In a rivalry measured by numbers, Hope-Calvin #139 lived up to its billing.

Before a packed crowd of over 4,500 fans, the Flying Dutchmen overcame a 10-poinl second half deficit to claim an 87-85 overtime victory over the rival Knights.

Hope was able to maintain its 15-game winning streak and unbeaten conference record, but not without a major scare.

The Flying Dutchmen were able to build a 10point lead of their own in the first half, leading 2616 before the Knights called a time out.

Calvin then finished the first half on a 30-10 run to finish the first half with a 46-36 lead.

"At half time I said that it's a good thing that we are behind this much at half time," said head coach Glenn Van Wieren. "It hurt us to get off to such a great start. We got complacent and Calvin c o m pletely took over the game."

Hope returned to the game, and began chipping away at the Calvin lead, riding on the back of David Meulenberg ('98).

T h e senior forward scored 19 of Hope's 36 first half points, and continued the scoring output during the team's charge at Calvin.

Meulenberg scored 10 of his game high 36 points in the second half, including a basket that tied the game at 69-69, the first time the game had been tied since the 3:51 mark of the first half.

"Joel found me down there. He seems to know where I am and that's big in making me successful," Meulenberg said. "We started to get uptight and I told my teammates to calm down and keep composure."

Speaker sparks e m b e r of hope STACY BOGARD campusbeat editor

Speaking from a podium emblazoned with the seal of Hope, Dr. Darlene Clark Hine gave an inspirational voice to the forgotten heroines of the freedom movement.

Hine was the first ever female keynote speaker at the eighth annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemorative Service Monday night, Jan. 19. T h e service also included performances by the Gospel Choir, and faculty and student participation in various readings.

The Gospel Choir, dressed in all the colors of the rainbow, warmed up the audience of approximately 600 people with a hand-clapping, foot-tapping "God more B-BALL on I 2 of Mercy," and a moving "Lift Every Voice and

Sing," the Negro national anthem.

Hine's message followed readings from the Bible, selected excerpts of the words of Dr. King and an introduction by education professor John Yelding.

She focused on a small number of the women involved in the struggle for freedom and civil rights in her presentation on "Ordinary People, Doing Extraordinary Things: Grassroot Contributors to the Freedom M o v e m e n t . " "Martin Luther King, Jr. is surely smiling on us today," Hine said at the opening of her keynote. " I ' m going to give you a history lesson as I talk to you about hope."

She began with the struggles of women in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and led up to the civil rights action following Rosa Parks' refusal to give more MLK DAY on IO

Residents of the Fraternal Society's cottage have anotherincentive to spend time on their studies.

A'newly refurbished basement complete with a computer lab and a study/ conference room should provide the encouragement. The Kemink M e m o rial Computer Lab will be dedicated Friday, Jan. 30, at 7 p.m. during a Rush Literary Meeting.

The project is nearing completion only four months after it was first introduced. Fraters Anthony Auriemma ( ' 9 8 ) and Jeff MacDoniels ( ' 9 8 ) introduced the possibility of a lab at the H o m e c o m i n g Literary Meeting this past fall.

"We wanted to leave something behind for the future generations, and make a positive improvement that all can b e n e f i t f r o m , " A u r i e m m a and MacDoniels said.

An alum attending the meeting issued a challenge to the fraternity that if they were able to raise one half of the needed funds, a group of alumni were willing to match their earnings.

By the end of the first week $12,500 of the needed $15,000 was fn.

After approaching Dean of Students Richard Frost for help, costs were raised to include the entire basement

instead of only the proposed lab space.

The electrical wiring was not up to code and some plumbing needed to be fixed, so the College stepped in with funds to cover the necessary repairs.

"Whenever we can improve the academic environment of the students we are willing to work with the organizations," Frost said.

Another portion of the funds the fraternity brought in came from the Fraternal Endowment, which is a result of the sale of the fraternity's collage to the College in the 1940s. The organization is allowed to use a certain percentage of the endowment's interest each year. This year's was devoted to the basement renovation and a portion over the next couple of years will go back to the College to repay some of the funds that were borrowed.

Active members pitched in to help with painting.

Frater advisor Robert DeYoung ('65), Vice President for College Advancement, was instrumental in helping to raise funds.

"Organizations are not allowed to approach alumni in any fundraising activity, but they were already willing to contribute." De Young said.

The other rooms included in the renovation were the laundry room and a new study r o o m . B o t h w e r e repainted, carpeted and new furniture was added to the study room, including a c o n f e r e n c e table and o f f i c e chairs. The computer lab also received office furniture, including computer tables, chairs, and a printer stand.

"We are also working on a bookshelf that will display the Fraternal trophies which have been in boxes up to this point," Auriemma and MacDoniels said.

The society chose to honor a past

Frater, Dr. John L. Kemink ('72) who was killed by a displeased patient on June 25, 1992 during an examination.

Kemink was a chemistry and philosophy major with a M.D. from the University of Michigan.

"A majority of the contributors were active with him and he was a terrific person," Auriemma and MacDoniels said. "When a person passes away who is extra special you want to remember him in a special way." " H e went on to exemplify the fine qualities of the academics he received at H o p e C o l l e g e t h r o u g h being a leader, helping others and a standard of high quality," Frost said.

IT'S ALL GREEK T O ME Amy-Lynn

Anchor

PANTHEON Andrew

Debating G r e e k We all want a family. We all want friends. We all wanl lo be accepted. We all want trust, friendship, loyalty, and love.

