New Peale expansion vandalized Jared Gall STAFF REPORTER

" W h e n I think of all the things done in the name of science," writes J a c k H a n d e y , a u t h o r of " D e e p T h o u g h t s , " "I have to cringe. No, wait. Not science, vandalism. And not cringe, laugh." T h i s time, no one is laughing.

By the t i m e c o n s t r u c t i o n and renovation are completed on Peale S c i e n c e Center, the p r o j e c t will have been underway for over t w o years and will have cost Hope more than 36 million dollars. D u e to the actions of two Hope freshmen last week, the estimated bottom line has n o w increased by $15,000.

Early Wednesday morning last week, the two students broke into the construction site on the corner of 12th St. and College Ave. T h e y reportedly lore down some plastic covering a window and climbed to the third floor of the building.

The students then allegedly took a length of pipe and smashed seven double-paned thermal windows, and caused extensive d a m a g e to other areas of the building.

A nearby Holland resident telep h o n e d H o l l a n d P o l i c e and reported hearing glass breaking at the construction site. O f f i c e r s found the two students in the site and took them into c u s t o d y p e n d i n g bail.

Despite the fact that her career at Hope College has ended after a year and a half of service, Stacy Kemper, Residential Life Coordinator (RLC), remains positive about her

i

Hope experience. "I love Hope College and everything here," Kemper said.

Kemper is not the only m e m b e r of the Residenlial Life staff to be leaving this year.

Ellen Awad, Residential Life Coordinator, and Sean Fochtman, Residential Life Coordinator, and three R D ' s are also leaving at the end of this year.

With the exception of Kemper, all of the departing staff will end their duties after the end of Ihe school year. K e m p e r ' s two-year contract has expired, and the college has de-

cided to not renew it for the optional third year. With the knowledge that her contract will not be renewed, Kemper has taken the choice given to her, and opted to leave Hope now. T h e Residential Life Department does not have a replacement for Kemper as of yet.

"We h a v e not c o m e to an immediate decision, but w e are hoping to arrive at one in one w e e k , " said Kelly Burris Wesener, Assistant Dean f o r Housing and Residential Life. While Kemper is not serving, and a n e w staff m e m b e r has not been hired, her

duties are being filled by the three remaining R L C ' s .

T h e n u m b e r of leaving staff means that n e w people will fill almost half of the positions in the Residential Life Department next year. In the face of such a massive change in the department, Wesener remains optimistic for the u p c o m i n g school year. " N e w people bring in new perspectives and new energy.

It will be great. There are people returning w h o k n o w their jobs, and they will help to push us forward," Wesener said.

Michael Card is third CMS musician Christian singer performs February 14 Katie Taylor STAFF REPORTER

F r o m the people w h o brought Hope students Jennifer K n a p p and Jars of Clay comes another concert by a Christian performer. At 8 p.m. on Valentine's Day. the Christian Music Series presents Michael Card in Dimnent Chapel.

Card is an accomplished musician who has released 20 albums in the duration of his 20-year career. Nineteen of his songs have been number-one. O n e track, titled "El Shaddai," was the only Christian song on the R1AA list of 365 songs for the 20 , h century. Card's music has w o n five Dove Music awards and seven nominations.

Besides being a singer. Card is also an a c c o m p l i s h e d a u t h o r of Christian works. The musician has b e e n an E C P A G o l d M e d a l l i o n Book nominee five times. He has written !3 books, selling over 4 0 0 , 0 0 0 copies.

"Scribbling in the Sand" is the

title of both Card's newest book and album. The C D is a compilation of C a r d ' s greatest hits featuring some of his musical colleagues such as S t e v e G r e e n , S a r a G r o v e s , Phil Keaggy and Kirk Whalum.

On the n e w a l b u m Card also premieres t w o brand new songs, including the title track, "Scribbling in the S a n d , " the story of J e s u s scribbling in the sand while d e e p in thought w a s the inspiration for this song. T h e overall theme of the C D , however, is creativity.

Derek Emerson, Arts Coordinator, is enthusiastic about bringing Card to Hope. Emerson feels that Card's music will be enjoyable, in part, because of h o w long he has been perfecting his work.

"Michael brings a m o r e intelligent approach to his m u s i c , " Emerson said.

Emerson also noted that the show would be s o m e w h a t different f r o m those that the Christian Music Series has done earlier this year, like Jars of Clay.

"The best word I can think of to describe the s h o w w o u l d be 'mel-

l o w ' , " Emerson said.

