Faculty endorses Boesak nomination

by Jon Hofman anchor staff writer A special meeting of the faculty was held Monday, January 9, in the Maas center to discuss and vote upon endorsing the Reverend Doctor Allan Boesak for a Hope College honorary doctorate. Boesak is a South African minister who was nominated for a Doctor of Divinity degree on July 29, 1987, by David Myers, professor of psychology. At the meeting, faculty endorsed the Boesak nomination by a secret ballot vote of 126-1 with one abstention.

In the original nominating letter, Myers expressed interest in seeing Hope College grant a degree to Boesak, who is currently president of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches.

M One need only watch network news to know that Allan Boesak and Desmond Tutu are two sane and prophetic voices helping shape events in South Africa tod a y / ' Myers wrote. Other letters, supporting the nomination, were sent to the Committee on Honorary Degrees and Citations from Professor Dennis Voskuil,

Greeks

obtain

by Beth Pechta anchor associate editor The Hope Coilege g r e e k system has obtained a $1 million insurance policy to protect themselves from liability in the event of a lawsuit.

According to Bruce King, dean of student activities, following the suspension of the Arcadian fraternity last year and the subsequent reports of hazing, Hope College's current major insurance c a r r i e r , Signet Insurance Company, came to campus and investigated the system for themselves. As a result of this investigation. King said. Signet decided that they did not particularly want to continue their coverage of the greek system, but would do so at considerably higher rates.

Therefore, the college, working with the Greek Council and Tim VanderPlow, one of Hope's insurance agepts, decided to switch7 carriers to the Marsilje Agency of Holland.

"Because we are Ipcal and in an unique situation, we were able to get a policy Just for our system, which is not connected to any national movement right now," said King. For the most part, national greek organizations participate in a purchasing . <awctgi*,of the national

However, this does not appear to be the case. When Provost Nyenhuis asked the Hope College religion d e p a r t m e n t for an a s s e s s m e n t of B o e s a k ' s character, the religion department came out in strong support of Boesak. In a letter sent to Nyenhuis on November 30, 1988, the department explained "that our positive assessment of the Reverend Allan Boesak as a churchman and a theologian is typical rather than exceptional in the worldwide Reformed comBoesak is one of the patrons of munity. the n 6 n - r a c i a l United The letter pointed to Boesak's Democratic Front (UDF), which in turn is a coalition of some 650 election in 1986 to a second foursmaller groups and movements year term as president of the all of which are strongly critical World Alliance of Reformed Churches as evidence to support of apartheid.

In October, 1987, the Committee on Honorary Degrees and Citations, chaired by Provost Jacob Nyenhuis, unanimously approved Boesak's nomination and passed the nomination to the Board of Trustees. However, the Board tabled the nomination pending a review of Boesak's character.

chase insurance for chapters across the country.

As part of this coverage plan, each active member of a greek organization at Hope will be required to pay $14.20.

King reported that this cost to Hope's greek members was very low as compared to costs on other campuses, especially those having national chapters. "When we look at insuring over 380 college students who are in fraternities and sororties with a very social nature, for $14.20 a person, that's very little to pay for a $1 million protection policy," King explained.

"Many greek systems are finding it very difficult to get insurance with all the press and national attention given to fraternities and sororities-the hazing and the different kinds of membership exclusion," be continued." It makes it very hard to feel good about insuring a group of people and I think we're very fortunate to find a policy and to find it at such a reasonable price per member."

The new insurance policy does not, however, exempt the college from being named in a lawsuit.

"I think we're looking at a day and age where nothing exempts us from being sued," said King.

"When people think you have of course you're ftbiftfl to k fi} f l r r j T i t t f - m 4 x r .

Many people place Boesak's name alongside those of Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela when they speak of influential figures in the struggle against apartheid, and Boesak has recently been asked by the Reformed Church of America to lead the worship service during its General Synod in 1989.

The faculty meeting was called in an effort to prepare an offical faculty position which could be presented to the Board of Trustees prior to their two day meeting in late January. The faculty position reads as follows: <4 In affirmation of our Christian and Reformed heritage, and of our institution's declared 'conviction that life is God's trust, a trust which each of us is called to activate personally by an insistent concern for intelligent involvement in the human community and its problems,' we, the faculty of Hope College, endorse the nomination of the Reverend Doctor Allan A. Boesak for an

approach in which you just sue everybody and then you start eliminating from there who's going to come through for you.

11 We realize that we're not going to be able to get away from that," King continued, "but I think what we will be able to do is separate ourselves from what was or should have been the responsibility of the (greek) system and take responsibility for the college's part in whatever happens. We're not divorced from the greek system, but what we are saying is that with this insurance policy comes a great deal of responsibility and that they (members of the greek system) do have the means to support their actions through the liability policy.

"I've heard that this insurance policy has been called a Declaration of Independence for the greek system and it really is not."

The new policy does not exe m p t the f r a t e r n i t i e s a n d sororities from the guidelines for activities set forth by the college.

However, neither will the policy be used as a basis for strict monitoring of greek activities.

"It is our hope that we will never have to use the insurance . policy. You don't get sued for sleep deprivation or for missing clashes and people don't sue for

our i n s u r a n c e a g e n t Tom VanderPlow is not going to be walking around campus at 3 o'clock in the morning looking for infractions.

"But," King emphasized, "the college is still very much concerned with the quality of life on this campus, especially the quality of life during rush and pledging. We still have guidelines."

However, at a Campus Life Board meeting last November it was brought up that the insurance company had 4 'advised Mr. King and Dean Bekkering to be as uninvolved as possible in advising and monitoring pledging activities so that if we are sued, that the college can honestly claim not to know what the Greeks were doing. Mr. King therefore reported that he did not intend to approve rush and pledging activities."

