"Virtues of Public Discourse" will aid campus discussion 5 virtues from Sexuality Task Force's report issued as stand-alone document

Jamie Pierce CAMPUS BEAT EDITOR

44What kind of communi ty is Hope Col-

lege?" This question is asked on the cover of

a pamphlet released recently by Hope in con-

junct ion with the Task Force on Issues of

Sexuality.

T h e pamphlet contains f ive "Vir tues of

Public Discourse"

and is one product

of last semester ' s

sues of Sexuality.

( ' 0 3 ) , S tuden t C o n g r e s s p r e s i d e n t , and

Herrick himself.

According to Herrick, the subcommittee

discussed the concept of virtues, decided

which virtues would be most fitting for the

task at hand, and refined the meaning of each

virtue for the report. The larger committee

was pleased with the formulation of the five

virtues - humility, hospitality, patience, cour-

age, and honesty, and so it was added to the

task force 's report. "Interestingly enough,"

Herrick said, "that 's been probably the most

wide ly endorsed or

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm well-received part of

the report."

This Kollen Hall study lounge has been converted into a large room for four freshmen. Both the second and third floor study lounges there have housed students at various points in the last few years.

Enrollment down, housing crunch up Some first year students find themselves in non-traditional housing

Kurt Koehler STAFF REPORTER

When Mitch Peterson ( '06) first saw

his housing card, he didn ' t know what to

think. After seeing his room, a converted

Kollen Hall study lounge for the first time,

Peterson felt differently about the situa-

tion. "I didn ' t know what to do with all the

space," said Peterson.

Peterson was one of eight students tem-

porarily assigned to live in two Kollen

Hall study lounges due to a campus hous-

ing crunch.

"We have students in the second and

third f loor s tudy lounges ," said Sean

Fochtman, Kollen Hall Resident Direc-

tor. "As spots open up (elsewhere) we ' r e

breaking them down."

Amber Garrison, assistant director of

housing, insists that no s tudents have

been left out in the cold.

"Everybody at Hope College is housed.

Right before school started we had 12

people in temporary assignments; 8 in

Kollen hall, 2 in Van Vleck, and 4 in the

Scott hall apartment ." The two are out

of Van Vleck and there are now three in

Scott. Today we had three withdrawals

Point/counterpoint: male/female enrollment David Gutierrez and Rebekah Oegema INFOCUS EDITOR AND COPY EDITOR

The rumors are flying: 6 females

to every male. Ideal dating environ-

ment. Senior scramble. Females out

of luck in f inding a mate. We at the

Anchor have decided to explore this

issue and offer a male and female

perspective on the ratio debate. We

welcome your ideas, too: Hope ' s

campus has 2 males for every 5 fe-

males. What do you think?

Rebekah 's Point:

Beyond controversy, minority di-

visions, and campus group issues,

a topic of great discussion as of late

on Hope ' s Campus is mathematics,

or a developing trend in the ratio

of males to females. This discus-

sion is not unique to our campus,

and the debate over the recent trend

in co l leges and univers i t ies has

been gaining increasing media at-

tention. The Grand Rapids Press

published a recent article discuss-

ing the trends, which show that fe-

male college attendance is on the

rise, while male attendance is fall-

ing. In response, I 've heard males

re joic ing in one ear and women

despairing 'where the men at? ' in

the other.

However , this is not necessarily

a gender-divided argument. There

are many views on the social and

educational ramifications these sta-

tistics show. This current trend is a

surprising reversal to most of our

country 's history, thinking back to

a time where women were denied

a formal education, and even as re-

cently as the early seventies when

males continued to be the majority

in the educational institutions.

It is my op in ion that a m o r e

evenly-dispersed student popula-

tion would be beneficial to students

in both the educational and social

realms.

So many of my female fr iends

come to me in despair, asking me

if I know of a male available for a

d a t i n g r e l a t i o n s h i p , or e v e n a

friendship where they're able to get

a male perspective on a problem.

