Rabbi says Christianity another way to define Judaism; wants Christians and Jews to understand each other

Bulk Rat* U.S. Pottagt PAID Ptrmit #392 Holland, Ml

Volume 103, Number 7

• HOPE) -- Rabbi J a c o b Neusner. an internationally recognized scholar in Judaic Studies, will speak at Hope College through the college s Presidential Lecture Series on Thursday, Oct. 25 at 11 a.m.

Neusner will lecture on the subject "What You Wouldn't Know about Religion if You Didn't Know Judaism ' in Dimnent Memorial Chapel Neusner is a prolific writer and has published books on almost every aspect of Judaic studies He has produced critical editions of Jewish religious texts, written extensively on the history of the formation of Judaism and the development of various ideas in Judaism and contributed much to discussions regarding ap p r o p n a t e methods in Judaic studies.

He is even better known for his work which interprets Judaism to a wider audience. Neusner's work has provided a foundation for understanding how the study of Judaism fits into the academic study of religion He has also written numerous textbooks wmch a r e widely used in the undergraduate study of Judaism, and he has written several children's textbooks in which he introduces children to the literature of Judaism and to the rabbis who have transmitted Jewish tradition Several of Neusner's books deal with the relationship of Judaism and Christianity, and his insights have contributed to a much deeper understanding of Christianity's origins Especially important has l)een his view of J u d a i s m and Christianity as two competing views of J u d a i s m .

As a participant in Jewish and Christian dialogue, Neusner has insisted that it is important to see Judaism and Christianity as two disinct religions, rejecting the idea of a common " J u d e o - C h n s t i a n " tradition. While Christians interpret the Old Testament in light of the New Testament. J e w s read their scripture in light of the rabbinical writings-and the two faiths have developed independently since parting company by the end of the first century He hopes that in recognizing their differences and distinctions.

Jews and Christians will be able to respect each other and learn to work together. His most recent book, "A Priest and a Rabbi Read Scripture Together'' (Warner Books. 1990), is an example of the kind of dialogue between Jews and Christians that he has initiated.

Neusner has spent most of his career at Brown University, where since 1982 he has been the university professor and Ungerleider Distinguished Scholar of Judaic Studies. He has recently accepted a position at the University of South Florida, where he is the g r a d u a t e research professor of humanities and religious studies.

Rabbi Neusner, a Judaic scholar, will be giving a lecture this Thursday In Dimnent chapel. PR P h o t o

Psychology professor wins educational award for software

by Pam Lundberg feature editor Dr. Thomas Ludwig, associate professor of psychology, received an award for best psychology software for his PsychSim II prog r a m in t h e E D U C O M NCRIPTAL Higher Education Software Awards Competition.

Competing for a w a r d s in various disciplines were professors from such universities as Brown, Carnegie Mellon, Har-

vard Law School, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and University of California. Ludwig was one of nine people to receive a "best" award. He expected to receive one of 14 "distinguished" awards because of the positive feedback he had gotten from Apple. Ludwig comments that "It was more of a thrill to win first place because this is the only national software competition."

Thus, this is the only way to get recognition nationally.. Dr. Lud-

wig was also surprised that software for an introductory class would receive such an award.

Prior to 1984, Dr. Thomas Ludwig developed software to use for his own research in cognitive aging. Using this experience, he wrote a few small programs to use in his own classes. Soon, as his software improved, other professors used it, and he began distributing PsychSim. In 1984, the same company that publishes Dr. David Myers* textbooks ask-

News Board cuts sophmore male from Nykerk '90

by Bill Meengs arts editor Nykerk '90 became the center of another integration push as Eric Westra ('93) attempted to participate in the tradtionally all female Nykerk competition He was denied participation by the Campus Life board a f t e r hearing representatives of both sides.

Westra said he tried out for the competition because he loves to sing, not just to make waves.

"I just thought it would be fun to sing in Nykerk" Westra said.

Westra said he liked the competative aspect of Nykerk, which is why he said he went out for song instead of being a morale guy Westra was a morale guy in last y e a r ' s competition, but says 4 i found it unappealing."

When asked about why he didn't go out for song last year, Westra responded that it was his first year on campus, so he went along with the tradition.

The Nykerk tradition spans 55 years and that has been the obstacle Westra has not overcome.

The Campus Life board addressed the issue at its Oct 16 meeting and voted 8 to 1 to leave the Nykerk tradition intact for at least this year, though they have put it under review.

Becky Van Hekken ('91), chair of the Nykerk committee, said in the Grand Rapids Press, "A guy can't just show up and expect to overturn 55 years of tradition just like t h a t . " Van Hekken continued "If we allow the show to become in-

tegrated, my feeling is that this whole grand tradition will die " In the Holland Sentinel. Van Hekken said. 4,I think its very valiant of Eric, but the song has already been set and its a girl's song I am open for suggestions for next year, but this year is too late " This refers to the fact the '93 song has been decided and is "Ma. He's Making Eyes at Me " Westra responded that this song was written in four parts, but that it isn't necessary that additional copies be ordered since he can also sing 2nd alto.

Westra also said the song was not written in the first person so that it wouldn't look that strange to have a male singing it.

Westra said that before he took his case to the Campus Life board, he called alumni to get their opinions on the issue.

Westra said. "Most people were apathetic and really didn't care."

•UK-

I

He said. "About two-thirds weren't opposed to it." Westra said that he had called about one person for each letter of the alphabet In response to the questions about the board hearing, Westra said that the board "spent 15 minutes discussing whether or not to discuss it since it wasn't on the a g e n d a . " Westra said thai unlike the usual pro-con speaker rotation, speakers were simply chosen at random in this case so he couldn't respond to some of the arguments.

The panel eventually decided that they would look into intergrating Nykerk, but that it couldn't be done this year.

Eric Westra ( 93) said he faced opposition and apathy in his attempt to participate in Nykerk.

