New Dean Appointed

by G r e g Olgers Dr. Philip E. Beal has been appointed the new Dean for Student Development of Hope College.

The title " D e a n for Student D e v e l o p m e n t " replaces the title " D e a n of S t u d e n t s " used in y e a r s past. The new title is seen as m o r e descriptive of the D e a n ' s role at Hope.

He held various various positions in the University of Oregon Dean of Students office until 1970. F r o m 1968 until 1978 he served in a n u m b e r of roles at P a c i f i c Lutheran University, including dean of men, dean for student life, and vice-president and dean for student life.

A m e m b e r of the Hope faculty since 1966, Petrovich was a scholar of E a s t E u r o p e a n studies and an internationally r e s p e c t e d interpreter of Serbo-Croatian, the language of Yugoslavia.

Twice he served a s the interp r e t e r to U n i t e d S t a t e s presidents, t h e first t i m e in 1978 for President J i m m y C a r t e r during a visit by the late Yugoslav President Marshall Tito a n d again in 1984 for P r e s i d e n t Ronald R e a g a n during a s t a t e visit by Y u g o s l a v i a n P r i m e Minister Milka P a n i n c . He also served as an i n t e r p r e t e r for t h e U.S. D e p a r t m e n t s of State a n d Treasury.

He had been described by a representative of the U.S. S t a t e D e p a r t m e n t a s " c l e a r l y the best, in interpreting ability and comm a n d of English and Serbo Croatian."

A native of Yugoslavia and a naturalized citizen of the United States, Petrovich c a m e to this country at the age of 21. He worked for the U.S. D e p a r t m e n t of State as an escort i n t e r p r e t e r for five y e a r s before joining the Hope faculty.

He held t h e a c a d e m i c r a n k of associate professor of history. He taught courses in E u r o p e a n

history, with specialization in Balkan and Russian history. He founded the Hope College May Term in Yugoslavia and had recently r e t u r n e d f r o m leading a group of students on the 1986 program (see article next issue).

Petrovich w a s also the creator of t h e c o l l e g e ' s a n n u a l Rendevous with History, a d r a m a t i c p o r t r a y a l of historic figures by m e m b e r s of the Hope faculty.

Among them was the review panel for the prestigious Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Disertation and Faculty Research Abroad p r o g r a m . He had also studied abroad as a Fulbright Scholar.

Petrovich w a s born S e p t e m b e r 29, 1933 in Zemun, Yugoslavia.

He left Yugoslavia in 1954 and studied industrial design and English in London before receiving a scholarship f r o m Shepherd College in West Virginia. He later r e c e i v e d the m a s t e r ' s degree in international relations and the Ph.D. in history from the University of Chicago.

HOPE COLLEGE ANCHOR

From the Editor Hello and welcome!

1 suppose that you could safely assume that the summer is officially over when classes begin and the old college routine is tried once again. At any rate, I gather that the summer proved stimulating enough and if not, then coming back to Hope may seem like the real vacation.

Vandervelde. Jon will be familiarizing the city of HoUand and the campus itself to you students through advertising and hoprefully will also help us to keep ahead of our proposed budget for the coming year.

So, here we are again within the pages of the Anchor, ready and able to bring to you the news of the campus and surrounding area.

Senior Katey Vierkorn will enter at this point as the new business manager to keep track of in-flow and out-flow by forever balancing the books, keeping the Anchor out of the red.

And not only the news, but also volatile, controversial issues on current topics as well as schedules of activities in the various departments of Hope's fine arts.

Freshman (can you believe it?) Paul Chamness is going to be bringing his skills as a photographer to head up that very important field of the paper.

Invariably, this new academic year has seen some personnel changes at all levels of the staff and has brought together some of the msot adept and creative minds that this place has to offer. So in order to avoid sounding too pompous, I'll just introduce the members of this year's staff and as time goes on, they will become more familiar through their work in these hallowed pages.

On either side of me will be two very capable editors. One is familiar to us as having been a news reporter for the past year.'

Entering his sophomore year, Brian Breen is to be the assistant to the editor and will soon become familiar with the Anchor processes.

First off, handling the mechanics of getting the printed material into this form will be typists K.L. Harter, Jocelyn Jonikas, and Wendy West. Believe me, their task is monumental, but they're sure to be able to meet its demands.

One of the many new faces on our staff is news editor Theresa McPherson. Theresa is a senior who is palnning on a career in law via her philosophy background. Handling news will come as her second nature.

Junior Ben Hanneman in not unfamiliar to the Anchor as he comes from a very prolific reputation as sports writer for the past two years for this newspaper. This year, Ben will head up the sports department as editor covering not only his two favorite sports football and basketball, but also those less-than-publicized Hope competitions.

Whitney Leigh is going to be holding down the position of features editor. Whitney's a senior political science major who has a habit of getting into everything.

Our arts and entertainment editor is none other than Dave Hepenstal. Dave held the post last year and did a fantastic job of covering the various music, theatre, and other fine arts activities around campus.

Another new member of the staff is advertising manager Jon

The third part of this triad has taken the title of consulting editor and is very much in tune with how the paper works. Coming out of the mothballs, is the ubiquitous Phil Tanis who does much of everything and very well I may add.

Finishing out the rest of the staff will be a motley crew of reporters, columnists, photographers, and cartoonists.

In a nutshell, this is who will be behind what you read in this college publication and whom to contact in the event you may see a story unfold.

From now on I will open the invitation to anyone who would like to join our staff in any area. Feel welcome to let us know what is going on in this place if we fail to discover it, and our door is (nearly) always open in the Student Offices complex in the DeWitt Center.

Good luck to everyone this semester and welcome (back) to all students.

Lou Valantasis, Editor-in-Chief

Remembering Michael Petrovich The death of Dr. Michael Petrovich in July was a shocking blow to his colleagues, students, friends, and m a n y others. A memorial service was held for Dr. Petrovich on July 19. The following a r e e x c e r p t s from what was said then and from letters sent to the college by those who r e m e m b e r e d and c a r e d . from Provost J a c o b E. Nyenhuis T h e d e a t h of M i c h a e l Petrovich c a m e as a tremendous blow to all of us at Hope College, leaving us with a void which no one else can fill. E a c h of us has a different m e m o r y of Mike, but in our common m e m o r y there is a p i c t u r e of a d y n a m i c , imaginative, energetic, seemingly indefatigable individual. One cannot condense into a few minutes the lifetime of service to the College, to Mike's native and adopted countries, and to international understanding...

