Dutchmen lose heartbreaker in 3-2 shootout by Glyn Williams staff reporter After a thrilling shootout victory over the n u m b e r one Division 111 school in the nation for the Great Lakes Region C h a m p i o n ship, Hope found t h e m s e l v e s in a new atmosphere of c o m p e t i t i o n .

Unfortunately, that dream w a s shattered Saturday afternoon, w h e n a shootout with the University of W i s c o n s i n at O s h Kosh went the other way, 3-2. T h o u g h tagged the u n d e r d o g , the Dutchmen did the unthinkable, a n d held the T i t a n s s c o r e l e s s throughout the g a m e with the exception of the fateful shootout. During the shootout, tensions were high, as it all boiled d o w n to the last s h o t s , w h i c h , u n f o r t u nately, w a s missed. The first kick of the shootout f o o l e d Hope goal k e e p e r A a r o n Angeli ( ' % ) , for as he d o v e right, t h e ball s a i l e d i n t o t h e l o w lefthand corner. T h e next kick, by Blake Richards ( ' 9 5 ) w a s blocked by the Titan goalie. Angeli then blocked the next f r e e kick.

John C o n l o n ( ' 9 7 ) kicked fourth, and it was in with no problem whatsoever. T h e next kicker for Osh Kosh was hit right towards Angeli, and the shot w a s blocked.

Public Safety reports vandalism, stolen bikes by Jim Riekse n e w s editor Public Safety o f f i c e r s are in pursuit of vandals w h o propelled a hunk of c o n c r e t e t h r o u g h the large first floor b e d r o o m w i n d o w of the Dorian Cottage, 154 E. 13th St., late Saturday night. The wedge broke through both layers of glass, one of which w a s an i n s u l a t i n g s t o r m s h i e l d , and ripped through the blinds s e n d i n g shards of glass flying 20 feet out into the hallway and kitchen. The slab landed on the upper bunk bed. O n l y o n e of the nine residents of the cottage w a s h o m e at the t i m e . T h e o t h e r eight w o m e n were away at their sorority formal. "I w a s stunned to see glass all o v e r my r o o m , " said S t a c e y Wendt ( ' 9 6 ) . "If I had been lying there 1 could have been seriously hurt.

" A rock was also thrown through a w i n d o w of Phelps Hall early S u n d a y m o r n i n g . D u a n e Terpstra, assistant director of Public Safety, said he d o e s n ' t k n o w if the t w o incidents are related but, " t h e r e ' s always a possibility." In other reports, Public Safety issued an E-mail m e m o r a n d u m to alert H o p e students to the theft of 15 b i k e s a m o u n t i n g to a h e f t y $ 7 , 0 0 0 loss o v e r t h e last f e w weeks. T h e warning didn't spare Jason Prince ( ' 9 6 ) any grief, however, when his bike w a s lifted S u n d a y

evening. Unlike the majority of the bikes stolen, mostly pricey m o u n tain bikes. Prince lost an antique Schwinn, which h e l d a c e r t a i n sentimental value. " I ' m m a d b e c a u s e it m e a n t s o m e t h i n g to m e , " said Prince. "It w a s a classic black Schwinn with c h r o m e fenders. I had bought it at an auction, o u t b i d d i n g three old g u y s . I w a n t e d to give it to my kids. You just c a n ' t replace an old Schwinn." Public Safety has not yet rec o v e r e d any of the stolen bikes. " W e believe that they are being taken off c a m p u s and s t r i p p e d or s o l d s o m e w h e r e , " Terpstra said. Public Safety believes student knowledge of the problem to be the most likely solution. " W a r n i n g is the best thing we can d o , " said Terpstra. In addition, Terpstra credited s t e p p e d - u p security m e a s u r e s to the e l i m i n a t i o n of recent t h e f t s f r o m Peale S c i e n c e Center. Peale had been subject to an est i m a t e d $ 1 , 0 0 0 in stolen e q u i p ment—including a TV/radio, V C R , and M a g n a v o x video c a m e r a — o v e r the past weeks. T h e 8 2 3 lecture hall suffered the greatest losses and has been since equipped with a punch code on the door to prevent further larceny. Still, Public Safety is looking for added safety measures. "We are g o i n g to have tighter controls this spring, including k e e p i n g the d o o r s locked at all times during the w e e k e n d , " Terpstra said.

MOOD MUSIC: Like the Pied Piper, regional manager Paul Zaba calls to the caffeinated.

