Greek organizations change over time Change occurs by neces-sity and may not be a bad thing Jen Troke C A M P U S BEAT EDITOR

Hope ' s Greek organizations will probably

be chang ing this year. Then again , they

change every year.

"My concern is, ' how d o I help support

Greeks evolve now to where we are today'

and not just let them stay where they were

because I think there are some compell ing

reasons to change," said Richard Frost, dean

pf students.

Those reasons include the 25 new organi-

zations that have been added to the list of

student groups in the last 14 years. Also, stu-

dents ' expectations and desires have changed

over time.

Some of the issues Greek members can ex-

pect deal with relatively soon include aspects

of advising and alumni involvement.

"What 1 want to do is assure that the groups

that have history and the group that are just

new, for example the Promethians, continue

to be here," Frost said.

Frost has dealt with the Greeks for years,

and, many limes, the same areas are empha-

sized for growth.

"For many years, I 've tried to talk to fra-

ternities about their numbers and how do we

develop different recruitment strategies; how

do we do different kinds of public relations;

how do we do different kinds of service in

terms of more consistent and more notewor-

thy kinds of things," Frost said. "I think we're

at a point where we may need to do some

things more collaborat ively and more di-

rectly," Frost said.

Many t imes , changes o r ig ina te within

Greek organizations such as the Inter Frater-

nity Council or the Pan-Hellenic Council .

Other limes, the groups are forced to change

based on outside forces. For example, last

year, the Greek organizations had to adjust

to insurance policies. Alumni and the admin-

istration can also play roles in bringing about

changes.

Though neither Frost nor Amber Garrison,

Greek advisor, has any specific changes in

New groups join Hope community Salon and a coffee house strive to better campus discussion

Rebecca Hillyard STAFF REPORTER

Although H o p e Co l l ege has a

wide variety of student groups to

suit a myriad of interests, as evi-

denced by the number of organiza-

tions seeking formal recogni t ion

each year, some students feel that

there are gaps within the collegiate

community that need to be filled.

They came, they saw and now

they're ready to conquer.

Two of the latest phenomena are

the Cof feehouse and Salon. The

that t h e y ' r e d e t e r m i n e d to see

through to reality.

The Coffeehouse is the project of

Phil Waalkes ( '04). The idea for the

coffeehouse was born last year in

one of Professor Natalie Dykstra 's

English 113 classes. She then ap-

proached Phil with the idea, and the

plans took off. He desires to create

a permanent, full-t ime coffeehouse

where students can gather to have

discussions and social interaction

without the distractions of blaring

televisions or people attempting to

do homework.

"We think this coffeehouse can

enhance the intellectual community

and we want it to be artistic too with

s t u d e n t ar t a n d m u s i c i a n s , "

Waalkes said.

The philosophy of the commit-

tee in charge of the coffeehouse is

as follows: "Our commit tee wants

to create a student-centered coffee-

house that will give Hope students

a place to gather, a place to con-

verse, and a place to belong."

The formation of the coffeehouse

is still in the beginning stages, how-

ever. Approval to create the coffee-

house is needed by the Provost and/

or the Dean of Students. The com-

mittee plans to meet with James

Boelkins, provost within the com-

ing week.

In addi t ion , the c o m m i t t e e is

seeking out locations, either on or

They are

wi th lo-

cal busi-

nesses to

find partners for this project.

Jane Bast ( '03) and Sarah Mc

Cluskey ( '03) are also seeking to

promote intellectual stimulation in

a social setting on Hope ' s campus.

The Salon, as it is entitled, grew out

of a meet ing of graduate-school

bound English majors who realized

a need for a community within the

English Department and a space in

which literature and ideas could be

freely exchanged by those who pos-

sess a great interest in the subject.

Panel focuses on ethics crisis in business world Experts look at corpo-rate 'crime wave' in America

Jen Troke C A M P U S BEAT EDITOR

The department of communica-

tion and the department of econom-

ics, management and accounting

are sponsoring a panel discussion

entitled "Ethical Issues Today in

Business, the Media and Beyond."

Four qualified participants will dis-

cuss the issue, including Christina

Ritsema, professor of business and

economics at Hope.

James Herrick, chair of Hope ' s

communica t ion depar tment , will

moderate the discussion.

