Security on Campus to Improve By Eric Shotwell anchor News Editor

With this past year's problems w i t h a s s a u l t s and s e x u a l h a r a s s m e n t , t h e S t u d e n t Development Office is initiating work to make the campus more secure, particularly at night.

According to . Phillip Beal, Dean of Student Development, a "study committee" that was assigned to task of examining the question of lighting and safety around campus has finished its w o r k , a n d h a s m a d e i t s r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s t o t h e Administration.

"Particularly in the area of lighting, there's going to be a great deal of work done," said Beal. "Some, in fact, is already under way. By March 18, we expect to have most of the suggestions regarding improved lighting begun. They may not all be comple ted , but w e are installing new lighting in places (around campus) that were identified as being dark."

The new lights are intended to be placed both within the campus and on the fringes of campus, in such places as 14th Street and College Avenue. In addition, the college has apparently spoken with the Holland City Council to

ask them to look at the lighting on the streets surrounding the campus. Also, Dean Beal stated that floodlights will be installed in the front of many of the cottages around campus, also for security reasons.

In addition to the new lighting, Dean Beal said he hoped to install a series of emergency phones around c a m p u s , for students to use if necessary. Sites for the e m e r g e n c y p h o n e s include such places as the Pine Grove and the Siberia parking lot, and also one in DeWitt Center and the Maas-Phelps connecting hallway.

Lastly, a "monitor s y s t e m " is going to be implemented in the

dormitories housing women, somewhat similar to the system currently in effect in the Dow Center, where s tudents are supposedly required to show their i.d.'s to enter. The system has already begun in Dykstra Hall, and Dean Beal s tates that "there are a lot of schools already doing this." He says he hopes to get responses and reactions from students as to how well this new system works.

A l t h o u g h t h e l i g h t i n g , emergency phones, and the new monitor system undoubtedly add a m a r g i n of s a f e t y , Bea l expressed the view that it's people, and not safety devices,

that keep things like the a s sau l t s from happening.

"Although it's certainly not always the case , I'm aware that some people come back from off-campus intoxicated, and this m a k e s t h e m p a r t i c u l a r l y vulnerable to attack," he said. "Maybe at that time, their own safety is of no concern to them, but they ought to be made aware of the fact that assailants look for people who are less likely to give them a fight. Only when we all work together to keep these things from happening can we achieve the kind of security we need to have here at Hope."

Critical Issues Keynote Speeches Informative By David Lambert

This year's Critical Issues Symposium proved to be a feast of w o r d s a n d i d e a s . On Wednesday, March 2, Dr. Ralph Reed began the day's activities with the 8:30 a.m. Keynote address.

Dr. R e e d is the D e p u t y Assistant Secretary for Health in the United States Department of Health and Human Services.

Dr. Reed started his speech by saying that he had a speech that had been written for him, but when he saw the size of the chapel and the crowd that had gathered there for the previous night's keynote, he decided that he would discard his written speech and would tell about the D e p a r t m e n t of Hea l th and Human Services, and would tell about his past history.

In the speech, he sketched his humble beginnings as a small town doctor in Kansas, extolled the virutes of a liberal arts education for those in the

m e d i c a l p r o f e s s i o n , a n d intimated that he had become interested in alternate means of health care delivery f ive years ago. In short, the Keynote speech was relatively boring.

On the other hand, the 9:45 a.m. focus session in the Maas Auditorium w a s much more thought provoking. There, Terry Weisser gave an impassioned address entitled "AIDS From a Personal Perspect ive ." Weiser began by asking the rather large audience to close their eyes , and imagine that they had AIDS, as he filled in the graphic details.

Then, he told them that he had become involved in AIDS after his lover had died from it in 1984. Since then, he has c o m e to believe that there is a reason for AIDS: AIDS, in his view, is bringing people together, forcing patients and those who relate to them to rethink their life, a process which brings healing.

Al l i l l n e s s , h e s a i d , i s representative of the fact that something is wrong in the sick

person's life. Thus, healing is not only physical , but spiritual. People with AIDS "know what life is about," Weisser asserted. Thus, even if they are not healed physical ly , they are healed spiritually before they die. What is important is for us to open our hearts. "If we do that," Weisser said, "life will be beautiful ."

While Weisser's session was devoted to matters of the heart, Stanley Hauerwas's Keynote at 11 a.m. was more intellectual. Hauerwas, who is a Ph.D. in Theological Eth ics at Duke University Divinity School, gave a speech of incredible intensity. He began by reading a letter to Ann Landers which asked how God could be good if He allowed children to suffer and die.

In the lecture that followed. Dr. H a u e r w a s showed how timely such a question is. The question of evil did not plague the e a r l y Chr i s t ian c o m m u n i t y because early Christians were persecuted by the government, and had no part of its working. Evil was seen as external.

This changed as Christians began to acquire power in the pol i t ica l s y s t e m . Once the Emperor became a Christian, evil became something that was internal. The question of evil c h a n g e d f rom a p r a c t i c a l question — what must I do to avoid getting fed to the dogs? — to a philosophical one; what must I do to eradicate evil from my community?

To combat evil, the church developed the view that there was a cause-effect relationship b e t w e e n a c t i o n s and the ir results.

Another school of thought which affected the church, and thus society, was that of the E n l i g h t e n m e n t p h i l o s o p h e r s , who taught that the autonomy of the self is the ultimate freedom.

Modern meicine is one of the

results of the intertwining of these two schools of thought, combined with the ascent of t e c h n o l o g y . N o w , s a i d Dr. Hauerwas, we believe that evil is something that can be controlled by s i m p l y d i a g n o s i n g and treating it. Since we believe that the individual is all-important, the costs to society in saving his life are unimportant.

