesn't know the strategies and skill, they won't succeed. Both dimensions

a r e needed, and this is the only contemporary text that includes in depth information of both.

The 254-page book was a collaborative project that took two years to complete. It is illustrated extensively with drawings by Tim Arnold of Holland, a 1983 Hope graduate, and photos of the the 1984 Hope College men's and women's basketball teams. A teaching manual accompanies the text with teaching outlines, additional drills and tests.

DeVette, professor of physical education, has been associated with Hope College basketball since 1948 as a teacher-coach.

Prior to his coaching, DeVette was a player for the Flying Dutchmen for three y e a r s , graduating and winning the first MIAA most valuable player award in 1947. During the 25 years of his tenure as the head coach, his Hope men's teams won nine MIAA championships, and DeVette was among the nations winningest coaches in NCAA Division III at the time of his retirement. In 1980 and 1981, DeVette was the coordinator of the NCAA National Basketball T o u r n a m e n t a s well a s a

member of the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee.

Vanderbilt, a professor of physical education and chairperson of the department, was a Hope team captain and most valuable player as he prepped under DeVette. He also served as DeVette's j a y v e e coach for several years and has coached basketball at three (liferent educational levels. Known for his success as a cross country coach, he has guided Hope men's teams to 13 championships in the last 15 years, and last year, the Hope women won their first league and NCAA regional championships. Vanderbilt currently serves as president of the NCAA Cross Country Coaches Association. He joined the Hope faculty in 1967.

Women s Soccer Downs Irish

by Ben Hanneman The women's soccer club of Hope went south last week to play against the Fighting Irish of Notre Dameâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and beat them 4-1.

Before the season began, head coach and German professor J a m e s VanderLaan said that conditioning was the key to having a good season. "Without good conditioning," said VanderLaan, "there's no way we can be aggressive."

Against the Irish, the Dutch were so aggressive that they confused the opposition, jumping out to a 3-0 lead in the first half.

In their first meeting, at Buys Athletic Field, the Irish held the lead at the end of the first half

and went on to win that contost by the same 4-1 count.

Both teams scored in the second half, but Hope had enough of an advantage already to wiiv the game. Barbara Lake spoked two goals as she came out of a e f normal goalie position to pace the Dutch attack.

In their next game, though, the ladies didn't fair as well. They faced off against Wheaton at home and came out on the short end of a 3-1 score.

Hope's record now stands at 13-0 on the young season, but Coach VanderLaan remains optimistic. Their next game is a g a i n s t t h e U n i v e r s i t y of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

Dutch Win byBobWuerfel Hope College won its third straight MIAA volleyball match last Friday.

They defeated the Olivet Comets in four games: 4-15,15-11,1510, and 15-10.

The Flying Dutch raised their league record to 3-1 and overall record to 14-6.

Thursday Hope hosts arch rival Calvin College and Sienna Heights. The first game starts at ÂŽ P- m * second match beginning at 8:30p.m.

Dedication of the new Maas Student and Conference Center will be held Thursday, October 9 during a dinner honoring the donors. The celebration is being held in conjunction with the fall Board of Trustees meeting.

The Maas Center was donated to the college by Leonard and Marjorie Maas of Grandville and their sons, Thomas and Steven, both Hope graduates. Leonard is a Hope trustee, and Marjorie is an active participant in the Hope College Women's League. THeir donation is part of The Campaign for Hope, a $26 million capital and endowment endeavor launched by Hope in 1984.

The building was designed by J a m e s Van Hekken of Design Plus, P.C. of Grand Rapids.

Design Plus has also been the architect for several other Hope

buildings in recent years, including the College East Apartments, the DePree Art Center and Gallery (both of which won architectural awards), and the renovation of Voorhees Hall.

The air-conditioned building, built at a cost of $1.1, features domed-ceilings and skylights in the central hallway. It contains a conference room and auditorium with over 4,800 square feet of meeting space.The auditorium can accomodate 300 people while the conference room can serve 65, and both rooms are outfitted with state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment. The outdoor architectural style was designed to complement adjacent Phelps Hall.

