A new series of concerts at Hope

will begin this Friday in Dimnent

Chapel. Jennifer Knapp is the first per-

former in Hope 's Christian Music

Series, made possible by a dona-

If we decide to go ahead with registration,

we would probably pilot some of it at some

pected to be complete within the

next two weeks.

Two major property acquisitions

have also occurred over the sum-

mer months. The college has pur-

chased the Western Foundry prop-

erty located on Fairbanks Avenue

as the f u t u r e si te of the DeVos

F ie ldhouse . D e m o l i t i o n of the

Foundry has yet to occur. "We' re

waiting for a final permit f rom the

D e p a r t m e n t of E n v i r o n m e n t a l

Quality to begin work," said Greg

Maybury. Director of Operat ions

and Technology. ' T h e r e were some

environmental concerns that had to

be addressed, and we have a ten day

waiting period before we can re-

ceive an approval ."

Along with the Foundry, the pur-

chase of Lincoln School, on Co-

lumbia Avenue between 10th and

I l ,h Streets, will be the new site for

the Martha Miller Center that will

house the departments of commu-

nication and modern and classical

languages. Construction is planned

to start this spring.

A bui ld ing on 10,h Street and

Central Avenue will serve as the

temporary location for the psychol-

ogy off ices during the Peale con-

struction project. Formerly a Fifth-

Third Bank building, the new prop-

er ty will con t r ibu te 83 pa rk ing

spaces. ' T h e parking is to be used

mainly for faculty and staff to com-

pensa te for lost park ing behind

Peale," said Sergeant Mike Lafata,

Public Safety, "however students in

housing near the downtown area

will a l s o have a c c e s s to t he se

spots."

The College is taking steps to al-

leviate the ever-present parking is-

sue with the expansion of parking

lot F through the purchase of prop-

erty formerly owned by S E M C O

Energy and Gas Co., with construc-

tion due to begin this fall.

"We ' re still waiting on the own-

ership rights," said Maybury, "We

are hoping to have the lot com-

pleted by the end of October." This

addition will add 45 parking spaces.

Christian music series?' I think

the q u e s t i o n s h o u l d b e W h y

wouldn ' t we have a Christian mu-

sic series, being the campus that we

are? ' You can see that people really

wanted this to happen. All the little

barriers are breaking down, which

is pretty excit ing."

T h e music series is geared to-

ward Hope students. Tickets for the

Knapp concert went on sale last

week for $ 1 0 each to Hope stu-

dents, but the tickets will cost more

for non-students once they go on

sale publicly. "We don ' t want to

charge s tudents $25 per t icket ,"

Emerson said. "We' re selling them

for $10 just so to try to make some

money back and not lose a whole

lot . . .Even if we sell out, we ' l l lose

money on this concer t . We just

don ' t have a venue [big enough] to

gel our money back."

Tickets are still available at the

DeWitt Center Box Off ice for the

Jennifer Knapp concert, and have

been available to the public since

Tuesday. Seating is limited to 1000

t ickets . "We wan ted s o m e t h i n g

right away for the students to go

to," Emerson said. "The first week-

end is a big weekend for all kinds

of s tuff , and we wanted to give

them a nice opportunity for some-

p r o v o c t :

I would sit down and write some

specif ic goals for myself about

what I want to achieve out of the

a c a d e m i c p r o g r a m . A n d t h a t

doesn ' t mean exactly what your

major is going to be, but goals from

the standpoint of, "what kind of in-

vestment will I make in my study

t ime? Where will 1 put it, how will

I use my t ime?" Part of the goals

rolls into time management too:

having those goals in front of you

and r e v i e w i n g t h e m regu la r ly .

What kind of performance do you

e x p e c t to h a v e th is s e m e s t e r ?

Goals should always be realistic.

You can ' t say you ' re gong to study

80 hours a week. It would be nice,

but y o u ' r e no t . So , b u i l d i n g a

f r a m e w o r k that one is go ing to

work in, because in the first week,

there's lots of fun and lots of par-

ties and things, but fundamentally,

a student 's job is to be a student

while they're here. So, I think hav-

ing goa l s that a re rea l i s t i c and

achievable, but stretch a bit would

be the first thing I ' d l ike to see

someone do.

sel ing ( R e n t e r d i r e c t o r :

I think that one of the most im-

portant things our first year s tu-

dents - jus t like any of our students-

can do during that first week is make

connections with important people.

