HOPE COLLEGE ANCHOR

State of the College Third In a series Honor System I continue to believe it .would be a definite advantage for Hope to have an honor system. This has been confirmed this year by a number of you and also by my observations of the diversity of ways which lack of integrity is handled by individual faculty members. This year I plan to chair a committee that would take a definitive look at this possibility. I would be especially pleased if we could have a system in place the second semester, so that I could also participate in implementing such a program. To do this, a study committee should be in place when the fall semester begins so that a plan can be developed and approved by early December. I am working on this matter now. SOME THOUGHTS RELATIVE TO THE CHANGE IN THE PRESIDENCY This morning I want to share a few thoughts relative to the whole matter of the change in the presidency at Hope. I have no direct responsiblities relative to the screening, evaluation and selection process. My purpose in sharing these thoughts is simply to do what I can to promote an environment in which this will be the best possible process. The first thought is that this is, quite naturally, a time of uncertainty. Who will it be? What impact will this change have on me? What kind of leader will this person be? How will the College change under this person's leadership? These are reasonable questions, but there is no way of answering them before the events begin to take shape. There is no ultrasound to give us a picture of the yet- to- benamed president, as there is now for learning something about an unborn chUd. So, uncertaintly and some anxiety are quite natural. Can anything helpful be said in regard to this matter of uncertainty? To urge that we have confidence and faith, and that we remember this matter in our prayers, while certainly very true, is not fully responsive to these feelings. What I have said to those with whom I work most closely, who will certainly be influenced by this change, is that the best thing we can do for the new president and for the College is to have the strongest possible operations in place throughout the College, with well-qualified and well-motivated people in each position, and to retain a clear sense of mission. The stronger the College is when the new president arrives, the easier it will be for this person to assume leadership, and begin to work with all the constituencies of the College. And, of course, this will also be the very best for us as a College. Thus, in my Judgment, the best antidote to the natural feeling of uncertainly is to continue our best efforts to fulfill our responsibilities, with confidence that these endeavors will be fully consistent with the goals of the new president and the entire Col-

lege community. I also want to say a few words about the interview process when the candidates come to the campus to be interviewed. I don't know what the process will be, but I do now that this is a difficult process—for the interviewers and the interviewee. Those doing the interviewing obviously want to get the most c o m p l e t e understanding of the individual they can, and this involves asking and answering questions in a frank and open manner. For the one being interviewed, it is difficult to answer the wide range of questions that can be asked. Some questions require a more comprehensive answer than time allows, and when one does not know the person asking the question, it is impossible to know the nuances behind the questions. All of these things make the interview process difficult for all. It is also important to remember that the person being interviewed is eager to gain an impression of the College, about the people who are here, and Hope's potential for the future. Thus, in the interview process, we are also selling the College. I urge that whatever form the interview takes, it be done as graciously and as openly as possible. I still recall how confused and low I felt as Margaret and I drove back to Ann Arbor the evening of the day I was interviewed at Hope. In many ways it had been an unnatural dialogue. I had answered many questions poorly, especially the hypothetical ones, which are always difficult to answer. I wasn't at all sure that I was right for Hope and that Hope was right for me. In that context I remember with special appreciation the kind and gracious words that a few persons spoke to me that day, and how much these meant to me. I also know it is difficult to size up a person in an interview, since it is not the natural situation in which people , work and relate to each other. This is why it is so important to find out all one possibly can about how a person h a s p e r f o r m e d and related to people in prior positions. This gives the best indication of how that person would perform here. I also want to say a few words about the situation when this new person begins to serve as president. This is a very difficult time for a new president, especially if this person comes from the outside. At that point, you don't know people, you don't know the ways and attitudes in which things are done, and you don't know what are the important things to do. In a very short period of time you meet many people from within and without the College, and you try to keep all the responsibilities and relationships straight. At the same time, people are watching you and weighing your words. I recall that one of my first impressions at Hope was that people weighed each word very carefully, and a casual comment was interpreted as having a deep, philosophical meaning.