T h e c o f f e e industry is expected to double by the end of the decade and Hope is right on top of the new craze. E s p r e s s o E x p r e s s , an eastern Michigan based company, has been given the go ahead to start a mobile espresso bar in The Kletz. Passing students may think the cappuccino coffee bar appears to be temporary but it's intended to be a permanent feature in T h e Kletz. Espresso Express also does work with Grand Valley State University and Muskegon C o m m u n i t y College (MCC). Because M C C a n d Hope share the same food service c o m p a n i e s , E*spresso E x p r e s s found its way to Hope. T h e c o f f e e c o m p a n y also d o e s c a t e r i n g for c a m p u s events. Students are eager to cozy up to the coffee s h o p . "We are doing very well," said Paul Faba, E s p r e s s o E x p r e s s regional manager for western Michigan. " O u r peak hours are between 7 p.m. and m i d n i g h t . . . w h e n students are down here studying and they need a little p i c k - m e - u p . "

S o m e first t i m e c u s t o m e r s at Espresso Express w e r e greatful for the cart when they j o u r n e y e d over to J P ' s c o f f e e s h o p and f o u n d it closed. T h e y found E s p r e s s o Express a convenient and safe alternative to q u e n c h i n g their c o f f e e needs. " I t ' s s a f e r for p e o p l e to walk here rather than J P ' s , " said A m b e r Weber ( ' 9 8 ) . " S i n c e J P ' s isn't open on S u n d a y s a lot of p e o p l e will probably c o m e here and will continue to return because it is so convenient." Faba likes to spend the whole day w o r k i n g at the c o f f e e bar so he can gel to know the s t u d e n t s thai are regulars. He also likes to hire those regulars to work w h e n Faba c a n ' t be there and will eventually gives them more hours so he can be free to establish an Espresso Express at another location. Faba has a l r e a d y hired three Hope students to work for him. The best selling drinks arc the Mocha, Latte, and the Steamer. The S t e a m e r has the flavoring of your choice s t e a m e d into milk resulting in a w a r m c u p of flavored milk, a layer of flavored f o a m , and a spritz of chocolate on top. T h e y

have o v e r 17 f l a v o r s for their cust o m e r s to mix and match in their drinks. P r i c e s on the drinks are aff o r d a b l e and range f r o m $ 1 . 1 5 - $ 3 . P a t r o n s and critics are quick to a g r e e that E s p r e s s o Express uses only the finest p r o d u c t s in the c o f fee m a k i n g business. " W e get our flavors from Seattle, the m a c h i n e is straight f r o m Italy, and w e get o u r b e a n s direct f r o m C o l u m b i a , " Faba said. Faba is m o n i t o r i n g the flow of s t u d e n t s and is trying to d e t e r m i n e what their hours of business will be. As Espresso E x p r e s s b e c o m e s m o r e e s t a b l i s h e d they will o f f e r d i s c o u n t c a r d s , refill m u g s , and c o f f e e g i f t b a s k e t s filled w i t h a bottle of flavoring, chocolate covered c o f f e e b e a n s , Italian candy, a n d b a g o f c o f f e e g r o u n d s for $14.95. Espresso Express is r u n n i n g on a tentative s c h e d u l e until the flow of s t u d e n t s is more predictable. As of now the hours ot operation arc Sunday 4:30 p.m.-midmght, M o n day through T h u r s d a y 8 a . m . - m i d night, Friday 8 a . m . - 5 p.m. e x t e n d ing their hours if there is an event, and S a t u r d a y hours have yet to be determined.

Republicans trumpeting change after election rout on by next July 4. by Jim Riekse n e w s editor

According to USA Today, the

Last w e e k ' s elections ushered in a dramatic c h a n g i n g of the guard as R e p u b l i c a n s took hold of both the H o u s e and the Senate, voted in by a country " s e e k i n g c h a n g e " in Washington.

According to the Wall Street Journal, public s e n t i m e n t is leaning a w a y f r o m President Clinton and the D e m o c r a t i c party, a fact well evident c o n s i d e r i n g that 6 5 % of voters think a R e p u b l i c a n d o m i nated C o n g r e s s is positive for the country. W h e n polled on v a r y i n g issues, voters generally expressed greater c o n f i d e n c e in the R e p u b l i c a n s than Clinton. By a t w o - t o - o n e margin, they preferred the Republican approach to crime, and by a three-toone margin f a v o r the R e p u b l i c a n handling of taxes. O t h e r priorities which voters v i e w e d as deficient a m o n g the D e m o c r a t s were welfare reform and m i d d l e - c l a s s tax cut. The R e p u b l i c a n s realize the novelty of the situation, not having controlled the H o u s e in 4 0 years, and are m o v i n g quickly to install party policy. T h e y will bring their 10-point "Contract with A m e r i c a " to the f o r e f r o n t . T h e contract includes s p e n d i n g cuts, tax breaks, and i n c r e a s e d d e f e n s e s p e n d i n g . Speaker-of-the-House-to-be Newt Gingrich also a d d e d to the contract an a m e n d m e n t to the Constitution w h i c h w o u l d a l l o w p r a y e r in school, which he s a y s will be voted

