Last Saturday, Aug. 30, at

3:00 a.m., a male Hope student was

assaulted while escorting two fe-

male students home after a party at

14th Street between Fairbanks and

Lincoln. The assailant was described

as a Hispanic male, approximately 5 feet 10 inches, and wearing dark

clothing. A s lowly mov ing veh ic le

pulled up beside the students.

The driver allegedly directed several profanities at the women

and asked them for a light.

" I 'm not sure if he crossed

the line of harassment or not," said

one witness who wished to remain

anonymous.

The girls replied, "We don' t

smoke," and the driver proceeded out of his car and came toward the

girls' escort. According to the police re-

port, the assault was not provoked.

During questioning, the vic-tim could not remember any details

of the incident.

Based on the locations of his

abrasions, police suspect that the

assailant slugged the victim in or near the mouth, causing him to fall

to the ground and hit his head on

the pavement. The victim suffered a cut to

the chin, a concussion, swelling in his neck and temporary nerve dam-

age, causing numbness in his arms, as well as other cuts and bruises.

Poythress plans to 'raise anchor' LAURA MIMAILOFF campusbeat: editor

Looking around Hope's cam-

pus, the number of minority stu-

dents remains small. D. Wes ley P o y t h r e s s has

been appointed as the new director

of multicultural life to correct this

problem. "My goal for this school is to

prepare Hope to raise our anchor—

to m o v e f o r w a r d into the next millenium," Poythress said.

Poythress described his vi-sion for Hope College using an

analogy. 4,It is ironic that the anchor

is the symbol of Hope," he said. "The anchor symbolizes stabiliza-

tion." Hope may be stable in that

changed much over the years. For example, he explained,

when a team of f ishermen have been in the same spot for a long

time, they raise their anchor and

move on to a new spot where the

fish are plentiful. He will oversee the student

minority organizations and work to

increase multicultural understand-

ing across Hope's campus. "I want to make a bridge to

the classroom," Poythress said. The new multicultural life di-

rector plans to work with Hope stu-

dents, staff and faculty to create a more desirable environment for stu-

dents of color. He also will work to

devise strategies to bring in more

students of color and give them a reason to want to stay at the college.

color," he said. "It's for all students." "Hope has a lot to offer a stu-

Park I t ^ Added parking still

can't hold all of Hope's

cars close enough to

LAURA MIMAILOFF campusbeat editor

As student enrollment contin-

ues to skyrocket, parking spots re-

main scarce. Last July the decision was

made to make the "freshman only"

parking lots F, Q, S, and W (better known as Siberia) accessible to all

students. In addition, all students,

regardless of their year in school, may now park in any Hope College

lot. 'There were only two or three

parking lots available for freshmen

last year," said Director of Public Safety Duane Terpstra. "Students

got tickets for parking other places

and both students and parents com-

plained." Casey Saggers ( '00) was one

of several who complained to Pub-

lic Safety about the lack of spaces.

"I lived in Dykstra last year

and came home one night to find no

parking spaces in either Siberia lot," she said. "I finally parked in the lot

behind Peale and got a ticket." T h e i s s u e w a s f o r m a l l y

brought up during the middle of last

year and the decision to have all stu-

dent lots accessible to students, re-

gardless of year in school , with parking permits, was decided mid -

summer. Terpstra, Director of Op-

e r a t i o n s and T e c h n o l o g y G r e g Maybury, and Dean of Students Ri-

chard Frost were the three most in-volved in the decision to remove the

designated parking code. According to Terpstra, they

were given two options: they could either restrict parking for all first-

year students or they could convert

the designated parking areas to stu-

dent lots to be shared by all students

with valid permits. "We tried using designated

parking spots at Brumler apartments in the past, but as soon as one per-

son parked in the wrong spot and

another person came home and had to park in another wrong spot, it set

off a whole chain of complaints," Terpstra said. "It was an adminis-

trative nightmare." "It's a big draw that Hope has

Dragonfly makes sc ience f un f o r k ids

Dr. Kathy Winnett-Murray, Asso-

ciate Professor of Biology at Hope,

is making the sciences come alive

for children.