Dr. Hauerwas argued strongly against our current notion that compassion constrains us to do all w e can for the patient. Ultimately, he said, suffering is the result of compassion when compassion is combined with modern medical technology.

Despite the depth of Dr. H a u e r w a s s p e e c h , it w a s nonetheless one of the more i n t e r e s t i n g C r i t i c a l I s s u e s Sessions.

Tanis Publishes 3rd Edition of Statistics Text

Core Under Revision

by Academic Affairs

T h e t h i r d e d i t i o n o f "Probabi l i ty and Stat i s t i ca l Inference" by Dr. Elliot Tanis of Hope College and Dr. Robert Hogg of the University of Iowa has been recently released by MacMillan Publishing Co. of New York City.

F i r s t p u b l i s h e d in 1977, "Probabi l i ty and Stat i s t i ca l Inference" is designed with no previous study of s tat i s t ics assumed and with a standard course in calculus as adequate mathematical background. In the book's 11 years of existance, it has been used at more than 200

colleges and universities across the country.

Though the book's approach to teaching statistics has remained much the same, Tanis and Hogg used a m o r e da ta -or i en ted approach in the new edition. Throughout the text, many more figures, graphical analyses, and real applications have been a d d e d t o h e l p s t u d e n t s understand statistics and what s t a t i s t i c a l m e t h o d s c a n accomplish. More problems have also been added; many of which are based on data submitted by Hope students and faculty.

In total, the two authors added 125 pages, including three new chapter sections, to "Probability and Statistical Inference."

The field of stratist ics is Dr. Tanis' specialty. In 1987, he authored two books for Harcourt Brace Jovanovich Publisher of San D i e g o , C a l i f , e n t i t l e d ^ S t a t i s t i c s I: D e s c r i p t i v e Statistics and Probability" and Statistics II: Est imation and Tests of Hypotheses."

A 1956 graduate of Central C o l l e g e , T a n i s e a r n e d h i s master's and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Iowa where he studied under Dr. Hogg. He has been a Hope faculty m e m b e r since 1965.

Dr. George Ralph, Academic Affairs Board chairman, said that the revision of the objectives of the core curriculum at Hope has been going slow after the initial start last August.

At their meet ings in August and after school began, the AAB developed a list of purposes as w e l l a s a l i s t of s t u d e n t e x p e r i e n c e s that should be included in core classes, such as the Critical Issues Symposium.

The AAB has decided to have an evening meet ing in early April. If possible, they will look again at their list of purposes as well as their list of student e x p e r i e n c e s to d e c i d e if add i t i ona l m o d i f i c a t i o n s or deletions should be made.

Up until now the AAB has made these lists without looking at the existing core. After they

make the final decisions on the list, they will look at the present core to see if it measures up to these standards. The present core m a y be fine as it is, or it may need some reworking.

While reworking the objectives of curriculum, the AAB c a m e across a document entitled "The Philosophy of Education at Hope College." The board also worked on revising this and decided that it should be included in the college catalog as it was not there before.

The AAB chose, to revise the philosophy of education because they want to come to the core from some starting position. The present philosophy has a few problems with clarity and some terms ar gender-exclusive.

Revisions were last done in 1978. The AABthinks that it is t ime to revise again and are taking great care in this process. This, in turn, takes time. .

Two Actives 'Blow the Whistle'

On Arcadian Pledging By Brian Breen anchor Editor

The second fraternity in less than a year has been suspended on campus , e s c a l a t i n g the serious concerns among the Hope a d m i n i s t r a t i o n , and members of the hazed and dazed Greek system.

On Thursday, March 3, the A r c a d i a n f r a t e r n i t y w a s suspended indefinitely, after two a c t i v e m e m b e r s w e n t to administrators and reported acts of hazing. The disciplinary action was a result of subsequent pledging violations and incidents t h a t w e r e t e r m e d 4 4 l i f e -threatening" by the Student Development staff.

W h i l e s u s p e n d e d , t h e Arcadians are prohibited from w e a r i n g co lors , d i s p l a y i n g letters, using campus resources and services, and meeting as a group.

Last August, the Fraternal Society was suspended for pledging violations.

A memo last week from Phillip Beal, Dean of Students, to P r o v o s t J a c o b N y e n h u i s , outlined seven charges of hazing against the Arcadians. They included numerous "bi tch" sessions, the consumption of

alcohol by both pledges and actives, and humiliation during a "slave auction" where pledges had to perform mock sexual acts on a sheet of plastic.

The most serious infraction occured on Friday, Feb. 26 during a pledging event off campus. According to the memo", pledges were made to run down the Mt. Baldy dune in Saugatuck three times, resulting in extreme exhaustion. They were then driven to a wooded area in Allegan and abandoned.

However, during the drive to Allegan, one vehicle had no active members present, only fraternity alumni. These alumni members were intoxicated and t h e d r i v e r h a d s m o k e d marijuana. Drinking had also taken place by a number of actives.

"(The college's) legal and moral responsibilities required us to take prompt action, once we were informed of the violations," said Provost Jacob Nyenhuis, in a letter to the faculty. He also i n d i c a t e d t h a t a l l G r e e k organizations had been placed on a warning status.

The Provost is acting for President John Jacobson, who is on a two-week vacation in Hawaii.

Nyenhuis and members of the controversial Greek Judicial Forum met on Monday afternoon to advise each other on the situation, Details of that meeting have not been released, but according to Beal the fraternity has requested an appeal.

