' Take back the night march protests abuse k, by Erika Brubaker staff writer U A crowd of about fifty people gathered at v the gazebo at Centennial Park. Their purpose: > to lake back the night on Tuesday, Nov. 29. » The group was comprised of an almost equal * mix of Hope students and community members, mostly female, with about ten men.

The purpose of the march was "to protest % crimes against women and to support survi* vors of those crimes." The march was spon4 % sored by the Center for Women in Transition, -p tne National Organization for Women, Grand Valley State University, and the Women's ' Issues Organization at Hope College.

• Senator William Van Regenmorter of the 23rd Senate district spoke for about twenty ^minutes on the subject of domestic abuse and w the things that he has done to help the victims i of domestic violence.

Van Regenmorter distributed pamphlets on "Constitutional Rights and the Crime f JTf Victim's Rights Act." The Crime Victim's I Rights Act went into effect in 1985, and its ^ purpose is to protect the victims of crimes.

According to Van Regenmorter, "It has now * become a model across the country." » According to the act, the officer investigating a case must inform the victim of the - crime of his or her rights as a victim. Initially, tcrape was considered a felony. However, in . 1985, domestic assaults were considered * rrtisderneanors. In 1988, assault was considered a serious misdemeanor," and was in-

cluded along with such crimes as enticing a child to drink or drunk driving in seriousness of offense.

According to current statistics, one out of three women will become a victim of rape. A girl who is twelve this year has a four out of five chance that she will be raped.

"One of the rights that we try to emphasize is the confidentiality of the victim." As of 1985, the victim's name is not available on a police report. The Senator is hoping to pass a

Sergeant DeVries of the Holland Police Department, of the community service unit, also spoke. His unit follows up on complaints of domestic dispute, works on juvenile cases (including child abuse and sexual abuse), and works with the schools, "teaching kids how to protect themselves."

According to DeVries, the "spouse abuse law has been an excellent tool for us... we have the authority, information and belief and

'Domestic violence is a sad issue and it's sad that w e have to be here tonight... I don't know how we're going to stop the problem except through demonstrations like this one and follow-up conversations.'

—Jessie Dalman bill within the next two weeks that will "go further to keep records of the victim even more out of view."

The Senator is currently working on Bills 144 and 145. 144 is a "base bill" that "deals with immediate arrest. It will directly affect domestic assault." In some domestic assault cases, there are protective measures taken to keep the perpetrator away from home. This bill will allow: • a judge to give protective orders • the investigating officer to check up on that information • the immediate arrest of the offender, instead of having to wait for what could be days until all evidence has been confirmed.

Pumkin contest held Horizons Ericka Lyszak ('93) and her "little sister" Kristen show off their winning

we can make the arrest right away... lately, every weekend we make an arrest for domestic violence."

State Representative Jessie Dalman said that "I am standing here with you, symbolizing our need as women and children to be protected from violence."

"Domestic violence is a sad issue and it's sad that we have to be here tonight... I don't know how we're going to stop the problem except through demonstrations like this one and follow-up conversations."

According to Dalman, the House of Representatives is currently deliberating a bill that will "let you [the victim] use a pseudonym. That's very important if you wish to

testify against the perpetrator... It's important to step forward and speak out against the issue."

Congressman Fred Upton was unable to attend the vigil, but he sent Margaret Kleis as spokesperson. Kleis read a letter from the congressman: "No society should allow domestic violence to continue."

A little closer to home, attorney Jane VanderVeld from Holland quoted Eleanor Roosevelt: "We must do things we think wc cannot do." VanderVeld specializes in cases of domestic abuse, and she thanked both Senator Van Regenmorter and Representative Dalman for their work in this area. "Now I can put the person in jail... I don't think fortyeight hours is enough of a cooling-off period/' Finally, Steven Todd, who is "in chargc of 911," said that "I'm really excited, but only that Jessie and Senator Van Regenmorter are here, but that you all are here... these things really do happen... I hope you find lime lo^ become involved and intercede with this particular problem."

Two poems were read, both by Denise DeYoung, one on the subject of sexual abuse and the other on domestic violence.

