March draws record crowd JODI MCFARLAND cam pus beat editor
An estimated 2 2 5 male and female marchers converged upon the Pine G r o v e f o r t h e T h i r d A n n u a l Take Back the Night March Thursday night. The crowd last year grew from 80 to 100 participants, stopping at eight sites of reported rape or assault on campus. Participants carried lighted c a n d l e s and r a i s e d v o i c e s in chants like " N o means no!" and "Take Back the Night" to raise awareness for non-participants inside residence halls and for those who took part in the event. It w a s s p o n s o r e d b y t h e W o m e n ' s Issues Organization. " H e r e at Hope you are not immune from the violence," said Jeanette Emenheiser, kick-off s p e a k e r f r o m the C e n t e r for W o m e n in T r a n s i t i o n . "You s o m e t i m e s feel m o r e s a f e as members of a small community, but small communities are more likely to keep silent about violence." By the time the event was finished, about an hour and a half later, 25 people will have been raped, and over 180 will have been battered by their partners, Emenheiser told attendants. " A s college students you are the least safe," she said. "This was very educational," said marcher Matt Lengen ('96). " I ' m more aware of some concerns that women may have." But the night did more than highlight the plight of violence against women. The first place visited by marchers, behind Kollen Hall on the Columbia Avenue side, was the site of an abduction and subsequent male rape. "This is not a march for the advocacy of women," said WIO member Karen McKeown. "We are marching for the safety for a l l .

Even now when he drinks water, he is reminded how he went without that simple need for over a year while in the camp, he said. Most of all, he encourages people to appreciate the United States. "This is a beautiful, free, wonderful country," he said. "Appreciate

"Holland, Michigan, is a special stop for this exhibit b e c a u s e so many Hollanders were so helpful during World War II," he said. "The Dutch were responsible for hiding so many J e w s and saving them. There are many people here that were probably involved in saving many people."
The College has requested the assistance of the Holland Police Department in the investigation. Preliminary interviews of the students involved were taken Sunday morn-

Dear Editor: Strength is bom from unity. Look around you. The evidence is everywhere. From a college football team uniting for a victory, to a study group uniting for a perfect grade. From protestors uniting for a common cause, to supponers uniting for a presidential c a n d i d a t e . At any level, from local to national, people can be found uniting together for strength. On a more intimate level, support groups exist so that members can and find not only strength in uniting with one another, but also to find strength within themselves. For that reason, the Les-Bi-Gay Student Union exists on Hope's campus. The Union's main objectives is to be of service to those students who are both "out" and comfortable with their sexuality, and to those who are still questioning and wres-
So what's the answer? T h e key is t o d r o p the shovel and forget about the circus.

Issues surrounding the judicial process, violence against

T h e Union does not attempt to offer any easy answers on such an important and intimate issue, but it does offer the opportunity to share ideas, opinions, and life experiences with others who can relate to your point of view. The Les-Bi-Gay Student Union is easily accessible and privacy is the number one priority. T h e faculty listed below serve as liaisons for the group. Your first name and number will be exchanged with the first n a m e and n u m b e r of the Union's president. You will then be contacted, and it will be entirely up to you if you want to meet other members of the group or keep it one on one. It's that easy. Contact faculty members are there to help you, so don't be afraid or embarrassed to make that initial call or visit. What's more, if you would feel bet-

I would like to convey to you how much I enjoyed your article in the latest Anchor on the relationship between Puller and Morale girl. I believe that you captured the essence of what it means to pull and the special bond that each pair has on the rope. I have pulled for Even Year two years in a row and Julie
ter talking only to a faculty m e m ber and not contacting the group, that's okay too. It's all up to you. College is a t i m e for personal growth, both spiritual and intellectual; a time to find out which path in life you will choose to follow. It is a time when one finds the strength within t h e m s e l v e s to make decisions and become an individual. If you are out there, and you feel a lack of unity when it comes to your sexuality, then contact the Les-Bi-Gay Student U n i o n . We are h e r e for Ullity. We are here for strength.

