Congress Discusses South

Africa; New President

by Brian Breen

Hope's Student Congress met for the first t ime of the second semester last Thursday night, starting out with a clean slate which quickly filled up with new business.

President Dave Brat passed out interview forms to congress members urging them to talk to 10 students they represent on the problems and-or goals they have at Hope College. To date, no organization or students (besides congress members) have voiced the i r op in ions a t c o n g r e s s meetings.

Ramin Ahmadi asked congress to reconsider sending a letter of disapproval to the Board of Trustees regarding divestment in SOuth Africa. Ahmadi said a 'sit in' in protest of the South African Task Force ' s lack of ac-tion will take place on or around the clay the Trustees next meet. About ^5 people luiu- commitleu

themselves to the sit in. Second Vice-President Bob

Clifford commented, 'Even if we (the congress) sent the Board of Trustees a letter every other day. . .Hope College will not divest. ' A motion to send a letter failed.

Quest ions re la t ing to the qualifications of Hope's next President were heard from marjy members. Brat said the ability to act on a personal level with students should be a qualifica-tion. Clifford stated a provision on the qualifications list covers that, but many members of con-gress wondered if it was clear enough. Clifford responded for briefness it was left out along with many other qualifications that are necessary but not on paper.

Mark McDowell said he felt the qualifications list was fine and that as far as he was concerned the committee should be com-mended for its work. 'Send it to

them with blessing, ' s ta ted McDowell.

Sandy Schweitzer proposed a qualification of meeting minority needs should be a Presidential qualification. Schweitzer was refering to religious and finan-cial minorities as well as racial .

McDowell countered saying it would be setting up a sort of quota system if Hope tried to ac-comodate every different type of student. 'If they're qualified to come to Hope College them we'll let them. We have a whole finan-cial aid department and other departments as well.'

As a whole. Congress felt one of the main duties of the new Presi-dent should be composing a more diverse student body. Dirk W e e l d r e y e r p r o p o s e d t h e members on the Presidential search committee report the goal of a more diverse campus to the search committee. The motion passed.

Great Performance Series featuring Jazz dance

Jazzdance, featuring repertory sets to the works of such jazz greats as Hoagy Carmichel, Dave Brubeck, and A1 Jolson, will be presented as the next event of the Great Per formance Series on Friday, Jan . 17 and Saturday, Jan . 18. at 8 p.m. in the DeWitt Center Theatre.

Jazzdance is a choreographic voice of The Danny Buraczeski Dance Company of New York Ci-ty. Formed in 1979, the company has toured the United States, has appeared at the American Dance Festival, and is about to present its sixth New York season.

The company of eigth dancers explores the expressive potential of jazz dancing n the concert stage. Each performance is m u s i c a l l y and s t y l i s t i c a l l y varied, taking its aspirations from a rich American musical heritage.

Directed by Burasceski, the company has found herald ed success on the New York scene. Says Dancemagaz ine in its F e b r u a r y 1 9 8 5 i s s u e r ' . . .Buracseski discardds the high kicks and glitter, working in-stead with counterpoint and dynamics to create sophisticated visualizations of jazz music. The crisp, succinct style is tightly contained; the dancers skim the floor, their a rms flashing out oc-casionally with sha rp little gestures or clenched hands. This verges on a sort of minimalist jazz dance, most stunning at its most simple. '

Nurtured in musical comedy, Buracseski performed on Broad-way a n d t o u r e d in m a n y musicals including 'Mame' with Angela Landsbury and 'The Act' with Liza Minnelli. He has

c h o r e o g r a p h e d w o r k s f o r American Ballet Comedy, Ballet Today, as well as Richmond Ballet in Virginia. A noted jazz teacher throughout the U.S. and Europe, Buraczeski served on the faculty of the New York University Tisch School of the Arts during the 1984-85 year.

