Casino Night creates fim instantly for two students by Jane VanOstenberg staff reporter Saturday at 5 a.m., five hours after she eagerly waited to hear if her name would be chosen to win, Krista Schwanda ('94) was being driven by limousine to Grand Rapids International Airport to board her flight to Disney World.

KRISTA SCHWANDER celebrates her winning of SAC s trip to Disney World at Friday's Casino Night.
Saturday - so she had to call her date and cancel, Schwander said about finding s o m e o n e to accompany her. "She was here in an
hour and a half with her bags packed and read^ to go. She was pretty excited.' Schwander had been to Disney World before in kindergarten and high school but had never stayed in a resort like this one before. "The Caribbean Resort Hotel was incredible. Everything was so beautiful. It was set on a lagoon. There were beaches and pools for every village in the resort," she said. After moving into their resort room, unpacking and taking showers, they spent four hours at Epcot. By 7 p.m? they retired to their room. The women were ready to collapse because, in all the excitement, they had not slept in 40 hours. The women caught up on sleep till 10 a.m. Sunday morning and then were on their way again. They visited MGM, laid by the pool and then went back to the Magic Kingdom. Schwander thought that the funnest thing they did that day
was the water ride. One thing that Schwander commented on was that she noticed so much more than she had when she was younger. "We could see all the characters and how they were all moving together and also we noticed all the details that are put into all the rides," she said. On Monday the women checked out but made one last trip into the Magic Kingdom and Epcot before heading to the airport. "Every once in a while, we had to do a reality check. We had to realize, wait 'Did we win this and where are we?,'" Schwander said. She didn't think it would be loo bad missing her classes. "I was planning on missing on Wednesday to go home early for Thanksgiving. Now, I am going to wail till after classes Wednesday to leave. I skipped on Monday instead of Wednesday. Thai's O.K." "I don't even know if it has sunk in yet," Schwander summarized.
Campus safety concerns being addressed by Amy Seibert staff reporter The recent violent attack against five Hope students has prompted much concern in both the student body and the administration. The incident involved five attackers who chased a male away from his truck and then beat the windows and body with crowbars, shattering glass on the four women inside."Things aren't as safe as you think," said the driver of the truck. In wake of the most recent incident. Dean of Students Richard Frost has formed a safely committee with representation from Student Congress, Greeks, residents and offcampus students. It is designed to get students in on the planning and

Public Safety has taken comments like these into consideration while trying to make the campus safe for students at night. They are working with the city to increase lighting. Some new lighting has already been installed and they have extensive plans to get more lighting in the parking lots. They are looking into a drive-up telephone so that students won' t have to leave their cars to call for an escort from the parking lots. "Now I'm always looking around, in cars, bushes, whatever. Every little movement scares me," said one of the victims of the attack. "Don't think it couldn't happen to you—that's what I thought."
Faith and learning combined in Knight Conference by Sarabeth Robie staff reporter The third annual Knight Faith and Learning Conference, held at the Marigold Lodge this past Saturday, showcased presentations by five Hope professors who explored the connection between their religious faith and academic life. Hersilia Alvarez-Ruf (Modem Languages), Edward C. Hansen (Geology), James B. Heisler (Economics), Dennis Renner (Communication), and Todd P. Steen (Economics) were the featured speakers. The Conference was developed to showcase the recipients of the Knight Fellowships. According to an article published ina 1990edition ofNewj FAWN/tope College, Provost Jacob Nyenhuis believes that the grants allow "members of the college community to take a summer to set aside lime to read, to think, to write about the subject, tocrystallize their own ideas
about how one goes about the interesting but sometimes difficult challenge of what it means to translate faith into practice." Hansen, one of the speakers at this year's conference explained, "My own concern as a professing Christian, scientist, and teacher is to show that there is no basic incompatibility between faith and science." Other recipients of the fellowship had more to say about the connection between their chosen topic and their profession. Heisler found that the facultystudent relationship is a powerful one. He commented, "Some studies ask if people who study economics behave in a more self-interested way. The impact on undergraduate decisions about ethical issues based upon how they were taught economics...showed that it mattered." * Along the same lines, Steen discovered, "the lack of work from a Christian perspective on consumption. Consumption is treated almost exclusively as an
'end' in most works, and little attention is given to the use of consumption as a 'means to other desirable ends," Steen said. Renner studied the connection between television and children. One of his observations was that parents would not allow clowns or other entertainers to entertain their children, "in exchange for a chance to make sales pitches to the children for 10 of every 30 minutes, if they entertained by showing erotic and violent pictures. What American television does is close enough to this analogy to make some Christians uncomfortable." Alvarez-Ruf took this summer to research the writings of Alonso de Ovalle. The writer wasa Jesuit priest who devoted a great deal of his time in Chile to the evangelization of the Indians and Black slaves, According to Alvarez-Ruf, she took this opportunity because she had, "always been interested in discovering the true role of the C o m p a n i a de Jesus in Latin America." This year the speakers convened
at Marigold Lodge to hear keynote an ardent appreciation of the speaker Diogenes Allen who spoke beautiful in nature, had taken a sandy on "Christian Belief in a Postmodern miniature peninsula and made it into World." a paradise—calling Mr. Allen it Marigold Lodge." believes that his In the 19th century the sandy topic was pertinent b e c a u s e , peninsula on which "Intellectuals are Marigold Lodge more open now [to was built belonged Christianity] than to Hope College, which hoped to use they have been in the land for Hope the past 300 years."