Finally, there was a march through the downtown area, down 12th to Columbia, to 8th and then back to Centennial Park. The participants chanted "We refuse to be abused" as they marched. Banners proclaimed "Stop the violence," "There's a foolproof way to kill a woman and get off easy, marry her first," and "Peace on Earth begins at home."

Counselors available for victims of sexual harassment want to talk about it but there arc two other options. The informal procedure is to help the person confront the harasser while the formal Thirteen counselors on Hope's campus procedure involves a panel of judges and have been trained to deal with victims of could, at the outside, mean the expulsion of sexual harassment. the harasser."

WTHS DJs fired for breaking rules

by Jill Flanagan n e w s editor Two WTHS DJs have had their show cancelled for allegedly drinking before going on the air.

The original complaint against Dave Engbers C93) and Dave Douma ('92) also

'DJs come and go; it is just a matter of circumstances/ —Chris Allman ('92) included a charge of using profanity on the air. This charge was later dropped.

Station Manager Chris Allman f 92) said, "Everyone at THS signs a Code of Conduct which outlines rules and punishments and agrees to abide by FCC, Hope and our rules.

We received a complaint from the community which said they used language illegal by the FCC and 1 confronted them."

Said Allman, "I won't tolerate anything

of that nature as manager."

At the same time, another charge was raised by an executive committee member who claimed to have smelled alcohol while the two DJs were on the air. According to Allman, no alcohol was present but the two had been drinking.

Following station rules. Program Manager Tim Grotenhuis ('92) fired them. Said Grotenhuis, "Bobo [Allman] knows what he's doing. I assume my general manager knows what he's doing so I fired them."

Said Engbers, "The next day [after our show] I was told our show was cancelled.

They thought we were inebriated on the air: crazy. I thought we were set up."

Engbers and Douma appealed the decision and a committee of two executive committee members and two random THS members reinvestigated the decision.

According to Allman, they were found innocent on the swearing charge. "It was a misunderstanding about the profanity but there was not enough evidence to overturn the second charge."

Both Engbers and Douma and the accuser testified at the appeal.

Said Allman, "It was just a business decision. DJs come and go; it is just a matter of circumstances."

Said Engbers, "I think it was just that our show was too radical and too liberal for Hope and they wanted to pull it. They hardly dealt with the second offense at all."

Said Douma," 1 don't think the process of appeals was fair. There were no unbiased individuals on the committee. The person who makes the final decision shouldn't know us so that he's unbiased."

All w e really want is to get our show back/ —Dave Douma ('92) The pair is now investigating the possibility of a second appeal. Said Engbers, "We would like our fans support through this."

"All we really want is to get our show back," Douma added.

"The Department of English selected Thomas Werge for this address because he is both a distinguished academic and loyal alum of Hope, and a former student of Clarence DeGraft's," said Dr. William Reynolds, professor of English and chairperson of the department at Hope.

"For this lecture we thought it was important to invite not only somebody who would present a fine lecture, but somebody who would tic in with Clarence and what he stood for," Reynolds said.

Thomas Werge completed his masters and doctorate at Cornell and joined Notre Dame faculty in 1967. He has been the recipient of awards for his teaching ability.

Werge has served as chairperson of the English department at Notre Dame and is currently editor of "Religion and Literature."

Julie Steincr. Coordinator of the University of Michigan's SexuaJ Assault Prevention and Awareness Center, views this as an inconsistency. Said Steiner, "There are two conflicting things a b o u t . this issue: people say they don't know what sexual harassment is but most have ideas, t h e key thing about it is that it is not that mysterious."

Steiner believes that this understanding is fundamental to a solution but there are other tfrings which also need to be looked into.

Said Steiner. "What we don't have an understanding about is why it's ted, what the impact is in a college or university setting and how we should respond."

Response needs to be based on the fact that sexual harassment is associated with violent crime, according to Sterner, "It is a continuum and wc need to confront all of these issues in the whole society," she said.

Every fifteen seconds a woman is beaten b y her spouse or partner. Twenty to 30 percent of studentsexperiencesexual harassment from faculty. Statistics like these are the facts that should be faced

according to Steiner.

