Campus Brief

Pianist Ann Schein to perform in free concert Wednesday night for the Holland area public

CampLis Beat

In her 40-year professional ca-

reer. pianist Ann Schein has per-

formed with such orchestras as The New York Philharmonic, the Cleve-

land Orches t ra and theNat ional

Symphony, and has played in 60

countries around the world. She will be adding Hope as she

Chapel on Wednesday. Feb. 20, at

8 p.m. The public is invited. Admission

is free. A f o r m e r s t u d e n t of A r t h u r

Rubinstein and Dame Myra Hess.

Schein is one of the few pianists

alive today who has performed the comple te major piano pieces of

Chopin in concert. She did it six nights in a row to

sold-out crowds at Lincoln Center's

and flexibility. The health benefits for yoga in-

clude stress relief, better flexibil-

ity, relief from carpal tunnel syn-

drome, lower blood pressure, and

much more. When Shutes got involved with

yoga, it was just a pastime. Now, she says, anytime you walk into a

store, you see a yoga video.

She was looking for a new way

and vocalists like Fred Sherry. Paul

Sperry. James Durnham and Jessye

Norman, with whom she recorded

an album. Schein's latest release, a record-

ing of S c h u m a n n ' s "Davidsbundlertanze, Arabesque,

and Humoreske" was hailed as "Fault-less...touching and unforget-

table," and was rated as an Out-

standing Recording by "American

Record Guide." Her first recordings, at the age of

19. established her as a premiere

pianist in 1959, and were the start

of a stellar career that is not slow-

ing down. "A rare pianist," the "London

Times" has said, mirroring com-

ments made about her throughout

her career. Schein currently sits on the pi-

ano faculty of the Peabody Conser-

to exercise, and at the time, aero-

bics just wasn' t cutting it. She saw a yoga video in a store

and decided to try it and loved it. She found it to be a good stress

release after a hard week, and that

it was extremely beneficial for flex-

ibility and strength. She loves the fact that you can

tailor each routine to the individual,

no matter the shape or size of the

vatory of Music. She also serves on the faculty of

the prestigious Aspen Music Festi-

val and is a sought-after adjudica-

tor in major international music

competitions. Her visit to Hope College will

also allow her to spend time with p i an i s t and f o r m e r s t u d e n t

Mansoon Han, who was named to the Hope faculty this year.

In addition to her concert on Feb.

20, Schein will hold a master class

on Thursday, Feb. 21, from 11 a.m.

to 1 p.m. in Snow Auditorium of

Nykerk Hall of Music. The master class is also open to the public.

It's about getting in touch with your own body, knowing what you can

cisions about where to live. "We [Hope) realized that stu-

dents at Hope aren't aware of the

living options they have on cam-

pus. This (eventl is for apartments only, but in the spring we will have

one for residence halls." Marcelis

said. Marcelis went on to explain that

the granting of an apartment posi-

tion is assigned in a credit- based order, with students who have the

most credits have a better chance

to get the room they want. Some of the apartments that are

available on the residential hous-

ing tour are Brownstone. Kraker,

College East, and Venema. These

Stein will hopefully be available

for other events before or after his

speech.

various apartments can hold any-

where from four to six people, but students who want to live in the

apartments have to apply as a group

into a pool. Marcelis also warns students that

there are safety issues to take into

account as well. "Hope students probably aren't

as informed as well as they should

be, and students at Hope get lulled into a sense of security, and they need to take responsibility for that

themselves." Marcelis said. Any students interested in the

tour can call Marcelis at 6930 and

pick up a map for the tour during

d i n n e r t i m e in both Phe lps and

The Hope of the Future? Matt Cook EOTTOR IN C H I E F

Editor's Note: When it was announced in January that the college was ready to start work on the

addition to Peale Science Center, many members of the campus community reacted with

confusion about what was to happen to building projects in their department.

To help clear some of this up, I sat down with James Bultman, Hope College presi-

dent, and discussed Hope's plans for new facilities. Here is the breakdown, building by

building.