While rumors of the suspension h a v e t r a v e l e d e x t e n s i v e l y around campus, neither Bruce King, D i r e c t o r of S tudent A c t i v i t i e s , or Je f f B e i r d , Arcadian President, felt they s h o u l d m a k e a n y p u b l i c statements at this time. Both declined comment on Monday.

Yesterday afternoon, another meeting was held in the Dean's office regarding the suspension. Representatives of the Arcadian f r a t e r n i t y i n c l u d e d P l e d g e m a s t e r J a c k H a a n , Pledgemaster Steve Christos, former faculty advisor Gerard V a n H e e s t a n d C u r t i s Blankespoor. Beal and King were also present.

Sources indicated that the meeting centered around plans for the fraternity to retain their pledge class. However, there have been reports that Dean Beal and the senior administrative staff are strongly against the idea.

Callahan Speaks on Changes In Medicine By Geoff Penrose anchor Stuff Writer

M o d e r n b i o - m e d 1 c a I capabilities have produced and a r e p r o d u c i n g a s e t of fundamental ethical and moral problems for today's society, according i<> the opening speaker at last week's Critical Issues Symposium.

Daniel Callahan, Ph.D., co-founder and director of the H a s t i n g s Center , Br iarc l i f f Manor, New York, speaking beofre approximately 400 people in D i m n e n t C h a p e l l a s t Wednesday, said that "medicine and b io m e d i c s c o n s t a n t l y change and constantly throw before us new problems."

Perhaps the greatest d i lemma is the q u e s t i o n of pat ient autonomy. The idea that the patient has a right to decide what to do with his body originated as late as the HKUVs. according to Callahan.

It was at that time it became accepted that "perhaps it would be appropriate. In fact morally correct, to attain consent ," according to Callahan.

Another m a j o r t h e m e in m o d e m medical morals is that of quality of life.

"At what point does It become h a r m f u l t o s o m e o n e t o aggressively keep him alive through the m e a n s of bio-medical technology?" queried Callahan.

The quality of life question also br ings up the p r o b l e m of Intervention Into human nature. Blo-medlcal technologies have

K made it possible to transcend the human nature.

"We can make fundamental interventions into human nature to modify that nature," Callahan said. "We have done all kinds of things to people's bodies for the sake of their health."

The question, according to Callahan, is now that we are delving Into the most basic unit of human nature, the gene, how can we determine when we have gone too far?

Dr. Daniel Cal lahan

Looking to the future, Callahan sees two major problems on the h o r i z o n , t h a t of p e o p l e ' s expectations of medicine, and that of allocation of resources.

Callahan noted that medicine has moved out of the mode of c a r i n g for peop le into its "primary mode," that of curing p e o p l e . A c c o r d i n g l y , expectations of health care have r isen, p e r h a p s b e y o n d s its current abilities.

"We have put it on a very high

pedestal," Callahan noted, "and it is a pedestal we continue to raise all the t ime."

Allocation of resources is to Callahan the major problem of the future. He notes that the United States spends $500 billion a year on health care, 11.1 percent of the Gross National Product, and it is escalat ing constantly. There is a projected possibility of running out of social security in the 1990's.

With these facts in mind.

Callahan thinks there is a real need to create a "decent and

ra t iona l b a l a n c e " b e t w e e n health care needs and spending. This includes placing limits on amounts spent per person, as well as on a national level.

"How are we going to decide," posed Callahan, "in the face of potential f inancial restraints when enough is enougn?"

He also noted that this problem is even harder to resolve because m e d i c i n e i s " i n h e r e n t l y unlimited in its possibilities." This means that we can keep spending money on research and achieve benefits indefinitely. To stop the process of research and development would be against human nature.

Callahan offered little in the way of solutions to the many problems he posed. He did give a few pointers on how to think about them which included asking what our ideals are, what kind of life we want, what is the place of health care in human life, and how much progress do we really want to make.

Most importantly, however, we m u s t c o m t e m p l a t e t h e s e thoughts within the context of society as a whole, not just the medical world.

"It would be unsafe to think of medicine as having somehow s e l f - c o n t a i n e d p r o b l e m s , " Callahan asserted.

Callahan said he was pleased with the fact of a Critical Issues Symposium on medical morals, for the problem can't be escaped and may not be solved.

Colleges Move To Stop Frot Drinking

(CPS) -- Officials at two campuses tried to crack down on fraternity drinking last month, but a West Point cadet alleged he was driven from school because he wouldn't engage in practices other campuses define as hazing.

T h i r d - y e a r c a d e t J o h n Edwards said U.S. Military Academy officials dismissed him from school because he wouldn't participate in the "humiliating and degrading" hazing of West Point freshmen.

West Point spokesman Maj.

Bruce K. Bell, while refusing to talk about Edwards specifically, said the "Fourth Class System" Edwards refused to participate in was specificaly designed to teach cadets how to be leaders.

Rutgers University President E d w a r d J . B l o u s t e i n , meanwhile, on Feb. 15 banned all fraternity and sorority parties after James C. Callahan, 18, died during a Lambda Chi Alpha hazing session.

Bloustein also said he'd try to get Lambda Chi Alpha, which

reportedly forced all its pledges to "drink 'til you're sick" at a Feb. 12 hazing, kicked off the New Brunswick, N.J., campus.

Debate Over Censorship of Newspaper

(CPS) - The recent U.S. Supreme Court decision giving high school principals more control over student papers has emboldened at least one college administrator to threaten to try to put a col lege newspaper under control.

Edward A. Wagner, chairman of the Board of Governors of Pima Community College in Tucson, Arizona, called for P i m a a d m i n i s t r a t o r s to put the college's newspaper "back on the right track."