Greek Life can give you these and so m u c h more. T h e desire to be part of a group is a natural human emotion and for m a n y around the country and at Hope, "going Greek" fills that sense of belonging. It provides a close group of friends and a stable support unit. It o p e n s doors anc^ presents opportunities for leadership skills and community service.

If you limit Greek Life to the matching sweatshirt and designated tables in Phelps, it may look shallow. If stereotypes dominate your impression of Greek Life, the system can seem silly. If the negative press constantly running in national n e w s p a p e r s exposing the ill treatment of fraternity pledges during initiation parlies is your only source of information then you are limiting your perspective. If the d o c u m e n tary specials which appear on the television detailing accounts of w o m e n w h o turn bulemic due to the pressures of sorority life deter you f r o m a supportive group of friends then you are restricting a life changing opportunity. If you let the derogatory stereotypes determine your c a m p u s involvement, then you are denying yourself an excellent opportunity.

I personally challenge those w h o are critical of Greek Life to meet one-on-one with a Hope Greek. Most w o u l d tell you that the negative stereotypes are a bad rap given to the system. T h e y w o u l d also say that they too are upset with the poor activities and dangerous actions are not only destructive, but not representative of

the whole picture.

Greek Life at the core is a very positive and enriching experience. All thirteen organizations here at Hope express an ideal to better not only the c o m m u n i t y but also the individual involved. G o i n g Greek is one facet in which students are able lo contribute to the campus, community, and themselves.

Despite its many benefits, Greek Life is not always perfect. Fights between organizations, cliques within groups, stuck-up people, elitists, and shallow students can be found. But those kind of people can be found in all walks of life whether it be sports teams, the Pull, residential halls, academic departments or social clubs. In fact, negative human behavior can be found between people without the presence of a labeling organization. You can either contribute to the problem by being part of the negative behavior o r you can prepare yourself to deal with it.

T h e fear of being labeled with a certain stereotype is also a valid concern, but o n e that is certainly unavoidable. With every choice w e make in life, there is a stigma attached, f r o m the j o b w e choose, to the place w e live, to the political party w e side with.

You can let the stereotypes f o r m your course or you can chart your o w n course.

If you want to m a k e a difference in the c o m m u n i t y and at Hope, if you want to impact the lives of others and your own; if you want a place to belong, then going Greek is the door for you. T h e sweatshirts and reserved seating are just an added bonus.

the closed aspect of Greek living. Although all-Greek activities planned by the Greek Life c o m m i t t e e are helping to establish inter-fraternal and sorority events, many Greeks are only exposed to their o w n g r o u p and their brother or sister fraternity or sorority, respectively. Some Greek orders maintain habits of eating as a group in the Phelps dining hall or attending functions as a group, disabling opportunities for individual m e m b e r s to steer their social life in directions that they

People w h o choose to join a fraternity or sorority have many different and valid reasons for their decision. Social exposure, meeting new people, parental tradition, opportunity to serve the c o m m u nity, and developing a sense of belonging are just some of the varied factors that lead students into Greek life.

But I have found some of the s a m e reasons others use for joining a fraternity or sorority are the reasons why I am choosing not to rush.

O n e of the facilities a fraternity or sorority offers is an established social base; instantly creating forty or so new friends for joining m e m b e r s . While I would not hesitate to make forty n e w friends and I feel the need for seeking out

choose.

My final reason f o r choosing not to join a fraternity is because I hesitate lo enter into situations that enable others to apply a label to my life. I want to be judged as an individual and not lumped into a specific category because of the shirt I wear.

Ideally, this w o u l d not be a pressure a person would need to consider, but unfortunately, certain stereotypes exist for the fraternal and sororily societies on campus. Although mostly unfounded, people do maintain these prejudices, and Greek m e m b e r s are j u d g e d accordingly. I have e n o u g h stereotypical barriers to o v e r c o m e to consider the addition of

lasting friendships as an important motivation in my college life, I question how I would react to people w h o before rush were mere acquaintances, but n o w have graduated to a different level of involvement.

Personally, I w o u l d feel an obligation to m a k e friends with the fraternity m e m b e r s , creating friendships based on social pressure rather than a mutual sharing of interests and affections. Spending time with fraternal m e m b e r s to upkeep obligational friendships could potentially disable me f r o m pursuing further opportunities to deepen my relationships with nonfraternal friends. I balk at the prospect of losing old friends, even with the prospect of making n e w ones.

Another aspect of the fraternal and sorority lifestyle that does not facilitate what I hope to gain f r o m my college life is

more.

Although these reasons are why I decided against Greek life, others feel that the fraternal and sororily social bases, closed friendships and g r o u p identities, are factors that influence or do not enter into people's decisions to join a fraternity or sororily.

Neither choice is inherently right or w r o n g , but merely different.

Over the pasl lour generations, my family has seen a lol of changes on Hope's campus. I do not mean to sound narrow-minded. I come from a very diverse background and have many friends from cultures that are very different than my own; but in "A Playground for Growth" (Jan. 14) President John Jacobson is quoted as saying, "Our Ethnic homogeneity threatens the credibility of our witness to the culturally diverse character of the kingdom of God (Acts 2)."

This makes me wonder why there is no big push for intellectual, religious, or other type of diversity than ethnicity.

It also makes me wonder why a school that is homogeneous with black students, such as Hampton U n i v e r s i t y , H a m p t o n . VA o r a school like Trinity College, Washington. DC, which is a w o m e n ' s college, is not told the same thing?

I am sick of this attitude that every-

one EXCEPT White Christians (primary males, as there is no m e n ' s college that I have heard of, other than a military one) can have their own place.