At t h i s n e w s , 4 4 s e v e r a l members noted that deliberately being uninformed about rushing and pledging activities violated the spirit of the policies approved by.the Campus Life Board last fall." .

Senior Kori Levos, chair of the Campus Life Board, stated that ' the Board worked with a' task force on greek life to develop rushing and pledging rules and that one of those rules was for each greek organizatjon to turn 1 WiWn df ni^hiti^ arnd tiledgW

honorary degree from Hope College."

The declaration went on to ask that President Jacobson relay to the Board of Trustees his "sense of the character and depth of our interest in this matter," and that the two faculty representatives "support efforts to offer the honorary degree, through their motions and votes, and by further communicating our conviction that such a decision would honor the cause of justice and reconciliation in South Africa and by so doing would grace the name of Hope College and affirm her Christian identity."

This meeting was the result of an earlier faculty meeting held on December 14, 1988, at which President John Jacobson addressed the faculty on the issue and fielded questions from the faculty. Many faculty hope that the board will now have the information necessary to act upon the nomination, which has been tabl ed for sixteen months.

activities. "But," Levos said, "now they will not be reporting because they are not accountable in the same way.

"Campus l i f e did not have anything to do with the outlining of this policy," she continued, noting that this matter does not fall under the Campus Life Board's jurisdiction.

Yet, Levos is pleased with the new insurance policy. "I am happy to see that the greek organizations are going to be held responsible for their actions in a legal sense. That way, if something happens, it doesn't become a tension between the greeks and the administration.

However, in light of the changes provided by the stipulations of the policy and the advice of a lawyer, the Board decided that the previous rules set forth for rushing and pledging will need revision.

The Board therefore passed a motion that the Extracurricular Activities Committee (EAC) "consider the review of specific rushing and pledging activities by the Student Development Office." The motion also stipulated that 44the EAC should consider the suggestions made by our insurance company in light of the college's role in educating and supporting greek organizations." . The EAC has not yet taken any faction on the matter! <*•' • *

Sobania elected to Board HOPE -- P r o f e s s o r Neal Sobania, director of international education at Hope College, has been elected to the Board of Directors of the Council on International Educational Exchange.

Dr. Sobania was chosen at the organization's annual meeting, held in November in Cannes, France.

The Council on International Educational Exchange, which is perhaps best known for its International Student ID Cards, consists of 205 world-wide member institutions. The members are involved in developing and administering a wide variety of study, work and travel programs for Americans and international students at the secondary,

undergraduate, graduate and professional levels. It is a private, non-profit membership organization with headquarters in New York City, N.Y., and administrative offices worldwide.

Dr. Sobania's previous work with the Council has focused on two broad areas. One has been to draw attention to the variety of means that colleges and universities can use effectively to internationalize the academic program on campus, an area in which Hope College is seen by many as a model.

The second area has involved the development of study-abroad programs in the so-called "third world.*' According to Dr. Sobania, the programs a r e designed "to meet a critical need

Dr. Sobania, who is a specialist in African history, graduated from Hope College in 1968 and earned his doctorate from the University of London in 1980.

Prior to joining the faculty of Hope College he worked as a human ecologist for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and C u l t u r a l O r g a n i z a t i o n (UNESCO).

Dr. Sobania, also an associate professor of history at Hope, has been a member of the Hope College faculty since 1981.

Library automates with 'Great Bar Coding Project'

At this time of vear, the term "zebra" is typically used by irate fans describing officials at a basketball game. However, during the final two weeks of Hope College's Christmas break, the word took on a whole different meaning at the Van Wylen library. There it was used to describe the more than 70 students and staff who spent eight days affixing 156,287 black and white bar codes to the library 's collection.

Placing bar codes in the books was the last and most labor intensive undertaking necessary to replace the traditional card catalogue with a new electronic cataloguing system. The new system will greatly speed up the process of checking books out and in, keeping track of where the books are, as well as notifying borrowers of overdue books.

It will also allow patrons to use computer terminals to look up volumes located in the Van Wylen library, Hope's music library, and the library at Western Theological Seminary.

left Hope College to become library director at DePauw University. However, that loss was eased when Elaine Cline joined the library staff in September and took over leadership of the automation project.

Cline had previously been in charge of the library automation project at Western Theological Seminary since 1983 and was familiar with the technical side of library automation projects With the help of library staff, Cline organized "The Great Barcoding P r o j e c t , " as the Christmas break employment opportunity was officially called.

During the project, students affixed bar codes, which are similar to the UPC symbols found on most grocery items, to all books acquired by the library p r i o r to S e p t e m b e r , 1987.

B e c a u s e the work was monotonous, the library scheduled two fifteen minute break periods during which they also provided snacks. Students were allowed to take off an hour for lunch as well.

By Wednesday, January 4, the majority of the bar codes were affixed. "These kids were fast, especially in the morning when they didn't have any restrictions on their music," Cline remarked.

The library was open to the public during the afternoon hours.

The students involved in bar coding worked in pairs, as much for companionship as to decrease mistakes. "We could have them working alone, but that wouldn't be any fun for them," Cline said.

"This gives them an opportunity to meet other students which they may not have known before." This was often the case, as a number of the workers were international students who had been unable to travel home for Christmas, and found the bar coding project a chance to earn some extra money.

Bar codes, similar to those in the books, were attached to each student's identification card when they returned to campus and verified their Spring class schedule. This allows the computer to identify not only the books, but the students as well.

To loan out a book, the computer reads the bar code on the student identification card and on the book. It then records the information and the date. This allows library staff to look up which books a patron has borrowed at any time and when the

Professor Gentile's itinerary included stops in Sydney, Melbourne and Ballarat in Australia, and Auckland in New Zealand. He left Holland on Nov.

29 and returned Dec.11.