The night 's program on the Hope stage will include four dan-cing sets, featuring 'Avalon,' the piece commissioned by the Jacob 's Pillow Dance Festival as part of the Jazz Project 1985.

All seats are reserved, costing $7 for adults, $6 for senior citizens and $3 for students.

Tickets may be reserved by calling 392-1449 or 394-6996. The theatre depar tment box office is selling tickets f rom 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Charles Edison Memorial Youth Fund is sponsoring an academic- internship p rogram for fifty journalism and com-munications students. The pro-gram is entitled the Institute on Political Journal ism and will be held in Washington D.C. from June 6 to July 19, 1986. Fifty students from around the coun-

t r y will be selected to attend. According to a recent press

Irelease from Dr. Lee Edwards, director of the Institute, students who are chosen to attend the In-stitute will reside on the campus of Georgetown University and will part icipate in a variety of media-related activities. During the morning, students will attend classes in Economics and Public Policy and Ethics and Media. During the afternoons, students will work as interns in the offices of news media, members of Con-gress, the executive branch, and private media-related organiza-tions; In addition, students will e n g a g e in weekly e v e n i n g dialogues with several leading

Washington journalists and will attend weekly on-site briefings led by policy experts at the White H o u s e , S t a t e D e p a r t m e n t , S u p r e m e Cour t , and o the r Washington news centers.

According to Mr. Edwards, students can obtain six credits fo r t h e c o u r s e w o r k f r o m Georgetown University. An addi-tional three credit hours can be earned from the student 's own college.

A scholarship program is available for students who have been accepted to the program. A student may obtain a scholarship application by writing or calling the Charles Edison Memorial Youth Fund.

Opinion HOPE COLLEGE ANCHOR January 14, 1986

The Recognit ion King Deserves Today is the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday.

On Monday next, the United States will celebrate the first na-tional holiday commemorating this date. It will be a federal holi-day, with all that entails, such as the closing of both banks and the post office, all across the nation.

Here at Hope, however, there isn't a whole lot going on as of yet.

This is odd, especially in light of the fact that we have a Student Congress, an Administration, and a Board of Trustees that all agree on the fact that Hope should increase minority recruitment. One of the major ways to do this, it seems, is to show that there is some sort of concern for minorities on the campus.

There has been no official notice about any special lectures or events. Congress has seemingly passed their chance by to do something with nary a hiccup or batted eye, and the Administra-tion in whatever form it chooses to take has not offered any state-

ment about the holiday or the actual birthday.

The only thing that is left to do, it appears, is to have a special chapel service on that day, which, to the best of our knowledge, has not as yet been planned.

Showing some sort of acknowledgement for this day is not only a matter of bringing in new students, however. Its much more. It celebrates the birth of one of the most important men ever to live and work in our country, and on the earth itself. Armstrong made a 'giant step for mankind' when stepping onto the lunar surface. King took thousands of those giant steps, for all of us, before his death.

Why, then, is our great and humane institution of liberal arts do-ing nothing to celebrate a man which our nation's Congress deem-ed worthy of a day in his name?

Doesn't King deserve it? Don't we all?

Editor Jurries responds to concerned fan To whom it may concern:

Why has their not been a arti-cle written on Dirk Ver Meulen, who is a Senior, made 1st team All-Conference in football this year, MVP of the football team, and the MVP of the entire league for Defense? Blain Newhouse and Dirk both deserve an article. Blaine got his-now how about Dirk? Dirk led the' team in assists, tackles, and sacks also.

A Concerned Person

(Ed. note: all g rammat ica l er-rors found above a re not typos, they appeared as such in the original letter. See related letter for reply.)

Dear Concerned Person:

The Anchor normally doesn't publish an unsigned letter, let alone respond to it, but I felt that this was something I should ad-dress.

There has not been an article about Dirk mainly because no one has submitted one. Blaine had an article written about him by someone other than the Anchor staff , a concerned person who was willing to write an arti-cle about their concern. He had an article written about him not only because he was an All-American and Co-Captain of the football t eam but also and ex-pressly because he was voted

Academic All-Amencan, an ac-complishment worth mentioning for any athlete.

