Ben Stein invited to Hope as spring speaker Actor and author Stein will speak here on April 10 James Pierce C A M P U S BEAT EDITOR

Ben Siein, best known as an actor and author, has accepted an invitation to speak in the annual Student Congress Speaker Series. He will address the Hope c o m m u n i t y on April 10. "He was very excited about coming to H o p e , " s a i d A m y A v e r y ('02), chairperson of the Speaker Series Task Force. " H e ' s got a lot he can bring to Hope - a lot of talent and a lot of accomplishments." Stein currently hosts the C o m e d y

Central quiz show, "Win Ben Stein's Money," and his o w n talk show, "Turn Ben Stein On," also on C o m e d y Central. He has appeared on a variety of o t h e r t e l e v i s i o n shows, including "The Wonder Years" and " D u c k m a n " . Stein has many movie roles to his credit as well. His part of the boring teacher in Ferris Bueller's Day Off was recently ranked as one of the f i f t y most f a m o u s s c e n e s in A m e r i c a n film, a c c o r d i n g to the b i o g r a p h y on h i s w e b s i t e , www.benstein.com. Several factors led Student Congress to invite Stein to be this year's speaker. Avery noted that Stein was exceptionally personable through-

o u t t h e s e l e c t i o n p r o c e s s . "I e mailed him personally to ask him about his interests and he e-mailed m e personally b a c k . I w a s really impressed by that, and the c o m m i t t e e was impressed about that." T h e initial connection between H o p e ' s speaker series and Ben Stein began last summer, w h e n Matt S c o g i n ( ' 0 2 ) , Student C o n gress president, met Stein in Washington D.C. "I w a s interning in the W h i t e House and he c a m e to our office because he knew my boss," Scogin said. " M y boss wasn't there so he

ended up waiting in the office for my boss to c o m e and 1 was sitting there and so w e got to talking. And then he c a m e a second time later that week and that's when he took me out to lunch." Stein had mentioned that he liked to speak at colleges, and when Scogin mentioned H o p e ' s series. tern Stein offered to put Scogin in touch with his agent to explore the idea of a possible appearance at Hope. F i n d i n g the necessary f u n d i n g for this spring's Speaker Series was another issue tackled by the task force.

" T h e f u n n y t h i n g that most people don't realize is that even noname speakers are incredibly expensive these d a y s , " Avery said. " T h e amount that we had budgeted w a s n ' t going to be enough unless w e wanted to bring in s o m e b o d y that nobody knew about. We looked into the possibility of other organizations seeing if they could contribute to us and help us out. " E v e n t u a l l y the H o p e D e m o crats and Hope Republicans offered their financial help. T h e Hope Democrats contributed to bringing Stein to c a m p u s even though he has a conservative political history - he w a s a speech

Pianist Ann Schein to perform in free concert Wednesday night for the Holland area public In her 40-year professional career. pianist Ann Schein has performed with such orchestras as The New York Philharmonic, the Cleveland O r c h e s t r a and t h e N a t i o n a l Symphony, and has played in 60 countries around the world. She will be adding Hope as she p e r f o r m s in D i m n e n t M e m o r i a l Chapel on Wednesday. Feb. 20, at 8 p.m. The public is invited. Admission is free. A f o r m e r student of A r t h u r Rubinstein and Dame Myra Hess. Schein is one of the few pianists alive today who has performed the c o m p l e t e m a j o r p i a n o pieces of Chopin in concert. She did it six nights in a row to sold-out crowds at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall. Schein has also collaborated with instrumentalists

and vocalists like Fred Sherry. Paul Sperry. James Durnham and Jessye Norman, with whom she recorded an album. Schein's latest release, a recording of Schumann's "Davidsbundlertanze, Arabesque, and H u m o r e s k e " w a s hailed as "Fault-less...touching and unforgettable," and was rated as an Outstanding Recording by "American Record Guide." Her first recordings, at the age of 19. established her as a premiere pianist in 1959, and were the start of a stellar career that is not slowing down. "A rare pianist," the "London Times" has said, mirroring comments made about her throughout her career. Schein currently sits on the piano faculty of the Peabody Conser-

vatory of Music. She also serves on the faculty of the prestigious Aspen Music Festival and is a sought-after adjudicator in major international music competitions. Her visit to Hope College will also allow her to spend time with pianist and f o r m e r student Mansoon Han, who was named to the Hope faculty this year. In addition to her concert on Feb. 20, Schein will hold a master class on Thursday, Feb. 21, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Snow Auditorium of Nykerk Hall of Music. The master class is also open to the public. Dimnent Memorial Chapel is located on the corner of College Avenue and 12th Street.