Organizers refused to let him join the song women so Westra took his arguments to the Campus Life board. The board decided the integration of Nykerk will be looked into for next year. P h o i o b y Janel

When asked about the Pull.

Westra said that he thought that it IK? fair if Nykerk is integrated, the Pull should be too. Westro said that having girls with ability in the pull would be greM Westra said he didn't think there was much interest with women wanting to get on the rope as there is with men wanting to t>e involved with Nykerk Westra said he knew that therr would be opposition, but that he didn't try out to m a k e waves, or take a stand on the Pull-Nykerk sexism issue. He said that he chose Nykerk becuase "I have no desire to tug on a rope for three hours."

Westra said " I don't want to change the whole tradition, just h o p e f u l l y e v o l v e it i n t o something b e t t e r . " Westra also said he sees tradition as a poor a r g u m e n t . " T h e r e a r e so many traditions t h a t have died, fresh (persons) used to wear beanies, (and) chapel used to be required " Westra said The Campus Life board , it should be noted, did not rule out integration, they felt that "one quick decision like this should not be the vehicle to i n t e g r a t e Nykerk " If the Campus Life board decides to integrate Nykerk for next year s competition. Westra will be an ineligible junior Westra said he is " f r u s t r a t e d and s a d d e n e d " that he was unable to particpate, but it was interesting to see what a big deal was m a d e out of it.

Thus far there have been no of ficial rules, simply handed down tradition.

Social research students survey Holland community

by Julie Sauer staff writer y o r I v-s ix sociology students at Hope College conducted a survey of Holland Residents October 10-12 investigating the quality of life in Holland.

Students enrolled in Hope's "Social Science Research Methods' class developed the questions for the survey, interviewed the participants, compiled the data and also helped evaluate it.

"The idea was to have the students involved in the survey from the beginning to the e n d the whole project," said Debra Harvey, professor for the class "Hopefully, we will hold a press conference to present the results to the Holland City Council," Martey added.

The students interviewed app r o x i m a t e l y 800 r a n d o m l y selected Holland residents. The average phone interview was 8 minutes in duration According to Michelle Imhoff ('92), a student p a r t i c i p a n t , everyone had to complete 17 surveys.

"It took me about 3-4 hours total," said Tracey Piasecki ('92).

"There were some people who didn't want to take the t i m e . " commented Brian Keisling ('92).

"Because of refusals, I had to call about 30 people, and some say that that was l u c k y , " r e m a r k e d Imhoff.

On the whole, the Holland participants were fairly receptive said both Piasecki and Keisling.

"We interviewed between 6 and 10 p m 7 the time when people a r e usually unwinding from' a day of

work, eating or getting together as a family Many people even wanted to m a k e additional comm e n t s and a s k e d q u e s t i o n s themselves," elaborated Piasecki. " T h e r e a r e many different views on what things are like in Holland -different opinions depending on where the people live.

Usually you think of Holland as having all the s a m e opinion, but it doesn't." detailed Piasecki " I was surprised to find that the people in West Ot tawa area considered downtown a metropolis."

"Older people had different viewpoints than the younger people." commented Imhoff "A lot of us noticed that many people have a false impression of how safe Holland is."

The s i j r v e j was conducted through' 'the' riew Carl Frost

C e n t e r for Social Science Research which is located on the second floor of Van Zoeren Hall The center, which began operating this year, was designed to train Hope's sociology students in the research methods used by social scientists. Dr. Roger Nemeth, associate professor of sociology at Hope, coordinates the center "I learned how things a r e done and the time that it takes to put together a good s u r v e y , " said Keisling "I didn't realize how time consuming it was. I'm sure I'll have to do something like it someday."

Imhoff agreed. "It involved lots of extra time, but it was very interesting " She also commented. " I ' m m o r e likely to answer a phone survey now that I've done one."

"It was a real eye-opener--a great experience to have behind me," declared Piasecki. "Nou 1 know 1 can do this kind of research in the f u t u r e because I have this survey a s a base."

Although the Carl Frost Center was designed with student needs in m i n d , the c o m m u n i t i e s positive reaction indicates that its services are meeting another need. More than two dozen requests from agencies were submitted to the center this summer The Center will be conducting a study of Hope a l u m n i and a nation wide survey for the Reformed Church of America in addition to the Holland survey. These projects were chosen for their u s e f u l n e s s in i n s t u r c t i n g students according to N e r t e t h . '

Hope awards non-traditional scholarshiDS to two students

by Carrie Maples staff writer The first Linn Gann NonTraditional Student Scholarships have been awarded to Patricia Carlson and Susan Kurtycz.

The scholarship fund w a s created last year through the efforts of Gann, who was a nontraditional student at Hope, and Phyllis Hooyman, director of financial aid. Gann received her degree in business administration in the spring of 1968. "After graduation I really felt if there would have been a scholarship it would have decreased my indebtedness," she said.

"Phyllis (Hooyman) is doing a great job of putting together aid packages," said Gann, but she felt more could be done to help non-traditional students.

The scholarship fund was established as a result of their efforts.

The criteria for receiving the scholarship are as follows; 1) the student must meet the nontraditional definition of being a displaced homemaker or single parent; 2) the student must be 23 or older or have been out of school for two year .3) the student must enroll in at least three credit hours per semester.

Hooyman said, "We're very often targeting it to people with students in the home."

"Compared to the traditional student, these students are often older with low income and few resources. In addition to college costs, they are faced with housing expenses and child-care

responsibilities, both during enrollment and after graduation.

This fund helps non-traditional students avoid excessive borrowing and indebtedness/' said Hooyman.

Carlson is a single-parent planning to earn a major in English and a minor in women's studies.

She intends to pursue a graduate degree in library science after c o m p l e t i n g her b a c h e l o r ' s degree.

Kurtycz is a senior and has been attending Hope for three years.

She is planning to graduate in May with a degree in psychology and is considering pursuing a master's in social work.