In places such as my home town in New Jersey, diversity has become a code word for disrespect and hostility for a culture that is not a minority one, and is only found when it suits a liberal, leftist view (Political Correctness). This is not how it should be, but it can and does happen places. Diversity is not always the bliss that proponents of it proclaim it to be.

There is more to the question of diversity than how many Black/Hispanic/Asian/Celtic/Native American/Eskimo, etc. students in the student body, and it is narrow-minded to think that this is the only way.

Diversity is not a code word for Utopia; my high school was 80% Black, 15% Asian/Hispanic/Indian, etc and 5% White.

And I have learned as a result of this that racism is not just something

The Anchor is to be congratulated for addressing the issue of diversity at Hope College - an issue with which the faculty has long been c o n c e r n e d , and w h i c h when addressed benefits us all. However, you seem to have cast the diversity net a bit too shallow, leaving out the Native-American. Asian-American and international students of Hope College.

dents have provided the first extended contact Hope students have had with people of another culture, religion, and/or color. This has been an important and sometimes overlooked dimension of the Hope student body over the last quarter century when Americans of color were even fewer than they are today. At Hope College we need the broadest possible definition of multicultural ism to accurately portray the world in which you live and will one day work.

white people do to others, sometimes it is reversed and proponents of diversity need to recognize this.

I do not think diversity is unnecessary, but I'd like to see some more thought put into it, and some more thought about the definition of it. I think proponents of diversity need to understand what they are getting into before they get into it, and that they should read The End of Racism by D i n e s h D ' S o u z a b e f o r e j u m p i n g on the bandwagon. All that glitters is not always gold. A more diverse campus would not benefit me, because I have already seen the pros and cons of diversity.

I h a v e chosen a different path than some of you, but that doesn't mean I do not hear what you say.

Are you willing to listen to the other side, or will I get attacked for this?

Voltaire once said, "I may not like what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." Just a thought.

Piclurc aboul two hundred middle school kids (those in sixth, seventh, and eighth grades), music, video games, and lots of food. This isn't a recipe for chaos, but rather a Youth For Christ rally, otherwise known as Extreme 2000.

Youth For Christ is an international organization c o m m i t t e d to creating relationships with youth in order to aid them in making a decision for Christ.

Isaiah Hoogendyk ('01), a volunteer for YFC, sees the need just to show these kids that people care about them.

"Middle school-aged kids are the hardest group. I just have a heart to love these kids, to mentor them, to be their friend," Hoogendyk said The goal for Youth For Christ is to have volunteers just hang out with students, and let them see Jesus in these volunteers' everyday lives.

"I wanted to serve in some way and middle school is a hard time," said Katie Cramer ('01). "Collegeage students were role models for me when I was in middle school and I want to return that to other kids by being a role model for them."

He started working for Y F C in this way"because I have a heart for ministering to this age group and for a sort of 'cutting edge' youth ministry. Middle school-aged students are young enough not to have a false self or lose their innocence, but old enough to think for themselves, be willing to learn and question their faith," he said.

Denise Galloway ('01) sees the needs of these young people each time that she encounters them.

"I want to share Christ with these kids and show them love because they seem lonely," Galloway said. "It is a challenge to be their friends sometimes, but I just want

to make a way for friendships to build."

These middle school students come from Holland West Middle School and West Ottawa Middle School. The Extreme 2000 rallies usually consist of those kids who have never been to church or heard about Jesus.

Hope students who volunteer for these rallies meet every Thursday night at Van Wylen Library. The rallies are a high intensity mixture of g a m e s , hanging out, an occasional live band, "extreme dares," five minute Christian videos and usually end with a ten minute talk with a Christian influence.

The Towsley Research Scholars program allows for newer faculty members to receive support for research projects. Because of the amount of time and work that goes into teaching students at a school like Hope, the program still allows for faculty to conduct research. "It is very important," Tyler said.

Tyler g r a d u a t e d f r o m H o p e with majors in religion and ancient

civilization. He is now a professor of religion at Hope.

"I intend to examine how the practice of banishment and exile defined and shaped German society f r o m the latter M i d d l e A g e s through the Protestant R e f o r m a tion," Tyler explained.

"I a m interested in marginal people how you identify them, and how you treat them," Tyler said.

"We could do it at Hope."

Tyler e s t i m a t e s that the research and writing of a monograph for this project will take five years.

During this lime Tyler will go to Germany during summers, and for a s e m e s t e r during the ' 9 9 - ' 0 0 school year.

This will be an opportunity to delve into research he started during a stay in G e r m a n y in 1996 where he " i d e n t i f i e d four m a j o r collections that contain documents on banishment and exile in lateMedieval and Early Modern Germany."

There he will look at civic and judicial records of "certain marginal and usually silent peoples.

A CD REVIEW BY AMY HALL

Seven Day Jesus Seven Day Jesus Forefront Communications I ' v e j u s t gotten w o r d that Seven Day Jesus will be here, in Holland, at the end of the month, so let's talk a bit about their brand new CD. This self-titled album marks their second, although much has happened since the band's first recording. The Hunger was released by 5 Minute Walk Records in '96.

During the past two years. Seven * D a y re-vamped their rhythm seclion, replacing the bass and drum players. And, perhaps the most n o t a b l e c h a n g e , the b a n d h a s joined the Forefront label.

A surprising and big j u m p .

SDJ's not-so-next-door move is noticeable in the sound of this latest album (definite influence from Forefront folks).

The new stuff has a busier sound. more noise, more pop. more vocal harm o n i e s , as o p p o s e d to t h e stripped down modern rock feel of their 5 Minute Walk recording.

