A passerby spotted a male on the roof of the Alpha G a m m a Phi cottage, and did his civic duty in informing Public Safety of a possible break-in in progress.

Public Safety arrived on the scene prepared to stop the sneak in the act, only to find a male Hope student who had no intentions of forcing entry. They caught him redhanded — reading poetry through the screen to a f e m a l e student. Both were consenting. No charges were filed.

Public Safety officers handled the complaint against the third floor Kollen Hall residents, who w e r e read their rights and taken downtown.

Action awaits the formal authorization from the Ottawa County

prosecutor before criminal charges can be drawn against the students.

A small amount of marijuana and paraphernalia was confiscated from the room following the arrests.

T h i s is the s e c o n d m a r i j u a n a complaint reported to Public Safety this year. A female student was arraigned Oct. 24 for marijuana possession in the Kraker Apartments.

"It's not the first complaint of this sort, s o we d o n ' t know it i t ' s a trend," said Director of Public Relations Tom Renner.

A WORD FROM THE EDITOR...

Education a howl at Halloween U. W o u l d n ' t it be great if every day at H o p e College w a s Halloween? Imagine how sweet life would be.

Going to class " l o o k i n g s c a r y " would be a socially acceptable p h e n o m e n o n . Feel like a corpse after pulling another all-nighter? No problem. At Halloween U., the more bloodshot your eyes, the better. Toss the m o u s s e and gel in the trash. Hair standing on end is the trend.

Better yet, c h a n g e y o u r look daily. G o with the " G r e g Brady" Monday, the "Cyndi Lauper" Tuesday, the "Artist Formerly Known as Prince" on Wednesday.

Furthermore, Halloween on a daily basis would aid the career search by allowing students to try out different roles. No need to g o through a traumatic mid-semester m a j o r change; at Halloween U. you'll have tried all the professions y o u ' v e ever dreamed o f — o n e month as a nurse, another as a cowboy, the third as a Star Trek space voyager.

Classes, however, would still remain practical. Instead of taking a general Political Science course, Halloween U. would require time spent studying the eye of Newt, the Warlock P a c k w o o d and G o r e - y p l a t f o r m s . A s an e c o n o m i c s m a j o r , y o u ' d plan a c o u r s e of action to m a x i m i z e the a m o u n t of candy obtained during each neighborhood s w e e p , then figure the market value for a m i n i - M o u n d s . Pre-med students would learn flawless blood d r a w s f r o m b l o o d - s u c k i n g v a m p experts while artists w o u l d learn s c u l p t u r e t e c h n i q u e in P u m p k i n Design 101.

You say you are u n h a p p y with your mid-term grades?

Cast a spell on your professors and haunt their houses.

T h e n head out to the O a k Hollow and bay at the m o o n to reduce stress.

Life at Halloween U., though close to the perfection, still has its glitches. It would be awfully hard to fit a Ulock around a broomstick.

T h e r e are few things in life better loved by journalists than bringing home a hot story. Talking s h o p is a close second.

We here at The Anchor are taking a week off from publication to do a little of both.

The Anchor staff will make its annual pilgrimage to the Associated Collegiate Press Convention Nov. 1-5 held this year in Washington D.C. We'll have a chance to sit in on writing seminars, newspaper design

and p h o t o g r a p h y b r e a k - o u t sessions, and demonstrations of n e w media technology. In addition, w e are submitting the newspaper to be judged in the All-American contest.

Editors f r o m professional publications around the nation will critique The Anchor and give us f e e d b a c k for improving its quality.

All this is nectar of the g o d s to newspaper people.

Not to worry. We'll be back in action publishing Nov. 15.

Look for beefy coverage of the

Multicultural,

gender isses valuable

Dear Editor, Hope College's educational purpose, as a liberal arts institution, is to offer a variety of courses with the goal of developing intellectual discipline and fellowship in inquiry.

T h e college offers co-curricular activities and cultural events which proved rich opportunities for learning and personal development. Although diverse and educational resources are available to each student, we feel as though emphasis is often placed on cumulative grade point average rather than individual development.

A s the C o m m i t t e e to Change the C O R E Curriculum w o r k s on plans to c h a n g e the b a s i c e d u c a t i o n a l structure of this institution, w e ask that multicultural and gender issues be accepted as principal elements of a l i b e r a l a r t s e d u c a t i o n . If

In liberal arts

multicultural and gender issues are not included as basic c o m p o n e n t s of a Hope College education, w e feel that this institution will have missed a critical opportunity to enc o u r a g e d e v e l o p m e n t and a c c e p tance of changing philosophies and world views. We live in a diverse and changing world; Hope College must reflect and prepare individuals for this w o r l d .