Being a non-traditional student was 'Hough" said Gann.

"Students are very serious, not that traditional students aren't, because of added pressure. It's a commitment on their part." The goal of the scholarship is to make it a little easier.

4 T m really encouraged by the positive response from the community as a whole, which enabled us to award two scholarships so soon after starting the scholarship fund." Gann said. "Weare oven Unking at awarding a third : p f o l a r s b i o for the s p r i n g set ii m e t ' The scholarship steering committee would like to raise enough funding to endow the scholarship, making it self-sustaining.

Currently the college is investigating the possibility of supplementing individual donations to the fund with foundation support.

Remember the scene in the movie E.T. where Elliot set all the frogs in his science class free? Some would say this would be a waste of good hands-on material. Others would argue that Elliot did the right thing.

Pat Graham, working with the national Animal Legal Defense Fund, started a D i s s e c t i o n Hotline (l-aoO-922-FROG) that would help provide resources, support, and, when necessary, legal assistance, to students who object to harming animals in the classroom. The hotline offers a free Student Handbook, as well as information on alternatives to animal dissection.

Some of the alternative educatonal tools for teaching high school and college biology inc lude computer simulations, anatomical models and charts, films, videotapes and books.

Graham feels that dissection desensitized students to animal suffering and teaches the wrong lessons in biology such that animal life is cheap and expendable.

Various students and biology professors at Hope College were asked their opinions on how they felt about dissections done in lower level biology classes.

Dr. David Netzly ranks human l i f e and k n o w l e d g e m o r e valuable than animal life. He

feels even beginning students should see fresh samples of animals to dissect and look at.

"It is valuable for students," Netzly said, "to actually see the digestive systems of animals to get a real appreciation for different types of organ systems."

Netzly s t r e s s e d that experiments can be done sensitively. He said limited numbers of specimens can be used such as one frog for a group of ten students or for a demonstration set-up.

Dr. Allen Brady said students can get a better appreciation of their own bodies when they actually explore the internal anatomy of animals.

A c c o r d i n g to Brady, the h i g h e s t f o r m of a n i m a l s dissected in lower level biology classes in the past were rats.

Presently, due to expense, the highest forms used are frogs, in limited numbers.

Dr. David Cronkite, biology department chairperson, said all of Hope's professors take the question of dissection in a sens i t i v e w a y . He said using substitutions to actual dissection, such as books and diagrams, can sometimes be appropriate.

However, Cronkite said, "The essence of good biology is to make very careful and accurate observations of nature itself ."

Crcnkite said if dissection is not used, professors must ask themselves,"What can we do to

provide an equivalent educational experience?"

Cronkite stressed it's important to make sure that the animals do not die in vain. This means that the students are instructed to take dissection as serious as possible and use the knowledge to their advantage.

Biology major Jim Loats (*91) said that lower level biology students probably don't need to have actual experience with dissection.

Loats said, "But there is definitely a difference between having a professor or a book tell you something is true, and finding out for yourself in the lab."

Cynthia Tanty C92) said, "Although I'm not a science major, I think that they should keep dissecting in the lower levels. I realize that it would be more beneficial to the upper levels but I am really interested and do not have the time or inclination to take an upper level biology course."

Cronkite agreed and said that to not have hands-on experience (dissection) in lower level biology classes would be contrary to the spirit of the core curriculum.

"The point of taking core c l a s s e s is to b e c o m e well educated in a variety of areas said Cronkite.

It can shade colors, shadow letters, produce con trasting bands of colors and perform various other functions "It takes a while for me to do these things because I'm just getting used to it," said Kelder He also said, "Knowing what it can do is the first step in doing it " Kelder will be attending a one day workshop in Lansing on October 25 to learn more about fundamentals of the system Kelder said he was chosen, " b e c a u s e I have been messing around with it the most." Ted Nielsen and Guy VanderJagt professors of communications, taught Kelder and Heather Shoup ( 92) the basics of operating the Chyron early this semester Kelder has since been exploring the system on his own "Once you get the basics, it's easy to u n d e r s t a n d . " he said "The Chyron computer is a great investment."

Nielsen explained, "We had one system for six y e a r s that was wearing out and (we) decided it was necessary to upgrade it both for the college and for student purposes "

The communication depart ment television studio received a new edition to their equipment this s u m m e r , an 111,000 Chyron computer A Chyron c o m p u t e r is a technological device which puts words on a screen, such as Tom VanHowe's n a m e on Channel B's "Live at 5:30" show In comparison, the Chyron computers operated at broadcast studios run about 150,000 to 60,000. " I t ' s a great machine It has lots of uses and is lots of fun too." said Jon Kelder ('90), one of the three people who currently know how to use the Chyron.

(Consisting of the actual new computer and a keyboard hooked up to a monitor and a TV (on which the final project can be viewed as a viewer at home would see itj, the Chyron system is " m o r e advanced than the old Apple computer s y s t e m . " According to Kelder, "It is a lot easier to p r o g r a m . It's much faster and more user friendly " l ^ e new Chyron computer can draft a scene in three seconds whereas the old computer formulated in ten plus seconds.

alumni and other substantial contributors at next y e a r ' s drive for more student scholarships and faculty research funds.

According to Nielsen, to hire p r o f e s s i o n a l s to p r o d u c e a similar promotional video would cost $1,500 to $2,000 "We pur chased this Chyron computer because one. it was cheaper and two, the students could become involved in its u s e .

Conference exposes anchor staff to professional journalism, issues Several staff members of the Hope College anchor attended a conference at the University of Michigan this past weekend.

The conference, held Oct. 19-20 and sponsored by the Univeristy Press Club of Michigan, offered panel discussions on community journalism, access to public documents through the Freedom of Information Act and jour nalists' sensitivity to victims and victims' rights.

The keynote speaker was Deni Elliott, director of the Institute for the Study of Applied and Professional Ethics at Dartmouth College.