I am not saying the Dirk is a less talented football player than Blain, not that his All-American status is any less impressive than Blain's; he did not receive the Academic Ail-American, however, and therefor did not have an article written about him.

If I wrote an article about every person who received the All-American status, I would be spending much more time that I have writing for the Anchor, especially considering how many Hope sports players receive this honor, and I must admot that I

am not willing to give up the time I've set aside for other things. Any person who desires to write an article about a sports person or team that deserves or needs one may do so. If the Anchor staff feels this article is well-written and is one that the students, staff, and faculty would find helpful of interesting, then this article will be published with pleasure. Ayny extra sports ar-t i c les will be g r e a t l y ap-preciated, as not all people and teams get their due amount of publicity. To submit such an ar-ticle, just drop it by the Anchor office on First floor, DeWitt.

Perhaps I should write about Hope reading habits, for a f ter I read those responses I had to reread my original letter to be sure it was printed correctly. I was accused of being against all styles, all opinion, all long ar-ticles, and all punctuation. I 'm sorry I 'm not the absolute cynic I was made out to be, I 'm only a partial cynic. Allow me to clarify myself:

No one could be against style. Anyone who can write a com-plete sentance has a style in which they will do it. Style in writing is an extension of the writer 's personality, it can be made and shaped like a great sculpture, yet retain those few t rademarks which are unique to that one person. Writing without style would be like food with no taste, a world with no color.

Yet not all pieces of writing are pieces of ar t . The best writing comes when the style of the author matches the subject and the medium. Thomas Jeffer-son's grandiose style makes him. better in government that he would be writ ing chi ldren 's books. Although people at the Anchor may deny it, there are bad styles as there are good styles, depending on the wr i te r ' s aim.

The aim of an editorial is to allow the author to get across an idea, or several interwoven

ideas. Since it is his idea the editorialist wants known, is is usually presented clearly, so the reader can understand just as clearly. Unfortunatly at Hope this often is not the case. Many feel their style itself is more important than anything they are trying to say with it. Articles here do have good ideas, yet they are so often buried deep below a clutter of ir-relevant thoughts, cute com-ments, or rhetorical questions that they are difficult to find and harder still to follow. While amusing and entertaining, the fall short of their goal: inform-ing.

Sometimes an editorial here at Hope does inform. It informs us how the wri ter 's opinion in several sentances which s tar t with the words 'I think... ', 4I feel... ' , 'I believe... ' . Yet, they do not go on to tell us logic behind these beliefs, not give any reason why we should believe the same. Ideas are presented with no basis.

I do not intend to degrade any writer at Hope. They make an extra effort to write for us each week, and that is more than the rest of us are willing to do. Their minds are probably filled with new ideas, relevant information, and fresh perspectives. It is tru-ly a loss that they cannot clealy present them to us.

Emersonians laud support

To the Editor: The men of the Emersonian

Fraterni ty would like to thank all those who attended the Women's Week Dance last Fr iday evening in the Kletz. The dance was a g r e a t s u c c e s s as $75 w a s generously given in support of Women's Week. Unfortunately, this amount does not reflect the total amount received as some selfish person thought their per-sonal f inances more important than the Women's Week cause and stole an unde t e rmined amount of cash. The evening was fur ther mar red by some students destroying some plants and other decorations in the Kletz area . It is unfortunate that even in a Christian community such as Hope College that some members of our student body can not act in a responsible, respect-ful and loving way. It is also un-fortunate that a few student 's selfish and destructive acts will affect us all. But, to end on a positive note--as Bartles and J a y m e s say, 'Thank you for your support! '

Scholarship in memory of Doc Green Alumni and friends of Hope

College have es tab l i shed a scholarship fund in memory of Lawrence J . (Doc) Green , longtime member of the college's faculty and athletic trainer who died in January , 1982.

