Sons of Argos ignite quest for truth SALLY SMIXS staff r e p o r t e r

Flyers, pamphlets and canines have spotted the walls-of academic halls ancj rest rooms at Hope. " B a n g head here." " D o n ' t get foxed out of the truth." "Anything less would be unsatisfying."

Most Hope students, though, have no idea what these signs mean or who is behind them. The only clue is the mysterious name "Sons of Argos" printed on the bottom of the pages.

Argos was the dog of the Trojan warrior, O d y s s e u s . As the story goes, Odysseus went away for ten years of fighting and when he re-

turned Argos was the only one who recognized him. Argos was the only one who knew the truth.

Their papers may not necessarily say they know the truth but do intend to provoke thought.

"We never say we have the truth, we are just saying there is a truth," said the two members of T h e Sons of Argos, who call themselves Spot and Fido. "If we have a piece of the truth, good. If we find more of it, then we're blessed."

Whether or not they claim to have the whole truth or just part of it, the distribution of such a strong opinion still raises questions as to why they choose to remain anonymous.

T h r e e p u b l i c a t i o n s h a v e been

h u n g on the b u l l e t i n b o a r d s in DeWitt Center and elsewhere, accompanying the mysterious signs of dogs and grapes. Each one addressed the issue of absolute truth versus relativism and tolerance in religion.

"It's clear they think that if you have the right formula, you'll get to truth," said Psychology Professor Tom Ludwig, who has corresponded with the Sohs of Argos.

Their first pamphlet. The Cognitive Condom, was bitingly satirical and sarcastic, and the two following issues of The Gadfly Papers did not soften the tone. " I t ' s been said that w e ' r e the voice of the oppressed at Hope Col-

lege. if there are oppressed people at Hope," said a m e m b e r of The Sons of Argos.

Either way, they were bound to provoke debate, and maybe they were designed to do so. . George Urban ('97), among others, questions their approach.

"I don't think this is constructive, because they're saying, 'We're right and y o u ' r e wrong.' What is truth has been debated for thousands of years."

"I think what t h e y ' r e doing is completely legitimate, so I don't see why they need to be kept secret," Ludwig said.

The recent rash of window bashing, indecent exposures, and assaults on or near campus has forced students to watch where they walk at night and call Public Safety to report suspicious behavior.

But these events have also contributed to a rumor around campus that Hope is one of the most violent small colleges in the nation.

"There is no statistical basis for that conclusion," said Director of Public Safety Duane Terpstra, referring to the latest rumor which claims that M T V named Hope as America's most crime-riddled private college. "I've heard the [MTV] rumor, but no one has been able to produce a copy of the broadcast, and it's never been heard again."

Numbers to support Terpstra's statement are available to all stud e n t s in the p a m p h l e t " C a m p u s Security, Safety, and You," which can be obtained at the Public Safety office. T h e statistics of reported crimes in the past three years demonstrate that the numbers have actually been decreasing; burglary and unlawful entry have dropped from 9 instances in 1994 to 3 last year.

There have been no reported inc i d e n t s of n o n f o r c i b l e c r i m i n a l sexual conduct, hate crimes, robbery, motor vehicle theft, aggravated assaults, and murder in the past three years.

Terpstra's statistical evidence is taken in part from reports comparing actual criminal o f f e n s e s by Michigan county. A look at the past seven y e a r s s h o w s a decline in Hope College crimes from a high point of 467 in 1991 down to 392

Congress raises gavel on campus LAURA MIMAILOFF campusbeat editor

As the semester draws to an end.

Student C o n g r e s s has definite progress (o report. " S o many ideas came up at the beginning of the semester, but it took a w h i l e until we a c t u a l l y started to see s o m e action lake place," said Student Congress Comptroller Jessica Nelson ('99).

"But once we got started, a lot of new ideas started to take shape."

Some of the key issues tackled in the past few months include pels in residence halls, the new curriculum, speakers for the Spring, parking, and campus safety.

The Residential Life Board m o v e d to e n f o r c e the " n o p e t s " policy in residence halls and campus housing. Pets have never been allowed to cohabit residence halls with students (with the exception of fish and guide dogs), however, canines and felines have been spoiled lately roaming the halls and rooms of campus residences.

Due lo the overwhelming number of furry friends tracking through more CRIME on 2 residence halls, pels will not be al-

lowed to visit anymore, with the exception of guide dogs and fish.