Said Steiner, "It is a lot easier for us, both as women who are targets ^ men who are a part of the system, to deny the existence of a problem than to say 'wow, that could happen to me' or 'that has happened to me,' " Steiner also offered practical solutions.

before going on the air. Originally there was a second charge concerning the use of language prohibited by the FCC. The DJs were found guilty of the first charge but the second charge was dropped.

According to the station General Manager, Chris "Bobo" Allman, the decision to fire the two students was a business decision.

Arguably that's the question which has arisen with WTHS. It has become a business, and not a college radio stadon. Many DJs have been alienated from the station in the name of business.

Without diverging too much from the issue, one only has to point towards WTHS's newly implemented programmed shows; shows that, for the most pan, force many DJs to play, not what they want, but rather programmed music.

Letters to the editors Professor clarifies editorial claims Dear Editors, I would not think it appropriate under normal circumstances, for a faculty person to write a letter to the editor for The anchor. It is a student forum, and should remain one.

However, your editorial of October 30 misrepresents the current discussion of Nykerk and the F^ill, and I think that misrepresentation needs correction. The Campus Life Board cannot make decisions like "dictator-style," because of the nature of the Board. The Board has an equal number of faculty and student representatives. These students are the elected representatives of the student body.

Furthermore, it is false that the Board has not sought student input.

Last Spring, the Exlra-Curricular Activities Committee (which has !ȣ& student members than faculty

representatives) spent considerable time talking to students -- both those who want Nykerk and the Pull to stay the same and those who think that change would be an improvement. The ECAC recommended creating a committee to consider the specific issues involved, a committee which, if created by the Campus Life Board, would again have many student members. In addition, since this issue was brought to the Board last year by students who advocated change, I have repeatedly asked students what they think. Vm sure the other Board members have done so as well.

I appreciate the chance the clarify the claims made by your editorial.

Dear Editors.

clutter. Our house is packed full of decorations and a big trees.

I don't want an empty apartment to come home to every night. I want a wreath on the door and Christmas towels inthe kitchen. I guess what I want is a home.

Somehow a full apartment ,one with tons of clutter, will help replace the family I won't be seeing. I figure I have to start now if 1 am going tohave enough stuff to achieve that.

Next year Jim and I will have to decide where to go for Christmas.

We'll both have limited time and definately limited funds.

I don't like the idea of having lo chose between going to see his parents or going to see mine. How do we say we'll spend thisChristmas with his parents and then next Christmas with mine? We won't be

seeing that much of our families anyway.

This year we solved that problem by making arraingements to spend Christmas with our own families and then see each other after Christmas. It won't be that easy next year. But at least we get to see each other for a few days.

We've talked about just spending all the holidays staying home alone together and not going any place, but somehow I don't think that would be a popular choice with either of our families. I guess we'll have to cross that bridge in a year or so.

Meanwhile, here I am stocking up on ornaments, decorations and strands of lights. I can't wait until the after-Christmas sales because then I'll be able to get lots of things at half their pre-Christmas price. I may not be Dutch but I'm still broke.

I just have to remember that everything I buy this winter I have to move to Boston next summer!!

ment would be noticed by someone in the church.

I was always expected to attend everychurchfunction. Thisincluded Sunday school on Sunday morning, the morning service of church, Sunday evening service, Wednesday night service and every single other conceivable church function.

(The worst part is that we would arrive at least a half an hour early, and not leave until everyone was gone, which usually meant an extra 45 minutes to an hour. For a kid, this was an eternity.)

Outside of church, the same level ofbehavior was expected. Not only from the people in the church, but from teachers and friends who knew 1 was a PK. In class at school, I was closely watched as if I dared even blink an eye at the wrong lime, the teacher was on my case.

Even if I was doing something other kids did quite frequently without getting in trouble, I would be punished or reprimanded.

I remember one time I was on a field trip with my class, and my mother was serving as a chaperon.

We were taking a train ride and the class was as rowdy as could be expected of a kindergarten class, but

not little Stevie Kaukonen, he was sitting across from his mother behaving like a little angel.

My mother noticed that the back of the seats could be turned into a serving tray and wanting to make her son knowledgeable of such a wonderful invention, showed him how to pull out his tray.

The moment I unlatched the gadget to pull down my tray, my teacher, who was sitting kitty-comer behind me, saw what I was doing and yelled at me for doing such a horrible deed.