R e p u b l i c a n s will m o v e quickly to trim t a x e s . Rep. Bill A r c h e r , RTexas, expected to b e c o m e the next c h a i r m a n of the W a y s and M e a n s C o m m i t t e e already has several proposals to " r e m o v e the IRS to the greatest extent f r o m our lives." His suggestions include cutting in half the m a x i m u m capital gains tax of 2 8 % , rolling back the tax increase on Social Security benefits, and restore tax sheltered Individual Retirement A c c o u n t s on upper-inc o m e taxpayers. N e w f o u n d p o w e r on v a r i o u s c o m m i t t e e s will let R e p u b l i c a n s exercise their ideas in other areas. Virginia's Rep. T h o m a s Bliley, w h o is a m a j o r o p p o n e n t to increased tax on cigarettes, will use the health and e n v i r o n m e n t subc o m m i t t e e to end i n v e s t i g a t i o n s into the tobacco industry. Sen. J e s s e H e l m s of North Carolina, w h o sits on the Foreign Relations C o m m i t t e e , w a n t s to cut foreign aid p r o g r a m s that have sent billions of tax-payer dollars "down foreign rat holes." S e n . P e t e D o m e n i c i of N e w Mexico, will attempt to attain quick a p p r o v a l for t h e l i n e - i t e m veto through the Budget C o m m i t t e e . A resurgent G O P presence also has implications for West Michi-

gan. The Grand Rapids Press rev eal s that Rep. Pete Hoekstra and Rep. Vern Ehlers now have a fellow Republican to plead their case to c o n c e r n i n g m o d i f i c a t i o n s to the

Maria's M e j a l t H e c W

Clean Air Act. The act will force West Michigan drivers to undergo vehicle e m i s s i o n ' s tests every two years, since the area tested poorly during air quality tests. Yet the Cong r e s s m e n c l a i m the p o l l u t i o n is generated by Chicago and Milwaukee and West M i c h i g a n is b e i n g unduly punished. Hoekstra sees the c h a n c e of repealing the mandatory tests as more likely with Republicans in control. "1 can get on the phone to ( G O P Rep.) Fred Upton and say, ' F r e d , y o u ' r e on the Energy and C o m merce Committee, so let's see if we can take care of this Clean Air Fooli s h n e s s , " ' he s a i d . A t t e m p t s to m o d i f y the act had g o n e n o w h e r e under f o r m e r Democratic chairman John Dingell. T h e tidal wave of Republican sentiment has Democrats unnerved, and fear that there is little chance of the two parties collaborating. " W h a t the Republicans will try to do is deny Clinton any victory that w o u l d enhance his chances to get r e - e l e c t e d , " said Rep. Henry W a x m a n , D-Calif. R e t i r i n g Rep. T i m Penny, DMinn., s a y s that Clinton will have s o m e p o w e r with Clinton's veto but that "Except for a handful of issues, the liberals are going to be in the wilderness." For t h o s e students interested in f u r t h e r c o n s i d e r a t i o n of the election's impact, political science professors will lead a dessert discussion in Lubbers 106, Wednesday f r o m 7 to 8:30 p m .

A r e a police o f f i c e r s met wifh Hope students and c o n c e r n e d local residents last Wednesday to discuss the existence and characteristics of g a n g s in Holland and the m e a s u r e s being used to prevent them f r o m taking root. T h e p r e s e n t a t i o n , held in the Maas Auditorium, began with Sgt. G e n e K o o p m a n of the O t t a w a County S h e r i f f ' s D e p a r t m e n t confirming the fact that g a n g s are f u n c tioning in the Holland area, but that the problem is not yet a " p o w d e r keg." " W e certainly have gangs, but in c o m p a r i s o n to m a j o r cities, the problem is quite minor," K o o p m a n said. K o o p m a n stressed the fact that to p r e v e n t d a n g e r o u s s i t u a t i o n s , Hope students must avoid any attempt of violence."Violence begets violence and they ( g a n g m e m b e r s ) will w i n , " he admitted. " T h e r e is just no c o m m o n s e n s e to their actions. If you hit t h e m with your hand, they will pull out a g u n and shoot you. You're not equipped to challenge t h e m . " . G a n g s in the area can be separated into t w o large g r o u p s , the Folks and the People, which break off into various sub-groups, according to K o o p m a n . T h e F o l k s , c h a r a c t e r i z e d by blue and black c o l o r s and the star of David, include such g r o u p s as the C r i p s w i t h A t t i t u d e s , E r o t i c F o r e i g n C r e s i a n C r i p s , a n d the y o u n g e r Junior Crips.

Two weeks ago a letter to the editor was submitted to TTreAnctor concerning the alleged mistreatment of minorities on Hope's campus. In response, Hope students were asked, "Do you feel that racism Is a problem at Hope?" Hope students said... .