Scholar in residence does "homey" form of research
Anchor photo by Rich Blair
DR. JIM ANDERSON Is at Hope College as a Presidential Scholar-ln-Resldence. Some researchers do their work in the lab; others do it in the library. But Dr. Jim Anderson, Presidential Scholar-in-Residence in the department of communication, does a good deal of his research in the homes of families. As an ethnographer, he utilizes this form of research in his study of families and their uses of mass media. "It is the best way to understand how family members use media and why," he explained. "It is not an intrusion by any means. It is a give and take situation; I often find myself doing the dishes and cooking."
Currently, Anderson who chairs the department of communication at the University of Utah, is doing research in addition to teaching a communication course at Hope dealing with media in the lives of people. Because of time limitations, Anderson is not doing the kind of work that requires him to live with a family in Holland. But he is heading a research project involving student interns which is looking at family influence on voting patterns. This study, now in its final stages, is based on the 1992 national elec-
tion. The study focuses on the relationships between people's current voting patterns and the influence from their families to vote a certain way. Having done this kind of study before, Anderson commented that people tend to base their vote on the family they are in because that is where they are held accountable for their behavior. " H o l l a n d is a r e s e a r c h e r ' s dream," Anderson said. "It contains many ethnicities and income classes, and these different groups are very distinct from one another."

Students will serve the ladies and gentlemen dinner and help clean up afterwards. The major traditional event held by Mortar Board is the Wearing of the Blue. This is a breakfast attended by the freshmen and sophomores of Hope who are on the Dean's List at the time. It is considered a privilege to be invited and many students attend. Mortar Board has developed a reputation of being an important part of Hope and the community.