"Because Hope offers liberal arts

e d u c a t i o n w i th a s o l i d m o r a l

grounding, and because the school

prepares a lot of students to work

in both business and the media, this

seemed like an especially appropri-

ate topic for us to consider as a

community," Herrick said.

According to Ritsema, the topic

is valuable for students whether or

not they plan on entering the busi-

ness world. "I think it's helpful just so that

students are aware of their options

in terms of how to handle ethical

d i lemmas," Ritsema said.

The speakers will discuss a vari-

ety of issues related to the recently

publicized scandals happening in

the U.S.

New access system working out bugs New access cards have replaced out-dated ones

Kurt Koehler STAFF W R I T E R

The debul of Hope College 's new access

control system has been less than smooth,

with technical difficulties that have dogged

the system since its installation this summer.

"We had sporadic problems all over cam-

pus. Most of them were different program-

ming issues," said Mike Lafata, public safety

officer. According to Lafata, malfunct ions are to

be expected with any large security system.

' T h e r e really weren' t any unforeseen prob-

lems. This is a very large access card system

so we expected a few bugs. There were some

p rogramming bugs and some ne tworking

bugs that we had," Lafata said.

The bugs were supposed to have been fixed

during the summer.

"Everything got put on hold. It was sup-

posed to be done before students arrived.

There were problems with the actual [access

card] reader. We had to find a different reader.

Everything took about two or three weeks,"

Lafata said.

For the moment , the problems have been

fixed. ' T h o s e are taken care of now. There could

be some unforeseen things, but everything

should be working fine now," Lafata said.

The new system was installed this year to

accommodate growth on campus and to re-

place the older, outdated version.

"The old access control system was about

12 years old, and we couldn ' t get parts for it

anymore. They didn't write the program any-

more. and with the new Peale building go-

ing up and a couple more buildings down the

line here soon, we couldn ' t expand anymore,

so we had to update the entire system," Lafata

said.

The new access card readers were manu-

factured by Rosslare Security Products, a

subsidiary of Hong Kong-based Rosslare En-

terprises Ltd. The new system works by scan-

ning the ca rds ra ther than swip ing them

through the reader. ,

Lafata feels the campus community should

be pleased with the system.

"We're excited about it," Lafata said. 4 The

students should be pleased."

"Sarah and I are co-presidents

and founders because we decided

to start the group when we discov-

ered how many English majors re-

ally desired to have more c o m m u -

nity with each other. There ' s a lack

of intellectual communi ty at Hope,

and at times, it can be a very lonely

and alienating feel ing," Bast said.

' T h i s group is not only designed to

stimulate intellectual conversation,

but to also provide a home for those

interested in ideas. The best part

about Salon is discovering what a

lively and social group we 've be-

come; it 's a lot of fun ."

Christina Van Regenmorter ( '03)

has attended Salon.

"It was a good support for me

when I was preparing to take the

G R E (Graduate Records Exam),"

Van Regenmorter said.

The Salon currently meets every

Thursday at 9 p.m. in the Lubbers

Loft and draws about 10-12 partici-

pants per meeting. It started the first

week of school and has held three

meeting thus far.

The next step the Salon will take

is petitioning the dean of Arts and

Humanities for permission to reno-

vate the Lubbers Loft by installing

student art. New furniture will also

improve space for faculty, staff and

students alike, making the commu-

nity comfortable as well as intel-

lectual. However, it is not seeking

recognition as an official student

group at this time because it wants

to concentrate on strengthening the

group.

" [We ' re ] looking for an exten-

sion of classroom learning that is

informally structured," Mc Cluskey

said.

Greeks from 1 m i n d , t he re is no d o u b t the

Greeks will continue to evolve

and deve lop like any heal thy

campus organization.

"Change should not be seen to

any student organizat ion as a

threat but as a chance to improve

them. We ' re serious about try-

ing to improve all student orga-

nizations, not the least of which

are the Greek organ iza t ions , "

Frost said.

Garrison thinks that many of

the positive changes will come

about as a result of students.

"I think there is (change) defi-

nitely through Inter Fraternity

Council and Pan-Hellenic Coun-

cil, Greek Judicial Board and

more conversat ions with presi-

dents ," Garrison said. "I think

students are more aware and are

acting for change rather than sit-

ting back and wondering what ' s

oing to happen."