While in Sydney, Professor Gentile lectured and consulted with individuals at WorkSafe, the Australian equivalent of OSHA, and the University of Sydney. In M e l b o u r n e he l e c t u r e d at Latrobe University, and in Ballarat he gave the keynote lecture at the joint meetings of the

books will be due. However, once a book is returned that record is cleared from the patron's account. Only authorized staff members are allowed to access patron's records.

Besides keeping track of which books are loaned out, the automated system will save the library staff a great amount of tedious, error-prone work by automatically printing the overdue slips. Previously these slips, which are mailed to borrowers who have not returned their books, were individually typed by hand from information gleaned from hand-written library slips. These slips were filled out by the borrower and were often incorrect or nearly illegible.

Although the system will make some library jobs obsolete, it will not produce any lay-offs of student help said Joyce Nielson, the library's circulation technician.

"The rationale for automating the library was not economic, but in terms of the service we will be able to provide," Neilson said.

"It is not that we'll employ fewer students, but that we can use them in a better manner."

Among the goals Nielson mentioned were reshelving returned books quicker and keeping the reserves in better order.

The savings to the patron are tremendous. Not only will the automated system do away with the manually completed date due slips, but it will also replace the card catalog with a computer based system called the Public Access Catalogue (PAC). To use the PAC, library patrons will have access to a total of sixteen VT220 terminals, located conveniently on all floors of the library. The PAC allows patrons to search through the library's data base by subject, author, or title. The computer will display all of the records which match the item entered, as well as the call letters of the books and their locations. If someone has trouble understanding the system, they can type a question mark at any point to reach the help screen.

Cline stressed the need for patience as the glitches are worked out of the system. "It certainly will be easier to use than before, but it won't be as good as it will get," she said. Library instruction has been modified to include a lesson on using the computerized catalogue, Cline mentioned, "But our expectation is that most people will just sit down and play with it."

On the Write Track: Reflecting upon the crash of Pan Am Flight 103 of December 21, my thoughts turned to the r e c u r r i n g i s s u e of photographers' insensitivity to grief when they attempt to capture tragedy on film. As one woman stated in the December 22 Detroit News, "Look, my son is dead. What else do you want?"

Fortunately, the barricades were soon set up to keep the press 100 feet from the families of those on the flight, however, the damage had already been done. A picture may be worth a thousand words, but maybe there are times when words can be more appropriate and just as effective in expressing emotions.

The cry of a relative, MMy baby! My baby!" expresses as much pain as does a picture of the woman in tears without the public knowing the identity of the mourner. Expressing emotions of fear and tragedy may be a great challenge to the writer, but it is certainly not impossible, the written word was developed long before photography and could be used successfully to describe events and emotions. A renewed

emphasis on description will improve the quality of journalism and may even show college students who dread writing what they can accomplish with a few words.

Most college students would probably just as soon do away with papers, but the writing skills they develop in college will serve many puposes later in life.

The ability to sound convincing on paper will increase the chances of your business proposal's adoption. Or your concise, accurate, and lively writing may reduce the intellectual flaying you receive when you present your Masters or Doctoral thesis.

On a more everyday level, the ability to write a few well-chosen words in a love letter may put a smile on someone's face.

A reader of a work, and especially of a creative work, is able to unite the words of a book, or lettter, or an article and his own imagination to form an experience more encompassing t h a n a p h o t o g r a p h in a newspaper can inspire, since the photo is two-dimensional. A historical novel about Marie An-

A picture may be worth 1000 words, but...

toinette brought the power of the written word home to me. As Marie Antoinette rode through Paris with faces leering at her and taunting her, I could experience some of what she experienced since the writer included her feelings and emotions. The description of the antagonistic mob could have been accomplished through a photograph, but transmitting to the reader Marie Antoinette's feelings of fear which conflicted with the need to look dignified as the Queen of France may be best accomplished with the versatility and subtlety of words. Of course, some imagination is required to be able to place yourself in another's situation, but the gift of imagination should not be neglected in a world where toys, such as a completely assembled model of Disney World, no longer encourages children to use their imagination as do good old building blocks.

Words, like building blocks, can be put together and manipulated to form a product unique to the writer.

Photographs are valuable for

p r e s e r v i n g m e m o r i e s . How many times have you said, "I wish I had a camera?" The next time you are caught unprepared, grab a piece of paper and describe the event in words and include your feelings about the event and the behavior of those present. You can collect these and form a picture album of events with your written pictures; you'll be able to read these years later and relive the experience since you will also have your feelings recorded instead of only visual representations of the event. The journal I kept during my trip to Europe five years ago brings back many more memories than do the numerous pictures I took, and was much cheaper than the rolls of film I used.

College students will need to be able to use the written word resourcefully throughout their lives (well, unless they end up pumping gas on a corner). The opportunity to use words for a variety of purposes may never be greater, so why not take a chance and write something for the anchor, Opus, or Inklings? Or just

be adventurous in your next paper assignment by varying the traditional five paragraph theme or by writing a dialogue, or by doing anything just a little bit different. Of course, you may want to try the idea out on the professor first, but you will probably find that most are open to a fresh approach to any assignment.

Photography certainly has its place; I'm qpt suggesting that it was an unfortunate invention and should be abandoned. But it need not replace the written word when words can be more effective and humane, as in reporting the feelings of the families of those on Flight 103. The power of words is far-reaching and cannot be replaced by modern invent i o n s no m a t t e r how technologically advanced they may be. So give words a chance when writing this semester's papers and fully exploit the p o t e n t i a l of t h e E n g l i s h language.

Cuipeper Foundation donates funds to automate library HOPE - The Charles E. Cuipeper Foundation Inc. of New York, N.Y., recently announced a grant of $100,390 for the funding of the new automated library system in the Van Wylen Library at Hope College.

The grant from the Foundation completed the funding for the software package that operates the automated system, scheduled to be functioning by the start of the college's spring semester which begins on Jan. 10.