Upward Bound students receive instruction for their three hours of work they will put in at Burger King. A percentage of the money the students made last Saturday went toward the Upward Bound scholarship and the Cultural Enrichment fund.

Upward Bound students earn funding at Burger King . by Rychard Bouwens staff writer Students enrolled in the Hope College Upward Bound program • from six regional school districts operated the 16th Street Burger King last Saturday from 9 a.m. to . 3 p.m. to raise funds for the Upward Bound Scholarship and the Cultural Enrichment Fund.

Ten percent of the days proceeds were donated to the fund. ' To allow more students to participate, the students worked in two separate three-hour shifts.

• During their stay, the Burger King employees trained the parr ticipants to do a variety of tasks, . such as cleaning, operating the cash register, cooking, and nearly every aspect of the daily , operation of a Burger King restaurant.

Following the instructions of the staff, they performed their tasks eagerly. f Viewing this as a contribution to their community, many participants exuded quite a ' cooperative and helpful aura.

Efrain Sandoval, 16, from Holland Jr. High, said, u It gives me the opportunity to help out my community and do something on Saturday.*' He continued, saying, 4 T m also doing this for the scholarships for seniors." Luis Pardo, 15, a student at Holland High School, said, 4, We...come and do projects to...help the community."

Students agree on the value of such experience in preparing for a career. Sally Trevino, 14, from Holland Jr. High, said, "It's a great experience. It helps me know what to do when I get a job." Luis Pardo, 15, said, "I think you'd rather work in an office, but it gives you the chance ft) s e t Whtat i f 3 like working ^t a ^fast-food restaurant..

"The students appreciate the responsibility of operating a fastfood r e s t a u r a n t and enjoy meeting the public while also raising money for their own scholarship and cultural enrichment fund," said Elizabeth Colburn, the director of Upward Bound.

Many students say they have nothing else to do, so the idea of working at Burger King provides them with a way to use their time constructively. Asked if she enjoyed working at Burger King, Sally Trevino, 14, said, "Yeah, why not? I had nothing else to do today."

t h e i r l i v e s , e s p e c i a l l y in academics. Sally Trevino, 16, said, 'They work with you and help you keep your grades up."

Eric Ruibal, 15 , from Holland High School, said, 4 i t helps you, like in school activities. They hold regular sessions from 6:00 8:30 Mondays and Wednesdays and extra ones on Tuesdays and Thursdays."

In the midst of this, the Burger King restaurant operated normally, despite bthe chaotic effect that youths would potentially bring. Customers enjoyed the luxury of viewing an influx of steadfastly working youths, who at times may have outnumbered themselves.

Elliott compared reporters' to fundraisers and s o u r c e s to donors in that the former solicit "donations'' and the latter give a "gift."

"I thought that it originally wasn't designed for college journalism, but I thought it was good because a lot of the stuff that they spoke on could be related to what we're doing," said Bill Meengs ('91), anchor arts and entertainment editor.

"It wasn't your usual how to write a sports story or how to do an i n t e r v i e w t y p e of conference," he continued. "Plus the football game was fun."

Staff members had the opportunity to purchase tickets to the

Michigan-Iowa football game if they attended the conference.

Editorial Editorial

cn IN "TOOAy'S LLSSOKI, CLASS, WE: EXPTCFTE. TVIE. IWC^CASlKlfe ISOLATIOM OF THE. l^blVI&UAL IN SOOCT/.

Integration issue needs slow, careful deliberation Once again tradition is under fire and charges of sexism are being alleged across campus Hope student Eric Westra ('93), however, has gone beyond the letters to the editor page and challenged the unofficial bylaws of Nykerk.

Westra attempted to join the song part of the traditional female event, which also features a play and an oration. The Campus Life Board, however, told him he couldn't be involved in the traditionally female aspects of the event this year. (See storv Pages.)

While Nykerk is technically sexist because it only allows women to participate, the intent of Nykerk and its 55-year tradition demands that gender integration deserves serious consideration from both sides.

The reorganization of Nykerk (should the student body desire the event be changed) needs to be planned out and prepared for long before practices begin.

If a male is interested in participating in Nykerk, he must be willing to recognize the importance of tradition in this event and to deal with that tradition. He or she (with the Pull or any of the morale teams) must begin the steps necessary for admittance in participation early enough to allow the system to deal with it.

In the case of Nykerk, the process is to speak with the Nykerk committee and with the Campus Life board.

Unfortunately in Westra's case, the lateness of his actions forced these two committees into a quick decision.

The quick decision does not seem to have been made lightly, though. The Campus Life Board opened their meeting to nearly 50 people, which shows their willingness to listen and to not make light of the decision.

If the board had allowed Westra to participate this year, it would have rashly thrown 55 years of tradition out the window.

The nearly 300 past and present particpants still on campus deserve more consideration than rashness.

Now the boards must work toward a decision before next year on whether Nykerk should be integrated.

Some would argue that tradition should not be considered, comparing it to the tradition arguments for first-year student beanies (an object of ridicule for the upper classes). Others argue that the classes who come after this year's participants won't know anything different than an integrated Nykerk.

However, the Nykerk tradition is very emotionally binding.

Therefore, any idea of Nykerk reorganization should not be embarked upon lightly.

It is hoped that whichever committees, individuals (or groups, push for gender integration will consider the tradition, the emotional involvement and the other possibilities so as to keep Nykerk an honored tradition.

Along those lines, the anchor supports the members of the 1993 and 1994 classes participating in Nykerk "90. Westra's efforts integrate the event should not be taken as diminishing respect for Nykerk. Nykerk is a serious competition that should still celebrate the "meeting in the middle."

Nykerk is a tradition that may need change. But that change should only come through organized, intelligent action. Does the student body as a whole think that integration is necessary?

TTiis year, the student body did not have a chance to be involved in the decision on whether or not to integrate Nykerk. In the future, Student Congress - as a whole, not just as a few Campus Life Board members - should be involved in that decision.

