Campus focus turns to Asian culture, awareness Jordan Wolfson SENIOR STAFF REPORTER
A s i a n A w a r e n e s s W e e k is intended to be more than just a ceremonial experience around H o p e ' s campus. Many Hope students have had prior experience with the multitude of cultures present in Asia, but many others have not.' T h e c o n t i n e n t of A s i a o f f e r s m a n y different cultural and educational experiences for those interested in investigating the numerous societies that live beneath its u m brella. The name Asia can be somewhat misleading at limes, since all p e o p l e h a v e d i f f e r e n t v i e w s and opinions on the eastern part of the world. T h i s is part of the reason w h y H o p e ' s Asian Perspectives Associa-
tion, the J a p a n C l u b , and the Multicultural Center plan an Asian Awareness Week every April for the students and faculty of Hope College. " F o r as long as H A P A has existed, there has been an Asian A w a r e n e s s W e e k at H o p e " said A m y Otis, the Assistant Director of
Asian Awareness Week will run f r o m April 5 to April 9. D u r i n g these days, m a n y e v e n t s will be held to help educate H o p e ' s student body about the multifaceted Asian
International Education at Hope. HAPA's mission is to aid in "promoting the diversity of the c a m p u s through the experiences, issues, and perspectives of Asians and Asian Americans that live on and off cam-

T h e panel will consist of H o p e students and A n n i e D a n d a v a t i , p r o f e s s o r of political science and advisor of HAPA.

"There are many classes and activities out there that students can get involved in to increase their k n o w l e d g e of Asia and its cultures. Life is just more interesting when you can learn about such diversity," said D a n d a v a t i . T h i s d i s c u s s i o n will take place in the M a a s Center at 4 p.m Monday. On Tuesday, Takashi Saigo, the descendant of the legendary "Last S a m u r a i " Takamori Saigo, will be c o m i n g to speak about his greatgrandfather and the history revolv-
ing around him. Takamori Saigo was the Samurai w h o stood u p to the Meiji government. He led his army of samurai, numbering 3,500, against the a r m y of the ruling g o v e r n m e n t , w h o had not only e m b r a c e d the western technology of firearms but also had as m a n y as 35,000 troops. Takamori Saigo was honored after his death when the government pardoned his actions. A statue of the f a m o u s samurai walking his dog now stands in U e n o Park in Tokyo.

Women at Hope College faced persecution Female faculty share their personal story of gender discrimination while in the workplace S P O T L I G H T Erin L'Hotta INFOCUS EDITOR
Lei it be known. In recognition of Women's History Month, n u m e r o u s Hope f e m a l e faculty and staff said they have e n c o u n t e r e d hardships while being a woman in the working world. % Yes, during times past, many w o m e n at Hope have encountered discrimination, generalization and persecution simply because of their gender. Not long ago, Hope College w a s a place w h e r e w o m e n w e r e scarcely found as faculty and staff m e m b e r s . For exa m p l e , f e w e r than 2 0 y e a r s ago, not o n e woman received tenure while teaching in the natural science field. W o m e n were regulated to roles such as a l i b r a r i a n o r s e c r e t a r y . In f a c t , D e b o r a h Sturtevant, professor and current chair of the sociology and social work department, w a s frequently thought of as the department secretary w h e n she first started teaching. Sturtevant, w h o j o i n e d the faculty in 1988 after graduating from H o p e in 1975, said she " w a s o n e of the f e w h a n d f u l s of w o m e n on f a c u l t y " w h e n first hired. Even now, she is o n e of the few f e m a l e department chairs at Hope. Sturtevant gradually worked her way u p to this leadership position. B e f o r e arriving at Hope, Sturtevant was left jobless because of her gender. While applying to be a school teacher, she was told not to work if she planned to have children.
Sturtevant applied to be a middle school principle only to receive a letter of rejection stating, "A man would make a better disciplinarian than a w o m a n . " A f ter these discouragements, Sturtevant was hired as a social w o r k p r o f e s s o r at Hopfe. T h r o u g h the consensus of her de' partment colleagues, Sturtevant was choAHCHOR PHOTOS COURTESY DEBORAH STURTEVANT sen to serve as chair.

S a n f o r d said. "Decisions w e r e often made about my future and career that weren't gender neutral, and I was purposely c o n scious of that." Joanne Stewart, another Hope chemistry professor, said she faced persecution from her p r o f e s s o r s , not c o l l e a g u e s , while at graduate school at the University of California, Berkeley. "There was blatant sexual har a s s m e n t b y my p r o f e s s o r s while in graduate school. All the female students had to stick t o g e t h e r , " s a i d S t e w a r t , explaining that even at Hope she s o m e t i m e s feels excluded being a w o m a n . "Since moving into the Science Center, I ' m the only f e m a l e office on the second floor. Sometimes it's lonely," Stewart said. At Hope, there are 38 female chemistry m a j o r s and 10 female math majors. Sanford and Stewart agreed that their advice for these w o m e n , working in a field of men, is to be prepared for their gender to be challenged. "I would like to tell female students to rigorously prepare academically at H o p e for graduate school. Talk to f e m a l e faculty bec a u s e t h e r e are m a n y social c h a l l e n g e s . W o m e n are usually left behind because the tricks of the trade are passed d o w n by word of mouth a m o n g the m e n , " Sanford said. T h r o u g h these stories, the Hope c o m m u nity m a y see that w o m e n at H o p e h a v e struggled and still struggle in the work place because of their gender. W o m e n working in the Hope c o m m u n i t y aren't an exception to gender discrimination, even during this time period and even at a place such as Hope College.