That's right, I pulled down my tray like my mother told me to, and 1 got reprimanded for it. And since that day I dare not touch those servings trays.

Third, I was to always think like an angel. I never went to movies or dances. I was not allowed to listen lo rock music. And anything else that had the appearance of being even slightly evil, was prohilv ited, even though 99% of the other kids were allowed to do it.

Instead the expectation was that anything I did or thought about was to be good and wholesome, and any slight deviance from that would not be tolerated.

So what should I or anyone do

when faced with expectations forced upon us by our cultures, many of which seem to be unfairly placed.

Often there is not much you t a n do, at least not easily. Laura Meyer can't change her sex, and I can't change the fact that I'm a PK. Everybody has some sort of expectations or stereotyping placed upon them by sqciety and this goes beyond just the gender issue. I am expected to act like a PK. Laura Meyer is expected to act like a woman. And we both are treated as such.

People need to realize everyone - whether male or female, black or white, PK or not a PK - is their own individual with his or her own personality, and should not judge them on the basis of their sex, race, religion, or position in life.

Now this column is not meant to be a ventilation of my frustration of being a PK nor is it a spoof off of Laura Meyers' column. But rather it was to show that expectations are found in many areas other than gender issues, and people need to be aware of not stereotyping just women, but any person, and in the process forcing undue expectations upon them for being who they are even in the case o f P K s .

Besides the basic moral issues here, let's also get the facts straight.

First of all, let's remember that Africans did not come on boats voluntarily to the "land of equality." Remember we were hunted down, shackled and dragged across the ocean to a life of slavery and imprisonment. Had it been up to us we would have left you to rot in your own self-love and isolation. Secondly, also keep in mind that the people who come from a Latin American heritage, who you are so readily willing to pack on boats and send back home, were here long before you were. Let's remember that Spanish boats got here first, and let's not forget those people who were here before anyone else, or dare I bring up Native Americans.

Holland offers different lifestyle for student b y Erica B r u b a k e r staff writer Oleg Polakov read Masha Mazurik's interview in The anchor and felt that the American students at Hope might have the wrong impression of the Soviet students-that they were all famous.

Polakov is a computer science and math major at Moscow State University. Here at Hope he is taking computer science, marketing, dance, and an English class.

"It's a nice combination. Nothing for credits. Everything for fun. If I want these classes to be for credits, my status has to be a real student at Hope College. Credits are pass/ fail. It's prestige to be here."

He said, "I'm not like her. I do not model.

I do not know any international teams." andexrrot f n d n t i k mmioh'tr

«

"I like these classes, that's why I decided to take them. My favorite probably is dance."

At Moscow State, aside from the computer science and math courses that he takes for his major, he took English, economics, and physical education. "But they were just for credits. Most of my classes were computer science and math."

"There is nothing to do here so it's better to study."

In the Soviet Union, Polakov has travelled to the Baltic Republics and the Black Sea. He's been to the north as well. "Not like Siberia-that's too far north, and uncivilized."

In Eastern Europe, he has been to Poland, Czechoslovakia, and East Germany.

Polakov "can compare everything but America is America-so unique. Holland is Holland." As a native of Moscow, the smallcity atmosphere of Holland is quite a change.

"Hope is a nice place to study-it's different. It's not MIT. I can't compare because I don't have the knowledge of how they are, but it'sreally different from Eastern Europe."

Polakov spent half a day in New York City. "I have no opinion but that's what I like, like New York and Chicago. I like small cities, just to stop by for a while. I don't want to be insulting, just to express my opinions."

On Chicago, Polakov's response was "Splendid." He, like so many of the other Soviet students who are currently at Hope, "prefer[s] the ground to being in the Sears Tower."

Holland, however, produces a very different reaction: "This place is not really big and 1 have to get used to the different lifestyle.

Not the American lifestyle, but of the small city. Everything is predictable: there is no challenge. I'm amazed at how tidy it i s without crime. There are no tensions that are between groups in a larger population."

Polakov is an only child who lived at home while attending Moscow State. "I spent two weeks in Durfee, 1 decided to move to a cottage to get the feeling of it." He likes the dorms, but likes the cottage more.