Student Congress should become fully informed through the Nykerk committee, past participants and any other concerned groups on campus so as to pass a resolution about what the Congress infers the student body thinks about the issue.

The people who choose to participate in Nykerk, in Pull or in any other campus event do so for a variety of reasons. In most cases, a strong emotional attachment is made by the people involved about their work. They, male or female, deserve consideration for their decision to participate For the good of this year's Nykerk event, it is better that discus sions on integration were postponed until after the competition. It is now up to the students and to the decision-makers on the relevant boards to look at this idea thoroughly and thoughtfully If gender integration is truly what is desired by the people of the Hope community, they won't tet the issue fade away.

" lie stood up screaming and plowed through the chairs out the door The junior was left sitting there em harassed arid unsure what she had done to cause such a response. Hy thai year, though, she should have known already what was wrong with that senior and many like him Ves, it was the first outbreak of Senior Syndrome Unfortunately, it won't be the last What is Senior Syndrome 9 What it isn t is the s a m e as senioritis. The latter is the n a m e for the condition of good natured apathy that prevents high school seniors from studying. Senioritis causes m a n y dropped g r a d e points in high school, but it often sets m a f t e r Christmas when colleges a r e evaluating students for admission.

Senioritis becomes fatal to high school seniors a f t e r they have been admitted to college or have been hired for after graduation. Now the g r a d e s don't matter Senioritis can be enjoyed as a free period to enjoy life without the struggle of g r a d e worry.

Senioritis is all that Senior Syndrome is not. Senior Syndrome is anything but good-natured and apathetic. It is a stressful, hairtearing time of constant panic.

The Syndrome often strikes near finals of the first semester of the senior year. Suddenly all the graduating seniors must face the future. The thought of the eighth and last semester is exciting. but it's also final. It is the end of college. F o r many it's the end of the parental free-ride For

Hello and greetings. In the past few weeks, Student Congress has dealt with s o m e fairly important issues that effect student life at Hope College. Today's letter will deal with three of these issues; Phelps food, the controversy behind the A.J. Muste sculpture, and a possible survey.

The F o o d C o m m i t t e e had begun to deal with various concerns about Phelps food. The Committee had already decided, with an idea f r o m professor Tim Pennings to monitor wasted food with a bar graph for all to see.

Along with signs is the cafeteria encouraging s t u d e n t s to jeat conservatively, professor Pennings

The dry c a m p u s policy simply m a k e s it a little less convenient for those who want to drink If Hope discontinued its policy, people who do not want to be involved in the drinking scene would be brought in against their will, as the noise of drunken hallmates and indorm parties would violate the rights of those who choose to stay in their room for one reason or another.

We hate to burst your bubble, Ms Stryker, but even now with a dry c a m p u s policy not "everything is within the l a w " like you seem to think. We would hate to see what Hope would be like with no such rule. Besides, roughly three-fourths of the student body is below the legal drinking a g e and should not have such easy access to alcohol.

There is a method to what you think is madness. Laws governing behavior a r e necessary to keep society running relatively smoothly. Yes, these a r e decisions m a d e for us, but these a r e not m a d e indiscriminantly.

Laws a r e based upon past exp e r i e n c e and k n o w l e d g e of human nature. Narcotics a r e illegal because scientists have proven positive correlations between the use of drugs and adverse physical, emotional and psychological effects. It is not necessary to test everything to m a k e decisions about them. People must understand that laws a r e made for the benefit of society as a whole. We must look beyond ourselves, which might be a new e x p e r i e n c e f o r some.and see how our actions affect others. This, Ms. Stryker, is the lesson that will be learned the h a r d way in the " r e a l world" if we don't learn it now. Not very many people in this world value egocentrism.

And anyway, if w e ' r e all as moral as you think we are, then we shouldn't have any problems with these policies.

la reading Katy Stryker s Oc tober 17 column we were appall ed at the mindset apparent in the arguments. Ms. Stryker s e e m s to have overlooked some impor cant facts and we d like to set her straight.

First off. we would like to say that we a g r e e that students should decide the fate of the A. J. Muste sculpture. The Board of Trustees and the administration have no basis for their complaints about something with which they will have next to no contact.

But that is not the reason for this letter. It is apparent that Ms. Stryker has little understanding of human n a t u r e or the need for societal rules.

The fact that Hope is a " C h r i s t i a n " school does not g u a r a n t e e that all students a r e Christians or even hold common values. Hope College is " C h r i s t i a n " in that it holds strong ties to the Reformed Church in America, and the Christian dimension is encouraged and evident in the classroom and in e x t r a c u r r i c u l a r activities.

However, it is obvious that Hope is not a Bible college, for chapel is not m a n d a t o r y , there is no necessary signed statement of faith, along with a host of other differences. A person must be either ignorant or incredibly naive to think that 2,800 people from vastly different backgrounds will share values which a r e beneficial to all.

* Why I am here

y

LAST WRITES During my senior year of high school, somewhere back there just off M-66/86, those who were responsible for the education of myself and my friends, decided it would be a good idea if we had some idea why we were students at Colon High School. Therefore, they held a contest to develop a statement of "Why I Am Here," a student-written declaration of the purpose of secondary education.

Now, four years and how many hours of study later, I find myself a senior in college wondering "Why am I here?" Fine time to consider it, I know, but the answer is relevant in determining where I (we) go from here.

Why have I put myself through all this? Why do I forgo sleep to read Faulkner' Why do 1 write paper after seemingly endless paper, most after midnight Why am I in Planetology?

For some, the purpose of a Hope education, or any education, is simply utilitarian. If a good job with good wages is desired, improve your odds by going to college Major in business, perhaps continue on to

earn an M B.A and soon the wife, two kids, house in the suburbs and air-conditioned office will follow Unfortunately (for simplicity and my sanity's sake) 1 happen to believe the purpose of education to be more-which is part of the reason we all chose a liberal arts college to begin with (at least that is what we want everybody to think.) Education, just as life, is about more than preparing to make money. Call it the Platonian or Classical approach, call it principle, call it irrational, stupid and a denial of the "real world." Whatever. But education should be a quest for "truth" as well a s for an understanding of one's self.