They, of course, are grateful that

they are able to get a quality edu-

cation in an environment support-

ive of their educational pursuits, but

when Fantasia time rolls around,

the hunt for available males some-

times brings on suicidal tendencies.

Hope Col lege is an insti tution of

academic advancement , not a hunt-

skewed mental i ty that contr ibutes

more kindl ing to the f ire of this ar-

g u m e n t . Of c o u r s e , h u m a n s do

seek compan ionsh ip , but to spend

over $20 ,000 a year to pine over a

potential date for the next formal

is a h o r r i d m i s a p p r o p r i a t i o n of

money.

Academical ly , I feel that f emale -

d o m i n a t e d c l a s s r o o m s p rov ide a

change f r o m what many students

may have been subjected to in their

pr ior scholas t ic env i ronmen t s . I

T h o s e s tudents taking advantage

of the c o m m u t e r pass opt ion can

add money to their accounts in the

Kletz and will earn 10% extra in

" B o n u s B u c k s " with each deposi t .

recall many a High School discus-

sion where the w o m e n of the class

p resen ted a c lear and in te l l igen t

a rgument only to be bul l ied into

through loud, chauvinis t ic remarks.

These same m e n are now subdued

and forced to have viable fac t s to

support their v iewpoints . If any-

thing, the gender i m b a l a n c e will

contr ibute to a more academica l ly

beneficial env i ronment for all par-

ties involved, thus improving the

overall learning exper ience here at

Hope.

So men- swal low your pr ide and

struggle at t imes with the r igors of

A fresh perspective on familiar

sights is set to make its debut at

Hope ' s DePree Art Gal lery this

Friday. The exhibit, Bivouac, re-

f l e c t s A l u m n u s N a t e C a s s i e ' s

spent a lot of time in this space so

it 's kind of interesting to have my

stuff in here."

By utilizing mathematical pat-

t e rns , a ba s i c s t ruc tu re of the

golden mean represented as a spi-

ral, with themes common to pat-

terns in nature, Cassie creates a vi-

sually stunning representation of

what he l ikens to the col legiate

world around us.

Bivouac is a new exhibi t de-

signed specifically for the DePree

Gallery. Cassie pointed out that he

decided to incorporate the golden

mean in his exhibit while looking

at a spiral on his computer, saying

it seemed to work well with the di-

mensions of the gallery itself.

"As I was looking at the gallery

drawings with the spiral, they fit

pretty well. They ail corresponded

to points ," said Cassie.

He chose to entitle the exhibit

Bivouac, a military term for a tem-

porary encampment , based on the

thought that, like his exhibit, college

The New Reformation Jazz Band will perform in the Centennial Park Gazebo this Saturday, September 7 at 7 p.m.

New reformation band to perform Saturday

Anjey Dykhuis STAFF REPORTER

As Labor Day weekend fades

into the past and students prepare

to buckle down to a schedule of

classes, studies, and jobs, weekends

seem to come few and far between.

But fear not, events of interest do

come to Holland for those with eyes

to see, and, in this case, ears to hear.

This coming Saturday, Septem-

ber 7, the New Reformat ion Jazz

Band is coming to Centennial Park

to perform for the general public.

The concert will begin at 7 p.m. in

the gazebo, which is positioned on

the northwest comer of the park.

The band has been playing for

over 30 years and original founders,

b r o t h e r s D a v e a n d N i c k

Oppermann, are still going strong

as the 'e lders ' of the band. New

Reformation Band (NRB) is one of

the most prominent bands in the

United States, pe r fo rming tradi-

t i ona l j a z z , w h i c h i n c l u d e s

Dixieland, ragtime, swing, and big

band. Despite their continued suc-

cess, bandleader Dave Oppermann

stated that the group has agreed to

allow the band to die a slow death

once the merriment leaves the per-

formances. Until then, they plan to

play their music as long as there is

the demand and just have a good

time while they're at it. Oppermann

offers one reason why the band has

lasted so long without burning out.

"We have so much fun and the

audience has fun as wel l . . . i t ' s all

genuine," said Oppermann.