An effort is underway to fund the memorial scholarship as par t of the Campaign for Hope, a multi-million dollar fund raising campaign. Co-chairpersons of the drive are J im Kaat of Glen Mills, Pa . and J a m e s Vande Poel of Holland. Both are members of

the Hope College class of 1960. Green was a member of the

Hope faculty for 30 years . He was well-known for his work as an athletic trainer and was the col-lege's tennis coach for 22 years.

"As a teacher, advisor, coach a n d t r a i n e r D o c G r e e n ministered to us in manner and method that p robably defy analysis," noted longtime facul-ty colleague Gordon Brewer. 4'His enjoyment of life reached out and captured you."

44This memorial scholarship fund is born of a hope to continue Doc Green's service by enabling others, carefully chosen, to do some of what he did, and we trust in the s a m e m a g n a n i m o u s spirit," said Kaat and Vande Poel.

In addition to the scholarship, some of the funding will be used to support periodic campus seminars by persons of national stature in the fields of sport and physical education.

Amnesty International

seeks new memberships Members of the Holland area

Amnesty International will hold their first meeting of the 1986 on January 16 a t 7:00p.m. at Hope College, in the basement of Dimnet Chapel, room 12.

In an effort to expand its membership, the group is en-couraging intersted persons to attend.

I tems on the agenda include plans for a public vigil to protest mis t rea tment of prisoners of con-science worldwide.

Amnesty International is a

nonpartisan organization that works toward three goals: the release of all prisoners of cons-cience; fair and prompt trials for all political prisoners; the end of torture and the death penalty. Pr isoners of conscience are those detained solely for their religious or political beliefs or ethnic origins who have not used nor ad-vocated violence.

The Holland area group meets monthly. For more information call Rosemary Cekola at Our Lady of the Lake Parish, 399-1062.

as such, because being a writer of any sort is an excerise in self-abuse. We put ourselves before the public and wait for a reply in some intelligent vein, and when one comes along we; for the most part , happily accept it.

However, when a letter such as yours appears on the scene, everyone suffers. The poet in Dykst ra , the story-tel ler in Kollen, the essayist in Phelps, ajl are hurt and none are helped because they find no concrete ex-ample of how they may improve their work. If they a re intelligent and do want help, they might go and seek out a professor or two to comment on their stuff, but often as not they simply hole up and quit writing until people like you go away or until you s tar t telling us who exactly you are attack-ing, why, and how they can either improve themselves or make you improve yourself and your shotgun method of 'curing' Hope of whatever writers you perceive as being bad.

You s ta te that you do not wish to degrade any writer here at Hope. Good. Why don't you ex-tend that wish into something even more beneficial, and lend some of your opinions and pencil leads to one of the publications on campus and help edit or write or whatall. Anything is better than being a faceless form, harping at us out of the veid-

Don't beat us down with an im-personal cudgel. Odds are, we'll listen more attentively and respect you more if you come at us face to face.

January 14, 1 9 8 6 HOPE COLLEGE ANCHOR Entertainment Movies over

break

by David Hugh Carmer

Well, the sequal to the popular film Romancing the Stone is finally out. It picks up on our two heroes sometime af ter the end of their last adventure. They are beginning to grow bored of each other and wander in different directions. So, it wasn' t happily ever af ter .

So, what now? Joan Wilder is a successful writer but she can ' t finish this last book because she's not the same person. Jack Colton is having too much fun to think about anything seriously. Well, Joan gets a chance to do a biography of a mid-east dictator. She thinks this is her big break. Well, J a ck ' s jealous and they get mad, and they split. Then things get interesting as Danny DeVito shows up and wants to kill Jack .

Where do they go from there? Well, you'll have to see the movie. And its a good one, too. I say that with some reservations, though. It lacked some of the power of the first movie. Some of the charm, but that may have been because we already knew the characters . Its hard to say just what the movie lacks, but it does indeed fall just short of the s tandards that the first film set.