EDITORIAL Education measured in more than grades Consider— Statistics. Facts. Data. Equations. N o w consider—Dedication. Compassion. Friendship. Love. Think about the differences between these two groups of nouns. The first group represents things that we learn in classrooms—the stuff that can be converted into 25 multiple choice, ten fill in the blank and two short answers all in under 50 minutes. These things can be memorized off of flash cards, easily corrected with red ink. The second group is a little harder to get a handle on. Their answers cannot be found in the back of the book. The important facts concerning these things are not always spelled out for us in bold face type and chances are, we'll never be given letter grades for this stuff. However, what all of these nouns have in common is that they are all important things for every student to learn during their college career. Often times, as we zoom in on academics in the traditional end-of-semester panic before-gasp-finals, we become so focused on academics that we forget to keep our grades in perspective. We forget we are only graded so to speak on our class work not our entire existence. And while we may be on top of the curve when it comes to things like statistics, facts, data, and equations, we may be bombing in areas like dedication, compassion, friendship and love. Or vice versa. For this reason. The Anchor would like to encourage you to keep your academic standing in perspective to the other areas in your life. Don't just think about your grades. Thjnk about what you have learned during the past semester—both in the classroom and out. Maybe you were a part of an athletic team or a participant in a theater production. Maybe you did community service or excelled at your off-campus job. Maybe you had an interpersonal success with a family member, friend, or significant other. Maybe you made it through an interpersonal failure or two—who knows—but you learned something, not something that will be reflected in your report card, but something that deserves recognition and evaluation none the less. In fact, it may even merit more. However, sometimes it's quite difficult for us to evaluate ourselves as not only academic students, but as student of life as well. We get locked into the role of the academic students and forget that not all of our efforts in life will be evaluated by letters typed onto a perforated sheet of copy paper. We must remember at the end of semesters and always, to evaluate ourselves according to the big picture. So, as you figure out your grade point—figure in everything you have done this semester. For example, after you figure in 2 "A's", "3 B's" and a "C" for your classes, think about the other grades you've earned in the last 4 months. Like the "A" you got for helping a friend through a tough time or the "B+" that you got for your involvement in an extra curricular activity. However you choose to go about it, the important thing to remember is that there is more to learning than grades.

Student responds to 'A Few Heterosexuals' Dear Editor: I would like to address the Letter to the Editor submitted by Heterosexuals Fanger, Kurtz, Knodt and Coats in last week's Anchor. Having not d o n e my political and social homework sufficiently, I will humbly refrain from any discussion of the issue taken in the letter inasmuch as it does not affect the thesis of this correspondence. These four women have put f o r t h a p i e c e of r h e t o r i c so literarily and objectively inadequate that any rational understanding of their argument is unattainable. While the personal insults in the introduction did much to tarnish the integrity of these four authors, I'll move on to the meat of the argument, beginning in paragraph two. Fanger, et al. imply that the lack of the nec-

essary critical thinking skills to draw a sound intellectual inference is directly related to being a prejudiced person. As I see it, we are not given enough information to determine any causal relationship between these two traits. Moreover, 1 know of many unbigoted people w h o — f r o m an obj e c t i v e s t a n d p o i n t — a r e unskilled critical thinkers, and vice versa. F o l l o w i n g the citation of two well-known scientific case studies, Fanger and friends continue with "As you can see through the scientific evidence, h o m o s e x u a l i t y is not a choice, it is a genetic trait." In high school speech class, this is called a hasty generalization. T w o s c i e n t i f i c q u o t e s c a n be found to back up any position on any issue. Furthermore, it is an insult to

phrase

as you can see..." as if we

are too backward to realize this fact. I will add that quoting Descartes would have d o n e much to elevate the style had a quote not been chosen that could so easily be used against the authors. Clearly, mailing a letter so fraught with grammatical errors as to make it barely comprehensible and attempting to attack a rhetorically and stylistically sound article with said o p u s s h o w s quite a lack of understanding on the parts of Miss Fanger, et al. Fortunately, the cause supported by these four zealots has talents such as Karsten Voskuil and Jim Riekse to take pen in hand and fuel the debate properly. P e r h aps the writing could be left to them...

Sincerely, Robert Abbott ('97)

I read your articles and wish that I could talk to the authors of those articles. This time 1 felt that 1 had to respond not only as a Christian, but also as a proud alumnus of Hope College. This is in regards to the letters to the editor which were responding to the "Like Oil and Water" article, Eric Foster, November 2. With regards to the article written by Mary Fanger, Jill K u r t z , Kirsten Knodt and Audrey Coats, I find their rebuttal a stream of mindless dribble that did nothing for the rights of the gay community but only responded to the character of Eric Foster. I do not know Eric Foster, but if his character needs correction, then state that. Do not hide behind a convenient socially hot topic. If these women indeed wanted to speak on the subject of homosexuality, then they should stop reading so many psychological journals and begin to talk with people who are gay and/or lesbian. They conveniently accuse Eric Foster of knowing very little about homosexuality. They themselves point out their desperate attempt to learn quickly some stats that