Student
Conarcss Hi 11 ijliincc... by'Eric 'Jicldiiu]
Hello, for the second time. I would like to thank the man who alked to me about an idea he had for the campus parking problem. Your idea was discussed this week (Thursday, November 19). I, and the Student Congress Cabinet are excited that people have read this section. We hope that it will spur all of you to take an active roll in the changes that we are bringing about at Hope. Please be sure to discuss any concerns you may have with your representative . You can be sure that any concern you express will be brought up and pursued by Student Congress. A constituent talked to his/her representative this week about having new video games placed in the Kletz game room. Kollen representative Eric Foster ('96) will talk to Sandy Harmon of the Kletz about this. A non-traditional student feels that the packet given to non-traditional students is disorganized and inadequate. Off-campus representative Danielle Phebus ('95) will talk to Anne Bakker-Gras and Richard Frost about how this problem can be eliminated in the future. Some students are concerned about people smoking in the pool table/ Foosball area of the Kletz. Vice president Joe Kuiper ('93) will find a way to more clearly mark the smoking and non-smoking areas. Thank you all who talked to your representatives about your concerns. If you have an opinion on these or any other issues, please tell your representative. One of the concerns highest on the agenda of Student Congress this year was again voiced by some constituents this week. It involved the computer shortage and the difficulty in accessing those that exist, especially late at night. On the initiative of Scott Hall representative Mike Yantis ('95) an ad hoc committee was formed to pursue this problem. The committee hopes to eventually have computers in every dorm. Mike will talk to Greg Maybury, director of Computer Information and Technology about the hours of accessibility of the various computer labs so that the committee will be more informed about the problem. I (Eric Fielding, representative of Cosmo/Arkie Hall) talked to Robin Diana earlier this year about changing the access cards of those in dorms around Kollen Hall so that they too can get into Kollen after it is locked. This will allow them to use Kollen's computer facilities at any time of the night. Robin had some concerns about Kollen's security if this were to go into effect, but she agreed to look into the matter with some
. Eric Fielding other staff and administrative persons. I will keep pursuing this idea. Do you have any ideas to solve the computer shortage problem? If so, please tell us. Last week we discussed the parking problem and formed an ad hoc parking committee. The committee met and thought of marking each parking spot with a number, then allowing students to select which spot they'd like to have. Like in the room draw, students with the most credits would choose first, and those with the least number of credits go last. This would rid the campus of the problem of having more registered parkers than there are parking spots. The fee for the permit would have to be raised so that Public Safety doesn't lose money (Public Safety currently makes $63,000 per year on student parking registration and tickets issued. This money is used primarily for lot upkeep.) The proposal would also make it more difficult for freshmen, sophomores and transfer students to get a permit or find a spot near their dorm. What do you think? Student Congress will probably make an official recommendation on the parking issue Thursday, Dec. 3, so if you have an opinion, make sure that you express it to your representative. Joe Kuiper handed out and explained how to implement the 199293 Student Congress Survey. Each representative received 25 surveys which will be given randomly to members of his or her constituency. If your representative asks you to fill out a survey, please remember that it is important that you fill this out in the time frame given. It should only take a couple minutes. This would also be an excellent time to barrage your representative with ideas for Student Congress. Fact of the week: There are 25 representatives toStudentCongress and three cabinet members. Alphabetically the first five are: Kristen Anthony ('93) (at large), Karen Atkeson ('93) (cottages), Todd Bloch ('93) (off campus), Carrie Borchers ('95) (Kollen/Lichty), and Kim Breen('93)(Brumler/Biedler/ Vennema).
Communication honor society inducts new members The Hope College Alpha Delta chapter of Lambda Pi Eta, the national communication honor society, inducted 11 new members during a banquet on November 19. Lambda Pi Eta was formed to advance the discipline of communication and to recognize the accomplishmentsofstudentswhohave excelled academically. Approximately 45 colleges and universities belong to the society, which was established in 1985. Hope's chapter was chartered during the 1991-92 academic year. The new members are Julie Akin ('93), Jeffrey Arnold C93), Jennifer Cameron, ('93), Jason Elmore ('93), Tobin Gruppen ('93) and Kathryn Mixer ('95). Also inducted were
Holly Moore ('93), Heather Mumby ('94), Judith Murray ('93), Andrew Rassi ('94) and Craig Toomayan m . Current members are Jason Evert ('93), Cynthia Keip ('94) and Scott Runyon ('93). The chapter's officers are Evert, president; Akin, vice president; Rassi, scholarship officer; Cameron, treasurer; and Keip, secretary. To be eligible for admission to the Hope chapter, students must be communication majors who have taken at least 12 credit hours in the discipline, and must have a grade point average of at least 3.35 in their major and a 3.2 or better grade point average overall. —Hope College News Service

Casino Night Some iuon...some lost.,,all had a good time! by Julie Blair campus editor Some Hope students raked in the big bucks while others found their fortunes literally blown away at Casino Night held between Phelps Hall and the Maas Center Friday night sponsored by the Student Activities Committee and Creative Dining Services. Champagne sipping gamblers geeked out in semi-formal attire shuffled from table to table, laying down wads of play cash in hopes of beating the house to win big money and prizes. Some found Lady Luck at the packed Black Jack tables; others found themselves ensnared in the Roulette or dice games. Each began theevening with $500 spending money, but by 10 p.m., many found their cache had disappeared. The big winners, however, started early and stayed late, working on strategies bound to bring in buku bucks.
But not everyone could be as lucky as the guys living in Phelps 231. Steve Triemstra ('96), roommate Cory VanTil ('96), neighbors Tom Meyer ('96) and Aaron Walk ('96) pooled their funds—a stash totalling 530,000—to buy a thirteen inch color television with remote. "I lost a lot on Black Jack but then went to the wheel and go my money back," VanTil said. "1 put down $200 on the 2 to 20 and they paid double—I won $8000!" Matt Lenger ('96) won his funds in the "Blizzard of Bucks," a sealed chamber filled with a fan used to blow the money up and outward. "That fan was like a hurricane," Lenger said. "You just had to grab as much money as you could." And money meant stuff. Those with big budgets could redeem their dollars in the Millipnaire Shoppe for a "Rolling Down the River" theme t-shirts, coupons to Holland restaurants, a VCR or certificates to grace 10 community service hours. But the highlight of the evening

was the drawing for the all expense paid three day trip for two to Disneyworld won by Krista Schwander ('94) funded by the Casino night tickets. Schwander and guest Wendy Straw ('95) departed from Hope Saturday morning by limo to Kent County Airport in Grand Rapids where they Hew Delta Airlines to Orlando, Florida. The package included reservations at the new Caribbean Resort Hotel, $200 in spending money, and two Disney World passes to the Magic Kingdom, Epcot Center, MGM Studios and Typhoon Lagoon. A dance featuring hip-hop and alternative music followed the Disney raffle. "(Casino night) went a lot better this year," SAC director Tom Hardy ( ' 9 3 ) said. " W e made some changes—had more games in the Phelps side and had formal pictures taken." Photo shots can be picked up for the cost of SI in the SAC office.