T h e c o u r t , h o w e v e r , specif ical ly excluded col lege papers from its January ruling, which said school officials could "regulate the content" of high school papers run as for-credit courses just as they can regulate the content of other c lasses offered in the schools.

The decision already has led officials at high schools in Iowa

City, I A., and Cupertino, Cal., to try to censor stories out of their s t u d e n t p a p e r s . At P i m a , Wagner seemed to regret trying to apply the decision to his campus almost as soon as he proposed it.

"What am I saying?" he continued. "I don't want to get into the censoring business."

At least one other board member agreed. Wagner, said Mark W e b b , i s t r y i n g to "intimidate" the paper. "The Aztec Press should be published without interference of any kind," he said.

Wagner said the Aztec Press , P i m a ' s s t u d e n t n e w s p a p e r , needs greater guidance from school o f f i c i a l s b e c a u s e of " s h o d d y r e p o r t i n g .

Groups Hit It Off In G.R. By David Lambert anchor Writer

"Do all of you know what buttock tucks are?" were the first words out of the mouths of the C h e n i l l e s i s t e r s , w h o performed with the bluegrass band Dry Branch Fire Squad, In Grand Rapids, last Saturday, March 5.

During the performance that followed, the Chenilles — Cheryl Dawdy, Connie Huber and Grace Morand — Invoked the spirits of Mitch Miller, the Boswell Sisters, t h e B a n g l e s , a n d B r u c e Springsteen.

The dominant spirit. If there was one, was Christine Lavln, a Greenwich Village folkle whose style was described as "cutesy-wootsey" by a friend of mine who accompanied me to one of her concer t s . More a c c u r a t e l y , Lavln's songs are written from

her Ironic lemlnlne viewpoint. While the Chenille's style

sometimes seemed dangerously close to cutesy-wootsey, their sense of humor saved them. At various times, they played a toy xylophone, an empty oatmeal box with an Ice cream scoop In concert with a jar of Paul Newman's popcorn, a toilet plunger, and a pair of scissors a l o n g w i t h a c o m b a n d hairbrush. These last Items were used In their Bangles parody "Walk Like A Beautician," accompanied by the original motions.

The Chenille Sisters were also saved from cutesy-wootslness because It was evident that there was soul behind the laughter. The only straight song they played was about an old woman in a nurs ing h o m e whose remembrance of her long dead son was brought back by his gift

of plastic roses "the kind that never fade." It was one of those rare songs that reminds one of the uncertainty and pain of life, while affirming what it means to be human.

When they finished their last number, a rave-up of Bruce Springsteen's "Pink Cadillac," performed In nylon net scarves and c o o l s u n g l a s s e s , the a u d i e n c e w a s p r a c t i c a l l y levitated from their seats in a wildly enthus iast ic s tanding o v a t i o n . T h e C h e n i l l e s capitulated with two encores, one of w h i c h t h a n k e d L u d w i g VanBeethoven for his catchiest riff — the first four notes of the Fifth Symphony.

The Chenille Sisters were a hard act to follow. When Dry Branch Fire Squad hit the stage, it was hard not to expect s o m e t h i n g s p e c t a c u l a r l y incandescent.

Instead, there was only a f ive p i e c e b l u e g r a s s band who p r o f e r r e d a p h i l o s o p h y of aggressive ignorance. Actually, the onliest part isn't fair, because this was a fine bluegrass band who could pick with the best of them. They were also purty funny In their own pecular way.

When it came time to Introduce the band, they shook hands all around. Rom Thomason, the group's spokesman, supplied between song patter like "My uncle Wally was an atheist, and for years I thought that meant that he could throw the ball with either hand." In between, they played some great tunes in which they showed their virtuousity on guitar, banjo, mendolin, fiddle, string bass and in four-part vocal harmony.

Although the double bill was somewhat uneven, this concert had to rank among the best I've

seen. About the only criticism I can think of was that both groups reminded me of the truth of the Hindu philosophy that all life is suffering, and even the fun parts are suffering because they only remind you of how much you suffer.

As the audience filed out of the auditorium, I wondered why the rest of life can't a lways be like a performance of The Chenilles or Dry Branch.

The performance was held in the somewhat baroque Ladies Literary Club auditorium, but the people who sponsored it, the Grand River Folk Arts Society, s p o n s o r s r e g u l a r Sa turday concerts at The Grand Rapids Public Museum. Banshee, an I r i s h fo lk g r o u p wi l l be performing there f tS t t^Uirday .

Greek Conference A Learning Experience By Geoff Penrose anchor Staff Writer

It seems every time I leave Hope, I learn a bit more. It's kinda paradoxical when you think about it, but it's true. The case in point was last weekend when Greek representatives, including myself , from Hope a t t e n d e d a M i d - A m e r i c a n InterFraternity and PanHellenic Council Association conference in St. Louis.

I'll admit that when I was selected as the representative from my fraternity I was quite sure I would learn nothing at the conference; that it would only be a distractive nuisance. To a large e x t e n t , I w a s r i g h t . T h e conference itself w a s relatively worthless, consisting mainly of t o u c h y - f e e l y a n d s l i g h t l y e v a n g e l i c a l o v e r g r o w n adolescents filling us with trite maxims which common sense s h o u l d d i c t a t e : L i v e F o r Tomorrow! Set Goals! Rah-Rah!

However, I wouldn't say I l e a r n e d n o t h i n g f r o m the conference itself. I did pick up a few pointers on motivation. Rush, scholarship and the like. But all that I learned could have been sent to each college with a p a s t e l c o v e r w h i c h r e a d :

"Groovy Ideas For Greeks." So, for me, the conference was a bust. In all fairness, however, other people did get something from it. I guess they are just more perceptive..