We believe that the current proposal to r e q u i r e each s t u d e n t to complete t w o multicultural and/or gender issues courses is a step in the right direction. We also encourage the college to consider e x p a n d ing the social sciences and the history, literature, and philosophy requirements to include more cultures and both genders.

We want Hope College to begin living up to its claims of being a liberal arts institution now. H o p e Col-

lege has a responsibility to prepare its students to live in a world which will not reflect the current population of this institution; the world in w h i c h w e live d e m a n d s respect, k n o w l e d g e of cultural diversity and g e n d e r issues, and s e n s i t i v i t y in developing solutions. If the college fails to e x p a n d its multicultural and gender issues objectives today, w e f e a r that s t u d e n t s will e n t e r the world of tomorrow unprepared.

Sincerely, Amy Eshleman ('96), Andrea H a r t m a n ('96), A n n e Lucas ('96), M a r y Lucas ('98), S a r a h L u b b e r s (*97), J e n P i h l a j a ( ' 9 7 ) , O m a r Postigo ('95), Rosi Rodriguez ('96), Marcie Bu jack ('96), Fatin M u h a w i ('97), Kelly J a n s e n ('97), J e n n i f e r Bechtel ( , 97), L a u r a Myers ('98)

Reader disgruntled with A n c h o r coverage Dear Editor, T h i s letter is in response to the October 18 edition of The Anchor.

I would like to express my disappointment, first and foremost. In the years that I have been at Hope College, I have continually watched The Anchor digress f r o m year to year. It's very disheartening for me to walk past a stack of Anchors, and just k e e p w a l k i n g k n o w i n g that picking u p an Anchor would just be a disappointment.

I would like to discuss my disapp o i n t m e n t in the articles of The Anchor, particularly the October 18 edition, the h o m e c o m i n g edition.

T h e most noticeable thing on the front page, I believe, is a huge picture of Colin Connaire on the shoulders of t w o half naked fools. I ' m glad so much of the picture, and s u b n o t e , w e r e d e d i c a t e d to t h e Queen, Mary Boelkins. And what about this article? T h e only line d e d i c a t e d to M a r y w a s " M a r y Boelkins ( ' 9 6 ) took the crown as this year's queen." I do not know Mary personally, so I would like to express to her my congratulations and apologize to her (for her snubbing by Jodi). Are w e m a k i n g a statement at Hope that women are not as important? If so, I do not wish tp be associated with Hope. Maybe it is a popularity thing, I do not know Colin personally either, and I

congratulate him also. Or maybe the fact is, it was a f e m a l e author w h o felt Colin to be m o r e i m p o r t a n t .

Whatever the case may be, I do not agree with it! " P o p e on a R o p e " by Jim Riekse is my next example of the incompetence The Anchor has been portraying. I'd first like to ask Jim, "did you just write this article to o f f e n d or get a rise out of p e o p l e ? " If that w a s the case, which I believe to be the evident truth, then you have no right on The Anchor staff. I realize that this c o l u m n is an opinion column, but when did opinion b e c o m e s l a n d e r ? I am o f f e n d e d and disgusted by Jim and his articfe! Let's take a look at what he has to say: " N e w Yorkers managed to make a circus out of his (Pope) visit, their e m b a r r a s s i n g behavior detracting f r o m the P o p e ' s p i o u s m o t i v e s . " How dare you? Were you there first hand? Do you actually know what goes on or what it takes to live in New York? You c a n ' t lake s o m e thing you may have seen on T.V. and hold it to be the w h o l e truth!

Having grown up in New York, I can tell you that you have no right taking your Midwest ideals and beliefs and put them on New York! "Yeah I got the Pope here. Good seats. Buy t w o get a P o p e C o m m e m o r a t i v e watch. T h a t ' s right. John Paul going f a s t . " W h o are y o u q u o t i n g here? Or are you just using y o u r

imagination of what people might be s a y in g if they w e r e anything like y o u r opinion of us. Next, " ( N e w Yorkers) really aren't there to grab a piece of the P o p e ' s w i s d o m but just there to see the man...but they ( N e w Y o r k e r s ) pay his ideas no h e e d . " T h i s is a g e n e r a l i z a t i o n , again, that I believe is just your attitude t o w a r d s N e w York. M a y b e you should have d o n e a little research b e f o r e you tried to o f f e n d ! I am disappointed, offended, and disg u s t e d , that s o m e o n e so narrowminded m a n a g e d to find a spot on The Anchor staff! If J i m - h a d anv idea what it takes to live in N e w York City, he might be a little bit more open to other lifestyles. I feel that Jim, m a k i n g a public spectacle with the article, is no better than the people he slandered and generalized a b o u t ! " T h o s e w h o only see the Pope as a celebrity can settle for the lunch box." I certainly hope you have yours, Jim, for you have not expressed any ideal of the Pope's in your c o l u m n , only what you believed to have h a p p e n e d in New York.