Peale Science Center; At their January meeting, the Board of Trustees gave the go ahead to build an addition

to Peale (#1 on the map). According to Bultman. the total cost is about $26 million (about 2/3 of which is already raised), and work will most likely begin over Spring

Break. The project is projected to be finished in the fall of 2003. At that lime, work will begin

on a renovation of the current Peale building. Students and faculty will move into the

addition during work, and by fall 2004 the whole thing will be open. According to Bultman, the science building project is the first priority because the

infrastructure in Peale is getting progressively weaker. "It has a life, the architects thing, of three to five years," Bultman said. "That was a

year ago, so we think we ' r e pressing it ."

|V!artha Miller Center; This building, at a pricetag of around $7 million (also 2/3 raised), will house the

departments of communications and modem and classical languages. Preferably, Bultman would like to purchase the former Lincoln Elementary School site (#2), and build the

Miller Center there. Hope is currently in talks with the Holland school district about

making the deal. If the Lincoln deal goes through, Hope will build on the current site of the Human

Resources building and the DePree parking lot (#3).

" I ' m relatively confident that we will start construction on the Martha Miller Center

regardless of location a year from right now, and that building would likely take about a year to build." Bultman said. "So we think that would be ready to go in the spring or

summer of 2004." Originally, the dance department was slated to move into the Martha Miller Center,

but plans have since changed. •The Millers are fine with it not having dance," Bultman said. "They ' re giving to a

building named after their mother and they want dance to be taken care of."

Delphis deal with sanctions Erica Heeg I N F O C U S E D I T O R

The Delia Phi Sorority members have had lo sland by and watch as Rush and New Member Education 2002 take place.

Last year the Greek Judicial Board placed sanctions on the

sorority for deviating from New Member Education. The sorority appealed, and the sanctions were modified, but the

Delphis still were prohibited from participating in Rush 2002,

resulting in the loss of a new member class. Delphi President Shannon King ( '02) expressed the diffi-

culty in not partaking in the annual process. "It 's rough to see it all. It 's disappointing. The girls that

live in Kollen were in tears on bid night," King said. "Over

twenty girls are graduating this year. The loss of new mem-bers will probably be noticable for a few years."

According to the philosophy of the Greek Judicial Board.

"The sanctions that follow a group being found in violation

are not intended to punish, but to educate. This allows the

involved student an opportunity to understand the conse-quences of their behavior, foster respect for the rights of oth-

ers, and encourages self-discipline." Despite it all, the Delphis are supportive of their fellow

sorronties. "We support everyone else. We still say, "Hey! Go rush."

said King. She doesn't believe that other sororities are necessarily

benefiting from the Delphis sanctions. "I don't think that its beneficial for Greeks. We're a com-

munity and without one group, it 's a hole," King said.

King doesn't know of any students that are wailing lo rush

Delphi next year. "I would hope that students are going to do what 's best

for them and not hold out for something that they might not know anything about," said King." I think that there are prob-

ably a lot of girls that go out there and rush and don't know

which way they are going, and some of them go our way,

and some go the other way." The Delphis have used this lime as an opportunity lo fo-

cus on group strengthening. "We are taking it as a building year, and lhat 's what we

have been working on all year. We had a retreat this week-

end. We are focusing on us, our s t rengths- what we have,"

King said. Amber Garrison, Greek Life Coordinator, was unavail-

able for comment.

Infocus editor

Don't tell You hear (hose horrible ru-

mors: how the Praters have to kick a dog lo death, the Sibs

have to bake naked, the Sig-

mas can't talk to boys or wear

make-up, one group circles the imperfections on girls' bod-

ies, another demands that a

special notebook be turned in to the h o u s e each t i m e a

pledgee goes off-campus or to health dy, and another picks up

their pledgees in army garb

and sunglasses at midnight. I wanted to know if the

myths about t 4New Member

Educa t i on" were true, so I asked people that would know.

They w o u l d n ' t say a peep

though. My last resort was to

page through some musty and dusty Anchor volumes to see if I could find anything juicy

( l ike the s t o r i e s my h igh school English teacher used to

tell abou t hav ing to ca r ry around the actives books and eating soup containing excre-

ment), but there was nothing. What I did find was almost

just as interesting. The rules for pledging and rush ing- I 've

included some of the really in-

teresting ones on this week's

page—have really changed over

the decades. For instance, in 1931 the

members of Hope 's girl 's soci-e t i e s w e r e s i m p l y w a r n e d

against monopo l i z ing g i r l ' s

time and told that "every girl

shall be on her honor to observe

the rules." By 1946, the list of rules had

become twice as long, and by

1981 even longer, forbidding specific activities like paddling.