The Curriculum Committee has been reviewing the success of new curriculum courses and is continuing to work with the Academic A f fairs Board lo continue in ihe revamping of the old core curriculum.

They also have devised a proposal so that all students will be req u i r e d lo s u c c e s s f u l l y complete one course in which cultural diversity is the primary focus. If this p r o p o s a l is a p proved, a minimum of 80 percent of the course will be devoted lo cultural diversity.

The Campus Safely Committee is considering a campus rendezvous in which the entire Student Congress will be divided into subgroups and tour campus to document highrisk areas, such as sites of poor lighting and bushes where intruders might hide.

Parking, is another topic to lake precedence this week as ihe first allc a m p u s Parking Forum will assemble in Wichers Auditorium at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 19.

"This is a time for students to

speak up about their concerns about parking," said Dana Maroll ('99).

The forum is part of a Special Events Committee reaction lo last w e e k ' s presentation by Students Against Poor Parking (S.A.P.P.) which presented a report lo the Administrative Affairs Board on Nov. 11.

Student Congress is cur\ rently d e l i b e r a t i n g w h o next semester's speaker will be. While the list is * narrowing down, no selection has been made 4 / / " thus far.

In p r e p a r a t i o n for Thanksgiving, the organization will sponsor a canned food drive Nov. 17 through 21. Students can drop off any non-perishable food items at Phelps Dining Hall, at the Student Union Desk, and with any SC representative.

Students are welcome to attend Student Congress meetings which are held every Thursday at 8 p.m. in the Herrick Room on the second floor of DeWitt. All Congress meetings continue to have an open floor where anyone is free to offer suggestions.

speaks to Hope community

Dear Editor, Just recently reading Mike Zolnierowicz's fine tribute lo our son, Peter Warburton, we were then surprised to read the criticism of it

by Tony Bull. In trying to understand what it was Mr. Bull took such exception with, we w o n d e r e d if perhaps in part it was because Mr. Zolnierowicz chose to focus on the person of Pete and the impact of his loss rather than on his act of suicide—which seems understandable w h e n you realize the persona of Pete Warburton and the act of suicide were totally inconsistent. How does anyone explain it? Whatever problems he had, surely others have had and gone on living.

name. He enjoyed his friends (and family). Though entertaining and always game for a good time, he was most valued for his gifts of friendship. He amused us, chatted with us, but also listened lo us and responded with care and insight. He gave most generously of his time and love. Simple gifts, but of tremendous value to those who experienced them. We continue to be amazed at just how many lives he touched and how deeply.

We miss Pete intensely—he was the sunshine of our family—and are so very grateful lo his Cosmopolitan brothers, John Norden and other Hope friends for their continued love and support. It has meant more than they can know.

on Hope's campus must come to an end

Dear Editor, While sitting in an upper level course, one of the last things we should expect to hear is demeaning comments that are both homophobic and heterosexist in nature. Unfortunately, this has not been the case here at Hope College. On more than one occasion we have heard individuals use h o m o p h o b i c and heterosexist language without regard to others in the class room.

These comments stem from both a lack of knowledge and awareness of homosexuality and a belief that no gay or bisexual individuals attend Hope College.

One of Hope's reasons for existing is to develop the growth of each student as a competent, creative, and compassionate person, as stated in the Hope catalog. Homophobic and heterosexist c o m m e n t s obviously lack competency, creativity, and compassion. Such c o m m e n t s undermine Hope's goal of develop-

Pluralist

to the Pete we knew who delighted so much in life and the company of others. What I have since learned, though very basic, is worth sharing.

According to John Hewit, in After Suicidey though people commit suicide for a number of reasons, what they all have in common is despair; they are suffering tremendous emotional pain. Looking back now, we do see some further evidence of depression in Pete's recent life. But depression is a very private disease.

Often it is not even recognized by the individual as the real root of their struggles.

I believe those w h o knew Pete related very well, as we his family did, to w h a t Mr. Z o l n i e r o w i c z wrote. Maybe it seemed trite to Mr. Bull b e c a u s e P e t e ' s g i f t s w e r e simple. He didn't have a list of norm a l " a c c o m p l i s h m e n t s " to h i s

ing the whole person. We as a campus should also be aware that such comments go against Hope's policy on sexual harassment. Under the section of 'Hostile E n v i r o n m e n t ' (section I.A.I) it is clearly stated that demeaning remarks or actions serving no scholarly, artistic or educational purpose that are directed at individuals or groups b e c a u s e of their gender or sexual orientation will not be tolerated. Yet, such remarks are made across campus.

