By K^att Nickel s t h e morning chill turned t o a f t e r n o o n heat, t h e Pine Gro\/e began t o fill with couches carried o u t d o o r s , blankets spread o u t . and s t u d e n t s inhabiting t h e s e spaces f o r Spring Fling.

in laid back fashion. The Social A c t i v i t i e s Con-fnittee sponsored event provided a g r e a t environment t o laugh •and enjoy t h e college c o m m u n i t y "As always. Spring Fling was a l o t o f fun." Junior Bethany White said- " I t was nice t o see people relaxing t o g e t h e r and enjoying a d a y o f cancelled classes." S t u d e n t s sprawled, danced, talked, laughed, and j u s t plain had fun. While friends s p e n t a good t i m e eating and enjoying company, t h e K a l a m a z o o b a s e d band Knee Deep S h a g p l a y e d h i g h - e n e r g y , original s o n g s a s a soundtrack f o r Spring Fling memories. "Knee Deep Shag rocked out!" senior Andrew Kleczek s a i d . " I t w a s g r e a t t o h a v e a legitimate rock band on s t a g e t h i s year." A s t h e band played, a body o f s t u d e n t s dancing in f r o n t o f t h e s t a g e grew. They were

a f o o t l o o s e group o f c a r e f r e e s t u d e n t s . whose freewheeling spirit grew contagious. S t u d e n t s bonded t o f o r g e t a b o u t any s t r e s s f u l pre-exam premonitions, and t o o k t h e liberty o f a c t i v i t i e s offered- Among t h e many g a m e s and a c t i v i t i e s were t h e gyrosphere. Jousting, inflatable games like Bungee S h u t t l e Run. an o b s t a c l e course, and t h e pleasure o f making c o l o r f u l wax hands.

The Tradition Tradition and teamwork unite the 104th Pull

By Chuck Whitney •— nergy c o u r s e d t h r o u g h t h e t h r o n g s o f — people gathered on t h e banks o f t h e Black River on Septeniber 22nd. I t was t i m e f o r t h e grand-daddy o f all t u g - o f - w a r s . The 1 0 4 t h Pull, t h e culmination o f a t h r e e week challenge t h a t t e s t e d t h e mind. body, and spirit like nothing else could. Although always intense, t h i s Pull day. was f u r ther energized with a p a t r i o t i c spirit, present in defiance o f t h e t e r r o r i s t a t t a c k s o f September 11th. The looks on t h e f a c e s o f t h e freshmen and sophomore men and women chanting "USA" and focusing their e y e s on t h e flags surrounding t h e p i t s showed t h a t t h i s Pull carried even more weight than usual. The e f f o r t put in by b o t h t e a m s was evident t h e moment t h e s t a r t i n g whistle blew. Odd Year and Even Year were able t o heave t o g e t h e r , and both t e a m s successfully t o o k rope In t h e early going. Although her t e a m was doing well. ' 0 4 morale coach Liz Fothergill knew t h a t teamwork was essential f o r continued success. "Our banner included t h e word, 'ruthless 1 , and t h i s a c t e d as a c o n s t a n t reminder t o work as a powerful unit on every inch-up. heave, and lock-in." The energy in t h e crowds was surging f o r b o t h sides as t h e pullers used every ounce o f their s t r e n g t h in an a t t e m p t t o bring t h e o t h e r end o f t h e rope t o their side and claim victory. B o t h t e a m s gai^e absolutely everything t h e y had. but t h e experience o f t h e sophomore t e a m was t o o much f o r t h e freshmen and t h e rope began t o move t o w a r d s t h e ' 0 4 side.

Even Year eventually gained 2 6 f e e t more rope than ' 0 5 . A f t e r t h i s Pull. ' 0 4 morale coach senior Courtney Munz f e l t t h a t t h i s was t h e m o s t s a t i s f y i n g o f her f o u r years. " I t was more meaningful t o achieve v i c t o r y as a coach than a moraler because we were able t o witness t h e ' 0 4 t e a m finally reach t h e mountain peak t h e y had been striving for." she said. With their mountain climbed, t h e Even Year t e a m was able t o celebrate by enjoying a t r a ditional swim in t h e Black River. Although this was one o f t h e moments m o s t connected t o v ictory. i t was a Iso a t i m e t h a t shows t h e res p e c t t h a t bound t h e t w o opposing Pull t e a m s • t o g e t h e r . A s t h e winning t e a m s t o o d in t h e i Black River t h e y turned t o t h e opposite bank and praised their opponents, knowing t h a t t h o s e men and women g a v e j u s t as much of their body and mind as t h e y did. ' 0 4 m o r a l e coach, s e n i o r A m y W o o l a r d summed up the powerful bond between Even and Odd Year teams. She said, "during Pull I was t r u l y able t o appreciate t h a t It did n o t m a t t e r whether you were Even or Odd. freshman or sophomore, moraler or puller: everyone shares an Intense passion t h a t is impossible f o r anyone else t o understand." A s t h e t w o t e a m s faced each other, one wading in t h e cold and muddy w a t e r o f t h e Black River and t h e other standing on the banks. It was easy t o see what Pull t r u l y means and the •place o f honor t h a t it holds In t h e hearts o f so i many

n t h e s i n g l e T u e s d a y n-iorning o f Septennber 11. our li^es a s Aniericans w e r e unavoidably changed- When news can-ie t h a t two.hijacked airplanes had hit t h e V/orld Trade Center, all a c r o s s Annerica and t h e canipus. no one could focus. S t u d e n t s and f a c u l t y alike were visibly shaken and didn't f e e l q u i t e right continuing w i t h rnundane " s y l l a b u s e d " iterns. Many c l a s s e s t h a t d a y were cancelled, allowing s t u d e n t s t o learn o f and begin t o corne t o t e r m s w i t h t h e t r a g e d y I t was a shocking and unexpected event— no one t h o u g h t t h a t t h i s could ever happen t o AnnericaA s nnany world-conscious people did t h a t day. s t u d e n t s c o n t a c t e d friends and faniily t o check on t h e t n and hear their reactions. The unavoidable q u e s t i o n was: "Did y o u know anyone t h a t was there?" Even though f o r rnany t h e answer was "no", t h e y were nevert h e l e s s deeply a f f e c t e d by t h e events. A s Americans, everyone l o s t b r o t h e r s and sist e r s b u t i t j u s t wasn't t h a t simple. Many had v i s i t e d New Y o r k C i t y , had f r i e n d s who | worked t h e r e or. tragically, worked in t h e V/orld Trade Center itself. A f t e r c o n s t a n t hours o f watching t h e news, t h e initial shock subsided and a t a n g l e o f d i f f e r e n t e m o t i o n s began t o c r e e p in t h e h e a r t s o f people everywhere. "For me. physically. I was completely fine." said junior Nora S t a a l . "Emotionally I was

shocked, shaken t o t h e core, and i t was j u s t one o f t h o s e things t h a t 1 didn't know how t o deal with, and I still don't." A f t e r t h e " a t t a c k on America." t h e Americans s t r u c k back by bombing t h e s u s p e c t e d t e r r o r i s t s . V/hile s o m e s t u d e n t s believe t h a t America f o u g h t back simply t o regain American f r e e d o m and s a f e t y , o t h e r s believe war itself was t h e wrong choice. Sophomore Hennah Khan said. "Can we wash blood away with blood? Is i t right t o be fighting a war o f our own principals in someone else's homeland? If we are t h e m o s t powerful nation in t h e world, shouldn't we be s e t t i n g an example, by p r e a c h i n g t h e p e a c e t h a t v^e s o d e s p e r a t e l y desire?" Some Americans supported P r e s i d e n t Bush's s w i f t and d e c i s i v e c o u n t e r - a t t a c k s on t e r r o r i s m while o t h e r s simply hoped f o r justice, peace, and security. Nevertheless, a newfound p a t r i o t i s m inspired Americans througho u t t h e globe t o place t h e i r American flags in plain view. S t u d e n t s t a p e d flags on residence hall windows and wore red. white, and blue ribbons t o class. Even backpacks were adorned with S t a r s and S t r i p e s a s s t u d e n t s ' p e r s o n a l , and s t r o n g s t a n d against t h e t e r r o r i s m t h a t had a f f e c t e d t h e entire country.