Garr i son fee ls that there is

more communicat ion between

the administration and Greek or-

ganizations than there has been

in the past . Al though G r e e k s

h a v e b e e n t h r o u g h s o m e

struggles in recent years, she

feels that it is important for them

to stay with changing limes so

that each fraternity and sorority

lasts as a campus organization

o f f e r e d to H o p e s t uden t s to

come. One major recent change

has occured through her position

as advisor to the Greeks.

"I believe in the (Greek) stu-

dent leadership tha t ' s there , "

Garr ison said. "It rests in the

hands of the students."

Crisis from 1 own understanding of the causes of

the current situation with compa-

nies such as Enron and WorldCom,

or whether the media have exagger-

ated the situation to draw viewers

and readers," Herrick said. "They

will also comment on how Hope

might help students be prepared to

address ethical issues that arise in

the workplace."

According to Ritsema, the dis-

cussion may help students think

about aspects of ethics that might

not otherwise occur to them.

"A lot of times, people make de-

cisions, and they're such short-term

focused that they don ' t think long-

term in terms of who is at s take,"

Ritsema said.

Though the issues panelists will

deal wi th are re la ted to current

events, Ritsema sees them as old

news of a sort.

"I don ' t think that an ethics cri-

sis is anything new. I think it's been

around s ince c rea t ion . Poss ib ly

right now, sin is more acceptable

in our culture, so greed and pride

and blame seem to be more preva-

lent. In that regards, it 's probably a

good t ime to d i scuss it aga in , "

Ritsema said.

Other panelists participating in

the d iscuss ion include Ar thur J.

Buys, a Hope alum and business-

man; Nancy Crawley, business edi-

tor of the Grand Rapids Press; and

Patrick Thompson, also a business-

man.

Diversity at Hope: Fact or Fiction? Administrators speak about the lack of ethnic diversity on campus, and their quest for balance

David Gutierrez INFOCUS EDITOR

Look around any given class-

room and scan the faces that oc-

cupy each seal. Sit back in Phelps

and watch bodies file through the

lines. Stroll through campus be-

tween class and pause to watch the

student body wind through cement

pathways, and one thing may stand

out: Hope ' s campus community

is lacking ethnic diversity.

" M i n o r i t y s t uden t s m a k e up

about six percent of the student

body at Hope," said Glenda Rawls,

Dean of Multicultural Life, ' i n

fact, Hope has one of the lowest

students of color population within

the Great Lakes Collegiate Asso-

c ia t ion , and

t h a t ' s v e r y

d i s h e a r t e n -

ing."

T h i s d i s -

p a r i t y c a n

have a num-

ber of nega-

t i ve e f f e c t s

on the cam-

pus commu-

nity; not only

does the pos-

sibility exist

of creating so-

cial segregation, but c lassrooms

run the risk of hosting an incom-

plete and unrealistic atmosphere.

' T h e [lack of diversity] really

hinders students f rom being fully

educated, so not having a strong

propor t ional representa t ion is a

real concern," said Richard Frost,

Dean of S tuden t s . "Wi thou t a

fuller range of opportunities for the

students to get to know people of

d i f f e r e n t e t h n i c b a c k g r o u n d s ,

w e ' r e not rea l ly r e f l ec t i ng the

United States, or the world thai

they ' re going to live in."

But why does this disparity ex-

4 4

ist? A number of contributing fac-

tors have played a key role in this

lack of diversity. In order to im-

prove upon the current d i lemma,

and to begin making changes, these

p r o b l e m s need to be i den t i f i ed .

Some of these issues and trends are

more universal within private col-

leges, while others are more unique

to Hope 's campus.

"As a general rule private colleges

do not do nearly as well, in terms of

multicultural enrollment, as public

institutions," said James Bekkering,

Vice President of Admissions.

"Potential students of color look

at various colleges and public insti-

tutions and see a significant num-

ber of minority students, and then

they c o m e visit Hope where this

d o e s n ' t r e a l l y e x i s t , " s a id

B e k k e r i n g . " T h e fac t is tha t a

student 's college life is not limited

only to academic endeavors , but

also a social life; that 's something

they should be entitled to enjoy.