I realize that this letter will, more than likely, not c h a n g e anything.

But, maybe you will all take a look, next time, and think b e f o r e you write!

Sincerely, Disappointed

For Steiner, the experience, too, was haunting. Six years ago Steiner, her sister, mother and father were in a roll over accident while riding in a truck without seatbelts. Steiner, her sister and mother survived, her father w a s killed instantly. " B e f o r e it (the s i m u l a t i o n ) my m o m asked m e if I thought I could handle it," Steiner said.

FOOTBALL f r o m I I yards away from having a 1,000 yard season.

Riding the bus to Holland this weekend will be the least productive o f f e n s e in the M I A A , and the worst defense, as 3 - 5 Olivet finishes its s e a s o n o n t h e r o a d a g a i n s t Hope.Taking into account Olivet's poor rush defense, it is probable that G r a h a m will gain the y a r d a g e needed to go over 1,000 yards for the s e a s o n . H o p e crippled Olivet last year by the score of 41-16. " W e are really g o i n g to try to win," Kreps said. " W e ' r e g o i n g to have a good w e e k of practice and all our g u y s are fired u p on e n d i n g the season with a w i n . But, Olivet will be all fired u p to beat us because they don't want to lose their last g a m e of the season either. Their running game is very poor. If w e can stop their run, then w e can stop their passing."

It is the end of the season, and the coaching staff and players are already t h i n k i n g of next year, as recruiting b e c o m e s important. According to Kreps, the losing record d o e s not mean that all the g o o d players will stay away f r o m Hope.

" A lot of g u y s might c o m e here in the h o p e s that they can get some early playing time or that they can be part of the rebuilding of a once stable program," said Kreps. "It is important not to get down and out on the team, and w e all must slay positive."

T h e D u t c h m e n will need good freshmen to c o m e in, as the entire starting offensive line, with the exc e p t i o n of l e f t t a c k l e Ron Friel ( ' 9 7 ) , will g r a d u a t e , a l o n g with Jesse Crotty ( ' 9 6 ) and D o u g G l e ( ' 9 6 ) . F o u r d e f e n d e r s will a l s o leave. " W e are pretty positive about our situation for next year," Kreps said. "The jayvee squad looks good, and there are s o m e good offensive linemen b a c k i n g u p our g u y s on varsity already. Defensively, we only lose a few players."

To add to the optimism f o r next year. Randy A m e s ( ' 9 7 ) m a d e the switch back to d e f e n s e this w e e k at the f r e e safely position and made it show. Bryan Boodl ( ' 9 8 ) also had an i m p r e s s i v e day, as he had 10 tackiest

H O R N from 8 arrangement by D o n Haddad based on S t r a u s s ' s Merry Pranks. T h i s was a interesting c h a n g e f r o m the rest of the program and added s o m e variety and fun, because, even as Thom Working, conductor explained:"horn players aren't always serious."

T h e third small group to p e r f o r m was the Wagner Group, which c o n sisted of Hope C o l l e g e s t u d e n t s .

Included in their portion of the concert w a s Bach'sJesu, Meine Freude A n d a n t e and A l l e g r o p e r f o r m e d with only a f e w rough spots, and Reflection by Hyde.

T h i s piece demonstrated the smooth, mellow sound of the horn and w a s a nice selection f o r the group. Runaround w a s their final piece by Manny A l b a m . For this

piece pianist Andy Lorenz, bassist Matthew Fouls and d r u m m e r Steve Dumont joined the horns for a big band style w o r k .

Finally all of the g r o u p s joined together for three more selections: Hansel und Greiel Prelude-Chorale

by E n g e l b e r t H u m p e r d i n c k a r ranged by Jeffry Kirschen; a fulls o u n d i n g Cantos IV A l l e l u j a by Scheidt, transcribed by Reynolds, and lastly a very emotional perform a n c e of Manzoni Requiem Rex T r e m e n d a e and Sanctus by Verdi and arranged by Leigh Martinet.

T h e group, under the direction of Working, and assisted by W. Tucker Supplee, w a s formed five years ago and has s i n c e g r o w n f r o m just a handfull of players to more than 35 horns.

W O O D S from 8 Woods.

"The s h o w is entirely run by stud e n t s . T h a t is truly an a m a z i n g feat," La Feber said.

T h e d y n a m i c s of the s h o w have proven much more complex than those of the past according to Robins. " T h i s is a more complex s h o w than others have been in the past, in terms of the amount of work that has gone into it and the size and the

magnitude of it," Robins said. "The music is far more d e m a n d i n g . It requires precision in h a r m o n y and rhythms. T h e r a n g e will take the performers f r o m their absolute high to their absolute low. It is a challenging, beautiful piece and it gives a lot for the actor to do. Every cast m e m b e r plays an important role.
