After he rejected this plea bargain, he went to court and was sentenced to 15 to 30 years.

The other case that the Supreme C o u r t will hear involves Galin E. Frye, who had broken the law by driving without a license. His lawyer did not inform him that the Missouri prosecutors had offered h i m a plea bargain that would allow him to spend only 90 days in prison for a misdemeanor. This offer expired without Frye's knowledge and he went to court. They sentenced him to three years in prison.

Cautionary advice: D o not drive in Missouri without a license.

They take it very seriously.

These cases have m a d e it to the Supreme C o u r t because they are dealing with an undefined issue that c o m e s into play in t h e majority of court cases. According to the N e w York Times, "last year, 97 percent of convictions in federal courts were the result of guilty pleas. In 2006, the last year for which data was available, the corresponding percentage in state courts was 94."

Generally, if the defendant can prove that their lawyer was incompetent, they are "entitled to new trials." The lawyer's c o m p e tence, however, is not evaluated in the context of plea bargaining.

The Sixth A m e n d m e n t en-

The two cases going to t h e Sup r e m e Court, however, address a slightly different problem. In

their cases, the bad legal advice caused t h e m to reject a favorable plea bargain. There are no systems in place to allow them to correct for following this bad advice. Prosecutors for the two cases are arguing that the Sixth A m e n d m e n t is m e a n t to ensure a fair trial, not entitle anyone to

a plea bargain. Currently, there is nothing in place to ensure that prosecutors offer them, to prevent t h e m f r o m withdrawing t h e m if and after they are accepted, or to guarantee that the judge agree to the terms, even if both prosecutor and defendant agree. There may never

be laws to regulate those things, either separately or individually.

The prosecutors go on to argue that the Sixth A m e n d m e n t is in place to make sure that only the guilty are punished. In cases such as Cooper's and Frye's, the defendants in question actually are guilty. The moral question before the Supreme C o u r t is w h e t h e r or not it is unjust that a guilty person be unable to obtain a lighter sentencing.

The prosecutors conceded that in the two cases to be evaluated by the Supreme Court, the defense lawyers failed to meet the m i n i m u m requirements for "professional and ethical conduct." They argue, however, that there is no way to remedy that.

O n e federal judge in Cooper's case pressed for the prosecutors to "offer him the initial deal or release him." The state appeals court in Frye's case "reversed his conviction but said it did not have t h e power to order t h e state to reduce the charges against him." This returns him to square one, with a choice between going to trial or "pleading guilty without the benefit of a plea deal." His lawyers are currently pushing for him to be offered the original plea bargain again, which his first lawyer had neglected to mention to him.

Jenny Roberts, a law professor at American University, told the N e w York Times, "If we are going to have a criminal justice system where the majority of convictions result f r o m a plea bargain, the courts have to apply constitutional regulation to the area... W e have a constitutional standard. It says a lawyer has to be effective. That would have no meaning at all if the court steps out of the area entirely."

Essentially, this is a question of obligation: how far do we have to lawfully go in order to ensure people, including confessed criminals, a fair trail?

Chinese citizens protest after drunken policeman kills five bystanders Annellese Goetz W O R L D CO-EDITOR

The province of Henan in eastern China has been experiencing violent protests. The protests began last week after a policeman, believed to be driving d r u n k , hit two lamp posts, which killed five people as they fell. According to China's official news agency, Xinhua, the policeman was arrested after t h e accident.

Local news stations and eye witness reported that a crowd prevented other police forces from removing the bodies f r o m the scene. They damaged cars in the process, flipping hearses and a police van.

According to the BBC, protests in China are becoming m o r e and m o r e c o m m o n . The Zheijiang province in eastern China experienced unrest after taxes were elevated.

Putting an end to Greek [Life] mythology jChristoff Visscher GUEST WRITER

At Hope College, approximately 11 percent of the student body participates in the 15 sororities and fraternities that make up Greek Life. Despite this small minority, Greek Life seems to represent itself as much larger group through their involvement with c a m p u s activities, strong social scene and recognizable sweatshirts, Unfortunately, some students give the Greeks a bad rep.

As far as stereotypes go, they all seem to be consistent with the ideas of exclusivity and partying.

"Many think that Greek Life is what is depicted in movies like "Animal House" and "American Pie." Greeks are depicted as degenerates that do nothing for the school and only like to party," said Emersonian fraternity president Shaun Groetsma '12.