She discovered a way to apply

what she was teaching her two sons

about science to a nat ionwide audi-

ence. Winnett-Murray contributed two

ideas to the Dragonfly project. In

return, the editors invited Winnet t-

Murray to be a regular contributor.

"It was my kids, really, that got

me into it," she said. "I a lways try

to help out with various projects at

school, but this gives me a more le-

gitimate reason for my effor ts ."

Dragonfly is a theme-based sci-

ence journal for upper elementary

and middle school students, teach-

ers, and parents.

"Dragonfly is designed to inspire

children to investigate," said Chris

Due to the growing number of

Catholic students on campus, the

Union of Catholic Students started

meeting again last year after sev-

eral years of recess. This has cre-

ated an opportunity for Catholic stu-

dents to meet as a group on cam-

pus. M e e t i n g s are be ing held on

Thursday nights f rom 8 - 9 p.m. The

first meeting has already passed, but

it is never too late to join. This year,

the organiza t ion is t ry ing a new

schedule.

During the first week of the

month, U C S will meet for singing

and small group prayer. The topic

of the month will be introduced on

the second week of the month with

a Bible study related to that topic

held on the third week. The fourth

week of every month will be set

aside for U C S members to do ser-

vice for the community. This allows

the s tudents to interact with the

people of Holland and feel good

about their role in the community.

T h e off icers are very excited

about this year ' s activities and the

chance to see new faces at UCS.

A WORD FROM THE EDITOR...

New Beginnings With the first two issues of the

Anchor under my belt I feel so much

more relaxed than I did two weeks

ago.

1 have a clearer idea of how my

job works and what exactly 1 am

supposed to do here. At least I think

so. Any and all minor traumas that

c o m e up every day have already

become old hat for me. But, let me

tell you, it was much easier being

Captain Enfuego when I could just

shoot my mouth off and the Big Ed

would be there to catch me. Now I

am that Big Ed and there is no safely

net.

Part of the reason I feel relaxed

is knowing my staff is highly quali-

fied to do their job. Every section

editor is solid and comple te and

lacks nothing.

I have come to realize that the

most important factor of my j o b is

that I cannot do this alone and nei-

ther can my section editors.

Like any other student organiza-

tion this paper is funded by your

Vol. i l l . issue 2

the Anchor

dollars, fed by your ideas and in-

put, and geared toward no one but

you the students. This paper is for

you, by you, and about you. With-

out you there would be no news and

therefore no newspaper . Hence I

would be out of a job.

Get Involved There are so many ways to get

involved in the Anchor at so many

levels. We are always looking for

writers, photographers, cartoonists,

or production people. However you

want to put some help in you can.

It is completely open to all students.

Perhaps the most important way

for you as students to get involved

is to write letters to me, the editor,

and express your opinion on any-

thing f rom how we are doing as a

newspaper, how the faculty is do-

ing, a reaction to an article or col-

umn in the Anchor, whatever.

Feel f ree to contact m e person-

ally to discuss anything you would

like by either stopping me and talk-

ing to me or perhaps calling m e at

the Anchor off ice (x7877) or send-

ing email to A N C H O R .

Glyn Williams

On a personal note I was at Village Inn celebrating a

buddy ' s birthday when I heard the

news that the princess had died last

Saturday night.

I was shocked and at first I didn ' t

believe it. Sure enough, when I got

h o m e I sat in front of the television

e m o t i o n a l l y and phys i ca l l y ex -

hausted, watching closely and lis-

tening carefully to everyone give

their take on the wonderful life that

she led.

Many thoughts ran through my

mind but the most overwhelming

thought was the irony surrounding

the entire situation.

T h e same media that built her up

and m a d e her an international diva

eventual ly g rew tired of her and

began to break her down. Eventu-

ally it killed her both emotionally

and physically.

