Candidates, students and community members questioned firsthand the political stances of local, state and U.S. Congressional candidates last night at a debate on campus.

90th District House Candidates Becky Arenas (D) and R e p . J e s s i e D a l m a n (R) b e g a n the evening, followed by 2nd Congressional House Candidates Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R) and Dan Krusynzski (D).

Around 60 people gathered in Peale to watch the debate and ask questions.

"I just changed my voter registration to Holland, and I really don't know a lot about the candidates except f r o m the newspaper," said Kelly Jansen ('97). " I ' m here to ask my questions and get a little more information, especially about the non-incumbents."

Even students registered to vote in their hometowns expressed the importance of the debates. " I ' m not registered in Holland, but I think that whenever we get a chance to hear a legislator speak, we should take it," said Karen Sugden ('97). "We can educate other people, not only ourselves, on issues that are important to us."

The debate was sponsored by the League of Women Voters and the Hope Democrats and Republicans.

A I M and Greeks party w i t h mocktails RACHEL LAMB and CARRIE X E N M A N X staff reporter and campusbeat editor On Monday night. Alcohol Issues Matter (AIM) held its second annual "Mocktail Party" in Phelps to kick off National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week.

"We're not really mocking mixed drinks, just saying you don't need alcohol in them to have f u n , " said Jori Kumpf ('99), a member of AIM and a "bartender" at the parly.

Kumpf added that AIM strives to show students that there are people on campus that care about making people aware of alternatives to partying.

"We promote responsible use of alcohol.

We're not anti-drinking or anti-partying," said Kevin Burgun ('99).

A I M ' s Mocktail Party wasn't the only alcohol-free event to hit campus in the past week.

The Greeks also sponsored a Mocktail parly in the Klelz last Wednesday as part of their Greek Week activities.

Each Greek organization entered their own drink "recipe" for the event.

Independents, faculty, and staff tasted and judged the recipes and mingled with Greeks

over pizza and card games.

"I thought that it was a great way for Greeks to bond and a great way for independents to interact with Greeks," said Eryn Poley ('99), member of the Alpha G a m m a Phi sorority.

The purpose of the AIM Mocktail Party was to get people interested in AIM and the activities they will be sponsoring this week, including cocoa in the Pine Grove on Wednesday morning and a keynote speaker, Jeff Viening, at 9 p.m. in the Otte Room Thursday.

"I think it's a great idea to promote responsibility with alcohol. 1 hadn't heard about (National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week] before, but now I know," said Craig Kopas ('99), party attender.

The Greek Week Mocktail event provided an informal atmosphere for socializing and studybreaking in a non-alcoholic setting.

"I came because I was hungry, it was free, and I wanted to hang out with the Greeks," said event attender Karl Rasche ('00).

Other students at the AIM party sampling Mexican Sunsets, Bloody Marys, Pina Coladas, Shirley Temples, and Cardinal Punch seemed to miss the point of the Mocktail Party. Many still did not know it was National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week, or even what organization was sponsoring the parly.

No fault divorce a reason to support Arenas Dear Editor, Jessie Dalman, Holland's Stale Representative who is running for re-election this November, is sponsoring a bill that would end no fault divorce. This means that any time a c o u p l e wants to get a divorce blame has to be attributed to one side. I ' m sure the rationale is that by m a k i n g d i v o r c e h a r d e r that couples won't get a divorce. Do you really believe that?

I believe that if a couple is going

to get a divorce a law that makes them assign blame is not going to stop them. It's just going to make it a harder process. Isn't divorce already hard enough? Already kids are torn between two parents who don't get along after a divorce. Assigning blame in a divorce will just make it harder for kids involved.

If domestic violence is involved the victim would know that they have to face their aggressor in court.

It's already hard enough for women in that situation to get up the cour-

How many people actually know what happened with the smoking ban in the Kletz last year? I was asking myself this question on Sunday night while being interviewed about the ban [for a media class project.) I find it difficult to understand how someone can pay close to $ 19,000 a year to come to Hope, and then not care what happens on campus while they are here. Maybe it's that students know that Hope has a good reputation. Maybe it's that the students feel things are okay. Maybe it's that the students don't care that there's a hair in their f o o d at Phelps. M a y b e students d o n ' t c a r e if the a d m i n i s t r a t i o n

eliminates the Greeks. Maybe students w o n ' t care if their opinions will not be permitted in the Anchor uncensored. Maybe students don't care if the administration doesn't always pass things through committees following procedures they dictate to student organizations (The Kletz). Maybe.

Maybe I'm an optimist, but I honestly b e l i e v e that s t u d e n t s c a r e about stuff like this. The problem is that the students' voice. Student Congress, isn't being told what to say. If you. as a student at Hope College, have a concern, then voice it. Each student enrolled at this college has a Student Congress representative. If you don't know who your rep is but want to voice your

spend time with her children.

Swanson said, balancing is tough in spite of a supportive husband and co-workers.