N o w the Interfra terni ty and

Panhel lenic counci ls have a "New Member Bill of Rights"

and 36 deta i led regula t ions

against hazing like "not allow-

ing n e w m e m b e r s to wear proper clothing dependent on

weather conditions and "the use

of blindfolds that are not ap-proved by the Greek Life Ad-

visor." Wow! Its no wonder Hope's

Greek Organizations are al-ways getting in trouble. There's

not a whole lot they can do. As for those pledging ru-

mors: I suppose that until I par-

ticipate in "New Member Edu-cation" myself. I won't know

the secrets-which is probably

the way it is supposed to be.

Opin ion ^ A n c h o r February 20,2002

Editor's vo ice

This week I 'm going to respond to letters to the editor:

Let hockey team play on Sunday According to the letter on page 5, if the hockey team gets into the

championship game at their national championship tournament in

two weeks, Hope College will not allow them to play because the

game is on a Sunday. The Anchor is planning on covering this

issue next week. I understand that there is something to be said for upholding tra-

dition. but this is taking it a little too far. The hockey team has a

chance to play in the biggest game of the players ' lives and the

college wants to deny them that for the sake of a rule that almost no

one fol lows anyway.

Are we not supposed to do anything on Sunday ever? Would it be

all right if I don ' t hand in my homework on Monday because I

wanted to obey the Sabbath? Should I cancel the Sunday Anchor

meetings? Playing hockey on the Sabbath may be a sin, but if the players

are willing to take that risk, let them sin. They ' r e not little kids. The

19th century has been over for 102 years now, but some people at

Hope College don ' t seem to realize that.

SAC doesn't have to watch out for us In their letter to the editor, the directors of SAC said they check

every movie they show for "nudity, violence, language, alcohol,

and drug u s e / ' I agree with Kenny Hackman. who says in his letter

(pg. 5), " H o p e should broaden our horizons, not censor everything

to the point where the entertainment on campus only caters to a

select few." T h e only factor SAC should be watching out for in movies is

artistic value. Why are they showing movies like "The Princess

Diaries" and "Harry Poller" to a group of 20 year old college stu-

dents? There are plenty of movies out there that are challenging

and provocative that we don ' t get to see at the Holland 7, and it

would be great if S A C made an effort to gel those movies.

I 'm thankful for 'Tra in ing Day," and I 'm looking forward to "The

Royal Tannenbaums," but, in addition to those movies, there are

plenty of other movies that I 'm dying to see. I guess I'll have to

wait for the videos.

//;r A n c h o r 2001 fall semester, Issue #18 of 25

Prof disagrees with withholding money from Hope

To the Editor:

I am writing in response to last

issue 's letter urging everyone that

"disagreed with any of Hope 's poli-

cies- regardless of what they are-

to refuse to donate to the college."

I would like to urge the letter writer

and Anchor readers to think a bit

harder about this advice.

Recently 1 was reading archival

material that included letters f rom

past Hope presidents. One letter that

made me proud was a response to a

past donor who was threatening to

withhold future contributions un-

less Hope changed its tune and did

things the donor ' s way. T h e presi-

dent responded by saying that the

donor would have to do what he

thought best with his money but that

the president himself fell compelled

to continue to donate to many or-

ganizations with which he was not

in 100% agreement . T h o u g h t f u l

people who know a lot about the

organizations to which they give

will be unlikely to be in full agree-

ment with every policy of any or-

ganization. What an easy excuse to

keep all your money for yourself!

If what was under discuss was a

political lobby or a signal cause or-

ganization, looking for 100 percent

agreement or 90 percent or 80 per-

cent would make some sense, but

only on def ining issues. I do not

personally give to the National Rifle

Association; I do give to Crop Walk

(and continue to do so even though

I do not like their lapel pins). Col-

leges are not one- issue organiza-

tions. What would an educational

institution be like that was actually

wil l ing to be threatened into re-

thinking its policies every time a

donor wrote a complaining letter?