Mike...stimulated a love for history in m a n y . . . w a y s . For example, his creation of the annual "Rendevous with History," in which he o r c h e s t r a t e d faculty and student colleagues in a d r a m a t i c p o r t r a y a l of historic figures engaged in dialogue on a

significant theme, won r a v e r e v i e w s f r o m high school students attending the Arts and Humanities Fair and from alumni who were treated to a repeat p e r f o r m a n c e at the Winter Happening in F e b r u a r y .

distinction and honor and to participate in historical events. Professor Petrovich will always be r e m e m b e r e d as a r e m a r k a b l e educator and an exemplary m a n .

The void he leaves behind can never be filled.

from Robert J. Donia, alumnus I wish to express s y m p a t h i e s to you and the Hope community in the death of Mike Petrovich.

Mike's enthusiasm for learning and for the truth was contagious for those of us who studied or first experienced foreign lands under his guidance. He was a teacher both by profession and by passion, and he inspired many students to c a r e e r s in teaching and international affairs. His leadership and teaching will be sorely missed. But the impact of his c o m m i t m e n t to peace and international understanding will be felt for generations to come.

from H a r r y Obst, D e p a r t m e n t of State He gave to the Department of State, and thus to the entire nation, dedicated and valuable assistance during various interpreting missions over the last twenty-five y e a r s . Such was his talent that we entrusted him with s o m e of the most difficult d i p l o m a t i c i n t e r p r e t i n g missions. His o u t s t a n d i n g perf o r m a n c e during the State Visit of President Tito in 1978 and the visit of P r i m e Minister Milka P l a n i n c in 1985 is f o n d l y r e m e m b e r e d by all of us.

from Conrgessman Guy Vander Jagt During his y e a r s in education.

Professor Petrovich showed unparalleled devotion to his work and his students. His m a s t e r y of eight languages enabled him to serve his country with great

from f o r m e r Hope President Calvin VanderWerf Mike, as we all know, was, in the literal sense, a top interp r e t e r for the politically powerful of the world. But, at the s a m e time, he was also an interpreter in a much broader and richer senseâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;an interpreter of one peo-

ple, one way of life, and one culture to another. He spent a lifetime as an a m b a s s a d o r of goodwill and peace, building bridges of understanding and r e s p e c t b e t w e e n the y o u n g leaders of tomorrow in two vastly different worlds.

Mike found his Beruf. his holy calling, in helping ordinary peoples of our globe understand, appreciate, and cooperate with each other. The f e r v o r he brought to his a m b a s s a d o r s h i p was an inspiration for both students and faculty and was a big factor in enlarging and enhancing Hope's preeminent leadership and reputation in international education.

There is another side to Mike's c h a r a c t e r that we also laud todayâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;his absolute professional intergrity.

Mike was proud to be a professor at Hope College, proud to be teaching outstanding men and women, and he was determined to be 100 percent authentic.

Discovered by Paul Fried, Mike was hired by the College without an a c a d e m i c background, on the strength of outstanding recommendations and his international experiences, and of the nobility

and integrity we all admired in him. In his own mind, this was not enough to qualify Mike for the teaching profession. On his own time and at his own expense.

Mike drove back and forth to the University of Chicago to earn his Ph.D. degree from that institution. This, he felt, not only enriched his background and teaching, but also d e m o n s t r a t e d h i s r i g h t to t h e t i t l e of " P r o f e s s o r " and enabled him to serve his students with total c r e d i b i l i t y and p r o f e s s i o n a l authenticity. And this he did faithfully and a d m i r a b K ^ a s our own daughter and hundreds of others of his grateful students will attest. from Irwin A b r a m s , Distinguished U n i v e r s i t y P r o f e s s o r E m e r i t u s , Antioch University It is hard to believe that that great heart is stilled, that that contagious joie de vivre is no more, that that irrepressible vitality is no longer h e r e to stir us, that my dear friend Mike has left us.

I often discussed with Mike his studied in the Dubrovnik arp l e a s e s e e PETROVICH, p a g e 4

Vigor and determination were the hallmarks of Mike Petrovich.

He always proceeded a s though there w a s no problem he could not surmount, whether it had to do w i t h the i n t r i c a c i e s of h i s t o r i c a l r e s e a r c h or the perplexities of a group travel schedule.

Mike's was an indomitable spirit. His great heart m a y have c e a s e d to b e a t , b u t h i s dynamism, his unconquerable approach to life, his warm friendship that we were privileged to share—all this h a s made our lives the richer. Mike's spirit is still v e r y much with us.

from George Arwady, alumnus, editor and publisher of the Muskegon Chronicle It is h a r d to imagine that we never again will enjoy Mike Petrovich's laughing eyes; his humor; his sly, all-knowing look that quickly s p r e a d into a toothy grin; his great energy level and his infectious enthusiasm for life.

As a history m a j o r at Hope during the late 1960s, I took a number of classes with Mike. His knowledge of E a s t e r n European history and politics was impressive, but it was his passion for the subject m a t t e r that I r e m e m b e r best.

That passion c a m e out most vividly for me during the summer of 1968. Mike served that s u m m e r a s leader for the eastern tour of the Vienna Summer School, a s a teacher of SerboCroatian in Vienna, and as a leader of the GLCA YugoslavAmerican seminar in his native Yugoslavia. I participated in all three p r o g r a m s , and grew fond of Mike a s a person as well as a teacher. I can r e m e m b e r him sparring o v e r ideology with out Intourist guide in the Soviet Union. I r e m e m b e r him chatting excitedly with a Russian Orthodox monk a t Sagorsk in the Soviet Union. I also can r e m e m b e r his personal tension before crossing the border into Yugoslavia for the first time since fleeing his native land.

Mike went back into Yugoslavia as a proud American citizen, in the tradition of those other great foreigh-born Americans who have been so justly honored this s u m m e r . His time with us w a s f a r too short, but he left a m a j o r m a r k on international relations, on his scholarly field of study, on Hope College, and on m a n y of his students.

