Prez Race: Down t o Three Three persons have been invited to campus by the Presidential Search Committee for interviews involving students, faculty, staff and the Board of Trustees. Dr. Van Wylen will be retiring as president of Hope College on June 30,1987. The selection of these three persons culminates several months of work by the Presidential Search Committee. Earlier this year, the committee solicited suggestions and nominations of potential candidates from the college's constituencies as well as from leaders in higher education, business, the church, and other professional areas. More than 75 persons came to the attention of the committee and were invited to declare their interest. Nine persons were selected
from the field of more than 40 declared candidates for interviews by the Presidential Search Committee. The three persons who will be visiting campus later this month were selected from these nine candidates. The target date for selection of the new president of Hope College is the J a n u a r y 1987 Board of Trustees meeting. Each of the three candidates will spend two days on campus where they will participate in extended discussions with persons selected from the college community, including a group of students chosen by student congress. The candidates will also be learning more about the college through informal conversations at afternoon coffees held for all interested parties. A schedule of these events will be published in

Emily Burrows reported that the Cultural Affairs Committee has granted $300 to the foreign langauage department. The Student Communications Media Committee went over the basic jurisdiction and discussed about interviews for positions that will be open in the Milestone, Opus, the anchor. Inklings, and

Gay-Lesbian Group Strong at Hope by Theresa McPherson
towards the homosexual. The
The Hope Gay- Lesbian Student Union is going strong. Started only one year ago by four concerned gay students, the group still meets regularly. Last years group consisted of approximately a dozen " r e g u l a r s " which met weekly to discuss topics ranging from the sodomy laws of some states to parenting as a homosexual. D i f f e r e n t m e m b e r s of the group prepared the seminars and all took part in the discussion. This y e a r s group is somewhat smaller and has taken on a slightly more supportive role, the new leader says. "Last y e a r the group was more structured. There were weekly topics and small group discussion. This years attendance has been lower and we've become more supportive to the individual as a result."
group has sponsored the film, "Pink Triangles" twice, and last year brought in students from the Western Michigan University Gay Union for discussion afterwards. The goals of the group, as defined by this y e a r s leader include, 4 'Educating the c a m p u s r e g a r d i n g the f a c t s behind homosexuality and providing support for one another."
When asked why attendence might be low, the leader stated, "There a r e two to three times more gay people on Hope's campus than a r e involved in the group. I think people might fear that we a r e some sort of 'militant group' of gays. This is simply not true. Hope College and Holland a r e not ready for t h a t .

general lack of tolerance and hostility or a general attitude of apathy regarding the issue of homosexuals on Hope's campus." In the leader's personal opinion, Hope College males are more hostile than Hope College females. " P e r h a p s this has to do with their own insecurity r a t h e r than any moral conviction," says the leader. The majority of the individuals within the group consider themselves Christians and have attended church services as a group in Grand Rapids occasionally. 4 'Everybody interprets the scripture in their own way and thus, this leaves room for the manipulation of the scripture. But I believe there is no one set thought regarding this issue," says the leader. When asked why the group won't "come out" by signing individual n a m e s to letters in the Anchor or just in general to the campus community, the leader responded by saying, "I almost fear more for my 'straight' friends and the persecution they

Presentation
Daniel Amos and The Choir to Perform Nov. 14 Daniel Amos with special guests, The Choir, will be performing November 14 at 7 p.m. at the Holland Theatre in a show which promises to be the best concert in the Holland a r e a in quite a while.
If you've never heard Daniel Amos, you're in for a treat. Daniel Amos involves itself in current issues while at the s a m e time produces fine art. This is unusual for artists who have chosen to record for the Christian market. In most cases. Christian music is substandard because Christian musicians tend to record music with the specific purpose of salvation for the listener. Art and production considered have taken a back seat.
This is not true of Daniel Amos. Daniel Amos, featuring lead vocalist and lyricist T e r r y Taylor, express their faith in much the same way that bands like U2 and The Alarm do: implicitly, rather than explicitly. Daniel Amos' lyrics introduce the listener to concepts such as the double man, and quotes poets such as William Blake. Many songs by Daniel Amos a r e devoted to the edginess of modern life. In 44 It's the Eighties, so Where's Our Rocket P a c k s , " Terry Taylor sings: " I thought by now I'd walk the moon- And ride a car without no tires- And have a robot run the vacuumAnd date a girl m a d e out of wires?- No, things don't change that much, do they?- We a r e still

Musically, Daniel Amos comes closest to The Talking Heads, but their sound varies dramatically from album to album. "Shotgun Angel," an early Daniel Amos album, has a country twang. " A l a r m a " and "Doppelganger" compare favorably with albums by b a n d s like R . E . M . and Guadacanal Diary. On their newest albums, "Vox H u m a n a " and " F e a r f u l S y m m e t r y , " Daniel Amos has molded their musical quirks into something that comes closer to the music of artists like P e t e r Gabriel. As for the performance itself be forewarned that you can expect the unexpected. On a recent
tour, Daniel Amos supplied their listeners with 3-D glasses and used a fake living room decked out with projection screens for a set. You can rest assured, this will be a performance you won't forget.
As for The Choir, they a r e a good band in concert, and should be an e n t e r t a i n i n g opener. Tickets for Daniel Amos a r e available at the student affairs secretary in the student activities a r e a of DeWitt.
The cost is ,$7.50 but Hope students can get them for $3 with a student I.D. You'll never be able to see Daniel Amos at this price again, so buy your tickets now.

