Samanlha Arnold ('98) was surprised when reporters started calling recently about a July 1996 incident that has come back to haunt her. Arnold was a resident that summer of Crispell Cottage, which sat next to Gilmore Hall on 10th Street, but on July 12, 1996 was destroyed due to a candle-ignited blaze. The fire began in Arnold's first floor bedroom from a candle that ignited nearby bedding, and she is now being held accountable for the loss. "I didn't even know what was going on until I was contacted by newspaper reporters," Arnold said. "I've spent the last few frustrating days talking with everybody that I can and trying to find out what I can do."

The sparkle and shine of Winter Fantasia transformed and delighted Hope College students Saturday, Feb. 21. The students exchanged their regular college attire of jeans and flannel shirts for the more elegant and refined formal wear of evening dresses and tuxedos. Then they headed out to the Amway Grand Hotel in Grand Rapids for a night of dancing and desserts. The beautiful chandeliers and fountains of the Amway Grand provided the perfect atmosphere for the evening. Many slopped to take pictures of themselves and their dates with the finery for scenery. Others took advantage of the hired caricature artists to render their likenesses for the sake of remembrance and posterity. At seven dollars for black and white, and ten dollars for color, the artistry was a bit pricey for some, but worth it for others. "We went all out and got color," said Peter DeYoung ('97), while he and his fiance Megan Hicks ('99) had their
portraits drawn. "We don't have any pictures of us together where I have my eyes open." The artist quickly sketched the traditional caricature picture with oversized heads and exaggerated features, including a huge diamond on Hicks' engagement ring. "I'm glad he didn't put in my gray hair," said DeYoung after receiving the final product. Many retired to the dessert room to sample the punch and array of sweet treats while listening to some mellow tunes from a live jazz band. Fancy cakes, fresh fruit with chocolate fondue, chocolate-covered strawberries, and other desserts were enjoyed by all who tasted. "Mmm...this is really good!" exclaimed Jannah Thompson ('99) after biting into a strawberry covered with a coffee-flavored coating. The dance floor was full all night long. The DJs, SJA Associates, played a variety of dancin' tunes, from swing to rap to the traditional and necessary slow songs. There was music, what many felt was unnecessary DJ chat-

In all. the 475 students at the longstanding annual event enjoyed their night. "It's my first time going to Fantasia and the hotel's very pretty," said Beth Hoffman ('00). "I like that there is both dancing and places for quiet time."

She plans to go on to graduate school in physical chemistry and is considering teaching,because of her teaching assistant experience. Drake commends Hope and its atmosphere for her success. "I can't think of a bad professor," she said. 'They've all been wonderful and encouraging me to go beyond what I thought I could do and so it just seemed natural to do it." She is the first Hope student to break into the teams making up the top 60. The past two honorees received honorable mentions.

a draw to many of the events, since students will receive more exposure to what is happening around campus. Professors open up their regularly scheduled classes to anyone who wishes to attend. "The advantage to open classes is that the students in those classes know more about what's going on during W o m e n ' s Week," Green said. Schedules can be found around campus and at the Student Union Desk in the DeWitt Center. Women's Week began in the mid1980s as a focus on what women were doing, since there wasn't much e m p h a s i s on w o m e n ' s achievements at that time. Things have changed as the years have passed, but Green still sees this as a time for reflection. "Even though 1 believe this recognition has increased for us at Hope College, we still need a time to celebrate what has been done and look at what still needs to be done," she said.

B o d y Image Cindy sees the way society views body image in a different way now, especially on a college campus where w o m e n tend to be hard on themselves for not eating and dieting perfectly. "There is something inside, a belief you grow up with, we think we have to be our perfect self," she said. "My little sisters s a w m e and I hope that they don't think I was normal. I look at them and pray that they won't have to g o through what I did."
Opinion
our voice. Put O u t the Fire In July of 1996 a small flame ignited a fire larger than Samantha Arnold ( ' 9 8 ) ever thought possible. On a sunny afternoon Arnold lit a candle and went downstairs not thinking anything of it. Before she knew it her s u m m e r h o u s e and nearly everything she owned at the time was reduced to a big pile of ashes in front of her. T h e news of the blaze spread as quickly as the fire itself and the results of the incident are still smoldering. Along with an immediate ban of all candles f r o m campus housing, a lawsuit has n o w b e g u n involving H o p e ' s i n s u r a n c e c o m p a n y a n d t h e s t u d e n t b e l i e v e d to responsible. Talk about being kicked while y o u ' r e d o w n . After enduring the traumatic experience of the fire itself and the loss of most of her wordly posessions, Arnold is now being sued for $141,000. T h a t ' s a lot of m o n e y to have to pay for making a simple mistake. Arnold is a senior n o w and she is about to enter the real world. T h e last thing she needs is a big debt hanging over her head, other than one she is already going to have f r o m paying to go to the school that is not coming to her aide. H o p e has declared that they are not involved in the s i t u a t i o n , b u t c o n s i d e r i n g that it is t h e i r i n s u r a n c e company they c a n ' t possibly be too far removed. If they really wanted to b e involved, they can b e and this is a case w h e r e their involvement is absolutely necessary. T h e college needs to take a stand to protect one of its students f r o m unnecessary persecution. The school prides itself on caring f o r the students and guiding them in the learning process on all levels. T h e school provides a safety net during that process and s o m e h o w that net has disappeared. Arnold m a d e a mistake, learned f r o m that mistake and is approaching the next level of life. She should be able to m o v e on and H o p e should help her do just that.