Phelps food is "okay." ICs close to what he eats at home. "At home, we eat less Mexican food. The Mexican food is all right."

What he likes most about the United Stales is "just the feeling of being here, it means I like the people-just the whole atmosphere. Potential freedom."

When asked if he would ever consider living in the U.S., he said that he doesn't "like to foresee because it usually doesn't happen like that. For a non-American to live here is kind of a hard time because interrelations are so different and how people treat each other is so different from the European standards.

People are more self-conscious here.

Many people think that's the only way to survive here. It's not like that in Europe.

Privacy is an American thing. Sometimes it's hard. 1 like it because I like this concept of privacy."

The social activities are "okay for Holland. I'm sure Holland can't have things like Chicago. It would be abnormal. I like the social life. It gives you the opportunity to 7 study."

Over fall break, "I was studying." He hopes to spend his Thanksgiving in Chicago.

I like studying but not all the time."

For the Christmas holidays, Polakov plans to go to California, to visit family and friends.

As far as religion goes, "I like it. I don't belong toany of them but Hike thisatmosphere of religious background and support."

There should have been only one

Impressively filling out of the last movie, Highlander 2 answered many questions left from the original. For those of you who are familiar with Highlander, you know that there were some unanswered questions from the last movie. For instance, where did these immortals come from, and why did they want this "prize" to be the only immortal remaining? Why could there be only one? These questions and more were answered plausibly, and I awaited the awesome plot lo follow.

antly. The movie's plot ranged from interesting to campy. Time after time, it teased the audience with a series of interesting events and then crashed any interest by pulling out some sort of foolish transaction or campy villain. Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery are thankfully not to blame for any of this, as their acting and swordplay were as exemplary as ever, and gave the film a class it really didn't deserve. The film's screenplay, editing, directing, and the over-budgeted special effects were to blame more than the acting.

Overall, this film is the ying-yang of films, with its even mixture of bad and good.

It's nothing more than mediocre, and if you want to see it, you should wait for the video to go down to $.69 at Meijers.

Berenger and Hoskins team up to uncover forgotten past

by Bret Bussey & Maria Van Baren A foggy New Year's Eve, a drive in the California mountains, and a devastating car crash set the stage for Shattered (R). Dan Merrick (Todd Berenger, Betrayed, Platoon) has to start life over again. He's a successful architect, with a beautiful, caring wife, Judith (Greta Scacchi, Presumed Innocent), who nurses him back to health. The problem is, he has no idea where it all came from, since he also has amnesia. He can function professionally, drive a car, act as a normal human being, but has no personal memories whatsoever, with the exception of mystifying flashbacks.

What starts out as a normal recovery turns into something else when Merrick finds that his wife had been having an affair before his accident. In fact, so had he, even though he couldn't remember with whom. Merrick then begins a journey to find out what exactly he isn't being told about his past life, and to uncover the mystery behind his accident and his flashbacks.

This film is an excellent suspense thriller, and it rivals movies like Masquerade with its plot twists.

The serious tone of the movie is lightened

by Gus Klein (Bob Hoskins, Mermaids), who helps Merrick uncover his past. Klein is a jolly, well-meaning pet shop owner who occasionally does private investigative work to pay his rent. He becomes Merrick's only true ally in the film, as he and Merrick uncover more and more about the past.

The film, while using a great deal of effective symbolism through Merrick's flashbacks, unfortunately goes overboard and includes a repeating scene of a man-shaped object smashing through a plate of glass, with no particular relevance lo anything in the film other than possibly foreshadowing the "shattering" return of Merrick's memory.

The only character in the film that was completely likeable was, of course, the downto-earth Klein. Everyone else, including Merrick, are realistic but s o m e t i m e s unappealingmembersofthecremede lacreme.

As a whole, this movie deserves a 'B+'.

Its mystery and thrills combine with some excellent cinematography and acting to form a movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

To take a date to, it's worth full price, but if you want to see it by yourself, see the matinee or rent the video when it comes out.

