New PR film shows Signs of Hope by Nancy Torresen Signs of Hope, a 20-minute movie

dealing with the life and times of Hope College, premiered this past Friday to a group of alumni, donors, faculty, resident assistants, and other interested parties. Following the 7 p.m. premiere was a dinner and the dedication of the Phelps cafeteria. The film was shown a second time at 8 p.m. for any students curious to see if their faces had been immortalized.

Hope's last public relatiofls film was made in the late 19508 and it was President Gordon Van Wylen's idea to produce a new multi-purpose film and to have it coincide with several major fund-raising campaigns now under way. Signs of Hope was designed to thank those who have supported Hope and to give them an idea of what Hope has accomplished through their gifts. To share with in-terested people the mission of Hope, the vitality of life at Hope, and the future goals and concerns of Hope was also a part of the purpose of the film.

With the purpose set and the audience determined, the film passed from the idea stage into the drawing board stage in the summer of 1978. In order to film Hope in

all types of weather and to include seasonal student activities, a year and a half completiop date was projected.

A cinematographer and a scriptwriter were hired, the services of com-munications professor Ted Nielsen were summoned, communications students were enlisted to help, and Tom Renner, director of information services, tied the project together. Eight thousand feet of film (about four hours) and four drafts of scripts were whittled down to a quick-moving, information-packed 20 minutes. The cost of just under $1000 per finished minute financed the process of planning, filming, writing, editing, and adding music and narration. The goal was to give the audience-prospective s tudents; nostalgic alumni; past, present, and future donors; parents; churches; and friends-what they would want to see.

The directors wanted to convey that Hope is more than just buildings, that it has a distinct personality, a tradition, and an energy. A look at Holland, the history of Hope, the academic standards, the facilities available, the faculty, the commitment to spiritual growth, and the personality of students each had their

moments to shine through. In the next three months the film will be

shown as part of a presentation about Hope from San Francisco to Long Island. It is scheduled to be seen at various regional alumni gatherings, special regional meetings, and in churches.

At Friday's student showing familiar faces on the screen brought playful heckling and general snickers from the

Ladies to gear up and go

by Steve Muyskens Last Friday, President Carter an-

nounced his decision to ask Congress for authority to register both young men and women for the draft.

The President's proposal calls for registration beginning this summer of all men and women aged 19 and 20. Even-tually, all young people would be registered on their 18th birthday.

Carter needs only to sign an executive order to require males to register. In essence, the President's draft proposal asks Congress to approve registration of women and to appropriate money to revitalize the Selective Service System.

Carter's recommendation to register women for the first time in the nation's history is expected to face difficulties in Congress. A White House official ad-mitted that "it will be very con-troversial," but he refused to predict that it would die automatically.

Both House Speaker Thomas O'Neill and Democratic leader J im Wright have told Carter that registration of women will not pass in the House.

Legislation proposing the registration of women will be requested separately so the budgeting for the male registration does not become bogged down in an emotional debate on female registration.

Under the proposal 19- and 20-year-olds would have five days to register early this summer. No exact date is set forth in the President's proposal.

Early next year, 18-year-old men and women would begin registering. After that, all young men and women would be required to register on their 18th bir-thday.

The White House did not specify what penalty would be imposed on those who refused to register, but a spokesman said the maximum-five years in prison and a $10,000 fine-would not be used.

When asked what the Government would do if thousands of people refused to register, the spokesman responded, 'Tha t is an issue we hope we will not have to address and see no reason why we should have to."

One official said that, in deciding whether to include women in the

New cottages add housing

Schakel authors new book Peter J. Schakel, professor of English,

is the author of Reading With the Heart: The Way Into Nam la, which has just been published by the Wm. B. Eerdmans Co. of Grand Rapids.

Schakel edited The Longing for a Farm, critical essays on C.S, Lewis, in 1977. The next year his study of Jonathan Swift's use of allusion in his poetry was published by the University of Wisconsin Press under the title The Poetry of Jonathan Swift

In Reading With the Heart, Schakel serves as a guide through what Thomas Howard called 4<the extremely tricky

critical terrain of allegory, archetype, symbol, sign, and analogy," and leads the reader of Lewis' Narnia chronicles "straight toward the stories themselves."

. Chad Walsh says that Schakel's book "rescues the reader from too much message hunting, and liberates him to read the stories as stories, and to respond spontaneously to their 'as if worlds."