Just for Fun By B e t h a n y W h i t e

Intramural sports became a popular pastime for students

otnewhere between classes, hon-iework. and a ^ a s t a r r a y o f e x t r a - c u r r i c u l a r activities, s t u d e n t s found t h e t i m e t o be involved in a t least one o f 2 6 mtran-iural s p o r t s . Groups o f friends or even s t r a n g e r s arranged theniselves into t e a m s t o play specific s p o r t s and faithfully competed throughout t h e year. Faculty member Anne Irwin said. "The purpose o f t h e Hope College intramural program is t o provide an opportunity f o r all s t u d e n t s , faculty, and s t a f f , regardless o f skill level, t o take p a r t in a well-organized program o f sporting activities." Intramural t e a m s are open t o s t u d e n t s , f a c u l t y and alumni. Since anyone is allowed t o join, over s e v e n t y percent o f s t u d e n t s have been involved in an intramural s p o r t a t some point during their 81 co I lege career. This year, half t h e s t u d e n t body, played a t l e a s t one intramural s p o r t , although m o s t were involved in t w o or more. Also, t h e number o f women playing was a l m o s t t h e same as t h e number o f men. Irwin said. "Our annual goal is t o o f f e r a program t h a t will be a t t r a c t i v e t o a t least half o f our s t u d e n t b o d y " Some newer additions t o t h e program were I n t e r t u b e Water Polo and U l t i m a t e Frisbee. A number o f co-ed t e a m s o p t e d f o r both o f these. Women's indoor soccer, an old favorite, proved a competitive field- Sophomore Cara Tarantino. of t h e t e a m "The Angels" said. "Sometimes t h e games g o t brutal. The competition was fierce b u t it was always a l o t

S

o f fun." The Angel's season was f r u i t f u l as t h e y won t h e indoor women's soccer championship. M o s t o f t h e t e a m members had played soccer in high school and enjoyed their t i m e with t h e game again. Tarantino said. " I t was fun t o play a s p o r t with my friends. I t was g r e a t t o play soccer again, a s p o r t I wouldn't otherwise g e t t o play a t college." M a n y s t u d e n t s use i n t r a m u r a l s a s an opportunity t o continue a f a v o r i t e s p o r t f r o m high school. Sophomore Erica Viegalahn has played volleyball f o r t h e p a s t t w o years as an intramural sport. She said. "I played volleyball through high school and I don't play on t h e t e a m here due t o t i m e constraints. Intramurals are a good way t o play a s p o r t w ithout t h e long-term commitment o f playing on a school team-" While s o m e s t u d e n t s play i n t r a m u r a l s specifically f o r t h e competition and challenges involved, o t h e r s play t o relax. Sophomore Haley Martin, a member o f t h e swim team, said "It's a g r e a t o p p o r t u n i t y t o play a s p o r t in college without t h e pressure of a v a r s i t y team"M o s t s t u d e n t s t h a t play intramural games are dedicated t o their t e a m and play as o f t e n as twice a week. Regardless o f t h e d i f f e r e n t motives f o r joining t h e teams, everyone enjoys themselves, whether t h e y consider i t a quick s t u d y break, a hard physical challenge, or a healthy dose o f both-

Battling Bands 89.9 WTHS sponsored the third annual Battle of the Bands

By Rebekah Oegeina e\/en bands. One night. When t h e l i g h t s *A/ent d o w n on t h e Knickerbocker Theatre on t h e third annual B a t t l e o f t h e Bands, it was tinne f o r seven local bands t o show their s t u f f . The c o n t e s t was s p o n s o r e d by &Q.Q WTHS and originated in 1 9 9 9 with t h e purpose o f exposing local bands t o t h e coirniunity while aiding publicity f o r t h e radio s t a t i o n . ^ T h e Dutch Mafia, Sn-iash Your Radio. Thei Obsessed Deformed Bullfrogs, Antelope Mutiny. Lylel. Chris Bryan, and Despondent were chosen o u t o f f o u r t e e n bands by audition or CD submission With criteria such as originality, musicality and presentation. The bands competed f o r a $ lOO g i f t c e r t i f i c a t e t o M u s i c G a l a x y in Kalamazoo and a chance t o record some o f their music in t h e WTHS recording s t u dio. According t o senior Josiah Dykstra, t h e t u r n o u t was surprising. "The audience response was outstanding, far greater than we had anticipated: every year we draw bands f r o m a larger radius." N o t only was t h e audience t h e r e t o supp o r t their f a v o r i t e band, but t h e y also aided t h e Holland Rescue Mission by either donating $ 3 or 2 cans o f f o o d a t t h e door. Over $ 8 0 0 dollars and 2 0 0 cans o f f o o d were collected and given t o t h e Holland Rescue Mission.

Each band was a l l o t t e d t e n minutes t o perform their s e t . The audience then used ballots t o v o t e f o r their f a v o r i t e , t h e v o t e s were counted, and t h e winner was called back t o play f o r an additional f i f t e e n minutes. This year's winner was sophomore solo a r t i s t Chris Bryan. The bands represented a wide range o f musical s t y l e s : f r o m acoustic solo guit a r t o c l a s s i c r o c k - n - r o l l , and f r o m electronica t o 'hard-core 1 . N o t only was t h e music diverse, b u t t h i s year's B a t t l e was t h e f i r s t t o h o s t bands t h a t were n o t f r o m Hope College. Smash Your Radio are a local band f r o m t h e Holland area, and Despondent is a band o f high s c h o o l s t u d e n t s f r o m Kalamazoo. P a r t o f t h e wider t u r n o u t was from, according t o Dykstra. "more publicity and previous a t t e n d e e s who helped bring up attendance." Junior James Pierce, o f Lylel, said, "the Knickerbocker t h e a t r e is t h e p e r f e c t venue f o r B a t t l e o f t h e Bands. I t ' s downtown and it draws both s t u d e n t s and locals. Erik Alberg and his crew put everything t o g e t h e r very well. It's a blast f o r us t o play there". WTHS planned t o h o s t t h e B a t t l e o f t h e Bands t r a d i t i o n in t h e following y e a r s , and aims t o continue providing t h e community with college and local music.

Senior Captain Brian A d b f f said. "Going ^ into t h e ganie we knew we were t h e t e a n i 3 t o beat. Whereas t h e l a s t couple o f y e a r s i t was vise versa- We also knew in o r d e r t o b e a t Albion a t hon-ie. we were going t o ha^e t o play a nearly p e r f e c t ganne." Although t h e t e a n i l o s t a tough ganie t o Albion, t h e s e a s o n w a s s u c c e s s f u l f o r t h o s e who participated and niany a t h l e t e s frorn t h e Dutchnien t e a n i were recognized f o r their excellent e f f o r t t h r o u g h o u t t h e

"AH o f t h e ganies I played helped in gaining experience, and also gaining confidence.