The N R B is one traditional band

not composed of older jazz aficio-

n a d o s , but i n s t ead in teg ra te s a

younger man with a fresh style and

a contemporary outlook on perfor-

mance. Acclaimed as "America ' s

Most Entertaining Jazz Band," the

band has one of the youngest and

best c la r ine t i s t s in the count ry .

Eighteen-year-old Dave Bennet t

h a s b e e n c o m p a r e d to B e n n y

Goodman.

" H e i s p r o b a b l y b e t t e r t han

Benny Goodman was at his age,"

said Oppermann.

So if you have heard of the New

Reformation Band, or if you sim-

ply love classic jazz and want to be

entertained, grab a blanket, a chair

and a few fr iends and enjoy some

great music for free in Centennial

Park. It 's another great way for the

community of Holland to celebrate

the beginning of the year.

If you don't have anything nice to say.. Last year. President Bultman appointed a Task Force on Issues of

Sexuality at Hope. This group had a multi tude of purposes, one of

which was to find effective ways to communicate ones ' thoughts and

opinions on sexuality. After a year of deliberation, they published

their f indings in a 30-page report. This report contained their bibli-

cally rooted suggestions of how to conduct oneself in a social conver-

sation. Humility, hospitality, patience, courage, and honesty made up

the "Virtues of Public Discourse."

As accurate as these may be. I cannot help but wonder at their true

value. Sure, we should conduct ourselves in these ways during

conversation, but shouldn' t we already know this? It seems that we

don' t need a special group to tell us how to be nice to each other, and

it also seems this group was just a big waste of time. But then I think

back to my previous Hope experience: the "Take Back Our Campus

Crew," last year, the homosexuali ty debate of years past with propo-

nents on either side that refuse to compromise . There has always been

a kind of "Fire and Brimstone" approach to people with different

beliefs at this college. So, as much as I would like to believe that

these "virtues" are nothing but a restatement of common knowledge, I

know that, for at least some of us, they aren' t .

For a real life example of the attitude toward different ideals, you

need to look no further than this page. T h e letter to the editor this

week, f rom G.L.O.B.E. , is signed "Madame Prez and Madame V.P."

It is an absolute shame that the leaders of this group have reason to

fear harassment f rom members of this college community. The goal

of G.L.O.B.E., and other groups like it, is to promote understanding in

the community, so that all of our lives may be enriched. So, to anyone

reading this right now that would have the urge to criticize G.L.O.B.E.

or any other group that is looking to promote understanding, I would

suggest that you take to heart the advice of the Task Force. For the

rest of us, make sure, through this coming year, we should keep our

minds open to others and their views, so we may truly make this

communi ty something to be proud of.

Get involved Well, the first week and a half of school has passed, and the

semester has officially started. Classes are beginning, and the

homework is all coming in. Despite all of this, I would encourage

any student on this campus to go out and get involved in anything

that you may be interested in. Even though the first week is over,

there is still t ime to get out to student groups. Whether you are

interested in WTHS, Nykerk, the Pull or T h e Anchor, communi-

cate your interest now: you will not regret it later. In m y first year,

the only extracurricular activity I was involved in was Nykerk,

and I missed out. Since then, every year I have steadily added

activities to my plate, and now I know many more people on

campus, and I am much happier. Even though it may be stressful

at times, all of the work is definitely rewarding in the end.

The inside story from the ones who know Administrative assis-tants from around campus talk about what happens behind the scenes.

Jen Troke SPOTLIGHT EDITOR

For Lannelte Carson, administrative assis-

tant to James Boelkins, provost, spending

time on Hope's campus is nothing new. She

has only worked in her current position for a

little less than a year, but Hope College has

been a part of her life ever since she began

taking piano lessons on campus as a child.

"My dad went to Hope, my brother went

to Hope, I went to Hope, so I just always

knew that I wanted to come back and be in-

volved with Hope someday," Carson said.