Schakel is studying at the University of Virginia this, year on a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, accompanied by his wife, Karen, and his children, Jennifer and Jonathan.

Hope recently purchased two cottages, one at 145 E. 14th Street and the other at 326 Columbia, in the long-term planning interests of the on-campus housing program.

Bruce Johnston, assistant dean of students, gave several reasons why the cottages were bought. He stated that the cottages were purchased because of their property and their advantages. He cited their popularity with students, their ability to change from male to female housing sites with changes in the male/female ratio, and their easy disposability compared to large dor-mitories.

With the renovation of Voorhees, the purchase of these cottages, and the present abundance of empty spaces, Administration members do not feel a housing surplus will be created. Even though a surplus exists at present, ad-ministrators are quick to point out that during the second semester there is usually a decline in on-campus residency. In fact, Bill Anderson, vice president for business and finance, commented that there was virtually 99 percent occupancy during the first semester and pointed to a necessity to plan housing according to first semester needs.

Administration mmembers feel that

the new rooms created will provide for greater flexibility in housing. The triple rooms in Dykstra and some cottages will be gradually phased out and the College will be able to offer more single rooms and a greater number of study rooms. The new rooms will also allow for elimination of some of the other cottages. Mandeville Cottage and possibly Crispell Cottage will eventually be torn down in accordance with the 12th Street project plans. There are also plans for elimination of the old Knickerbocker Cottage at 43 E. 13th Street, Poll House at 34 E. 14th Street, and Reese Cottage at 65 E. 9th Street. These cottages would be sold because "the big old houses are difficult to maintain, are far away from campus, and are not worth putting money into," stated Anderson.

While enrollment is expected to stabilize or slightly decline in the mid-1980s, the number of students living on campus is expected to stay the same or perhaps even increase. "Each year more students choose to live on campus than in the past, necessitating increased housing," explained Anderson. "In the fall of 1979, enrollment was slightly down, yet there were more students living on campus than previously."

Student congress minutes Student Congress met Feb. 6* The

meeting was called to order at 10:10 p.m. with 18 members present. President Jon Schmidt stated that members with three unexcused absences, according to the constitution, could be expeUed and that there were some members who were affected by this and that appropriate action would be forthcoming.

A report was then given on the parking lot problem. With a substantial raise in the cost of renting Siberia parking lot land, the school has not yet decided who will absorb the cost, the College or the students who own cars. The question of whether faculty should be required to pay a parking fee was raised. A Parking Judicial Board is being formed to handle complaints from the. students about parking.

A letter was received from the General Senate of the Reformed Church of America inviting two representatives of Student Congress to attend their con-vention next summer in New York.

TTie Academic Affairs Board reported that they were considering the question of

whether to give internships as well as the present salaries to Milestone and onchor editors.

A report on the telephone problem was given, stating that estimates were now being made concerning the cost of ad-ditional lines.

Administrative Affairs gave the go-ahead to cancelling classes for the Critical Issues Symposium of March 13 and making Tuesday, March Uth, of-ficially a Thursday. The new schedule for the symposium was then presented, and discussion on how to get the campus' opinion was held.

Saga Food Committee offered alter-natives to the present meal system as a possibility for raising the quality of the food. Plants and artwork are going to be added to dress up the cafeteria.

A vote was held for the opportunity to apply for an American Education Service leadership scholarship. Matt Van-derMolen was selected. The meeting was then closed. It was decided that a meeting the following week was necessary.

author, and teacher, will be the featured on Saturday, Feb. 16, from 9 a.m. to 4 speaker at a music and worship workshop p.m. to be held on the campuses of Western The workshop is being sponsored by the

Worship Commission of the Reformed Church in America in cooperation with Hope and Western Theological Seminary. It is designed to appeal to ministers and leaders of worship, organists, and choir directors.

Sarah Schendel, after working in Hope's Counselling Center for six and a half years (since autumn, 1973), resigned her position last spring to attend the University of Michigan's Graduate School for social work. A search for a new person by the college was unsuccessful, ' i t is such a crucial job," said Dave Vanderwel, and "you want to make sure you find the right person."

As the fall semester of 1979 grew closer and Sarah's position was left vacant, the college felt it was necessary to contact Dr. Darell J. Schregardus, who has a PhD in psychology.