I am honored to count myself among those for whom Mike Petrovich's life m a d e a difference. I am thankful for his friendship and for his life among us. from R a n d y Durband, alumnus I have been extremely fortunate to know Mike Petrovich both as a teacher and a s a dear friend.

erupts usually e v e r y early April.

Snow. A Good Thing, but only for a few months. Holland tends to get buried under snow every winter, and Hope, being a p a r t of Holland, is no exception to this.

Four or five feet ain't uncommon, so you b e t t e r like white and you better like cold and you better like a lot of ti since it s t a y s around f r o m N o v e m b e r to April, and m a d e a valiant effort to last into May this p a s t y e a r .

Along with snow comes Colds.

A Good Thing, if you like having all your classes cancelled for a week, a Bad Thing if you got it.

Last year, three different types of flu hit Hope's c m a p u s , and there w a s something like sixty percent a b s e n t e e r a t e a m o n g the professors. This w a s a Very Bad Thing, cuz s o m e of them w e r e gone for two weeks and h a d to c r a m t h a t m a t e r i a l into their remaining lecture times, and this is not fun. ven less f u n is when you get the d a m n e d bug right before a week of t e s t s (see below) or immediately preceeding a b r e a k .

Tests, p a r t one. Hope profs a r e generally considerate about scheduling t e s t s and p a p e r s .

However, despite all p r e c a u tions, and s o m e t i m e s b e c a u s e of them, there a r e w e e k s that have, oh, five or so t e s t s or p a p e r s or m a y b e both due within a five day period. Bad Thing, s q u a r e d . Do not expect to e a r , sleep, or h a v e a social life during these times.

They happen r a r e l y , but when they do, w a t c h out.

Tests, p a r t two. Finals. A Good Thing, if you're a senior, b e c a u s e you're used to taking them and

Page 5 there's no real t e r r o r in them, and most a r e just final tests and not cumulative by this time either. F o r f r e s h m e n , a Bad Thing, b e c a u s e you a l w a y s panic. I did, m y r o o m m a t e did, everyone in the hall did (except the seniors), and you will, too. If not, you a r e n ' t a f r e s h m a n . You just think you a r e .

Phil Tanis. A Good Thing. He's a student here, and h e ' s also the second w a r d city councilman, which m e a n s his jurisdiction involves Hope and the downtown a r e a . So, if ya got a p r o b l e m s and a r e r e g i s t e r e d in this a r e a , go and holler at Phil. He loves to be hollered at. T r u s t me. When you're done hollering, ask him about last y e a r ' s Stem Festival and he'll holler at you for a while.

Turnabout is fair play and all that.

The Sun Dog. T h e r e a r e two that I know of within walking distance of the c a m p u s . They a r e immensely Good Things, and a r e done by Bill M a y e r , an a r t prof here. ONe of t h e m is the big black t h i n g a m a j i g in front of the c a f e t e r i a windows, the other is a big colorful thing in front of Herrick Public L i b r a r y (corner of River and 12th). Why a r e they good?Cuz they a r e so un-Holland.

The Herrick 'Dog has colors, which is enough to terrify any Holland resident, and the Phelps one is black, which no one u n d e r s t a n d s . Look at em for a while, w a n d e r around each, check out the different angles and perspectives and then way whether you like it or not. Don't m a k e a decision b a s e d on the fact

HOPE COLLEGE ANCHOR

Orientation Packed with Events A host of activities awaits the new students during Orientation Weekend.

Necessities a r e combined with many helpful and fun events to give new students an overview of what life is like at Hope.

Among the highlights of Orientation a r e : Picnic in the Pinegrove. This annual event allows all new students and their families to meet 'and e a t (with) other new students and their families. Held from 5:00 to 6:30 p . m . on Saturday in the Pine Grove it f e a t u r e s a traditional picnic m e a l of b u r g e r s and dogs with plenty of salad and juice.

P l a y f a i r ; 9:30 p.m., S a t u r d a y , Dow Center G y m . Stated as t 4 an absolute m u s t for All New Students," P l a y f a i r is an interesting event which forces students to m e e t other students in a fun filled hour (or so) of g a m e s and activities. In its second year, P l a y f a i r was a big success at last y e a r ' s Orientation and the high point of it for m a n y students.

Topical Discussions. Varied in nature, these discussions let new students talk to old students and m e m b e r s of the Hope faculty and staff to get a pretty good idea of what to expect here. P a r e n t s a r e given their own sessions to clue them in on various a s p e c t s of Hope.

All-College Dance. Sponsored by the Social Activities Committee, this annual event is f r e e and features a live band (something of a r a r i t y at dances h e r e ) . Old and new students a r e invited and encouraged to attend, mingling for the first time (but probably not the last). Held in Phelps, it begins at 9 p.m. on Monday.

Opening Convocation; 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, Dimnent Chapel.

An annual event at colleges across the country, the convocation officially opens the school year (even though students have suffered through a full day of classes a l r e a d y ) . The featured speaker this y e a r is Manford Byrd, s u p e r i n t e n d e n t of the Chicago public schools s y s t e m .

Ice C r e a m Social; 8:30 p.m., Tuesday. I m m e d i a t e l y following the opening convocation, this is a f r e e e v e n t held in P h e l p s Cafeteria.

Among that pile of things to do, new students also h a v e to get settled into their room, get their I.D. picture taken (in either the Haworth or Otte rooms in Phelps at most t i m e s ) , buy their books, eat, sleep, etc.

All in all, Orientation does a pretty good job of getting the new students running at a good pace for the s e m e s t e r .

Opening B a n q u e t ; 6 p.m., Sunday, Phelps Dining Hall. This annual event gives the new students some of the best food t h e y ' r e likely to ever h a v e in Phelps.

D.R.I.N.K; 9:30 p.m., Sunday, the Kletz ( b a s e m e n t of DeWitt).

In its second y e a r D.R.I.N.K. is a combination non-alcoholic b a r and discussion session about alcohol. Done in a lively m a n n e r , it involves students in an informational overview of s o m e of the f a c t s of drinking. T h e b a r which c o m p l e m e n t s the session is not to be missed (nor a r e the bartenders).

HOPE COLLEGE ANCHOR

Classes Begin Tuesday !

Orientation for new Hope students begins today a s Hope begins its 125th academic year (see related article).

Classes start Tuesday, September 2.