Hope jumped out to a 17-0 lead at one point, but fell behind later in teh g a m e 29-23 as the defense sputtered. Then came the drive that led to what Coach Ray Smith d e s c r i b e d as the " m i r a c l e touchdown." With a little over a minute to play in the game, the Dutchmen began at their own twenty yard line. Eight plays later they had
the ball fourth down and long at the Briton 18 with j u s t : 12 left. Quarterbackl Chris Mendels took the snap, dropped back, and looked for his first receiver. He was covered so Mendels rolled out and threw it to Joe Cossey who made a great diving catch to tie the game. "We've ben practicing and running that play all season," said Smith. "This is the first time it's actually worked." A shocked hush fell over the home crowd, but pandemonium broke loose on the Hope side of the field as Doug Cooper lined up

for the all-important extra point attempt. Someone must have forgotten to tell the field goal unit to stay calm because in all the excitement the snap was bad, the hold was bad. and there was no kick. The final score read 29-29. It's ironic because one year ago the same two teams met to decide the MIAA title and that g a m e ended in a scoreless tie as both offenses struggled. Hope took the lead early on a 15 yard run keeper by Mendels, a 37 yard pass to Todd Rose who made a spectucular catch, and a 32 yard field goal by Cooper.
The Britons got on the board late in the first half on a 21 yard run by quarterback Dave Yaw who replaced starter Ken Kish. Yaw, who normally starts, was benched for a time due to disciplinary problems.

The last MIAA title came in 1984 when Hope went undefeated in nine games.

Vanderbilt to Head New May Term byChrisUePhiUips IN 1777 Samuel Johnson said, "When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford."
This may be a slight overstatement, but according to Dr. William Vanderbilt, pioneer and chief director of the new British Sport and Culture Comparisons may term, spending time in London is an exciting submergence into a world of constantly changing cultural and social diversity—something Vanderbilt strongly feels is an integral part of his program.
^vC'
While on sabbatical leave last spring, Vanderbilt spent four months in England lecturing, writing newspaper articles, and directing much of his time towards the development of British Sport and Culture. To explain the need for this sort of program, Vanderbilt said,
Repetory Group Performs at Hope By Sarah Jones The Alvin Ailey Repertory Ensemble performed last Thursday and Friday night. They performed three dances at each show, with each dance being about twenty minutes a piece. At both shows they danced a piece entitled " S t r e a m s " and one entitled "Seefire." " S t r e a m s " was an abstract dance however it was not one of the shows stronger dances. The dancers lacked intense emotion and energy. On the other hand, "Seefire" was overflowing with energy; it was obvious they enjoyed the dance. Thursday night's third dance was performed in grey costumes, which are seldom used because its difficult to light. The dancers were strong and gracefully balanced. (Due to one dancer spraining her ankle, a substitue was needed. She watched and learned dances off a video recorder in practice, and later p e r f o r m e d them live. The replacement did an excellent job.) Friday morning at 10 a.m. the dance company held an hour and a half master dance class. The class was led by four m e m b e r s of the company: Elissa Rosati, and her t h r e e assistants, Lydia Roberts, DeAnne Hiett, and Bridget Denise. They taught some of their basic techniques and stretches, and a small combination from the dance "Knudsen Variations."
"Many students expressed an interest in experiencing first-hand the relation between sports and their psychological and sociological impact on society. "Before this year we were only able to give a senior seminar course on this. Now we have a p r o g r a m in E n g l a n d open toeveryone." For students, Vanderbilt has organized a scavenger hunt throughout London to help students become acquainted with the city as rapidly as possible. Other experiences in London will include a lecture on the development of Sport in Britain given by Jennifer Hargraves, Great Britain's foremost authority on women in sports. Hargraves is senior lecturer at Dorhampton Institute of higher education in London. Students will also have a chance to attend the musical t h e a t r e p r o d u c t i o n of Les Miserables, visit Wembledon and
Wembley stadium, and also visit the Crystal Palace sports traning facility, frequented by many Olympic athletes. According to Vanderbilt, the course does not cater to students with any specific academic leaning. Rather, it offers an experience that gives a student an insight into the development of sports both past and present and into many cultural, social, and psychological aspects of British culture. In fact, 70 percent of all students participating in last year's senior seminar course were business majors. The cost for the twenty day trip has been tentatively estimated at $1,700 per person. Although May term scholarships are not yet available, students are encouraged by Registrar Jon Huisken to check with the Financial Aid Office for assistance in deferring some of this cost.

HungerGroup Sponsors Fast To the editors of the Anchor: By now you've all seen the posters around c a m p u s advertising a fast and a r e wondering what it's all about. Well, a fast is going without food for a certain period of time, and it's usually done for a certain purpose. For the last several years, the Hunger Group has arranged with Western Food Service to set up a period of three meals in which students could fast (i.e., not go to Phelps). Then, Food Service would give the money they saved by not feeding those students to the Hunger Group, which would then donate it to hunger relief agencies. This year, we will do it again on Noyembe 19 and 20, starting with dinner on the 19th and going through lunch on the 20th. Twothirds of the money contributed by Food Service will go to Oxfam America, which combats hunger