Dr. Schregardus agreed to accept the job temporarily and at present he and Joyce Hanlon are providing services on a part-time basis. Dr. Schregardus has

taught psychology at the University of California, the Comsumnes River College and has also worked with the Student Counselling Service at the University of Illinois at Chicago Circle .Joyce Hanlon has a Master's degree in Nursing.

Schregardus emphasized that both he and Hanlon are available for individual consultation and went on to explain that there are also various workshops being set up with the Chaplain's office and Head Residents. They also have the authority to give both vocational and psychological tests.

Schregardus, who looks upon the center as 4ta place to build skills," feels that "people have an unrealistic attitude in assuming that we should have all the answers in this area ." He went on to say, "we feel no hesitancy in consulting a specialist in such areas as taxes and architecture, why should we feel any different about seeing someone for other areas of our personal lives."

Thus far, the pair have worked out well. "We feel good about the team. They have added new dimensions, devoting them-selves wholeheartedly to making both a professional and personal committment, which is so important to people." stated Dave VanderWel.

However, Dr. Schregardus and his associates are only temporary and a

Easy come, easy go After several years of a

moderate to high attrition rate, Hope is finally beginning to wonder what exactly is going wrong. According to the statistics, the problem of in-creasing attrition has existed for quite a few years now, but onlv recently (this year) has a task force been set up to investigate the matter. Perhaps just as amazingly, the school could not believe that the rate was so high until survey results were

released. Perhaps the school's lack of hnowledge concerning the issue of attrition is one of the surest symptoms of a growing problem here at Hope, students who simply do not care to return and a college that hasn't bothered to wonder why.

Several reasons, may account for this growing problem. One of the most common reasons among students for not coming back to the motherland is that they don't quite know what they want from college, they feel uncomfortable or slightly confused avout their goals. Hope does not, it seems, help the student out of this dilema. Of course, there are academic advisors for the student to visit. Through these kindly folk the wayward student can learn much about what courses he of she needs to graduate, or what must be taken in order to prepare for a certain field of training. The problem, though, does not seem to begin with what to take, by rather with why should the student take the course in the first place.

To help this problem, perhaps the college should set up a group

of guidence counsellors who will help the student find out a) whether college is actually the right path to follow (and many times the student may find it is not), and b) what goals the student really wnats to achieve through a college education.

A second problem among students is that they come here only to find that college is not for them. This is largely due to the common belief that after high school, college is the next natural step-like going from junior high to high school.

A slightly unorthodox proposal would be for the school to allow delayed admissions. Under delayed admissions, a student could enroll for college, work or wander for a year or so after graduating from high school, and then take up college if that still seems like the right path. The point of this proposal is that a student would not only have a chance to mature, but also to reflect upon the actual choice of whether to attend college at all. True, the school may lose some of their prospective students, byt more than likely, the students who cool off for a year will make a stronger commitment than the others.

The last thing to recommend is that Hope not worry quite so much about whether the high school Senior choses this campus, but rather that the student has as

{|ood an idea about what Hope is ike as possible. This would in-

crease Hope's humility just a little, to admit that the school is capable of some serious drawbacks which accompany its benefits. If one department is not so great, why pretend that It is.

In short, pressure may get a student for a semester, but as the old saying has it, "easy come easy go."

Signs of Hope or Signs of Propaganda? Lights, camera, action-the

premiere of Hope's new propaganda film. Signs of Hope, occasioned a great deal of speechmaking, a chicken kiev dinner for hundreds of guests (appropriately clad in suits and dresses), and three hours of dedication and other such humdrum ado. All this for 18 minutes of film.

As could be expected, the film is pure propaganda. This is perfectly natural and human; after all, it would be silly to spend over $15,000 to exhibit to the world the seedy side of Hope College (what? you mean there's a seedy side to Hope College?). *

What might be seen as ob-jectionable is the way the film was, during its production, and is, in its finished presentation, being manipulated to serve the financial interests of a college which ought to stress truth above its own monetary gains.

The film's stated purpose from its conception was to thank Hope donors (translation: ask for more money), to share with interested people the goals and concerns of Hope (translation: ask for money), and convey Hope's distinct personality and tradition (translation; recruit students).

Who are they fooling, after all? At the dedication dinner President Van Wylen stated that Hope generally tries to de-emphasize financial donations, just before he passed out donacion pledge forms. Face it, we're out to show Hope in the best possible light because we need money and students to keep the place going.