It would be wholly lacking in in-

tegrity (as, by the way. it would be

if the degree of consideration it gave

to a complaint depended on how

large the d o n o r ' s potent ial gif ts

were).

So, I have an alternative to the

"if you d i s ag ree with any th ing ,

don ' t g ive" policy. If you value the

education you have received (in-

cluding the ability that it has given

you to think critically about what

the institution does), then give; if

you d o n ' t value your educa t ion ,

then do not give. Whether you give

or not. please still do express your

opinion as s tudents or alumni or

faculty or staff of Hope College.

G i v e c o m p e l l i n g a r g u m e n t s for

your views. But don ' t try to bully

Hope into conformity with every

one of your opinions. Value your

own integrity and Hope College 's

integrity more than that.

Carol Simon

Philosophy Department

Math professor supports letter about shuttle van

To the Editor:

This letter is in response to An-

drea Wellman's letter in which she

asked Hope students not to use the

phrase, " rape van ." (Opinion. 2/6)

M y q u e s t i o n , an old o n e , is:

What ' s in a word ? In the years that

I have been at Hope College, sev-

eral terms involving student l ife

have been changed. "Head Resi-

dent" became "Resident Director".

"May D a y " became "Spring Fling"

and "dormi tory" became "resident

ha l l . " I chuck l ed at each of the

changes.

Who cares (or even knows) what

the origin of the term "May Day"

is? Does "dormitory" really connote

sleep? Does "resident hall" bring to

mind images of socializing and in-

teract ion? I doubt it. These new

terms, to use a phrase, are a distinc-

tion without a difference. Any self-

respecting rebel can enjoy using the

old terms with a certain relish. Do-

ing so provides a convenient and

benign way to assert one 's individu-

alism. Not so with the term "rape van."

The word " rape" does, or at least

should, invoke a powerful image.

It should carry with it visions of bru-

tality, of terror, of deep and lasting

wounds. It is like the word "Holo-

caust" , which the Jews carefu l ly

guard for good reason. They don ' t

guard it to deny it or to avoid think-

ing about it. but so that it can be

thought about properly.

Obviously that is the same inten-

tion behind the third c o m m a n d -

ment. Jehovah does not want His

name used loosely- that is. in vain.

Quite frankly, it takes a wise per-

son to understand the power of lan-

g u a g e . A s k i d s w e all r e c i t e d ,

"Sticks and stones may break my

bones, but words can never harm

me." Unfortunately, any child who

f inds her/himself in a position of

saying it. knows that it isn't true.

The words which I say can wound

others deeply, and they can hurt me

by making me callous to the reality

behind the word. So, thank you

Andrea for showing all of us the

power of a word.

Students invest much money and

time for a l ife-changing education

at H o p e Col lege . Though t fu l re-

minders such as yours gives every-

one the opportunity to leave Hope

College a better person.

SAC explains process for choosing movies

To the Editor,

It has recently been brought to

our attention that the campus com-

munity may not be aware of the pro-

cess used by the Social Activities

Commit tee to select S A C movies.

We are merely writing to state the

gu ide l ines which are appl ied to

movie selection to further educate

the student population.

Each year we receive two pre-

view videos, one in the summer and

the other during the fall semester,

f rom our supplier. Swank Motion

Pictures, Inc. This preview video

contains about 20-30 trailers of the

soon to be released movies.

During the summer months the

Social Act ivi t ies C o m m i t t e e and

students living on campus view this

tape and vote on the top choices to

bring for the fall semester. During

our selection for the spring semes-

ter movies, we advertise the view-

ing of this preview video where stu-

dents can watch the trailers, vote on

their top choices, and receive a dis-

counted cof fee at our cof fee bar,

"Cool Beans." We then tabulate the

top movie choices, voted on by the

student body, and converse with a

representa t ive of Swank Mot ion

Pictures to finalize what movies are

available and suitable for the Hope

Col lege audience. We have been

working with the same representa-

tive for a number of years, and she

is aware of Hope College 's mission

and thus advises us in movie selec-

tion. We discuss the ratings of the

movies and evaluate the content in

regards to nudity, violence, lan-

guage, alcohol, and drug use. Af te r

d i scuss ion with her, w e m a k e a

schedule of showings, in relation to

the release dates, and we notify the

campus. In the past the Social Activities

C o m m i t t e e has been ques t ioned

about the movies we have shown

on campus. We exert great energy

into selecting suitable movies and

we attempt to bring quality enter-

tainment to the campus. However,

there have been several instances

when we have had to rely on the

opinion of the company and stu-

dents because we, as a committee,

have not had the oppor tun i ty to

view movies prior to scheduling.