to exercise, and at the time, aerobics just wasn't cutting it. She saw a yoga video in a store and decided to try it and loved it. She found it to be a good stress release after a hard week, and that it was extremely beneficial for flexibility and strength. She loves the fact that you can tailor each routine to the individual, no matter the shape or size of the

person. "You work to your own ability, not competing with the person next to you to see who is more flexible. It's about getting in touch with your own body, knowing what you can do, and achieving what you want." Editor's note: The Anchor is running the Yoga story again this week, because we failed to run the whole tory last week.

be able to make more informed decisions about where to live. "We [Hope) realized that students at Hope aren't aware of the living options they have on campus. This (eventl is for apartments only, but in the spring we will have one for residence halls." Marcelis said. Marcelis went on to explain that the granting of an apartment position is assigned in a credit- based order, with students who have the most credits have a better chance to get the room they want. Some of the apartments that are available on the residential housing tour are Brownstone. Kraker, College East, and Venema. These

various apartments can hold anywhere from four to six people, but students who want to live in the apartments have to apply as a group into a pool. Marcelis also warns students that there are safety issues to take into account as well. "Hope students probably aren't as informed as well as they should be, and students at Hope get lulled into a sense of security, and they need to take responsibility for that themselves." Marcelis said. Any students interested in the tour can call Marcelis at 6930 and pick up a map for the tour during d i n n e r t i m e in both P h e l p s and C o o k ' s dining room.

The Hope of the Future? Matt Cook EOTTOR I N C H I E F

Editor's Note: When it was announced in January that the college was ready to start work on the addition to Peale Science Center, many members of the campus community reacted with confusion about what was to happen to building projects in their department. To help clear some of this up, I sat down with James Bultman, Hope College president, and discussed Hope's plans for new facilities. Here is the breakdown, building by

• in 3RM Peale Science Center; At their January meeting, the Board of Trustees gave the go ahead to build an addition to Peale (#1 o n the map). According to Bultman. the total cost is about $26 million (about 2/3 of which is already raised), and work will most likely begin over Spring Break. T h e project is projected to be finished in the fall of 2003. At that lime, work will begin on a renovation of the current Peale building. Students and faculty will move into the addition during work, and by fall 2004 the whole thing will be open. According to Bultman, the science building project is the first priority because the infrastructure in Peale is getting progressively weaker.

Preferably, Bultman would like to purchase the former Lincoln Elementary School site (#2), and build the Miller Center there. Hope is currently in talks with the Holland school district about m a k i n g the deal. If the Lincoln deal goes through, Hope will build on the current site of the Human Resources building and the DePree parking lot (#3).

" I ' m relatively confident that we will start construction on the Martha Miller Center regardless of location a year from right now, and that building would likely take about a year to build." Bultman said. " S o we think that would be ready to go in the spring or summer of 2004." Originally, the dance department was slated to move into the Martha Miller Center, but plans have since changed. • T h e Millers are fine with it not having dance," Bultman said.

Delphis deal with sanctions Erica Heeg INFOCUS EDITOR

The Delia Phi Sorority members have had lo sland by and watch as Rush and New Member Education 2002 take place. Last year the Greek Judicial Board placed sanctions on the sorority for deviating from New Member Education. The sorority appealed, and the sanctions were modified, but the Delphis still were prohibited from participating in Rush 2002, resulting in the loss of a new member class. Delphi President Shannon King ('02) expressed the difficulty in not partaking in the annual process. "It's rough to see it all. It's disappointing. The girls that live in Kollen were in tears on bid night," King said. "Over twenty girls are graduating this year. The loss of new members will probably be noticable for a few years." According to the philosophy of the Greek Judicial Board. " T h e sanctions that follow a group being found in violation are not intended to punish, but to educate. This allows the involved student an opportunity to understand the consequences of their behavior, foster respect for the rights of others, and encourages self-discipline." Despite it all, the Delphis are supportive of their fellow

sorronties. "We support everyone else. We still say, "Hey! Go rush." said King. She doesn't believe that other sororities are necessarily benefiting from the Delphis sanctions. "I don't think that its beneficial for Greeks. We're a community and without one group, it's a hole," King said. King doesn't know of any students that are wailing lo rush Delphi next year. "I would hope that students are going to do what's best for them and not hold out for something that they might not know anything about," said King." I think that there are probably a lot of girls that go out there and rush and don't know which way they are going, and some of them go our way, and some go the other way." The Delphis have used this lime as an opportunity lo focus on group strengthening. "We are taking it as a building year, and lhat's what we have been working on all year. We had a retreat this weekend. We are focusing on us, our s t r e n g t h s - what we have," King said. Amber Garrison, Greek Life Coordinator, was unavailable for comment.