rently working on a book that tells about the ministry that they have dedicated much of their lives to: working with homosexuals and, in some instances, seeing them change their sexual orientation. These are not myths. They are actual people. They and their change, are both very real. The second thing that 1 found Todd in error of was assuming that Eric thinks of homosexuals as he thinks of Satanists and pedophiles. In the Christian faith a sin is a sin. I am not sure that those are the best examples with which to compare homosexuality, but they are just the-same as an alcoholic group that supports each other's drinking habits. Or a group of married faculty that get together and try to understand why they have to cheat on their spouse. In the Christian faith, 1 believe, as it is apparent, Eric Foster believes that homosexuality is not acceptable in the eyes of the Lord. Professors such as Steven Hoogerwerf will challenge me on this opinion, but I feel that the Bible is clear on this, as well as many other socially acceptable things. In today's ever-accepting world, Christians must stand up and say

sound important so that they can look and s o u n d politically c o r r e c t . It failed. Mary, Jill, Kirsten, and Audrey you condemn Eric f o r j u d g i n g and in the same breath, or touch of a key, turn and judge him. Before you be-

tant Priests were put in Nazi concentration camps because of who they were and what they stood for. Jews and gays were not the only persecuted people in World War II. And finally, if you will go back and read Eric Foster's article again, he stands very much in opposition to those who seek to harm homosexuals simply because

My last c o m m e n t is with regard to Benjamin Perfitt's article. He is absolutely right. If homosexual men and women are being verbally and physically abused, it must come to a stop. Now. Jesus' command to us all was to " L o v e the Lord God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: "Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets h a n g on these two commandments" (Matthew 22:37-40) We are called to love. In spite of our differences, w e are to love. But that does not mean that we are to accept all that goes on around us. As Christians we have an obligation to stand firm on what we b e l i e v e , but always with love. If love is not at the center, then w e are not s t a n d i n g firm. We are standing on our own ignorance. But we can stand firm in love and still say that it is wrong. Since I am writing to the editor of a paper at a R e f o r m e d Church College 1 will end with the stance that was so unashamedly misquoted by Karsten Trahms in the "Basic Human R i g h t s " article, N o v e m b e r 2. The Reformed Church in America has not moved away f r o m its stance on homosexuality simply because it is willing and wanting to learn how to better love all the members of its community. "To adopt as the position of the Reformed Church in America that the practicing homosexual lifestyle is contrary to Scripture while at the same time encouraging love and sensitivity towards such persons as fellow human beings ( M G S 1990, R11, p.461)."

Sincerely, Bruce M. Snoap ('90)

Student follows up on previous letter Dear Editor, Last week I submitted in response to gay bashing on Hope's campus. I. am i n f u r i a t e d by the n u m b e r s of Christinas who have openly condemmed me in response. I am upset for one reason - Christians at Hope seem to think that any reference to God is in reference to Christianity. I should hope that Christians d o n ' t truly believe that they ' o w n ' God. God is for everyone, not just Christians. This seems to be the general attitude at Hope though. The administration especially - which believes

non-Christians are not "good enough to teach at Hope, and judging from

the Jewish belief 1 was raised with, God does not create someone to be

to be here either. 1 also see this view in the Christian right (which exists in the Republican Party) when they boldly announce, "This is our coun-

X-country team going national

Swimmers ready to stroke to greatness by G l y n W i l l i a m s staff reporter At H o p e C o l l e g e , b o t h the men s and w o m e n ' s s w i m m i n g t e a m s are g a z e d upon with the admiration of all. A n d w h y s h o u l d n ' t they be? C o n s i d e r i n g the fact that the w o m e n ' s team placed second in the nation last year, and the m e n ' s finished f i f t h ( i n c l u d i n g a national c h a m p i o n 8(X)m relay). Both t e a m s have great c h a n c e s to repeat those a w e s o m e c o n d i t i o n s this year, or perhaps do even better. D e s p i t e t h e i r m a n y y e a r s of greatness, H o p e has almost a l w a y s been put back b e c a u s e of the o v e r whelmingly p o w e r f u l Kenyon College, w h o is a standard at first place in the nation. A c c o r d i n g to s w i m ming coach J o h n Patnott, the team has a natural shot at the M I A A title, but it will take a lot of hard wor

k." C o a c h Patnott also c o m m e n t e d that K a l a m a z o o will b e a t o u g h team this year. A l m a ( w h o placed second in the M I A A last year) will

be a threat o n c e again this year, and both Calvin and Albion look to be better. R e t u r n i n g A l l - A m e r i c a n s for H o p e ' s w o m e n ' s s w i m m i n g team will be Kristin H o v i n g ( ' 9 6 ) , M e g a n Hunter ( ' 9 7 ) , D a n a Horner ( ' 9 6 ) , Theresa Kirkland ( ' 9 6 ) , Sara Looman ('97), Susan Looman ( ' 9 7 ) , and Denice Masselink ( ' 9 5 ) . " O u r team looks real strong and c l o s e (unity wise), but w e ' l l just have to wait and s e e , " said Hoving. S e e i n g as how there are no seniors on the w o m e n ' s team, Hope C o l l e g e ' s d o m i n a n c e in s w i m m i n g will continue on in the years ahead, Behind the leadership of strong seniors, the m e n ' s team is looking to d o better than last y e a r ' s fifth place. T h e goal is get within the top four in the nation, w h e r e the team will win a trophy. A s it w a s exp e c t e d , the team w o n the M I A A last year, and should challenge for the number o n e spot once again this year, a l t h o u g h K a l a m a z o o looks like the team to beat. "If w e plan to do anything, w e