For a minor i ty s tudent I th ink

there are, naturally, more of those

nit ies at

atmosphere and overall attitude of

the college community contribute to

this imbalance.

"Many students of color find this

environment to e unwelcoming, and

that 's pretty consistent with a lot of

research on students of color at pre-

dominately white institutions," said

Rawls. ' T h e r e ' s just a general in-

sensitivity of some of the student

body."

"We're fairly while,

we ' re localed in the

think we ' re part of

that c o n v e r s a t i o n

that normally would

take place, whereas

the la rger ins t i tu-

tions have a longer

m i n o r i t y h i s t o r y ,

and they are in that

conversation."

Af te r identifying

some of these major

concerns , the co l -

lege began the plan-

ning and implemen-

ta t ion of a " C o m -

prehensive Plan" to

serve as a guide to

i n c r e a s e m i n o r i t y

p a r t i c i p a t i o n at

Hope. This plan is

an attempt to make

H o p e m o r e w e l -

coming towards minority students,

faculty, and staff. Started in 1997,

the b u i l d i n g b l o c k s h a v e b e e n

placed, but a s low start and a shift-

ing of leadership has made for a

slow start in the execution of this

new plan.

The plan outlines an increase in

the recruiting of first-year minor-

ity students as well as the offering

of more competi t ive scholarships

and financial aid. The college is

also trying to develop a number of

re la t ionships with " f eede r " high

schools that enrol l a s igni f icant

number of minority students.

"We 've identified some schools

in the Detroit area, and we 've done

the same in the Chicago area," said

Bekkering. "We hope to do the

s a m e t h i n g s in the M u s k e g o n ,

Grand Rapids , K a l a m a z o o , and

Holland area."

Looking back at the trends f rom

previous years, Hope has had a his-

tory of attracting more minority stu-

dents f rom high schools f rom other

states than it has f rom the state of

Michigan.

"It makes you wonder how at-

tractive we are as a multicultural

institution to minority students,"

said Bekkering.

Many feel that this issue is not

only about enrollment or the social

e n v i r o n m e n t , but has r e l ig ious

ramifications as well.

"I think God has really blessed

his people and by not having [di-

versity] you don ' t get God ' s full

b l e s s i n g , " sa id F r o s t . " W h e n

you ' r e able to experience the rich-

ness of different people, it really

reflects G o d ' s creation in the full-

est fo rm."

There is a lot of work to do, but

what must be understood is that this

is not an issue unique to Hope Col-

lege. Many colleges or universi-

ties experience the same challenge

of creating an ethnically balanced

campus. At the University of Cali-

fornia, Berkeley, their student body

is 65 percent Asian. They find

themselves in a different position

than does Hope. This is not an easy

issue for an institution to overcome,

and there is no quick answer.

"Any system has to work within

itself," said Frost. "We need to use

[ the C o m p r e h e n s i v e P l an ] as a

building block and go year by year

to become stronger over the long

term."

Hope has made some strides to-

ward a more diverse student body,

faculty, and staff. The implemen-

tation of the Comprehensive Plan

and the attitude of the administra-

tion seem to leave the college look-

ing in the right direction. However,

this is not solely the responsibility

of the administration. The entire

college community must become a

we lcoming envi ronment for stu-

dents of all ethnic backgrounds.

"The barriers are real, and the

barriers have been identified," said

Rawls,"and I think we can continue

to work with this for the future."

A l t h o u g h the C o m p r e h e n s i v e

Plan has been enacted, and steps are

being taken to improve the current

situation, Hope College is still far

f rom overcoming this challenge.

' T h e engine isn't moving as fast

as I 'd like it to," said Bekkering.

"We 've seen ups and downs, and I

think we ' re moving in the right di-

rection, it 's just tough-going."

Student Congress President speaks on new weight room To the Editor,

I am writing in response to a let-

ter submitted by Andrea Wellman

regarding use of equipment at the Dow Center. Let me start off by say-

ing, it is always a pleasure for me to see members of the student body

take sincere and active interest in

the Hope community. As a mem-ber of Student Congress, it is my

duly to hear your concerns and take

ACTION so that changes can be made and policy can be created.