A slight enrollment decrease is being projected by college officials. The number of students expected to study at Hope this y e a r is projected to be 2,480 compared to 2,522 in 1985-86, acc o r d i n g to R e g i s t r a r J o n Huisken. This count includes part-time students and those studying in off-campus p r o g r a m s .

The modest decrease in enrollment is attributed to last y e a r ' s unusually large graduating class, said Huisken. The admissions goal for new students was

achieved as the f r e s h m a n class is expected to n u m b e r approximately 580 students.

The annual Fall Convocation will formally open the school year on Tuesday, September 2 at 7:30 p.m. in Dimnent.

The speaker will be Manford Byrd, the superintendent of Chicago public schools, the nation's second largest school system. Byrd has held his present post since 1985. He is a graduate of Central College in Pella, Iowa and holds a m a s t e r ' s degree from Atlanta University and a Ph.D. f r o m Northwestern University. He is the author of "The Widening World of the Principalship", ^Educating Black Youth in the 4 So-Called'

White E s t a b l i s h m e n t , " a n d "Testing Under F i r e : Chicago's Program."

The Board of Trustees will confer an honorary Doctor of Letters degree upon Byrd and a Doctor of Laws degree upon L. Homer Surbeck, a retired attorney and a m e m b e r of the Reformed Church in A m e r i c a f r o m A t h e r t o n , California.

A 1927 m a g n a cum laude Yale Law School graduate, Surbeck served as the law secretary to Chief Justice William Howard Taft shortly a f t e r graduation and was a m e m b e r with the distinguished New York City law firm of Hughes, Hubbard, and Reed for the rest of his c a r e e r .

Duane T e r p s t r a of Holland has been promoted to the position of assistant director of Public Safety, Bruce Himebaugh, director of h u m a n resources, announced in June. . T e r p s t r a h a s been at Hope since 1981 and previously held t h e p o s t of p u b l i c s a f e t y p a t r o l m a n and fire safety specialist. He h a s participated in n u m e r o u s in-service t r a i n i n g p r o g r a m s including the Michigan Certified F i r e Inspector's School.

T e r p s t r a is a g r a d u a t e of Grand Valley State College and is currently working toward a m a s t e r ' s d e g r e e . a t Western Michigan University.

Big Bucks Needed for Colleges "Over the next decade, America's top liberal a r t s colleges must invest a total of one billion dollars above current c o mmitme n ts if they a r e to maintain and enhance their present strong position in basic science," said a recent study entitled "Maintaining A m e r i c a ' s Productivity: The Necessity of the Liberal Arts Colleges."

Commissioned by 50 of the nation's leading p r i v a t e liberal arts colleges," including Hope, the study cited the need for these institutions to band together to "choreograph our representation in Washington and launch a more systematic fund-raising effort with foundations, corporations, and the federal g o v e r n m e n t , " said S. F r e d e r i c k S t a r r , president of Oberlin College where the study was assembled.

Sam C a r r i e r , the r e p o r t ' s author, noted that although the number of u n d e r g r a d u a t e s in the basic sciences a r e declining nationally, they h a v e increased at the 50 liberal a r t s colleges. Yet, with their science n u m b e r s on the rise, these colleges have not received proportionate funding from the federal government and other sources, C a r r i e r said.

The report suggested that one billion dollars needs to be spent on faculty s u p p o r t and instrumentation improvement over the next ten y e a r s .

"The 1985 report h a s been widely cited in influential policy making circles and h a s successfully sensitized national science policy m a k e r s to the crucial role t h a t these colleges play in the nation's science and technology e n t e r p r i s e , " said Brink. " W h e r e a s the 1985 conference focused on n u m b e r s of science students and graduates, this y e a r ' s conference emphasized the m o r e difficult to assess question of quality of the science graduates. P r e l i m i n a r y d a t a indicates t h a t several of the colleges studied stand fully on p a r with leading r e s e a r c h universities and in s o m e instances exceed t h e m in the quality of science g r a d u a t e s , " he added.

This y e a r ' s study also found that educating women a t these institutions is increasing. It also reported that "student-faculty research is the h a l l m a r k of these coUeges."

The 50 colleges selected for this study were d e t e r m i n e d on the basis of National Science Foundation grants, student test scores, and the n u m b e r of doctorates a w a r d e d to science alumni.

Staff Shuffling

Five Hope n a t u r a l science division professors were awarded grants f r o m the National Science Foundation to support their teaching and research.

The grants totaling $57,133 were for the work of Dr. P e t e r Gonthier, assistant professor of physics; Dr. Christopher Barney, assistant professor of biology; Dr. E d Hansen, assistant professor of geology; Dr. Michael Silver, assitant professor of chemistry; and Dr. P e t e r Jolivette, associate professor of physics.

A $27,820 g r a n t was a w a r d e d to Dr. Gonthier in support of his r e s e a r c h on " P r o b i n g Heavy Ion Reactions with Light Charged P a r t i c l e E m i s s i o n . " In this ongoing r e s e a r c h through the summ e r and a c a d e m i c year, he will be studying the correlation between two particles in a nuclear collision with t h e intent of gaining a better understanding of the b e h a v i o r of n u c l e a r energy (heat) and the forces that govern that process.

His work h a s included the employment of three student r e s e a r c h e r s a n d a visit to Michigan State University for equipment utilization. Dr. Gonthier has been a m e m b e r of the Hope faculty since 1983 and holds his b a c h e l o r ' s and doctoral d e g r e e s f r o m T e x a s A&M University.

Dr. Barney h a s been awarded a $8,870 instrumentation grant for teaching purposes toward the acquisition of a computerized d a t a acquisition system.

Jolivette Awarded Peter Jolivette, associate professor of physics, has been awarded a three y e a r $81,140 grant by the National Science Foundation for his work entitled "Charge Symmetry Breaking and Other I m m e d i a t e Energy Nuclear Physics E x p e r i m e n t s . " Jolivette's experimentation is aimed at finding the definition of the nuclear force in an atom. The e x p e r i m e n t a l work for this reserach will take place at the Indiana University Cyclotron Facility (IUCF) in Bloomington, Indiana. While there, Jolivette will scatter an a t o m ' s neutrons and protons. In doing so, he will try to determine whether part of the nuclear force depends upon the electrical c h a r g e of the particles.