Talent THuinphs The volleyball team's depth creates a winning and rewarding season

By Kara VanAssen e goaL f a s t e R tFiajsr eveR ConiRabeRie w e Re iN t u i s t o g e t n e R ÂŤ h e v o l l e y b a l l t e a n i catrie o u t s t r o n g again t h i s year, l l i e y returned nine l e t t e r winners f r o n i last years tean-i. and vve loomed three freshmen. Hie t e a m was probably t h e m o s t t a l e n t e d and deep t h a t it had been in years. Every player played a key role in t h e t e a m ' s success. Ho^vever. t h e r e were some s t a n d o u t s t h i s season. Among t h e m W'as sophomore Katie Hall, t h e only Dutch named t o t h e MIAA player of t h e week Honor Roll in Week ^ 4 of t h e season. O t h e r individual e f f o r t s included f r e s h m a n McKenna Troyan placing f i r s t in t h e MIAA f o r hitting percentages per game as well as in t h e t o p five athletes f o r a s s i s t s . Junior Martha Luidens made t h e t o p ten IvMA hitting percentage list as well as averaging three kills per game, enough t o s e t her in t h e t o p o f the league. Other s t a n d o u t s f o r Hope included Junior. Amy Brower and sen lor fvio I ly Henson who p laced in t h e t o p five service aces f o r t h e league t h i s year. A s \A/ell as t h e s e astounding honors, t h e women's volleyball t e a m had five all MIAA t e a m members: senior Amy Brower (also v o t e d as t h e M W V s MVP) and junior Kara VanAssen were named t o t h e f i r s t team:Juniors Laura Hahnfeld and Martha Luidens were named t o t h e second: and senior Molly Henson received honorable mention. Dutch volleyball also continued t h e t r a d i t i o n o f excellence a f t e r taking t h e conference t i t l e f o r t h e second s t r a i g h t year. Their in-league record was 11-3 losing t i g h t matches t o Alma. Calvin, and Kalamazoo. The losses t o Alma and Kalamazoo were avenged by t h e Dutchmen later in t h e season. Overall, the Dutch record was 2 0 - 1 4 with only one loss on their c o u r t a t t h e Dow.

Although winning appears t o be a t r a d i t i o n f o r t h e women a t Hope, many other t r a d i t i o n s were kept in line also. The "Eye o f t h e Tiger" has continued t o be t h e t e a m ' s motivational song and a tiger cape is worn by a d i f f e r e n t player during t h e warm-ups o f each game. Sophomore Katherine Hall said. "I loved g e t t i n g t h e cape. I t was fun t o know t h a t one o f your t e a m m a t e s picked you t o have it." For some s t u d e n t s t h e pregame warmups make t h e memories. For o t h e r s t h e experience of being among some o f t h e g r e a t e s t a t h l e t e s in t h e nation s t o o d o u t t h e m o s t . A highlight f o r t h e Dutch t h i s year was t h e opportunity t o play a t t h e Central College tournament. For junior Martha Luidens t h e trip was a highlight and good learning experience f o r hei^ and her teammates. Luidens said. "During t h a t weekend we definitely competed with some o f t h e t o p t e a m s in t h e nation, and we learned a l o t about our own abilities as a t e a m and in comparison t o our nation's t o p opponents. One of t h e m o s t important pieces we learned was t h a t we could comp e t e with t h e s e very s t r o n g teams. The match t h a t we won we played outstanding and I feel we t r u l y came t o g e t h e r as a team!'

OO 1 was a phenonienal year for the rnen's varsity soccer teani. With a final season record of 16-3- 1. the Flying Dutchrnen tied the school's record for wins in a season and can-ie within reach of several other records. Tallying 6 S goals on the year, with goals by 2 1 different players. This year's Dutchnien were only 5 goals away fron-i tying the school's record for the niost goals in a single season. one shutout away from tying the school's 9 year winsby-shutout record, and with 13 goals scored against. The Dutchnien were was 2 goals away fron-i tying the school's single season record for the fewest goals scored by opponents. To say t h a t the 2 0 0 1 rnen's varsity soccer teani was good would be a serious understaten-ient. Ending up with a second place finish in the MIAA. the Dutchnien felljust shy of an autoinatic bid into the NCAA Division 111 National Tournanient. The bid was awarded t o MIAA league 'chanipion. Kalaniazoo College, who dealt the Dutchnien two of their three losses, one of which was an overtinie thriller dorninated by Hope. Had it not been for a late season, double-overtime loss t o Alnia. Hope would have had a very solid chance of receiving an at-large bid into the National Tournanient. Despite the disappointment. Players were not looking back a t a missed opportunity, but looking ahead t o a successful season in 2002The season boasted a tremendous team e f f o r t , as well as many marked moments of excellence for certain individuals. These e f f o r t s were recognized a t the end of the season as the MIAA handed out All-Conference nominations t o athletes. The Dutchmen had four players named t o the f i r s t MIAA team: sophomore Ed Huebner, senior Tim Keeler. senior Jon Kucinski. and junior goalkeeper Marcus Voss (who was also named a third team All-American). AH-MIAA second team nominations included junior M a t t Margaron as well as norable mentions t o junior Tim Kelly and senior Andrew Riker. Junior Marcus Voss. one of the team's leaders says t h a t their success happened because, "each person had a role and played it t o their ability. Guys accepted where they f i t and made it happen, and it takes an entire team of t h a t attitude t o do as well as we did this past season." Several of the season's best memories came from firsts. During the summer prior t o the 2 0 0 1 season, the entire team of returning players took their f i r s t team trip abroad. Visiting the countries of Germany. Austria. Switzerland. Italy, and the Netherlands, the returners had the bonding experience of a lifetime. Within the beautiful setting of the Alps and other European sites, the Dutchmen toured.

practiced, and played five games in a two week span, leaving Europe with an unblemished record of 5-0. A new. 3 - 5 - 2 formation was also a f i r s t for the team- With the impressive s t a t i s t i c s of 2 0 0 1. not many could argue against the success of the new formation. Another f i r s t for the team was the bright new orange "away" jerseys. Though orange jerseys were worn in high school by a group of five of Hope's top players, the brilliant color was a f i r s t for most others. Much t o the player's dismay, and likely t o the fans' as wel I. the jerseys were not showcased more than once a t the home fieldOther season highlights came from traditions, spaghetti dinners. team excursions t o the bowling alley and billiards hall, crushing Calvin twice, and the remarkable crowd support, which included stands overflowing With faithful spectators, rowdy fans, drums, noise makers, streamers, wizards, and jesters. Losing five valuable seniors was difficult for the Dutchmen as they looked ahead t o the season in 2 0 0 2 - However, expectations remained high. Jr. Marcus Voss believes. "Next year...wlth the team we have right now along with the next year's incoming freshmen and transfers, Hope is going t o be team t h a t can not g*L be taken lightly. I beleive t h a t if we don't claim the MIAA championship we will have fallen below not only our expectations but also, ability. And once we make the tournament we will have the ability t o go as far as we want." With a large group of talented sophomores and juniors this year, as well as promising freshmen, and a wish list of strong recruits, the Dutchmen would be a force t o reckon with in 2 0 0 2 -