From the trip as a whole, however, I learned a great deal, about the Greeks here at Hope, myself, and the world in general.

I think the most obvious, and most superficial, idea I picked up in St. Louis is the fact that national organ iza t ions hate locals. I have yet to figure out if it was hate, envy, or fear, but the q u i c k e s t w a y to e n d a conversation in the elevator with some bronze Venus from Texas Tech was to let her know you were from a local fraternity at Hope. The typical reaction to this was, "Oh. That's nice. I know someone from Michigan.' Then she would turn and intently study either the elevator door or her candy apple red fingernails. So much for cultural exchange.

A more meaningful idea which came to me during one of my m o r e l u c i d m o m e n t s l a s t weekend is the Greeks at Hope need to be more unified. In many ways the weekend was one long Greek Council meeting, and ideas and arguments flew with wonderful regularity. Out of this.

I came to realize we are more alike than different.

Sure, we all are unique, with different goals and attitudes, but at heart we are all Greek and should celebrate our differences, not condemn them in each other.

It's a simple concept, but one I think we all have overlooked. Now, during th is t i m e of a d m i n i s t r a t i v e f r a t e r n i t y -bashing, I think we need unity more than ever; not to change together according to the Greek-extinction oriented wishes of the administration, but to decide what we, the Greeks, want us, the Greeks, to be like.

This brings up another point I picked up at the conference: ours is perhaps the most distant yet overbearing administration in Mid-America. Every time I talked with Greeks from other s c h o o l s a b o u t o u r administration, the invariable response was, "Oh my God! How can you take it?" to which even the most eloquent soliloquy on the benefits of learning in the Christian context fell short. The only other conflict I heard of between an administration and Greeks was concerning the implementation of a dry rush program. The Greeks wanted it.

but the administration would give them no support.

But that's not what I want to write about.

The single most important thing I learned in St. Louis, I thought I already knew: that the stereotypes we have of each Greek organization here at Hope are not really accurate. (If there exists such an animal as an "accurate stereotype.") I had always prided myself with being open-minded, extraordinari ly open-minded. I thought I didn't let a person's Greek affiliation determine how I felt about him or her. Yet, as I traveled the long hours to St. Louis, I found myself dreading having to be with a group of foreigners. There I was, a lone Knickerbocker on the road with a bunch of Cosmos, Arkies, Emersonians, Sibs, Centurians, and other non-Knickerbockers. I really felt alone. So much for my open-mindedness.

While t h e r e , h o w e v e r , I learned and perhaps grew. I was hanging out with a group of great people who only incidentally were Kappa Chis, Delphis , Fraters, and Sigmas. This was most apparent in our many s l u r r e d - w o r d l a t e n i g h t discussions; we were talking

first as people, then as Greeks, although we were usually talking about Greek topics. It Just didn't matter if he was a Frater or she was a Sigma.

(By the way, for those who have not been enlightened yet, the rumors of the Sigmas coating their nude pledges with thrown spaghetti, although disturbingly scintillating, is not true.)

Sure, I learned other things in St. Louis: that "the blues is alright" at Mike & Min's Bar, that $15 does not guarantee a good seat at a great hockey game, how to enjoy Bud Light at $6.25 a pitcher, and how to appreciate non-drinkers among them.

But the most valuable lesson I learned is tolerance, acceptance a n d c e l e b r a t i o n of e a c h f r a t e r n i t y a n d s o r o r i t y ' s i n d i v i d u a l i t y t h r o u g h t h e acceptance of them as people first. Yes, I know it sounds smarmy and, yes, even "touchy-feely," but then a great many of the most valuable lessons in life are.

So, I left the somet imes s t a g n a n t c o n f i n e s of Hope C o l l e g e a n d l e a r n e d . I r e c o m m e n d e v e r y o n e does . Often.

problems and inconvenience are popularly identified with p egnancy,

one rarefy hears of the joys and satisfactions that can be found as well.

For expectant mothers, one delight is to discover how their child is . developing within their body. Some are surprised to learn that long

Poet William Stafford

to Read The OPUS staff is very pleased

to announce that poet William Stafford will be reading in DePree Art Gallery on Tuesday, March 15 at 7 p.m.

"One of the most admired presences on the current poetry scene: handy, shrewd, generous, with a whiff of the metaphysical about him," said one critic. Mr. Stafford is a prolific writer and has won many honors for his writing. Among his awards are: the National Book award, the Shelley Memorial Award, and the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters Award in Literature.

The judges of the National Book Award wrote, "His poems

are both tough and gentle, their music knows the value of silence."

Mr .S ta f ford w a s born in Hutchinson, Kansas 1914 and studied at University of Kansas and University of Iowa. He taught at Lewis and Clark College in Portland Oregon until his retirement. Still living in Portland, Mr. Stafford now travels, reads his work widely and of course is still writing.

In "Writing the Australian Crawl" views on the Writers Vocation, Mr. Stafford writes, "Poetry is the kind of thing you have to see from the corner of your eye ," and "A poem is a serioius joke, a truth that has learned jujitsu."

Hopes Dashed In Tournament By Ben Hanneman anchor Sports Editor

The Division III version of March Madness began and ended for the Dutchmen over the weekend in the Great Lakes Regional tournament at Ohio Wesleyan.

A field of 32 teams was narrowed to a sweet 16 on Friday, which included Hope as they hooked the Muskingum Muskies in an 80-75 thriller.

"Our biggest concern," said iHope coach Glenn Van Wieren in a p r e - t o u r n a m e n t p r e s s c o n f e r e n c e , ' ' i s d e f e n s i v e domination. We can disrupt them as much as they can us. We've also got to get into the ebb and

flow offensively." The Dutchmen entered the

game with a slightly taller lineup, 6'8" versus 6*5" at center. The rest of the team was as tall or taller than the muskies.