"The nuclear force binds protons and neutrons together in the nucleus of the a t o m , " Jolivette said. " I t is the strongest force in nature and the least understood.

A better understanding of this force is needed to help answer questions as diverse a s how does the sun work, what happened in the early stages of the universe, and how can we get unlimited energy from nuclear fission.

And, charge s y m m e t r y may be a property of nuclear forces."

Data analysis and many elements of preparation will be conducted at Hope. Several Hope students will be involved in the research analysis, data-taking, and preparation. According to Jolivette, they have already made very important contributions to the preparation of the experiment by helping in many areas of the construction and testing process and showing good insight into the concepts of the experiments.

The charge s y m m e t r y breaking experiment at the IUCF is a collaboration between the IUCF, the University of WisconsinMadison, and Hope.

Faculty/Staff News Taylor & Silver Get Grants The P e t r o l e u m R e s e a r c h Fund, a d m i n i s t e r e d by the American Chemical Society, presented two research g r a n t s to Hope chemistry professors early last summer.

Dr. Stephen Taylor was awarded a $20,000 grant to provide support for undergraduate students who will investigate the way epoxides cyclize to form ring compounds.

Another $20,000 grant will support Dr. Michael Silver and undergraduate students who will investigate a new class of organometallic molecules and their ability to act as catalysts for useful chemical reactions.

In Dr. Taylor's work, the process of epoxide cyclization is important in several biological pathways, including biosynthesis of cholesterol.

"At one time, enzymes were thought to be solely responsible for the amazingly selective way epoxides underwent cyclization.

However, it is now recognized that some of the selectivity results from the inherent structure built into the organic moelecule i t s e l f , " said Dr. Taylor. "This research will help determine what organic structural features promote epoxide cyclization."

There have been three Hope students working on the project: juniors Curt Blankespoor and Doug Motry and senior Steven Mork.

Dr. Taylor, an associate professor, is a graduate of P a s a d e n a College and holds his doctorate from the University of Nevada, Reno. He joined the Hope faculty in 1985.

In Dr. S i l v e r ' s r e s e a r c h , organometallic molecules ( m o l e c u l e s c o n t a i n i n g both organic carbon, hydrogen fragments, and metal atoms) play a large p a r t in the catalytic transformation of starting compounds, such a s carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas, into useful chemicals.

"However, carbon dioxide gas, a potentially abundant starting m a t e r i a l f o u n d in t h e atmosphere, has resisted interacting with o r g a n o m e t a l l i c molecules to transform into a useful c h e m i c a l , " said Dr. Silver.

"This research group is attempting to p r e p a r e some new compounds containing zirconium metal atoms and organic f r a g m e n t s known a s highly methylated allyls. These m a y p r o v e u s e f u l in p r o m o t i n g molecules like carbon dioxide to undergo desired transfomations," he added.

Five Hope students have been working on this project: seniors Paul Van Dort and Erlund Larson, juniors John Lakanen and Dan O'Neill, and sophomore Lori Pederson.

Dr. Silver, an assistant pro-

fessor, graduated from Fairleigh Dickinson University and earned the m a s t e r ' s degree and doctorate from Cornell University.

He joined the Hope faculty in 1983.

$10,000 for Science The Amoco Foundation of Chicago has awarded a $10,000 grant to Hope in support of the sciences and mathematics.

According to Dr. Irwin Brink, dean of the natural sciences, the grant will be directed to support the research of new faculty m e m b e r s in t h e p h y s i c s , chemistry, and biology departments, as well as provide funds for equipment purchases and student stipends for s u m m e r research.

This is the second year Hope has received a $10,000 grant from Amoco. Last year, the grant was designated for the research of Dr. Paul DeYoung, assistant professor of physics, and Dr. Paul Sadek, assistant professor of chemistry. Computer graphic equipment was also purchased last year under the grant for the project Dr. P e t e r Jolivette, associate professor of physics, was instituting entitled "The Use of C o m p u t e r G r a p h i c s in Undergraduate Chemistry and Physics Curriculum."

"Our renewed support is consistent with our belief that Hope College is providing outstanding leadership and educational prog r a m s , " said Donald Schroeter, executive director of the Amoco Foundation.

Food Changes Western Food Enterprises at Hope has announced recent m a n a g e m e n t changes. Steve Renz, formerly food service director at Hope, has been promoted to Senior Operations Director in charge of accounts in Western Michigan, Illinois, and Wisconsin. Steve and his family will continue to reside in Holland.

Chuch Melchiori has been promoted to food service director.

He has worked at Hope since April. He was formerly in management at the St. Clair Inn in St. C l a i r , M i c h i g a n . H e graduated from Grand Valley State College with a degree in hospitality management. Chuck, his wife J a n , and one child will be moving to Holland in September.

Russ Turecky h a s been hired as service m a n a g e r and assistant catering m a n a g e r . Russ, who also c a m e from management at the St. Clair Inn, resides in Holland.

Don Hershey has been hired as food production m a n a g e r . Don, formerly with a r e s t a u r a n t chain in Pennsylvania, is a graduate of t h e C u l i n a r y I n s t i t u t e of America. He, his wife Peggy, and one child reside in Holland.

Boyer Selected

DeYoung & Rouze Get Grants The National Science Foundation has awarded two Hope physics p r o f e s s o r s r e s e a r c h grants totalling $212,350.

The grants, for two different research projects, will provide funds for equipment, faculty salaries, and student stipends.

These experiments are a part of the physics department's "Learning Through Research" p r o g r a m , a c c o r d i n g to Dr. J a m e s Van Putten, Jr., chair of the physics department.

Dr. Paul DeYoung was awarded an $84,000 grant for a study entitled: "Light Particle Emission in Heavy Ion Reactions." Under this grant, DeYoung and his s t u d e n t s will p e r f o r m experiments at Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois. The experiments will examine the fundamental characteristics of the interactions of oxygen nucleii on aluminum nucleii. The undergraduate students will participate fully in the design and running of the experiments as well as the analysis of the results at Hope on the physics department's VAX computer. DeYoung is an assistant professor of physics. He graduated from Hope in 1977 and earned his doctorate from the University of Notre Dame in 1982.