And those connections are every-

thing f rom beginning to look for

people that might turn into long term

friends- that 's one group of really

important people. If you ' re going to

have a good college experience, a

big part of that is based on who your

friends are. And the more quickly

you can decide, "yeah that looks like

a group who I want to spend time

w i t h " v e r s u s , " 0 0 , 1 met t h o s e

people, and maybe that 's not quite

where 1 want to be as a college stu-

den t . M a y b e t h a t ' s the k ind of

p e o p l e I hung out wi th in h igh

school, but I really want something

d i f fe ren t fo r m y co l l ege exper i -

ence." So really beginning to iden-

tify, "who do I want to build friend-

ships wi th?" And to do that right

away. Not to wait. So that connect-

ing. And then the other important

people are faculty. Particularly first

year students, but I still meet sopho-

mores and jun io r s and, f r igh ten-

ingly, occasionally a senior who has

not spoken one on one with their

faculty maybe even by midterms. So

I always say that first week if you

class just to walk up and say, "Hi,

this is who I am." Find some way

to connect with that person, and

you ' l l have a, I think, a better ex-

perience in that class. It lets you see

that faculty member as someone

you can connect with, and it al lows

that faculty member to begin tak-

ing an interest in you. Now, because

I 'm part of student development, I

also need to say, try to connect with

your R.A. or your R.D., or another

R.A. in the building. If you don' t

click with your R.D. that 's in your

area, go connect with another one

so that you begin to put in place

your group of friends, you begin to

put in place a relationship with your

faculty, and you begin to make al-

p r o v o s t :

Very often, we don' t take advan-

tage of all the opportunities that are

available around us. It's easy to just

go into a narrow area, but look for

courses that might be outside your

major. Take courses that will really

stretch you and allow you to grow

in some new areas that you hadn ' t

thought about before. Take advan-

tage, too, of the range of cultural

events that go on on this campus.

T h e r e ' s j u s t a h u g e n u m b e r of

I think number one would be an

attitudinal shift where you have to

realize that the experience is start-

the same as summer. There are go-

ing to be more demands, generally

speaking; more f r eedoms too, in

many respects, because you ' re re-

sponsible just for your own self in

college. And then make an attempt

to meet new people and to be inter-

ested in them, and again, I would

say not just your classmates, but

faculty and staff can be very help-

ful. I would also say that just kind

of getting after it right away is help-

ful. You just have to start working

ahead and buckle down and study

and not leave yourself in a position

where you transition too long and

then have to play catch up.

Freshmen took part in activities

Editor's advice I would just like to take this opportunity tc

welcome all of the incoming students to this

crazy experiment that we call Hope College.

1 am sure that you all came to Hope to

further your education and get the training

needed to get a good job in the future. But

college, and Hope College, is much more than

going to class and learning all kinds of facts.

You will be challenged to think for yourselves,

to figure out difficult obstacles in and out of the

classroom. At Hope, your very view of the

world will be challenged at every turn. Your life

will be turned upside down and back again. So,

the question arises, how do you deal with all of

this upheaval? The answer is simple: never give

up. Everything can be very overwhelming, bu

if you just push through it day by day, you will

get through your first year and every year after.

Sometimes it is easy to forget this advice, even

for those of us like me that have already been

through this for three years. And you will see,

when you survive a year of hard work at Hope

College, you will leave a much better person

than you were when you started.

Let's hear your voice

As a community, we cannot grow and learn

unless we understand and respect one another ' s

views. My personal goal for The Anchor this

year is to promote more constructive dialogue

on campus than ever before. To reach this end,

would like to extend an open invitation to all

students to share their opinions with us. We rely

on letters to the editor to get a feel for how the

student body is thinking. Along with writing

letters, I would also like to invite interested

students to come to the Anchor and write opin-

ion columns. If you are willing to help out in

any way, feel f ree to either e-mail us at

Anchor@Hope.edu, or call at extension 7877.

THE ANCHOR WANTS YOU!!

Can you write news stories? Can

you take pictures? Do you want to get

the inside scoop on happenings around

campus? Do you like what you see in

this paper? Then come be a part of it!

C o m e to our first meeting, at 9 tonight

(Aug. 28), in the Anchor off ice, located

in the Dewitt Student Center behind the

radio station! Many different positions

are available, not just staff writers!