Card will be performing solo in a simple setting without the bright lights. He will sing about half of the concert while playing the piano, and the other half with his guitar.

Though Card's approach to m u sic m a y be more passive, his Christian message is strong.

"He takes time to focus his work within the Christian f a i t h , " Emerson said.

Card plans to share his message not only through this music Friday night, but also earlier that morning.

He will be leading the chapel service at 10:30 a.m.

Tickets f o r the concert will be available at the DeWitt Center Box O f f i c e T h u r s d a y t h r o u g h Friday this week and Wednesday through Friday next w e e k , f r o m 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. They are $7 for students and $ 1 0 for the general public.

Tickets are going fast. Emerson has already had calls f r o m several out-of-state Michael Card fans that plan to see his show. Because of this, the concert was m o v e d f r o m Knickerbocker into Dimnent.

Christian singer Michael Card performs as part of the Christian Music Series at 8 p.m. on February 14 in Dimnent Chapel.

T h e p e r f o r m a n c e t a k e s p l a c e at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 18, just days before the G r a m m y w i n n e r s are announced.

L A G Q is m a d e u p of already accomplished soloists Andrew York, William Kanengiser, Scott Tennant, and John D e a r m a n . ' T h e y are four outstanding guitarists with great individual careers w h o c o m b i n e to c r e a t e a s t u n n i n g q u a r t e t , " said Derek Emerson, Hope Arts Coordinator. " A n y o n e of these guitarists would be worth their o w n G P S p e r f o r m a n c e — t o have four at once will be incredible."

T h e music of L A G Q has made its w a y across the continent. T h e y

have recently been heard on radio stations and featured on television p r o g r a m s t h r o u g h o u t the U n i t e d States.

"I booked this knowing it would be one of the most well attended concerts of the year," Emerson said.

"They have a devoted following, and guitar players will c o m e m a n y hours to hear this group play."

Although they are best k n o w n as a classical guitar group, they play a w i d e range of different musical styles. In fact, their G r a m m y nomin a t i o n is f o r the B e s t C l a s s i c a l Crossover Album for their 2 0 0 2 release " L A G Q Latin." " M o s t p e o p l e a p p r e c i a t e great guitar playing, whether it is classical, blues or rock," Emerson said.

"On the other hand, they are not a strictly classical group, and I like h e a r i n g their range-I think other people will as well."

Tickets to see L A G Q go on sale beginning Feb. 12 and through Feb. 18. T h e y cost $ 1 4 f o r adults, $ 1 2 f o r senior citizens, and $5 f o r students and children. The DeWitt ticket office is open weekdays f r o m 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

"I think, I hope, the performance will give students the opportunity to b e c o m e more clear about h o w they think and feel about an impor-

Educational events are a good start, but not enough

To the Editor: We are writing to express our outrage at the unattribuled advertisement on page 7 in the January 2 9 issue of T h e Anchor.

T h i s larger than one-quarter page ad is a photograph of young black w o m a n with the word R E J E C T printed across her image. Taken with or without the small print ( 4 i

These events can promote diversity and understanding

view of the accompanying image was in order. W h y picture the face of a minority in this " p r o m o ad"? We probably s h o u l d n ' t have, especially since w e had in hand another, similar ad with a Caucasian w o m a n in the photo. So, thanks for pointing out something that w e should have been m o r e careful about f r o m the start.

I am very angry that you are still running those offensive abstinence ads in T h e Anchor. I am referring to the o n e that has a picture of a

young w o m a n with the word "reject" written across her. People have c o m p l a i n e d about this ad before, and you have ignored them. T h e s e ads are blatantly sexist and inappropriate, and I shouldn't h a v e to ex-

1 love this College, and I believe I h a v e the responsibility to do w h a t ' s best f o r it w h e n I can. In the past f e w months, a series of events has led to our loss of a dedicated, hardworking, and w o n d e r f u l Residential Life member, Stacy Kemper. Stacy has responsibility f o r the cottages and f o r the Student/Faculty Judicial Board. S h e has touched m a n y students' lives and earned friendships and trust outside of her formal

service she leaves in her wake.

Il has not been suggested that Stacy has done anything wrong or been lacking in her duties and dedication to our College. T h e r e are no answers to be found in the administration—not f r o m her supervisor Kelly Burris-Wesener or f r o m the Dean.