Interestingly enough, this new disc finds lead vocalist Brian McSweeney with a little more gruff in his beautiful blue eyed-soul vocals at times.

The past couple of years seem to have truly been a journey for Seven Day Jesus. The Hungers lyr-

ics were more often on the down side; describing doubt, frustration, and regret. This second album is much like the rainbow after a man-eating storm. Within t h e songwriting, lives a brighter day, but not without some hard questions.

The four Seven Day boys have done a nice j o b lyrically, balancing painful, honest darkness and joyful hope for the new day.

A great mix all around. Seven Day Jesus pulls together their ingredients to whip up a modern pop/rock/alterna cake. So far, it tastes pretty sweet.

M I C R O S O F T " O R M O C H A ? : Jitters Cafe downtown brings coffee and computers together. The locallyowned shop attempts to cater to a different kind of coffee crowd.

Ross DeRuiter, Dan VanTil, and Tim H o f m a n . all 20 and all from the Holland area, always knew ihey wanted lo start a coffee shop. What to combine with this coffee shop was the question.

"We thought about coffee and v i d e o g a m e s , or c o f f e e and movies, but finally we decided on coffee and computers," DeRuiter said.

The new Jitters Cafe, which opened last Thursday, Jan. 15, is the product of these three men's whims.

Although the four or five computers a r e n ' t installed yet - the guys wanted to get the coffee thing under control first - they will be in about one or two months. And once t h e y ' r e ready, customers will be able to access the Internet, word process, and play multiplayer games on them.

Of the three, D e R u i t e r is the t e c h n o l o g i c a l l y - m i n d e d one. In fact, for about two and a half years, he's owned his own sales and service computer business. Atlas

SCENE . . .

C o m p u t e r s , w h i c h is located directly behind the new coffee shop.

"I always knew that I wanted to be working for myself, and not for somebody else," DeRuiter, a Holland Christian High School graduate, said.

VanTil and H o f m a n a l s o hold full-time jobs aside from manning the new joint.

"That's why w e ' r e not open on Sundays," VanTil said. " W e ' v e all got other jobs, and there's just too much work to do - we need one day off."

The guys' menu is diverse. They serve a couple of different sandwiches, bagels, various baked goods, and many types of non-coffee beverages.

They also o f f e r a full espresso bar, as well as six different varieties of coffee every day.

"Our prices are lower than JP's," DeRuiter said.

S i n c e their o p e n i n g , the three owners say that business has been good. " W e ' v e had quite a few people in here," H o f m a n said. "And it's been a nice variety. We've had lots of different people stop in."

Jack Groot, owner of the downtown JP's C o f f e e & Espresso Bar, does not feel threatened by the recent addition to the c o f f e e house market.

"There is definitely room for more businesses of this type d o w n t o w n , " Groot said.

DeRuiter, VanTil, and Hofman first looked at potential sites for their shop on the north side of Holland.

However, when they found the site downtown, they knew they had hit a gold mine. " O u r main focus is to serve the students and the downtown community," VanTil said. "We hope that Hope students will benefit from us being here."

Washington Square, a small shopping district on Washington Ave. between 18th and 19th Streets, recently gained a new establishment: Shaban Kaffe, coffee house and hangout extraordinaire.

T h e site, formerly the original Leaf and Bean, has been completely remodeled to accomodate the new establishment's needs.

Now painted in soft greens, blues, and browns, the house offers an atm o s p h e r e f o u n d e r David Hysen, 27, hopes will be attractive.

"We've had steady business since we opened [Dec. 26, 1997], but I'd like to get m o r e H o p e s t u d e n t s aware," Hysen said.

In particular, Hysen is interested in hanging students' art and featuring students' music at the shop.

"We have live music every Saturday night," Hysen said. "And I'd really like lo enlarge the art gallery."

Aside from venues for music and art, S h a b a n K a f f e h o u s e s m a n y tables at which one can study or chat, newspapers, and games.

In fact, chess players usually congregate every Sunday.

Shaban K a f f e o f f e r s a full

coiiee espresso bar, as well as Seattle's Best Coffee and Terrafazzione coffee and leas. Hysen also sells bulk coffee beans, bulk leas, and a light selection of gourmet foods.

And for the l o v e r of s w e e t s , Hysen has pastries and cookies from the downtown Austrian restaur a n t and p a s t r y shop AI pen Rose.

He also serves bagels.

Hysen has failh in the Washington Square district, an area whose vitality has undergone several ups and downs since its inception in 1906.

said. " T h e other business owners here have helped me out immensely."

Also in the square are an Italian restaurant, an authentic Mexican restaurant, a flower shop, and a hair salon, a m o n g o t h e r establishments.

If all goes well, H y s e n h o p e s to keep Shaban Kaffe in the s q u a r e f o r several years.

C O Z Y l M G U P : The recently-opened Shaban Kaffe in Washington Square offers a full espresso bar, bulk coffee beans and bulk teasf and plenty of places to sit and relax.

The unfortunate thing about journalism is that you only get to report the facts. You never get to spout your own opinions, unless, of course, you're writing a column or a review. So, since I wanted to tell the campus what I really thought about these new cottee shops, I decided to create for this issue a little review box of sorts. The best rating possible is five coffee cups (you know, like five stars). And so, Hope College, here's what I ' m really thinking .... h m m m . . .

Jitters: 1 really admire the guys who started this thing - they're young and ambitious, and I respect that. However, I don't know how often I'll go lo the joint lo hang with friends or cozy with a book - it just doesn't hold that kind of appeal for me. There's neat art on the walls, but overall it just feels kind of sterile. Granted, they just opened maybe the coziness factor of it will increase with lime.