All in all, though, it is a good film. Better than most coming out these days. I 'd go and see it again. If you like Micheal Douglas, you'll like this film. If you enjoyed Romancing the Stone, you should enjoy this one as well.

Regarding Clue, I saw one of the endings and heard about another to this movie. It seems that it wouldn't really be worth going to see a different ending as only the last few minutes a re dif-ferent. It is true that all the clues are interpreted differently in each ending, but they are still the same clues and you can reach any number on conclusions from them.

Clue is a funny movie. The casting was excellent. Tim Curry does a great job in his role of the Butler. Eileen Brenner, Martin Mull, and the rest a re all perfect ly matched for their prespective parts. As a comedy each movie stands on its own. They a re funny, and they don't resort to being lewd. But, as mysteries, they leave a lot to be desired.

You can ' t just rewrite the end of a mystery and expect anything that will work. The clues that are given a re obscure. No one can really prove anything f rom them. it all relies on cir-cumstance and wouldn't hold up in court. It is a far cry from Agatha Christie or any of the Pink Pan ther movies.

Clue is not a movie to be taken seriously. If is for all of those peop le who th ink m y s t e r y movies and novels are for eg-

gheads that think like computers. The audience gets a chance to laugh at those type of people when the watch the end of the folm. the writer, I believe, was trying to satire those great mysteries. Instead, what I think he pulled off was some cheap slap-stick insults about mystery fans.

So, as I said, the movie is worth going to see for its humorous side. Mystery ans will be sadly disappointed.

By far the best movie out for the holidays. Young Sherlock Holmes is a delightful take off on the characters created by Sir Ar-thur Conan Doyle. Though Doyle didn't write any of the scenes or ides in this movie, it is worthy of his work and his splendid characters.

The movie hits a high note of excitement right from the start . Things get moving without any warning and before you know it you're all aught up in the mystery surrounding the 'Ac-cidental' deaths of several men living in London. Watson and Holmes meet up and right off you know each character and how he'll act. Not to say that either is stereotypical, but because they are so wonderfully brought to life.

One good thing about this movie is that it introduces many new faces. This prevents yu from having any pre-coceived ideas about nay ony character . The unique personalities are ex-'cellently done.

This movie should follow right behind Rocky IV for money mak-ing this season. The only reason for that is that it has a large following already, and because everyone knows what to expect from it. Young Sherlock Holmes is deceptive. People won't really be aware of how good a movie it is and won't go to see it unless so-meone reccommends it to them. Which is too bad. many people will miss a really wonderful acheivement in motion pictures.

DePree Gallery presents

Peruvian art

The DePress Center Gallery will present a collection of Shipibo art, ceramic ware from a Peruvian tribe, beginning Friday jan. 17.

The SHipibo people inhabit the eastern slope of the Peruvian Andes and tropical rain forests of the Upper Amazon River. A matrilineal society, the produc-tion and design of the ceramic vessels are exclusively in the hands of the Shipibo women.

Shipibo ar t is considered by many artists, collectors, and an-thropologists as some of the highest quality in primitive ar t . The vessels a re built from coils of clay laid on top of each other and scraped with crude in-struments into their desired traditional shapes. They are us-ed as carrying vessels and for fermenting the local beers.

A gallery talk will be given on Friday, Jan. 31 at 7:30 p.m. by Dr. Paul Provost. Dr. Provost has been studying the SHipibo people for his book on the moral structures of primitive people.

The exhibit is a personal col-lection of Hope senior Tome Boerigter. It will run until Feb. 10. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Monday through Satur-day and 1 to 9 p.m. on Sundays.

School and community groups wishing to have a guided gallery presentation may schedule them by calling the DePree Art Center Office, 392-5111, ext. 3170.