Head coaches Leigh Sears and Lindsay Englesman incited Gretchen Tanis and Kate Fair, both forrner Dutch soccer players. Kate Fair began working with t h e goalies and Gretchen Tanis helped Leigh and Lindsay with t h e r e s t o f t h e team. They added enthusiasm and direction t o the t e a m and were excited about t h e new season. A f t e r n o t lining up t o potential last year, t h e Dutch were determined t o make a difference on the field and t o improve their team- Knowing this, t h e y made i t through t r y - o u t s and looked f o r w a r d t o s t a r t i n g o u t with a bang on a pre-season trip t o Pennsylvania. On the long eight hour bus ride, "We all traveled t o g e t h e r t o Pennsylvania.

hen s p e c t a t o r s go t o an MIAA cross country rneet. it is impossible n o t t o notice t h a t these wonien are a powerhouse. When coach Northuis s a y s " l e t ' s g e t loaded" a t t h e beginning o f each p r a c t i c e , f o u r t y - e i g h t women pile on t h e bus. These women dominate j u s t about any race. They were very enthusiastic, with t h e cry "who let t h e Dutch out" before ei^ery race. The t e a m had an action packed season. There were many exciting highlights t o t h e season. In the ^ery f i r s t m e e t a t t h e Hope Invite. the Dutch proved themselves with a vict o r y . Senior Sarah Golden was f i r s t f o r t h e Dutch with a third place finish. Some welcome surprises were freshmen Tina Pike and Martha B o w e n s who b o t h had e x c e l l e n t f i n i s h e s . Midseason a t t h e f i r s t MIAA jamboree sophomore Martha Graham finished eleventh, and Junior captain Kristen P o s t finished f o u r t e e n t h . Later in the season junior Katie Veldman and senior Jenna Anderson had excellent finishes t o help achieve a g r e a t overall score. These women were very important p a r t s of t h e overall success of the season. Despite all t h e emphasis on individual finishes, cross country really is a t e a m sport. Freshman Tna Pike said it best. "I think our supp o r t f o r one another contributes t o success as a team- Vou cannot run a race f o r yourself or i by yourself. To succeed you need t o support your t e a m m a t e s and encourage t h e m during training and racing. Support and encouragement makes i t easier t o accomplish your personal

goals and goals f o r t h e team-" The final component required t o round o u t any t e a m was t h e coach. Pike mentioned t h a t in order f o r success t h e y needed t e a m unity, as well as t h e motivation provided by t h e coach. "Our coach influences our performances by encouraging us t o work hard- He believes in us which in turn makes it easier t o believe in ourselves and easier t o succeed- He knows our goals and takes t h e t i m e t o come up with a plan t h a t will work f o r us. J u s t knowing how much work, e f f o r t , and time t h a t Coach has invested into the t e a m is motivation enough f o r each race." Pike said. The t e a m was held t o g e t h e r by it's many wacky traditions. Half-way through the season there was a corn cob relay in which groups of t e a m a t e s used corncobs f o r batons. Other t r a d i t i o n s were t h e daily cup f i g h t s on the bus ride t o and f r o m practice, dips in Lake Michigan w a t e r s a f t e r practices, and g r a f f i t i day when t e a m m a t e s w r o t e all over each other's t - s h i r t s in permanent marker.

The tearn has worked diligently all year t o obtain t h e goals t h e y have s e t f o r theniselves t h i s year. Beginning in August, t h e cheerleaders t r a v i eled t o a carnp in Wisconsin t o in-iprove their skills and work with o u t s t a n d i n g cheerleaders and coaches f r o r n all over t h e nation. A t t h i s can-ip. t h e y were r e w a r d e d f o r their e f f o r t s by receiving an O u t s t a n d i n g Tean-i t r o p h y and placing second in t h e Fight Song Con-ipetition. This season t h e cheer tean-i placed eighth in t h e national collegiate charnpionships. I t was a d i f f i c u l t c o m p e t i t i o n t o prepare f o r as t h e cheer t e a m was already busy practicing f o r t h e f o o t b a 11 and basketba 11 seasons. Th is t i m e c o m m i t m e n t , as well as t h e energy p u t f o r t h a t each practice was a t e s t i m o n y t o t h e dedication o f every individual on t h e team- Since the already lengthy practices c o n s i s t e d m o s t l y o f s t u n t work and cheers e x t r a t i m e was required f r o m each member o f t h e t e a m t o l i f t weights and run in o r d e r t o t r a i n f o r t h e national competition.

Although t i m e and energy were a m u s t have f o r cheerleaders, cheering was a s p o r t t h a t built t r u s t as well as friendship. Squad members relied on their t e a m m a t e s in every cheer and s t u n t performed. T i l s t r u s t s t r e n g t h ened friendships t h a t were already been built by t h e number o f hours s p e n t t o g e t h e r working as a t e a m . T i e Dutch cheer t e a m n o t only s p e n t e v e r y night practicing and cheering on weekends: t h e y also organized a c t i v i t i e s t o d o t o g e t h e r in t h e i r f r e e time.

T i i s is s o m e t h i n g only cheerleaders can eryoy!" Cheerleading was eryoyable in i t s e l f , b u t t h e experience was even m o r e valuable because t h e t e a m f o r m e d a familial bond.

Sophon-iore sports editor Kristi Creswell was on the Milestone editorial s t a f f last year. S t a f f nienibers were involved in niany activities such as Resident Assistants, sports, dance, theater, and nnusic. They had t o balance weekly office hours, meetings, and a lot of hard work t o create the yearbook. The s t a f f also spent late nights finishing up for deadlines. With a r e t r e a t a t the end of f i r s t semester and numerous bonding experiences they knew each other and worked together well by the end of the school year. "Yearbook is rewarding." said Katie Klein. "The s t a f f g e t s t o know interesting people and write history f r o m our perspective. It's a personal history book and scrap book f o r the whole college. When the book is in our hands it will be good, but when we take it o f f a shelf in t w e n t y years it will be great."

QSF ContlKiwes Mnoff icially by Katie Klein

This year the group known as the Gay-Straight Forum continued on unofficially to keep active discussion about homosexuality alive. Throughout the year the group held weekly meetings open to the campus so students could talk about issues related to homosexuality. The leadership and supporters spent countless hours during the first semester applying to the school for recognition. Although disappointed by the result, the group continued to meet unofficially the second semester. "After we stopped spending so much time trying to get recognized, we could put more time into preparing topics and inviting speakers to get discussion rolling." said sophomore Jessica Honeysett. During the second semester added organization of the group was primarily due to the new leadership structure that was implemented. The team of leaders each took certain of the group brainstormed discussion topics to gather information or invite a knowledgeable speaker. Most weeks a speaker presented information about a topic for half an hour then the group could respond with any c o m m e n t s or questions to talk about together. Junior Anna Mullendore said, "I appreciated the respectful dialogue that took place - both sides of the issue recognized that all present were from different views, backgrounds, and had different reasons for coming to the meetings. I think overall the unofficial form of this group was beneficial to all." Some ot the topics discussed were homosexuality and Christianity, gay marriage, coming out at Hope, and dialogue about Anchor editorials. At the end ot the year the group was stronger than ever, and hopeful about the possibilities for the group through the recently released report from the Sexuality Task Force.