The Maas Center is projected to serve many college and community functions. Its flexible design will allow for summer '

conferences, symposia, concerts,, banquets, meetings and other student activities, according to Mary Kempker, associate director of college advancement.

"This attractive, functional facility is already proving to be a splendid resource for the college," said President Gordon Van Wylen. " F a c u l t y and students are using this building for a variety of meetings and conferences, and through these, the academic, cultural, and social life of the college is being enriched. This building will also be available to organizations and individuals in the community for special functions.

"We are deeply grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Maas and their sons, Thomas and Steven, for their generosity through which this wonderful building has been made possible."

At eighteen I was in awe of many things and the last thing I was about to do w a s to just 'meet' the Registrar of the college. I thought you only saw this man in the most dire of situations. A friend had told me of the Registrar at Clavin..no way. I was lucky and my first crisis happened during late registration m y 2nd semester. It was after this encounter that it became much easier to go to his office the second time. Jon is a man who most often remebers your n a m e a f t e r the first meeting and s u r e e n o u g h , he remembered mine.

It's fun. And look for a Max Headroom " m o v i e " out on video soon. It tells the origin of the most famous computer personality...

Rumor has it that the anchor had to print lots more of those P a r k Aid posters featuring the Voice because all the high school girls a r e tearing them down and putting them in their lockers at school. Isn't that cute?...

Did I mention that a new Bloom County book w a s r e l e a s e d several weeks ago? It's got stuff from all of the past five years. So if you've got any of the other books, there'll be some duplication but it's worth it. Trust me...

THE BIG OOPS: Last week's anchor was kind of rushed. And there were some MAJOR mistakes committed within and on its pages. They apologize to the soccer team which was not gutted by Adrian but by Calvin...

Did you notice the nifty new display units for the anchor?

One's in the Kletz and the other's in Phelps, in the middle upper section near the bulletin boards.

So you have to get your anchor there instead of the old places, got that?...

Well, that's it for this week. I'll see you later (and I'm not kidding)...

Time to DO Something about Divestment

Extra-curricuiars not "extra", but Necessary

By Brian Breen

THIS WEDNESDAY THE SOUTH AFRICA TASK FORCE WILL HOLD ITS FIRST MEETING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. SINCE ITS CREATION, THE TASK FORCE HAS BEEN THE SOURCE OF CONTROVERSY AND CONCERN TO A SMALL BUT AWARE AND GROWING PART OF OUR COMMUNITY. WITH LUCK, THIS YEAR WILL BE NO DIFFERENT. THE MAIN ISSUE REMAINS THAT OF DIVESTMENT. HOPE HAS ALREADY STRIPPED AWAY MUCH OF ITS INVESTMENT IN COMPANIES THAT DO BUSINESS IN SOUTH AFRICA BECAUSE THEY HAVE BECOME BAD RISKS, RATHER THAN FOR MORAL REASONS. THE REASON, WE ARE ASSURED BY OUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES, THAT HOPE HAS NOT COMPLETELY DIVESTED IS BECAUSE WE ARE USING OUR INVESTMENTS TO BE A POSITIVE FORCE INFLUENCING THESE COMPANIES TO OFFER MORE ADVANCEMENTS TO THE BLACKS "WE ARE TRYING TO HELP." IF, HOWEVER, WE ARE TRYING TO "INFLUENCE" THESE COMPANIES, THEN WHY ARE WE TAKING OUR INVESTMENTS OUT OF "BAD RISKS" THAT ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE INFLUENCED BY HOPE'S INVESTMENT? ANY ATTEMPT TO FIND A MORAL GOAL BEHIND OUR INVESTMENT POLICY SEEMS MUDDLED AND INCOHERENT. FINANCIAL GAIN IS MORE REASONABLE, IF LESS APPEALING A MOTIVE. WE DO NOT SUGGEST THAT THE TASK FORCE ABANDON PLANS TO PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCE TO BLACK SOUTH AFRICANS NOR OTHER VIABLE PROGRAMS. WE DO, HOWEVER, ASK THAT THE TASK FORCE MAKE THE ISSUE OF DIVESTMENT A PRIORITY ON ITS AGENDA. THE SITUATION IN SOUTH AFRICA IS NOT IMPROVING, AND IF THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS HAS BEEN ABLE TO BITE THE BULLET, PERHAPS HOPE CAN ALSO. IF THE TASK FORCE IS TO BE MORE THAN THE DIVERSIONARY TACTIC IT IS SAID TO BE, IT MUST TAKE A VIABLE POSITION THAT MEANS WHAT IT SAYS. IT'S TIME TO CALL A SPADE A SPADE. =