Editor's note: This is a reprint of

an article that ran in the Aug. 27

issue of the Anchor. Due to print-

ing problems, the bottom section of

the article was cut o f f . T h e Anchor

apologizes for the inconvenience.

While most Hope students were

becoming acclimated to a summer

of w o r k a n d v a c a t i o n , P e t e r

Warburton ( '98) took his own life.

For many, Pete 's death removed the

excitement of a summer away f rom

the classroom and forced those who

k n e w h i m to r e f l e c t u p o n h i s

memory.

Three months later, emotions are

rekindled as his f r iends return to

find a newly injected void in their

life at Hope College. Visions of Pete

smiling and laughing are removed

f rom the mind only by the reality

that his fr iends are unable to have

similar experiences with him in the

future. ' T h e hard part about Pete's death

is that w e can ' t share new m e m o -

ries;' said Chris Potter ( '98), a close

fr iend to Pete. This fact , however,

only serves to strengthen the past

memor ies of Pete and solidify his

importance within the lives of those

he touched.

P e t e w a s a g o o d

friend, good son, good

brother and most im-

portantly good person.

Like many, Pete was

an a v e r a g e s t u d e n t

who was un ique be-

cause he was blessed

with the gift of being

a scholar of people and

personalities.

"Pete knew people"

said Andy Sill ( ' 98) .

He would always take

t ime out to spend time with a fr iend or o f fe r insightful ad-

v ice to anyone w h o needed him

most . "Pete had the great talent of be-

ing a good listener," said Fraternity

brother Ryan Spangler ( '98). "He

was a very genuine person.

T h e hearts and prayers of those

af fected by his loss go out to his

fami ly in the hopes that they are in

some way consoled by the knowl-

edge that Pete was a positive inf lu-

ence in so many lives. Those who

k n e w P e t e w e r e e x -

t r e m e l y f o r t u n a t e to

have been blessed by his

talents and love and will

a l w a y s c h e r i s h t he i r

t ime spent together.

Friends are comforted

by pictures and memo-

ries of Pete which re-

mind them that he will

a lways remain an im-

p o r t a n t p a r t of t he i r

lives. ^ m , Pete has burned a per-P. Warbur ton m a n e n t p l a c e i n t h e

hearts of countless students at Hope

College and will continue to make

those close to him smile for years

to come. Pete is loved by so many and will

be missed more than he knows.

exhibit Dr. John Wilson of the Art

Department calls "Searching for the

Spir i tual / ' A year ago Wilson embarked

on a quest to find new artists who

were taking people on a spiritual

journey. Many critics had said art

relating to the spirit was dead. Wil-

son found them wrong and discov-

ered many artists who were turning

the invisible into the tangible. De-

cisions were made regarding what

was appropriate to show in the gal-

lery while at the same time keep-

ing art that was truly moving. A year

later, Wilson has a display that, with

due time, becomes very moving.

Through the incorporation of

art and poetry the artists of Wilson's

exhibit venture out on their personal

spiritual journey. Their works have

been broken into five categories in

order to be better understood. The

SPIRITUAL. SAGA: Three artists featured in Dr. John Wilson's exhibit guide viewers to a higher plane. first category is entitled "Imagery three-dimensional objects , repre-

and the Spiritual." It encompasses

a wide range of works addressing

the spirit through a stunning display

of imagery and elaborate symbols.

The second division is called

"Abstract Art and the Spir i tual ."

The expressions in this section tend

to have hidden meanings and subtle

messages. Next are the artists who

found the spirit through nature. This

part is titled "The Land and the

Spiritual." After the landscapes is a cat-

ones or God Almighty.

T h e f inal section is " H u m a n

section speaks of the pain of the

spirit or the passion of a person.

Each^separate category has its

own icon, or graphic, that is placed

near each work of art pertaining to

it. T h e s e c t i o n s are mixed to-

Shi f t ing gears Despite rocky roads, OPUS plans for a strong year

MIRIAM BEYER in termiss ion ed i to r

If Melissa Herwaldt

{ '98) and Joel Cronkite

, ( '00) have their way,

the student organiza-

tion OPUS and its activities will be

the new buzz on campus this year.