I challenge you, the student body, to elicit f r o m our D e a n of Students o n e good reason w h y Stacy was pressured to resign f r o m a j o b and a College she loved so much. Or go to Kelly, Assistant D e a n f o r Housing and Residential Life (wesener@hope.edu), or D e a n Frost (frost@hope.edu) and ask th e m what they envision f o r the future of Hope College. Ask th e m h o w they are fulfilling the Christian mission statement of Hope College and Res. Life. If their vision is not in line with Stacy's, I ' m not sure I can c o n d o n e where Res. Life is taking this College.

I do not intend to sit idly while the College dismisses those who, in their dedication to excellence, make their supervisors look unproductive and the Dean look like a puppet of departmental politics. Please join m e in making the Dean of Students and the Assistant Dean for Housing and Residential Life accountable to the best interests of the College, not their own.

roles.

However, it is as a m e m b e r of Judicial Board that I can foresee the greatest loss to the College and its community. She selected and trained each of the students w h o s e r v e — a n d f r o m all reports, w e h a v e a done a c o m m e n d a b l e j o b upholding the judicial process that the school has in place. Stacy has always been present at hearings and offers advice to help ensure fairness, consistency, and a positive educational environment f o r everyone involved in the process. I have spoken with each m e m b e r of Judicial Board, and we are all sad to lose Stacy and very concerned about h o w the College can make such a mistake by the students.

There is no w a y to adequately replace Stacy, as there is no o n e w h o understands what her j o b entailed. Il is possible that there are other faculty m e m b e r s w h o will be as committed to fairness and consistency as Stacy has been, but I find it difficult to expect these qualities in w h o e v e r tries to fill her shoes. Rest assured that her dismissal, in addition to being premature and

Two new shows added to Hope television lineup Music themed shows produced by students will begin this Friday Erin Wickens STAFF REPORTER

T h e Lakeshore Report, ihe Hope College television station, is planning to bring t w o n e w shows about music into rotation starting Friday.

H o p e students Ryan Wert ('04), A n d r e w Volk ( ' 0 5 ) a n d J a m e s Pierce ( ' 0 3 ) are producing the prog r a m s — " C o l Spirito", and ' T r a c k N i n e . " T h e f o r m e r will f e a t u r e Hope events such as orchestra, jazz band concerts and the latter will feature local bands and individuals ou t s i d e the c o l l e g e s c e n e . E a c h show will run o n c e a week, a halfhour each.

Wert said the "Col Spirito" s h o w will follow a format that includes clips f r o m a concert and brief int e r v i e w s with m u s i c i a n s . " T r a c k Nine," however, w o n ' t have a set format. " O n e day w e could just do a DJ set and you would have a little rave on your television...other d a y s it could be video footage of bands and interviews. It could take any f o r m , depending on what w e are featuring for the day," Wert said. ' T r a c k N i n e " also is considering bringing bands into the studio to p e r f o r m especially f o r the viewing audience. At this point, though, it is uncertain what is g o i n g to hap-

J N F O C U S r / A /' T T ' / O r 1

pen with ' T r a c k Nine," but it promises to be f u n for viewers.

First u p for ' T r a c k N i n e " is a recent concert held in the Voorhees Hall b a s e m e n t f e a t u r i n g V o l k ' s band. Hope f o r August, and James Pierce's band, Lyle!. Future s h o w s will play clips of and interviews with The Fashion Club, Isaiah Kallman f r o m the G r a n d Rapidsbased band Joust, Launch of the Ultra Spider, Tara Leigh Cobble and Just Plain Ann. "We are taking it w e e k by w e e k , " said Wert w h e n asked what they plan to do with the s h o w in the future. " W e are open to ideas, and we don't want strictly rock and roll."

Right now, he said, they are playing with the idea of featuring Grand Rapids bands once a month to bring interest f r o m a wide demographic.

"The only problem would be finding the time and money to drive out to G r a n d Rapids. But it would be great if w e can do it because David Schock, professor of c o m m u n i c a tion, has even talked about eventually putting the show on W G V U , a public television station that airs to all of West Michigan.

Schock has spoken to the G r a n d Rapids Communication Media Center and says that they are very interested in a show that features new music.

"This is what they are supposed to be d o i n g . I a m very proud of Ryan and his crew. You have people that love music and use technology to bring a passion in front of an audience. I think this is what they are called to do. T h e y are answering that call.

Hope College student Sarah Sterling ( ' 0 6 ) said the shows will be a great addition to the television station. " I ' m not as interested in 'Col Spirito' as I am in 'Track Nine.' I think 1 would watch that show regularly. I ' m interested in k n o w i n g about local bands," she said.