For me, my tirst years at hope were the most difficult I have had In my life. I recall coming home from an evening faculty meeting d u r i n g the second semester of my first year at Hope and saying to Margaret that I didn't think I could do the job. The point of all of this is not simply to try to make It easy for the new president during the first few years, though some effort in this regard Is certainly appropriate. Rather, It Is simply to urge that we recognize that this is a difficult period. I hope that you will do all you can to have an understanding of the situation the new president Is In, give encouragement whenever possible, gracious counsel when this seems advisable and, to the greatest extent possible, reserve

judgment until the Initial period Is over. The final point I want to make Is that this person will be different, perhaps very significantly, from me. She or he will do things and react to things much differently than I do. This Is good, and Is as It should be, and will be a great asset to the College. It will be Important for all of us to let the new president be his or her own person. We have now been together for fourteen years now and have become accustomed to each other. While I sometimes wish I could do things In fresh and different ways, I know that I'm fairly predict a b l e — r e g r e t t a b l y so sometimes! It will be exciting and challenging to have a new voice, new mannerisms, and fresh ideas and momentum. This

will be good for the College and I look forward to observing this take place. S O M E P E R S O N A L OBSERVATIONS Many of you have asked me about how I feel as I begin this last academic year and what things stand out In my mind as I look back, and what our plans are for the future. As I comment on a few of these matters, I want to stress that this Is not my swan song. That will come when this year Is over and not as we begin it. The first thing I want to say is that I have thoroughly enjoyed my years at Hope and I am deeply grateful for the privilege of serving as your President. At the same time, I am convinced that

October 1 , 1 9 8 6 Continued from Page 2 both for the College and myself, this is the right time for m e to retire. I look forward to seving this year, and I look forward to leaving these responsibilities to another person when the y e a r is over. So I have complete peace about this y e a r and m y approaching retirement. What things stand out in my mind a s I look back? I will s h a r e a few thoughts with you, partly to give some background to those who have joined us in the last decade, and partly to share a bit of myself with all of you. The Great I m p a c t that a Few Key Decisions H a s on Our Lives I recall the great struggle Margaret and I had a s to whether or not we should accept the invitalon to come to Hope. The Search Committee decided to recommend my appointment to the Board, but before doing so wanted assurance that I would accept if invited. Margaret and I struggled with that decision for a month and then had to ask for an extension when we couldn't decide. We were happy in Ann Arbor, and had recently built a home we planned to live in for most of the rest of our lives. Our entire family enjoyed the schools, the community, our church life and other activities In Ann Arbor and the overall situations was fully satisfactory to us.

HOPE COLLEGE ANCHOR We had children in the 11th, 9th and 8th grades, a s well a s one in college and a 3rd grader, so it w a s a r a t h e r difficult time to move: On the other hand, we c a m e to recognize Hope as an outstanding academic institution, with a solid record of accomplishment and g r e a t potential for the future. We could see that coming here would be a very stimulating, significant challenge. When we finally m a d e the decision to come, it w a s much more in response to what we sensed a s a call, and because we believed this was the right thing to do, r a t h e r than arriving at anything that approached a rational decision. What m a d e this such a difficult decision was that, a s far a s I can recall, at no other time in m y life had I m a d e a major decision on such a subjective basis. Looking back now, I a m deeply grateful that we m a d e the decision to come to Hope, or perhaps I should say that we were led to this decision. This has been a tremendous learning, growing and rewarding experience for me. How much I would have missed If I had played It safe and stayed in Ann Arbor. I think of all the friendships I have m a d e with persons here in this room, as well a s in t h e c o m m u n i t y a n d throughout the country with alumni. So I am deeply grateful

to iiod for the privilege of having been at Hope for these past fourteen years and to each of you for all you have m e a n t to me. In retrospect, I a m not sure why it was such a difficult decision to m a k e in the first placce. How Little I Knew What Is Involved In Serving As President On occasion I a m asked by a student what a president does. I a m always e m b a r r a s s e d by the way I fumble in answering that question. It sounds like I a m struggling to m a k e something up to justify m y being here. This does remind me, however, of how little I understood about the job of being president when I c a m e to Hope. I certainly didn't grasp the wide range of constituencies and organizations one has to relate to—the Board of Trustees, alumni, the RCA denomination and Individual congregations, the community, organizations s u c h a s t h e GLCA, M C F , AICUM, MIAA, In addition to all the faculty and student Interactions and organizations. I didn't realize the vital role the President plays In fund raising and how much Involvement of the President Is required In a successful fund-raising p r o g r a m . I didn't realize the great volume of mail that crosses one's desk and how m a n y letters a r e required to answer this mail. I didn't realize Continued on Page 8