HOLLY MOORE, A special Happy 21st Birthday to a very special daughter! See you Saturday! Love, Mom and Dad

'Today and angel; tomorrow worms, and the grave; and the days after only lines in chalk," said poet Jean Valentine reading a poem to a suspicious gathering of ghouls, goblins, and pirates in the Depree Art Center Gallery.

The reading was on Halloween.

Valentine read from one of her published works. Home Deep Blue, and several poems yet to be published. A graduate of Radcliffe College, she has been the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and awards from The National Endowment for the Arts, the Bunting Institute and the Rockefeller Foundation.

Jane Bach, who studied Valentine's po-

ems. has written, ' T h e speaker of the poems searches for her own wholeness and meaning, and for ways of joining her life to the lives of others, present and past. Fulfillment is like the simple filling of a pitcher-with neither effort nor passion, but with trust and persistance. It is as if the central consciousness in the poems has reached a peacful equilibrium."

For those who didn't understand the previous quote-her poems are deep, as in resting on the bottom of the continental shelf.

Few people felt the full effect of her reading simply because of the immense amount of concentration and understanding needed to do so.

She wasn' t an entertainer; she was a poet.

Yet she still exuded an earthy spiritual persona.

The reading, in refemce to the audience as a whole, was hard to follow, but for those who could, it proved exceptional.

Football team loses "Wooden Shoes game

by Cal Hodgson sports editor Hope's oldest football rivalry was continued Saturday against Kalamazoo.

The Hope-Kalamazoo game has been called the "Wooden Shoe Game" since 1931, with the winning team's coach taking home a pair of hand carved Dutch wooden shoes.

It was also a big game for Hope seniors as they were playing the last home contest of their careers. With the last Kalamazoo win in Holland com ing in 1967, the seniors looked to have a happy farewell in front of their parents.

Kalamazoo stung the Dutch early with its ground attack. Leading the way for the Hornets was Walter Miller( , 92) who exploded up the middle for 26 yards on one play in the first series.

Miller finished with 117 yards rushing for the game.

K-Zoo finished off their 70 yard drive with a 18 yard touchdown pass. Hope was able to swat away the extra point kick however, holding the score to 6-0.

The Dutch also had success running the ball with Peter Stuursma( , 93) gaining 75 yaixls and Scott Frederick( , 92) notching 72. Quarterback Stefan Swartzmiller( , 92) also ran for some key first downs.

However, Hope could not put points on the board any of the four times they were inside the 20 yard line. The half ended with

the score still 6-0 for Kalamazoo.

Tight-end Tim VerMeulenC93) said, "We moved the ball well from 20 to 20, but at the 20 yard line we stalled out."

At the beginning of the second half, the Hornets almost handed the game to Hope.

Unfortunately, the Dutch didn't have their hands out.

Kalamazoo, punting from near their goal line, kicked the ball directly into the back of a Homet lineman. This gave Hope excellent field position and a chance to get back into the game.

The Dutch were unable to capitalize however, and on fourth down had to try a 25 yard field goal. A miscue between the center and the holder caused the ball to be dropped and lei t Hope empty handed as another scoring opportunity slipped away.

K-Zoo would not waste this swing of momentum. They took the ball 85 yards down the field and quarterback Chris Berkimer( , 94) pushed the ball in for a touchdown from one yard out on fourth down.

Berkimer then completed a pass to Miller for the two point conversion increasing the Hornets lead to 14-0.

Hope cross country second overall

by Dai Wessman staff writer The Hope College men's and women;s cross country teams participated in the second of two MIAA "Jamboree" meets. The results of these two meets involving all the MIAA schools determined the conference standings prior to the upcoming MIAA conference championship meet.

After last Thursday's competition, both the men';s and women's teams are in second place overall, behind league-leading Calvin College.

The men's team scores from the second jamboree meet were Calvin 19, Hope 60, Albion 87, Alma 117, Kalamazoo 121, Adrian 153, and Olivet 209. The women's team scores were Calvin 27, Alma 38, Hope 65, Albion 116, and Kalamazoo 130.

The top seven Dutchmen were Aaron Bruininks ('94) 25:46, Doug Burchett ('92) 26:37. Steve Johnson C94) 26:52, ScottPatton (94) 27:29, Steve Kaukenon ('92) 27:29,Todd Whitwam ('95) 27:34, and Cody Inglis ('93) 27:51. Bruininks finished second overall, only nine seconds behind Thad Kamehm of Cal vin.