must work together as a team and work with what w e have...and w e must get the team motivated. I ' m very optimistic," said Patnott. T h e t e a m ' s top s w i m m e r s this year will be Kirk Assink ( w h o was an All-American last year) ( ' 9 5 ) , Aaron H o f f m a n (All-American last year) ( ' 9 6 ) , Matt Hollebeek ( ' 9 5 ) , S h a w n Kinser ( ' 9 6 ) , Dan K n a p p ( ' 9 5 ) , and John Methric ( ' 9 6 ) . Last y e a r ' s national c h a m p i o n 8 0 0 m relay f o u r - m a n t e a m c o n sisted of Brad Jansen ( ' 9 4 ) , Steve Hope ( ' 9 5 ) , Kinser, and Assink. Of that group, only Kinser and Assink remain, as Hope will not be s w i m ming this year, and Jansen graduated. Hope lost only two s w i m m e r s from last y e a r ' s team, and those two were replaced by an excellent group of f r e s h m e n eager to help the team. " T h e r e is a lot of p r e s s u r e present, because I want to contribute, but I ' m just not sure if I can yet. T h e w h o l e team has been real supportive and have helped me out a lot," said Dan Shelley ( ' 9 8 ) .

by Greg Paplawsky sports editor . The Hope college women's cross-country team is going national. The Flying Dutch competed in the Great Lakes regional in Anderson, Indiana, on Saturday November 11. They finished second in the meet to Calvin College, of Grand Rapids, who is also going to nationals. Marie Matchett ('97) led the Dutch by finishing seventh overall, while Ellen Schultz ('98) crossed the finish line in eighth place. The rest of the Hope runners finished as follows: Sara Decker ('97) came in 12th, Michelle Neel ('97) finished 17th,

and Amy Leatherman ('95) crossed in 20th position. The Hope men fared well, but not good enough to move on in the search for number one. The* men finished ninth in the field of 23 teams. The first Hope finisher was Erik Carpenter ('96), who crossed in 27th place. The other six Hope finishers were Jeremy Bogard ('98), Tom Horling ('98), Dan Bannink ('97), Mike Cranmer ('97), Tim Franklyn ('98), and Aaron VandeWege ('98). The women's team will be traveling to the national crosscountry meet this weekend, November 19-20, in Bethlehem, PA.

RUNNIN' WITH THE RAWLINGS: The Dutch practice up for the Hope Invitational tournament this weekend at the Dow.

B-ball teams practice for MIAA championship runs by Glyn W i l l i a m s staff reporter After returning all of the m e m b e r s of last y e a r ' s 16-9 m e n ' s basketball t e a m , c o a c h Glenn Van Wan Wieren is e x t r e m e l y optimistic t o w a r d s this y e a r ' s t e a m . National polls for Division III basketball have placed Hope as low as ninth, and as high as eighteenth. Because of the m a n y returning lettermen, no f r e s h m a n m a d e the varsity team. H o w ever, d u e to an injury to o n e of the varsity players, Joel H o l s t e g ( ' 9 8 ) is practicing with the team and will most likely see p l a y i n g time for the varsity team. O n e of the toughest g a m e s of the s e a s o n for H o p e will be rival Calvin, a w a y on J a n u ary 11, and h o m e on February 8. Other tough g a m e s will be against K a l a m a z o o , A l b i o n , A l m a , W h e a t o n , Siena H e i g h t s , and North Central University. Siena Heights will be extremely tough, since that school is a Division II N A I A s c h o l a r s h i p - g i v i n g p r o g r a m . C a p t a i n s for this y e a r ' s t e a m are Brad D u i s t e m a r s ( ' 9 5 ) and D w a y n e B o s m a ( ' 9 6 ) . Other stars for this y e a r ' s team w h i c h c o n sists of only three s e n i o r s are Kyle Plank ( ' 9 5 ) and D o u g S c h l o f f ( ' 9 5 ) . A c c o r d i n g to C o a c h Van W i e r e n , there are m a n y top f r e s h m e n on the j u n i o r varsity squad that will be leaders for the team in the future. T h o s e j u n i o r varsity players are Chris

Merrit ('98), Andy Holoka ('98), Darren Tygilar ( ' 9 8 ) , Tim H o k s m a ('98), M i k e