Funding for this activity is provided by the Student Activity Fee through the Student Congress Appropriations Committee.

The Pull has been over for over a week now and about a hundred people have asked me what is the significance of the whole thing.

Professors and students alike, regard the Pull as some sort of mysterious ritual, not in tune with them, but perhaps fun to watch.

I guess one who doesn't experience it can only look at the Pull with skepticism. Is it barbaric? Perhaps. Sexist? Probably.

Trivial? Maybe.

Then why in the world would 90-odd people take part in something of its so-called irrevelance. To tell the truth, I don't really know.

Let's not talk about the Pull anymore. I realize about half our readers probably quit reading this editorial already, once they found out the subject was the Pull. Too bad, because there might be more to it than one outdated tug-of-war.

If we group such an activity among other extra-curriculars at Hope, we may realize the potential such an activity can or could have. A radio station, a newspaper, Nykerk, sports teams, theatrical productions, musical groups, fraternities and sororities, political groups, etc. all are available to the students of this institution.

To categorize someone of the basis of what group they belong to or to judge them by what that group stands for and does is hypocritical. We do what we do because we like to do it. If people can't respect that then tough.

It's wrong to ostracize a group because their beliefs don't coincide with ours. If I'm a heterosexual, should I cast off a group of homosexuals just because their gay? True, I'm entitled to my own opinions but I should respect theirs as well. To them their group must be very important. If it wasn't, they wouldn't take all the s— they do. Sorry about that.

I guess the whole point is that I get miffed everytime someone says, "Oh, you were a puller?!!" and then they shake their head like I'm crazy or something. Wait a minute, I'm not just a puller.

I'm a student, a newspaper writer, a disc jockey, and a fraternity member among other things.

Maybe my views about this are extremely abstract. I realize we live in a judgemental world, and I find even myself putting people into groups or categories sometimes. It's tough not to. And yes I do find some people's activities trivial and I sorry for that.

The whole point of this is the impact extra-curriculars can have on a person's life. Sometimes I regard my out-of-class experiences with more esteem than my bookwork. It's my personal opinion, but I wonder how many others feel the same way.

Think about the things you must (and should) learn outside the classroom. No prof is going to teach you about pride, or love, or self-worth, or accomplishing something you feel strongly about.

You can't experience criticism by reading about it or feeling what it's like to lose by being a spectator.

The final thing I'd like to say is opportunities are there to expand your knowledege and human understanding. The mission of this college is a liberal education; the education of the "whole" person.

I find it hard to believe each of us cannot find something or some group to participate in. And to believe in what we are doing.

Because without something to believe in or something to keep us going, our lives are but meager in existence.

Continued from Page 13

While our Registrar is by no means a push over, he is one man you can always depend on to listen to any reasonable request.

Several times I found myself in a situation that I thought would not be salvagable—missing 2 weeks of Chemistry 111—and found that the clouds weren't near as bad as I thought. You may not always

agree (Jon, I didn't take Comp Sci) but his insights are great and I have near found him unfair. Sometimes he can even help you "see the light"—he was instrumental in convincing me to return after a 3 year hiatus.

Take time to get to know him, if you don't know him already—he is one of the most

approachable individualson campus. He can have the greatest effect of your college career. If nothing else, at least accost him for a cup of coffee, This column is a tribute to the person who probably had the most influence in making Hope College not only survivable but also, for most of us, successful.

HOPE COLLEGE ANCHOR

A Very Showerful Storv Dear Editor, Editor.

