Congress Hears About Parking Congress also r e c e i v e d letters from Director of P u b l i c Safety Ray Gutknecht and Vice PresN dent of F i n a n c e William Anderson regarding the parking problem on c a m p u s . T h e s e letters were in response to a letter approved by Congress at an earlier meeting. The letter, d r a f t e d by representative Dirk Weeldreyer, expressed Congress' concern about the lack of parking s p a c e s

Anderson's letter dealt primarily with the great financial burden that purchasing more parking lots would p l a c e on the College. He s t a t e d that the r a i l r o a d w a s a s k i n g an unreasonable price for the property the College h a s been looking at to purchase for this purpose.

E v e n if the price of a parking permit w e r e raised to $100, it would take 10 y e a r s before the property would be paid for, he reported. He stated his e x p e c t a tion that m o s t students would rather put up with the current inc o n v e n i e n c e than to pay s u c h prices. Following is the text of the letter sent to the students by Gutknecht:

By S t e v e Underwood Although they w e r e topped at the top, Dutch depth w a s too much for A l m a or a n y o n e e l s e at the fifth annual MIAA Championships at the Holland Country Club last Saturday. By nabbing five of the top nine places, Hope continued their first-ever l e a g u e - r a c e with 27 points, ousting the d e f e n d i n g champion Scots by 13, in cold, wet, windy conditions. Calvin w a s a r e s p e c t a b l e third, putting up 60 markers, while K a l a m a z o (114) and Albion (138), w e r e well back in fourth and fifth respectively. Since the orange and blue won the dual-meet season with a 4-0 record, they also c l a i m e d their first outright MIAA title since w o m e n s ' cross-country began a s an official c o n f e r e n c e sport in 1981. The Scots, m e a n w h i l e , s a w their four-year reign as MIAA queens c o m e to an end. Alma did take the first two places. P e r h a p s disappointing any Hope fans who had their m o n e y on one of their array of contenders for individual honors. But the Dutch took control of the m e e t by s w e e p i n g the next four spots. Dependable Dana B a r s n e s s roared in third at 19:08,

followed Dy Tauna J e c m a n ' s 1 9 : 1 0 in f o u r t h . T h e r e s a Cheetham (19:24) and Sue DeSanctis (19:30) raced to the line in fifth and sixth respectiveThen Karen panse, c o m m i n g back from an injury, clinched the triumph with her ninth place 19:50. A m y Strieker and other injury-rebounder, Missy F l e m m ing, rounded out the Hope varsity with their 18th and 19th place finishes. Five m o r e Dutch crossed the line soon after. T a m m y Taylor w a s a well-spent 22nd in 20:40, followed by Deb Heydenburg (24th, 21:04), Deb Burda (29th, 21:23), Ky Boundy (30th, 21:46), and Karol Troupe (39th, 23:13). Hope would like to aim for a few other "firsts" yet this fall. If they can run as well at the Great Lakes Regional in Terre Haute, Indianna, (Rose-Hulman, host), they could m a k e their innaugural trip to the NCAA Division III Nationals! Only D i a n e Boughton (now Underwood) has e v e r gone to nationals ( a s an individual); no Hope t e a m has e v e r advanced. The Regional will be next Saturday.

Futurist Competition Announced The Honeywell Corporation h a s launced its fourth annual Futurist Awards Competition, a c o n t e s t that i n v i t e s c o l l e g e studetns to write e s s a y s about technological advancements they foresee in the y e a r 2010. Ten winners will earn $2,000 and the c h a n c e to work for Honeywell next s u m m e r . For the first time, one of t h e s e will be chosen top winner and will r e c e i v e an additional $8,000 for a total prize of $10,000. The contest is open to all fulltime students at any accredited college in the United States. Students are asked to leap ahead 25 y e a r s and write e s s a y s predicting d e v e l o p m e n t s in two of six technological a r e a s : electronic communications, energy, aerospace, c o m p u t e r science, manufacturing automation or office automation. A third e s s a y must address the societal i m p a c t of the technological predictions.

staff a r e a s on such nights m u s t be r e m o v e d from faculty-staff a r e a s no later than 9 a.m. the following day. Our d e p a r t m e n t will n o t i f y the s w i t c h b o a r d operator on such nights that all student parking a r e a s a r e full so that students can r e c e i v e this inf o r m a t i o n by c a l l i n g t h e operator. In the e v e n t that faculty-staff a r e a s h a v e to be cleared of snow early in the morning, students will be directed by the operator to park in facultystaff a r e a s in the D o w Center Lot number 14 on such nights.

E a c h of the three e s s a y s should be 500 to 750 words long. Completed e s s a y s must be p o s t m a r k e d no l a t e r t h a n D e c e m b e r 31,1985. In January, a panel of top Honeywell scientists and e n g i n e e r s will judge the e s s a y s on the basis of creativity, feasibility, clarity of expression and legibility. Winners will be announced in early February, and each of the ten winners will r e c e i v e a twoday, all-expense paid trip to H o n e y w e l l ' s h e a d q u a r t e r s in Minneapolis. The grand-prize winner will be announced at this time. For additional i n f o r m a t i o n write: Futurist Rules, P.O. B o x 2010, 600 S.