Health Clinic offers free limited medical care Students can save up to $1000 with Hopehealth benefit plan in effect Anjey Dykhuis CAMPUS BEAT EDITOR

'Tis the season to be...sniffly, achy, and all around under the weather.

Unfortunately, the milder pre-winter of West Michigan is past and " d e e p cold," as s o m e o l d e r M i c h i g a n d e r s call it, has assaulted us yet again. T h e up side to this winter's deep cold is the n e w and improved Health Clinic.

Unbeknownst to many students, this year's tuition f o r full time students added $130, which covers all services the Health Clinic offers, plus anything they refer students to f o r up to $1000. Students received H o p e Health Benefit cards f r o m Student Development this fall. If they were not received, they can be signed out with ID f r o m the Student Development O f f i c e in DeWitt Center.

T h e s e cards must be presented at time of service in the Health Clinic to receive the Hope Health Benefit.

"The Health Benefit is primarily to be used here in the Health Clinic f o r things like strep throat, p n e u m o n i a s , colds, sprains, things like that. If s o m e b o d y c o m e s in and there is some service we cannot provide or we feel they do need to see a specialist, as long as w e refer them, it also can c o m e under that $ 1 0 0 0 . It also c o v e r s most p r e s c r i p t i o n m e d i c i n e s at one h u n d r e d p e r c e n t , " said

C i n d y Sabo, Registered Nurse. Prescription drugs are filled through the Apothecary and M o d e l D r u g Store on E i g h t h Street and River, with presentation of the Hope Health Benefit card. Model Drug is the only drug store that will submit to the particular c o m pany Hope uses.

T h i s is not the s a m e as major medical insurance, which students are required to have to be enrolled. " O n e thing w e don't want is f o r students to c o n f u s e this with major medical insurance. Their m a j o r medical insurance should kick in for costly operations," Sabo said. Hope offers m a j o r medical insurance f o r purchase through an agency that works with college students. T h i s differs f r o m the $ 1000 dollar benefit because it covers everything, not just the incidentals that occur during the year. M a j o r medical insurance is what students w o u l d use if they were seriously injured, in need of surgery, or any other serious medical care.

T h e H o p e Health Benefit, on the other hand, covers everything else, f r o m sprains and fractures to sniffles and most vaccinations. "This is to provide immediate care f o r acute s y m p t o m s , " Sabo said. " T h e other thing that c o m e s out of there is anything preventative. S o m e (travel) vaccines can run u p to t w o hundred, three hundred dollars."

S a b o admits that s o m e problems have occurred in the o n e semester the benefit has been active. O n e m a j o r glitch H o p e Health has run into is the routine of submitting claim f o r m s at the time of service. W h e n a student has lab or referral work done, the Health

?i3Srw A N O H O f l GRAPHIC BY C H A D S A M P S O N

Clinic must bill the insurance c o m p a n y directly for the student verifying that it is covered under the policy and will be paid for.

Last semester, they ran into problems with the f o r m s arriving at the insurance company after the student had already been billed, and they had to do it over again to fix the problem. " S o m e t i m e s they don't meet up together.

We may refer it, w e may let the insurance c o m p a n y know, but by the time they get the claim f o r m , the hospital has already billed them, so they deny it, and the student gets the bill," said Sabo. T h i s semester has seen fewer glitches since the Clinic has isolated the problem and dealt with it.

This program will continue next year and hopefully all later years. "We had a very good response, not only f r o m students, but also f r o m parents," Sabo said.

T h e Health Clinic always has a doctor on call, from Dr. Stid's family practice on Washington Ave.; they also have a nurse practitioner on duty every day, a physician c o m e s in one morning a week, and there are always f o u r R N s present.

For any student with any health related need, the Health Clinic is on the main floor of the D o w Center on Thirteenth Street and Columbia — and with the benefit that went into action fall semester last year, it is free with presentation of the card.

Hope swimmers ready for MIAA meet D e s p i t e t w o l o s s e s to Calvin thus far this season, there are members of Hope's team that believe they will finish ahead of Calvin at the M I A A meet two weeks away.

At the M I A A meet, there are 2 , 0 1 5 p o s s i b l e p o i n t s .

Calvin's two dual meet victories have been by scores of 119-109 and 117-105.

Every event except the 1,000 yard freestyle will be swam, in addition to every relay. Each swimmer is allowed to compete in up to three individual events and relays, but no more than seven different events.

Chris Hamstra ('04), school record holder and six time All-American, said, "We w o n ' t let t h e m b e a t u s .