To truly develop into competent, compassionate, and creative individuals we must give up our ignorance and fear of homosexuality.

Individuals who are h o m o s e x u a l should not have to accept or tolerate h o m o p h o b i c and heterosexist comments, and individuals who are heterosexual should no longer remain silent either when overhearing such abuses. Voicing concerns for gay, lesbian and bisexual students will enable all people at Hope to earn an equal education, and en-

should reconsider

Dear Editor, I write responding to the article 'Pluralist f i n d s truth beyond her f a i t h ' ? in the Oct. 29 issue of the Anchor I am particularly concerned with responding to Ms. Harkins' belief that we should "respect other religions."

"We should respect all religions."

Let's examine the proposition and put it to the test. I am not exactly sure what it means, but if we lake it to mean something like,"We should respect all religions because they are all sensible to some degree; they are especially sensible lo people who adhere to them, therefore we should leave such people alone, for what reason have we to impose our beliefs on them?" I think the proposition can be s h o w n to be false.

Moreover. I believe it can be shown to be a morally indefensible proposition by which only malevolent people could truly live. Now, I do not mean to say that Ms. Harkins is a malevolent person, because I do not believe she truly lives by the principle she espouses.

Let us suppose that a close friend of Ms. Harkins is a member of the Heaven's Gale cult. Let us also sup-

joy the whole Hope experience. Belittling c o m m e n t s and actions presently stand in the way of our goal for equality, and as a community.

So here is your chance! By giving voice and naming derogatory and demeaning actions we can attain the goal Ihe Hope has set. We are the beginning, and must foster such an environment for the development of the whole person. We must also recognize that there are lesbian, bisexual, and gay students w h o are a part of the Hope c o m m u nity. We, as students of Hope College must no longer remain silent on the abuses of homophobia and heterosexism, but should celebrate the w o n d e r f u l diversity w e have here. So, drop us a line or e-mail us at: Carine at K C 3 1 2 1 9 9 or Rob at TR318499. We hope lo here from you with any positive comments, questions, or concerns.

C a r i n e K a u f f m a n n ('99) R o b T e m p l e ('99)

her beliefs, student

pose M s . H a r k i n s knew that on Tuesday of next week her friend planned lo commit suicide because she believed a mother ship w a s wailing behind a nearby comet lo receive her resurrected body. I do not know Ms. Harkins, but she is depicted in the article as a compassionate person and I am willing lo assume she cares for her friends. So, I think I may unequivocally say that she would abandon all easy-lo-recile canlaboul respecting Ihe religion of others and that she would do everything in her power lo convince her friend that his beliefs are false in order lo prevent him from committing suicide.

All this is another way of saying that we all believe some things lo be really true and other things to be really false. We rightly try to convince others to believe how we believe, especially with regard to the really important things like eternal salvation. It's also another way of saying I do not respect Ms. Harkins' beliefs; I think they are silly. What 1 do respect is her right lo hold those beliefs and I respect the courage she showed in expressing them publicly—especially when she knows that by d o i n g so she l a k e s the chance of a curmudgeonly person

says

like me writing a public letter thai argues against her convictions.

There is a certain intellectual confusion prevalent in America today lhal is breeding intellectual chaos.

T h e confusion arises from a failure lo distinguish between respecting a n o t h e r ' s b e l i e f s and r e s p e c t i n g another's right to hold those beliefs.

This chaos and c o n f u si o n is perpetuated by those who like to talk of "diversity" ihe greatest of moral g o o d s and w h o b e l i e v e lhal all creeds are on equal moral fooling and have equal claims lo truth. In colleges people are engaged in the process of sorting truth from untruth, and discrediting some ideas while arguing for others. Can any of us truly say lhal, in the name of diversity, we w o u l d respect the ideas of someone w h o believes the earth is flat? Certainly not, for this idea has been discredited and a more reasonable idea with more valid claims lo truth has taken its place. All religions are not respectable, but we can put respect into practice by endeavoring lo be respectful hearers of reasons for whal others believes and respectful givers of reasons for what we believe.