The film, therefore, was un-derstandably hyper-positive. That's not the problem; the problem lies in the movie's portrayal of life at Hope. Many, if not most, of the scenes were set

up, as will be attested to by student participants (nouveau actors) all over campus. Thus, these scenes portray an image of Hope which is not so much fac-tual as it is an idealized picture of collegiate life.One of the goals of the movie, supposedly, was to give the audience what they want to see, and that's precisely what they've done. It may not be realistic, but it does paint a pretty picture.

As the movie was manipulated during its production, so it is being used now for fund-raising and recruitment purposes, which is also par for the course.

We don't presume to say that the College should neglect its role as a business; it is, however, time to recognize the fact that it is a business. All the pomp and circumstance surrounding the gala premiere of signs of Hope seems a bit overdone; let's Be done with the film already, and get back to business as usual.

U a. o x

by Marti Szilagyi With the unsettling developments in

both Afghanistan and Iran, American foreign policy makers find themselves in a most precarious position. Must the United States risk war against the Soviet Union to prove that it is still the chief world power?

Renze Hoeksema, professor of political science and an authority on both Iran and Pakistan, agrees that America faces a "crucial period." However, he cautions that if Washington a s sumes too belligerent a posture, it may encourage Moscow to keep its forces in Afghanistan. The Kremlin will push as far as it can to challenge America's will. Hoeksema had no doubts that the Russians would quell Afghanistan. The country is under the firm control of a pro-Soviet government. He also expressed the hope that the United States will not have to resort to military action.

Hoeksema observed that America's record in Afghanistan has not been an impressive one. Under the Truman Doctrine, the United States refused to send the now-deposed King of Afghanistan arms because of a promise we made to Afghanistan's neighbor, Pakistan. The two countries have been constant enemies. In fact, from 1961-1963, Afghanistan closed her borders to Pakistan. Coups seem to characterize the modern history of third world nations. In

1973, the King of Afghanistan was overthrown and subsequently replaced by his own Prime Minister, Daoud. The new leader declared that his country would be non-aligned, but his sentiments leaned toward the Soviet Union. Washington said nothing. In 1978, when three Communists overthrew Daoud, Washington again raised no objections. Afghanistan simply was not of vital interest to the United States. Because of the lack of concern, Afghanistan naturally turned to the Soviet Union for its weaponry. In turn, Moscow was free to extend its Brezhnev Doctrine.

Suddenly, events that the United States had not anticipated erupted. Soviet forces entered Afghanistan on Dec. 25 and the Marxist leader of the Government, Hafiz Ullah Amin, was executed and replaced by Babrak Karmal. With the crisis in I ran , America was par t icular ly vulnerable internationally. The Russian invasion of Afghanistan compounded the American sense of weakness. Washington also began to realize that our interests in the Persian Gulf were threatened.

Hoeksema criticized President Carter for his failure to coordinate a coherent foreign policy. For example, when Soviet troops invaded Angola, the Ad-ministration issued a mild protest and did little else. Russian adventurism con-tinued in Ethiopia and the United States

said nothing. When the Soviets moved a combat brigade into Cuba, Congress expressed worry and individual members threatened not to support the SALT II treaty. Carter vaccilated for a while and then decided to forget about the Soviet combat brigade. Hoeksema cited these examples as proof that Carter has no foresight concerning internat ional relations.

Hoeksema went on to say that part of Carter's problem can be attributed to the rift between the State Department and the National Security Council. Secretary of State Cyrus Vance gives Carter one piece of advice and National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brezinski tells the President something else. Vance tends to be more conciliatory and diplomatic in his approach, while Brezinski takes a hawkish stand. In other words, the questions remain as to who really makes American foreign policy. Hoeksema called Vance "a good man" and ,4a skilled negotiator." He would like to see Vance stay.

Hoeksema also brings Carter's human rights policy under fire for the Afghanistan and Iran affairs. The. President blasted the Soviet Union for its flagrant violation of human rights; now he wants to align the United States with Pakistan. Despite the promises President Mohammed Zia ul-Haq made to the Pakistani people 18 months ago, he has yet to lift the oppressive martial law imposed upon the country. Zia is no champion of human rights. Hoeksema questioned the morality of that move, but he also realizes that Zia may be Washington's only alternative right now. He said that the proper manner in which to handle human rights would be to pressure other regimes quietly and fir-mly. Carter has backed away from his original position because he cannot en-force such a virtue. Hoeksema put it bluntly: "If you can't extend human rights worldwide, then shut up!"