Patiglia ( ' 9 8 ) , and Don Akins ( ' 9 8 ) . T h e basketball team is very excited about the fact that this season there will be bus transportation to all the away g a m e s , and s h u t t l e van s e r v i c e s to the C i v i c C e n t e r d o w n t o w n for h o m e games. All shuttles and buses will meet by the Hag pole in front of DeWitt. The w o m e n ' s basketball team, which barely had an above .500 season last year at 13-12, has b e e n picked as second in the M I A A behind A l m a , and ahead of Calvin. " W e have a shot, but Alma and Calvin both have t r e m e n d o u s athletes. We are the most talented team in the M I A A , but we lack experience," said Coach Tod Gugino. Albion and Adrian are both expected to be tough c o m p e t i t o r s this season as well. T h e Hillsdale tournament on D e c e m b e r 2 - 3 , will f e a t u r e s o m e e x t r e m e l y t o u g h teams, with 3 N A I A schools participating. "(The t o u r n a m e n t ) will be a good challenge, but if w e expect to win w e have to take them out of their g a m e and really get into o u r s , " said Coach G u g i n o . Leading the team this season will be 6 ' 2 " Kristin Carlson ( ' 9 5 ) , Nikie Mantis ( ' 9 5 ) , Allysa P o s t m a s ( ' 9 8 ) , three pointer sensation T a m m y H o l l e m a n ( ' 9 8 ) and last y e a r ' s team M V P Shellie Kyers ( ' 9 7 ) . " W e can beat any team on our schedule. I think the reason for this is our depth. O u r 10, 11, and 12 players could be starters on s o m e of the t e a m s that w e play," said Coach Gugino.

Surgery shows father/son relationship more than skin deep by Jodi M c F a r l a n d features editor Kyle Ritsema ( ' 9 4 ) takes after his dad, Dr. Robert Ritsema, professor of music. H e has his long, musician-like f i n g e r s and size 14 feet that are still g r o w i n g . A s a result of surgery last July, Kyle has had his f a t h e r ' s kidney as well. When Kyle w a s diagnosed with G l o m e r u l o u s Nephritis, a k i d n e y disease of u n k n o w n origin in 1988, his family k n e w that a transplant w a s i m m i n e n t . K y l e w a s treated with extensive c h e m o t h e r a p y three times, but last D e c e m b e r the doctors told the R i t s e m a s that the time for t r a n s p l a n t i n g had arrived. K y l e ' s p a r e n t s and three siblings were tested for compatibility, but only Dr. Ritsema and Kyle's middle

brother w e r e classified as living, related donors, with w h o m there w a s less c h a n c e of rejection. " M y w i f e w a s thoroughly convinced from the start that she would be the one, b e c a u s e Kyle takes a lot a f t e r her, and she w a s q u i t e s h o c k e d w h e n she f o u n d out she w o u l d not b e t h e d o n o r , " Dr. R i t s e m a said. Because most kidney t r a n s plants last between 15 and 3 0 years, Kyle said, it w a s logical to have Dr. Ritsema be the first donor. " B y then h e ' d be well into his eighties," Kyle said. When the kidney fails, his brother will donate o n e of his. "It just s e e m e d natural that I do it b e c a u s e they soon need replacing, and in that case my other son will b e a r o u n d if n e e d e d , " Dr.

Ritsema said. Dr. Ritsema sees nothing courageous about his donation. He said that it d o e s n ' t even seem out of the ordinary to him. "I think anyone w h o is a parent or even a sibling will automatically do it," Dr. Ritsema said. "All the fuss I'd like to put aside. I just don't look on it as being s o m e sort of heroic e v e n t . " Dr. Ritsema's role in the surgery w a s not a simple one, however. T h e long incision was accompanied with the removal of a rib in order for the doctors to have access to his kidney. T h e healing process has been a bit s l o w e r than Dr. R i t s e m a had thought, however, and said that he still gets very tired. K y l e ' s kidney disease has had

an effect on his life, although he has been able to lead a fairly active o n e despite it. Unfortunately, the disease did m a k e its presence felt more strongly w h e n Kyle lost sight in his left eye. "That w a s probably the worst t h i n g — l o s i n g partial sight," Kyle said. He has been lucky, however, in that he w a s out of the hospital only eight d a y s after surgery, instead of the two w e e k s predicted by doctors, and the medication which he takes twice daily does not m a k e him ill, as he w a s warned that it w o u l d . " I t ' s a b i g c h a n g e . You get used to feeling 9 5 % , so when you feel 100% it's totally d i f f e r e n t , " Kyle said about the d i f f e r e n c e in the w a y he felt after surgery. " H e ' s had no episodes of rejec-

tion since c o m i n g f r o m the hospital," Dr. R i t s e m a said of the succ e s s of the surgery. " W e were told that he would have several and even have to g o back to the hospital." Kyle said he has been t h a n k f u l for the support he received in the f o r m of c a r d s f r o m H o p e f a c u l t y — those that he had taken classes with and those p r o f e s s o r s that he did not know, as well. Each night and m o r n i n g w h e n he t a k e s the pills necessary for his body to c o n t i n u e to f u n c t i o n well, he r e m e m b e r s his disease, but he also recalls his lifes a v i n g surgery. He said that he will never f o r get July 2 6 , the day on which he had the transplant. " F o r me, that w a s kind of like a s e c o n d chance-at life," Kyle said. " T h a t ' l l be my anniversary on life."