My last resort was to page through some musty and dusty Anchor volumes to see if I could find anything juicy ( l i k e t h e s t o r i e s my h i g h school English teacher used to tell a b o u t h a v i n g t o c a r r y around the actives books and eating soup containing excrement), but there was nothing. What I did find was almost just as interesting. The rules for pledging and r u s h i n g - I ' v e included some of the really interesting ones on this week's

page—have really changed over the decades. For i n s t a n c e , in 1931 the members of Hope's girl's societies were simply warned against monopolizing girl's time and told that "every girl shall be on her honor to observe the rules." By 1946, the list of rules had become twice as long, and by 1981 even longer, forbidding specific activities like paddling. N o w the I n t e r f r a t e r n i t y and P a n h e l l e n i c c o u n c i l s have a "New Member Bill of Rights" and 36 d e t a i l e d r e g u l a t i o n s against hazing like "not allowing n e w m e m b e r s t o w e a r proper clothing dependent on weather conditions and "the use of blindfolds that are not approved by the Greek Life Advisor." Wow! Its no wonder Hope's Greek Organizations are always getting in trouble. There's not a whole lot they can do. As f o r those p l e d g i n g rumors: I suppose that until I participate in " N e w Member Education" myself. I won't know the secrets-which is probably the way it is supposed to be.

Editor's v o i c e This week I ' m going to respond to letters to the editor:

Let hockey team play on Sunday According to the letter on page 5, if the hockey team gets into the c h a m p i o n s h i p g a m e at their national championship tournament in two weeks, H o p e College will not allow them to play because the game is on a Sunday. T h e Anchor is planning on covering this issue next week. I understand that there is something to be said for upholding tradition. but this is taking it a little too far. T h e hockey team has a c h a n c e to play in the biggest g a m e of the players' lives and the college wants to deny them that for the sake of a rule that almost no o n e follows anyway. A r e we not supposed to do anything on Sunday e v e r ? Would it be all right if I d o n ' t hand in my h o m e w o r k on M o n d a y because I wanted to obey the Sabbath? Should I cancel the Sunday Anchor meetings? Playing hockey on the Sabbath may be a sin, but if the players are willing to take that risk, let them sin. T h e y ' r e not little kids. T h e 19th century has been over for 102 years now, but some people at H o p e College d o n ' t seem to realize that.

SAC doesn't have to watch out for us In their letter to the editor, the directors of S A C said they check every movie they show for "nudity, violence, language, alcohol, and d r u g u s e / ' I agree with Kenny H a c k m a n . who says in his letter (pg. 5), " H o p e should broaden our horizons, not censor everything to the point where the entertainment on c a m p u s only caters to a select few." T h e only factor S A C should be watching out for in movies is artistic value. W h y are they s h o w i n g movies like " T h e Princess Diaries" and "Harry Poller" to a group of 2 0 year old college students? T h e r e are plenty of movies out there that are challenging and provocative that we d o n ' t get to see at the Holland 7, and it would be great if S A C made an effort to gel those movies. I ' m thankful for ' T r a i n i n g Day," and I ' m looking forward to "The Royal T a n n e n b a u m s , " but, in addition to those movies, there are plenty of other movies that I ' m d y i n g to see. I guess I'll have to wait for the videos.

Issue #18 of 25

Prof disagrees with withholding money from Hope To the Editor: I am writing in response to last issue's letter urging everyone that "disagreed with any of H o p e ' s policies- regardless of what they areto refuse to donate to the college." I would like to urge the letter writer and Anchor readers to think a bit harder about this advice. Recently 1 was reading archival material that included letters f r o m past Hope presidents. One letter that m a d e m e proud was a response to a past donor w h o was threatening to withhold future contributions unless H o p e changed its tune and did things the d o n o r ' s way. T h e president responded by saying that the donor w o u l d h a v e to do what he thought best with his money but that the president himself fell compelled to continue to donate to many organizations with which he was not in 100% a g r e e m e n t . T h o u g h t f u l people w h o k n o w a lot about the