The two are the new leaders of the

group, whose main project is pro-

ducing a campus literary magazine

at the end of each semester, and they

have some big plans for the coming

year. In the pas t c o u p l e of y e a r s

OPUS* presence on c a m p u s has

somewha t t raveled underground .

Fewer and fewer students attended

the "OPUS jams , " open-forum po-

etry readings combined with live

music, and interest in submitting to

the magazine shrunk to a small, de-

voted group of humanit ies majors .

Plus, the Student Appropr ia -

tions Commit tee last year, in reor-

ganizing the budget, severely cut

funding for the Visiting Writers Se-

ries, OPUS ' main event.

J. Cronkite

Aware of these menacing cir-

c u m s t a n c e s , H e r w a l d t a n d

Cronkite are dedicated to moving

O P U S out of the dungeon and into

students ' faces. " ' S t r i c t l y an Engl ish ma jo r

thing' is a label we ' ve been slapped

wi th , " Herwald t said. " A n d i t ' s

something we want to change."

In place of the O P U S j a m s

Herwaldt and Cronkite are plan-

ning fewer, more specific events

that will combine the areas of sci-

ence and literature, in order to in-

volve a more diverse group of stu-

dents in the organization.

"We believe there are several

parallels between science and lit-

erature, and w e want to explore

them." Cronki te said. "The pro-

cesses involved in each study are

very similar." They are also starting an in-

t e n s e p a r t n e r s h i p w i th S a r a h

S a m p l e , the o w n e r of Socra te s

Newscenter on 9th St. The product

of t h i s r e l a t i o n s h i p w i l l b e a

weekly, Thursday evening series

held at the cof fee shop. T h e motto

of the series will be "calling all per-

formers ." Herwaldt and Cronkite

hope for an eclectic gathering.

"There are so many ways of

performing the arts that many stu-

dents haven ' t seen," Herwaldt said.

The series is due to begin Sept. 11.

Both leaders, however, stress

that they see nothing wrong with a

"straight reading." In fact, another

piece of their plans includes start-

ing a strictly spoken-word series

entitled "The Almighty Mouth." In the past, the publication of

the O P U S magazine has been the

culminat ing event of the group ' s

activities. This year, however, the

duo hopes to host a few more ma-

jor happenings. One of these will

be a "Mad Hatter 's Experimental

Tea Party" held on Oct. 6, Interna-

tional Mad Hatter Day. The date is

so dubbed due to the fact that all

illustrations of the Mad Hatter por-

tray a tag in the character 's hat la-

beled "10/6." The event will be held

in the Pine Grove and, according to

Herwaldt , will be "a crazy scene

wi th , of c o u r s e , t e a . " She and

Cronkite hope to "bring more books

to life" throughout the year.

The pair also hopes to rejuve-

nate a tradition started at Hope in

the '80s which has since died out.

T h e tradit ion involves host ing a

Beaux Arts Festival, which is basi-

cally a celebration of all the arts.

The event, a giant masquerade ball,

will be held in the spring in the

parking lot of the DePree Building

underneath a huge tent. Herwaldt

and Cronkite are attempting to book

a swing band to play at the event.

"We ' re excited about this pros-

pect because aside from the Student

Activities Committee 's 'Fantasia, '

there are no other formals for inde-

p e n d e n t s on H o p e ' s c a m p u s , "

Herwaldt said. "We want to offer

this event as an additional one."

there. t4It worked out pretty well ," he

said. 441 get this nice rocjjn all to

myself ."

Brandkamp is f rom Staten Is-

land, New York. H e f i rs t heard

about Hope ten years ago through his

pastor Bob Schwander, a native Hol-

lander who sent all f ive of his chil-

dren to Hope. Although Brandkamp

knew he would eventually go to col-

lege, at 21 he didn ' t feel ready to go

to school. 441 still had a lot of growing up to

do," Brandkamp said. 44At 21 my pri-

orities were just really different. I

wanted to get on my feet and sup-

port myself ."