*

After being asked to leave my school-year residency a couple of weeks early last June, a friend and I were able to move in with a kind-hearted professor for the s u m m e r . Actually, she was only to remain in her college-owned housing for a couple more weeks until she left on a journey that would take her to an exotic land far, f a r away. Then the apartment would be ours for the rest of the s u m m e r ! In the m e a n time, the p r o f e s s o r gave Hope's maintenance department a list of jobs that needed to be attended to in the n e a r future—hopefully before she laft on her y e a r ' s venture away from Hope.

And, oh, how it looked like the college's often maligned department w a s going to pull through for her—and us, a s well a s the students who would be living there during the 86-87 school year. The day before she left (that would be J u n e 16), two robust men c a m e to do the m a j o r fix-up job: replace the out-dated shower. Having to fill a bucket with w a t e r and splash it over one's head went out with pet rocks. Actually, resemblign the shower costume Ralph Maccio wore in The K a r a t e Kid p a r t I (not that p a r t II wasn't worth seeing), this shower really needed to be replaced. Had Ralph gone to the dance in our shower, he never would have been able to dance with his girlfriend. Inb fact, he wouldn't have been able to dance at all without the curtain sticking to his body. That shower was so small that the cockroaches in our apartment wouldn't even use it.

But I stray.

With h e r naive would view, the kindly p r o f e s s o r told her wayward sub-letters (me and my roommate) that we would be without the conveniences of a showering facility for a few days.

Knowing that not only would there be room to move while taking a shower, but to dance as well, I figured I could brave a few trips to the Dow (doging downed ceiling tiles and more maintenance men—this time installing air conditioning) for a brisk morning shower. I ' m a college student; I ' m a d a p t a l b e .

Well, the • days passed with maintenance men barging into my bedroom, unanounced, on their way to the bathroom, and it looked like we'd have a new shower in just over a week's time. How t h e anticipation mounted. Visitors commented on the excitement that they could feel in the air, but I think it was just body odor.

In that period of a week, the hardy helpers of Hope had hammered and hack-sawed, having accomplished hoards of handiwork. Hallelujiah! However, hardly had we harmonized our hymns of praise when the hourly help sessions halted—without any H 2 0 h o o k u p s in our (s)hower. Heavens!

The new Delta faucets were in place, those pretty plastic panels were put up (perfectly), and the plaster partitions were painstakingly pieced-in. Practically all that the professor petitioned for was professionally performed.

All thev needed to do was screw.

soon not have to see " D e a d Fish", " S t u f f " or "Confessions" anyway, as they add nothing to the paper which is only m a d e worse for their thoughts.

My own view and the view of many r e a s e a r c h e r s who study violence and aggression is that . 1 - 1 T_ violence begats .violence.

In aschool in which Christian love is supposed to be aU important.

why are violent cartoons in the paper?

Thank you, Sandy Hansen

Lighten up Sandy

She couldn't seem to understand that three people (we picked up a second r o o m m m a t e during the second week) living in one a p a r t m e n t a r e greatly inconven i e n c e d w i t h o u t a shower—especially since the Dow didn't open until 11:00 durinc the s u m m e r "But you can take a b a t h !

my roommate, with much of his patience drained, went to talk to someone in the business office about out little problem. Resign ed to our predicament, he un Dutchly thought we might b" able to get some sort of monetarv monetary compensation in the form of a partial rent rebate—just a toker amount, a mere pittance of the thousands upon thousands oi dollars we have pumped into this institution over the past several years. No luck.From the story he told me, he might as well have talked to someone at the food service. The cafeteria people would have told him that they certainl> couldn't do anything about it, anc that's exactly what the m a n in the business office said. Perhaps he would have at least gotten some sympathy from people who work at serving students. As il was, he got no sympathy, he got no money, and we got no shower—for the entire s u m m e r .

The college gave us nothing.

They soaked us for everything.

No showering of sympathy from Hope. Our hopes went down the drain.

I wouldn't have even bothered to write this letter because I find t h e w h o l e s i t u a t i o n so frustrating, plus I now live in a non-college-owned a p a r t m e n t with a shower, but I visited the a p a r t m e n t the other day, and as of September 26, it w a s still