Shaban Kaffe: I am ecstatic about this place. It's cozy, aesthetically cool, and ex- â&#x20AC;˘ tremely reasonably priced. Plus, they serve generous drinks in those huge colorful mugs from which it's so fun to drink . . . I was so sad when the first coffee shop in the building closed - 1 think the area needs a joint of this type. Anyhow, I know that I'll be able to count on this place as a study or chill-out center. Its atmosphere murmurs simplicity and warmth, and its big windows invite Careful contemplation-of the outside world.

Hope grad rides Titanic t o fame K/VTE FOLKERT" intermission co-editor

For most people, acting in one of ihe biggest movies of all time would be only a dream. For Amy Gaipa (^92), it was a dream come true.

"It was unbelievable." according to Gaipa. who stars as Prudy Bolt in the blockbuster movie. Titanic.

Gaipa. who lives i a Brooklyn, New York, got the part after approximately four months of auditions. Her artistic director at Circle in the Square School, the conservatory she attends, referred her for the part.

"This was my first big film," Gaipa said. "I had worked on a student film before, though, which exposed me to a lot of the lingo and jargon of moviemaking. That really helped on the set of Titanic " Gaipa was only supposed to film on location in Mexico for a week and two days, but director James Cameron liked what he saw and edited her character into more scenes.

"I ended up going back and forth to Mexico about six times between Sept. '96 and Feb. '97. It was great because I got to fly first class. Believe me, that is the only way to go," laughed Gaipa. ' T h a t was one of the benefits of working on a film with a $200 million budget."

Gaipa was on location for the first week of production and got to see much of the massive set being built.

"It was amazing to see the set c o m e out of nowhere," Gaipa said. "Seeing the this huge ship go up on the horizon was incredible."

G a i p a ' s character, P r u d y Boll, is the maid to Kate

Heritage

Winsletfs character, Rose DeWitt Bukater. Working side by side with the famous actress did not phase her.

"I had worked with some big stage personalities in New York, so it wasn't a big deal (to work with Winslett)," Gaipa said. "You don't really pay attention to the fact that they're famous because you see them as your coworkers."

Gaipa hopes this part will lead to other roles and more opportunities for her to make money doing what she loves. " I ' m hoping to get an agent out of this," Gaipa said.

"The challenge is getting a job. Until you get that, you often have to work a day j o b you don't like, just so you don't starve," explained Gaipa. "Once you're there it is what you love to do, so you don't notice the challenges. It's fascinating to be part of the process."

As a student at Hope, Gaipa P h o t o c o u r t e s y of Public Relations was a theater major. She took part O N T H E B I G SCREEIM: Prudy Bolt in Vienna S u m e r School and went (Amy Gaipa, y92), right, boards the Titanic with Ruth on the N e w York arts s e m e s t e r , De Witt Bukater (Kate Winslett). which she claims is the reason she decided to settle there. Gaipa praises at Hope," Gaipa said. "It was a kind of instinct that I just the education she received at Hope. decided to follow."

She shares similar words of advice for others, whether "The liberal arts education of A . G a i p a ( ' 9 2 ) Hope is phenomenal," Gaipa said. they have similar dreams or not. " D o something you want to do," encouraged Gaipa. "A "1 use it every day."

For Gaipa, beoming an actress was a matter of follow- lot of people get caught up in ideas of what a career is supposed to be or get pressured by parents to do something, but ing her heart.

"I've always loved to perform, but I didn't really make if you don't do something you enjoy you'll never be a full the decision to pursue acting as a career until I was a student and complete person."

blends with hymns

Tonight at 8:00 p.m., Fernando Ortega will fill Dimnent C h a p e l with harmony, artistry, and faith.

T h e Christian c o n t e m p o r a r y singer, who was invited to Hope by Chaplain Ben Patterson, has touched many people with his music. The songs are very distinctive, combining his New Mexican heritage with familiar hymns.

His latest album, This Bright Hour, weaves Ortega's clear voice, piano melodies, and w o r s h i p f u l

praises. It caught the eye of many, i n c l u d i n g w e l l - k n o w n Christian musician Michael Card, w h o invited Ortega to join his Unveiled Hope Tour this past fall.

Tickets for Hope students to hear this emerging singer are available for $5.00 through Hope College C a m p u s Ministries. And Dimnent Chapel will be the right place tonight to show the strength of his belief and grace of his music.

W i n t e r films w a r m the JOSLIN FEINAUER staff r e p o r t e r

Very few small towns offer a theater dedicated to showing independent art and foreign films.

"Holland is fortunate to boast the K n i c k e r b o c k e r theater," said Valerie McCoy, Hope College's arts coordinator. " T h e Knick provides community members out-of-the-ordinary films that don't follow familiar formulas or rely on overwhelming audio and visual effects to entertain viewers. Our showings are a real opportunity for college students to experience, maybe for the first time, a new area of film to pursue."

The four films showing downtown this winter are Mondo, A Chef in Love, Tons les Matins du Monde, and Gabbeh.

"We try to select films based on a variety of subject matter and artistic quality while also interfacing some educational components," McCoy said.

Mondo is a French film about a wandering gypsy boy who appears in Nice, France and introduces himself to strangers by asking them, "Would you like to adopt me?"

"Mondo is especially unique because none of the main characters a r e p r o f e s s i o n a l a c t o r s , " McC6y said.

A Chef in Love is also a French film with English subtitles. This movie combines love and cuisine, two passions that are typically associated with France. Viewers will very likely be affected by the characters' struggles with truth and loyalty.