Often times, our movie selection

and scheduling is due before all of

the movies are out in the theater.

Therefore, it is impossible to regu-

late and preview every movie be-

fore bringing it to the campus.

We appreciate student feedback

and encourage the campus commu-

nity to c o n t a c us with questions or

concerns. It is our responsibility to

represent you, the campus , when

making our decisions concerning

en t e r t a inmen t , however , w e can

only make representative choices

when you communica te with our

committee. S A C can be reached at

o u r o f f i c e o r by e - m a i l at

[email protected]. If you would

like to participate in the planning

of the social activities on campus,

we strongly encourage you to visit

our website and check out an online

member application!

We hope this edi torial fur ther

helps the campus understand how

movies are selected and the process

used by the Social Activities Com-

mittee when selecting movies for

the semester. Any further questions

may be directed to us, the directors,

at the SAC off ice in DeWitt, exten-

sion x7882.

Student thanks SAC for poet, but not for disclaimer To the Editor:

I applaud SAC for inviting Slam Poet Kirk Nugent to Hope because

he was different than the usual co-median. He wasn ' t t rying to be

funny. Instead, he was being his honest, open self, and many people

responded to this openness very

well, prompting him to keep going even after he had finished his act.

What was disappointing, however, was that SAC had to put a dis-

claimer on his act because it might have been offensive to some people.

Because of this, Mr. Nugent felt uncomfortable during his act be-

cause he had to keep censoring ev-erything he said, which took away

f rom the ove ra l l qua l i ty . S A C

should not have to do this every time they show a movie or get an

Letter to the editor infuriates student To the Editor;

1 am i n f u r i a t e d by A n d r e w Kleczek's letter to the editor last

issue. Writing letters disagreeing

with Hope ' s policy s lows down

progress. The administration can never make progressive decisions

because they must constantly sort

through letters from whining indi-

viduals like Andrew who detest new

and different ideas. Therefore , I am writing to en-

courage everyone who disagrees

with any of Hope's policies to keep your damn mouth shut. Since the

admin i s t r a t i on cares so deep ly

about its students' opinions, writ-

ing letters that criticize the admin-istration only slows down the road

to progress. Andrew does not want people to

donate money to Hope because he

is jealous of the administrat ion's

wealth. He writes letters to the An-

Hockey team should be allowed to play on Sunday

To the Editor: Once again the constipated logic

of the Hope College administration

wi thholds f rom one of its o w n

sports teams the right to compete on Sunday . T h e H o p e C o l l e g e

hockey team in two weeks is trav-

eling to Atlanta to compete in a tournament that Hope College will

not allow them to win. The cham-

pionship game is scheduled to be played on a Sunday, and the admin-

istration after psuedo-discussion will not allow Hope hockey to play.

So our hockey team, in the midst

of its best season in the college's history has been stripped of the

chance to win the national title be-cause of some antiquated logic.

Call me melodramatic, but 1 find

very striking similarities between the practices of the Pharisees of

New Testament and our own ad-

ministration, specifically recalling the way the Pharisees obeyed the

letter of the law while disregarding the Spirit of the law. It seems the

administration has made up the law,

as I cannot find it in writing any-where. And if the administration i"

holding to some shadow of the Old Testament idea of the Sabbath, in-

consistencies abound. A few cases come to mind. The

library, Phelps dining hall, and the

Kletz all employ students on Sun-day. Residential Life holds monthly

meetings which R.A.s are required

to attend on Sundays , and SAC shows weekly movies on Sundays.

Isn't graduation on a Sunday and moving out day for seniors? And

don ' t residence halls open for re-

turning students on Sunday, in Au-gust and in January? The music

For s tudents w h o f ind the " s ame old , same

fect chance to exper ience cul ture shock .