The Charles E. Cuipeper Foun-

dation Inc. was established on Dec. 18,1940, through provisions in the will of C h a r l e s E .

Cuipeper, one of the early pioneers in the bottling and marketing of Coca-Cola.

The Foundation currently dispenses more than $5 million annually in grants to an average of about 195 recipients each year.

This is the first time that Hope has received a grant from the Foundation.

"I'm just delighted that the Charles E. Cuipeper Foundation

has funded this," said David Jensen, director of libraries at Hope. Jensen explained that the software package handles both cataloguing and cirulation.

Implementation of the system eliminates the need for the library's patrons and staff to cope with completing and filing the handwritten check-out slips long associated with borrowing the library's materials. l4 For doing circulation, it's just a wonderful aid to everybody involved," Jensen said.

A laser reader scans barcode labels attached to both the books and the users' cards, feeding the information to the computer system.

Patrons can also now locate books contained in the library's collection by using one of several computer terminals, a system that replaces the card catalog previously in use.

"It's a tremendously powerful searching tool," Jensen said.

Jensen noted that future improvements will allow users to

locate items with key words, expanding upon the initial author, title and subject headings.

Jensen explained that the catalog system will also assist the staff in its inventory control and collection development.

During the college's Christmas break, the library staff and student assistants placed barcords on the library's 158,000 singlevolume works. The library's multi-volume sets, and serials which do not circulate, will be given barcodes in the future.

Job market for grads booming

by Michael O'Keeffe (CPS) - The job market for this year's college grads is booming.

4 'There's no question about it," reported Angie Aschoff of LinnBenton Community College's placement office in Oregon, 44the number of jobs advertised with us is up this year."

It's happening nationwide.

Two m a j o r annual surveys released in December of national corporate hiring of new grads both predicted a happy spring.

Northwestern University's Lindquist-Endicott Report predicted an 8 percent jump in corporate demand for graduates with bachelor's degrees. Those graduates will receive starting salaries that are an average 4.6 p e r c e n t h i g h e r t h a n those garnered by the Class of '88.

Starting salaries for students with new m a s t e r ' s degrees should be 3.5 percent higher than last year's, NU's report added.

While Michigan State University's Annual Recruiting Survey does not paint a rosy picture, it does predict 44new graduates will face a healthy job market."

MSU asked 427 corporations about their hiring plans. In response, the firms expected to make 3.1 percent more job offers to students this year, and said they were especially interested in hiring more women and minority grads.

Some students consequently feel they're in the driver's seat. " I ' m looking for an attractive company with t r a v e l and benefits," said University of Maryland senior Maurice Boissiere of his job search.

44 Right now I'm looking at company profiles. I'm interviewing them."

The companies feel it, too.

44 We will be offering jobs to people who know they are going to be in great demand," conceded S a l l y O d l e , r e c r u i t i n g

manager for IBM. 44We have to offer jobs that are challenging and interesting."

Deborah DeBow of Eastern Washington University's Placement Office also found "there's more competition (for students), so companies a r e getting more aggressive. They're buying ads in students publications and coming into the office to strategize more with the (placement) director."

Observers attribute the scramble for students to corporate concern that there won't be enough grads to hire in the future.

A recent U.S. Labor Dept. study predicted one million fewer young people will enter the job market during the next decade than during the 1970s.

44 We are doing everything we can to prepare for the shrinking labor market,*' said Trudy Marotta of the Marriott Corp.

Victor L i n d q u i s t of Northwestern added that companies also are hiring because the companies themselves expect to prosper.

Sixty-one percent of the firms NU surveyed thought they'd be more profitable in 1989 than they were in 1988.

"Corporate America is confident the economy will remain strong despite concerns by socalled experts about the volatile stock market, the deficit, trade balance, megamergers and the increased competition in the marketplace," Lindquist said.

His report closely followed an early December survey of 14,000 employers by Manpower, Inc., a temporary employment services company.

Twenty-two percent of the companies expected to add to their workforces during the first three months of 1989, while 11 percent foresaw staff reductions.

"We were a bit surprised at the hiring strength indicated by those figures," Manpower President Mitchell Fromstein said.

"After a year in which three million new jobs were added to the U.S. workforce, we expected to see a slowing down of job formation."

The boom is better for some students than others.

"Engineering, accounting and health professions are our most sought-after graduates," said DeBow, while Linn-Benton's Aschoff finds clerical, nursing and automotive students in hij^n demand.

Michigan State researchers said electrical engineering majors will be in the greatest demand, followed by marketing and sales, financial administration, mechanical engineering and computer science majors.

The Northwestern survey found that technical grads will make the most money. Engineering majors can expect to earn $30,600, up from $29,856 in 1989.

Chemistry majors should get t h e second-highest s t a r t i n g salaries - $28,488 -- up 5.1 percent from 1988.

But the biggest salary jump will be in sales and marketingup 8.8 percent to $25,560.

Jacobson establishes lecture s e r i e s HOPE - The new Presidential Lecture Series at Hope College will be inaugurated on Thursday, Feb. 9, when the first speaker in the series appears on campus.

Hope College President John H. Jacobson established the Presidential Lecture Series as a way to help the c o l l e g e ' s academic departments bring to campus speakers who have distinguished themselves in their disciplines.

President Jacobson noted that the speakers will supplement the regular academic program at Hope. "I think it's always stimulating to have people come in from the outside - stimulating for the faculty and stimulating for the students," President Jacobson said Three speakers have been scheduled for the remainder of the current academic year, which runs through May. In the future, approximately four or five speakers will be scheduled to appear throughout each full academic year.

Ledgers donated to Archives

by Carrie Maples anchor staff writer Recently the First of America Bank in downtown Holland was doing some cleaning and in the process c a m e a c r o s s some records from the early years of Hope College. The ledgers found records of the meetings of the C o u n c i l of T r u s t e e s f r o m 1866-1929. The bank vault was probably used for storage to protect the records from fire.