Chapel debate continues in the form of letters Dear Editor, In response to Kelly Martin's and Kevin Edlefson's letters and the numerous phone calls, e-mails and discussions I've been a part of in the last three weeks, I wish to say how overjoyed 1 am that we are intelligently discussing the issue of religious tolerance. It is about time that these issues were brought out in the open and freely discussed by both students and faculty. There is one main point that I've faced and debated numerous times in these various discussions, and that is the claim that Christianity e m b o d i e s the "Truth." By this "truth" I refer to the Christian belief that Christ is the only salvation of the human spirit, which Christians define as redemption from our sins and, ultimately. Hell. Well, it seems to me that no human being
can know what lies beyond death until they die. We can hypothesize but w e cannot know. So, I challenge every Christian on campus to show me proof that their religion is the 'Truth." Realize that from my perspective the Bible is not the 4 Truth," it is a book w e know was written by human hands, a second-hand account of what a small group of people claim to have witnessed. In the knowledge that it will take more than a Bible quote to prove to me that Christianity is the 'Truth," I reassert my challenge and ask any Christian who has the courage to confront me with the fact that they K N O W what lies beyond death to do so. In either case I'll be very impressed, either by your unfagging faith, arrogance or resurrection At the heart of this argument lies the fact that no human being is ca-
pable of proving 'Truth" and therefore n o religion or belief is any more "right" than another. Our concept of morality limits what w e perceive as "true" or "good," but beyond our social structure, in a universal sense, w e can prove neither. S o c o n s i d e r the implications of claiming that you "have the Truth." after careful deliberation and intellectual study of your religious beliefs you still believe in Christianity, then I admire your faith and ask you to realize that your own commitment to religion is reflected in the faith of Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and people of other faiths around the world. D o not condemn these people for having the same commitment to their religion and faith as you d o to Christianity. A m a n d a S c h n e i d e r ('99)

The outcome was expected, but the result took a little longer than licipated. ; ollowing a few twists and turns, Hope College men's basketball un captured its fourth consecue Michigan Intercollegiate Athlic championship Saturday, Feb. 18. i he Flying Dutchmen trampled drian 96-66 to clinch the regular son title and head into the MIAA urnament with a full head of team. I'm so stinking proud of our basketball team," said head c o a c h Glenn Van Wieren. "I thought that in a game that was a must, must, must game, our guys made an incredible statement." A sense of relief came with the win, as Hope has had to endure doubts that came with losses to Kalamazoo on Feb. 7 and Alma on Feb. 14. The losses dropped Hope to third in the Great Lakes Region and fourteenth in the National Division III poll. The team seemed to recover from the Kalamazoo loss with an impres-
sive 84-73 defeat of Calvin on Feb. II. However, against Alma three last second shots wouldn't fall for the Flying Dutchmen, leaving them with a 66-65 setback, and creating questions as to whether Hope could still win. Those fears were sent to rest as the team made its first eight shots of the Adrian game and staked themselves to a 20-7 lead five minutes into the final regular season home game. "Hope is a very good team. They played with a lot of enthusiasm and passion," said Adrian head coach Buck Riley. "It was one of those nights where you can't coach and you just try to stop the bleeding." "We were defending, scoring, rebounding-we were doing a little bit of it all and were able to build on that," Van Wieren said. "Our team needed that kind of game right now." T h e v i c t o r y a l s o s e a l e d Van Wieren's 12th M I A A championship. The team should also make its 14th trip to the N C A A Division III tournament under Van Wieren's coaching.