Moving has been by my side for both of them. When it came time to choose our Morale girls this year I told everyone that 1 wanted her. She has motivated me when I felt like d y i n g , s h e has forgiven me when I have yelled in anger, and she has supported me through heartbreak and triumph. As I read your article it seemed as if you were describing Julie and I, and when I saw
other Pullers read it they thought you were describing them. Thank you so much and we really appreciate the time and effort you put forth to understand this misunderstood tradition. Sincerely, Dan Potter ('96)

C O c t o b e r P r o j e c t releases t i m e l y C D SUFJAN STEVENS Intermission editor
While the merry leaf coloring of Mother Nature's wand strokes the browning October earth, October P r o j e c t p r o v i d e s c e l e s t i a l sounds in their timely fall C D release of Falling Farther In. The band's latest musical package pervades with a dark, brooding mysticism and sensual sounds suitable for these chilling days. Their most inspiring element is the p o w e r f u l v o c a l l i n e s . Lead singer Mary Fahl's deep alto vocal capacity f r a m e s the b a n d ' s rich, unique sound. Her low quivering breaths and strained vocal rises exasperate with immense range and beauty, flowing with a subtle, languid fluidity through soft undertones of music. Marina Belica provides new age keyboarding and sensual harmonies at precise moments, heightening the sound with a breathy soprano range. Lyricist Julie Flanders creates images starkly contrasting and wildly ominous in each song. There is a sense of apathy and desperation in t h e m e s of drowning, forgiveness and spirituality, where the band seems to summon mildly spectacular religious experiences; the pervasive spiritual mysticism in such tracks as " A d a m and Eve," "After the Fall," and " O n e Dream" hints at something darkly sacred. Flanders directs a strong sense of yearning and desire in her personal
exploration of God. Rooted in colorful biblical imagery, her writing flames and burns with a shadowed joy, perhaps a forgiveness darkened by her physical discontent. Musically, the band is remarkably passive-aggressive, augmenting sensual climaxes with subtle surges of sound or slightly elevated drum fills; but nothing is exstrusive. October Project disclaims any values of forceful melodies, adrenaline-driven guitar-riffs, or drudging ballads. The first two tracks best exhibit this element of celestial suppression. " D e e p As You G o " explores gentle guitar, passionate piano and a mildly stimulating string accompaniment. Fahl allows her voice to manipulate the musical excursions in t h e f o r e g r o u n d . " S o m e t h i n g More Than T h i s " is even fuller yet, but sustained by lesser energy. An exciting contrast of vocal ranges brings this work to its pinnacle, just as every other work is marked by Fahl's strangely exciting range. Only once does the band attempt to exert its repressed rock urges. "Funeral In His Heart" tries feverishly to capture a frolicking feel, but fails miserably, tight-roping on the margins of cliche. The quirky element of 80's rock prevalent in these attempts are subdued by random rim-shots and Fahl's disturbingly sobering voice. "Sunday Morning Yellow Sky" creates an effective groove with funky bass explosions and heavy drums, giv-

Other undermining factors include the extended list of core musicians; five members are included as band executives, while four more provide even more i n s t r u m e n t a l (just when you thought eight was enough, they've added one more for nine musicians!).

Everybody has a situation where they find themselves in the w r o n g place at the wrong time, but some people fall into this category easily. Ezekiel " E a s y " Rawlins (Denzel Washington) gets into trouble in a pretty big way in the new flick Devil in a Blue Dress. Easy has just returned from WWII and is looking forward to living the normal life. For a black man in the 1940s, however, life is anything but normal. He's just bought a brand new house in L.A. and has been laid off from his job because he was unable to work overtime as often as the whites do. S i n c e he needs to pay his bills, he needs a new j o b — a n d finds one loo good to be true. Dewitt Albright (Tom Sizemore) approaches Easy and offers him a simple job. The lop mayoral candidate, Todd Carter, is searching for his girlfriend. The w o m a n ' s name is Daphne Monet (Jennifer Beals) who has a tendency to hang out at black jazz clubs and wear blue dresses. Albright offers Easy S100 if he can just provide a location where she can be found. What follows are numerous events where two people end up dead and Easy is the main suspect. In the day that follows. Easy discovers that Carter didn't hire Albright after all and that Daphne has some pictures in her possession that could get her killed. Albright, meanwhile, keeps showing up demanding progress on where Daphne is...or else. Easy eventually gets by with a little help with his friend, an itchy-trigger finger guy named Mouse and the whole situation ends up revolving around politics (of course) .The movie comes to a suspenseful finish when Easy more DEVIL on 8