Jennifer Knapp Band kicks off new series Christian rocker plays Dimnent Chapel this Friday night.

Maureen Yonovitz ARTS EDITOR

I t ' s a typical first week here at Hope

College. Students are arriving, classes are

starting, and popular Christian singer

Jennifer Knapp and her band are playing at

Dimnent Chapel.

Beginning at 9:30 p.m. on Friday,

August 30, the unusual will become reality

when Knapp 's performance marks the start

of Hope 's new Christian Music Series. 441 hope this series spreads the gospel to

a wide range of people, and strengthens

those who are Christians, , , said Derek

Emerson, arts coordinator.

Throughout the year, several well-

known contemporary Christian musi-

cians will take part in the series,

sponsored by the arts department.

Chaplain 's office, and student develop-

ment. 44 It is actually quite easy to get some

group to fill the series, but we really took

our time to get the artists we wanted,"

Emerson said.

Early in the spring, Emerson went to the

Dean of the Chapel Paul Boersma, and

student activities director Diana Breclaw

with the idea for the series. But Boersma

notes there was a large amount of student

interest even before this. When SAC sent

out a survey last fall asking students what

type of artists they would like to see on

campus, there had been a strong response

for Christian artists.

"We thought it

would be great

to launch

something

right away

so we

got in touch with Jennifer Knapp," said

Boersma. It was agreed that tjie concert would best

be begun with someone well

known, and Knapp seemed the

best choice. 44We wanted someone that

students knew well, that Qyr hope iS that the 56/765 students had requested, and tha t - n

would really rock Ihe chapel," W ' " 3 ° S O W e l 1 t h a t W e "

said Emerson. "(KnappI was a r f J O n f / n i i © tO dO it flGXt.

easy choice because she meets - P a u l B O G r S f T i a all three criteria."

Tickets to see Jennifer

Knapp are $10 for students and $15 for the

general public. They were first made

available to students on August 23 and

over 800 tickets have already been sold.

"We' re trying to keep costs really low

for students so that everyone can attend,"

said Boersma.

Any remaining tickets can be purchased

" T h e

Ahn Trio not only excel in their

playing, but are seeking to expand

the classical music audience," said

Emerson. "They have appeared on

MTV, been the subject of many na-

tional media features, and are cre-

ating new excitement for classical

music." S o m e s tudents may recogn ize

Anthony Zerbe when his one-man

show, "It 's All Done With Mirrors,"

Roscoe Lee Browne was a huge hit

when he was here two years ago.

Since then he has played a role in

two sequels of the film, ' T h e Ma-

trix." This year, Zerbe is not only

performing but will also spend a

week directing ten students in their

own spoken word composi t ions .

This is open to all students. More

information about how to apply will

be a v a i l a b l e l a t e r t h i s f a l l .

"This is an incredible opportunity

for some Hope students to work

with an acting veteran, not to men-

tion an Emmy-award winner," said

Emerson.

At the top of the Billboard Clas-

s i ca l -Crossove r Char t s , the L o s

A n g e l e s G u i t a r Q u a r t e t h a s

ach ieved much cri t ical acc la im.

These four recording artists bring

versatility to their music and have

appealed to all types of fans through

their energetic interplay during con-

certs. ' T h e Los Angeles Guitar Quar-

tet will appeal to everyone f rom the

classical music lover to Led Zep-

pelin fans ," said Emerson. ' T h e y

are incredible guitarists on their

own, and together they are simply

a treat." Friday, April 4 marks the end of

this year ' s GPS season with a per-

formance by the chamber orches-

tra, Camerata Sweden. The orches-

tra is d i r e c t e d by L e v o n

Chilingrian. t 4[Camerata Sweden] is known

for its characteristic interpretation

of enchanting beauty and musical

balance," said Emerson.

All performances will begin at 8

p.m., except for Anthony Zerbe ' s

presentation, which starts at 7 p.m.

Student passes are $20, which al-

lows for free admission to three of

the shows . O the r season ticket

Hope-ful Beginning Another year of Hope Col lege has

Icommenced, and the Flying Dutch-

m e n are looking to c l a im their 25 ,h

All-Sport Championsh ip title. Last

spring, Hope edged out Calv in by

nine points in the race for the All-

|Sport crown.