" M u s k i n g u m h a s g o o d quickness," Van Wieren added. "They are very physical, but our league has been physical all year long, so we'll be ready."

Indeed the Dutchmen were ready as they jumped out to a lead in the first half and kept it on the strength of stiff defense. The M u s k i e s o u t p l a y e d t h e Dutchmen in a lmost every category but the score. Hope led at the intermission, 36-31.

At the 13:56 mark of the second half the Dutchmen had opened up

a 10 point lead, 47-37, and stretched it to 12 with three minutes remaining.

Free throw shooting lifted the Muskies back into the game as Hope got in foul trouble. 16 of 19 from the charity stripe and three three-pointers cut the lead to single digits as the clock ticked down, but it was not to be for the Muskies.

The win put the Dutchmen into the championship game for the first time since the 1984-85 season when they bowed to Wittenberg 68-32.

O h i o W e s l e y a n , r a n k e d number two in the nation downed Ohio Northern the night in the first round to set up the clash of the titans. The Bishops reigned

victorious in double overtime, 110-107.

Hope seemed on its way as they opened up an early 9-2 lead, but the climb got tougher as Ohio Wesleyan center Lee Rolandson, listed at 6'10" muscled his way for 15 points the first half.

The Dutchmen went outside to play as Jim Klunder, Jack Holman, Eric Elliott, and Greg Mitchell poured in nine three-pointers between them when the inside game didn't materialize.

Wesleyan would take a big lead only to have Hope climb back with stiff defense, key steals, and big baskets. At the end of regulation the score was tied at 91.

Five minutes later the teams were still deadlocked, forcing a second o v e r t i m e . Holman

cashed one just seconds before to force another five minute period.

The Dutchmen seemed to hold the momentum advantage as they edged their way to a 105-102 lead midway through the period, but a Bishop three-pointer on the next possession tied it again.

With ten seconds on the clock the score was — you guessed it — tied again, at 107. Bishop forward Scott Teddor hit the final shot of the game from 25 feet away at the buzzer to clinch the GLCA championship.

Hope finished the year at 19-8.

Motown Should Keep

Stadium Ben J. Hanneman Sports Editor

PARTY with Campus Marketing

YOUR BEST DEAL TO DAYTONA BEACHFRONT HOTELS

i

A lot of speculat ion has surfaced lately about whether the Detroit Tigers should move out of Tiger Stadium or renovate the existing structure.

For the record I am officially throwing in my vote that the Tigers stay in the current stadium and use the money designed for a new stadium to remodle the ballpark.

Tiger Stadium has been a tradition in Detroit since the turn of the century. As Br iggs Stadium in the early 40's it housed the lions when they were legitimate contenders in the NFL.

Briggs Stadium was also the h o m e for t h e 1935 w o r l d champion Tigers as they downed the Cubs in six games. Since then the Tigers have won three pennants, in 1945,1968, and 1984.

To take the Tigers out of Tiger Stadium would go against every tradition in the book. What would Adam be without Eve, or vice versa?

What would ice cream be without the ice?

What would root beer be withough the root? A better drink maybe.

Similarly, what would Detroit be without Tiger Stadium?

Answer: The murder capital of the world and the home of a mediocre football team. Or are they from Pontiac? . Tiger. Stadium .has. become a

r e l i g i o u s i con to b a s e b a l l worshippers everywhere. Take it out of detroit and we'd miss Ernie Harwell's familiar voice with, "If you're anywhere around c'mon out and join us at the corner of Michigan and Trumbull. We've got room and we'd love to have you."

A domed stadium has been proposed elsewhere to which I scream, "NO!".

That would mean putting in artificial turf. Let's face it. You can't grow grass indoors.

Someone famous once said of the change in baseball from artificial turf, "If cows can't eat it I don't want to play on it."

Astro turf turn baseball into a life-sized game of pinball. Just look at the Hubert H. Humphrey H o m e r d o m e . I t ' s the only stadium I know where a bunt single will bounce into the second deck.

One alternative to tearing down a part of the heart of Detroit and of major league baseball would be to purchase the residential property within a two or three block area and turn it into parking lots.

But to take baseball out of Detroit Tiger Stadium would be a shame. Besides, where would the B l e a c h e r Crea tures go for opening day? • Indoors?- • •

N.C.A.A. Threatens Unruly Fans (CPS) -- Tossing a dead

chicken — or even a live one — on the court during a college basketball game now could cost the home team two points.

Hoping to control what it sees as increasingly unruly fans at basketball games across the country, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) announced last month it was empowering referees to get tough with spectators.

Its ^rernterpre ta t ion" of existing rules lets referees award visiting teams two free throws and possession of the ball if t h e i r o p p o n e n t s ' f a n s deliberately delay a game by throwing debris on the court. In

the past, only one foul shot was awarded.

' ' W e w a n t i t c a l l e d consistently," said Dr. Edward Steitz of the NCAA's basketball rules committee. "This is the result of a continued increase of fans throwing objects like toilet paper, ice cubes, dead fish and chickens on the court."

If the crowd doesn't stop, referees can assess a technical foul on the home team coach.

"In the past, some players and coaches even encouraged fan rowdyism," said Steitz.

Steitz said no single incident led to the rules change, but it was a n n o u n c e d s h o r t l y a f t e r Univers i ty of Missour i at

Columbia fans provoked Iowa State University player Jeff Grayer during a January game at Columbia.