A FIRST-RATE MUSICAL VIRTUOSO: Charles Castleman is considered one of the world's foremost violinists and has been acclaimed for his musical sensitivity, technical polish and brilliant lyricism.

Louis Nagel, a m e m b e r of the p i a n o faculty of the University of M i c h i g a n , p e r f o r m e d for a s p a r s e but enthusiastic crowd on Friday night in Dimnent Chapel, o p e n i n g the s e a s o n ' s Artist Piano Series. T h e first portion of N a g e l ' s p r o g r a m included w o r k s of Frescobaldi, J.S. Bach, M e n d e l s s o h n , and S h o s t a k o v i c h . A f t e r the intermission, he p e r f o r m e d Modest M u s s o r s k y ' s "Pictures at an Exhibition." M u s s o r s k y ' s virtuoso masterwork w a s written as a tribute to a longtime artist-friend of the c o m p o s e r , and represents M u s s o r s k y ' s tour through different pieces of art. S u c h m o v e m e n t s as " B a l l e t of the C h i c k s in their s h e l l s " and " T w o Polish J e w s , O n e Rich, the Other P o o r " are divided up by a t h e m e which is called the " P r o m e n a d e . " T h e p r o m e n a d e t h e m e is a short passage meant to depict Mussorsky w a l k i n g from one display to the next. T h e most interesting thing about this t h e m e is that it is written in the rather a w k w a r d pattern of 5/4 - 6/4, m e a n i n g five beats per measure, then six beats per measure. M a n y have c o n c l u d e d that this unusual timing is appropriate, due to the fact that M u s s o r s k y w a s an unusually large g e n t l e m a n w h o probably did a p p e a r a bit a w k w a r d m o v i n g f r o m one picture to the next. T h e composition concludes with " T h e Great Gate of Kiev." T h e majestic c h o r d s and virtoustic p a s s a g e s in the right hand bring the m a g n i f i c e n t "Pictures at an Exhibition" to a triumphant close. N a g e l ' s p e r f o r m a n c e of this w o r k was unsurpassingly brilliant f r o m b e g i n n i n g to end.

String trio livens faculty recital mm by S u f j a n Stevens arts & entertainment editor Wichers A u d i t o r i u m w a s filled to capacity last Sunday for the third program of the Faculty Recital Series, which w a s marked by religious u n d e r t o n e s and a romantic edge. The most spectacular perform a n c e w a s the final piece, Anton A r e n s k y ' s exciting " T r i o in D M i n o r , O p . 32," performed by Mihai Craiveanu, violin, Robert Ritsema, cello, and J o a n C o n w a y , piano. T h e extended Allegro m o d e r a t o o p e n s with a r o m a n t i c t h e m a t i c e x p o s i t i o n on solo violin, f o l l o w e d by the cello. while the piano o c c a s i o n a l l y slips f r o m p u r e a c c o m p a n i m e n t to the foreground. S o m e t i m e s the sound moved f r o m quiet, water-like pulsations to

frantic, wild convulsions. T h e trio w a s led, but not controlled, by the romantic climaxes of the violin; the piano acted as play-do, molding the strings together; and the cello w a s a n y t h i n g but non-essential, gliding in and out of the musical surface with ease. Ritsema lept from acc o m p a n y i n g in the lowest register of the cello to e x p o s i n g t h e m e s in the higher register without sacrificing tone control. T h e shorter S c h e r z o : Allegro molto is pervaded by a catchy, flighty syncopating t h e m e is accented by h i g h c h i r p s on the violin and jovial pizzicatos on the cello.

" T h i s play examines the lives of three Mississippi sisters betrayed by t h e i r p a s s i o n s .

T h e p l a y w a s p r e s e n t e d to packed houses in the DeWitt Studio T h e a t r e on N o v e m b e r 10-12. Friday night's performance fulfilled the statement in the program, for it was alternately heartwrenching and hilarious. " C r i m e s of the Heart" revolves around the lives of three sisters w h o reside in Hazelhurst, Mississippi, in the mid-twentieth century. Lenny, the oldest sister, played by Erin Davison ( ' 9 6 ) , keeps herself so busy taking care of their grandfather that she almost forgets to take care of herself. S h e also pushes away a potential suitor, Charlie, because she is a s h a m e d of her " d e f o r m e d ovary." The plot evolves as Lenny sends a telegram asking her sister Meg, played by Meredith Kooyer ( ' 9 6 ) , to c o m e h o m e f r o m C a l i f o r n i a where she has been trying to patch together a singing career, for Babe, the youngest sister, is in trouble. Janet Doughty ('97) played Babe, w h o has shot her husband Zachary because she " d i d n ' t like his looks." N o w Lenny, Babe and M e g must try to make sense of all that has happened. Several other c h a r a c t e r s take part in the action. B a b e ' s lawyer, Barnette Lloyd, played by Trenton Kuhtz ( ' 9 6 ) , appears to fall for his client as the play develops.