To specifically address the con-

cern at hand, I can see how one would>be frustrated when asked to

step down from a piece of equip-

ment at the Dow so that it could be

used by a health dynamics class. However , a f ter working closely

with members of the faculty and

staff, and also being employed by the Dow Center for several years, I

was surprised by the negative ex-,

perience one of our students had.

Hopefully, this letter will serve to

clarify the current situation for all students. Brian Morehouse has been

a leader of the recent changes at the

Dow. Not only has he been a part of nearly every decision regarding

the renovations, he has also encour-

aged and used student input along the way. I know, after many con-

versations, that his main goal is to offer as many workout opportuni-

ties as possible for the Hope com-

munity. It is Morehouse's desire to make

one policy in the upcoming month rather than trying out many differ-

ent policies and having to change

them. Frequent changes of policy only serve to confuse students, fac-

ulty, and community members. It is

important for all of us to have pa-t ience in the next f ew weeks as

things shake out and evaluations are

made. Morehouse plans to see the

usage of the room and the needs of classes and other users. Times will

be posted in the cardio room and at

the front door for cardio room avail-

ability. For example, if a health dy-

namics class is using the room on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday

from 8:40-9:05, the room will be

available to all from 9:05-9:40 with no class interference. As signs are

posted, it will be easier for students to plan their workouts accordingly.

Morehouse plans to work with

the students and the Kinesiology department to create the best policy

for e v e r y o n e . M o r e h o u s e says

"making it possible for students to stay physically fit is key to what this

building is all about" and his deci-sions reflect that. He is always open

to feedback concerning any facets

of the Dow. You can be confident that your voice is being heard and

policy is being created to best meet

your needs and the needs of the en-tire student body.

T h a n k you and e n j o y you r

workout.

Student encourages others to play like children To the editor.

This letter is in response to Mr.

Hassam Kanaan's opinion of caf-

e te r ia b e h a v i o r wr i t t en in las t

week's Anchor. I have serious prob-

lems with Mr. Kanaan's criticism of what type of laughter is "accept-

able", and what type of laughter is

"unacceptable". Who are you to tell another human being what is funny

and what is not? This country is considered free,

and yes, although the freedom is

limited in many aspects, there are

natural human needs such as free-dom of speech that we do not take

for granted here. Along with free-

dom of speech comes laughter and

other vocal expressions that allow

us to be individuals in a world of

many. To hit the topic at hand right on

the nose, throwing food appears to

be very funny to the majority of

phelps diners. One of the times in

life when I have laughed hardest was when I saw a piece of pump-

kin pie journey across the cafeteria

via flight, and land on top of a girl 's head. It was hilarious. (The girl later

returned the favor with a whipped

cream pie, and this act was just as

fiinny.) Is this wasteful? No. Phelps

keeps this food in circulation as long as they see fit, then they pro-

ceed to send it to the seminary

kitchen to feed the local commu-

nity, and after they have had their

fill, the excess surplus of food is thrown out. That 's right, believe it

or not our extra food is not sent

overseas to feed starving countries. Is throwing food silly and child-

ish? Yes, without a doubt it is. But

for four years in our lives, we gel to be silly and childish before be-

ing thrown into the real world of

careers and extreme responsibility.

So enjoy, time flies faster than pumpkin pie through the cafeteria.

Jazz dance company starts off GPS season Anjey Dykhuis STAFF REPORTER

Hope's Great Performance Series

is finally beginning. On Septem-

ber 19 at 8 pm, the Gus Giordano

Jazz Dance Chicago (GGJDC) will

be coming to the Knickerbocker

Theater to perform for their 40th

year. The jazz dance ensemble will be

the first of six concerts in the Great

Pe r fo rmance Series . T h e dance

t roupe 's visit to the GPS at Hope is

due in part to the Heartland Arts

Fund Program.

I t ' s not j u s t c h a n c e tha t the

GGJDC is the group to begin the

series. "No one is luck of the draw with

us. We have a number of groups to

select f rom, so when we pick one,

we want them. I looked at other

groups as well, but Giordano is a

tough c o m p a n y to m a t c h , " said

Derek Emerson, arts coordinator.

In 1962 , G u s G i o r d a n o co -

founded Dance Incorporated Chi-

cago with five other dancers.