While on vacation, a friend asked me that if I had the op-portunity to place something in a t ime capsule that would be open-ed after a thousand or so years by our descendents so that they could see what we had lived like and what our society was about, what would I place there?

I thought about if for a mo-ment. "This is to show what our society is like, and has nothing to do with me at a l l?"

"That ' s r ight ." I thought again. "American or

world wide?" He thought about it. He

answered "American" , probably on the bais of the fact that we're the good guys and will get through whatever evil may even-tually befall the earth.

I smiled because his thinking had given me time to get an answer. "Shrink wrap , " I replied, and walked away.

Shrink wrap? Why shrink wrap? How on earth can shrink wrap be representative of our society today?

There ' re a few. First of all, the

Straight Ahead by Kirk Kraetzer

Shrink Wrap 2000 stuff is ub iqu i t ious . I t is everywhere you look. Every t ime you turn around, you're con-fronted with some other shrink wrapped item. Watching my 20 month old nephew war against filmy a rmor plates on every box he succeeded in freeing f rom its coat of Christmas paper was enough to convince me of that. Everything from toy ca r s to in-flatable toys that squeak when you sit on 'em. There were a few things that weren' t encased, but those had already been opened in order to either insert the not in-cluded batteries or to see if the gizmo worked before young Jeff got a chance to break it.

Walk into a record store and behold a plethora of shrink wrap-ped goodies. Every album, every

tape no mat te r whether it is pre-recorded or blank, some of the sales clerks seem to be enscons-ed in it because they cannot shake it from their fingers af ter they've stripped it off a new album so they can play it on the store 's sound sysytem.

That quality, the monsterous charge of static the stuff carries, is representative of the way we live. It adheres to your body like a lamprey to a lake trout. Shake your fingers to get it off, and it merely shifts position to your forearm. Pick it off with the other hand, and the problem s tar ts anew. If you do get it dislodged, it is literally sucked towards your body, and if you get your torso out of the way, it'll catch eithert your leg or failing

Shrink wrap is the stick-tight and cockleburr of the mechaniz-ed world. How's that stuff reflect our lifestyle? Girls, ever try to shake a guy that just won't take no for an answer? Guys, ever have a little brother that just would not leave you and your ladyfriend alone and eventually prevailed upon mom and dad to make you let him come to the movies with ya? Profs, ever had a student that kept coming back and asking for that teensy little extra bit of t ime to finish a paper with? And then there ' s that little bugaboo of the sexual revolution called herpes. Try shaking that small inconvenience.

Cars with problems in the wir-ing, persistant salesmen, the guy riding an inch off your rea r bumper in 70 mile and hour rush hour t raff ic; they ' re all symp-toms of the s ame problem,which is you just cannot get away from it. What's it? In this case, shrink wrap.

You can even buy it in stores, now. Couple dozen square feet for three, maybe four bucks, add a little heat f rom your handy dandy hair dryer, and there you are: home made shrink wrap sandwiches for the kids to take to school. Fun stuff, that home shrink wrapping schtick. Great for practical jokes. Shrink wrap someone's underwear supply the day of the big interview and watch the show. Seal someone's notes together with about ten layers of the stuff the night before the final. You could, I sup-pose. even shrink wrap someone

inside their room if the spirit so moved you. Be interesting to try, anyway.

There are even companies on the New York Stock Exchange that make and sell only shrink wrapping equipment. Anyone asks me for a hot stock pick, I say "Shrink Wrappers" and leave it at that . Provided that the market isn't glutted with the machines to do the job, whatever company that makes 'em should be worth the Denver Mint in a few years .

So you see, the stuff is everywhere. Some even say that the President of the United States has been shrink wrapped and that ' s all tha t ' s holding him t o g e t h e r a n y m o r e . I t ' s in-escapable. Ei ther you're looking at it on some product you wanna buy, or you're trying to get it off your clothes, but it 's there.