The records begin about the time the College incorporated in 1866 and include a detailed account of the financial crisis of the early 1870*8. During the depression, the College was forced to accept aid from the Holland Relief Fund to pay professors.

While looking over the records, I found out some interesting facts about the College most people probably don't know. In 1866 the Council voted to give Dr. Phelps a salary of $1800 which was quite good in those days. At the time there were twenty-three students enrolled. During the summer of 1867 the Council decided to establish a women's department and began looking for a female teacher. In 1870 they were still looking. Finally in 1875 the first women were admitted. In 1876 the issue of student marriage c a m e up a n d the Council declared that any student who married would automaticallly •become htdigfole for graduation. •

J a c o b N y e n h u i s , who administers the program with the Deans' Council, explained' that the availability of the Presidential Lecture Series funds, coupled with the d e p a r t m e n t s ' awareness that they are competing for those funds, should insure that renowned speakers are nominated.

Through the structure and budget provided by the Presidential Lecture Series, the departments can acquire the necessary funding. The d e p a r t m e n t chairpersons submit speaker proposals and projected casts to the college's Deans' Council, which reviews and acis upon the requests.

The three speakers for the remainder of the 1988-89 academic year were proposed by the departments of physical education and recreation, communication, and English respectively.

Dr Daryl Siedentop, a 1960 Hope graduate who is professor in the School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation at Ohio State University, will speak on Feb. 9. Dr. Judy Pearson, professor of communication at Ohio University, will speak on March 30 and Dr. Barbara Reynolds, for 22 years a lecturer in Italian at C a m b r i d g e U n i v e r s i t y and respected for her translations of Italian works, will speak in April.

If their request is approved, the departments make the arr a n g e m e n t s for the v i s i t .

Generally, a full day of varied lecture and discussion formats for individual classrooms and the public is developed.

Hope is changing for the better Progress doesn't happen all at once. It conies with time.

And often progress c o me s at the expense of a great deal of effort by many individuals working together.

Such is the c a s e with Hope College. Recently, the college has made great strides in bringing Hope into the future and is making it a better place to be. We need only to look around campus to s e e that Hope is even more advanced than it was just a few short years ago.

Buildings have gone up, most notably the Maas Center and the Van Wylen Library. A new campus telephone system was installed. The food service and the library have become "automated." E v e n campus safety has been improved somewhat, with emergency phones installed around campus and a greater level of student, faculty and staff awareness overall.

Despite the fact that different reasons inspired each of these changes and despite each of their shortcomings, it must be noted that Hope is becoming more advanced.

We as students may complain about Hope's tuition as it rises, but we have to realize that we really are getting "more bang for the buck." Hope's tuition may be high when compared to other schools, but we are paying more to have a small college with better facilities than many larger schools.

Even though there have been many advancements made in the past few years, we at Hope College cannot afford to stop looking to the future. And yet, we all wish for Hope College to retain its small-town atmosphere. We hope that in the future, care will continue to be given to meeting the growing needs of the students while maintaining the feel of the small town that makes Hope so unique.

We applaud the efforts of those who have helped m a k e Hope College a better place to live and work. From the development and renovation of campus buildings to the automation of the library, Hope has changed with the times.

We hope that this trend will continue, for the good of both students and staff.

Students alienated in Boesak matter Dear Editor, As a student, I am concerned with the fact that students have been alienated from the whole process of granting Rev. Allen Boesak an honorary degree. I realize we do not have a vote on this matter according to Hope College's bylaws. I was pleased to find out about the whole process of g r a n t i n g h o n o r a r y degrees in the last anchor. In essence, we as students have a say in who is nominated because the president of Student Congress sits on the committee which nominates candidates. In reality, the power to grant or reject the nominee lies in the hands of the Board of Trustees.

In the case of Allen Boesak, the nomination was tabled pending a review of his character. Recently the faculty has nearly unanimously e n d o r s e d this nomination by vote. Clearly his character has been reviewed and has passed inspection by some of the most well-read people In our nation.

I am simply disappointed that we as students were not informed about this issue. We also a r e

Jan. 18,1989 Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water. Jack got an academic scholarship and went off to study psychology at Hope College in Holland, Michigan.

Jill pulled in a sweet swimming scholarship and was off to Ohio State University to pursue AilAmerican honors and a degree in Molecular Biology. The following summer they went up the hill again to fetch a pail of water.

During their second summer at home, Jack went up the hill to fetch a pail of water and Jill had a date, but it was okay, they had always just been friends. Later in July, Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water and Jack went to a baseball game. Finally in August they both went up the hill to fetch a pail of water.

The following Christmas no one went up the hill to fetch a pail of water. Instead a shot was heard around the world.

It wasn't the start of a second Revolutionary War. It was the single shot of another friendship suicide.

Jack could be Jill in this story, or Jill could be Jack. The names change, but the story's the same one. In this case Jill met an English major who made her heart a-flutter. When they were together at school, she just had

Page 11 no time. She wanted to write, and she did during the first year.

Jack was interested to hear about Jill's life. After all, they were best friends.

Jack and Jill had started up the hill to fetch a pail of water during junior high.

In high school, though, their friendship had deepened. They each dated other people, but they were best friends anyway. They had the best parts in the musicals together, they were the leaders in their church youth group, they visited colleges together and they had a lot of fun together and with two other good friends Beth and Marty.

During their senior year of high school, the four of them talked for long hours about their uncertain futures. They were all going to different colleges spread throughout the country. They were happy-sad to be leaving the hill, but it was time to move on to more of their life. What they all agreed, though, is that they would never let their friendship die.