Alpha G a m m a Phi sorority president Erika Coombs '12 said, People think that the people involved in it are academic slackers, stuck-up, cliquey and drink

excessive amounts of alcohol."

Various presidents identified similar statements as the main typecasts for Greek Life members.

A new event is the Greek Life charity banquet started by the Interfraternity Council last year.

"I was the service chair last year and was in charge of the banquet. After getting the faculty behind us and working with the Community Action House of Holland, we were able to raise $1,500 for the Action House," said IPC president Douglas Lockhart.

From 'Firework' to 'Grenade/ pop music tops the Billboard charts Chris Russ COEDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Fourteen songs have m a d e it to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 charts so far in 2011 f r o m Katy Perry's "Firework," which occupied the top of the charts in both 2010 and 2011, to Rihanna's "We Found Love," which just recently became the n u m b e r o n e hit in the United States.

The success of these 14 songs (see below), d e m o n s t r a t e dance music's almost complete takeover of p o p in this country.

Formerly popular genres like rock and hip-hop are almost entirely absent f r o m the top of the charts. The only entirely hip-hop song is "Black and Yellow" by Wiz Khalifa, a song driven by its incredibly simple sing-song chorus. "Give M e Everything" by Pitbull would not be considered rap by any self-respecting fan of t h e genre and Kanye West's verse on "E.T." is probably the worst collection of lyrics he's ever released to the public.

However, that song was released in between his opus, "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy," and his recent and outstanding collaboration record with Jay-Z, "Watch the Throne," so 1 think the m a n deserves a critical pass.

The only thing in this list recorded by a "rock band" is M a r o o n 5 s "Moves Like lagger," which in no way sounds like something The Rolling Stones would ever produce.

This is not to say that 2011 was a bad year for either rock (defining rock as basically any guitar-based music) or hip-hop.

Bon Iver's self-titled s o p h o m o r e

BKUMO

record is perfectly immersive, as is James Blake's similarly selftitled release. Any year in which T V on the Radio releases a record is a good year for music, not to mention the fact that there was also a new Radiohead album this past summer.

H i p - h o p was remarkable this year. The O d d Future collective, regardless of the quality of their music, were at least entertaining. Drake, Rick Ross, Chris Brown's "Look at M e

IX

ADELE 21 Now" and Lil Wayne's "6 Foot 7 Foot" dominated rap radio.

"Watch the Throne" was an instant legendary record featuring Jay-Z rapping at a level not consistently heard f r o m him since 2003's "The Black Album." O n the u n d e r g r o u n d front. Big K.R.I.T. and Kendrick Lamar released untouchable albums while Danny Brown and ASAP Rocky are bringing back gangster rap in a weird way.

O n the top of the 2011 pop music pile, there is really only one outlier. Adele had two singles that reached the top of the Billboard charts, and o n e of them, "Rolling in t h e Deep,"

(k

was on basically every radio station at one time or another. Both that song and her other big hit, "Someone Like You," were throwbacks to a classic soul sound. Her album "21" is not just a m o d e r n caricature of soul music, it is an authentic and extraordinary example of the genre.

So besides two tracks by Adele and one by Wiz Khalifa, every song that has reached n u m b e r one this year is an electro-influenced club song.

The dom i nant genre that has emerged is an amalgamation of European dance music, m o d e r n American R&B, disco and classic pop ballads. The key ingredient here is t h e incessant and repetitive bassheavy s o u n d that has been taken f r o m techno and house music.

It's also clear that people seem to like pop star collaborations, with six of the t o p tracks having at least one guest performer.

With her latest single, "The O n e That Got Away" currentlyshooting

up the charts. Perry might be the first artist in the 53-year history of Billboard charts to have six songs f r o m the same album ("Teenage Dream") to reach the top spot on the charts. The only other artist approaching Perry's level of untouchability right now is Rihanna, w h o just set the record for the shortest a m o u n t of time between a solo artist's first and tenth number-one single with "We Found Love."

But can these 14 songs really characterize America's musical palate? In the age of Pandora, Last.fm and Indie Music, it is easier than ever to discover new and unique music. If you stay out of clubs and remain in control of your radio, it's not even that difficult to avoid hearing these songs (I'm pretty sure my dad hasn't heard a single one of them).