Mizzou's infamous student rooting section, known as the Antlers, t eased Grayer so fiercely he jumped into the stands to silence them. Grayer allegedly threatened Antler Mike Harvey for making cracks about his mother.

"All I did was hold up a sign that said 'Your Momma is a Cow," Harvey said.

After Missouri beat Iowa State 119-93, ISU coach Johnny Orr filed a complaint about the Antlers — known for, among other pranks, greeting the

announcement of visiting teams' players' names by shouting "smells like a bus" in unison — with the Missouri athlet ic d e p a r t m e n t . A t h l e t i c department officials later told Antlers' representatives to be nicer.

So Antlers showed up at MU's next home game against the University of Colorado dressed as Ghandi, Pope John Paul II, Abe Lincoln, Santa Claus and other sweet characters, gave visiting coach Tom Miller a box of Valentine's candy, shouted "good try" when CU players missed shots and, when Missouri took a commanding 21-4 lead, yelled, "Sorry about the score."

The NCAA's Steitz contends the new rule is working, noting even coaches are trying to keep their fans in line.

University of North Carolina Coach Dean Smith, for instance, interrupted a Jan. 17 home game to admonish some UNC fans waving their arms to distract an opponent trying to shoot a free throw.

The opponent, moreover, was Danny Ferry of Archrival Duke University, whose Cameron Indoor Stadium fams are often c i ted as a m o n g the most insulting in the land.

Jim Monnett

Guest Columnist: I.M. Greade Poll time: Raise your hand if

you would like to be filthy, disgustingly rich. If you'd like to live in a $500,000 house, drive a Lamborghini, and sail your yacht from the slip outside your beach house in the Bahamas over long weekends. All this can be yours if you're willing to work for it. Are you?

I know I am. It's why I c a m e to a private school. With a Hope diploma and a Business degree I can enter the corporate world and climb to the top. I know it'll be a lot of work, but think of what a six figure income can buy. I got the guts, the desire and the American Dream on my side. I want it bad enough so I'll make it. Just stay out of my way.

To make it up the corporate ladder, I'll have to be stronger than everyone else. They lie to us and say the best rise to the top. I'm a realist, I know that it's the strong who survive. I don't have to be the most capable, just the strongest.

Some of you wimps may be thinking of turning to the sports page so you don't have to read the rest of my column. You may want to hide in your ivory tower

and lie to yourself that you're going to be happy living on at teacher's salary. Your integrity may remain intact, but I know that you're going to read Cosmopolitan and wish that you were me. You know you want to earn the kind of money that brings security, but you're afraid of getting crushed in the real world.

That's fine with me because you're right, I would eat you losers for breakfast. Out in the real world it'll be those of us willing to face reality and laugh at it who survive.

Corporate life in the real world is a rabid pit bull without a leash. Darwin didn't lie; corporate life is where survival of the fittest is the only constant. All that matters is the bottom line. If.you want to make it to the very top, to the real money, you should just forget about morality, charity, and of course fair play.

D a v i d B y r n e s a i d t a b l e manners are for those with nothing better to do; fair play is for those s a m e fools. I learned my lessons early.

My Momma taught m e the most important lesson of my life when I was six. My sister stole

My Pa taught me the second most important lesson of my life when I looked to him for help. P a said, 44Well, boy, whatcha gonna do 4bout that candy bar? "

I looked at my sister, picked up my split pea soup and made her a nice, pretty hat with it. She gave me a new candy bar the very next day.

It was capitalism in action. I demanded a new candy bar. She wouldn't supply unless I gave her something in return. I gave her my soup and she bought me a new candy bar. Boesky would be proud.

After ten years of hard, dirty work I'm going to be rich. Once I have money no one is going to mess with me. I'm going to have power, and I'm going to be oh so h a p p y . Al l i t ' l l c o s t m e is . . .ARRRRRGGGGGHH!!!! !

Some Hope Students Are Upset In the past year, the ''new"

Student Development Staffhas embarked on a program of reform aimed at reopening the c l o s i n g c h a n n e l s o f communication between the G r e e k s y s t e m a n d t h e administration.

It had been the initial belief that these reform committees (Greek Task Force , Greek Judicial Forum, etc.) would be given the responsibi l i ty of

voicing both the student and a d m i n i s t r a t i v e t h o u g h t s regarding relavent issues of the moment. Unfortunately, due to the rapid development, and relatively poor planning and support of these committees they have become ineffective in their duties.

One committee of particular concern is the Greek Judicial Forum. This committee was or ig ina l ly d e v e l o p e d a s a

A-Phi-0 Under Way With the announcement of

greek pledging, along with news that the Dorian Sorority may return, I thought it's time to inform the campus about Alpha Phi Omega and its' pledge class.

T h e A l p h a P h i O m e g a fraternity has had a chapter at Hope since 1960, but we are still the unknown fraternity. Even the anchor seems to have forgotten us.

After wearing my sweatshirt for three years, people still ask me what the letters stand for. A-Phi-0 is an international co-ed service fraternity. Our chapter, Nu Beta, currently consists of 16 members who have varied interests, majors, ideas and personalities.

However, we all have one goal in mind, service. Our fraternity chapter sponsors three blood annual blood drives, helps with u s h e r i n g , p r o d u c e s t h e "Felicitations", and contributes to many charities. This past month we have been collecting for the March of of Dimes in front of Meijer's and K-mart.

Nu Beta's pledge class consists of 10 fine people, ranging from first year students to juniors. Our pledge program lasts 6-8 weeks, and it is not a piece of cake like some of our pledges have been told by the rest of the campus.

Like all fraternities, there is a tradition in our pledging, and it is a lot of work and a lot of fun. All our members stand by the fraternity, we take all of the jokes, and wonder sometimes why som many people cannot

remember the greek letters Alpha Phi Omega. But, we are working on it.