Brandkamp credits his own faith

with giving him the courage to make

such a drastic change in his life. 44I was on a week ' s vacation and

fell asleep while watching this video

tape that was like the Reader's Di-

gest version of hymns. I woke up

with this thought that said 4Give it

all up , " ' Brandkamp said.

T h r o u g h m o n t h s of s t r u g g l e ,

Brandkamp realized that his calling

was to become a minister. 44I first questioned if the thought

was just my imagination " he said. 44But 1 think it had a real spiritual

meaning." To b e c o m e a p a s t o r , h e f i r s t

needed to get an undergraduate edu-

cat ion. B r a n d k a m p knew that the

right place for him was Hope Col-

lege.

44It seemed the logical place to go

if I am called to go into ministry and

the RCA," he said. "Hope College

offers an education that is both spiri-

tually upl i f t ing and academical ly

stretching."

He has found the spiritual foun-

dation of Hope encouraging. 44I love the idea of chapel. It is

great to go to a school that under-

stands your faith," Brandkamp said.

"I especially like the spirit of the

worsh ip — it 's al ive. I love the

bu i ld ing [Dimnen t Chape l ] , and

having chapel in the Pine Grove is a

nice way of airing out worship."

Ten years after deciding that he

wasn ' t ready for college, he called

cation. 44I was amazed , surpr ised , and

grateful that I got in," Brandkamp

said.

Dutch History buff joins Hope faculty T. PADRIC MOORE staff r e p o r t e r

Dr. James C. Kennedy, one of the new additions to

the faculty at Hope, has a real love for history.

"The idea of traveling back in time that history al-

lows people to do is very appealing," Kennedy said.

Regardless of his love for history, he feels the past

should be left as the past. However, Kennedy still likes

to travel back to observe a time where humans are re-

corded and time is " then."

"History is a study of what makes a person unique,

different or peculiar," Kennedy said.

According to Kennedy, it is the "peculiarities of the

past" that interest him. However , after 22 years of be-

ing a student, Kennedy is finally ready to teach the

subject he loves. " I ' m very enthusiastic about coming to Hope and

tickled pink to be teaching Dutch History," Kennedy

said. Kennedy will also be teaching the first sequence of

the Interdisciplinary core course.

" I ' m proud to say that I don ' t have a method of teach-

ing," he said. He likes to combine his classes with lecture and ac-

tive discussion. He believes that all classes should in-

clude clarity, organization, and an interesting twist.

Kennedy grew up in Iowa and spent the beginning

of his life traveling Europe because his mother was

Dutch bom.

After his adventures in Europe, mostly in the Neth-

erlands, Kennedy learned to love biking. He bikes an

average of 400 miles during the summer months.

Kennedy went to Georgetown University in Wash-

ington, D.C. to receive his undergraduate degree in For-

eign Service. <4I was going to go into diplomatic services, but go-

ing to cocktail parties three t imes a week didn ' t appeal

to me," he said.

Book of love Prof, writes about the types of love


OLD HISTORY, MEW PROF: History professor James Kennedy poses in front of a statue of A.C. VanRaalte, founder of Holland and Hope College. gree in Christian Studies.

After his master 's degree, he finally found his pas-

sion in History. "[History is] the only discipline that captivated my

imagination," he said. He then went on to Iowa University to receive his

doctorate in History. Kennedy began his teaching career (for two years)

at Valparaiso University in Valparaiso, Indiana. And

then, there was Hope.

" H o p e ' s a great Chr i s t ian ibera l arts co l l ege , "

Kennedy said, with a warm smile and a hopeful grin

for the "long haul" of life.

NOELLE W O O D spot l ight ed i to r

Have you ever wondered, won-

dered, wondered, wondered, who,

who, who wrote the book of love?