From dorm life in Kollen Hall to the ox-

roast now known as community day, Carson

has stayed involved with Hope College. In

her current position, she has a chance to see

things f rom a new perspective.

"My cousin is a sophomore here and lives

in Kollen. He was b o m when I was a sopho-

more living in Kollen," Carson said.

Now, she spends many of her days in her

o f f i c e next to the p r o v o s t ' s , w h e r e she

handles projects, schedules and major events

like the pre-college conference for faculty.

"We ' r e kind of a personnel department for

the faculty as far as we administer the salary

process in the spring when we ' re issuing con-

tracts for the facu l ty for the next yea r , "

Carson said. "All the recruiting and hiring

of new faculty comes through our off ice."

Although Carson may seem relatively new

to the provost 's

o f f i c e s c e n e ,

s h e o u t - d a t e s

t h e p r o v o s t

himself.

"He 's brand-

new, so I have

a little idea, but

this year 's just

going to be to-

tally different,"

Carson said.

Some of the

projects Carson and Boelkins have to tackle this semester are

Bacca lau rea t e , C o m m e n c e m e n t , H o n o r s

Convocat ion and other awards ceremonies.

C a r s o n a l s o r e c e i v e s h e l p f r o m B a r b

Gonzales, assistant provost.

When Carson isn ' t working on projects,

she works on her outside interests, like ac-

companying the Christ Memoria l Church

Wilma Hart, administrative assistant for

Diana Breclaw, director of student activities,

life, agrees with Carson.

"I love working with the students and just

trying to be here to help them, because I pic-

ture my four kids being in a college or uni-

safe," Hart said.

which she can work with students. The diffi-

cult part of her job , as well as Carson, is the

amount of work.

"I feel like I 'm too busy. I can ' t always

get everything done that I need to get done,

and that makes me feel inadequate some-

times," Hart said.

BSBBauaaaaaaoKiBmam ^ e r " Schamper is the administrative assistant

for Richard Frost, dean

of students. She, too, is

relatively new on cam-

pus; she quit her private

bus iness and came to

Hope less than a year

ago.

"I t 's a very fun job,"

Schamper said. "Being

an assistant is just that -

you assist with the job."

S c h a m p e r h a s

worked on everything

f rom calendars and phones to typing and

creating the student handbook.

"Last year, 1 got to work with W 1 0 . That

was wonderful , and I loved it," Schamper

said. Schamper is also extremely busy, but the

most difficult part of her job is having to cut

off connections with students as they move

on. She has very few complaints about her

job, however, and she likes keeping busy. She

tries to keep busy outside of her job as well.

"I love to try new recipes," Schamper said.

" I ' m learning Spanish by taking a class here,

and I love that... I like to fly, although, cur-

rently, we don' t have our own plane. We used

to. And I love reading."

Carson, Hart and Schamper are a small

sample of the many assistants who work

around Hope 's campus. They keep the col-

lege functioning smoothly with their love of

the students, their jobs and having fun .

Tobacco: Dragging out the issue Students, school speak about tobacco at Hope

David Gutierrez, Olim Alimov, Brianna DiSalvio, and Katy Korenstra INFOCUS EDITOR;

STAFF REPORTERS

The remnanls can be seen around

campus. The soft flick of a lighter

can be heard as it ignites dried to-

b a c c o l e a v e s , a n d the c u r i o u s

thump of a f inger packing a fresh

tin of chew resonates in the ears of

those nearby. The aroma of these

habits drift through campus, or an

open window. S o m e may even

taste the flavor if considered an afi-

cionado of the tobacco realm.

W h e t h e r i t ' s c o n s i d e r e d an

amus ing social activity, burden-

some addiction, or a vile habit of

the impure, tobacco use at Hope

does exist in all these capacities.

Tobacco usage around campus

takes on a number of forms. For

some, it is nothing more than a so-

c i a l l y e n j o y a b l e ac t i v i t y to b e

shared within a group of friends.