Dr. Ned Rouze was awarded a $128,350 grant for his research project entitled: "Studies of A t o m i c C o l l i s i o n s a t Intermediate Velocities." Under the grant, Rouze will install a new laboratory for work in the field of atomic physics. The new laboratory will enable Rouze to determine, in detail, exactly how a proton captures an electron to become a neutral hydrogen atom. This information is impor-

tant both fundamentally and for the understanding of fusion reactions and the upper atmosphere.

The equipment consists of a low energy accelerator, a collision chamber, and a spectrometer to measure the spectrum of the light emitted during the process.Rouze joined the Hope faculty in 1985 as an assistant p r o f e s s o r of p h y s i c s . He graduated from Hastings College and earned his doctorate from the University of Washington in 1982.

With the receipt of these grants, Hope now has more physics faculty members holding National Science Foundation research grants than any other four year liberal arts college in the c o u n t r y . The strong undergraduate researchprogram has been m a d e possible by grants such as these that provide equipment and support n e c e s s a r y for f u n d a m e n t a l research.

McCombs Displayed Bruce McCombs, associate professor of a r t at Hope, recently had his work included in the following exhibitions: Architecture and Urban Influences, the Minnesota Museum of Art, St. Paul ; 1st International Print Exhibition, Somertown Gallery, Somers, N.Y.; Thirteenth National Print Exhibition, Hunterdon Art Center, Clinton, N.J.; Festival '86, The Grand Rapids Art Museum; and The Society of American Graphic Artists Annual Exhibition, Lever House, New York City.

HOPE COLLEGE ANCHOR

You Can't Tell a Bookstore by its Cover One institution that no one can avoid on the return to campus in the fall is the bookstore.

Not only can you not avoid going in, but you can't avoid lightening your wallet (or purse) before coming out.

Now, when you get to be an upperclassperson, you start to learn a few tricks, like shopping early to get the most used books and waiting until a book is actually assigned by the professor before buying Is (especially if

there are more than 10 books on the booklist), but, in general, we all have to face the music.

The anchor decided to pay a visit to our own Hope-Geneva Bookstore and ask the manager, Mark Cook, a few questions. The results are as follows: anchor : What does the Geneva in Hope-Geneva Bookstore stand for?

Cook: The n a m e is derived from the Geneva Scholarship Fund. This fund was established

by an anonymous donor who Invested in the original DeWitt Center bookstore (In 1971) and again the current facility whclh was part of the 1982 renovation and expansion of the DeWitt Center. This donation "capitalized" part of the fixtures and Inventory of the store and the proceeds from that Investment go into a scholarship fund for foreign students which Is administered by the Office of International Education. I believe that fund is

c u r r e n t l y s u p p o r t i n g six students, primarily from third world countries. anchor: Is that where all the profits from the bookstore go?

Cook: No. That accounts for about half. The rest goes to purchase additional Inventory, or if there Is anything left over, the college's general operating fund. anchor: Why not use the profits to lower the price of books?

Cook: Unfortunately, we are not talking about that much

money so the effect would be negligible. Also, the bookstore Is one place on c a m p u s where the students pay the actual cots for books and supplies a s opposed to an average amount as In the case of credit hours and food service where some students subsidize others. anchor: Books sure seem expensive. I can't believe somebody isn't making big bucks somewhere.

Cook: There a r e a few people out there making some "big bucks" but not m a n y . If you are a publisher or an author with a very popular textbook, especially at the Introductory level, you're probably doing pretty well. I t ' s like the record industry; P r i n c e and Madonna are raking It In, but the local record store Isn't getting fat and neither are most classical musicians. anchor: Is there anything the bookstore can do about the price of books?

Cook: Used books. T h a t ' s about the only leverage we have in t e r m s of price shopping.

Besides conducting an extensive on-campus buy, we have become very aggressive In trying to purchase used books from the national used book wholesalers. It seems t h a t students want more each s e m e s t e r (which mirrors t h e n a t i o n - w i d e t r e n d ) , so sometimes It Is hard to get popular textbooks because all the stores w a n t them. The new computer and textbook software we purchased last y e a r has allowed us to g e n e r a t e m o r e searches to the used book companies so our used book stock Is at an all-time high. anchor: It s e e m s that every time I w a n t to buy or sell a used book, it h a s just gone into a new edition. Most of the time they just change a few words and raise the price.

Cook: THat Is certainly a commonly held view and has some truth to it. It suppose to be fair to the publisher I would have to admit that new book sales do drop every year that the same edition is in print and neither the author or publisher makes anything on used copies. Hopefully though, the primary motivation for a new edition is substantive changes in the text itself. anchor: Last semester my roommate said he couldn't get four of his books because the bookstore had run out. Shouldn't you order enough books for everyone in the class?

Cook: Our ideal situation would be to have one book for every student who wanted one and no books left over. Unfortunately we know we won't achieve that perfection so we usually try to over order a bit, knowing we'll probably have some extras left. However, leftover l)ooks are expensive to return due to shipping costs and returns penalties so we base our orders on a reasonable contingency not on the maximum that could ever possibly enroll for a class. That means if the enrollment jumps substantially or a new course section is opened at the last minute, it is possible that we could run out.

Tuition Program Announced

Concern over the rising cost of a college education has become a legitimate worry for parents of college-bound students. Hearing a s t r o n o m i c a l f i g u r e s tossed about in inflationary fashion could put a scare into any banking account. Those figures say a modest six-and-a-half percent inflation r a t e could raise tuition for four years at a moderately priced private college to over $60,000 by 1999.

But Hope has a solution for its alumni and friends in the form of a newly instituted prepayment program.

The Hope College AlumniFriends Tuition P r o g r a m will enable alumni and friends of the college to m a k e a prepayment toward four y e a r s of tuition at a substantial discount. Organized through Prudential-Bache investment firm, Forbes Magazine calls the new program " t h e most innovative development in college tuition financing since the G.I. Bill."

The investing family will be able to pay a lump sum to Hope for the student's future education. The college will then assure a four-year education, up to 126 credit hours. For example, a $10,395 tuition investment today, for a child entering college in the year 2000, will pay for four years to tuition worth an estimated $86,674 in the years of 2000 to 2004.