organizations to which they give will be unlikely to be in full agreement with every policy of any organization. What an easy excuse to keep all your money for yourself! If what was under discuss was a political lobby or a signal cause organization, looking for 100 percent agreement or 9 0 percent or 80 percent would make s o m e sense, but only on d e f i n i n g issues. I do not personally give to the National Rifle Association; I do give to Crop Walk (and continue to do so even though I do not like their lapel pins). Colleges are not o n e - i s s u e organizations. What would an educational institution be like that was actually willing to be t h r e a t e n e d into rethinking its policies every time a donor wrote a complaining letter? It would be wholly lacking in integrity (as, by the way. it would be if the degree of consideration it gave to a c o m p l a i n t d e p e n d e d on h o w

large the d o n o r ' s potential gifts were). So, I have an alternative to the "if y o u d i s a g r e e with a n y t h i n g , d o n ' t g i v e " policy. If you value the education you have received (including the ability that it has given you to think critically about what the institution does), then give; if you d o n ' t value your e d u c a t i o n , then do not give. Whether you give or not. please still do express your opinion as s t u d e n t s or alumni or faculty or staff of Hope College. G i v e c o m p e l l i n g arguments for your views. But d o n ' t try to bully H o p e into c o n f o r m i t y with every o n e of your opinions. Value your o w n integrity and H o p e College's integrity more than that.

Carol S i m o n Philosophy Department

Math professor supports letter about shuttle van T o the Editor: This letter is in response to Andrea Wellman's letter in which she asked H o p e students not to use the phrase, " r a p e v a n . " (Opinion. 2/6) M y q u e s t i o n , an old o n e , is: W h a t ' s in a word ? In the years that I have been at H o p e College, several t e r m s i n v o l v i n g student life h a v e been c h a n g e d . " H e a d Resid e n t " became "Resident Director". " M a y D a y " b e c a m e "Spring Fling" and " d o r m i t o r y " b e c a m e "resident h a l l . " I c h u c k l e d at e a c h of t h e changes. W h o cares (or even knows) what the origin of the term " M a y D a y " is? Does "dormitory" really connote sleep? Does "resident hall" bring to mind images of socializing and int e r a c t i o n ? I d o u b t it. T h e s e n e w terms, to use a phrase, are a distinc-

tion without a difference. Any selfrespecting rebel can enjoy using the old terms with a certain relish. Doing so provides a convenient and benign way to assert one's individualism. Not so with the term "rape van." T h e word " r a p e " does, or at least should, invoke a powerful image. It should carry with it visions of brutality, of terror, of deep and lasting w o u n d s . It is like the word " H o l o c a u s t " , which the J e w s c a r e f u l l y guard for good reason. T h e y d o n ' t guard it to deny it or to avoid thinking about it. but so that it can be thought about properly. Obviously that is the s a m e intention behind the third c o m m a n d ment. Jehovah does not want His name used loosely- that is. in vain. Quite frankly, it takes a wise per-

son to understand the power of lang u a g e . A s k i d s w e all r e c i t e d , "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never harm m e . " Unfortunately, any child w h o f i n d s her/himself in a position of saying it. k n o w s that it isn't true. T h e words which I say can wound others deeply, and they can hurt m e by making me callous to the reality b e h i n d the w o r d . So, thank you A n d r e a f o r s h o w i n g all of us the p o w e r of a word. Students invest much money and time for a life-changing education at H o p e C o l l e g e . T h o u g h t f u l reminders such as yours gives everyone the opportunity to leave H o p e College a better person. Tim Pennings Department of Mathematics

SAC explains process for choosing movies To the Editor, It has recently been brought to our attention that the c a m p u s community may not be aware of the process used by the Social Activities C o m m i t t e e to select S A C movies. We are merely writing to state the g u i d e l i n e s w h i c h are a p p l i e d to movie selection to further educate the student population. E a c h year w e receive t w o preview videos, one in the summer and the other during the fall semester, f r o m our supplier. S w a n k Motion Pictures, Inc. T h i s preview video contains about 20-30 trailers of the soon to be released movies. During the s u m m e r months the Social Activities C o m m i t t e e and students living on c a m p u s view this tape and vote on the top choices to bring for the fall semester. During our selection for the spring semester movies, we advertise the viewing of this preview video where students can watch the trailers, vote on their top choices, and receive a discounted c o f f e e at our c o f f e e bar, "Cool B e a n s . " We then tabulate the top movie choices, voted on by the student body, and converse with a r e p r e s e n t a t i v e of S w a n k M o t i o n