True , C h i c a g o probably w o n ' t be a huge

shock, but the impover ished , undeve loped

countrys ides of Hait i . Gua tema la or Hondu-

ras might be.

Steve Kraseman ( ' 99 ) is par t ic ipat ing in

one of many International Serv ice Immer-

sion Programs the school is sponsor ing in

May and June. He was very involved at Hope,

and he volunteered at the Hol land C o m m u -

nity Hospital .

"I knew I wanted to part icipate in the pro-

gram the first l ime I heard about it at the be-

g inn ing of the school year ." Kraseman said.

"I realize I ' ve been blessed with educat ional

oppor tuni ty in the U.S., and that service to

others is an integral part of such a bless ing."

BUILDING from 2

T h e groups f r o m Loyola Univers i ty Chi-

bers and six other students, includ-

ing fe l low H o p e grad Jen Schwieger

COl) . "Based on my past exper iences

on similar trips, this w a s a perfect

oppor tuni ty to combine medic ine

and service, and to b e c o m e

acqua in ted with an entirely

new cul ture in Gua t ema la , "

Schwieger said.

A c c o r d i n g to K r a s e m a n ,

the program began after some

of Loyo la ' s Jesuit clergy saw

the need for bas ic medica l

care in the poor areas the pro-

gram serves.

" T h e intention is to learn about interna-

t iona l hea l th ca r e , l earn f r o m and s e r v e

people in financially impoverished areas, and

return with exper iences that will benefi t out

l i f e long prac t ice of med ic ine , " K r a s e m a n

said.

S tuden ts par t ic ipat ing in the immers ion

projects will have a chance to exper ience a

drast ical ly d i f ferent l ifestyle in

C e n t r a l a n d S o u t h A m e r i c a n

countries whose standards of liv-

ing are much lower. Accord ing

to a Loyola Univers i ty article.

Sr. B renda Eagan , chap la in for

Univers i ty Minis t ry coordinates the

trips.

"Of all the places we go, Haiti is the most

dest i tute p lace to exper ience life and death.

It is o f t en hard for s tudents to talk about the

p r o f o u n d i n d i g n i t y t h e y w i t n e s s t h e r e . "

Eagan was quoted .

Schwieger has had s o m e past exper ience

with similar si tuations.

"[ 11 have a lways had a passion for serv-

ing, and have been to Haiti twice for medi-

cal miss ion trips through m y home church . "

Schwiege r said.

T h e s tudents in Gua tema la will treat pa-

tients at a cl inic with the accompany ing staff

member .

"I think this tr ip can show H o p e students

that opportunit ies for volunteer/mission work

throughout the wor ld are abundant and can

be incorporated into many d i f fe ren t career

fields," Schwiege r said. " H o p e does an out-

s tanding j o b of provid ing s tudents with so

m a n y ways to get involved both locally in

the Hol land communi ty as well as nation-

Abou t 70 s tudents and 20 hospital s taff

siderable .

d ina t ing a silent and live auc-

" M o s t s tudents leave Hope

Afte r confe r r ing with the dance

facul ty, Bu l tman and the co l l ege

dec ided dance would be taken care

of by expanding their current facili-

ties in the Dow Center , instead of

mov ing to a new building.

Dow R e n o v a t i o n :

" W i t h the D e V o s F i e l d h o u s e

project , w e think that there will be

space for dance [in the D o w ] and

they lake over basically the whole

second floor of the Dow Center , "

Bul tman said.

As reported in last w e e k ' s An-

chor. ihe plan for the D o w (#4) is

to split two raquetbal l cour ts mio

two levels, and putting in a we igh t

room and aerobic studio, f reeing up

ihe current weight room and wres-

t l ing r o o m to be r e n o v a t e d into

dance studios with dance floors and

mirrors.

W h e n the DeVos F ie ldhouse is

f i n i s h e d , it will i nc lude a large

we igh t room for all s tudents to use.

Bul tman feels that the use of the

raquetball courts has gone d o w n in

the past f ew years , and s tuden t s

w o n ' t miss the old courts .