One particular night they were at Jack's house watching movies on the VCR. Jill had said that she knew that she was going to lose a lot of her high school friends and that she kr^w she'd be making

Money talks

MARY TAYLOR Money talks. But unfortunately the bank machine doesn't. It doesn't say, "Do you really need this much?" or "C'mon now, let's think about this." It doesn't even ask for verification when you hit the withdraw button. It's all too simple.

Stick the card in, punch in four numbers, hit the top button twice and then enter the monetary

amount. Period. Out it comes.

Too easy.

It is also unfortunate that withdrawals must be made in multiples of five dollars. Which makes me always round up the amount I need. To ten dollars over.

Worse yet, that doesn't seem like a lot of money. In fact, I have gotten the idea in my head

new friends in college, but she p never wanted to grow apart from Jack, Beth and Marty.

Now as Jack lays on his bed in his room in Kollen he thinks back to that night with bitterness. Jill had spoken of lifetime friendship and always making an effort not to grow too far apart. He had assumed that meant writing now and then, but mostly it meant taking the time during vacations to go out. And even if she had no time or energy to go out, what was so hard about picking up the phone and calling?

Their first summer break was busy, and they hardly ever got together. Jack saw a lot of Marty and some evenings he saw Beth, but Jill was just too busy for them. She had her job, and she had her English major up for a week. When September rolled around and it was time to go back to college, Jill said that next time they would have to spend more time together. "We must keep in better touch. After all you're my best friends...here at home."

Over the t h r e e weeks of Christmas of their sophomore vacation Jack went out with Marty a lot and with Beth some, but Jill never even called. He hadn't received any reply to his two letters during the previous

Jack and Jill

JIM MONNETT semester. His anger had been building up since last summer.

He was sick of always having to initiate contact with Jill. He sometimes wondered if he meant so little to her that she couldn't even take the time to call on the telephone.

He finally called her. She was going out shopping and would call back later. As he lay in Kollen, he wonocred if she would ever return the call.

The hill is empty, and no one is going up to fetch a pail of water.

Jill sometimes wonders about Jack.

She wonders why he doesn't write and share his life

with her. For some reason she doesn't pick up the phone and just call him. She's busy. On the other side. Jack's pride has been hurt, and he refuses to tell her how her inattention has hurt him.

So instead of making the effort to save their friendship, they killed it.

It wasn't all Jill's fault, and it wasn't all Jack's fault. Both still believe that friendship should last forever, but neither can understand what went wrong. A simple phone call might have prevented the tragedy. Another friendship suicide might have been prevented.

that any amount under 20 doesn't really count. It's funny how it shows up on my bank statement but not in my c h e c k b o o k registrar.

Funny also how even though I get ten dollars over, I always need more later. Back to the machine. And after spending 60 dollars, what's 20 more? And if you are going to spend 80 dollars, might as well make it 100. It's easier to subtract that way.

Not only is it simpler to withdraw, it's difficult to deposit.

Funny how the bank machine is so handy when I need money, but seems awfully far away when it's time to put some in. Someone has kept a fortune from being added to my account by just taking the darn pen. Of course I never think of taking my own pen; I have enough trouble remembering my card. And if my name wasn't right on that little card, I might even forget that.

But it's nice to know that the machine remembers my name.

eats to stay awake during marathoh

DJ spins 24 hours of tunes

by Jon Hofman

1

Andrew Myers played from at least 300 albums in his 24 hour radio marathon on WTHS over Christmas Break.

By the time Andrew Myers entered his twenty-third straight hour of radio show on Tuesdsay, December 27th, the table in the WTHS reception room was strewn with left over Christmas cookies, Chex party mix, and sandwiches contributed by his family and friends. A half-eaten bag of tortilla chips and a nearby can of picante sauce gave some indication of what Myers was willing to put through his system to stay on the air.

"About a month ago I started scheduling for C h r i s t m a s break," said Myers, who has been personnel director at WTHS since the middle of fall semester.

WTHS, the student run FM station located in Dewitt, operated around the clock through the summer of 1988 and stays on the air during all college breaks and vacations. Sometimes it is difficult finding qualified student DJ's while college is not in session. "I have to fill in the gaps over break," Myers said.

"I did a twelve hour shift over fall break, and someone suggested a tw enty- f our hour marathon," Myers explained.

when asked the motivation behind his marathon. "I joked about it and finally decided to do it. It was something to do over break, and it was also great publicity. I couldn't believe the sheer number of people listening.

We ran promotional spots for about a week before the show, so that our listeners were aware of it."

Many of his fans dropped by the studio during his twenty-four hour show which began at midnight on Monday the 26th. The show was a mixture of progressive, rock, heavy metal, rap and funk, jazz, and dance music.

Prior to going on air, Myers pulled four to five hundred records from the station's record library.

He estimated that at least 300 of those albums were played during the twenty-four hour stretch.

"Before Andrew's show, I don't recall anything over eight hours," said John Miller, station director for WTHS 89.9 FM. "Longer shows are usually done over b r e a k s when D J ' s sometimes volunteer to do 'Heman' chunks of t i m e , " he remarked. "Two people did a show that was eighteen hours between them, but Andrew is the

"When it became apparent that he was serious, I supported the idea. I thought it gave us a lot of publicity.4 Myers was not attempting to break any existing records.

Miller said. The Marathon Disc Jockeying c a t a g o r y in the Guiness Book of World Records was retired in the 1980 edition of that book. At that time, the record was held by D a v e Belmondo of Brocton, New York who served as a DJ for 2,016 consecutive hours in 1978.

Will Myers go for thirty-six hours over Spring Break? "I don't know," Myers said. "We'll see." With one more hour of the show ahead of him, and another half-hour of re-shelving albums in the record library, Myers' reluctance to commit himself was understandable.

Scott

Kenny Marks and the Remarkables rocked out to a mainly high school crowd at the Knickerbocker T h e a t e r last Saturday night.