Pictures to finalize what movies are available and suitable for the Hope C o l l e g e audience. We h a v e been working with the same representative for a number of years, and she is aware of Hope College's mission and thus advises us in movie selection. We discuss the ratings of the movies and evaluate the content in r e g a r d s to nudity, violence, language, alcohol, and drug use. A f t e r d i s c u s s i o n with her, w e m a k e a schedule of showings, in relation to the release dates, and we notify the campus. In the past the Social Activities C o m m i t t e e has been q u e s t i o n e d about the movies we have shown on campus. We exert great energy into selecting suitable movies and w e attempt to bring quality entertainment to the campus. However, there have been several instances when we have had to rely on the opinion of the c o m p a n y and students because we, as a committee, h a v e not had the o p p o r t u n i t y to view movies prior to scheduling. O f t e n times, o u r movie selection and scheduling is due before all of the movies are out in the theater. Therefore, it is impossible to regu-

late and preview every movie before bringing it to the campus. We appreciate student feedback and encourage the c a m p u s c o m m u nity to c o n t a c us with questions or concerns. It is our responsibility to represent you, the c a m p u s , when m a k i n g o u r decisions concerning e n t e r t a i n m e n t , h o w e v e r , w e can only m a k e representative choices when you c o m m u n i c a t e with our committee. S A C can be reached at o u r o f f i c e o r b y e - m a i l at sacjester@hope.edu. If you would like to participate in the planning of the social activities on campus, we strongly encourage you to visit our website and check out an online m e m b e r application! We h o p e this editorial further helps the c a m p u s understand how movies are selected and the process used by the Social Activities C o m mittee w h e n selecting movies for the semester. Any further questions may be directed to us, the directors, at the S A C office in DeWitt, extension x7882. Mary C h a m b e r s ( ' 0 3 ) Carrie Williams ('03), S A C directors

Student thanks SAC for poet, but not for disclaimer responded to this o p e n n e s s very well, prompting him to keep going even after he had finished his act. What was disappointing, however, was that S A C had to put a disclaimer on his act because it might have been offensive to some people.

To the Editor: I applaud S A C for inviting Slam Poet Kirk Nugent to Hope because he was different than the usual com e d i a n . H e w a s n ' t trying to be funny. Instead, he was being his honest, open self, and many people

Because of this, Mr. Nugent felt uncomfortable during his act because he had to keep censoring everything he said, which took away from the overall quality. SAC should not have to do this every time they show a movie or get an

entertainer to perform. It takes away from the overall quality of the piece, and we, as students, are not gaining from it. In order for us to get the most out of our c o l l e g e e x p e r i e n c e s , H o p e should broaden our horizons, not

department holds regular recitals on Sunday and the Dow is open every Sunday. You will even find that m a n y of t h e s t a t s h e e t s o n Knowhope displaying statistics for sports teams are revised on Sundays. So, minus the administrative and departmental offices of Hope College, the school still functions on Sunday. But what is it about playing sports that it must not be done on a Sunday. 1 suppose my u l t i m a t e q u e s t i o n is ' ' W h y ? " Is t h e r e s o m e m i s s i n g link in my logic?

Hockey team should be allowed to play on Sunday of its best season in the college's history has been stripped of the chance to win the national title because of some antiquated logic. Call me melodramatic, but 1 find very striking similarities between the practices of the Pharisees of New Testament and our own administration, specifically recalling the way the Pharisees obeyed the letter of the law while disregarding the Spirit of the law. It seems the administration has made up the law, as I cannot find it in writing anywhere. And if the administration i"

To the Editor: Once again the constipated logic of the Hope College administration w i t h h o l d s f r o m o n e of its o w n sports teams the right to compete on Sunday. The H o p e C o l l e g e hockey team in two weeks is traveling to Atlanta to c o m p e t e in a tournament that Hope College will not allow them to win. T h e championship game is scheduled to be played on a Sunday, and the administration after psuedo-discussion will not allow Hope hockey to play. So our hockey team, in the midst

holding to some shadow of the Old Testament idea of the Sabbath, inconsistencies abound. A few cases come to mind. T h e library, Phelps dining hall, and the Kletz all employ students on Sunday. Residential Life holds monthly meetings which R.A.s are required to attend o n S u n d a y s , and S A C shows weekly movies on Sundays. Isn't graduation on a Sunday and moving out day for seniors? And don't residence halls open for returning students on Sunday, in August and in J a n u a r y ? T h e m u s i c