"We have a lot of people picking things up and taking a lot of responsibility." The win earned Hope a first round
bye in the tournament. The team will next take to the Civic Center on Friday at 8 p.m. versus the winner of the Kalamazoo-Adrian game. ."We have started to get some flow going and that is important for us,"
Van Wieren said. "It just takes time, but we don't have lime and that's frustrating. You learn through adversity. I'm so happy with all that's happened for these guys to finish how they finished."
Swimmers finish first, second at championship meet MIKE Z U I D E M A sports e d i t o r
The league championships for swimming went almost exactly the way John Patnott expected. For most of the season, Hope's coach had said that for Hope to be victorious the teams would have to give their normal effort and then a little more. At the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic A s s o c i a t i o n s w i m m i n g championships held at the D o w C e n t e r o v e r Feb. 1 1 - 1 4 , the women's team was able to take first, while the men finished in second place behind Kalamazoo College.
"We're delighted," Patnott said. "The men knew they had to rise to the occasion and they did, and you couldn't ask for any more that. The women knew they had to rise to the occasion because we knew Kalamazoo and Alma were right behind us. We did that and had exceptional times." The first-place finish gave the women's team its seventh straight M I A A Championship, and 15th under Patnott. The Flying Dutch finished 9 4 points ahead of Kalamazoo and had several take first-place finishes. Triple winners included Laural Horton ('01) and Erinn Van Auken
COO). Betsy VandenBerg (*01) was a double winner, w h i l e M i c h e l l e Fangmeier ('00) and Llena Durante ('00) each captured a championship. "Every year is a different year and a different focus. You lake each team individually and focus on what that team can do," Patnott said. 'There's always new faces and you look for performance and maturity." The women's team has matured over the season. The team only had 13 total members, and one lone senior in Monica Stubbs ('98). Despite what would look like a hinderance, Hope turned in several
Division III national qualifying times. The men's team also had several qualify for nationals and take firsts in its competition. Conference champions included Dan Shelley ('98), Brandon Nyboer ('98), Chris Dattels ('01), and Jarod Lippert ('00). "Both teams swam very well and I'm pleased," Patnott said. "We had a chance with the men and it didn't work out, but it was a close meet." Both teams must now play the waiting game to find out who will make Nationals. Each team has a number of swimmers that made conditional qualifying limes for the
tournament. The women should find out at the end of the week, and the men should know in two weeks. "We have to wait and see what the rest of the country has done," Patnott said. "We have to focus on what we're doing and if we don't go, so be it." Honored as MIAA Most Valuable Swimmer was Horton. Joining her on the All MIAA team were Durante, Fangmeier, Stubbs, Van Auken, and VandenBerg. Making the All MIAA team for the men were Jeff Burgess (*99), Dattels, Lippert, Nyboer, Shelley, and Joe Zupancic ('98).
Flying Dutch defeat fiery Comets, face Scots next In semi-finals PAUL L.OODEEN staff r e p o r t e r
"March Madness" could already be s e n s e d in the H o p e - O l i v e t women's basketball game last night at the Dow Center. Olivet, a team that Hope defeated twice this year, attempted to upset the number two seed in the opening round of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association tournament. The Flying Dutch were able to hold off a tenacious Olivet team to advance to the semifinals with an 83-68 win. "They don't care how it gets done as long as the end result is a win," said head coach Brian Morehouse. The game opened with a f i v e point run by Olivet but Hope answered back with a 20-8 run of their own. Morehouse credited Olivet for coming out hard. 'They put us back on our heels. They competed, they hustled, and they worked," he said. Halfway through the first half Hope took a 22-15 lead. The Dutch finally took a sizeable lead at the end of the half when they went on
15-5 run. When the half ended Hope took a 4 1 - 2 9 lead to the locker room. "It is easy to cash it in this time of year and they didn't," Morehouse said. The, second half went back and forth as each team exchanged baskets. Olivet came out early in the
second half cutting the lead to eight at 47-39 and that was as close as they would get. Through the rest of the half Hope would build a lead as big as twenty on multiple free throws by Lindsay Rhew ('01) near the end of the game. "Once we got the ball moving our o f f e n s e l o o k e d a lot better,"
Morehouse said. Kristin Koenigsknecht ('01) led the way with 22 points, and Tara Hosford ('98) and Lisa Hoekstra ( ' 0 0 ) f o l l o w e d with 16 and 13 points respectively. After the game, coach M o r e h o u s e c o m m e n t e d on the tough play that came off the bench

from Mandy Pryor ('99) and Rachel Postmus ('98). The second half was sealed by good free^lhrow shooting and hard physical play. The next team on the Flying Dutch hit list is the Alma Scots who beat Albion last night. Alma, a team that Hope split their season series with, will come to Hope for the semifinal round on Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. at the D o w Center.
