When Mary Jellema slaried teaching ai H o p e in 1968, Neil Armstrong had yel to walk on the moon, Nixon was running the country, and Calvin VanderWerf was president of the college. This May. Jellema and fellow English professor Jane Bach will retire. Bach began t e a c h i n g in 1975. Combined, the pair has more than 50 years of teaching experience. Jellema, however, took time off during her career to raise her children and teach intermittently in other places. During her tenure, Jellema found her relationships with students and faculty to be a source of joy. 4 i really enjoy the students, I always have." Jellema said. "I enjoy

Hope College increases tuition on an average of three percent every year. A c c o r d i n g to Bill A n d e r s o n , Vice President of Finance, this increase goes mainly to pay for the increase in the salaries of faculty and staff. Roughly 90 percent goes to these increases while the other 10 percent goes to supplies, technology improvements, research opportunities for students and utilities for
buildings. This year's increase pushes tuition up to $16,554, $620 higher than last year's. This amount is lower than the previous year's increase of $780. "Usually we have to increase tuition the same amount to balance the budget," Anderson said. Even Kelly Morrison ('01), the S t u d e n t L i a i s o n to the Board of Trustees C o m m i t t e e for Business and Finance and Student Congress Comptroller, sees the need for the increase.

Speaker chosen • Will Miller selected as Congress speaker in place of Sharon Wood. CARRIE A R N O L D campusbeat editor
Student Congress speaker Sharon Wood will no longer address the Hope College c o m m u nity, d u e to a conflict with her agency. Wood, who was the first female to climb Mt. Everest, is scheduled to be in Hong Kong on April 6. A l s o , her f e e w a s raised f r o m $6000 to $10,000, more than Student Congress had budgeted for the event. "Unfortunately, unexpected things h a p p e n e d , " said Louis Canfield ('01), Student Congress President. T h i s w a s a n n o u n c e d at the Thursday, Feb. 24 Student Congress meeting, where the Congress voted to rescind their invitation for Wood and invite second choice Will Miller instead. Miller, who finished a close second in the voting this past winter, is an ordained minister and a standup comedian. He also hosts Nick at Nite's " W h y We Watch" television segments and is their resident Television Therapist. "I don't think there will be any d i f f e r e n c e in quality," C a n f i e l d said.

I'll graduate with thousands in debt and I have friends working towards the same degree that will have none." Even while s o m e students are struggling, the c o n s e n s u s of the Admissions and Finance Committee at Hope has staled in meetings that the average Hope student is becoming more affluent. They also resolved in recent meetings to raise the amount of the Trustee Scholarship , although this will only affect six students each year.

"It's a matter of trying to slay competitive with other colleges hiring faculty," said Anderson. " M y guess is that we are right in the ballpark with. Other colleges that are faculty driven will go up about the same amount." This raises a dilemma for some students who fund their education on their own and it has lead them to examine their future status at Hope. These students wonder about scholarships that cannot keep up with the growing costs of tuition.