C a l v i n ' s top-end s w i m m e r s are very strong; they even rival our top swimmers. But when you get down to the fifth and sixth guys, all the way down through number 18, we are c o n s i d e r a b l y s t r o n g e r .

T h e y just can't compete with that."

Each team is returning three All-MIAA swimmers from last year and five swimmers who achieved All-American status a year ago.

"Calvin has no shot at beating u s . We h a v e s u p e r i o r depth, superior tradition, sup e r i o r c o a c h i n g " said D a n Bouwens ('03), team captain.

Intramurals offer fun for students Hope athletes find friendly competition outside of varsity sports Dave Yetter S P O R T S EDITOR

Be fair. Play nice. H a v e f u n .

These are rules that we have all been taught to obey since a very young age. These rules not only apply to us in ,our everyday lives, they are also the motto for the Hope intramurals.

The schedules for the fourth intramural season are now available.

They are a great place to get together with friends or meet new people. Teams compete in a number of different sports, including everything f r o m bowling to racquetball to water polo.

"Intramurals are a blast," said Justin Blazek ('06), who was on a d o d g e ball t e a m last s e m e s t e r . ' T h e r e is nothing more fun that a bunch of people firing dodge balls at each other's faces."

A number of sports are starting very soon. Coed volleyball, m e n ' s and w o m e n ' s r a c q u e t b a l l , a n d m e n ' s and w o m e n ' s basketball all start on Feb. 15 and it is never too late to join a team.

Although it is hard to imagine in this weather, a number of outdoor sports will be starting up sooner than you might think. Frisbee golf, ultimate Frisbee, and m e n ' s softball will all be starting in March.

Make sure to get a team together and sign up early for any of the events that interest you this semester.

Track teams compete at Carthage David Yetter S P O R T S EDITOR

T h e F l y i n g D u t c h track t e a m kicked off their new season over the weekend, competing in a meet at Carthage College on Friday.

T h e m e n e n d e d u p in s e v e n t h place a m o n g sixteen teams in the m e e t w h i l e the w o m e n f i n i s h e d eighth in a twelve-team field.

Carthage, the host of the tournam e n t , f i n i s h e d first in b o t h the m e n ' s (143.5 points) and w o m e n ' s (177 points) competition.

T h e H o p e m e n ' s team finished the meet with 37 points. Their highest finish in a single event came in the i n t e r m e d i a t e hurdles. Ben Troost ( ' 0 6 ) finished third in the 200-meter race with a lime of 26.95 seconds. Other top finishes for H o p e c a m e in the pole vault. A1 Chimoski ( ' 0 5 ) finished fourth and

Tony G a w r o n (*04) ended up fifth in the pole vault.

T h e D u t c h m e n also had s o m e sixth-place finishes. Freshman Tyson Warner in the 3,000 meters (9:06.26), senior Ed Perez in the 6 0 0 meters (1:26.19), and sophom o r e P e t e r D e r b y in t h e 1 0 0 0 m e t e r s ( 4 : 0 7 . 4 9 ) all f i n i s h e d in sixth place in their respective races.

F o r the L a d y D u t c h , C h r i s t y Watkin ( ' 0 4 ) w a s the only winner, with a long j u m p of 17'6". She also finished fifth in the 400-meters with a time of 1:04.70.

T h e w o m e n ' s team also got notable p e r f o r m a n c e s f r o m Kara Van A s s e n ( ' 0 3 ) in the t r i p l e j u m p , Laura Borovsky ( ' 0 6 ) in the pole vault, and Brooke Oosting ( ' 0 3 ) in the 600-meters. All three w o m e n finished in third place in their respective events.

Derek Chavis, head track coach f o r both teams, thinks that the team performed very well for their first meet. " O u r first meet helps us to evaluate everyone and see where we are as a team-1 think that we performed to our e x p e c t a t i o n s and s o m e people exceeded our expectations."

C h a v i s is hoping that the team will continue to get better and hopes to p e r f o r m well at the next meet in a couple of weeks. ' T h i s meet s h o w e d us where our conditioning is. We also do a lot of v i d e o t a p i n g so w e c a n s e e o u r progress. We hope to keep doing better."

Amanda surpassed previous record holder Karen GinrasHoekstra's, who scored 1,369 points while playing for Hope f r o m 1982-85. Kerkstra recalls one meeting with the p r e v i o u s c h a m p i o n where Gingras-Hoekstra explained that in the '80s, the g a m e was a lot different because the starters had to play the whole g a m e and did not get m u c h help from the other players. " N o w w e have a great recruiting class and we have a lot of talented girls on the team," Kerkstra said.