On Hope ' s campus, the answer

is Philosophy professor Dr. Carol

Simon. " I ' m not Dr. Ruth or Dr. Laura

and I don ' t want to be seen as some

sort of guru on the topic of love,"

she said.

Simon is the author of a book en-

t i t led " T h e D i s c i p l i n e d Hear t :

Love, Destiny and Imaginat ion,"

which was published earlier this

spring by a well known publish-

ing company in Grand Rapids. Her

book examines the nature of genu-

ine human love, and how love af-

fects both who people are and who

they become.

She wrote the book from a Chris-

tian perspective, while also inte-

grating the ideas of classical think-

e rs and c o n t e m p o r a r y ph i l o so -

phers. She felt that in the Christian

tradition, the subject of love had

not been dealt with adequately.

"In the Christian tradition, agape

love is seen as the most important,"

Simon said. "Because of this em-

phasis on unconditional love, the

other types of love are overlooked

or seen as lesser forms."

Simon decided to write a book

on love because she had been do-

ing smaller projects on the topics

that she covers in the book. These

topics include six different types

of love: self love, neighbor love,

fr iendship, romantic love, marital

love and intergender friendships.

To write about the different types

of love , S i m o n used her back-

ground in philosophy. 44The book itself is an extended

conversat ion with both classical

thinkers and con tempora ry phi-

\

Dr. C. Simon l o s o p h e r s S i m o n said.

She enjoyed the process of find-

ing these thoughts of others and

using them with her own.

"I e n j o y e d be ing able to read

good literature," Simon said. "I lis-

tened to the most reliable voices out

there and had that enrich my own

thinking."

She explains that the book is writ-

ten with the general reader in mind

and that it also offers something for

theologians and philosophers.

"People would read this book to

make them think harder on views

of love and friendship," Simon said.

Her book, which has been com-

pared by cri t ics to C.S. Lewis ' s 4 The Four Loves," describes genu-

ine love as seeing oneself, or oth-

ers, as God would want people to

see each other. This genuine form

of love requ i res se l f -d i sc ip l ine ,

which is where the book got its title.

"The undisciplined heart is prone

to whimsical reaction and wishful,

s e l f - i n t e r e s t e d p r o j e c t i o n , " she

writes. "It confuses love with love's

counterfeits: infatuation, manipula-

tion, and sentimentality."

"The Disciplined Heart" can be

found in Baker Book House, Book-

sel lers of Mains t ree t and in the

Hope-Geneva Bookstore.

D E E P T H O U G H T S

Noelle Wood

By the light of the cross As 1 gaze oul onto the

midnight blue sky f rom my

window in Brownstone, I see

the jagged peaks of Hope ' s

buildings that create my

horizon. In particular, my eyes

are drawn to the yellow glowing

cross on Dimnent Chapel .

I first saw this Hope landmark

when I was a f reshman. At the

time, this was because I had the

misfortune of taking a chemistry

night lab.

Although 1 never did learn to

like lab, that cross always

calmed my soul and warmed my

heart after three hours of

titrations and calculations.

Now, as a senior, those little

shining lights have not lost their

magic. They serve as a reminder

of where 1 have c o m e in three

years and what I will take with

me when I leave in May.

Thirty-two-year-old f reshman

John Brandkamp said that he

chose Hope because it is both

"spiritually uplifting and

academically stretching."

1 wonder if he knows just how

right he is. Through a double

major in Chemistry and Psy-

chology and a long line of pre-

med and core courses, my mind

has been more than stretched. It

has been pulled apart, rear-

ranged, and glued back to-

ge ther—many times over. From

now on. all my thoughts and

decisions will be influenced by

my Hope-educated brain.

But this stretching process

will not end here. Medical

school and the world beyond

will have their chance to

expand my mind past the

foundat ions laid at Hope.

As for spiritually uplifting,

the very atmosphere of Hope

College can strengthen the faith

of anyone willing, seeking, or

searching.

I am not necessarily referring

to chapel or Christian student

organizations, although these

can be wonderful opportunit ies

for fel lowship with other

Christians.