Student Groups Help Outside Community by Courtney Klein This year students were trying to m a k e a d i f f e r e n c e in the c o m m u n i t y outside the college. The Fraternal Society participated in an event with the children f r o m C A S A , taking them to a p e r f o r m a n c e at the Knickerboker Theater, playing games with them at the D o w , and treating them to dinner at the Fraternal Society cottage. As the year continued, the Fraternal Society joined forces with the Black Student Union and the Hispanic Student Organization to raise m o n e y f o r Latecia C a r m o n a - A l v a r e z , a local w o m a n battling L y m p h o m a . C a r m o n a - Alvarez had to remain in Ann A r b o r f o r t w o m o n t h s while receiving a bone marrow transplant. In order to raise m o n e y , these three groups hosted the Pure T h e r a p y Salon and Day Spa. Most of the $1,000 raised f r o m the event went into a f u n d to help C a r m o n a Alvarez and her family. This salon event was not the only event in which the three organizations c a m e together. A mixer was planned for all of the c a m p u s c o m m u n i t y . "The dance allowed people lo interact with other people while having fun and raising m o n e y f o r a g o o d reason," said j u n i o r A b b i e Gonzales, president of H S O . Senior Nick Grinzinger, Fraternal Society president, also supported the mixer as he was also on the planning committee. "The mixer will be open to all, we are planning on having a very good turnout after s o m e advertising," Grinzinger said. The importance of volunteering was recognized especially by the Fraternal Society, w h o were hoping to establish and maintain contact with the c o m m u n i t y . " W e decided this year to take an interactive role in the c o m m u n i t y because we believe that H o p e and the surrounding c o m m u n i t y have so much to o f f e r each other, but we also understand that there needs to be that initial interaction," Grinzinger said. Gonzales also supported interaction with the community, and those in it. "I think that [volunteer efforts] will give people a sense of pride and it might lend the thought to other people that they can help regular people in the c o m m u n i t y w h o are suffering," Gonzales said. "Volunteering also helps make a more well rounded person, w h o nurtures relationships and b e c o m e s more actively involved in their community. There was also praise for e x p a n d i n g the diversity on the c a m p u s through volunteering itsell. 1 think that any volunteering outside of [the college] will help the c o m m u n i t y see that we are interested in what the c o m m u n i t y has to offer. Hopefully, more people will see that H o p e College is interested in diversity and in also representing minority student organizations and what they have to contribute," G o n z a l e s said. Grinzinger also believed that H o p e had a future in the recognition of diversity. "All you have to d o is read T h e A n c h o r to see that diversity is a huge issue on c a m p u s right now. [The college] is "behind the times" with respect to many issues concerning diversity but I think that the school is ready to m a k e steps in the right direction. So, as leaders on c a m p u s we feel that we have an obligation to bring diversity and understanding to the forefront. Diversity is liberating and is of utmost importance to a liberal arts education institution. Grinzinger said. Theie are many opportunities for volunteering in the c o m m u n i t y for the campus. "What makes any group b e c o m e interested in volunteering? T h e fact that they can help people that need help." Gonzales said.

Ny^er^ Event Ends in '04 Win in 2001 by Erica Heeg The 67th Annual Nykerk C u p Competition ended in victory for the Class of 2004 on Saturday, November 3, at the Holland Civic Center. Both teams presented a song, oration and play for a panel of nine judges. The competition culminated a month of hard work for both even and odd years. This year more than 325 freshman and sophomores took part in the tradition. Senior publicity chair for the 2001 Nykerk Executive Committee Marta Liang was very pleased with the evening. "The Nykerk spirit and excitement are in the air," Liang said. 2005 Song, which consisted of 113 freshman women, presented the song "My Guy". "The Genuine Treatment" was the title of freshman Gretchen Schmidt's 2005 Oration. And the 2005 Play, "The Disconbobulated Fairytale," was presented by a cast of fourteen f r e s h m a n w o m e n . 2004 Song, which consisted of fifty-two sophomore women, presented "This Little Light of Mine." Orator sophomore Meredith De Avila delivered "With a Bold Step," and the 2004 Play cast of fifteen presented " T h e r e ' s N o Place Like Hope." The Sophomores got the taste of victory that they were not able to attain last year, when odd year was victorious. 2004 Play Moraler Seth DeVries was savoring his first Nykerk victory. "I feel pretty good. This is the second year I ' v e done Nykerk and winning this year was incredible. It was like redeeming ourselves." DeVries said. Even year orator De Avila was also feeling fantastic. "I got up on stage, and I nailed every motion and every word. It was there, and I was at ease. It was a lot of work but it was totally worth it, she said. 2004 Song girl Tiffany Zylstra echoed De A v i l a ' s and DeVries' excitement. "Oh my gosh. It is incredible. I am so completely astounded and so relieved," Zylstra said. Excitement was not just reserved for the winners of the competition though. For some 2005 Nykerk participants, not winning did not matter. 2005 Song girl Melissa Gifford was still ecstatic about the night s performances. "I feel good. It was still fun to lose, and I ' m definitely going to do it again next year, Gilford said. The 2001 Nykerk program notes that, "Nykerk is not inherently about competition, but about friendships and showcasing talents." This was made apparent by both the ' 0 4 and '05 teams as they "met in the middle after the winner was announced and then partied together afterwards at the Kletz. For Liang, who has taken part in the tradition for four years, Nykerk has been a big part of her Hope College experience. "All four years have been fabulous. It gets better and better every year," Liang said.

According to Heather B o u w m a n of the W o m e n on T r a c k p r o g r a m , t w o students are helping the p r o g r a m assist y o u n g girls. Girls on the Run p r o g r a m w a s f o u n d e d for 3rd-5th g r a d e girls as a prevention p r o g r a m dealing with teen pregnancy, eating disorders, and substance abuse. A f t e r the success ot that program. W o m e n on Track was founded to help sixth g r a d e girls specifically. " T h e W o m e n on T r a c k p r o g r a m is an experencial curriculum that c o m b i n e s book k n o w l e d g e with activity," Heather B o u w m a n , director of the p r o g r a m said. W o m e n on T r a c k incorporates m a n y activities, in w h i c h the girls can keep learning about issues, while also training for their run. " T h e y d o a relay w a r m - u p or d o s o m e t h i n g as a team, that e n c o u r a g e s working as a team. W e try to meet a goal, or an incentive to k e e p t h e m running, B o u w m a n said. This program was designed as an after-school p r o g r a m for ten to t w e l v e w e e k s , in w h i c h sixth graders w o u l d learn about the issues that affect them, while also training for a 5 K run. which w r a p s up the p r o g r a m itself. T h e one hundred girls w h o have participated will then run. " W e h a v e classes next w e e k , then the culminating event on D e c e m b e r 8th is a 5 K run called the 'Jingle Bell R u n , ' in w h i c h the girls all w e a r jingle bell bracelets and receive N e w Balance running shoes," B o u w m a n said. W o m e n on Track is an International p r o g r a m , and was first f o u n d e d in Charlotte, North Carolina w h e r e the program is based. Molly Bancer, a f o u r time Hawaii I r o n m a n Triathlete, with a M a s t e r s in Social W o r k , worked with adolescent f e m a l e s . It w a s during that time w h e n she realized there was a need to develop a program that dealt with issues such as eating disorders. T h e m o n e y for the p r o g r a m and its w o i k e t s partly c a m e f r o m $ 2 5 , 0 0 0 received f r o m the N o k o m i s F o u n d a t i o n , granting a request by D o n n a Cornwall for f u n d s . The program in Holland had o p e n enrollment, and is located in the W e s t Ottawa School District. The Center for W o m e n in Transition b e c a m e the agent for the p r o g r a m , and is w h e r e W o m e n on T r a c k was located. Students f r o m the college were involved with C W I T not only with this program, but also with other volunteering positions such as the Crisis Line, and in various capacities through the Social W o r k 01 Psychology departments.