While these are obviously popular songs, they should not be viewed as culturally significant as the n u m b e r - o n e hits of past decades. Which in my opinion is a good thing.

Wilco has had a long and varied career. Forming in 1994 out of the ashes of alt-country band Uncle Tupelo, the band has largely been an outlet for frontman Jeff Tweedy's creativity.

Though early albums had a country/folk tinge in the vein of Tweedy's earlier band, they took a much more experimental turn with 2004's "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot," an album that was almost universally praised.

Since then Wilco's output has become increasingly stale and predictable, with Tweedy losing much of the creativity that early albums possessed.

But the band's newest album "The Whole Love" is a fantastic return to form. The first album released on their own record label, the album zig-zags between spacey freakouts, catchy guitar riffs and earlyera folk twang.

Standout tracks include the first single " B o m Alone," album opener "Art of Almost," and ballad "Rising Red Lung."

It seems that with "Whole Love" Tweedy is determined to show us that he still has a couple surprises left in him, and he's not quite through yet.

j don't think it's mandatory for me to write a ^ c o i u m n a b o u t Greek Life at some point this year, but it seems customary. I've been immersed in sorority activity lately, too, and 1 think it might be time to explain myself and my out-of-character decision to join my organization.

There's a certain point in college when your friends will look at you differently. They know enough about your h o m e t o w n , your boyfriend, your favorite music or your food allergies, and the only thing keeping you together is whatever b o n d you've managed to make. I can't stand looking into the eyes of s o m e o n e who doesn't care what I'm saying. So I decided not to look at anyone for a while.

W h e n spring rush rolled around in 2011, I casually showed up and accepted my bid. It wasn't a decision, it wasn't something I carefully considered; I just went through the motions and ended up here, planning out this year's formal.

The only part that really terrified me - and maybe this is just from my psychology and communication classes about groupthink and crowd mentality - was losing myself in the process of joining an organization with such a prevailing identity, like a sorority. That didn't happen, not even close. 1 felt so independent, and at s o m e points, 1 felt even stronger than before in my identity.

Drawing Conclusions Kill 'em with kindness Kate Schrampfer Columnist I was sitting in class last week when it h a p p e n e d . It was a beautiful day outside: the sun was lighting the aut u m n trees on fire, and the sky was as blue as the eyes of t h e boy I'm in love with. My professor, for w h o m I do have a lot of respect, was finished teaching and was going over the assignment for the next class period. At this point, my professor m a d e a joke at which most of the class laughed. It was a casual, off-handed c o m m e n t that, although it dealt with a fairly controversial topic, would not typically be called racist, o r sexist, or intolerant and t h e r o o m echoed with the chuckles of the rest of the class.

I didn't have a chance to see if there was anyone else who wasn't laughing, or if anyone else was staring at their hands the way I was staring at mine. 1 didn't say anything, but my t h o u g h t s were tumbling around my head. I suppose my professor figured everyone shared that position f r o m which the joke was made, o r maybe didn't care if there were people present w h o differed.

But there was no respect in the way my professor voiced

Don't get m e wrong - some parts of rush were distasteful and insufferable, like squirming around in t h e rotunda of Martha Miller trying to make small talk with 200 other girls. Some parts were interesting, though, and I had the time to sit through both of them.

The only reason you're probably still reading this is to figure out which sorority I joined (and I respect your impatience with my personal testimony). Instead of naming it, I'll just describe it. I t s a group of college-aged girls w h o are very close. We have business meetings every week where we plan fundraisers and service events, talk about upcoming parties or our accomplishments in school and catch up on each others' lives.

A n d when it comes to drinking, I think Greek Life scared me away f r o m it. I never feel pressured to drink, and everyone respects that I'd rather not go to parties sometimes (or most times). In fact, having a personal connection with people I see at parties makes them m o r e empathetic to my decisions. It's kind of relieving.

Probably I haven't hit the nail on the head with my little soapbox column yet, but there might not actually be a nail to hit in this situation. There's no reason to say that people shouldn't judge Greek Life; it's h u m a n nature to judge. It's unreasonable to get preachy on a subject like this. I just think it makes sense to join if that's what you or your r o o m m a t e or your classmate wants to do, and perhaps you should understand someone's standpoint in any large scale decision before passing judgment.