I can just see it: one thou-sand years f rom now, a man from a society that has settled every planet in the system, made t rade agreements with beings in the Centauri System, and check-ed out the Galactic core will be out fixing a wiring problem in his ship when he gets a small tear in his pressure suit. He notices it, pulls a small, clear sheet of something out of a pocket, and a minature hair dryer out of another, and just shrink wraps that sucker back into working order fas ter 'n Dave Carmer to a pan of pizza rolls. Truly, an ad-vancement beyond worth: por-table shrink wrap, available at your local Revco store for just $11.99 (batteries not included).

Upstage Left Designing Light

F l u i d , i n t a n g i b l e , s u b -tle—light—the medium a lighting designer must use... the only medium a lighting designer can use.

Okay, so they use light. But what does that mean? How do they use light? And why? What does a lighting designer do?

Designing light, by definition, a l so m e a n s d e s i g n i n g t h e absence of light, designing the shadows. According to Michael Grindstaff, lighting designer for the Hope College Theatre, the design capacit ies of lighting are one of the last to be recognized as a separate design area . "What is considered s tandard equipment today," Grandstaff explained, "didn't even exist when I was in graduate school (1968)."

Grandstaff went on to explain that sound design is currently go-ing through the same me tamor

characters on stage and how they look."

Grindstaff designs backwards. He begins at the bottom of the show and asks himself a series of questions. "What should the au-dience feel? What should they be thinking as the houselights come up and they begin to leave the theatre? What do I want them to remember? What is seen last is really important ; the mind 's eye remembers the last thing it sees."

Other questions Michael asks himself as he works his way back through the show concern the mood and visability necessary for the production. "Humans have a subconscious reaction to light. I t ' s a designer 's respon-sibility to take advantage of their subconscious feelings. Sight has a large impact on the other senses...we subconsciously think

Dutchmen tame Cougars

On Saturday, December 11, Hope's Hoopsters squared off against the Kalamazoo Valley C o u g a r s a n d t h e A d r i a n Bulldogs.

In the first game of the after-noon, the Jayvee Dutchmen bat-tled the Cougars in hopes of winn-ing their first game of the 1985-86 season. Forward Rob Olson led the first half scoring with seven points. He finished the night with eleven points, good enough for Hope's third highest scorer. Scoring higher than him were Dan Olson, with 16, and Jack Holman, with 13.

For the Cougars, Andre Bolden and Ed Finch led all scorers with 18 each.

In the second half, the Cougars jumped out to a nine point lead, but the Dutchmen battled back. Jack Holman tied the score at 84 as time ran out.

In the overtime period Hope controlled the boards, caused key turnovers and did everything they had to do to win. As a result, they pulled out an exciting 100-98 victory.

Then, before a near-capacity crowd, the senior team hosted the Adrian Bulldogs. It was the

by Ben Hanneman

86th meeting between the two in-terconference powers and Hope has won 68.

"The key to this game was that it was the s tar t of league play at home," said Coach Van Wieren. "We had to come out strong." They did come out very strong. Before Adrian realized it, they were staring into the face of a 12 point deficit.

Another key was to "shut down Bob Mang and Dan Hubbard." They weren' t very successful at that, but it didn ' t m a t t e r . Although Mang had 20 points, and although Hubbard had 18, Hope generated enough offense in the second half to pull out an impressive victory.

Defense was also a key to the victory. The home court heroes p l a y e d a w e s o m e d e f e n s e , holding the Bulldogs scoreless for the first five minutes of the game. Key steals by the guards and blocked shots by Todd Marsman also helped the Dut-chmen cause immensely.

Hope fans had much to cheer about right from the beginning. In addition to the twelve point spread to open the game, an

alley-oop to Todd Marsman for a dunk in the first half brought down the house. The first half score read 35-34 in favor of Hope.