"A student comes in for a conference and they expect to see only you. The student is trying to talk and you're bouncing and she's crying and you hope they understand," she said.

Bouma-Prediger praised the support he gets from fellow faculty members and even students.

When you're toting a crying child "generally you get knowing glances from faculty who have been there in the past." he said.

Things are changing When Nicodemus started teaching over 30 years ago, she was the only woman with young children on the faculty.

"Women who had decided to go into academics didn't have a family was the assumption." she said.

Now. more than ever before parents with young children make up the C o l l e g e ' s faculty and staff.

Resulting in the reestablishment of Hope's policy concerning maternity leave.

Currently, new Moms get two weeks off for child birth and an additional four weeks for family time.

While that gives six weeks of paid time off. many moms and dads take an unpaid sabbatical or partial leave for the first several months to spend lime with ihe newest family member.

Some colleges have a policy that you cannot bring your child to work with you. Bui, Hope isn't an ivory tower that bans kids from campus.

Instead, ihe College tries to help parents by pulling them in touch with child care agencies and allowing them flexibility to make the arrangements that work best with their own schedule and family.

Urbana to open a world of opportunity NOELLE W O O D staff reporter As Chaplain Dolores Nasrallah walked the University of Illinois campus at ihe 1987 Urbana, she contemplated God's call on her life.

She t u r n e d to a c o m p l e t e stranger walking beside her and asked him if he thought the longing she felt to serve God was a divine appointment to enter the ministry.

According to Nasrallah, Urbana is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see what God is doing in the world. " D o n ' t be a f r a i d to g o . " Nasrallah said. "Don'l be afraid to open yourself up and allow God to speak to you. Go to get the big picture of G o d ' s heart for the world."

As more than 17,000 students gather at the University of Illinois from Dec. 27-31, Student Outreach Director, Lori Fair, hopes students will be receptive to God

working in their life, regardless of career goals.

Urbana is nol only for those who are planning to devote their lives to missions. It is for a n y o n e w h o would like the experience of being surrounded by others who share ihe same faith.

Julie Grahmann ( ' 9 7 ) who attended Urbana in 1993 remembers the camaraderie among students.

"It was so cool to bump into people and know that they're Christians." Grahmann said.

Hope's goal is to send 100 students to the event. The goal may be reached since about 75 have already

signed up.

Thanks to a sizeable corporate donation the cost to attend has been lowered from the original price of $340 to $150. Transportation will be provided from Hope, and food and lodging at the University are all included in the fee.

The convention tries to facilitate mingling among students from different schools by dividing students into prayer groups.

Also, seminars will be given by speakers from around the world, on missions work. And for students interested in furthering their educalion in ministry there is an opportunity to investigate over 250 ministry agencies.

Although Hope has never sent a group of students to the convention the College's connection to Urbana goes back to its beginnings 50 year ago. when Hope's famous missionary Samuel Zwemer spoke to students at the first Urbana.

Students interested in Urbana should contact the Keppel House at *7829 before Nov. 1.

"I do it partly for my daughter. I want her to see that you can be both a professor and a mom," Swanson said.

The struggle is a daily one but the rewards of spending time with your child and continuing the career you love make it worth it.

Stewart said, as she turned to look at Katie.

Sheldon delivered Clayton Bergsma ('00) a pass lhal he used perfectly to slam into the back of the net. Thai goal was his third in ihe last four games. "(Sheldon) has been playing real well lately," said f o r w a r d Blair Richards ('98). "He has been up and down the field playing offense and defense. He is a solid player."

Hope is currently ranked third in

Smilh and his players are nol as concerned wilh those iwo teams as ihey are wilh Olivet, whom they face next Saturday.

"We're nol even thinking about K e n y o n right now," Smith said.

"The only game we are really worried about right now is Olivet and that's the way we have to be as a team," he said. "I mean, first of all, we haven't even qualified for the national tournament yet, and second of all, if we start looking ahead right now we'll probably drop lo Olivet," Smilh said.

Esteves takes new starting role in stride DAVE GABRIELSE staff reporter Dean Esteves ('99) came lo Hope in the fall of last year in the hopes that he would soon be the starting quarterback. He fell that he had the ability lo be at the helm of the team, and coming to Hope would provide him with the atmosphere lo do so.

Wilh Esteves taking the starting role since the Homecoming game on Oct. 12, it h a s c a u s e d m a n y people to think that he and Justin Wormmeester ('99) don't gel along.

This statement is totally wrong. The two are actually good friends. " W o r m m e e s t e r and I are always rooting for each other, so I don't see how there can be any problems between us," Esteves said.

"It is fun to play with these guys.

I have played with them for what seems like forever," Esteves said.

Esteves just takes things in stride, and whatever happens is okay. "I am never nervous when I play," he said. "I just play because I love the game."

"We have to feel confident lhal we can win, and go from there," Esteves said.