Rather, it is through the rich

history of this place, of its

settlers and missionaries, of its

strange traditions, and even of

its generous use of orange

brick, that we have been

handed down this legacy of

Hope. Anyone willing to accept

the legacy and add something

to its dimensions cannot leave

unchanged.

Now the night sky has turned

black, the peaks in my horizon

have disappeared, and only the

crosses remain. When 1 leave

this place and can no longer see

its buildings, I hope the light of

the cross will remain with me

and that the spirit behind it will

continue to grow.

the everyday tensions and conflicts

of college life.

T h e retreat is "a chance to get

away f rom campus and to get to

know other Cathol ics ," said Ann

Barry.

Act ivi t ies include personal re-

flection, prayer, and Bible study in

a beaut i ful secluded area. Non-

Catholics are also welcome to go

and learn more about the Catholic

faith.

A l so on the i r list of p l a n n e d

events is a spaghett i d inner fund

raiser to be held on Friday, Oct. 24

in Mass Auditor ium f rom 6-8 p.m.

Tickets for the d inner are $5 .00

each. "We hope that UCS is a place

that Catholic students can come to

meet other Catholic students and

g row in their fa i th th rough us , "

Brickner said.

in common with a devout Muslim

t h a n w i t h m a n y A m e r i c a n s , "

Byington said. "[Muslims] under-

stand, and have great respect for, re-

ligious devotion."

Besides reaching out to college

students, the two spent time orga-

nizing a basketball camp and teach-

ing English in a local school.

They also visited a remote village

where one missionary is training

residents in basic health care, since

the nearest clinic is over 40 miles

away.

Working with the long-term mis-

sions staff challenged their percep-

tions of missionary life.

"There was such a diversity of

personalities and talents in the mis-

sionaries on the team," Kuiper said.

" B u t they w e r e all j u s t n o r m a l

vinced of how awesome Jesus is."

Rosenbrook fills women's soccer coaching void MIKE ZUIDEMA sports ed i to r

In 1996, Paul Rosenbrook had to

worry about soccer and graduation.

Now that it 's 1997, Rosenbrook

still has to worry about soccer, but

graduation has been taken care of.

Rosenbrook ( '96) was named as

coach of the women ' s soccer pro-

gram, taking over for Stein Slette

who resigned last spring.

A member of the Grand Rapids

Explosion semi-pro soccer team,

Rosenbrook takes over a team that

consists of only one senior.

Leading returners include All-

M 1 A A s e c o n d t e a m m e m b e r

Melody Morscheck ( '99) , and All-

M I A A f i r s t t e a m m e m b e r a n d

M1AA most valuable player, Tina

Gill ( '99) .

The biggest loss to the team was

the graduation of the leading scorer

in H o p e s o c c e r h i s t o r y , T r a c y

Phelps. Phelps graduated hold ing f ive

soccer records, including most ca-

reer goals, points, and assists.

"We ' r e a young team, but expe-

rienced with eleven returning play-

ers," Rosenbrook said. "(Slette) got

us to a great level, and I am ex-

pected to bring them up to that next

level." Last season, the t eam f in ished

with a school-best 9-3 Michigan

Intercollegiate Athletic Association

record, good enough for a third-

place finish. The team was 10-8-1

overall, fol lowing a 0-4-1 start.

With only a few months to pre-

pare fo r the u p c o m i n g s e a s o n ,

Rosenbrook has had to adjust to

new p l a y e r s / n e w coaching , and

new techniques.

"I t 's been a rush, a whir lwind,"

Rosenbrook said. "I have a good

idea what to expect. I don ' t expect

inexperience to be a problem."

Rosenbrook has had little over

three months to prepare himself for

Monday ' s season opener, a 2-1 loss

t o Wheaton College.

T h e lone goal w a s scored by

Annalise Van Wyngarden ( '00).

" I ' v e had a c h a n c e to look at

games f rom last year," Rosenbrook

said. "The most challenging thing

has been trying to put part of the

m e n ' s g a m e i n t o t h e w o m e n ' s

game."