In case you're still wondering, Caitlin is an Alpha Gamma Phi. And before yon ask, "what are they called?" she wants you to know: it's just "Alpha Gamma Phi"

that opinion, and I was h u r t by the mockery this m a d e of my convictions.

Problem. We're supposed to be a community. It's part of our identity as Christians... one of the key parts, actually.

We're m a d e in the image of a Triune God: a three-in-one G o d who is a c o m m u n i t y all his own, and who is also in c o m m u n i t y with us. As a people created with this likeness, failing to h o n o r the earthly relationships that imitate this divine relationship is a serious thing.

I'm not saying that I'm innocent of these mistakes: I know I strain my own relationships over and over, and I am extremely grateful for the loving people in my life w h o are willing to s m o o t h over these wrinkles, both large and t h e small. But I think there's something in this interaction between my professor, my class and me that really calls us out - all of us.

If you talk to the students, faculty or administrators at Hope, w h e t h e r they are liberal or conservative or somewhere in between, they would probably tell you that they are the o p e n - m i n d e d o n e s and those w h o oppose t h e m are intolerant. They s o m e t i m e s forget that people are multifaceted and they simply can't put a label on every facet. And they sometimes forget t o distinguish t h e people of their c o m m u n i t y from the opinions they hold or the lifestyles they live. O u r identities, first and foremost, are as beloved children of God. So we are brothers and sisters in Christ.

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor: Excellent to read Claire Call's article on green / sustainability efforts n o w on campus.

It has now been m o r e than 5 years ago that I initiated W E S T (Windmill on Every Steeple Team) in Holland to gain awareness of just w h a t could be addressed in the city around sustainability and to work hard toward no coal burning expansion through our locally o w n e d utility, HBPW. At early sessions of W E S T were several H o p e College faculty / staff m e m b e r s . I believe W E S T "pushed" H o p e College to move much m o r e aggressively around environmental / sustainability opportunities and needs.

I was a student at Oberlin College 196973. In my f r e s h m a n year, O C was a founding c a m p u s of Earth Day. Environmental / sustainability issues have been on my agenda since my college education. I joined H e r m a n Miller in 1981 since it was noted, even then 30 years ago, as a corporation leading t h e way into sustainability. I c a m e to Holland in 1987

Kate wants to make sure everyone understands that what she is advocating here is simply Christian love, and she thanks you for yours. Hope you have a beautiful day!

â&#x20AC;˘ NYKERK, f r o m page 1 a world where Dance M a r a thon lasted for 24 days and Dykstra was one giant cluster, freshmen went back to class in order to cover up for the disappearing students.

"If it wasn't for Nykerk play, I wouldn't love H o p e as much as I do now," Natalie Hiser ('15) said.

Working alongside of the freshmen and s o p h o m o r e girls were their moralers. W h e t h e r they left inspirational p o e m s , candy or posters; the morale boys worked hard to make sure their girls were ready and excited to p e r f o r m on Saturday night.

"I first joined when I heard stories about h o w great Nykerk really was from older guys in

as VP, C o r p o r a t e Real Estate and pulled together the team to design / build the H M I G r e e n House n o w 15 years ago. And, t h e architect I engaged here was hired, with my r e c o m m e n d a tion, by O C to design the incredible Environmental Studies H u m a n M a c h i n e building that has just passed its 10 year anniversary!!

I H o p e your c a m p u s can educate West Michigan regarding just what's possible when efficiency, conservation and alternative sourcing is applied to current and future needs.

The C o m m u n i t y Sustainability C o m m i t t e e in Holland, in place now for 2 Va years, is t h e continuation of WEST. The H o p e College C a m p u s Sustainability Advisory C o m m i t t e e is an outgrowth of WEST. So pleased H o p e College has joined into the very i m p o r t a n t sustainability undertakings; terrific additional educational experience for students now o n campus!!

Ah, my son graduated f r o m H o p e in 2004!!

A family. A community.

W e need to treat each other with respect. That doesn't mean we need to accept everything other people do and say. Obviously, we all have our own unique opinions, and there are certain things that simply are right or wrong, no matter what we'd like to think. But we can disagree w i t h o u t t h e h u r t if we r e m e m b e r that our primary identity is not in how we were brought up, or what our m a j o r is, o r even what our sexuality is.

We're a people of G o d and a people of Hope. W e can respect each other and still disagree.