Before the season off ic ial ly starts,

I dec ided to take a look at the fall

l ineups, and get an idea of where

Hope will s tand w h e n the s n o w

arrives. It is much too early to pick

a d e a d l o c k w i n n e r f o r the A l l -

Sports champ, but af ter the fall sea-

son , H o p e will be a g u a r a n t e e d

Contender .

So, wi thout fur ther ado, here are

Ithe fall predict ions;

iFoo tba l l :

T h e D u t c h m e n w o n ' t be in good

[hands at q u a r t e r b a c k th is yea r ;

they ' l l be in great hands. Last year,

it took Phil But ler { '04) only one

g a m e to prove there w a s n ' t a rea-

s o n w h y h e s h o u l d n ' t b e t h e

Du tchmen ' s s tar t ing quar terback.

Eight g a m e s later, h e ' s got f i v e

|Hope football records.

Hope also yields a s t rong de fen -

Isive unit. A n d y Kel ler ( ' 04) , Matt

B a u m b a c h ( ' 04) , and capta in Josh

B a u m b a c h ( ' 04 ) should look for-

ward to another domina te season

of s topping opponen t s behind the

jline of sc r immage .

T h e Du tchmen went on a seven

Igame winn ing streak before be ing

s t o p p e d in A l b i o n l a s t y e a r .

Hope ' s season finale this year will

be at h o m e agains t Albion, but this

t ime , the Bri ts wil l b e the o n e s

[walking a w a y the losers. However ,

)y n o w the Du tchmen will be used

to t eams walk ing away de fea ted as

they prepare themselves for at least

one p layoff win .

Predict ion: \ s l Place

IVolleyball

L a s t s e a s o n , H o p e w a s a co -

Ichampion o f the regu la r season ,

seeded n u m b e r one in the M I A A

I toumament , and hosted the cham-

)ionship game. Then they were de-

| f e a t ed—by Calvin .

With Coach Maureen Dunn at the

Ihelm, the Dutch will be top con-

tenders again. Th i s yea r ' s team is

|not short on talent, with ten letter

/inners returning, including six se-

Iniors. Kara Van Assen ( ' 03 ) will

return as a captain for the Dutch

after being named to the Al l -Mi A A

team last year . Mar tha L u i d e n s

( ' 03) , the o ther Dutch captain, re-

turns a f te r receiving second team

Ihonors as well .

The Dutch m a y not host the tour-

Inament, but that doesn ' t m e a n they

can ' t win it.

Predict ion: l"1 Place

M e n ' s S o c c e r :

T h e Du tchmen were able to win

a s c h o o l - r e c o r d 16 g a m e s last

s e a s o n , but m i s s e d t h e N C A A

tournament by only one game .

With nine seniors on the t eam,

H o p e is exper ienced, domina t ing ,

and de termined to be on top of the

league this year. Ed Huebner (404),

H o p e ' s point leader from last year

returns to lead the H o p e of fense .

Goa lkeepe r M a r c u s Voss ( k 03)

wil l headl ine H o p e ' s iron defense ,

and will look to extend his record

of 28 career shutouts .

So w e return to the learning once

again. If the Du tchmen are loaded

with talent on both sides of the ball,

and the compet i t ion in the M I A A

is not as tough as it was last sea-

son, then wha t did you learn f r o m

it? Here ' s a hint: the a n s w e r ' s in

the predict ion.

Predict ion: P Place

M e n ' s G o l f :

T h e F ly ing D u t c h m e n h o p e to

m a k e it four championsh ips in four

years . And with the return of nine

le t ter w i n n e r s , it is we l l w i t h i n

reach.

T h e n u m b e r one spot on the team

left by last yea r ' s M I A A M.V.P.,

Eric Wohlf ie ld ( ' 0 2 ) , will be diff i -

cult to fill. However , Ryan Shedd

( ' 0 5 ) s tepped up last season to f in -

ish f o u r t h in the ove ra l l p l a y e r

s tandings, and received all M I A A

honors .

Other key returnees this year wil l

i n c l u d e K o d y T a y l o r ( ' 0 5 ) , Pa t

L o o m a n ( ' 0 3 ) , and J e f f Melv i l l e

( ' 0 3 ) , w h o all received A l l - M I A A

second team honors last season.

T h e odds of sending an individual

f r o m the t eam to the N C A A tour-

n a m e n t a re s l im , but w i t h f o u r

players re turning with A l l - M I A A

honors , the team is wel l on their

w a y to mak ing four tit les possible.