Dutchmen Belittle Giants

The Hope College Flying Dutchmen did a bit of giant killing on Saturday as they beat the Little Giants of Wabash, Indiana, by the score of 13-3. The game was the thirteenth meeting between the two interconference rivals dating back to 1956. Wabash held an 8-4 series going into the game. After a rather slow start on offense on the part of both teams, Wabash opened up their passing attack and got down to Hope's 20 yard line. There the Dutchmen defense s t i f f e n e d and held Wabash to a field goal. That tough goal-line stance that kept the Giants out of the end zone sparked the defense to shut down any threats for the ramalnder of the game. It also gave the offense Incentive. In the second quarter, running back Joe Cossey capped a 64 yard drive as he ran over the left tackle and dashed Into the end zone from the 30 year line.

With Bill Vanderbilt and Todd Stewart on the sidelines with Injuries, Cossey, Ken Trumble, and Todd Ackerman teamed up to compile 344 of Hope's 351 total yards. Later in the second quarter, Doug Cooper added two field goals, one from 22 yards away and the other from 25 yards away. The Dutchmen ran the clock down and that proved to be enough of a cushion to win the game. There was no scoring In the second half. The win was the second In a row for Hope and It also marked the first time Wabash had lost two In a row since 1983. The Dutchmen's record now stands at 1-2 In the early stages of the 1986 season. This Saturday they will travel south to Flndlay, Ohio to play their last nonconference game of the season. On October 11, Hope opens at home with the annual Homecoming game against the Alma Scots. Game time Is 2 p.m.

One week ago I suggested solutions to the problem of the pronounceation of the word 'pint'. Since then, I have had nothing but problems.

explore homophobia To the Editor: Do you know what homophobia is? Many people do not, yet they display the attitude and behavior associated with it. It's simply the fear of homosexuality. Believe it or not, many people are afraid of gays. This comes mostly from their lack of understanding of the gay lifestyle. Well, that's fine, even gays are confused about their's and others' lifestyles. In an attempt to better understand homosexuality and clear up some misconceptions, Hope students will have the opportunity to view the film "Pink Triangles." It will be shown on Thursday, October 2 at 11 a.m. and again at 7 p.m. in Peale 50. This film deals with a study of prejudice against gay men and women. "Pink Triangles" examines both historical and contemporary patterns of persecution in which racial, religious, political, and sexual minorities are singled out as "different,"

Watching the news the other night, I saw a report on how the Boston Police are fighting tooth and nail againist the drug testing their mayor wants them to undergo. They have taken issue to court, and, if the plan is ruled unconstitutional. President Reagan's little drug testing program is going to end up in the scrap heap. It seems like all I ever hear about any more is Reagan and his anti-drug 4 war', the drug crisis, which has, to date, racked up some eight covers on the national news magazines, lead stories with Tom Brockaw about the tragedy of drugs, and so forth. Every once in a while, someone actually does something about the problem. Like Reagan. He peed into a test tube. Like all the junkies, pushers and growers are gonna hear about that and say 'Gee, he is right. Let's give it up. It really is a bad thing.' So, bearing this in mind, I have a suggestion. In the letter about the party problem that was reprinted in the Anchor a couple of weeks back, a young lady resident of Holland noted some allegedly drunken behavior on the part of what seemed to be a gaggle of Hope students. Also seen were clouds of pot smoke wafting through the evening air. Well, then. It is obvious the problem stretches even to Hope's campus and the surrounding envirouns. What should we do? Voluntary drug testing for all students, faculty, and staff,