'We're getting closer, Hope, we're getting closer' To the editor:
As the end of the year approaches, I notice many people getting caught up in keeping up. As the weather gets warmer, we get increasingly less motivated - after all, we just survived another Michigan winter - who wouldn't want to enjoy the sunshine? But with the end of the semester only a few weeks away, I find myself worrying about even the 15 minutes I spend on a break in the Pine Grove, the six hours I take to sleep. With classes drawing to a close, papers, tests, presentations and projects take the majority of my worry even as 1 crave s u m m e r and the welcome three months of break ahead. I worry about balancing out the time I spend on classes, papers and homework with friends, the beach, and my increasing sense of procrastination. And then I begin to obsess over grades. I want the A's. 1 want to not just do well, as far as academics are concerned, I want to do spectacularly. And I abandon my friends for the library. I abandon my cigarettes for the sterile environment of the study room. Excepting my books, I abandon everything but soda, a bag of chips and a C D player. Throughout the year, emphasis is put on our grades, but at the end of the semester, our professors remind us to turn in assignments, I hate feeling as though my study for tests GPA is the culmination of and keep our marks in the my learning experience. back of our minds. And, to be completely honest, I hate it. 1 hate feeling as though my GPA is the culmination of my learning experience. The sentiment of many students seems to be: "Study for this lest, but as soon as it's done, you may forget all about it. Just make sure you cram the week before it." W h y ? W h y not focus on learning and enjoying what we learn? What good is it to prove that I know the exact dates when appreciation of Gothic literature was at its peak, to prove that I can scan dactylic hexameter with the accuracy of a poetic guru? Instead, I want to be able to grasp the subject while absorbing most of the details. I don't want to get so caught up in the trees that I can't see the forest. In the same way, I don't want to get so caught up in my grades that I can't see my college experience for exactly what it is - an opportunity to grow and learn about what interests me. So my goal for these last few weeks of the semester is to take a deep breath and step back from this grade-driven society that is Hope College. I ' m not going to stop studying or stop trying to finish out my classes, but I ' m going to make a conscious effort to put more emphasis on my learning and my appreciation of this time I have at Hope rather than losing sleep over my GPA.

This letter is not meant to directly address the prior letter "of the nondiverse," but to address the increasingly negative connotation of the word "diversity" at Hope. When we hear diversity, our first thought is white people out, people of color in. That is not, and should not be, the goal of diversity. Diversity means "a variety": a variety of men, w o m e n , races, ethnicities, b o d y types, religions, sexual orientations, and socioeconomic status, just to name a few. One of the reasons students relentlessly appeal for more diversity at Hope is some of the intolerance that they, or those they know, encounter at the hands of a smattering of Hope students. Those stu-
dents, either knowingly or accidentally, offend other students out of their ignorance. Ignorance is unavoidable; we all have it, like the common cold. Although there is no cure for the common cold or ignorance, we can relieve the symptoms. At one time, we believed the Earth was flat, we viewed women as the property of their husbands, and we even justified the lynching and enslavement of a race for h u n d r e d s of years. What made us change our minds? It was not accomplished by surrounding ourselves with individuals who held the same views. We had to immerse ourselves in the unknown in order to accept what was d i f f e r e n t . We u n k n o w i n g l y believed in many fallacies partly because we did not have an opposing
voice to argue against our claims. Diversifying Hope does not mean the college devalues the current students attending Hope, or the future students. Diversifying Hope means giving the other side of the e q u a t i o n — w h e t h e r that includes those of different races, ethnicities, sexual orientation, or religion. We need to take the initiative to c h a n g e . I a p p l a u d the c a m p u s ' growing awareness of diversity at Hope. Discussion is the only way we will hash out this problem and c o m e to a resolution. Frederick Douglas, a famous black abolitionist, once said, "Without struggle, there is no progress." We're gettihg closer Hope, we're getting closer.