Campus safety reconsidered C a m p u s safety has developed into the biggest and most crucial issue among students this semester. Most students have strong feelings on the issue. Some feel it has been blown out of proportion to the extent of creating needless paranoia. Others feel the issue is far more important than our community realizes and feel more needs to be done to protect us from impending dangers that surround us. Apart from these views, we can clearly see that safety has risen as an issue of importance simply by the sheer numbers of people using the shuttle van service after dark (around 400 per night this year compared to 70 or so last year). Neither can anyone question that the recent incidents of violence in the Holland area have caused not a few in the Hope community to think twice about their own safety. What is the issue behind the issue? Why is there such a shift in attitude? Then, how should we respond to these events? How can we think about the safety issue while not becoming paranoid about every bush and corner? Can we feel good about the community we are part of without our muscles growing so tense whenever the sun goes down because we are unable to think about anything besides our safety? Campus safety really comes down to an issue of personal rights. We feel we should have a right to be safe without others interfering with that right. We need to realize that Holland is not like the inner cities of Chicago or Detroit where there are shootings and killing nearly every day or week. This doesn't mean we can be careless and act foolishly at night or in situations we know to be dangerous. But we do live in a relatively safe place in comparison to these cities. What is making the recent events such a big deal is the fact that people in Holland have become used to the area being extremely safe. W e are experiencing the effects similar to a child when he is told he has (he run of the house for a month and then is told he needs to stay in his room for a day. Whether or not this order is justified, he is going to rebel and feel his rights have been taken away. In the same way, people in Holland have had some of their rights taken away—their rights to safety. W e will go through an adjustment time getting used to a different sort of lifestyle until things change. But we shouldn't continue in paranoia—we ought to do what situations require for us to protect ourselves but also do what we can to create a safe environment for the future.

Last issue and letters • Publishing dates The Anchor will not be published Wednesday, Dcc, 2 due to Thanksgiving break. The final issue of the semester will be published Dec. 9. Have a great Thanksgiving, but don't eat too much turkey—it can cause stomach aches. • Letters to the editor I have received a few letters to the editor during this semester without a name or phone number on them for reference. In the past week, I received just such an unsigned letter. I am now holding it until 1 can verify the source. I don't want this to be a barrier to community discussion. I want to clarify here how The Anchor deals with sources of anonymous letters. While 1 understand the sensitive nature of some of these letters. The Anchor has a policy to not publish
letters when their sources are not known, no matter how important they may seem to be. I will, though, print letters without names in certain cases. If you are going to write a letter to the editor about a very sensitive issue which you feel could be detrimental to include with your name but which you feel needs to be part of thecommunity'sdiscussion, there are a couple things to keep in mind. First, I still need to be able to confirm you as a credible source of the letter. (Include your name and phone number at the end of the letter.) Second, I will print letters without a name in cases where the above criteria are met. Please note that if you desire I can be the only person to know your name. This means you need a good reason to be kept anonymous, but I still need to con-

firm you as a source. Since, there will be some time after our last issue and the end of the semester, any letters to the editor received after deadlines for the December nine issue will be considered for publication in the first issue of the spring semester.