"We like to show films that you'll think about days and weeks a f t e r you l e a v e , " M c C o y said.

"When you go to an art film, you never know what you'll get out of it."

translates to 'All the Mornings of the World.' This film has been selected b e c a u s e it's w o n d e r f u l l y made and also because it has great educational value as a period piece.

It is also a film that focuses on music," McCoy said. "The instrument played is called a viol, which is a predecessor to the cello. Tons les Matins du Monde could be valuable to film and music students."

The final movie in the winter film series is entitled Gabbeh. In Iran, gabbehs are carpets made by nomadic tribes that artfully tell the stories of their creators.

"Each carpet has a different weave that is a different person's story. Gabbeh is the love story of one woman who emerges from the carpet of her o w n life," M c C o y said.

T h e K n i c k e r b o c k e r staff is confident in the theater's showings. " I n d e p e n d e n t film m a k e r s don't make movies for the money.

They aren't concerned with producing three blockbusters a year. Independent films tend to reveal more about the film m a k e r and o f f e r greater depth in each character," McCoy said. " T h e Knick will h a v e high

quality films because we have limited the n u m b e r of movies we'll show each season. It is much easier to find eight rather than thirty-two good m o v i e s to show," explains Erik Alberg, manager of the Knick. " T h e r e are, of c o u r s e , poor films in each genre, but it seems e a s i e r to a v o i d p o o r art f i l m s , " Alberg said.

Patrons of the Knick can be assured that Holland will continue to be privileged with entertaining and thoughtful movies. â&#x20AC;&#x17E; "I really can't foresee us running out of ideas or films for the Knick. Each new film festival has so many new concepts that there seems to be no end to the possibilities for this theater," said McCoy. "We've considered doing a series with a theme or common director. W e ' v e also thought about possibly bringing back s o m e older, classic films," Alberg said. " G i v e n the variety of films avaliable it is difficult to predict any trends for the theater, but the winter series is a strong collection of films that we hope will satisfy the loyal following the Knick has developed and keep the Knick an exciting place to visit," McCoy said.

A c t o r s s h o w s t r e n g t h in stage c o m p e t i t i o n SALLY SMIT'S intermission c o - e d i t o r

In jusi five minulcs,Todd Sessoms ('00) and Kara Burk ('00) had lo prove their skill as actors and leave a stronger impression than 200 others at the American College Theater Festival. Each year, al the Irene Ryan Competition, only 32 of the selected regional students make it to semi-finals, and then only 16 enter the finals. Sessoms and his partner Burk became a part of that elite final group this past fall semester.

"There were a lot of really, really talented people there," said Larry Young ('99), who was also selected to participate in the Festival. "It's really hard to get to the 16, and Todd did it."

To add to the distinction, Sessoms is only

the fourth person in Hope's history to be nominated for finals, and the first one to make it as a freshman.

"It's an honor to even go," Sessoms said.

The competition, which is named for and funded by the actress most people would r e c o g n i z e as Granny from The Beverly Hillbillies, can be as difficult as trial by fire. " D u r i n g the s e m i - f i nals, it was a lot more competitive than I thought it would be. People were really taking it seriously," said Sessoms.

Burk felt the same tension in the air. "A lot of people went in (to semifinals) with attitudes or chips on their shoulders," she said.

"But in the final 16, all the nice people were

As vice president she assists the president and plans the yearly convention of the organization which is made up of college professors and independent music teachR. K r a f t ers.

"It is a prestigious organization," said Kraft.

After fulfilling her term as vice president she will become the president of the organization for t w o years.

"As president I will oversee everything from public relat i o n s , to a d v o cacy. to competitions," said Kraft. "I will also serve as the link between the Michigan assoc i a t i o n and t h e Music Teachers' B. M c C o National Organization."

Kraft is an adjunct professor of music and teaches class piano and keyboard skills.

Each of the participants in the competition had to prepare two scenes, one to be performed alone and one with a partner. Burk and Sessoms put on a scene entitled "Oh D a d , Poor D a d , Mama's Hung in the Closet and I ' m Feeling So Sad." S e s s o m s also did his own monologue.

Aside from the central competition, Hope students a t t e n d i n g the Festival could c h o o s e f r o m several o f f e r e d w o r k s h o p s .

Young, Burk, and Sessoms decided on one that focused on auditioning for film and television rather than stage theater.

"Al Hope, we don't really have that (a class for film)," Burk said.

came up with the idea for the book when approached by Laura Wyss, a Hope alumni, who worked for the publisher.

"She asked if I had any ideas for a b o o k , " said Carey.

"This is the first thing that came to m i n d b e cause it is such a popular subject."

The publishers liked t h e i d e a and asked Carey for a formal proposal. They sent her an initial set of images from which she chose 100-120. Her choices were edited to the 101 angel images included in the book. "li was very much a collaborative effort," said Carey.

The workshop, which was led by the casting director for such films as Titanic and Mission: Impossible, gave the acting hopefuls a chance to view actual auditions from Titanic as well as try their hands at simulated screen tests.

"It's totally different than stage theater," Young said. " Y o u ' r e kind of acting to the camera, and you have to do a lot more with your face, s h o w i n g thoughts and expressions."

The Hope students that attended any part of the Festival found new experiences and fresh ideas.

"It was good to meet people and see what other schools are doing," Burk said.

And Hope was not overlooked, either, with strength in stage theater shown by all the students who participated.

"These were black women who decided they had had enough," Hine said. "In the face of overwhelming odds, unspeakable oppression, one must never, ever give up hope."