Other Hope finishers were Jason Elmore ('93), John MacLaren('95), Kent Bristol ('92), and Brian Calandra ('95).

The top seven Lady Dutch were Katie

Conlen ('92) 18:04, Amy Leatherman ('95) 19:33, AliciaMendenhall('94) 19:38,Theresa Foster ('94) 20:21, and Cheryl Becker ('92) 20:42. Conlen finished first overall,establishing a personal best time and barely missing a new course record. Other Hope finishers were Sonja Langlois ('94), Cara Luchies ('94), Dana Thompson ('95), Gretchen Sligh ('93), Gretchen Hirschy ('95), and Jeanne Kuhajek ('95). On Thursday, the Lady Dutch were missing frontrunner Marcia Vandersall ('93), who was still recovering from a bout with mononucleosis.

When asked about their performances.

Cross Country Coach Mark Northuis commented that both the men and women raced tired.

He explained that the runners worked through the second jamboree meet, saving their all-important taper for the MIAA championship meet. Northuis also stated that the racing conditions were very wet, muddy, and consequently slow.

The members of the cross country teams must now focus on the conference championship meet, which will be held at the Holland Country Club on Saturday, November 9, at 11:00 a.m. According to northuis, the Lady Dutch will have a chance to win the MIAA title, and he foresees the possibility of three Dutchmen earning all-conference honors.

But once again, a would be Hope scoring drive was squelched, this time by a thunderous 15 yard sack. Hope's next drive was thwarted by a 10 yard sack as well, resulting in a lost fumble.

Hope seemed to be able to move the ball

anywhere but into the end-zone, but eventually they ran out of chances and out of time. A last ditch effort ended in an interception, dropping Hope's record to 2-2 in the M I A A and 5-3 overall. Hope's last game will be Saturday at Olivet.

Women's soccer captain leads the whole pack

by Cal Hodgson sports editor Lynn Schopp( , 92) would like to be soccer coach someday. That will require a lot of responsibility and leadership experience.

She's ready.

For the last three years, Schopp has been the captain of the Hope Women's soccer team, and for the last four she has been an R. A.

also coaches select soccer teams from Carmel, Indiana which travel throughout the Midwest playing other teams.

For the last three years, Schopp has also worked in data entry for the Indiana Golf Association.

On the side, Schopp plays for Carmel's club soccer team which placed third in the state of Indiana last summer.

Schopp appreciates the opportunity to have a liberal arts education.

Schopp is a fifth year senior. She joined the soccer team in its inaugural season three years ago and has been first team All-MIAA for the last two years. This year will be no different.

"I have loved Hope College," said Schopp. "My classes have broadened my horizons. I'm a different person since I've been here."

Schopp was one of the top scorers for the Lady Dutch this season even though she plays a defensive position.

All of Schopp's leadership roles are not without their tough moments either. Being soccer captain for instance:

Hope finished its season Saturday with a 2-1 loss to Calvin, ending with a 10-3-2 overall and 8-3-1 MIAA record.

When asked about the close of her soccer career, Schopp said, "I hate to see it end. It's been fun and it's been worth it.

"This is the best year I've had," she added. "I improved a lot over the summer.

This has been the team's best year too."

Well, obviously, captaining the soccer team and being an R.A. leaves Schopp with a lot of free time, so she is also one of the student leaders of Students for Christ. She leads a Bible study as well.

Most readers are probably thinking, "Yeah, but I bet she takes crip courses."

Oh contraire, mon frere. Schopp is earning a biology/classics double major. She is also getting her secondary education teaching certificate and will be doing her student teaching next semester.

Schopp hopes to leach high school biology and coach soccer, preferably in the Westem Michigan area.

With her hectic schedule, one would think that Schopp would hangout with friends and relax during the summer.

Yes and no.

She hangs out with friends, but Schopp

Sometimes it's hard when 1 know what coach is feeling, and I can see his pain,4)ut I also see how the team feels, and the two are very different. That's when it's difficult."