Letters to the editor
Gangs and drunk students Dear Editor, Who are the gangs threatening our neighborhood and destroying our community? The description in the November 18 Anchor made it sound like outsiders. But maybe the biggest threat to the stability and peace in Central Holland is drunk Hope students. Let me tell you a sad story. Two weeks ago my husband and I volunteered at the shelter for homeless families on 11th Street. In the shelter that night were five young children and their mother. The children were frightened. This was a totally new experience for them: sleeping in a strange place. We did everything we could to help them feel secure. Finally at 11:00 they fell asleep. My husband and I had just gone to bed when we heard screams coming from the front lawn of the shelter. A very large drunk crowd was pushing a young woman to the ground. The men gathered around her were
laughing and counting how long it took her to get up. To my eyes it looked frightening, but to the children upstairs it was a nightmare. I ran to the porch to see who this gang was. What gang colors were they wearing? Orange and Blue. I yelled to them, "Go away! You're frightening people herel" The loud shouts continued. "Stop or I'll call the police!" Finally a response: "Shut up, you old bag. The police have already been called!" I went inside and called the police. The crowd moved on down the street after several men went around behind the shelter and urinated in the children's playground. The next morning half-full bottles of beer were strewn around the front yard where young children had already found them. Maybe young men like Karl Nicies (the apologist for drunk Hope students) think that the police have their prioritiesconfusedbecause they respond to incidents like the one above. But I am very angry at the
insensitive, egocentric behavior of those who think trashing a neighborhood is OK if you happen to be a privileged Hope student. Perhaps it was Karl or his friends who terrorized five young children that night. Perhaps they had no idea that the "old bag" was a person who has devoted 21 years to their education. But ignorance is no excuse. We need more people like student Brian Bollone who organized a sleep-out to raise funds for the homeless. More students like Terry Dillivan who organized Hope College Day for the children at Lincoln School. But especially, we need more students who will stand up to other students who are acting in ways that undercut community building. We need to get the log out of our own eye as we look for what causes the problems in our community. Sincerely, Jane Dickie

Giant rats with swords?
Where else can you find giant rats bathing humanized household appliances in a desperate struggle— good versus evil—than in the play, "The Nutcracker"? A big hit last year, the fairy-tale world of E . T . A . H o f f m a n ' s "Nutcracker" story is returning to Hope College's DeWitt Center theatre for the holiday season. The popular Christmas production, a joint effort of Hope College Theatre and Hope Summer Repertory Theatre (HSRT), opens its 20-performance run on Friday, Nov. 27, and plays through Saturday, Dec. 19. There will be six matinees at 2 p.m. or 4 p.m. and 14 evening performances at 8 p.m. Annually, more than 8,000
children and adults attend the fairytale spectacle, adcument ticket sales, according to B J . Berghorst, director of audience development, are already brisk. "The Nutcracker A Play" takes the theatre-goer into an imaginary world of larger-than-life creatures, suspenseful fantasy, and the beauty and tenderness of childhood dreams. For those familiar with Tchaikovsky's ballet, the play uses the same famous tale by E.T.A. Hoffman,the 18thcentury,Prussianbom writer. David Hammond'splay version, written in 1988, premiered in the Midwest with hope's 1990 production. John Tammi, professor of theatre at Hope, returns to direct the
production. In addition, HSRT has hired six professionals for the "Nutcracker" production. They will serve as visiting instructors, focusing on their particular work in the professional theatre. This year's visiting instructors include Sarah Koeppe, Brenda Studt, David Colacci, Maggie McClellan, Brian Byrnes, and Brad Williams. Reservations may be obtained at the DeWitt Center ticket office, which is located in the theatre lobby, or by calling (616)-394-7890. The ticket office is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday. —Hope College News Service
John Cage tribute fittingly strange by Eric Wampler arts and entertainment editor The orchestra was warming up. But this was no usual orchestra. Not when, in addition to instruments like violins and the piano, usual fare, the roar of power tools were being tuned, and a baseball mitt and ball set a regular beat. Strange as that may be, stranger was yet to come: when conductor Bob Thompson signalled the ready, all were poised to begin...and poised...and poised. Ready for music, noise, anything, the utter silence transfigured the listener for the several minutes it look for this piece—4 , 33 , —to occur.
Last Monday, November 23, there was a "happening" at Hope College, a concert in tribute to recently deceased musician John Cage. The program was made up of many short pieces that ranged from the sounds of Max Milo, guest artist, making a shake—O'OO" (for blender, fruits and/or vegetables, throat microphone)—to Cory Williams screaming to the delicate harmony of a pile driver—Solo for Voice 72 (names of constellations and earth population centers, with tape of pile driver). The evening was a cacophony of sounds and sights. Cacophony is usually a word with negative connotations, but in this context it is high praise. The utter strangeness of the concert—if it even can be called
such—was freeing, in a way. It served to let one experience things without preconceptions, forcing one to fully experience everything in its own right. Besides, Max went through the audience with a leaf blower. That's enough to make an evening right there. The concert was a radically different experience from anything many might have been expecting. And while it may not have appealed to some, the strange silence that it seemed to seek to illustrate is probably a valuable lesson to most. "If you think what happens tonight is relevant, it is relevant," the program guide reads, "if you think it is irrelevant, it is irrelevant."