Kirk Kraetzer

that's what. Now, this probably won't go over too big at first, some of the more illustrious persons on our fine campus being loath to having to submit to the indignity of voiding liquid waste products (urine) into small shatterproff plexiglass containers (test tubes). Which, knowing some of them, I find understandable. So, in order to convince the populus that voluntary drug testing is a Good Thing, someone will have to go first. Who better than our fine President, Dr. Gordon Van Wylen? But, there may be some who remain unconvinced by this; again, understandable. The test may be fudged, just in case... Therfore, there are some others who could donate to the cause, such as the Student Affairs staff. Dean Beal would be the natural choice, and it would show his continuing willingness to work with students to improve t h ^ c a m p u s . Bruce Johnston, the assistant Dean, would as well, since he is kinda like George Bush: lots of work, no glory. Sue Langejans and Sara Schmidt should, too, simply because they are part of the crew, and people would become suspicious if anyone were left out. Langejans should be required in particular; no one can be that happy and not be on something, whether il is an overabundance of hormones or what.

and head of Development (Advancement, whatever), would also take the test in order to prove to all our generous patrons and supporters how fine a school Hope is. Tom Renner, of Public Relations, definately should, so that our reputation stays clean and as unblemished as possible. Each academic department could choose by anonymous ballet a representative pee-er. Every admissions counsellar should be required to let flow. The College need not go to an outside source to run the tests; isn't that what chemists are for? We could even give it a name: 'Campaign for Dope'. Of course, there may well arise the problem that, what with Hope's purity of mind, body, spirt and all that, no tests will come up positive. Therefore, it might need to be required that a party be held, just so we ean find out what a positive test looks like. I sincerly doubt there will be any trouble at all finding volunteers for that, and by the end of the little shindig (We could hold it in the new Maas roomonce it is done of course), no one would be sober enough to know what they were urinating in, and would thereby greatly reduce the problems of obtaining student volunteers. This is a rough outline, to be sure. Any comments or suggestions can be sent to the Anchor, which, as the voice of the people at Hope College, will gladly sponsor the whole thing.

Left of Center Have you noticed that the signs that a r e posted on the walls in the Chapel are gone within minutes of being posted? Putting posters on anything but the bulliton boards in the hallways of Lubbers is considered a fire hazard (it baffles me that student announcements a r e still allowed in the stairwells), yet the walls in Peale-where flames a r e used consistently-are covered with paper items. This is one of those issues that, while not a grave threat to your personal expression, is one that seems to get a little tighter every year. It was only last year that I cut out from the paper that caught my eye and posted it on my door in Voorhees, it was sort of my own self-expression and I enjoyed it. You see, last year we could not have it on the wall, only on the door. This year the door can only have a memo board on it (also made of paperboard - a fire hazard) and your name tag. I really miss my 'Ron-Bo' cartoonand it will be only a matter of days before the class schedual I put up so people will know where I am will be nixed (I have it ingeniously affixed to my other fire hazard - the memo board). Someone recently mentioned that the fire rules are suggesteddetermined by one of the Public Safety officers-and that no statewide regulation is involved in the allowance-prohibition of materials affixed to walls and doors. If this is the case that it is my concern on where it will stop

L. Wagenaar (can we make all the walls in Lubbers one big builiten board? Are my dorm room walls next?). Is it really a fire hazard to hang an announcement on a wall or a cartoon on my door-are these items spontaneously combustible? It is commonly understood that these items a r e not a fire hazard until someone makes them so-by lighting them. In the past several years fires have been ignited by students and have lead to the increasingly tightened regulations, for some reason Kollen has been the focus of this kind of not so innocent prank. To avoid a minor instance into becoming a situation like the one on MSU's campus recently that cost lives is to come down on everyone. I think we all know that lighting a fire in a dorm could easily lead to a large fires, we are not speaking of a candle when someone lights papers hanging on a door. In many instances the door is the only way out of the door Is ther a way that we can inform students of the risk that is involved in doing this 'prank' without eliminating all posting on doors and walls which most of us enjoy? Maybe the answere is to come down on the dorms that are known to have the problems. Is a compromise before my dorm room wails become bare? For all of us who miss putting Dunesbury up on our doors...