In the second half the Bulldogs came roaring back to take the lead. When asked if the com-eback was due to the youth of the team. Coach Van Wieren said that " the same thing happened last yea r " when his team was loaded with seniors. "We just lost our intensity and got compla-cent."

Later that half they regained that intensity and took the lead for good. The final score was a 68-59 victory.

The varsity record now stands at seven wins and five losses overall. In MIAA action the Dut-chmen hold on to first place with an impressive 2-0 record.

"It was the biggest victory of the yea r , " commented Coach Van Wieren. "Our next game (against Aquinas) will also be the biggest of the year . They're all important from here on out." Hope is looking to win their sixth consecutive MIAA crown. Their next home court action, against Aquinas, will be Wednesday at 8 p.m.

Dutch open MIAA season 2-0

The Flying Dutch beat Olivet 83 to 54 at home to open their MIAA League play. A total team effort was evident as Hope dominated Olivet in the second half executing a strong full court press and playing sound defence. Top scorers for the Dutch were

Paula Recknagel, 21; DeeAnn Knoll, 20; and Karen Hoekstra, 16, while Olivets top scores was Pearson with 16 points.

Hope then travelled to Adrian Saturday the 11th to play the Bulldogs, where they have found it hard in the past to come back with a win, three years running, but this year changed that with a

by Annette Van Engen

win over Adrian, 82-70. A close game witha score of 38-37, Hope was trailing by one. Hope came out at half t ime and agressive ful c o u r t p r e s s s t u n n i n g t h e Bulldogs, causing them to turn the ball over three consecutive times, the Dutch continued to play well together making hard-practiced plays work when need-ed, as well as hitting many need-ed free-throws. A game total of 20 for 29 at 69 percent, Karen Hoekstra made 7 out of 10 shots, leading the team with 25 points. DeeAnn Knoll ended up with 18 points, and eight rebounds while

Sue Burkima added 17 points and four assists. Outside threats with points were Amy Wariner with seven and Beth Beachum with five, who also had six assists. Recknagel added eight points and four rebounds n the victory over Adrian. The Dutch record is now 2-0 in MIAA with an overall record of 9-2, a big turn-around from last year.

The Flying Dutch a re on the road their next two games, play-ing Trinity Christian on Wednes-day and a tough Kalamazoo team on Friday. The next home game is Tuesday, Jan . 21 against Al-bion at 6 at the Dow.

Unlike most normal students who go home for a relaxing three weeks during Christmas Break, those on sports teams at Hope College stick around to pract ice and play for about two-thirds of the break.

The Women's Basketball team practiced twice a da for about a week before a home tournament on january 3 and 4 with Hope, Trinity, Muskegon Community, and Wheaton. On Friday night Muskegon and Wheaton played an i n t e r e s t i n g g a m e wi th Muskegon getting a suprising victory over Wheaton to go on and play in the Championship game on Saturday with Hope who beat Trinity by a wide margin. In the consolation game on Satur-

day afternoon, Wheaton beat Trinity playing a much better game than on Friday. Then in another suprising upset, Hope lost to Muskegon in a hard-played game. Another major event for the team was the mar-riage of senior captain Karen Gingras to Dick Hoekstra.

The Men's and Women's Swim teams did not have any meets this break, they did however practice twice a day with only a few days off, swimming as many as five hours a day. This team practiced the most and hardest over break to be ready for their busy season ahead." '

The Men's Basketball team was busiest over break with two

invitationals to go to. The first one in Ohio, the men managed to win the consolation game, taking a 1-1 status with them to Califor-nia where they had another in-vitational at the end of the week. While in California, the team stayed in the houses of Reformed Church members while practic-ing in a local high school. On their f ree time the t eam went to Disney World, the Rose Bowl parade. The Crystal Cathedral, body surfing, a L.A. Clipper and Boston Celtics game, a UCLA-Oregon State game along with touring UCLA's campus and Hollywood. In their tournament, the men won the consolation game once again to have a 2-2 record for the Chris tmas season.