If the Board of Trustees gives the

final approval for this project, work

will take p lace over the summer .

DeVos F i e l d h o u s e :

"The funding on the fieldhouse

is c o m i n g a l o n g q u i t e w e l l . "

Bul tman said. "We have a couple

of large gifts yet to secure, but I 'd

s a y w e h a v e a b o u t 3 / 4 of t h e

money . "

T h e Fie ldhouse, which will pri-

mari ly be an athlet ic facil i ty for

spor ts t e a m s and will a l so have

some facilit ies for other s tudents ,

will probably be built in the block

surrounded by Fairbanks Ave., 11 th

St. and Lincoln Ave. (#5) .

" W e have purchased the foundry,

w e cou ld bui ld it on the foundry

site, but our p re fe rence would be

to build it a little bit c loser to cam-

pus by acquir ing also the Street De-

par tment si te ," Bu l tman said.

B u l t m a n h o p e s to have an en-

trance on the Lincoln side for stu-

d e n t s a n d an e n t r a n c e o n t h e

F a i r b a n k s s i d e f o r c o m m u n i t y

members .

If the col lege is able to purchase

the Street Depar tmen t , work will

begin in the^ s u m m e r of 2003 , and

the F ie ldhouse will be ready for the

fall of 2004.

T . raves Ha l l R e n o v a t i o n :

"Once foreign language occupies

the Mar tha Miller Center , 1 think

we will then begin the restoration

of G r a v e s Ha l l , " B u l t m a n sa id .

"That a lso will be a very exci t ing

projec t . T h e big b o n u s there , at

least as w e envis ion it right now, is

that we ' l l be creat ing four state-of-

the-art c lass rooms in a very pr ime

location on campus . We ' r e short

of c lass rooms right now."

A c c o r d i n g to B u l t m a n , if the

Mil ler Center is done s u m m e r of

2004 . the Graves (#6) renovat ion

could begin right away, and maybe

be ready for second semester .

O t h e r P r o j e c t s :

"In our longterm strategic plan,

the t w o things that a ren ' t in this

campa ign that I think we need to

address is another major residence

hall and a pe r fo rming arts center ,"

Bul tman said.

T h e co l lege is cons ider ing t w o

poss ibi l i t ies fo r the p e r f o r m a n c e

hall. O n e is a to build a large per-

f o r m a n c e hall with a b o u t 1 ,500

seats and f u n d i n g he lp f r o m the

H o l l a n d c o m m u n i t y . T h e o the r

would be a smaller recital hall with

abou t 5 0 0 seats and funding com-

pletely f r o m H o p e . O n e prel imi-

nary plan includes a wa lkway con-

nect ing Nykerk Hall of Music to a

pe r fo rming arts center on the cur-

rent si te of the Delphi and Interna-

tional houses (#7).

Bu l tman wants to build a new

res idence hall on the eastern side

of c a m p u s . "Tha t probably would take the

form of either another Col lege East

t y p e b u i l d i n g o r o t h e r w i s e a

Bul tman said. Bo th ideas are cur ren t ly o n l y

speculat ion, as no money has been

raised yet.

Arcadia blends murder & intellect Maureen Yonovitch STAFF R E P O R T E R

W h a i started out as a m u r d e r

discovery about mathemat ics , sci-

e n c e , ph i losophy , love , and l i fe

w h e n T o m S t o p p a r d ' s A r c a d i a

made its debut last weekend .

Put on by the Hope College The-

atre Department , the play will have

four cont inued pe r fo rmances f rom

Wednesday to Saturday, February

20-23 at 8 p.m. in the DeWitt Main

Theatre.

Jon Cranney, professional actor

and visi t ing di rector of Arcadia ,

has found Hope ' s Thea t re Depart-

men t to be well advanced in its

level of per formance .

"Arcadia is an incredible chal-

lenge fo r any g r o u p of a c t o r s , "

Cranney said. " T h e level of pro-

fessional s tandards here at Hope is

really quite extraordinary."

A s for the play itself, Cranney

bel ieves it very benef ic ia l to be

performing something of this mag-

ni tude at the col lege level.