Hoeksema observed that in that area of the world, the United States would be at a disadvantage in event of war. If, for instance, one of the militants at the American Embassy in Tehran shot one of the hostages, we would retaliate. However, the Soviet Union might be in more of a position to move in first. Russia, of course, has a strategic ad-

vantage because of its geographical proximity and its general familiarity with the area. Hoeksema speculated that if the crisis in Iran is resolved peacefully through negotiation, the United States would probably sever diplomatic relations with Iran for awhile, but that we would eventually deal with Ayatollah Khomeini again. Most of all, Hoeksema urged patience on America's part.

Hoeksema mentioned that Pakistan's Zia could hold the Soviets at bay by in-creasing his popularity among his own people. The map indicates that Moscow would have much to gain by marching in on Pakistan as it is a route to the Arabian Sea. Secondly, Russia could enter Iran and seize control of the Persian Gulf via Pakistan.

It has become apparent over the last few years that Western Europe's con-fidence in the United States has dwindled somewhat. Britain has been America's only steadfast ally throughout this period of upheaval. Hoeksema, however, does not blame the Europeans for their reluctance to back the American Government more vigorously. He said they are "smar t . " The majority of Western Europe's leaders perceive Carter's lack of credibility abroad. They view him as gullible for believing anything the Russians promise him. When the Russians have taunted Carter with their military interventions, he has issued tough warnings and done nothing to follow through with the rhetoric. Western Europe knows all too well that Moscow interprets this gullibility and lack of finesse as a open invitation for them to continue with their ex-pansionism. Hoeksema still believes, however, that our Western allies would come to our aid in the event of a full-scale war. Still, they refuse to "dance to the Soviet tune."

Hoeksema is unimpressed with Car-ter's grain embargo and his decision to withdraw the United States' participation in this summer's Olympic games to be held in Moscow. He commented that the embargo "would only hurt the farmers in this country and those who work the land in Russia." He added that although pulling out of the Olympics is "easy and tangible" it should take a low spot on America's list of priorities. Those priorities include a strong military, a stable economy, a comprehensive, firm foreign policy, and moral as well as spiritual resolve here at home. Although he does not favor military agression whenever other nations test our will, Hoeksema is not advocating ap-peasement. If America cam pull itself together, that should be enough of an indication to Moscow that America will not tolerate Soviet imperialism.

When asked whether he favored reinstating the draft, Hoeksema replied that "We may well have to go back to the draft to get quality people." Certainly, he feels, registration is in order. The more sophist icated American weaponry becomes, the more sophisticated the enlisted men must be to operate them. What about women? He opposes sending women to the front lines. He said, "Call it remnants of chivalry if you wish." Secondly, women would probably not be as efficient a fighting force as would men. They would have to be protected. "There is a difference," stated Hoeksema.

Hoeksema stressed that, "This country is worth defending."

In other words , it had been 11 y e a r s and

Cap ta in Loren Schro tenboer , in his last g a m e ever aga ins t the Knights , wasn ' t

the leading s co re r a s he only totaled four

points . He did. however , do an out-

s t a n d i n g job in every o ther aspec t of the

the l eague ' s l ead ing s c o r e r , to 12 points

and 5 r ebounds while he has been

Tom Vander Stal c a m e off the bench to

sco re 4 points. More impor t an t l y he

Dale Wolfe, a l so a sub. s ank two

b a s k e t s r ight a t the end of the half to give

Hope a 16 point lead ins tead of one of 12

points . He a l so sank a baske t and two f r e e

within f ive to give the O r a n g e and Blue

m o r e of a cushion. Wolfe f in ished the night with 8 points .

throughout the en t i r e f i r s t half and tha t helped set the t empo for the en t i r e con-

test. Af te r Hope had i nc r ea sed the l ead to

The win put Hope a n d Calvin a top t h e MIAA baske tba l l s t a n d i n g s wi th one loss each .

One a spec t of the g a m e which will be

felt by the hoops te rs for the r e s t of the

season is the loss of g u a r d J o h n Sutton. Sutton fell on his wrist while go ing a f t e r a

Coach views season m zu:

by Tim Taylor The following are excerpts from an

interview with coach Glenn Van Wieren, who is in his third year at the helm of the Hope basketball team;

Could you tell me your feelings, looking back at the Calvin game?