When I leave this campus, many people ' recognize my fraternity and many people have even greeted me with the fraternity handshake or started to tell m e about their chapter at Georgia Tech or Penn State.

I close with saying good luck to Bob Boyce, Alan Chun, Sue C learwater , Carrie Myers , Robyn Perala, Dacia Pickering, Janet Poight, Chris Stone,S M i c h e l l e S m i t h , a n d L i z Willoughby on their road to membership.

Let me say that neither I nor the Centurian fraternity claim to be perfect, and while most Centurians share my views on the matter, I am expressing my personal viewpoints as a Greek, not a Centurian.

strides toward more positive pledging periods, we will see more of the marshal law tactics shown by the administratin this past week. I always thought it was, "innocent until proven guilty," but in the case of the Arcadian fraternity. Dean Beal changed the rules to: Guilty and we are not telling you what you did wrong (at least as of two days after they were told they were guilty.) But that's another story.

STEPHEN P. GROSE 278 EAST 13TH ST.

I Hope Does Not Need Another Sorority ; In response to the article ^Attempt Made To Reinstate !rhe Dorian Sorority" in the March 2 anchor, I would like to remind these women that there are already five sororities on campus.

Of these five, only two are at capacity. The other three have lots of room for women who are interested in "a sorority that will stress individuality, community service, and enhancement of r e l a t i o n s h i p s w i t h o t h e r sororities." This quote is from

the article. However, it could be a direct quote from the purpose described in the constitution of each existing sorority.

These women state there are a number of women who want to be part of a sorority but are not being represented. Where were they during rush? What do they mean that they aren't being represented? Are they looking for the stereotype to fall into?

No sorority can be typecast, although many people try. No group of 10-50 women can all be

the same. Be ing a m e m b e r of the

smallest sorority on campus I can't understand the need for another sorority. During rush we looked for women who wanted to work for their sorority. We are pleased with our current pledge class, but we gladly would have made room for more who were willing to put so much effort into the growth of their sorority.

One sorority will not offer "a fresh start to Greek life." All the Greeks have to work together for

a c h a n g e . E v e r y G r e e k organizat ion is working to d e v e l o p n e w p l e d g i n g procedures. Rush for sororities is standardized right down to the budget for all the sororities so that all interested women can meet every sorority.

If these women are looking for the Sorority Academic Trophy, I ' m a f r a i d t h e y ' l l b e disappointed. There are several sororities whose average gpa is higher than 3.0. Academics play an important role in sorority life.

In order to pledge, a woman must have a gpa of 2.0 or higher. These women will be responsible for the organization. They need i n t e l l i g e n c e to handle this responsibility.

Finally, I commend these women for their enthusiasm and dedication, but when existing sororities are far from capacity I can' t b e l i e v e that another sorority is needed.

SIBs Respond

Pledging is an emotional time of year. It is easy for those of us who are Greek to get caught up in this intensity because we highly value our particular sorority or fraternity.

There is a greater degree of tension this year because of the changes proposed and put into practice for the pledging system. Throughout these past weeks there have been many rumors circulating about the actions of both the G r e e k s and the administration.

It is difficult to sift through this information and find the truth. In some cases we may never know the truth. However, through it all, we are struggling and l e a r n i n g . T h e r e ' s o f t e n a dilemma of where to place support in the conflicts between t h e G r e e k s a n d t h e administration. The question is, need we support one over the other? Do we have to make that choice?

As Greeks we need to realize that we cannot exist without the support of the administration and the school. Likewise it is vital for the administration to understand the importance of the Greek system to Hope College. We feel this is a system worth fighting for. Fighting, however, not in the literal sense.

Through these changes there is potential for a wall to be built between the Greeks and the a d m i n i s t r a t i o n . I n s t e a d of building this wall, let's address

this s i tuat ion by l is tening, supporting, and being patient This needs to happen between the Greeks and administration as well as amongst the Greeks t h e m s e l v e s . We a l l m a k e mistakes.

It's not easy to promote change or to change the traditions of many years, especially in a short t i m e . H o w e v e r , t h r o u g h compromise, the system can work. United as Greeks, together with, but not a g a i n s t the administration, our fraternities and sororities here at Hope will be stronger and more positive than ever.

Centurians Give Their View We, the Centurian Fraternity,

support the Greeks on Hope's campus in their quest for fair treatment and representation concerning the administration a n d i t ' s p o l i c i e s . T h e administration needs to use proper channels and policies in their dealings with the Greeks.

Their failure to do so has outraged many people and led to a basic loss of respect, and even t h e q u e s t i o n i n g of t h e i r competency.

The Centurians understand and support the administration's goal of a positive Greek system. G r e e k s need to a c t in a

responsible manner to attain the administration's respect. Then too, how can we respect an administration which claims to want to help us, when that administration does not even inform an accused and sentenced organization of their crime until two days later?

Perhaps they had just reason... but wouldn't it be great if they would let us in on it?

Fromhold Off Target

In r e s p o n s e to K a r e n Fromhold's letter in last week's anchor, I would like to begin by stating that I consider myself a fairly androgynous person. I do not, however, agree with your article or choice of words.

You're right, your objection to the use of the word freshman in an article involving two female students does not seem nit-picky and unimportant — it IS nit-picky and unimportant! What is the big deal?

Granted , w o r d s s u c h as chairman and freshman came into being because at one time only men could occupy these posit ions. However , we all realize this is no longer the case.

It is now simply a matter of convention that these words are still used. Most of us have been able to accept these as generic terms. Why can't you?
