It's almosl impossible to pick the M I A A winner after only t w o conference games. However, when y o u ' r e able to beat the defending c o n f e r e n c e c h a m p i o n and y o u r arch rival in the same week, it certainly will improve your chances of being on lop. T h i s is exactly what happened to the H o p e m e n ' s soccer team on Saturday. C o m i n g off a thrilling o v e r t i m e w i n o v e r C a l v i n last Tuesday, Hope took on Kalamazoo C o l l e g e , the d e f e n d i n g M I A A c h a m p s at Buys Field on Saturday, looking to score another huge win. " A f t e r beating Calvin there was a lot of emotion for us at practice for the rest of the week," said Steve
Smith, head coach for the Dutchmen. " W h e n w e walked on the field for the g a m e on Saturday, I think our guys were more ready than t h e y ' v e ever been." Even after letting u p the first goal, the D u t c h m e n not only c a m e back, but d o m i n a t e d f o r the rest of the game, cruising to a 6-1 victory and c l a i m i n g the o u t r i g h t lead in the conference in the early season. " K a l a m a z o o had been playing in.credible lately, and it was a surprise to see th e m playing the w a y they w e r e on S a t u r d a y , " S m i t h s a i d . " T h e y p l a y e d in the s a m e O h i o tournament that w e played in a few w e e k s b a c k , a n d 1 t h o u g h t they played better than us in it. T h e y were really hurting emotionally, which is disappointing, because every team in the conference k n o w s t h e y ' r e better than that."

For Ben Manting ( ' 0 6 ) and Julie Wiant ( ' 0 5 ) running f o r student congress was a great w a y to get involved in the H o p e College community.

Hope ranks high in research Undergraduate research is essential to college experience. Jen Troke C A M P U S BEAT EDITOR
If s t u d y i n g t h e e f f e c t of angiotesin II on the metabolic rate of rats after h e m o r r h a g e sounds interesting, check into undergraduate research. It s h o u l d n ' t be too difficult to find an opportunity, since Hope recently tied for fourth in the nation f o r undergraduate research by U.S. News and World Report. Lisa Hardy ( ' 0 3 ) was interested
in the rat question because physiology relates to her field, pre-med. " ( R e s e a r c h ) s h o w e d me that there are several uncontrollable aspects that required flexibility and patience, two qualities that will be necessary in my f u t u r e as well," Hardy said. J a n e t A n d e r s e n , p r o f e s s o r of mathematics, received National S c i e n c e F o u n d a t i o n s u p p o r t her joint case-studies-based course with Greg Murray, professor of biology. "What is unique about our course is that w e are attracting an audience of math m a j o r s w h o d o n ' t k n o w much biology and biology m a j o r s
w h o d o n ' t k n o w much math and h a v i n g t h e m w o r k t o g e t h e r in teams," Andersen said. An integral part of research is the interaction b e t w e e n participants, especially professors and students. "I am better acquainted with the biology p r o f e s s o r s and staff bec a u s e 1 spent an e n t i r e s u m m e r working in Peale," Hardy said. "My relationships with t h e m are more familiar and relaxed although still respectful."

Garcia spoke about e m p o w ering Hispanic leadership and why Hispanics should aspire to lead. " W h y do you want to be a leader? Leaders get shot at all the time; verbally, everybody always criticizes t h e m ; they a l w a y s w o r k hard — why do you want to be a leader? Most of us have a built in sense of justice. We want to make things right," Garcia said. "You can't do that f r o m the sidelines. If you want to be a leader in your community, you have to be willing to step out and be willing to take those hits. If you d o n ' t help make the rules someo n e will make the rules for you." In his speech, Garcia outlined t w o keys to leadership: k n o w l e d g e and persistence. " I ' v e been unemployed. I ' v e had low-paying jobs. I ' v e started f r o m the bottom and w o r k e d my way up. You never quit. T h a t ' s how to e m p o w e r Hispanic youth — no matter what color you are, you have the right to participate in the process, to have a voice in what goes on, and to be a leader," Garcia said.

" W e were really excited that four people turned in petitions f o r o f f - c a m p u s spots. I would think that would be a hard one to get petitions turned in for." Turnout for the election was normal for
a fall election, but a little higher than the 18.1% that voted last fall when on-line voting w a s only used in the Scott, Cook, and o f f - c a m p u s districts. ' T u r n o u t seemed to be what it normally is f o r an on-line election which is much higher than it is if w e ' r e sitting around a table asking people to v o t e , " said Rimmke.

Valde Garcia, Michigan state senator (RSt. Johns), k n o w s all too well the challenges that face Hispanics aspiring to hold leadership positions. Prior to his first campaign f o r the state legislature, Garcia w a s told he had no chance of winning. " P e o p l e said, 'Valde, you c a n ' t win in this area.' It was rural, mostly white and very conservative. And what h a p p e n e d ? I won. All I said is, 'This is what I am, and this is what I believe.

T h o s e w h o have never seen a one or two-person show will get their chance w h e n t w o theatre department faculty members t a k e a n o r i g i n a l p l a y to the DeWitt Studio Theatre. On Thursday and Friday, Jean Bahle and Hope Theatre Department Chairperson Daina Robins will be presenting "America Herself," written by Bahle. In " A m e r i c a Herself," Bahle and Robins p e r f o r m as various i m m i g r a n t c h a r a c t e r s in the play, including parents, grandparents, and two sisters, Basha and Drusha, f r o m childhood to
adulthood. About four years ago, Bahle and Robins found similarities in their familes' immigrant pasts. Bahle's play began to take f o r m after this conversation. There have been several readings of the play so far, as well as two p e r f o r m a n c e s this past June. It has been a work in progress ever since, going as far as working for an entire year with Fred S e b u l s k e , director of the A c t o r s ' Theatre of G r a n d Rapids. "It's highly theatrical, delightful. You put an actor on the stage and a light on the actor and they just create," said Sebulske, w h o is directing Bahle and Robins. "It's a story about immigrants in a non-specific way; it's also a story of sisters," Bahle said. "But it's not autobiographical in any way." T h e narrative is m a i n l y f a b r i cated. with loose ties to the assump-