New StwdeKit Activities - Every Tuesday by Jen T r o k e and J a m i e Pierce Students looking to get a w a y f r o m h o m e w o r k or take u p a new hobby had a new option with S o m e t h i n g Every T u e s d a y , a n e w p r o g r a m f r o m the O f f i c e of Student Activities. S o m e t h i n g Every T u e s d a y offered a " n e w and exciting" event every T u e s d a y night at 8 p m in the Kletz. T h e events varied f r o m cooking to selt-defense, and they were all free. A n y n e e d e d supplies were p r o v i d e d along with r e f r e s h m e n t s . The idea originated with D i a n a B r e c l a w , director of student activities. She asked students what activities they would be interested in the most, and the list of events evolved f r o m that. "I wanted to d o this for a while but never had the staff to help m e out with it," B r e c l a w said. " A n d I really w a n t e d something where students could learn new skills and h a v e f u n and meet p e o p l e and h a v e an experience that they could try something new. Senior Heather F o w l e r helped B r e c l a w i m p l e m e n t the program. T h e y put a lot of time and energy into marketing to p r o m o t e the p r o g r a m , i n c l u d i n g s e n d i n g b r o c h u r e s to s t u d e n t s ' r o o m s and posting information on Knowhope. The p r o g r a m ' s first event w a s s w i n g d a n c i n g . A r o u n d seventy-five students s h o w e d up, which was m u c h more than Breclaw and F o w l e r anticipated. T h e y received good turn-outs at every event. Other events included " L o o k i n ' S t y l i n ' , " g r o o m i n g and beauty tips; " C o o k i n g G o u r m e t for L e s s ; ' and H o w to Knit. I just want people to feel like they can c o m e , " B r e c l a w said. " Y o u d o n ' t need to bring a friend to c o m e to this; you II meet people w h e n you c o m e . A n d w e ' r e going to really facilitate getting to k n o w people, so just try it out, take a risk, c o m e m e e t n e w p e o p l e . "

I Fall too Fast by J e n n i f e r N y e n h u i s

This is my fourth attempt. I never expected the others to fail. With each that passes, I lose a part of myself. My innocence. My heart. Each time seems easier than the last. I fall too fast.

1 am at this stage again. Wanting so badly for this one to be forever. D i a m o n d ring and a dress. You may kiss the bride. I'm confident this time. Everything is different.. .better. Forget the past. I fall too fast.

Can't move on. Leave it all behind. Kiss them goodbye. Walk away, for the last time. Erase the memories. Give me back my innocence, my heart. Focus on this one and make it last. Fall fast.

Chatter at two am.

by L a u r e n Jensen

A green light flashes hope for thwarted love lost in the cynisism of war. H a n d s reach out through darkness to be guided, to be touched, to be held by disintegrated dreams, and decayed promises of vanished past.

Hands disappear into pickets of deep blue denim blue. And the rising out of the ocean they embrace a lint covered heart in the shape of a new nation.

Pointing up past the confrontation of a scorching sun, rests the accord of a glacial moon. Words freeze like stars in the night sky, and eyes search for the Big Dipper.

Cheeks blush roses in the presence of beauty. A divine spotlight projects shades of pink across the heavens, and Mother Nature gracefully rides her chariot down its plush red carpet. •••••••

Fading into the obsecurity of an uncharted doom, falls a single star. A sunken wish floats in a puddle of grace, and hand opens to find another.

Before Dinner By Jennifer Nyenhuis

I have to write a paper and go to a meeting at eight. Plan a party. Wrap the presents. Decorations. Guest list. Red Vine licorice is my favorite. This book must be read by Thursday; better start studying for that exam. Hair appointment on Friday. A cheeseburger from Burger King sounds so good right now. Party tomorrow night; what am I going to wear? Stop biting your fingernails and pay that credit card bill. Call M o m and email the boys. Forty minutes until dinner. I hope they're serving spaghetti, and garlic bread, and pineapple.

Ben Stein Addresses Campus by James Pierce

Ben Stein c a m e to c a m p u s on a Tuesday and left on Thursday, as often happens with speakers in the Student Congress Speaker Series. The time in between Stein's arrival and departure, though, was described as " a m a z i n g " and "the highlight of the y e a r " by senior A m y Avery, c h a i r p e r s o n of the Speaker Series Task Force, and senior Matt Scogin, Student Congress president. " H e was here for two nights," Scogin said. " H e spent time on campus, he spent time with students, he played frisbee with students, he checked his email in the library - it was just cool." Stein could be frequently seen obliging students' requests for p i c t u r e s and a u t o g r a p h s , and w a s also spotted pounding nails at Habitat for H u m a n i t y ' s Habifest event on the DeWitt Patio. "There was nobody he would turn d o w n f o r a picture or an autograph or anything," said Avery, w h o also chaired last y e a r ' s c o m m i t t e e to bring M a y a Angelou to c a m p u s for the series. "In the middle of checking his e-mail he would get up and take a picture with somebody. I thought it would get really old and really annoying at first for him and he totally would do it. W h e n we first brought him here it was almost 10:30 p m and he didn't want to check in. H e wanted to go meet people. He was just really excited to be here."

2 , 0 4 juNioR class

E v e n after the fact, Scogin felt that H o p e students were still saying positive things about the B e n Stein visit, and it seems that the college had left a lasting impression on Stein himself. " H e e-mailed m e and told m e that he wants to live in Holland," Scogin said. " H e said it's the w a r m center of the universe and he's like, 'Forget Malibu, forget Miami, forget Washington D.C., I want to m o v e to Holland.'" Avery relates a similar sentiment f r o m Stein. " H e really loved it," Avery said. " H e told m e yesterday that he was speaking at Baldwin-Wallace College in Cleveland, and he said he didn't think it was going to be one tenth as good as H o p e w a s . " C o m p a r e d to 2000-2001 school year speech f r o m M a y a Angelou, which had a price tag larger than Stein's $20,000 fee, Avery and Scogin described 2002 installment of the speaker series as much more student oriented. They felt that this y e a r ' s was more in line with h o w the speaker series was supposed to be, since it was essentially financed with the Student Activities Fee. Scogin estimated the audience in Dimnent at around 1,300, most of w h o m were students. " H e was asking us afterward, ' H o w m a n y people go to H o p e ? ' and we said about 3,000, and so he said 'Holy cow, that's almost half of the student body.' It will be hard to top next year," Scogin said.

Words From a Disgruntled Eraser By C h a d Lutke

You only use m e w h e n y o u w a n t s o m e t h i n g gone. I give a n d give, and you u s e m e to t a k e and take and take. B e c a u s e of me, you are error free, and c o m e off as distinguished and intelligent. If they only knew. W h e r e you w o u l d be without m e ? M y g u e s s w o u l d be that you would not leave your r o o m for f e a r of the world finally realizing n o w what a p o o r spellor and writer you is. 1 give you f r e e d o m and c o n f i d e n c e to s h o w off y o u r full potential, by taking a w a y half of y o u r thoughts. T h e p r o b l e m with m e is that I w o r k so well. I d o m y j o b so you can d o yours better. To m e y o u r thoughts are great, but e m b a r r a s s m e n t and f e a r of ridicule have forced you to use me. M y counterpart gives your t h o u g h t s the w o r d s you m e a n to say, but it is you that uses m e against h i m . T h e m o r e you use him though, the closer he gets to m e , and what d o w e d o w h e n inevitable w e meet, that is if you h a v e not thrown us out already. You are the one that brings the problems, and are the o n e a l w a y s in error w h e n you u s e m e to clear all y o u r problems. Luckily for m e you must turn this in, or you would probably use m e to erase this too. Well, I have t w o w o r d s f o r you... ERASE THIS!

