Congress on Off-Campus' by Greg Olgers
Student Congress met last Thursday evening at 10:00 PM to discuss issues of concern to the students. Receiving the most attention w a s the recent increase of action against off-campus p a r t i e s by he Holland City Police. Concern was expressed by m e m b e r s of the Congress that t h e police w e r e a c t i n g on p r e s s u r e f r o m the administration to disrupt student-related parties. Off-campus representatives cited an instance wherein a recent off-campus student party disrupted while a similar party given by Holland natives was left uninterrupted. The congress was divided on the issue. Some m e m b e r s saw the police activity as a positive step toward preventing the consumption of alcohol by students under 21. Other m e m b e r s saw the interference by authorities as amounting toward little more t h a n h a r a s s m e n t . , 4 They (the police) a r e taking p i c t u r e s , " c o m m e n t e d one o f f - c a m p u s representative. A concern was expressed that [the shut-down of the parties [would not stop drinking, but r a t h e r move it either on-campus, or worse, to Grand Rapids (or o t h e r l o c a l e s r e q u i r i n g an automobile ride), which could Ultimately lead to alcohol-related [traffic accidents. I President Dave Brat called for h e formation of a committee to examine the issue. Selected a s o-Chairpersons were Amy Ellis m d Chris Pinderski. The other m a j o r topic of jiscussion for t h e evening was he denial by the administration
of permission for the Ultimate Frisbee Club to attend a Sunday tournament in Detroit. Representative Tim Kelley, who also serves as Business Manager of the Ultimate Frisbee Club, felt that the length of notice given by the a d m i n i s t r a t i o n three days prior to the Sunday, October 21st t o u r n a m e n t - w a s insufficient. Tim noted that the Club had c o m m i t t e d itself to the tournament two weeks previously, and although it did not wish to violate college policy it also did not wish to cancel the tournament. After much discussion, ti was decided that club Captain Nate Munson and Tim Kelley would meet with the administration the next day ( F r i d a y , October 19) to discuss the problem and to learn of the college's policy concerning athletic activities. The latter concern was especially of im-^ portance to the club, as the majority of its t o u r n a m e n t s were to have taken place on Sundays. Also questioned w a s the policy of certain professors to lower student g r a d e s to d i s c o u r a g e absenteeism. The issue was to be r e f e r r e d to the a p p r o p r i a t e governance board for discussion. The validity of the rationale behind the e s t a b l i s h m e n t of parietals also w a s questioned, but the subject was tabled by the c o n g r e s s f o r d i s c u s s i o n at another time. Other concerns of the students, as voiced by the representatives were h e a r d and subsequently d e f e r r e d to the a p p r o p r i a t e boards and c o m m i t t e e s . Two r e p o r t s were received
concerning the activities of Hope's governing boards and committees. Suzanne Mitchell reported that the E x t r a Curricular Activities c o m m i t t e e had met T h u r s d a y (October 18) to review the request for a charter by the newlyformed Qlobal A w a r e n e s s Organization (GAO). The c h a r t e r had been approved by the committee. GAO is scheduled to meet with the Appropriations c o m m i t t e e Wednesday evening (October 24) to present their budget requests. Second Vice President G r e g Olgers reported that the Appropriations c o m m i t t e e had m e t on Wednesday, October 17th, to hear a request f r o m the Ultimate Frisbee Club for funding. The Ultimate Frisbee Club in past y e a r s had been funded by the Appropriations Committee, but had missed the spring *84 budgeting session at which the 1984-85 budgets had been set. $250 w a s allocated for travel expenses, e q u i p m e n t r e p l a c e m e n t , and telephone calls. As a final note, President B r a t urged the congress to continue to be receptive to the concerns of students, adding that they were encouraged to take their own initiative in. acting upon those concerns-using the Congress a s a voice of collective support when necessary. (Author's note: on F r i d a y afternoon Dean Dirkse gave the Ultimate F r i s b e e club permission to go to the Sunday, Octover
21st tournament provided that they respect the college policy prohibiting Sunday athletics in the f u t u r e ) . T T
by William DeBilder and Martin J . Hill Last Saturday, in-front of a Homecoming crowd of 5,366, the Dutchmen defeated the Adrian Bulldogs by a score of 38-17. That m a r k s the t e a m ' s seventh win in a row and their third in the MIAA, bringing their records to 7-0 and 3-0, respectively. The first score fo the g a m e c a m e off a 32 yard pass from G r e g H e e r e s to B r i a n Oosterhouse. Hope then proceeded to capitalize on Adrian turnovers to finish their scoring in the first half. Mike Stewart blocked a punt that bounced into the end zone where Senior Steve Zeldenrust pounced on it to add another touchdown to the score. Just two short plays later, it w a s Dave Morren's turn to play spoiler, as he fell on a Bulldog fumble deep in Adrian territory. Despite a 21 y a r d pass f r o m Heeres to Oosterhouse, the Dutch only could come up with a field goal.
Thanks to a 37 yard field goal the Bulldogs were able to get on the board in the first half. The second half opened with a bang as Hope drove 91 y a r d s for a touchdown on their first possession of the half. Two Heeres passes, one to Ryan P f a h l e r and another to Mike Sturm set up Heeres' one-yard keeper into the end zone. Adrian answered with two touchdowns of their own to close the gap to 24-17. And although it looked as though the Bulldogs had the m o m e n t u m , Greg Heeres broke loose for a 62 y a r d run to seal the g a m e . That run was his longest c a r e e r run and shifted the momentum back to the Dutch. The victory was assured when Heeres and Oosterhouse teamed up for another touchdown pass. The Dutchmen travel to Alma to take on the Scots at 1:30 on Saturday. The g a m e is important as Alma and Hope a r e the only undefeated t e a m s in the MIAA.

When questioned by a Trustee, F r e e m a n said that although slate would cost two to three t i m e s as much a s asphalt its useful life would be a t least two times as great.