Milton and Small big characters in Of Mice and Men Who is this man?
Heidi Zwart I had always wondered what the hype about Malcolm X was and why folks insisted on wearing those hats with only a X on them. "There is a large theater near my house and when Malcolm X opened, lines of people miles long waited to get in. Riots and fights broke out after the movie and the streets were a disaster," said Cosmopolitan fraternity alumni Ben Lawrence, now teaching in New York. Now that the movie is out, I had to know why. I am not an avid movie-goer. I have seen three movies in the last three weeks but before that I went on a seven month abstinence kick for some unknown reason. I like to see movies but if you are in a theater, voicing opinions loudly and emphatically can be a disturbance to those around you and even to whom you are with. 1 realized that 1 would be doing this for Malcolm X so I took my mother and sal as far away from the general public as possible (general public being about twenty folks). Yes, I had a lot of comments to vocalize. Produced by Spike Lee and with Oscar-winner Denzel Washington, the movie was hyped up and expected to be a prize. "We didn't want to put Malcolm into sainthood. We
wanted him to be human," said Lee. He also mentioned that he worried about creating a nonfiction movie and still putting his stamp on it. Well, since Lee was Malcolm's best bud in the flick, I could tell his touch was in the producing. Malcolm was not a nice man. His family was split up after his father was brutally murdered by the KKK and he was sent to a all-white boys home. Malcolm excelled in his classes but was denied the option to be a lawyer. It went way downhill from there. The first two and some hours (it is a three hour and twenty minute long flick) dealt with the "bad" about Malcolm. He did it all from drugs to women to robbery. 1 kept asking my mother what was so impressive about him. He was not impressing me. From his portrayal in the movie, Malcolm and Lee ended up in jail and Malcolm met a follower of Elijah Muhammad. Malcolm was reborn arid when he got out, became an avid follower and a very powerful % speaker. In his speeches. Malcolm alienated whites and called them productions of the devil. Not the most friendly term to use on an oppressor. Malcolm finally saw the light

by Jane VanOstenberg staff reporter Of Mice and Men is a stirring and deeply moving analysis of human emotions and motivations. The movie portrays the struggle of individuals and their meaningful existence in this world. The movie's plot and character development held close the storyline in the book of the same name written by John Steinbeck in 1937. The characters' physical and emotional actions paralleled those described in the book. The two main characters, Lenny Small (John Malkovich) and George Milton (Gary Sinise), captured the
audience and portrayed their roles vividly and with much emotion. Their ability to assume their roles with such reality made it easy for the audience to be drawn into the movie and almost become a part of the experience. The movie opened in the middle of an intense and shocking scene which deliberately left the audience with a misconception of Lenny's character. It was not until later in the movie that his actions were explained and understood by the audience for what they really were. Lenny traveled with and was looked after by George, who had taken Lenny under his wing ever since Lenny's aunt died. The two
had been together ever since. The bond between these two characters became extremely strong, loving and unselfish. George gave up much of his life and possible achievements to lake care of Lenny and see that he was not forgotten. At the same time, Lenny depended on George and loved him unconditionally. They had dreams and aspirations of a better life where they had more control of their destinies. Through this bond, they also explored various aspects of human value and self worth. They show how people judge whether or not another human being has importance

The River'll take you back Sarabeth Robie staff reporter While watching A River Runs Through It, I was transported back in lime to one of the most memorable summers of my childhood. The summer was spent with family, and its memories are clear and crisp. It was that summer my family packed camping equipment and supplies to last the summer, along with me and a number of books for my entertainment, into a small red hatchback to travel the country. We drove from New York to California and back again. It was during that trip that I discovered the majesty of the west. The wonder and awe of the Wyoming landscapes are represented in their purist form in A Ri\ erRuns Through It. The story of the narrator's life is irrevocably intertwined with the land of his childhood. The grandeur of the Wyoming that I r e m e m b e r is
translated skillfully by director Robert Redford. The land is given a voice, a voice which roams freely throughout this film, capturing the audience in its spell. Redford allows most of the story to be related by a single narrator. The narrator tells of the memories of his childhood, young adult, and adult life. The memories allows us to glimpse the parts of his life that hold particular meaning to him. We see what he (the narrator) wants us to see. It is the simplicity of the story, uncluttered, that allows us to understand clearly what the author must have wanted us to see. 1 did not see a actor who was not able to show
us who they were .or why they were included in the narrator's memories. Both the memories and the ever present Wyoming landscape are used together in order to capture the essence of this film. It is the infiniteness of the territory, and the finite presence of man that are at the crux of what A River Runs Through It has to tell. The memories of the narrator are filmed against this background, and take place within the rivers where he fished, the mountains where he logged, and the town in which he lived. You will be captured by this film.