The six member Nashville band fronted by the energetic Marks played a wide variety of songs from their three albums.

The music, all of which was contemporary Christian music, addressed jssues like relationships, attitudes, priorities and living a Christian life in the modern world.

Though the crowd was deader than any rock concert crowd I've ever seen, the band put out some high quality rock music that deserved a better response from the audience. Marks sang with a passion and danced around the stage playing either an electric or acoustic guitar.

The R e m a r k a b l e s l e a d guitarist, George Cocchini, led the band with good energy and enjoyment as he ran through different riffs on his electric guitar.

Cocchini nearly brought the audience to life during his instrumental duet with Doug Dimmelon drums. Cocchini's fingers flew over the strings as he cranked out the hard guitar wail of many harder bands.

On drums, Dimmel seemed to be having the most fun. His drum solo was well played, but was hampered because he only had five drums and a few cymbals to fool around with. Without more drums the solo didn't have the raw energy that it could have had.

Marks did a good job balancing thetalking with the music. Since his music is well written, it was refreshing that b e often let the music do his talking for him.

One of the most emotional limes in the show game was midway through the second act.

While keyboardist, Sam Scott, played in the background, Marks told the story behind " S t y a Prayer For Me Tonight" off their third album, "Make It Right."

Marks told of how a sound technician named Richard, who they had just met, asked the band to pray for him that night. The band did, but later they learned that that night Richard had gone to a bar to meet his girlfriend only to find her with another man.

Richard the" went home and took his life. Mai ks then sang the slow, heart-moving song about Richard who had reached out for help by asking for prayer.

Following "Say a Prayer For Me Tonight" the band offered more hope for those who feel like •'giving up the fight" with the title tract from their second album, "Right Where You Are." The chorus speaks of God's love, 44 He is right where you are.

Right when you need to know that someone cares. Right where you are, Saying I love you so And always will be there." After the song Marks talked briefly about how J e s u s Christ did love everyone and that He is always 44 right where you a r e . " Another high point in the show was the opening song for the second act, "Good News." Cocchini ripped off some good blues riffs as Marks sang about "good news, Christ is returning." The rest of the band came forward during the long song with different percussion instruments.

Scott lended the cow bell while Pam Marks, the percussionist, did some stuff with different bells. Randy Moore, the bassist, even came down to the front of the stage to touf hand with a type of rattle tnat hd shook bet-

Rietberg since 1976. In March, the choir's annual spring tour will take them to Illinois, In diana, Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

The choir will join other Hope College music organizations in presenting a m a j o r concert at DeVos Hall in Grand Rapids on Aprils.

The semester will culminate with a first-ever concert tour to the Soviet Union in May. The choir has made European tours in 1979 and 1967.

The conference is co-sponsored by t h e M i c h i g a n M u s i c E d u c a t o r s A s s o c i a t i o n , the M i c h i g a n c h a p t e r of t h e American String Teachers Association, the Michigan School Vocal Association, and the Michigan School Band and Orchestra Association.

Marks and Remarkables rock students

HOPE - The Hope College Chapel Choir, under the direction of Roger Rietberg, will perform at the 44th annual Midwestern Conference on School Vocal and I n s t r u m e n t a l Music a t the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Saturday, Jan. 21.

The conference, which will be held Jan. 19-21, will draw over 4,000 teachers, students and musical artists for the largest music assemblage held yearly in Michigan.

The 70-voice Hope College Chapel Choir will be making its second appearance at this conference which is regarded as one of the foremost music meetings in America.

The concert will mark the beginning of a busy spring semester for the choir which has been under the direction of Prof.

ween his bass line.

Since Marks' music doesn't have a heavy bass guitar teei, it would have been nice if Moore was allowed to do a short solo as the other band members did.

Scott and the saxophonist, Mark Dontlit, soloed in the middle of the first act. Scott was the most reserved member of the band, never seeming to smile.

His lack of energy might be understandable since the band left Nashville at 6 am to fly to Grand Rapids where they had to fight the snow. Scott played well and showed some spark during his solo. Dontlit did his best work on the1 tenor saxophone.

After the show Cocchini talked p'jout the band's ministry. He said that the band sometimes has an alter call where people in the audience can make a personal commitment to Jesus Christ during the show. When asked why they didn't have an alter call during the show he said, 44We play everywhere and the church that is s p o n s o r i n g us s e t s t h e tone...What is important is that the Holy Spirit works whether we do an alter call or not. We sometimes find out later that our show had an impact on (people)."

Cocchini, who played even though his wife was expecting their second child any time, said that the best part of touring was being able to play music with the message about Jesus Christ.

The band closed with "Make It Right" and then an encore of 44 Friends" which finally got the audience onto their feet so that they could sing along. After the show the band and the audience ed on Pizza Hut to meet ,1 • /* / ^ i • each

In the Crease

Predictions for the year

7 BILL MEENGS Since this is the first "In the Crease'* of the new year, I have decided to offer some predictions on the upcoming sports year, and possibly Just the year in general.

The first order of business should be the Super Bowl, and since I'm a realist, I'll take the Bengals by 14. Let's face it, the way the Bengals have been playing, nobody's going to beat them.

They simply have too many weapons to be able to shut them down. As for the 49ers, they played a great game against

Minnesota, but the win over the Bears doesn't mean a whole lot.

Chicago is far from the team they used to be. Right now they're just a team of egos. The first step they must take to get back to their former dominance is to dump McMahon. He's been the source of most of the Bear's grief, and Tomczak has proven to be capable replacement.

I predict that within a month after the Bengals win the Super Bowl, McMahon will be gone. Super Bowl MVP? Ickey Woods.

In the NHL, the Detroit Red Wings will defeat the L.A. Kings in the Conference finals, and advance to play the Montreal Canadiens in the Stanley Cup final.