So I continue to study, continue to stay up to hours which would not please my mother (and not for social reasons, mind you), in the pursuit of understanding-of the world around me, of myself.

Every once in a while, 1 glance up and find myself staring down the barrel of the shotgun which is MayS, 1991 But 1 remain true to the ideal I make mental arrangements to

move west (somewhere beyond the Mississippi River) following graduation I'll get a small apartment and work eight to twelve hours per day on my first novel or collection of short stories If necessary, I'll take a job at a local newspaper to make enough just to get by. All the great writers have done it.

But reality dissipates the cloud on which I have been floating.

Reminders of bills for a car. insurance, food, shelter, the basic necessities. By November, college loans will begin to come due.

By December, rejection slips will have become a daily ritual.

Recent past classmates and alumni wander into my departments' offices, unemployed and in debt.

I ponder my options. I could (a) quick change my majors, giving into the pragmatic, find a job with a corporation and get ready for a thrilling desk job; (b) continue on to do graduate work, drive myself deeper into debt while marginally improving my marketability though perhaps merely delaying the inevitable (c) resign myself to the fact that McDonald's provides free uniforms (and, boy, aren't they nicej.

Which of these I'll choose will depend or my decision of "Why I Am Here Not just at Hope, but Here-existence type stuff.

Somehow this seems, in theory, all so simple But then again, theories don't pay the doctor's bill.

"The Mighty Lemon Drops" sing, "Where Do We Go From Heaven"" They must be further along in their development.

Pornography exploits men, women,children Dear Editors

career My initial reation is that we consider the absolute ignorance and downright sickness of this contention with regard to children in pornography. As :f they had a choice. Even if a child were to choose to be a subject o pom. do we feel that a child ha. the capacity to make such a decision intelligently 0 H e n c e , f o r us to d e r i v e pleasure from these materials is an injustice to the people in them, indirect as it may be. We will never know these people The only way we have chosen to relate to them is sexually. The p h i l o s o p h e r Kant w r o t e of treating our fellow human beings as ends in themselves, with no other value than the extent to which they arouse us. We can t continue to support this.

I am not for censorship. Art such as Mapplethorpes is a sens i t i v e and p a s s i o n a t e communication of human expression.

People have a right to such expression, but not in a way which damages others.

October 28 through November 2 is Pornography Awareness Week In recognition of this effort. and on behalf of Women's Issues Organization, I would like to share some feelings regarding the subject of pornography. To facilitate this, 111 give an admittedly functional definition of pornography Porn is periodicals, film and video, and telecommunications which depict females, males, or both, performing sexual acts; or display the aforementioned nude with the intention of sexual arousal.

I have viewed such materials in the past (how many can admit that they haven't?), and admit to having done so even in the past few months.

My position is that pornography is exploitative of mainly women but certainly also men, and children. Violence is common in pornography. For these reasons, I conclude pornography is an injustice, and should be opposed.

The argument for violence is self-evident. Sado-masochism is a common theme in a good deal of pom. What tends to be slippery is the accusation of exploitation.

A tired argument to which I have become accustomed is that the subjects of pornographic Sincerely, material have chosen that route Bob Anderle as a lucrative money-making Women's Issues Organization

Features Students volunteer for Higher Horizons, help local children

by Beth Pechta co-editor Higher Horizons, the local Big Brother-Big Sister program which is run from Mulder Cott a g e on H o p e ' s c a m p u s , celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. Currently, over 50 percent of the Big Brothers and Big Sisters are Hope students.

The program, which matches adult volunteers with local children aged five to 15, was established by a group of Hope psychology students and their professors. These students saw a need to mentor to children of single parent homes and of typically underprivileged economic situtations.

In 1974, the program was turned over to Child and Family Services of Michigan.

Marcia Bradsell, coordinator of the Higher Horizons program, said both the children and the adult volunteers benefit.

"For the children, I think it gives them a very special friend to spend time with, to talk with and to do activities they wouldn't normally do.

"For the volunteer," she continued, 44I think it gives the satisfaction of helping and working with a child in the Holland community."

"They expected you to put so much time into it - and you had to put so much time into it - that it just felt like you had to spend three hours with this person to get over your class requirement," she said.

You had to write a report on everything you did and what learning you saw take place.'

"I decided to get a Little Sister because, first of all, its my senior year and I've been thinking a lot about the future and myself. I thought it would be a good idea to think about someone else," she said.

"You know," she continued, "you're not the only person in the world and you can do a lot of good for other people and you don't even realize you have the power to."

Martinuzzi explained that her volunteer work as a big sister has made her feel better about herself and the future.

"Sometimes I'm worried that I'm going to end up in a career where I totally feel like I'm just going to this job day to day, but I don't really have any purpose in it." she explained.

"It's amazing how when you volunteer for something, you feel much more fulfilled in your life.

You feel like some of the things you do and that you worry about are so pointless compared to what you can do for everybody else."

'[YJou're not the only person in the world and y o u can do a lot of good for other people and you aon t even realize you have the power t c .

Those children who have already had a Big Brother or Sister a r e quickly matched with another volunteer.

Student pauses, walks through European countries

He worked various jobs in different countries. His work ranged from basic hotel labor to work on an apple f a r m where he met ten Polish girls to serving castleowners in a Scotland restaurant.

For May and J u n e Folkerts was in London working at a hotel.

With the money he saved in t h o s e m o n t h s , he t r a v e l e d through France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Netherlands and Belgium. His transportation was hitchhiking.

When he ran out of money, he got a job on an apple f a r m south of London in Kent for apple season in September and October.

This was probably his best European experience.