Predict ion: T Place

W o m e n ' s G o l f :

H o p e ' s r o s t e r w i l l no t be a s

power -packed as the previous sea-

s o n , m a i n l y b e c a u s e t w o - t i m e

N C A A t o u m a m e n f qua l i f ie r and

f o r m e r M I A A M . V . P . L a c e y

Wicksal l ( ' 0 4 ) will not be compe t -

ing this fall. This leaves capta in

Emi ly Co lenbrander ( ' 03 ) as the

only m e m b e r of the team with All-

M I A A recognit ion.

T h e Dutch will return f ive other

letter winners , but each of them

will have to m a k e great strides

du r ing the season if Hope wishes

to repeat as champions . Alb ion

and Saint M a r y ' s are not short on

talent either, and could make the

race for the M I A A crown a c lose

one.

Predict ion: 2nd P lace

M e n ' s C r o s s C o u n t r y

H o p e had three runners receive

a l l -conference honors last season,

but graduated all of them. Th i s

year, Hope returns eight letter

winners , and must rely im-

mense ly on their younger ,

inexper ienced runners.

James Grosse ( ' 0 3 ) and Lee

Kiessel ( ' 0 3 ) , w h o will captain

the F ly ing Du tchmen , will look to

replace the s lots left by the

graduated seniors last year. Af te r

this, however , the Du tchmen are

in despera te need of n e w talent

and new faces to appear in the top

spots of the races if they wish to

stay ahead of the rest of the

M I A A .

Predict ion: 2nd Place

W o m e n ' s C r o s s C o u n t r y

Last season, the F ly ing Dutch

were the runner-up in the confer -

ence s tandings and f inished tenth

at the Divis ion III Great Lakes

Regional meet . This was the 14,h

consecut ive year that the Dutch

have f inished inside the top ten at

the regional meet .

With s o m e help f r o m returning

A l l - M I A A honorees , H o p e will

have no p rob lem breaking back

inside the top ten at the regional

meet . Martha Graham ( ' 0 4 ) , T ina

Pike ( ' 0 5 ) , and Kris ten Post ( ' 0 3 )

should set the pace fo r the Flying

Dutch this season. H o p e will

re turn 14 m o r e let terwinners, and

look to give even m o r e with

sixteen f r e shmen mak ing their

debu t on the team.

W h i l e they w o n ' t be able to s top

the powerf t i l Knights , the Dutch

can expect to give them

compet i t ion as they fend of f the

rest of the con fe r ence for a return

to the second place slot.

Predict ion: 2nd Place

W o m e n ' s S o c c e r

T h e Dutch have only four jun io r s

a n d t h r e e s en io r s , bu t r e tu rn 18

let terwinners f rom last season. This

could very wel l be the first s tep to

a successfu l H o p e soccer season .

T h e Dutch placed on ly one t eam

m e m b e r on the A l l - M I A A team this

season, and look to put a handfu l

more on this year.

Daniel le N a v e ( ' 04) , w h o f inished

second in scor ing and assists last

year for the Dutch, will serve as one

co-cap ta in for Hope , wh i l e M a r y

Ayres ( ' 03 ) will take the o ther co -

captain posi t ion. Ayres m a d e 125

saves last season and recorded four

shutouts .

Hope f in ished in a tie fo r f i f th

p lace last season in a compet i t ive

con fe r ence race, be ing shunned by

close losses. I f t h e Dutch can m a k e

smal l ad jus tmen t s wi th in the first

ha l f of the season and keep it go-

ing throughout the second, an im-

p r o v e m e n t in t h e s t a n d i n g s

wou ldn ' t ra ise any eyebrows .

Predict ion: Tied for 3rd Place

A n d as a l w a y s , t h e s e a re j u s t

predict ions , so you migh t wan t to

think twice before placing your bets

(or sending any horr ible emai l s to

the Ancho r about h o w inaccurate 1

was!) . However , if you are going

to m a k e a bet, it can be to expect a

great fall fo r Hope sports on a start |

to winn ing a 25 , h Al l -Sports title.

G o o d luck to all the Hope athletes

a n d c o a c h e s t h i s s e a s o n , e v e n

though they probably w o n ' t need1

any of it.

For another year, the H o p e foo t -

ball t eam is slotted as the n u m b e r

one team in the M I A A . T h e Dutch-

m e n were able to edge out the de-