The Wings, who have had no team difficulties since January, defeat Montreal 4-2 despite coach Jacques Demers' trip to Winds o r ' s Million Dollar Saloon before game six. Says Jacques "It shouldn't matter if I'm hungover good teams come true."

In the NBA, after destroying the Pistons in five games, the New York Knicks defeat the Portland Trail Blazers in four straight. The reasoning behind this pick is simple; the Lakers can't win on the road, and Detroit has yet to even look competitive with the Knicks, let alone be able to defeat them. And (though Jim Monnett won't a d m i t it) Cleveland is too young to win it this year.

In college basketball, Ohio State defeats Michigan in the finals but is later disqualified and stripped of their tital when guard J a y Burson tests positive for steroids. U-M wins.

In baseball the Tigers win the A.L. East by two games over

The Calvin Knights defeated Hope College 66-53 in a mens basketball game held at Calvin last Saturday.

Calvin is the coach's pick to win the MIAA, and their 7-4 overall record is deceptive in that up until their MIAA opener against Adrian, they had played division 1 and 2 teams.

Hope has a 10-2 overall mark and 1-1 in tne MIAA. Early on, it looked like Calvin was going tc run away with the game as Hope didn't score until the 17:02 mark, ai^i trailed 12-2 at the 14:33 mark. Hope's second unit got it going as they narrowed the Calvin lead to 14-9 at 11:01.

Eric Elliot also kept it close, as he scored the next 9 Dutch points, and tied the score at 18 with a slick, driving lay-up.

Both teams battled back and forth throughout the first half.

Hope scored 5 points in a row late in the half and looked as though they would carry the momentum, if not the lead into the locker room (they trailed by one). But Calvin scored five quick points at the end of the half including a three-point, buzzerbeater by designated three-point shooter Todd Hennink which gave Calvin a 31-25 halftime lead and a sudden momentum shift.

Boston, and defeat Oakland in the league championship. They face the Pittsburgh Pirates in the World Series, after the Pirates dispose of the Cincinnati Reds in four straight. The World Series is close, but the Tiger's superior pitching helps them pull out a victory in hame 7 of a low scoring series. Alan Trammell is named series MVP. In football, the Lions pick up Lorenzo White in a trade, and draft Andre Rison. The moves help as the Lions finish second in the division behind the Vikings.

Seriously, the moves probably won't help, and the Lions will again finish near the basement of the league. The potential is there, however, for some improvement. We'll Just have to see if they get it.

Michigan goes undefeated in football, and plays UCLA in the Rose Bowl for the national title.

For those of you who doubt this, fine. It's your choice. But know this, U-M has won two straight bowl games, and three of their last four.

They've beaten Nebraska, Alabama, and USC in those games, so bowls a r e no longer a problem. U-M also

Hope closed to within one early in tne second half but couldn't gain a tie or take the lead. The afternoon began to become very frustrating to the Dutchmen and their fans as missed free throws, missed lay-ups, and rim-rattlers seemed to occur just as it app e a r e d Hope would b r e a k through. In fact, the whole game felt like Hope could run away with it if they could just take the lead, but they could never get over that hump.

Jack Holman injured his knee on a missed breakaway lay-up that would have given Hope the lead. Calvin's Hennink then hit another three-pointer to give Calvin a four point lead. Dan Klunder cut it to two with a pair of free throws (38-40) a moment later, but Hope would not get any closer. With under 10 minutes to go, Hope had perhaps their best chance to tighten things up, but the Dutchmen would miss 3 of 6 free throws, and Calvin began to pull away. Coach Van Wieren began to mix his two units, looking for a combination to bring them back, but nothing seemed to work.

Hope committed 13 turnovers to eight for Calvin, and shot 13-23 from the line. Hope was led by Eric Elliot with 13, and Greg Mitchell with 12. Hope played without leading rebounder Wade Gugino who was out with a stress fracture.

returns it's entire backfield, most of it's offensive line, all but one receiver, all but on defensive linemen, and the entire defensive backfield.

Some other predictions: Arena football c h a m p s Detroit Drive Major indoor Lacrosse champs - Detroit Turbos Cy Young winners - Orel HershiserCN.L.), Jeff Robinson (A.L.) College hockey champs - MSU Athlete of the year - Steve Yzerman Dance of the year - the Ickey Shuffle Chokers of the year - tie Cleveland Browns, Toronto Maple Leafs So there's my predictions for 1969. All in all it looks like it's going to be a great year for the sports fan. I'll see you next .In the Crease.

The Hope College swim teams opened their MIAA dual meel schedule this past week. Following victories by both teams over Calvin at the Dow Tuesday night, the Dutchmen traveled to Adrian Saturday afternoon. The men cruised to a 167-66 victory while the women coasted to a 147-71 win.

Both Hope teams swam, for the most part, in 44 off-events"~ not the individual's normal specialty. Both teams are working toward a potential showdown meet with Kalamazoo, the 8th of February.

A suggestion has already been submitted concerning NmseKitimRLPHPeeT size the attendance policy.

She responded that the Residential Life Committee has yet to approve or disapprove the proposal because there was not a quorum at the last two meetings.

The proposal will also be considered by the Campus Life Board at a later date.

Comptroller Bruce Brown and Residential Life Committee ijusrtmrep io set IF THIS XOPE? member Dan Goeman led the discussion addressing dormitory FMBimNWOtP quality and the variations in quality between different dorms.

Dan Goeman was given ww C w Crongress' support in endorsing the proposal. If the proposal fails, other courses of action such as picketing or a letter-writing campaign were suggested.

There was some discussion involving the annual "review" of each student organization and its problems, progress, and future goals. A review would be conducted by inviting one or more organizations to make a short presentation at a weekly Congress meeting. Erika Anderson moved that each student organization complete a mandatory written review each semester and submit it to Student ConIF WOOERS gress.