One such group exists within the

theater department, taking shape as

"A couple

of us started

s m o k i n g mmmammmmmmmmmmmm

pipes occa-

sionally. Then we met a f ew oth-

ers w h o also smoked pipes and we

decided to fo rm what came to be

the Pipe Club," Bryan said.

The club, started by three male

theater students last year, convened

Mondays at 10 p.m. on the DeWitt

pa t io t h r o u g h o u t the pas t year .

Since then, the club's numbers have

grown to roughly 12 members , in-

cluding one female member. While this may be a more relaxed

approach to tobacco use, there are

a number of students whose habits

are a little more demanding. How-

ever, many such students were re-

luctant to speak openly,

"Chewing tobacco is like the glue

that binds my life into a cohesive,

m e a n i n g f u l w h o l e , " s a y s o n e

a n o n y m o u s male s tudent , ( ' 03 ) .

"Although I 'm not ashamed of my

habit. I 'm deathly afraid of what my

parents would say."

"I have to have | a cigarette] af-

ter 1 wake up." said an anonymous

female student, ( '06). "If I get to

my morning class and haven ' t had

at least a f ew drags on my way

there, I 'm going to go nuts."

F o r s o m e , a d d i c t i o n w a s a

gradual progression they did not

realize until it had taken control.

"It wasn ' t like I thought to my-

self, ' I ' m gonna start smoking to-

day.' It just kinda happened," says

one male student, ( '05). "At first I

only smoked when I was at a party.

I 'd have one or two and be fine; I

never bought any. Then I started

smoking with people I saw outside

of the dorm, or a round campus .

F rom there it just grew."

Smoking tobacco is not the only

fo rm of the drug that exists within

the H o p e C o l l e g e c o m m u n i t y .

"I t 's a more subtle approach to

tobacco use," says one avid user,

live an active life without the nega-

issue for the sake of consistency,"

said Wesener. "What are we say-

you are smoking, but you can stand

The Dutchmen soccer team was

slightly nervous as they lined up

for the beginning of their first

g a m e a g a i n s t T h o m a s M o o r e

(Ky.) College. The tournament,

held last weekend in Anderson,

Indiana, was the site of the first

f e w g a m e s o f H o p e ' s 2 0 0 2

season.

In t h e i r f i r s t g a m e v e r s u s

Thomas Moore, Hope struggled

with first game jitters and it took

them awhile to get the passing

sequences and checks down. The

first half ended with neither team

scoring, but once the second half

b e g a n , the D u t c h m e n qu ick ly

grabbed the lead and held on, end-

ing the bat t le wi th a 3 - 0 win .

Bryan t L o o m i s ( ' 0 3 ) had two

goals, with Geoff rey Meyer ( ' 06 )

adding another.

T h e time for celebration was

short-lived, however, as the team

faced an even tougher challenge:

Anderson (Ind.), the next day. The

Dutchmen knew that they were

going to have to really work hard

if they were to win.

The Dutchmen were ahead 4-0

at ha l f t ime and by the time the

final whistle blew, Anderson was

shut out and Hope had gotten two

more goals past the opponents '

keeper. This victory won Hope

the honor o f first place in the

tournament. 44It was a great way

to open up the season, but we still

have a lot of work to do." com-

mented Dan Olson ( ' 05 ) , w h o

scored three goals against Ander-

son. Loomis , Tyler Basler ( '05) ,

and Kar te r K l i n g e n b e r g ( ' 0 6 )

also recorded scores. 44We played as a team. We won

as a team. The M V P was the

whole team." said Todd Chappa

( '05) . The Dutchmen feel they

can accomplish anything as long

as they continue to act as a team,

which so far, has come easily to

them. Even with the new play-

ers, the Dutchmen are working

quite well together and feel a

strong sense of unity with each

other, which is a great combina-

tion for a successful season.

Al though the team does has

high aspirations for this fall, in-

cluding winning the league and

going all the way in the N C A A

tournament , they agree to focus

on one game at a time. Their next

f o c u s is this weekend agains t

Concordia College. Kickoff is

scheduled for 4:00 P.M.