By 1966, the group had been re-

named the G u s Giordano Dance

C o m p a n y . T w o years later, the

c o m p a n y b e c a m e the f i r s t j a z z

dance company to tour the Soviet

Union. The group's name finally

evolved into the Gus Giordano Jazz

D a n c e ' C h i c a g o , a n d has b e e n

highly acclaimed in more than nine

countries. Today, Giordano contin-

ues to maintain an active relation-

ship with the self-named group.

T h e Company is compr ised of

seventeen different dancers f rom

around the country. Among those

to be seen on Thursday night will

be Catie Deitz, Joel Longenecker,

L i z z i e M a c K e n z i e a n d E l i j a h

Gibson.

Giordano himself has received at

least twenty-four different awards

fo r his p rowess in the f ie lds of

dance, choreography, and dance

education. He has choreographed

for such hits as the Chicago revival

of B r o a d w a y ' s Hair a n d the

Goodman Thea te r ' s A Christmas

Carol. Emerson thinks that this show

will not only appeal to dance stu-

dents, but to the general public as

well.

"In fact ," said Emerson, "some

students will find jazz dance more

accessible than some other forms

of dance, perhaps because more el-

ements of it show up in ' commer-

cial' settings than say ballet or mod-

e m dance."

Although this show is currently

sold out, GPS season tickets are still

available at $20 for students, which

includes three free shows, and can

be purchased by calling 395-7890.

The sell-out show promises to be a

smash beginning to Hope ' s Great

Performance Series.

HA AC hosts two fall exhibits

PHOTO COURTESY HOLLAND AREA ARTS COUNCIL

George Olson's life-like nature drawings are now on display in his exhibit, "Portraits from the Prairie."

Maureen Yonovitz A R T S EDITOR

A picture is worth a thousand words, and

this fall the Holland Area Arts Council fully

captures this idea. Two exhibit ions will be

shown focusing on looking for unconven-

tional aspects within traditional concepts.

"Portrai ts of the Prairie: The Works of

George Olson," and "Figuratively Speaking,"

H A A C ' s Annual Juried Exhibition, are cur-

rently on display in the Barbara H. Padnos

and Amanda Jane Armstrong galleries of the

Council . T h e two shows debuted simulta-

neously on September 13 and will run until

November 15.

According to Jason Kalajainen, HAAC Ex-

ecu t ive Di rec tor , the Hol l and A r e a Ar t s

Council is " a nonprofit arts organization that

works to expand the community 's knowledge

of the arts." "Because the city [of Hol land] doesn ' t

have an art museum, we work to fulfil l that

role too," said Kalajainen.

Beside exhibits, H A A C offers a variety of

classes as well as working with different out-

reach events such as C A S A and Headstart.

The juried art show invites artists all over

Michigan to present works to be judged based

on a certain theme. This year, the exhibit in-

cludes works that must relate to the "figure

of the piece" in some way. Some entries are

very representational while others are more

abstract. "Figuratively Speaking" was judged

by UofM art professor Jim Cogswell . .

George Olson is an art professor at the

College of Wooster in Ohio. He is best known

for his realistic-looking watercolor and pen-

cil drawings of Midwestern prairies.

"They a lmost look like something you

would find in a textbook, they're so detailed

and beautiful ," said Kalajainen.

Kala ja inen noted that the two exhibi ts

shared certain characteristics in how they

both made references to more traditional

themes in art. They were put together for

that reason.

"We started out thinking of doing some-

th ing related to the h u m a n f i g u r e , " said

K a l a j a i n e n . " A n d G e o r g e O l s o n ' s work

started to look like portraits. It was kind of

fun to pair those two together."

Kalajainen believes that everyone will find

something they enjoy within the two exhib-

its because of an aesthetic appeal to the pieces

and the different issues they deal with.

"I encourage anyone to just come over and

relax in the environment," said Kalajainen.

The Holland Area Arts Council, located on

8th Street, is open Monday through Friday

f rom 10 a.m. until 9 p.m. and Saturday f rom

10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Admission to both ex-

hibi ts are free and open to the public.

Romance novels discussed in series Maureen Yonovitz A R T S EDITOR

Romance is in the air, and will

be seen in the classroom this Thurs-

day when English Professor Eliza-

beth Trembley presents ' T h e Ro-

mance Novel: Rumor, Reality, and

Risk ," as the first instal lment of

Hope ' s Annual Arts and Humani-

ties Colloquium Series.