Well, most of all I-was happy for the guys. It was just like the old days with the large crowds and a noisy Civic Center. 1 had forgotten how loud that place can get and how hard it is to give instructions when it is noisy'

What do you think made the difference in the game?

It would have to be the intensity of the defense. The guys were playing with such enthusiasm. Another big factor was the loss to Calvin at their place earlier in the season. The guys were down after the game and I told them that I thought that we could be 5-1 (in the league) and if we were then they would leave our place with a loss.

Was there post-Calvin letdown when you played Albion on Saturday?

Emotionally. Anytime you play in a situation such as the Calvin game there has to be. We did go out and play our game plan and we executed very well so the letdown wasn't much of a problem. John Vande Gutche took a lot of the pressure off with the way that he played point guard.

Just what will the loss of Sutton mean to your team for the rest of the season?

Quickness, leadership, and ballhan-

dling. John has been just fantastic for us this season-his performance, his at-titude, everything. We're just fortunate to have a person like John Vande Gutche to fill in.

What does this season mean to you? You started with a good season (11-10) and then last year disaster struck. Has this given you more confidence in yourself as a coach?

This season has been very gratifying for me personally. After last season 1 spent a lot of time over the summer thinking about what we were going to do this year. I never doubted my ability as a coach; rather, last year made me work at my job a lot harder-it was a real ex-perience.

What would you say are the big difference between this year's squad and last year's?

The main two things are quickness and rebounding. We got both Sutton and Scott Benson back this year and we are able to do more things with our offense than we were last season. We also have been able to control the boards. We have only been outrebounded once this season and that was by Calvin at their place. Also, we have more experience than we did last season. Loren Schrotenboer has done a super job giving leadership. He has been meeting with me quite a bit and 1 just can't say enough about the job he has done.

The last major factor has to be our concentration in practice. We have been able to concentrate and thus we are able to get done what needs to be done.

Women floating to top Hope's women's swim team improved

their overall record to 9-1 as they beat St. Mary's, Alma, and Adrian Colleges in last week s swimming competition.

Last Wednesday the orange and blue ladies bombed St. Mary's 92-38 and sank Alma 82-49 as they went on to break four school records.

Figuring in on the record-breaking times were Nancy VandeWater in the 500-yard freestyle, and Joan Wilterdink in the 50-yard breaststroke.

Ann Stone established two school records in the 50-yard freestyle and the 100-yard butterfly.

Saturday the ladies forced a showdown between themselves and Albion by defeating Adrian, 64-53.

After Saturday, both Albion's and Hope's women's swimming teams were undefeated in MIAA dual meet com-petition.

The winner of Wednesday's Hope-Albion match will become the MIAA champions in dual meet competition.

Calvin upset Knighties cover Dutch (continued from p. 7)

Flying Dutchmen pulled out to a lead which fluctuated between 6 and 10 points.

A starting dunk by 5'10" Gary Nichols of Albion closed the gap to two. 48^6, with 12-5 over aD.

Hope shot a hot 51% from the field while Albion could only manage 35%.

Benson led Hope in scoring with 24 points while Matt Nell contributd 14.

Hope will play Aquinas Saturday in a non-conference game as they will try to average a 64-61 defeat which Aquinas handed the Dutch in overtime earlier in the season.

The Hope women's basketball team once again had an up and down week as they split a pair of decisions. The loss was at the hands of Calvin as the Knighties were able to avenge a loss to the Dutch in the first game of the season 67-53.

The big difference in the game was the shooting percentage of the squads as Hope could only hit 34% from the field while Calvin hit at a 41% pace.

Jody Foy led Hope in scoring with 12 points while Lora Hanson had 10. Anne Mulder had 18 rebounds and 8 points.

A 56-45 Winter Homecoming victory over Olivet Saturday enabled the lady cagers to take over possession of third place in the MIAA.

In the game, Mulder set a new league mark as she hauled down 24 rebounds.

Faye Berens led the Dutch in scoring as she hit seven field goals and two free throws for 16. Foy, Mulder, and Hanson followed with 13,11, and 10 respectively.

The win gave the women a 5-4 league record and a 6-7 slate in all games. The women will play at Alma tonight at 7 p.m.