Children, grandchildren, dependents, nephews, and neices of Hope alumni and friends a r e eligible on a first come, first served basis since a limited number of openings will be available for each class, according to William Anderson, vice president of business and finance.Openings will be reserved for f u t u r e students up to the age of 17. Another benefit of the program will be pre-enrollment' advising offered by the Hope admissions staff to the participants

Van Drivers There have been some changes in the use of college vans which students should be m a d e a w a r e of. They include the following: (1) T h e r e will be a minimum charge of $5.00 m a d e for any van trip to cover the cost of paper work and maintenance of the vehicles.

(2) If you are new on campus and plan to drive a passenger van at any time, please call or write the Physical Plant (x2231), requesting the van reservation information from last year.

(3) If you don't have a Class 3 license (for driving passengers), road tests will be given Tuesday and Wednesday, September 16 and 17, at the Transporation Garage, 176 E. 19th Street, from 9 a.m.-3 p.m.

Please call Mary at x2231 to set up an appointment. You must have passed your written test at the HoUand License Bureau before your road test is taken. At the time of your road test, you also must fill out an insurance form and take computer gas card training.

during their pre-college years.

The response to an initial Introductory mailing has already been very good, according to Anderson. " F o r some time we've been looking for a financial program for people who are willing to make a commitment In advance which will then have a good return on their Investment In the future," said Anderson. "We wanted to do something for those middle-Income families who find It hard to qualify for financial aid. This Is one way we can help provide an extra opportunity for their children to attend Hope."

Since the parents are making an educational decision for their child with this plan, the AlumnlFrlends Tuition program allows for some flexibility, Anderson said.

If the child decides not to attend Hope or does not meet the criteria for enrollment, the college will refund the amount paid Into the program.

A student may transfer to another school after taking the first 30 credit hours at Hope.

After that, If the student elects to transfer, Hoep will pay for the next 96 credit hours at 80 percent of Hope's tuition rate or the elected school's, whichever is less. The transfer school must be of the same accreditation level as Hope, and the student must maintain a GPA of at least 2.5 in order to transfer.

• If the student does meet the criteria of Hope, but for some reason Hope can't enroll the student, the college will pay the child's tuition for 126 credits at any qualified school at Hope's tuition r a t e or the elected school's rate, whichever is less.

Charges and fees for the 198687 school year at Hope will be $9,696 for tuition, room, board, and the student activity fee.

Hope is the lowest priced college of the 12 schools in the Great Lakes College Association (GLCA), private liberal arts schools of comparable stature.

by Greg Olgers The following weekly column, The Anchor Flies, Is comprised of excerpts from Anchors of 20, 50, and 90 years ago.

Each entry Is a condensed form of the original article or a d v e r t i s e m e n t . C l a r i t y is sometimes sacrificed in these abridged presentations.

However, the author's style and use of diction typify the period of the piece and the flavor of the Institution (Hope College).

The Anchor of 90 years ago, published monthly, can best be described as a combination of tod a y ' s Anchor, Inklings, and Opus. The stories a r e of familynewsletter quality and convey a sense of the Intimacy of the early Hope—and Holland—community. In the serious excerpts, the more formal style of the 1880s becomes apparent.

The Anchor of the 1930s provides evidence of a sentimental attachment to and pride In Hope College. The style used Is often f l i p p a n t , with j a r g o n l i k e " P r e x y " (president) used In headlines. Much is m a d e of the apparently intense yet goodn a t u r e d h a r a n g u i n g of the freshmen ( " F r o s h " ) class.

The Anchor of the 1960s is modern In Its approach. The almost naive Innocence of the earlier years Is gone, with much of the paper's content aimed at criticizing perceived flaws in the operation of the college. Additionally, while there Is still room for humor, the Anchor of twenty years ago more closely follows contemporary journalistic style.

Finally, where possible the Items selected for this column provide glimpses Into the origins of Hope names and personalities.

Among the activities the club will be sponsoring are; A movie series featuring foreign films. The first of these will be the widely acclaimed Emerald Forest.

This fall the IRC looks forward to playing two or three exciting games of soccer with Hope's J.V. team, as well as playing occassional volleyball matches among ourselves.

In addition to the usual dances and the annual, spectacular Food Fair, we have expanded our activities to include: debate competition on a subject of international importance and a special bus trip to Detroit or Chicago for an art exhibition.

Next semester during spring break, our members can look forward to the IRC covering part of the expenses of a trip to Washington, D.C. The IRC requires little time and offers many benefits and opportunities to broaden one's horizons. Both American and internatlonal students are

welcome to join. We invite all interested students to join us on September 11, 1986 for a pizza party and to watch a movie. At his meeting we will say more about membership.

While some of our functions are open to the general campus, others are restricted to club members. We urge membership to those of you who would like to enjoy the priviledges of full membership.

Page 16 PETROVICH, from page 5 P e t r o v i c h p e r s o n i f i e d the disciplines spoken of—critical thinking and careful evaluation of the facts. In a somewhat sheltered community and protected campus environment, Dr. Petrovich led me to think critically about Important world Issues. With a vision of a larger world of diverse cultures, he led my fellow classmates and me to think beyond the confines of Holland, Michigan and even beyond America.

I learned rather quickly that Doc (as he was known to many of his students) had limited time

and patience for those who preferred to live life in the slow track or were content to be passive vassals In a classroom of mindless wits. He expressed disdain for weak-kneed individuals who quickly joined the ranks of <4 nay-sayers , , whenever an obstacle arose over abandoning the status quo.

He often quoted an old philosopher—whose name escapes me—"I am a human-

nothing human is alien to me."

Dr. Petrovich enjoyed being at center stage. Tm sure that at times this was cause for frustration among colleagues and administration. Doubt, trivialities, s l o t h f u l n e s s , and faintheartedness were not a part of his nature. Students who could accept him for who he was, what he wanted for them and who were willing to go beyond the minimal requirements were

blessed by his willingness to give of himself. from Bill Cohen for the history department He was a man larger than life.

troducing students and colleagues to Europe, and he did this with incomparable style. In doing so, he was always hurrying, always trying to transform twenty-four hour days into thirtysix hour days, he seemed to want to show his students all of Europe all at once and he very nearly succeeded. In his most recent fifty day tour he took them to no less than fifty-nine cities and towns, and he did it in a way that managed, somehow, to preserve Intact the uniqueness of each place he visited.