National media services should not be above criticism To the editor: After reading "'typos, misquoting unacceptable in college publication" (Anchor 3/10), I put down the paper with a few questions in my head. This letter was all too familiar, since I was on the Anchor staff for three and a half years and was the editor for a year and a half of that tenure. My first instinct is to tell Stephanie Koenke to become part of the Anchor staff. All you have to do is look at the small staff box every week to know how much everyone on staff has to work to get this publication out. When you add in classes and a social life, it is no wonder why a few minor errors sneak in. The paper needs help; why don't you offer yours? After my original reaction, a much larger concern came to me. On campus, the Anchor is regularly criticized for the occasional misspelling, but almost nobody in the nation has publicly denounced Fox News or C N N for their transgressions, which tend to be much larger. In 2000, for example. Fox News announced that George W. Bush had won the election before they had any proof one way or the other, which prompted all the other major news networks to announce the same so they didn't seem behind. Much more recently, two news networks reported the Martha Stewart verdict incorrectly because they were in such a rush to be the first to report it. Throughout the Iraq war, all major news networks were forced to keep the civilian body count, which www.iraqbodycount.net n o w places it at between
8,790 and 10,369, away f r o m the eyes of the American public. Similarly, the embedded reporters could not show any of the horrors of the war, painting a rosy picture of our aggressions. Despite all of these problems, which are on a much larger scale than a simple copy editor's oversight, the major news conglomerates have drawn next to no fire, no criticism. But I do understand this a little bit. Taking down a major media outlet is daunting and seems impossible. Silencing something like Clear Channel is not an easy task and may prove to be impossible, but I a m willing to do my part, even if I gain nothing more than a clear conscience. So where would one start? Well, a good beginning is coming up this April 19 through 25. That week is Adbusters ' T V T u m o f f Week" (www.adbusters.org/ testing/psycho/tvturnoff/index. html). To show these media monsters that think they are above the law that we are the ones in charge, just turn off the TV. By not giving your time and attention to them and their advertisers, you are wasting their energy. This event also supports Adbusters' "Media Carta" movement {www.mediacarta.org)y which demands the return of important media outlets to the people, where they rightly belong. Once again, a wave of apathy has gripped our nation by the throat. Let us now prove that we can rise above our indoctrinated laziness and dependency and really make a difference in our world. —Nick

Flying Dutch and Saints split games Softball splits two games against visiting Aquinas College Andy Borozan S P O R T S EDITOR
The Flying Dutch batted .500 on the day. taking the second game of a doubleheader in non-league play against Aquinas College. Both games came down to the wire and a late surge in the second game gave Hope the win to move them to 6-6 on the season. T h e first game witnessed stunning outings for Aquinas pitchers Kristen Hulst and Marisa Poelman, as they held the Dutch to just three hits on the a f t e r n o o n . H o p e did snatch the early lead in the third after a walk by Lauren Vande Kopple ( ' 0 5 ) and a double by Kara Sayger ('04). But a quick answer in the fourth by the Saints tied it up at one. The Saints then won it 2-1 in the ninth on a run scoring double by Bonnie Spiegelberg. Shortstop

Dutchmen compete with wet grounds Weather postpones Friday's game; split Saturday's games Brad Vanderberg S P O R T S EDITOR
A total of eight runs were scored on a warm Saturday afternoon in Holland as the Flying Dutchmen split its first M I A A doubleheader with the visiting Scots of Alma dropping the first game 3-0 and taking the second 4-1. Coach Stu Fritz's young Dutchmen moved to a 9-7 overall record after F r i d a y ' s single game was postponed due to wet fields. Finally, the weather cooperated on Saturday, as temperatures were in the middle to upper 60s. The warm, spring weather did not help either club's offense in the afternoon, as all four starting hurlers pitched complete games. In g a m e o n e , f a n s w i t n e s s e d a c l a s s i c pitcher's duel as the Dutchmen were not able to figure out Alma sophomore starting righthander Brandon Teenier. Only three Hope hitters could manage a hit against Teenier as he went the distance in seven innings allowing only five Dutchmen to reach base safely and struck out four. Hope starter Kenny Bart ('04) was strong, but not strong enough. Bart also went the distance allowing three runs on six hits and fanning seven Scots. Alma scored a run each in

Hope in driver's seat of Commissioner's Cup race The M I A A Commissioner's Cup has existed since the 1934-35 school year and again, Hope College is in the driving seat for the 2003-04 school year. As many would guess, Hope and Calvin College are always neck-and-neck during each sports season, and the standings in the M I A A Commissioner's C u p isn't any different. Through the winter sports season, the Flying Dutchmen and Flying Dutch have accumulated 121 points compared to Calvin's 111. Point totals are awarded through M I A A championships, whether won outright or shared. Currently, the points are awarded through five of six m e n ' s and w o m e n ' s sports. After the school year is completed, final standings will be based on eight men's and w o m e n ' s sports. This school year, the Dutchmen have captured a football co-championship and outright championships in swimming and diving, golf, soccer and basketball. The Flying Dutch have won two outright M I A A championships in soccer and swimming and diving. With its 25th Commissioner's C u p already in the books after the 2002-03 school year, Hope would like to capture its 26th in school history after the baseball, softball, tennis and track seasons conclude.