During this time he was staying with families through which he met the ten girls. After apple season he traveled to Scotland to work in Maim in the highlands as a waiter in a fancy restaurant. It was here that, . *orved the wealthy of Scotland among them,

It was here that he realized how much he has in the U.S. He had to wake up at 6 am just to get some bread, if he was lucky. In Poland he stayed in a university with a dirt floor and no cafeteria. Folkerts said "They can't even leave the country.

The only difference between (us and) them is that they were b o m there."

It was also in Poland that he experienced something disturbing as well. There was a statue of Lenin that was to be put in a city.

Arts Good acting keys 'Boyfriend'

by Hope Oscar staff writer "The Boyfriend" is an enter taininK, fairy tale like musical.

It is relaxing to sit back after a stressful day and watch the romantic storv unfold The play is sel during the 1920 s at a fishing school in F r a n c e Polly (Jessica Karrar, '93) a wealthy student at t.he school, fails in love ^ u h Tony 'Scot!

Polly does not mlorm her school chums of hei iwyfriend's low social status and keeps her friends wondering about the identity ol the m y s t r e r i o u s boyfriend.

Polly does not want a man who is interested in her just for her

money so she also lies to Tony by telling him that she is not a wealthy student but only a secretary at the school. The lies are revealed and misunderstandings occur However, the play ends predictably.

The acting is very good In fact. ;t better than some at small p r o f ^ s i o n a ! community theaters Kspenally impressive are the student* portraying older c h a r a c t e r s I was left wondering the true age of Jennifer Martin ( '92» who plays the headmistress of t h e s c h o o l a n d L a d y Brockhurst (Amy Gaipa. *92) who keeps a tight reign on her wandering husband The costumes and scenery add to the whole eff<x:l of "The Boyfriend." The scene in which

the school girls swim and j u m p between the shimmering waves of the w e a n is very creative.

The music in " T h e Boyfriend" is one of the only a r e a s that needs improvement The orchestra played a few wrong notes and perhaps some of the musicians could use a little m o r e practice.

Some of the singers were also weak.

"Throughout Mexico and parts of the United States, Mexicans gather around ancestors' g r a v e s and decorate them with flowers and items that symbolize t h e m , " Garcia continued.

"Then they talk about the individual buried in each plot, learning family history and celebrating the life they h a d .

Nykerk orators gear up for big night

by Scott A. Kaukonen news editor Despite some early hitches, preparation for the oration p o r tion of Nykerk has hit its stride as both sides n e a r " c r u n c h time."

While the competition itself is a week-and-a-half away, the speehes themselves m u s t be completed and submitted this week.

Both classes a r e attempting to overcome uncommon circumstances in preparation The Class of '93 was delayed in their preparation, when, for the o r a t o r ' s personal reasons, a change was m a d e in the orator following a few days of practice.

According to Susan Laidlaw ( '91), one of the Nykerk oration coaches, "We reopened auditions, advertised, told the song girls and did the s a m e things as before. We just lost three days of preparation. " To c o m p e n s a t e , t h e n e w orator, Leslie Schoon ( '93), was granted an extension for the due late for the written portion of her piece.

"Fifty percent of the oration is judged on just the written p a r t , " said Laidlaw. " T h e judges on the night of the competition do h a v e a copy in their h a n d s . " This makes memorization important.

According to Laidlaw, Schoon was fortunate that Fall Break did not interfere with practice this year, which has provided a couple of extra days of practice.

The orator for the Class of '94, B a r b a r a Woodruff, is faced with the obstacle that neither past orator f r o m the Class of '92 h a s returned to coach.

The '94 coaches. Sue Gasper ('92) a n d Michelle Brown ('92), both h a v e experience in Nykerk, though not in the oration portion. Laidlaw is the only one of the four Nykerk coaches to have been a Nykerk orator. T h e other '93 coach, Huong Nguyen ('91), also has experience in Nykerk, though not in the oration.

Student researches in Alaska

by Pam Schmidt staff writer

By September 11 most Hope students were quite comfortably settled in around campus. The reality of being on campus and hitting the books was back While this 'adjustment' period was complete for most students.

Senior Kelly Fletcher, of Portage, Michigan was just settling in.

Last spring Fletcher had made special arrangements with her professors to arrive on campus two weeks late Her reason? She would be in a remote part of Northern Alaska involved in a biological r e s e a r c h p r o g r a m with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

As a biology m a j o r Fletcher had learned about the job from the Murrays of the biology department. She was selected by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for one of six positions from around two hundred applica tions Fletcher was in Alaska June 19 through September 10. She began her summer in Fairbanks with a week-long training course in bear safety. From there she and her crew were flown to the Inu p i a t E s k i m o v i l l a g e of Katatovic, two hours away.

From there they were flown by helicopter about 45 miles to the location that would be their home for the next 3 months. Their field site was located right along Pocock Bay and 1 mile from the sea.

According to Fletcher, 4 4 the field camp was accessible only by helicopter or boat." They kept in contact with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, bi t the closest help was about 25 n inuies away had there been an er \ergency.

Fletcher workec with two other undergradua e students and a crew leader. 41 was very lucky that I had a very good crew to work with," said Fletcher.

The research program was called for in response to President Bush's push to allow for off-

shore oil exploration within the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge. The objective of the study Fletcher was involved in was to evaluate Pocock Bay for suitability as a portsite for the oil industry Their approach was to study two populations of birds that are known to inhabit the area Their research focused on a study of two species of bird, Old Squaws and Phalaupes, both Shoreline birds. They noted the numbers and behavior of the birds on shoreline surveys. Each survey required a 10 km. walk.

They were dropped off by boat 10 km away and then they walked back. On bad-weather days, if they were unable to use the boat, they walked 20 km. Another activity was invertebrate sampling to study what the birds fed on.

The last week and a half we worked in snow.'

--Kelly Fletcher This semester Fletcher is doing research with the Murrays on a seed dispersal project, which is related to their research in tropical forests in Costa Rica.