Hine took much of the historical information in her speech from her new book, A Shining Thread of Hope: The History of Black Women in America, c o - a u t h o r e d by Kathleen Thompson. She also mentioned the irony of the book's first public appearance at an institution named Hope. The book sold out at the Hope-Geneva Bookstore.

"I can't think of a better place or a better moment for this," she said.

"It's a divine coincidence."

She ended her history lesson with a focus on Parks and the women who were behind the boycott of the Montgomery bus system.

"Black women got together fliers for the boycott of the bus system and coordinated a car pool system for those that needed to gel through to their j o b s , " she said.

Hine concluded by urging the audience to learn more about history so as to be better prepared for the future.

"History should inspire all of us to hope and to work for the creation of Martin Luther King's beloved community," she said.

Because the focus of this ministry is a relational one, good role models and mentors are desired to be these y o u n g p e o p l e ' s friends.

Not only have the volunteers benefited others through of their service, but through serving they have experienced benefits to their growth

and expression of their faith.

H U C K A N D defender in Saturday's

Hope versus Calvin has always carried a certain a m o u n t of significance.

T h e m e n ' s b a s k e t b a l l rivalry, w h i c h s p a n s 7 7 y e a r s a n d 139 games has been d u b b e d "the greatest small college rivalry."

However, today a Hope-Calvin matchup in most any sport receives hype. " W h e n e v e r Hope and Calvin square off it's a big g a m e , " said head w o m e n ' s b a s k e t b a l l c o a c h Brian Morehouse. "I d o n ' t care if it's a chess match or a debate, it's a battle."

On S a t u r d a y , J a n . 17, t h e w o m e n ' s basketball team squared off against the Knights with firsl place in the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association.

A 6 2 - 5 4 l o s s to the K n i g h t s dropped the Flying Dutch to a game back in the M I A A at 3-1.

T h e rivalry has also reached the c l u b teams of the two schools separated by less than 30 miles.

"Jusl being Calvin is enough to get any athlete up," said Troy Davis ( ' 9 8 ) , following a 5-3 loss between the t w o c l u b hockey teams Saturday.

"If they had a football team it w o u l d be the c r a z i e s t thing you would ever see." Davis said. "They are jusl t w o teams lhal don't like each other m u c h . " While the rivalry seems lo have originated in the religious differences and m e n ' s basketball games, the scope of Hope and Calvin has reached m u c h further.

Hope and Calvin finished onetwo in both volleyball and w o m e n ' s cross country this fall, with the Flying Dutch taking volleyball and the Knights taking cross country.

Calvin also took M I A A titles in m e n ' s cross country and w o m e n ' s soccer.

Hope look home titles in football.

On Saturday afternoon, in front of a packed house at the Dow Center, the Flying Dutch w o m e n ' s basketball team lost to Calvin 62-54, despite her 11 points and seven rebounds.

"It is disappointing that w e lost, but we are really glad the g a m e is under out belt," Koenigsknecht said. "Right n o w w e need lo focus on w h a t ' s left of o u r season. We h a v e A l m a next (tonight) on the road and we need lo play one game at a lime."

C a l v i n ' s h a l f t i m e lead to 2 8 - 2 7 .

H o p e ' s comeback attempt was produced by a joint effort f r o m various Dutch players and w a s caused by the combination of H o p e ' s near flawless defense and a lot of mental mistakes by Calvin players.

A c c o r d i n g lo K o e n i g s k n i c h t , when they were d o w n by ten early on, " w e told ourselves that if w e wanted lo win this g a m e w e would have to put all our effort into it. We switched to the z o n e d e f e n s e and that really took them out of their game."

In the end, the c o m e b a c k proved to be too much for the Flying Dutch as they ran out of energy in the m i d d l e of t h e s e c o n d h a l f a n d Calvin b e g a n lo d o m i n a t e inside and out. " W e had to use great determination and great effort to c o m e back f r o m being that far d o w n and when

you have to expend so much energy so m u c h energy your tanks run low and you jusl run out of steam," said Brian M o r e h o u s e , head w o m e n ' s basketball coach. "I fault our loss on the fact that the ball didn't go in, not on my t e a m ' s effort."

T h e Flying Dutch, a team that is n o r m a l l y solid f r o m the outside, struggled against the Knights and made good on only two of 2 2 shots f r o m behind the three-point line.

Tara Hosford ('98), the team's leading scorer in league play, shot only 2/9 f r o m behind the arc.

"I give credit to Calvin for that," M o r e h o u s e said. "They knew exactly w h o w e wanted lo shoot the ball and they played those people very light. If you don't score, it's lough lo win."

OVER AND BACK Michael Zuidema

Dow Center Disease The Dow Cenler is a liny bubble of life within itself.

The amount of things that go on in that building could fill a library, and the intricacies of life can amaze.

The amount of use that the Dow has experienced has left the face of the building looking heavy and the inside a little worn.

The people, young and old, that you run into are willing to share any story of their lives, and the j o b s performed by those inside are admirable.

Literally thousands of different individuals with varying personalities march past the gatekeeper at the door.

Which may be why I rarely use the basketball facilities.

An infinite amount of people enjoy playing basketball on the same court that the w o m e n ' s team does. Maybe too many.

Virtually every time I have played basketball with more than six or seven people, I have encountered what I term "Iverson Syndrome."

"Iverson S y n d r o m e " can be seen in symptoms such as lack of hustle, blatant arrogance, and shooting under any circumstance rather than passing. This last one has been termed the "the blackhole effect." l.S. has become rampant on the Hope College campus and is believed to have originated in three-on-three Gus Macker-type tournaments.