So rather than taking the lime lo address jusl one of the many problems existing al Hope, I'll take the chance to display my wisdom on a number of topics. Enjoy. • The Hope College administration blew it big lime with their trip decision. Requiring a chaperon (I know that's not what the administration wants lo call it. but let's be honest, il might as well be our parents coming. Shudder.) lo accompany students on all schoolsponsored trips is plain stupid. Last lime I checked 1 was allowed lo drive when I was 16. I was an adult when I was turned 18. and I could smoke, buy porn, vote, etc. Now I c a n ' l go lo Minneapolis because Ihe administration is dealing the heavy hand? Get real. If Hope wanls to treat me like a child, then maybe it's time I act like a child (not like I haven't already, but when will that ever change?). • The amount of anonymous hale-mail I get is amusing. This week I was called a "pathetic loser" and "needy." I guess that's OK since, as editor-in-chief, my name and face is associated with
anything published in the Anchor. If people want to criticize me, that's fine. But don't do it the cowardly way. Instead talk lo me about il. Drop the Anchor or me (zm646200@hope.edu) an e-mail. Leave a message in the Anchor office. But don't send nameless messages telling us we suck. They only end up gelling mocked. • The fact that the w o m e n ' s basketball team didn't make the N C A A Division III tournament is a crock. Sure, I ' m more than a little biased, but when a team from outside the Great Lakes Region bumps ihe Flying Dutch, a little anger is justified. Automatic berths notwithstanding, I find it hard to believe that Hope could be ranked in the Top 25 and third in the region, only lo drop out of the tournament picture completely. The fact that the Flying Dutch fought their way into the tourney the past two years should be taken into account, along with their 215 record. The N C A A dropped the ball on this one; Hope earned its spot. • Does anyone, anywhere at all understand why I get miffed about the lack of letters to the editor? Anybody? • What's the deal with the new ID numbers issued by the college? A smart move was made in
Michael Zuidema changing the e-mail addresses to a firstname.Iastname style. But what's the point in changing the ID number for seniors? Seems a little annoying and pointless. • Holland city residents recently voted down a measure that would have installed Internet filters on Herrick District Library computers lo prevent children from accessing things like pornography. Now filter supporters want to create a compromise with the library. Umm...didn't you lose? You didn't want a compromise months ago. why should you get one now? • The recent parking policy changes seem a little odd and excessive. I don't remember anyone ever getting hit by cars parking for a few minutes in "pedestrian areas." According to new rules, parents can't even park in newly restricted areas to help students move in and out. Lighten up Public Safely. The campus community complains enough about parking without having the issue reheated. Parking in front of the DeWitt Center for five minutes isn't going to hurt anyone.

I feel the need lo respond to the letter to the editor, by two c o n cerned parents, in last week's Anchor. I found their self-righteous speech to be a typical Holland response to an incident that, in their minds, should never happen in the happy little community of Holland. They are correct, there is no place in society for rape. Is the Hope College campus immune from rape? Apparently nol. Realistically, will it ever be? Probably not. But last week's letter gave me the impression that the parents had the solution. Anyone who doesn't live by the law of God "needs to leave this campus and go w h t f e they can fulfill their base desires al the expense of others." It's people like lhat lhal make me wanl to pack my bags and leave them lo their perfect sinless world. You know what?

rape failed, student
I am a Christian and I have sinned. M a y b e the H o l l a n d c o m m u n i t y should have constructed a firewall four years ago to keep me out so I could "fulfill my base desires" elsewhere. It angers me because I feel lhat Christians are past the point, but then I ' m quickly reminded, with statements like the one made last week, of how much further we must progress. Il is people like this that turn so many people away from the Christian failh with self-righteous jargon. I understand that their concern is for student safety. In the case of the disturbing rape occurrence last fall, I believe the girl should have looked more closely al her own personal safely with the events leading up to the appalling acts conducted by the men involved. Taking responsibility for my actions is a virtue that I like lo live by. The guys involved will rightfully s u f f e r the c o n s e -

There are many college students that indulge themselves in alcohol and drugs, but they should not be expected to be raped because of it. On the other hand, especially in today's society, we must consider the possibility of such an act occurring and lake action to prevent il, as sad as that may sound. That responsibility must be placed jusl as m u c h on the woman as with the man, or men in this case. My interpretation of the event leads me lo believe that both sides failed. That is why I hold zero pity for both parties involved. On s e c o n d t h o u g h t , l e t ' s j u s t build a firewall.

mentoring program over the last three years. The program has had two m a j o r aspects. T h e first involves dinner meetings for faculty in their second year which help new faculty understand the mission of Hope College, including its coniexl in the historic Christian failh. The second involves mentoring pairs composed of faculty in the second and third year cooperating with a senior faculty member. I organized the dinner meeting part of the program for ihe first two years; Prof e s s o r Steve B o u m a - P r e d i g e r is overseeing the dinner meeting this
year. Professor Nancy Nicodemus ran the mentoring-pairs program its first two years; Professor Barbara M e z e s k e is currently overseeing this part of the program.