Mike was an historian, but he was an historian whose training and personality inclined him toward the world of the present.

His favorite way of teaching was by taking students to the places where it happened and putting them in touch wit the soil, the stones and the people that shaped the modern world. Every year he would take students to Dubrovnik and to points East, West, North and South of t h i s touchstone of his Universe. His favorite classroom was a van moving through Yugoslavia or Greece or France or Spain or anywhere.

Mike had fun and his students had fun but at the same time he was engaged in a very serious enterprise. He believed that, for people to really understand the world they live in or Its history, they must first get outside of their own culture and see themselves as others see them.

Believing this, Mike carved for himself a special role as the unofficial liaison between Hope College and the people and culture of Yugoslavia in particular and of the Mediterranean area In general.

Mike p l a y e d this role marvelously well and one of the main reasons he did It so well was that he never lost touch with the Serbian community from which he had come. Over and beyond his frequent visits, to Yugoslavia he remained part of the Serbian community In Chicago where he. had good friends and deep roots.

Mike's special contribution here at Hope grew In part from these ties he had to another culture, to another community to another sort of Christianity. He did not simply blend in with the dominant culture. Rather, he took ti for granted that his col-, lege like the nation to which it belongs ius enriched by diversity. He was right to do so.

Let me conclude with just a brief word about the personal side pf Mike's life. At fifty-three Mike was one of the oldest members of the history department, but this year he was to become a father for the first time. He and Vesna were overjoyed and all of us in the department were delighted for them both. This is a bittersweet time and our hearts go out to Vesna who is at one and the same time both the wife of a colleague and friend, and a valued colleague herself.

Petrovich left behind his wife Vesna, a French professor here at Hope, who is expecting their first child in a few months.

HOPE COLLEGE ANCHOR

Football Team Practicing The Hope football team began practice Monday, August 25 in preparation for the college's 74th season.

Coach Ray Smith had over 100 players report for practice.

The annual orange-and-blue intra-squad s c r i m m a g e will be held Saturday, September 6 on the t e a m ' s practice field.

The season opener will be Saturday, September 13 when the Flying Dutchmen entertain Wittenberg University of Ohio in the annual Community Day game Holland Municipal Stadium.

The Flying Dutchmen face a challenging schedule with a s t r o n g c o r e of r e t u r n i n g veterans, including 13 s t a r t e r s from last y e a r ' s team.

"A y e a r ago we needed to replace 18 of 22 s t a r t e r s and many of their b a c k u p s , " observed coach Ray Smith. "This y e a r we have a solid group of returning s t a r t e r s a s well as many other players who gained considerable experience last fall."

The 1985 Flying Dutchmen were MIAA contenders and ended with an overall 5-3-1 record, the 14th winning campaign in 16 years under Smith.

The Dutchmen return their entire starting offensive backfield, led by all-MIAA junior tailback Todd Stewart.

Senior q u a r t e r b a c k Chris Mendels ranked among the nation's top NCAA Division III passers last fall. Mendels ended with a NCAA efficiency rating of 122.8 (100.0 considered average) as he completed 111 of 192 passes f o r 1 , 2 6 3 y a r d s a n d 13 touchdowns. He was voted to the all-MIAA second team.

Senior fullback Ken Trumble of M u s k e g o n s c o r e d n i n e touchdowns last fall. He carried the football a team-high 149 times for 631 yards. Stewart followed with 147 c a r r ie s for 708 yards and caught 26 passes for 267 yards.

The fourth veteran in the offensive backfield is senior wingback

Barry Immink.

Returning offensive linemen include juniors end Bill Vanderbilt and tackle Chad Campbell and senior guard Tim Chase.

Vanderbilt, a second team allMIAA selection and a starting forward on the Hope basketball squad, led the t e a m in pass receiving last y e a r with 30 catches for 372 y a r d s and five touchdowns. In two seasons he

Page 19 has 55 receptions. Last year he and Trumble each earned conference (MIAA) Player-of-theWeek honors.

Six defensive s t a r t e r s return from an '85 team that ranked sixth in NCAA Division III in total defense. The Dutchmen allowed just 188 yards a game last fall, including only 54 yrads a contest rushing. Opponents scored just five rushing touchdowns. But the heart of the '85 defense is gone with the g r a d u a t i o n of all-conference linemen Dirk VerMeulen, Blaine Newhouse, and Tim Hansen.

Returning line veterans include end Dave Bolhuis, a senior, and tackle Dan Stid, also a senior. Back at linbacker is junior Don Dahlquist while returning in the defensive backfield will be sophomore Kevin Bartz, junior Jeff Dawson, and senior Jon Dezelsky.

Senior Ed Conniff handled the bulk of the kicking chores last fall. He m a d e 15 of 18 extra point conversions, two of four field goals, and averaged 32.5 yards per punt.

HOPE COLLEGE AINCHOR

Page 2 0 Herewith and forthwith is a brand spanking new column for everyone and anyone, especially you. greatm huh?

It's purpose? Well, just about anything and everything that we'd wanna do. But especially that kind of stuff which just doesn't quite m a k e it to being newsworthy but everyone wants to know anyway.

In other words. Gossip.

But we're gonna do much more than just gossip about little old Hope College and the surrounding area. Oh, yeah.

We're gonna talk about any darned thing we feel like, ranging from music to movies to books to politics to religion to sports to everything else.

Fun, huh?

Could be and should be.

But w e ' r e gonna need your help on this one.

While t h e r e a r e a n c h o r reporters everywhere listening to everything, we do sometimes miss the little, fun stuff that we want to include in this column (i.e. Gossip).

MOI& Vous by Big

Brother Therefore (and herefore, etc.), we're asking for your tidbits of information and rumor. We don't care what it is or who it's about.

We just want it all.

Before we go alarming all you scandal ridden people, however, we'd like to m a k e it clear that we're not gonna print names of any locals—we may even refrain from full initials. Nicknames, though, especially the odd ones are perfectly acceptable and presentable and requestable.

So send in all the dirt you know

PERSONALS Stegs, what a tan!! Ooo la la!

Study hard.

Personals cost only five cents!

Drop 'em off outside the Anchor office in the Student Offices Area on the first floor of DeWitt on what used to be the corner of 12th and Columbia until they closed the street down and renamed it Van Raatle Commons.