Hope is not the only place where this can be seen. The NBA and N C A A have also become a breeding ground for this problem.

The hypothesis for this syndrome presence at Hope is a simple one.

Athletes become Flying Dutch for many reasons, one of which is the hope to become a m e m b e r of the vaunted basketball programs.

Once they realize that they would be cut, or are cut, they take their " g a m e " to the Dow Center floor.

There they suffer from l.S. Their mouth is a whole lot better than their play and the term "jerk" is used a lot.

The idea that those w h o are good in high school are better than the peasants that play in the Dow is ludicrous.

Players who star at SmallTown High School are a dime a dozen at Hope.

Good athletes aren't hard to come by on this campus. i f an athlete is good, that never gives them the right to act better than others. This basic thought is both wrong and stupid.

T h e Dow Center is too good for you, and not the other way around. The people who work there and the people who want a little fun exercise deserve the facility much more than those who think they are too good to pass.

B-BALL f r o m I Calvin basket forced the g a m e into overtime at 71 all.

"At earlier times we ended up with turnovers in those situations," Van Wieren said. "I felt fortunate to go into overtime. The last 15 seconds of regulation were spectacular."

Meulenberg went 4-6 from the free throw line in the extra session, and the rest of the Hope squad was able to make enough passes and free throws to prevent Calvin from reclaiming the lead.

For his performance. Meulenberg was named Ml A A player-the-week f o r the t h i r d t i m e this s e a s o n .

Meulenberg was also named to the national team of the week by Dill Basketball On-Line.

"Calvin was so instrumental in taking things away from Hope and putting them in Calvin's corner," Van Wieren said. "This was an absolutely terrific win on the road where Hope had to regroup, refocus. and had to be copasetic."

Pat Stegeman ( ' 9 9 ) and I loistege were the only other Dutchman to score in double digits with 14 and 13 points respectively.

The win brings Hope to within one g a m e in the all-time series, which Calvin leads, 70-69. Hope does lead in all-time points by six, 9.104 to 9,098.

The wins not only pushed Hope's Division III leading season winning streak along, but also raised Hope's record to 15-1 and 3-0 in the MI A A. Hope is currently ranked in the number one position in the Great Lakes Region, and number four in the recently released Division III polls.

The Flying Dutchmen will look to c'ontinue their winning ways, hosting Alma tonight at 7:30 p.m.

While all eyes were on the HopeCalvin weekend, the Flying Dutch s w i m teams took to the pool in round one of their own rivalry with Kalamazoo.

Hope got a good taste of what to expect in the conference finals, as the teams swam Friday, Jan. 16 in a dual meet and then swam with the Hornets in a quadrangular meet the next day at Wheaton.

"This rivalry has a great amount of respect," said head coach John Patnott. "It's not where you dislike the other team, it's where you want to win so bad, you go out and do the work."

The women remained the favorite in the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association by defeating the Hornets 129-112 in the dual meet, and finished third at the quadrangular.

The men fell to Kalamazoo, 135100, but got some measure of respect in placing first at Wheaton.

Betsy VandenBerg ('01) continued her winning ways by placing first in the 200-yard individual in the dual meet and the 100-yard breaststroke in both the dual meet and at Wheaton.

VandenBerg added to her N C A A Division III conditional qualifying t i m e s by w i n n i n g t h e 4 0 0 - y a r d medley relay with Llena Durante C00), Erinn Van Auken ('00), and Laural Horton ('01).

VandenBerg has also qualified in the 100-yard and 2 0 0 - y a r d breastrokes. " W e did p r e t t y w e l l . I w a s pleased. T h e distance events and really just about everything else was s t r o n g , " Patnott said. " B u t they need to show me that at some point they can win a high pressure meet."

In the m e n ' s meet Chris Dattels ('01) took advantage of his opportunity to shine.

D a t t e l s took the 1000-yard freestyle and 200-yard backstroke titles in the quadrangular meet, and posted personal bests in the dual meet.

" H e ' s a very mature freshman to come into a pressure situation and handle it," Patnott said. ' T h e underclassmen are progressing well, but w e have a f e w that are still frustrated." " T h e y d o n ' t s w i m well w h e n they're tired. When they're rested they swam quite well," Patnott said.

The weekend of competition with Kalamazoo should serve as a precursor to the M I A A Meet, hosted

by Hope over February 11 through 14. " T h e g u y s are r e a l l y e n c o u r aged." Patnott said. ' T h e swim portion was only a three point meet and I made some tactical errors and I'll have to find a way to offset that." "(With the w o m e n ) I don't like to be overly confident but I like where w e ' r e at. We don't have as many swimmers, but our number one swimmers are among the best in the league."

The Flying Dutch swim teams will next compete on Saturday, Jan. 24 at Albion. The meet will begin at I p.m.

Alma, Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association t o u r n a m e n t champs a year ago, will be tough this year as well.

"It will be an incredibly tough test to-get the win. but we have to d o it," Morehouse said. "To stay on the top of the league we have got to

have another win, and you can't win this league unless you win on the road."

A c c o r d i n g to M o r e h o u s e , the Flying Dutch cannot allow the loss to Calvin to affect them.

"We're not gonna hang our heads on this one," he said. "If you let one game determine your season, y o u ' r e not gonna have a good season."

D U T C H from I I and six steals. Lisa Hoekstra ('00) s c o r e d 12 p o i n t s with f o u r rebounds.

Next f o r the Flying D u t c h is tonight's g a m e at Alma College.

They will next host Adrian on Saturday, Jan. 24 at 3 p.m. in the Dow Center. According to Morehouse,