She is president of Tri-Beta and plays the alto in the college orchestra.

Fletcher said that when Congress set up the Alaskan wilderness areas, they especially designated a portion of the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge, which would provide a sort of government loophole to allow drilling of oil.

While Fletcher seemed personally opposed to offshore oil drilling in t h e region, as a U.S. Fish and Wildlife employee it was necessary to go along with the U.S. Department of Interior 4 'Drilling for oil there is only a 1 in 5 chance of finding oil,M said Fletcher.

44 If they drilled for oil, it could be hazardous to the caribou population," said Fletcher. The land involved in the study is im-

portant for caribou. It serves as calving grounds for them.

Living in such a remote area gave the crew an opportunity for many close encounters with wildlife. Some of the animals Fletcher saw were muskox, polar bears, grizzlies, arctic foxes, snowy owls, and caribou herds. She managed to snap twelve rolls of film over the summer.

The research crew never went * .j any where without a shotgun in case of a close encounter with a bear Fletcher said that on one occasion a grizzley bear wandered close to their c a m p and that everyone went to bed that night with a shotgun.

On another occasion Fletcher and another crew member were doing a shoreline survey and walked within 100 feet of a polar bear and her cub without realizing it until they had passed them Kelly Fletcher ('91) spent the summer In Alaska The weather was really unworking on a research orogram. p r Photo predictable... it could range between 30 and 65 degrees F, and one night we went down to 18 degrees F and that was really cold.

Sports Men's soccer team loses lead, ties with Albion •

by Kris Olenik assitant news editor Hope's men's soccer team had to settle for a 3-3 tie against Albion despite being ahead through most of the game and a previous win against this team.

Hope had 24 shots on goal, compared to Albion's 13. Goalkeeper Aric Dershem ('92), had 8 saves for Hope, while Albion's Dave Krivan had 12. Hope dominated much of the game, but couldn't hold onto their lead in the second half.

The first goal of the game came at about the 6 minute mark from Hope halfback Pat Dalton (91). He scored on a direct kick just outside the penalty box with a window shot out of the reach of Albion's goalkeeper. Then, not more than 30 seconds later, Albion put the pressure on and Hope was called for trippir; in the box David Cooper tOv)k the penalty kick for Albion putting it

past a diving Dershem.

Both teams had ample scoring opportunities in the remainder of the first half. Hope was able to convert on two of those opportunities as they came together and dominated more of the play.

At the 22 minute mark, Nick Palomaki ('93) crossed the ball in front of the goal mouth, past the keeper, to Scott Quoss ('91) who knocked it in for Hope's second goal.

Keeping their m o n e n t u m , Hope almost immediately pushed the ball up the field again.

This time Dalton put the ball though to Darren Bennett ('93) who hammered in the third goal.

Hope continued to dominate the remaining 20 minutes of the half, but the score remained 3-1.

In the second half, Hope started to let down a little giving Albion more opportunities and failing to convert on their own.

Then about 65 minutes into the game Albion took a shot, Der-

shem slipped in the muddy goal but was still able to get a hand on the ball Albion's Chris Cline was there to knock in the rebound making the score 3-2.

A l b i o n c o n t i n u e d to put pressure on periodically until they scored again in the 85th minute. John Pope received a pass on the run putting him one on one with the keeper. Dershem came out but Pope knocked it over him to tie up the game Hope got a little more intense after that and had some good chances to score but were unable to connect Two 15 m i n u t e o v e r t i m e periods followed. Both teams had several opportunities to score but couldn't find the net. At the end of 120 minutes of play the score remained 3-3.

Hope has two games left this season, both at home. Wednessday they play Calvin at 4 p.m. and Saiurday they play Alma at 1:30p.m.

Sweeper finds place on women's soccer team

by Rochelle Anderson sports editor Not all of Hope's soccer players are old pro's this year.

Tammy Lind('92) hadn't so much as kick the ball around until she c a m e to Hope.

Her first year resident assistant and captain of the team this year, Lynn Schopp('91), encouraged her to attend the soccer club meeting. Lind's expectations did not quite match her R.A s.

"I just thought-soccer club-we'll go out and kick the ball around and it'll be fun. a great way to keep in shape." commented Lind, 44I came home and she handed me a schedule and said 'Here's who we play and we begin practice on Monday ' " Lind went out for the team and is currently the sweeper for the team. This is her secop.iyearon defense. She has many exciting moments to remember, like holding top ranked Kalamazoo to 1-0 in overtime and holding Calvin to 1-0, but these are not the most memorable.

Students won't let Coors be a sponsor BOULDER, Colo. (CPS) - The University of Colorado student government voted Sept. 25 to oppose CU regents' decision to rename a campus sports arena the Coors Events Center.

The school's Board of Regents had agreed to rename the building after the Coors Foundation, largely funded by the conservative Coors family that controls the Coors Beer company.

The foundation donated $5 million to construct a campus fieldhouse.

Claiming they had not been consulted about the move, student politicians approved a resolution to bar Coors from sponsoring any student events.

places Gretchen Sligh finished 6th with a time of 2u:39, and was f o l l o w e d by S o n j a Langlois(7th-20:46), Cheryl Becker(8th-21:08), Kristen Kingma(9th-21:16) and Sara Arnsman(llth-22:ll).

Coach Mark Northuis felt the team ran well and did not over do it and although he thought the runners seemed to run a little tired, he felt that most everyone ran well and ran w i t h i n themselves.

When asked to comment on the upcoming Calvin-Alma meet he said, "We are picked to finish 3rd, but anyone can come out on top. If we run up to potential, we can take it. It depends on how we approach it mentally."

Today's cross country meet at Alma will be a vital obstacle for any of the three teams involved to will the league, and will give some team a slight advantage going into the MIAA Conference Meet which will be held here, at the Holland Country Club, on Saturday, N o v e m b e r 3rd at 1100 a.m.