" I t ' s a great play to do with col-

lege age people because i t 's so full

of ideas and the kind of knowledge

col lege students are encounte r ing

in their educat ion , both scient i f ic

and mathemat ical as wel l as artis-

t ic," Cranney said.

Arcadia is set in the s a m e room

of a manor house in Derbyshi re ,

England dur ing two di f ferent cen-

turies. 1809 to 1812 and present day.

A s the interplay be tween these t ime

periods enfolds , both characters and

a u d i e n c e a l i k e f i nd t h e m s e l v e s

quest ioning their own ideas about

the world.

" I t ' s a good play for people who

are f o r m i n g thei r c o n c e p t of the

world and what they want to achieve

in the world, a fascinat ing jugg l ing

of psychology, knowledge , hopes ,

and fears ," Cranney said.

At the heart of the play are the

ideas of mathemat ical chaos , com-

plexity f rom simplicity; and thermo-

dynamics , the notion that heat only

f l o w s f r o m hot to cold . C r a n n e y

e n c o u r a g e s s t u d e n t s , e s p e c i a l l y

those of math and science, to take

the opportuni ty to see some of these

concep t s in an artistic work.

"Scient is ts and especially math-

emat ic ians f ind it a fascinat ing hu-

man gl impse of order and creat ion

of the un iverse ," Cranney said. "In

t h e g u i s e of a m y s t e r y p l a y ,

S toppard cleverly makes all these

ideas col l ide ."

T h e Fly ing Du tchmen watched

their M I A A championsh ip d r e a m s

disappear last week as they lost two

critical games, falling first lo Calvin

C o l l e g e ( 1 9 - 6 , 9 - 3 M I A A ) o n

Wednesday and then to Albion Col-

lege (16-8, 7-5) on Saturday. Both

were on the road and inf luenced the

D u t c h m e n ' s s tanding in the M I A A .

Hope (17-8, 8 -4 M I A A ) started the

week in so le p o s s e s s i o n of f i rs t

p lace in the . M I A A championsh ip

race, but af ter the t w o losses, f in-

ished the season tied for second

with K a l a m a z o o College.

T h e losses were d i s a p p o i n t i n g

for the Flying Dutchmen, especially

because they were in charge of their

own destiny, and they let the cham-

pionship get away f rom them.

"Obvious ly by the ou tcome , we

could have played a lot better. We

jus t d i d n ' t p lay very we l l , " said

Hope center D o n Overbeek ( '03) .

T h e Du tchmen were c o m i n g off

of four games in the Civic Center ,

all of which had resulted in victo-

r ies . T h e swi tch lo a w a y g a m e s

only added insult to injury in the

losses.

"They were two hostile envi ron-

ments and we knew what to expect .

We just d idn ' t get the j o b done , "

Overbeek said.

Of fense , or lack of , proved to be

the Ach i l l e s ' heel for the F ly ing

D u t c h m e n aga ins t A lb ion . T h e y

shot a mere 28 .3% f rom the f loor

and 13% f r o m behind the 3-point

arc.

"With Albion, w e just cou ldn ' t

get into a r hy thm o f f e n s i v e l y . I

thought they had s o m e big shots

in the second half and we cou ldn ' t

come back and hit the big ones so

they s tar ted to pull a w a y , " said

Hope captain Chad Car l son ( ' 03 ) .

"Of fens ive ly . I thought we were

inconsis tent . T h a i ' s probably the

main thing we have been working

on, lo try and be more consistent

o f fens ive ly , " Car l son added.

G r e g Immink ( ' 05 ) and Travis

S p a m a n ( ' 0 5 ) led t h e F l y i n g

D u t c h m e n with 9 po in t s , wh i l e

Car l son chipped in 6 points and 5

rebounds .

In the Calv in game, it appeared

as if the K n i g h t s s imply p layed

with more desire. T h e Du tchmen

fought hard to the end, but couldn ' t

find a chink in Ca lv in ' s de fens ive

armor. Every time they began to

c lose the gap, Calv in would find

s o m e way to pull away again.

" T h e C a l v i n g a m e w a s j u s t

hus t l e . I t h ink in e v e r y C a l v i n

game, it 's the team that just p lays

harder (that wins) ," Car lson said.

Despi te the shor tcomings of last

behind them and focused their full