Schopp certainly has the makings of a leader, and she is already a leader in the making. ^

Men's basketball hopes for big year

by Chris Collins guest writer TheHopeCollegemen'sbasketballteam willenterthe 1991-92 season once again with loads of talent and high expectations. Last year, the Flying Dutchmen compiled an outstanding 24-2 record and won the MIAA title withaperfectl2-0conferencemark.However, Hope lost in the NCAA 1st round to Calvin.

Coach Glenn VanWieren, who is entering his 14th year as head basketball coach at Hope, said that "a couple ofour goals this year are to win the league title again as well as making a better showing for ourselves in the NCAA tournament." VanWieren sees Hope and Calvin as strong co-favorites to win the league this year with Albion running a solid third.

Hope will have to overcome the loss of pointguardEricElliot('9l)iftheyaretoreach these goals. Elliot was the league MVP last

year as well as being named to several AllAmerican teams. "We'll need several players to pick up their production and leadership if we ^ toovercome the lossof Elliot. All my players seem to have improved their games during the off-season and Vm very confident iWsteamcanbeatleastasgoodaslastyeafs," says VanWieren. "Our schedule is much more difficult this year, so our record might not be 88 good, but we will be better prepared for the NCAA tournament" Hope College returns seven players who ^ considerable action on last year's team, Wade Gugino('92), a 6'9" center, leads the returnees.

Gugino will likely battle for league MVP honors this season with Calvin's Steve Honderd. He can also be expected to lead the league in dunks.

able playing time at power forward. VerHuist, who was injured most of last year, started as a sophomore and averaged over 10 points a contest. Messecar, who started last year, is a tremendous athlete and defensive player. He averaged close to 7 points a game last year.

Jeff DeMasse('93) and Eric Haas( , 92) should battle for playing time at the point guard spot vacated by Elliot. DeMasse was one of the most improved players on the team last year, finishing third on the team in assists as Elliot's back-up.

Other returning letterman include Steve Hendrickson('93) and Kevin Westrate('93).

Entering their first year of varsity action are Troy Peuler('94), J J . Markee('94), Matt Waite('94), and Steve Pietenpol('94).

The Flying Dutchmen open play November 8 at the Dow Center against the Swedish National team. Game time is set for 8:00.

1991-92 Hope College Men's Basketball Schedule NCAA Division III

Flying Dutch take on Swedish b-ball team HOLLAND-Hope College basketball fans will have an opportunity to get an early look at the season's prospects when the Flying Dutchmen host the Plannja Club of Sweden on Friday at 8 p.m. in the Dow Center.

Admission to the exhibition will be $4.

Because of limited seating in the Dow Center, the public ticket sale will not be held until Thursday after season ticket holders have had an opportunity to acquire tickets.

The Plannja Club will be playing seven games between Nov. 4-12 in Michigan, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Other Michigan opponents include Wayne State, Ferris State and Grand Valley Stale. The team, coached by Charles Barton, has players ranging in age from 19 lo 31.

The exhibition is in preparation for the season opener which will be a tournament Nov. 22-23 at Whealon College in Illinois. The Flying Dutchmen are ranked fifth in the nation in a pre-season poll of NCAA Division III teams.

Glenn Van Wieren, the fourth winningesl active NCA Division III basketball coach, begins his 15th season at the helm of the F l y i n g D u t c h m e n . The d e f e n d i n g champions of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA), Hope had its best season in 1990-91 with a 24-2 record.

Colly CarisonC92) returns as captain for the Dutch at a guard-forward position. He is probably the most-well-rounded player in the MIAA, finishing in the top ten last year in both rebounding and assists while still finding time to score nearly 11 points a game. Carlson was 2nd team all-MIAA last year.

Jon JoffeC92) and Tom Halbert ('92) split time last year at the other guard-forward position, with Joffe starting the majority of the games. Joffe's season is in doubt as of now because of a back injury, but he would be counted upon as one of Hope's primary perimeter threats. Halbert quickly became a fan favorite in his first year at Hope for his electrifying dunks. He is perhaps the most explosive leaper ever to wear the orange and blue. Both Joffe and Halbert averaged just over 8 points a game last year.

Doug M e s s e c a r ( ' 9 3 ) and Bart VerHuist('92) will likely both see consider-