From the Cheap Seats Steve Shilling
Dutchmen split two in tourney by Steve Shilling sports editor
Of Turkey, Pigskin and Moms " I f we're down and Doug has the ball, we think we're okay," —Gerard Phelan When I think back on all of the Thanksgiving Day memories that I have, most of them involve football. Which when you think of it should really be no shock. There were all of the football games over the years, Detroit and Dallas and whoever wanted a short practice week to ensure them a little national T.V. time. Some of the best wars I saw were waged a day or so after when my brothers and I played in Grandma's rather large and beautiful back yard. This is how it occurred that the best game 1 ever saw was a game that I never saw the end of. Say what? The best Thanksgiving football game that I ever saw, I missed the ending of and the game wasn't even on Thanksgiving Day. Boston College was playing defending National Champion Miami (Fla.) on the last college football Saturday of the year.' Doug Flutie, quarterback for B.C. was my favorite college football player at the time and this game was real important to his Heisman Trophy chances (an award he later won). The game itself was an offensive "thrill fest" as there were over 1,000 yards of total offense during the game. With B.C. leading 41 -38 and only 3:50 to go in the fourth quarter, Miami quarterback Bernie Kosar drove his team 79 yards and a seemingly secure 45-41 lead with 28 seconds to go in the game after fullback Mel Bratton scored his fourth touchdown of the day.
This is just about the same time I made my lusty exit. While my brother Russ and I were playing a game called "Super Bowl" in the backyard, Doug Flutie stood 80 yards away from a B.C. Win. As we lofted pass after pass into the air winning the Super Bowl in dramatic fashion, Doug Flutie scrambled around and heaved a desperation pass to roommate Gerard Phelan with time running out and B.C. won the game 47-45, I never saw it. We came in after about a half an hour or so and my mom informed me that Doug Flutie had pulled off the most amazing victory since Terry Bradshaw and Franco Harris pulled off the immaculate Reception in 1972 for the Steelers. I have since seen it a hundred times and 1 enjoy it more and more every time even though 1 still regret somewhat that I missed the game live. But hey!, Russ and I still won the Super Bowl that afternoon. So, this Thanksgiving holiday as you're seating yourself in front of that big 29-inch screen stereosurround television think for a minute what you could miss by helping mom for a change in the kitchen. After all, isn't she working a hell of a lot more with the meal than we are helping Dallas and Detroit? You never know. You might even enjoy what you might miss by spending a little time in the kitchen, thats why they invented the 11 p.m. Sportscenter on ESPN.
MIAA c o a c h e s select Calvin, Alma as basketball favorites Defending Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association and NCAA Division III national basketball champions Calvin and Alma ape again the teams to beat accOTding to a pre-season poll of conference coaches. The polls in men's and women's basketball were announced during the annual MIAA Winter Sports Press Day at Albion College. Calvin is the unanimous pick to repeat as men's MIAA champion. The Knights, coached by Ed Douma, won the Division III national title a year ago enroute to a 31-1 record. Hope is picked to finish runnerup in
the m e n ' s race, followed by Kalamazoo, Albion, Olivet, Adrian and Alma. Alma is the unanimous pick to repeat as women's MIAA champion. The Lady Scots, coached by Charles Goffnett, won the women's NCAA Division III national crown last year with a 24-3 record. Adrian is picked to finish second in the women's race while Albion and Calvin tied for third in the balloting. Next are Kalamazoo, Hope and Olivet. Both the Calvin men and Alma women are picked to repeat as national champions in the NCAA Basketball preview magazine.
Hope College rebounded from an 88-84 loss to Bethel (Ind.) College on Friday night to post a 84-76 consolation game victory over Indiana University-South Bend Saturday in the Grand Rapids Baptist Classic. The Flying Dutchmen (1 -1) were led by center Duane Bosma's ('96) 24 points and 15 rebounds as well as guard Brad Duistermars's ('95) 20 points, 3 assists and 2 steals as Hope had a 47-41 halftime advantage. "We got better fundamentally," said Hope coach Glenn VanWieren. On Friday, the Hying Dutchmen opened their season playing a tight game with Bethel 88-84. Bethel had already played six games (5-1) going into the contest. Hope had a 60-49 lead well into the second half, but missed shots and turnovers letting Bethel back into the game as they took the lead 65-64 with 7:35 left in the game. Hope forward Steve Hendrickson ('93) had 16 points to lead the Flying Dutchmen, followed by forward Doug Mesecar ('93) with 13 and guard Jeff DeMasse ('93) with 14. NOTEBOOK The Flying Dutchmen, who opened last night at home against Concordia, do not play another home game until Dec. 8 when they play Wheaton in a n o n - c o n f e r e n c e game...Hope hosts the Russ Devette Holiday Tournament on December 29-30 which includes Grand Rapids Baptist, Illinois Benedictine and Trinity Christian.