But now... back to the story that started this whole thing. You're probably wondering what exactly my professor said that c a m e across as so h u r t f u l to me. I'm going to let you keep wondering, because that's really not t h e f o i n t , and I'd rather not start a huge argument about an irrelevant issue here. O n e of my favorite authors, Robin McKinley, pointed out that "...you will lose nothing in anyone's eyes for kindness, and something, 1 think, you will gain." A n d if you're looking to convince s o m e o n e to see things your way, you have a much better chance if you speak your views respectfully. Be convicted, by all means... but be kind, too.

As the night drew to a close, the judges deliberated, and the freshmen c a m e out on top, as odd year was able to pull out a victory.

"It was like a family that is extremely supportive and constantly doted gifts on each other. W h a t could be better?"

Brandon Verna ('15) said.

W h e t h e r being a playboy, singing a medley, or speaking about their experiences, the participants and audience at this year's Nykerk p e r f o r m a n c e had their eyes opened.

Sciencism has an explanation for m a n y questions, except the really big one: h o w did something (the universe) come out of nothing?

At this point it is i m p o r t a n t to recognize t h e limits of science. Science by itself offers n o consolation in a bleak world, no satisfaction to the longings of the heart, no meaning, no reward, n o ideals, no punishment.

The sciences are poor at explaining t h e h u m a n condition. They can offer no satisfactory explanation of the 'selfish gene! or t h e existence of evil. The materialistic determinism of science cannot explain the h u m a n will.

Science can answer a host of useful questions, but it cannot answer t h e most imp o r t a n t questions. For example, "what defines a good/moral/ethical life? Or why are we here?" A n d "why must I die?" Or "what is the ordained shape of marriage?"

Misplaced faith in science has given m o d e r n m a n the illusion of control over the world and our destiny. Yet this is a fallacy, as we still face death and we c a n n o t control our sinful nature. We make a mess of our world and our relationships.

Dispensing with G o d and placing our faith in science seems to free us up to be ourselves, but instead it substitutes a truly sinister tyrant: m e .

Instead of mankind viewed through the clear lens of dependence/revelation we have mankind viewed through the distorted prism of autonomy/experience.

In this context, Christianity's explanation of life's big questions remains compelling.

The Christian doctrine of sin hints at the presence of evil in t h e world. Relationship with our maker gives t h e clue t o life's meaning. A n d divine love shows us how we

universe.

Further, Christians can affirm t h e positive role of science as o n e of the scholarly disciplines, a legitimate f o r m of h u m a n enquiry that n o t only frequendy affirms t h e order in t h e creator's handiwork, but also yields m a n y practical benefits that assist people's lives such as electricity and medicine.

By the same time token, religion and science are asking different questions.

For its part, t h e Bible does n o t claim to give an explanation o n all matters of natural (or social) science. It is simply silent about the boiling point of water or q u a n t u m mechanics, or the laws of supply and demand, for instance.

Equally, we should not imagine science can b e the final authority o n matters of life and death, morality and virtue, origins and destinies, or righteousness and love.

Science gets into trouble when it attempts to trespass o n the territory of the other â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when it becomes an "ism." W h e n science becomes "sciencism," an authority that p u r p o r t s to replace even religion, it is not science that is the root of various kinds of evil, but the ideological step of placing our faith in science.

Overconfident from advances in scientific knowledge that have explained many natural p h e n o m e n a , dogmatic sciencism w a n t s to posit that mankind can unravel even life's great mysteries. to

a n d

Value-laden sciencism (as distinct from value-free science per se) adopts a h u m a n ist stance and attempts to omit G o d f r o m the equation.

Militant sciencism is overly reductionist: it distills the whole of reality to a materialist explanation and lacks Christianity's grand view of the h u m a n being and of God's

There is a m y t h floating around that m o d ern science is reliably objective while religion is hopelessly subjective.

But Christianity says religion is no less reliable than science. Indeed, t h e Bible presents itself as trustworthy objective truth.

Christianity is and should be pro-science.

Although science and religion are often depicted at war with each other, they not necessarily mutually incompatible, and in fact have m u c h in c o m m o n . Religious t r u t h underpins natural science because repeatable . science is only possible given w e live in an ordered cosmos. Like religion, science relies o n the creator G o d who is' there, the G o d w h o habitually maintains order in t h e