H o p e submitted a self-report to the National Collegiate Athletic Association and the M I A A , i n f o r m i n g both affiliations that an error had occurred in interpreting the academic record of a transfer student and her eligibility to compete. "We deeply regret that an unintentional error by college personnel in the interpretation of a transfer student's academic record resulted in the participation of an ineligible swimmer," said President J a m e s Bultman in a statement. College officials said that the error occurred after the season had concluded. T h e n a m e of the ineligible s w i m m e r was not released. B e c a u s e of the incident, and the information that was presented to the M I A A , the results of the 2 0 0 2 M I A A W o m e n ' s S w i m m i n g C h a m p i onships were changed to r e m o v e the ineligible s w i m m e r f r o m all of the events in which she competed.

Yoga CI wb Comes to Campus By Angela Matusiak

A new g r o u p on c a m p u s o f f e r e d its m e m b e r s a f u n w a y to relieve stress, i m p r o v e flexibility, and lower blood pressure. T h i s g r o u p w a s the Yoga Club. It met all year long, and received a p p r o v a l to be an o f f i c i a l c l u b right b e f o r e C h r i s t m a s break. T h e club w a s f o u n d e d by senior J e n n i f e r Shutes, and its m e m b e r s met on T u e s d a y s to d o y o g a videos. T h e club w a s m e t with surprising e n t h u s i a s m fall semester, with a r o u n d s e v e n t y p e o p l e at the first m e e t i n g . T h o u g h n u m b e r s d w i n d l e d a bit, they still had about twenty p e o p l e attending regularly. T h e club included w o m e n and men, and even had a f e w football players attend during the fall semester. Initially, yoga w a s intended as a vehicle for meditation, but 2 , 0 0 0 years later it has developed into m u c h more. T h e r e are several types of yoga, including the hatha y o g a ("kickbutt" yoga), tantra yoga (detail-oriented), therapeutic yoga, and nirvana y o g a (spirit yoga). It i n v o l v e s not j u s t c o n c e n t r a t i o n , but a lot of

physical strength and flexibility. T h e health benefits for yoga include stress relief, better flexibility, relief f r o m caipal tunnel syndrome, lower blood pressure, and m u c h more. W h e n Shutes got involved with yoga, it w a s just a pastime. But during the year she began to see yoga videos in every store. She was looking for a new way to exercise, and at the time, aerobics just w a s n ' t cutting it. She saw a yoga video in a store and decided to try it and loved it. She f o u n d it to be a good stress release after a hard week, and that it was extremely beneficial f o r flexibility and strength. She loved the fact that you could tailor each routine to the individual, no matter the shape or size of the person. "You work to your o w n ability, not c o m p e t ing with the person next to you to see w h o is more flexible." said Shutes. "It's about getting in touch with y o u r o w n body, k n o w i n g w h a t you can do, and achieving what you w a n t . " JUNIOR CLASS

Sets Record

by Courtney Klein

On March 8-9th, 2 0 0 2 the D o w g y m n a s i u m went f r o m a p l a c e to play b a s k e t b a l l to a p l a c e with a carnival-like atmosphere. This was the Dance M a r a t h o n , a n d t h e D o w g y m n a s i u m h o s t e d 188 dancers, moralers, parents, students, DJ's, caterers, and more. T h e E x e c u t i v e C o m m i t t e e could be seen w e a r i n g bright n e o n shirts, w h i l e the d a n c e r s and moralers w o r e their d a n c e n u m b e r s pinned to their shirts. M a n y b a n n e r s supporting children in the DeVos hospital were h a n g i n g f r o m the ceiling, caterers were setting up f o o d , m o v i e s w e r e p l a y i n g , and various people w e r e sharing personal stories on stage. A f t e r t w e n t y - f o u r hours of participation, all w h o w o r k e d w i t h the m a r a t h o n w e r e s u r p r i s e d at the $ 5 0 , 4 2 5 . 8 7 total, especially senior Beth Otto, Executive Director of the marathon. "I was pretty surprised by the total. I honestly d i d n ' t think that w e would m a k e that much. Our finance c o m mittee keeps the total a huge secret, but I was very happy with the outcome. Every year has been a record setting year for us," Otto said. " F o r a school of our size, we raise the most in the nation, and this is something that has definitely brought s o m e attention to Hope College. But the best part is that there is so m u c h m o r e m o n e y to go to the kids at the hospital and that is what matters most."

A l t h o u g h the E x e c u t i v e C o m m i t t e e brought a large n u m b e r of p a r t i c i p a n t s to t h e m a r a t h o n . H o p e students outside the c o m m i t t e e also did their share to help. N u m e r o u s j o b s needed to be filled, such as the m o r a l e r s a n d the v o l u n t e e r s w h o r e g i s t e r e d the dancers. Junior Sara H o l l e m a n was one of those w h o h e l p e d s i g n in t h e d a n c e r s , a n d s a i d t h a t s h e participated in the marathon because she felt dance marathon was a good cause. With this y e a r ' s marathon completed, Otto felt a sense of relief after the hard work that she has done. "I a m relieved that the marathon is over. It is somewhat bittersweet. This is something that has been a huge part of my college experience and to k n o w that it is over, is sad. But at the same time, I will finally have s o m e f r e e time," Otto said. Indeed, the marathon does take a large amount of time, and both Otto and H o l l e m a n have w o r d s of advice for those w h o might participate next year. "The best advice I would have is d o n ' t do it unless your heart is in it, and rest up b e f o r e hand," Holleman said, while Otto said that the D r e a m Team for next year will have a hard time since most of the team was c o m p o s e d of graduating seniors. H o w e v e r , Otto k n o w s that "[the D r e a m Team] will be fine and they will achieve great success. There will be a lot of fresh ideas that will bring new life to Dance M a r a t h o n , " Otto said.

Professors CoKitimMed TradHion of Noonball By Andrew Kleczek

Verhey took a pass along the baseline, l o o k e d and sunk an 18-foot j u m p shot. T h i s is not the i m a g e students and faculty typically h a v e of Allen Verhey, p r o f e s s o r of religion. H o w e v e r , three d a y s a w e e k , f o r a p p r o x i m a t e l y the last 15 years, that's exactly h o w Verhey had spent his lunch hour: squaring a w a y against other p r o f e s s o r s , administrators and m e m b e r s of the H o l l a n d c o m m u n i t y in ritual b a s k e t b a l l g a m e s k n o w n to participants as " n o o n b a l l . " "It's good f u n , " said Verhey. " T h e r e are quite a diverse collection of f o l k s . " T h e collection included people f r o m all aspects of the c a m p u s and H o l l a n d c o m m u n i t i e s - f r o m professors to pastors, f r o m landscape architects to lawyers. S o m e of the college affiliated regulars included M a r k C o o k , m a n ager of the H o p e - G e n e v a B o o k s t o r e ; Brian C o y l e , p r o f e s s o r of music; E v a Folkert f r o m the athletics ticket o f f i c e ; J a m e s Gentile, d e a n for natural sciences; A l f r e d o G o n z a l e s , associate provost; D a v i d M y e r s , p r o f e s s o r of p s y c h o l o g y ; David Ryden, p r o f e s s o r of political science and Joel Toppen, professor of political science. W h i l e these g a m e s e m p h a s i z e d f u n o v e r f u n d a m e n t a l s , players said the level of intensity varied a c c o r d i n g to the court. " T h e south court is ' D o w Division I , ' " said M e y e r s , a 20year veteran of noonball. " T h o s e guys are studs; m a n y of them played real basketball. T h e y s e e m to take the g a m e seriously. T h e rest of us play ' D o w Division 111" basketball, at a m u c h lower level of ability and with lots of chatter, teasing and jocularity."