Sponsored by the arts and hu-

manities department, the series has

been in existence for over 20 years.

E n g l i s h P r o f e s s o r K a t h l e e n

Verduin, who is running the series

this year with the help of English

a d m i n i s t r a t i v e a s s i s t a n t M y r a

Kohsel and Arts and Humanit ies

Dean Bill Reynolds, describes it as

a "chance for the faculty of the arts

and human i t i e s to p resen t their

work to anyone else who is inter-

ested." Other faculty members in-

volved include Michelle Bombe of

the Theater Department and John

Hanson in the Art Department.

In both the fall and spring, two

or three professors are scheduled to

present, fol lowed by student pre-

sentations at the end of each semes-

ter. Faculty members are selected

to present works recommended by

other faculty, or they may volun-

teer their own works. Students are

usually recommended by profes-

sors for writing an outstanding pa-

per of substantial scholarship, as an

example of the college's best stu-

dent work.

Trembley, who is experienced in

the romance fiction industry, is cur-

rently working on her own romance

fiction work. She points out that her

colloquium is open to "anyone in-

terested in hearing about romance

novels and exploring the ideas of

what we consider high and low cul-

ture." Trembley 's presentation will fo-

cus on three main aspects. First, it

will take a look at the audience

m e m b e r s ' o p i n i o n s of r o m a n c e

novels and how to read and write

them. Second, Trembley will pro-

vide statistics and anecdotes f rom

her personal experience with pro-

fess iona l r o m a n c e scho la r s and

writers. Finally, she will discuss the

risks involved in association with

romance fiction.

' T h e distinction between litera-

ture and popular culture is being

challenged," said Verduin. "Schol-

ars are now taking popular culture

more seriously."

T rembley ' s presenta t ion takes

place in the 100 East 8th Street

Building, room 260 on Thursday,

Sep tember 19 at 4p .m. Ref resh-

ments will be served. All are in-

vited and encouraged to attend.

"It gives students a chance to be

absorbed into the communi ty of

scholars," said Verduin. "It helps us

appreciate each other."

Vm not gonna lie to you

Spotlight editor

It's not that hard to say hello, I promise I t ' s happened to all of us.

You k n o w the scenario: y o u ' r e

wa lk ing d o w n the s idewalk ,

let 's say. around the Pine

G r o v e on your w a y to the

library. (I know w e ' v e a lways

got s o m e w h e r e lo be; I k n o w I

do.) And c o m i n g f rom the

other direct ion, straight

towards you, is someone w h o

y o u ' v e never seen before o r

maybe talked to once in your

life. Whi le y o u ' r e still s o m e

dis tance away, you pretend thai

you haven ' t not iced; y o u ' r e

zoning out staring into space

and not paying any at tent ion.

(If you say someth ing loo fast ,

there ' l l be one awkward

momen t just before y o u ' v e

passed the person when y o u ' v e

got nothing left lo say.) Then ,

just when y o u ' r e a mere f ive

feet away, you look up and

begin lo say hel lo or give a

m ^ m little smile.

I t ' s the least

you could do;

i t ' s c o m m o n

courtesy.

Except that,

to your

surprise,

instead of looking at you, t hey ' ve

turned the other w a y and basi-

cally ignore you al together. You

k n o w they saw you walk by.

Now, I k n o w that eve ryone

has bad days. For about a week

n o w I ' v e been wander ing around

like I ' ve got m y head cut off

because I feel like I have so m u c h

to do. But tha t ' s no reason not to

say hel lo lo someone . They might

need to see a smile more than you

do.

At the start of every year,

s tudents lend to be outgoing .

W e ' r e all eager lo make new

f r iends , to get to k n o w as many

Sometimes a smile or a hello would do a lot to brighten up my ordinarily crazy day.

people as we can. Despi te

every th ing I ' ve just said, I love

the s tudent body here. I ' ve never

met so m a n y unique people in one

place. But it 's on ly three weeks

into the school year and I see the

original f r iendl iness dwindl ing

already. W e ' r e sett led in and

focused on every th ing that needs

to gel done every day, and that ,

unfor tunately , seems lo m e a n that

people aren ' t as open to mee t ing

n e w people or wil l ing lo lake t ime

lo be polite.