Having experienced players re-

turning to the team, has also aided

the coach in preparing the team for

the season.

" H a v i n g Gi l l a n d G r e t c h e n

Schoon ( ' 99 ) makes things a lot

LISTEN UP!: New head coach Maureen Odland gives instructions at practice in prepara-tion for their first match in the Mt. Union Tournament, Friday and Saturday.

Flying Dutch begin title defense MIKE ZUIDEMA sports ed i to r

After capturing their first confer-

ence title in ten years, the volley-

ball team will have to attempt a re-

peat under the reign of a new coach.

Maureen Odland has been named

head coach, fol lowing in the steps

of Kar l a Wol t e r s , w h o s t epped

down as the head volleyball coach

but will continue coaching the soft-

ball team.

O d l a n d , a C a n a d i a n c i t i z e n ,

played college volleyball at the Uni-

versity of Victoria, British Colum-

bia, before moving on to receive her

Ph.D. She had also served as an assis-

tant coach at the Un ive r s i t y of

Guelph before coming to Hope.

Odland began looking for a po-

sit ion in the Uni ted Sta tes a f t e r

learning that jobs in Canada con-

sist of coaching or teaching, not

both. She inherits a team that finished

with an 11-1 conference, and 26-6

overall record, including the team's

first conference title in nine years.

"I d idn ' t meet most of the play-

ers until last week," Odland said.

"And I didn ' t know anything about

any of my opponents ."

T h e team does return six starters,

i n c l u d i n g th ree A l l - M I A A f i r s t

team nomineesi in Emily Bakker

( ' 98 ) , Chr i s t i e E d i n g ( ' 9 8 ) , and

H e a t h e r V e l t i n g ( ' 9 9 ) . B e c k y

Schmidt ( '98) was named to the All-

MIAA second team.

' T h e team has to be able to ad-

j u s t q u i c k l y , " O d l a n d s a i d .

"They 've been keen to learn, and

have made it quite clear if they have

a problem with what I 'm doing."

T h e team has exper ienced the

angst associated with playing un-

der a new coach.

"They ' r e getting used to a new

system. They ' r e adjusting and they

ge t f r u s t r a t e d , " O d l a n d sa id .

"They ' re very coachable and each

has a positive to add."

A s a c o l l e g i a n , O d l a n d w a s

named to the all-conference squad

and was chosen as a National All-

S t a r i n 1990.

She also played beach volleyball

professionally in Australia, and has

experience coaching and playing on

numerous club teams.

T h e team will begin their season

Friday, Sept. 5 and Saturday, Sept.

6 at the Mt. Union, Ohio Tourna-

ment. Whi le Odland has had little time

to prepare with her team, she isn't

concerned about the season begin-

ning.

"I t 's not easy, but you do what

you have to. I think 1 know what to

expect," Odland said.

T h e team will also look ahead on

the calendar to Sept. 27 when they

face rival Calvin College.

The rival Knights finished a game

behind the Flying Dutch in the con-

ference, but did earn a bid into the

national tournament, finishing with

a 24-9 record.

Calvin also topped Hope in regu-

lar season matches, 3-1, giving the

team their only league loss.

GET 'EM UP!: Flying Dutchmen football players run through drills during a recent practice in preparation for their first game against Valparaiso, Ind.; Sept 6.

Dutchmen hope for league tit le MIKE Z U I D E M A sports editor

T h e Flying Dutch footba l l team

again enters the season looking to

Albion and cap ture their first con -

fe rence championsh ip since 1987.

To accompl i sh such a fea t , the

polls, will have to over th row a top-

ranked Albion team.

Last season ' s squad finished their

campa ign with a 4 -5 overal l mark ,

Kreps will look to ba l ance the

"We would like to be about 60-

40, run to pass , " Kreps said. "We

want the passing percentage to go

up and get that balance . On de fense

w e have a f ew more holes to fi l l ."