Ryden, a regular to D o w Division I and seven-year veteran of the informal league, agreed that there was a d i f f e r e n c e in the courts. " T h e r e probably is a higher level of competitiveness on my court," R y d e n said. " B r a g g i n g rights are important. You want to walk off the court on the top end... there's s o m e jarring that goes on in the locker r o o m , but it's all in good f u n . " Ryden, w h o s e favorite m o v e w a s to post u p and score with a baby hook shot, wished m o r e students would play. "I miss having m o r e of the c h a n c e to mix it up with s o m e of the students," Ryden said. "I e n j o y schooling s o m e of the students outside the c l a s s r o o m . " On the D o w Division III court, friendship and exercise were valued o v e r victory. "I d o n ' t k n o w what m a k e s it so good spirited," Verhey said, "but 1 think it has to do with the people w h o are playing. Its m o r e important to m e to be friends with [Dennis] Voskuil [president of Western Theological Seminary] than to beat him... though I'd like to w i n . " Players on the D i l l court ranged in age f r o m early twenties to fifties, but h a v e g o n e as high as the eighties in the past. " W e ' v e had s o m e really old g u y s , " Verhey said. " [ A n eightyyear-old m a n n a m e d C h u c k ] had a great shot, though not so m u c h defensively anymore. H e had a f e w hip surgeries. H e played a f t e r the first one, but c o u l d n ' t after the s e c o n d . " Verhey had seen a n u m b e r of players injured during the pickup games. " W e ' v e sent people to the hospital for stitches... our wives think w e ' r e a little crazy. It's great f u n . " T h e g a m e s are competitive as well as recreational.

Every Day b a Cfiawpionsfiip Day- Hope 64, Aurora 46 By Lauren Jenson

The radiator whistles for the moonlight dancing across my eyes. I ' m drowning in dreams of hitting the game winning shot and soaking in anticipation of being a champion. I roll over to press my face against the window; Feel the chill of November. Find a star to wish upon. I can't sleep, I can't think, I can't escape one single thought about tomorrow's game. The clock flashes 11:37 and my only instinct is to lace up my shoes, pull a sweatshirt over my pajamas, and play. Under the glow of streetlights I'm undefeated. I'm unbelievable. I am unstoppable. There's nothing sweeter than the rattle of a chain linked net, and no greater applause than the rumble of a passing car. The only sound is the echo of my ball bouncing off into the night, and my only thoughts are basketball. Please don't take this away from me.

I can't remember falling asleep, or winning the game. I can't forget waking up with tears streaming down my cheeks. We lost. The fresh smell of dried sweat lurks in my hair. Lingers from my unchanged jersey, and for a moment I feel the lights burning hot, the crowd exploding in the fourth quarter, and the adrenaline of playing for a District Title. 1 can taste victory lost in the stench of butter popcorn, and 1 can see a trophy blurred in colors of blue and gold. I don't understand. Why? Why couldn't the ball have rolled in? Outside my window a nail sinks into a cloud pouring out rain, and I'm unsettled by the thought of falling one point short of happiness. 1 never cried harder, hurt so bad, or felt so empty, that 1 didn't even want to write.

"Don't stop believing, hold on to that feeling. " -Journey

Ode to My Sfioes By Lisa Schowalter

Courage We assemble at the starting line clumped together like a herd of cattle. My hands are sweaty, my stomach churning with fear A silent tunnel of concentration. I am distracted by my mother wildly waving both arms to say hi from 100 yards away. The crack of the starter gun. My jaw tightens as I begin my jouney though hell. Everything will be alright - my shoes are double knotted. It's time to fly Warrior There's a blur of bodies. Elbows are thrashing and connect with opponents ribs. Spikes kick up dirt and stones, sometimes catching a knee or shin behind them. The brisk autumn air stings my lungs. Lactic acid attacks my legs like the plague. I look down and the athletic tape is successfully holding my shoes to my feet as I stomp through the mud. I hurdle fallen trees and fallen people. Up the hill my spikes dig into the earth for support and 1 used the air as my climbing rope. My shoes heroically propel me through tears, blood, thirst, vomit. Guts 1 have wet, soggy feet and am covered in a thick layer of muck and sludge, brown dust shades my mouth and evaporates any trace of moisture on my chalky tongue Dried blood paints my body. My uniform is twisted, my shorts have risen to my armpits. I briefly lose consciousness. But my shoes Glow with a pristine light of victory. I owe Adidas my life.

Although injured during the 2001 season, sophomore Taffetta Nicholas and freshman Emily Cable came to show support at a home cross-country meet. (Photo by Kim Franklin)

Much like Dec. 7, 1941 (the attack on Pearl Harbor), Sept. 11, 2001 also became "a day that will live in infamy." At 8:48 a.m., a hijacked American Airlines commercial jetliner crashes into one of New York City's World Trade Center towers. At 9:05, a second plane crashes into the second tower. As people try to evacuate, the impact and heat from the crash cause the first tower to tumble to the ground in enormous clouds of smoke and debris. The second tower collapses shortly thereafter, leaving nothing but ash, rubble and destruction for miles where one of our nation's greatest landmarks once stood.

Born in Saudi Arabia to a wealthy Yemeni family, bin Laden became an Islamic fundamentalist and turned against Saudi Arabia and the U.S. after working with the Afghan resistance against (he former Soviet Union in 1979.

O m a r was the supreme leader of Afghanistan's ruling Taliban. Rarely ever photographed, O m a r fought beside bin Laden in Afghan resistance to Soviet occupation. He created the Taliban in the early 1990s to put an end to the chaos in Afghanistan and transformed it into what he envisioned as the purest Islamic state in the world.

One of the four hijacked planes in the terrorist attack, United Airlines Flight 93, crashed near the woods of Shanksville, Pa. The FBI believes the plane was intended for another strategic target (possibly the W h i t e Flouse) and that some of the passengers, including Thomas Burnett and Jeremy Click, battled with the hijackers in the final moments before the plane crashed. Both Burnett and Click had phoned family members and spoke of a plan to foil the hijackers. " W e are all going to die," Burnett reportedly told his wife minutes before the crash, " b u t a group of us is going to do something about it." Thousands of American Red Cross volunteers across the country came to the aid of Sept. 11 attack victims, raising money and collecting blood donations. The Red Cross set up the Liberty Fund which collected approximately $500 million intended to help victims and the families of those who died or were reported missing after Sept. 11.


At $2 billion, the 2 0 0 2 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City, Utah were the most expensive winter games ever. But despite beefed-up security and underlying worry over terrorist acts, this year's games, themed "Light the Fire Within/' burned strong with patriotism, pride and amazing athletic performances.