NCAA cross country Ail-American Hope College senior Marcia Vandersall ('93) became an NCAA Ail-American in a second sport as she finished fourth in a field of 136 runners at the Division III national cross country championships Saturday (Nov. 21). In becoming Hope's first female cross country A l l - A m e r i c a n , Vandersall also claimed the best finish at nationals by an MIAA runner. The previous best was fifth place by Renea Bluekamp of Calvin in 1991. The winner of the 5,000 meter race was Sarah Edmonds in 18:09. Vandersall was timed at 18:16.
Last spring, Vandersall earned NCAA All-America honors in outdoor track by finishing sixth in the 5,000 meter run. She was competing in the nationals for a second time. In 1989, as a freshman, she was 52nd. Teammate Alicia Mendenhall ('94), who also qualified for nationals, was 68th with a time of 19:27. The Calvin College women's team finished second overall in the national team competition up from last year's eighth place performance. SUNY-Cortland won the national team championship. —Hope College News Service

Bethlehem Fund supports Spring Break Work Project Picture this: the Hope community taking a collection around the Christmas season that becomes a significant gift for people in need. This actually is a reality and done annually (before Christmas break) by the Ministry of Christ's People (MOCP) and the Chaplain's Office. Every member of the Hope community is invited to participate in the spirit of Christmas giving to the Bethlehem Fund. The MOCP team of students makes the decision as to who the beneficiaries of the fund will be. They also sponsor this "community effort" fundraiser. This year, the money collected from the fund will be used to finance the Spring Break Work Project in Whiteville, West Virginia—also sponsored by the Chaplain's Office. Over twenty Hope students traveled to the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota last year where they painted a church and supplied all the materials needed. This year, the Spring Break Work Project will take a different turn as students will travel to Whiteville to work on a brand new community redevelopment project entitled "Helping Hands." The community, impoverished to begin with, has recently undergone a series of complicated misfortunes—including polluted water. Hope students serving this West Virginia community through the "Helping Hands" project will be
working in soup kitchens, food pantries and thrift stores, as well as other needful projects they will be assigned to when they get there. Any Hope student may apply to goon the Spring Break Work Project, but priority will likely be given to seniors and others who will not have a chance at this opportunity again. MOCP hopes all members of the Hope community will consider participating in this fundraiser. 4t It only takes a small donation from each person when everyone pitches in together to raise sufficient funds to finance the Work Project," said Laura Meyer, assistant chaplain. The Bethlehem Fund will provide transportation, room and board costs for the Hope students who make the trip, as well as enable them to purchase and provide some tools and materials needed for the Project itself. Any money left over, would be given to the Whiteville community as a gift from Hope. Students are encouraged to consider donating money from books returned or the money saved when skipping a study break snack during exam week. "In other words, we know money's tight, but in the spirit of giving, miracles can happen," Meyer said. Donations to the Bethlehem Fund may be dropped off at the Chaplain's Office or sent through campus mail. Checks should be made payable to Hope College Student Church.
Clothing drive benefits local needy For years, one of the ministries of MOCP and the chaplain's office has been to conduct campus-wide clothing drives. This is done at the close of both semesters—fall and spring. Since students are leaving their residences for the summer at the end of spring term, the clothing drive boxes are always full or overflowing at that time. It can't be stressed enough, however, that the December drive actually meets more of an "emergency" need in the greater Holland community. Low-income families and individuals who benefit from second-hand clothes may well have to weather the cold winter months with less than adequate heat, food and shelter. The clothes collected before
students head home for Christmas will be distributed to those who need them by the Community Action House downtown. Boxes marked "Clothing Drive" will appear in the lounges or lobbies of the residence halls by Dec. 8. Cottage RAs are encouraged to supply boxes or garbage bags of their own for clothing collection, and to bring them (full!) to the chapel. Off-campus students may also bring their contributions to Dimnent Chapel during the last week of classes or during exam week. On behalf of Chaplain's Office, the Ministry of Christ's People wishes to thank in advance all who contribute to meeting needs in the Holland community via the college Christmas Clothing Drive.