Of course , not everyone

looks the o ther w a y w h e n you say

hello. I s imply love some people .

w h o I ' m not

necessari ly even

c lose f r iends

with, w h o smile

at everyone and

a lways take the

l ime to ask me

how I ' m doing.

And . of course, your f r iends will

a lways say hello. But besides

that. 1 hale feel ing snubbed w h e n

I walk a round campus . I ' m

a lways running around campus

s o m e w h e r e with about 4 ,000

things to do, and some t imes a

smi le or a hel lo would do a lot to

br ighten up m y ordinari ly crazy

day, o r even a response when 1

say hello. Instead, when I get no

response , I end up feel ing worse .

T h e next t ime I pass someone i t 's

just a little bit harder lo put on a

smi le and say hello again. Call it

fear of re ject ion, I guess .

I ' m sure that I ' m not the

only one w h o feels this way. A

vicious cycle is started where

the less people say hello, the

less you say hello, and before

long y o u ' r e walking around,

head d o w n , s tar ing straight at

the s idewalk .

M y point is, most of us

have it pretty easy right now.

We all have a lot of stress and

a lot of things that need lo be

taken care of , but overal l , life

is good . 1 admit I spend loo

much t ime compla in ing about

what I need to do instead of

focusing on every th ing I have .

I take for granted the fact that

I ' m even at col lege. There ' s no

reason that we can ' t lake two

seconds lo smile at w h o ' s

GOING DEEP

Sports editor

Club Sports Around campus , and even here in the Anchor off ice , I am of t en

cri t icized for writ ing about Hope Col lege c lub sports t eams such as

Ice Hockey, Ul t imate Fr isbee , and M e n ' s and W o m e n ' s Lacrosse ,

and Sail ing. Part icipat ion in athletics, regardless of what type, is a

heal thy activity that the Adminis t ra t ion should, and does support .

T h e impor tance or legi t imacy of an athletic team cannot be j u d g e d

on the a t tendance at the events , revenue brought in for the col lege,

or popular i ty within the c o m m u -

ni ty .

I ' ve heard a lot about how club

sports are more like intramural

sports than varsity sports , but I

s t rong ly d i sag ree . H o p e c o m -

petes at the highest level in many

of its c lub sports .

For example , the Hockey team

placed 5lh at the Divis ion III na-

t i o n a l t o u r n a m e n t , w i t h t w o

players receiving all tournament

honors. Last Spring, the Ultimate

Frisbee team placed 9th in the re-

gion in all col lege divis ions and

s tahds a good c h a n c e to qua l i fy

for nat ionals this year.

The re are ways in which c lub

teams di f fer f r o m the varsi ty

sports t eams . They o f fe r a high

level of compet i t ion with less

of a commi tmen t of a varsi ty

sport . A large n u m b e r of the athletes that part icipate in c lub sports

played varsi ty sports in high school , but did not want to cont inue

at the co l lege level, s imply because it takes less t ime. M a n y

f r e shmen are able to walk on

and play a sport for the first t ime

with the c lub teams and not have

to worry about be ing cut .

Because there are f ewer c lub

teams in the region than varsity

teams, mos t of H o p e ' s c lub

spor ts are forced to compe te

agains t Divis ion I and II t eams

to fill their schedule .

' T h e r e are no co l lege varsity

w o m e n ' s lacrosse t e a m ' s in the

Midwes t , so that means when

we play c lub teams f rom

Michigan State, Michigan ,

Purdue, Indiana, and other

schools , w e ' r e playing their best

t e a m , " said w o m e n ' s lacrosse

player Jer icho Moll ( ' 05 ) .

" I t ' s m o r e laid back, but it 's still compete i tve . Las t year w a s

our first year, so our main goal w a s to get e n o u g h girls together to

play the game . "

' T h e cool thing about ul t imate and other c lub sports is that all

s tudents a re we lcome , and no mat ter w h o they are, they can

part icipate in a c lub spor t ," said Ul t imate Fr isbee co-capta in Ken

Diekema ( ' 03 ) .

So ignore those snide remarks , and ke e p playing c lub sports .
