The area surrounding Peale Science Center was closed off today by a fire line while the fire was dealt with by Holland's fire squad.

Minor fire forces classes to end A fire on the fourth floor of

Peale canceled classes yesterday

afternoon. Now that the renovation of

Peale has started, workers have begun to gut the building. For-tunately, new materials have not

yet started to be put up, so the mini-mal smoke odors will dissipate as the damaged portions are removed and vents kick in.

'The cause of the fire has not yet been officially determined," said Tom Renner, associate vice presi-

dent for public relations. 'There was some work being done in that area earlier in the day involving a cutting torch. There was insulation smoldering in the ceiling.

"We should be grateful for that kind of response in a general fire

alarm like that. All the signs of having a working fire alarm sys-tem were there, and at the same time the fire department was only a block away because they were doing a training drill at the old Lincoln Elementary School."

Hope students come out in 'Time to Serve'

Sarah Masen stayed on after her perfor-mance Friday to be up early with students Saturday for "A Time to Serve." About 500 students took part at various sites around the Holland area.

Thomas Edison once said, "Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work." However, there were approximately 500 Hope students who seized an opportunity to serve their community, and in some cases, it meant getting a little dirty.

It was all for a cause known as 'Time to Serve," which look place Saturday. Diana Breclaw, Hope's assistant dean of students for residential life and student activities, was in charge of the event. According to Breclaw, "it was THE thing to do this past

weekend." Participants signed up for the volunteer

effort during "New Student Orientation." Most were first-year students anxiously looking for a way to meet new people and to become familiar with the Holland com-munity. In fact, more than half of the first-year class showed up.

However, not all of the volunteers were from the class of '07. Since it was the fourth year for 'Time to Serve," two seniors vol-unteered for the fourth year in a row. Dan Morrison and Kristin Dowedite went on a service trip their first year at Hope and were leaders for the next three years. Brittanny Philo ( '06) was a first-time leader this year.

Philo said, "1 decided to go because I was an OA leader this year, and by trying to gel

the freshmen to go, I became interested in getting involved in our community."

The participants met in Maas on Satur-day morning, where they were divided into groups of 8 to 12 and were sent to 48 dif-ferent sites.

The crews worked from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on projects that ranged from sorting cloth-ing at the Holland Rescue Mission to clean-ing up the beach at Dunton Park, to run-ning a fan club for area middleschoolers with the Tulipanes festival. Philo was a leader of the group that went to "Warm Friend," a retirement home on 8lh Street.

"We washed windows, served lunch and sundaes, cleaned up, and talked to the resi-dents. We were also able to move out a resident and clean their travel bus," Philo explained.

According to Philo, though tiring, the en-tire experience was very worth it. Not only did she meet "a lot of really cool people," but they also received plenty of compli-ments.

"While we were cleaning the windows facing 8,h street, people from the commu-nity were telling us how great of a job we were doing, and to keep up the good work," commented Philo.

Perhaps it is this positive feedback from the c o m m u n i t y that has caused the program's steady growth. It began in 2000

Marathon reading

continues The department of English at

Hope College will sponsor a marathon reading of J .R.R. Tolkien's "The Return of the King" on Friday, Sept. 19, from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. in the Pine Grove. The event will conclude the series of readings of "The Lord of the Rings," begun last year. Ref reshment s will be available. Students, faculty, ad-ministrators, and members of the community are invited to sign up to read in 10-minute segments. Anyone wishing to sign up for a reading slot can do so by visiting the office of the English department. In the event of rain, the marathon will be held in Lubbers Loft, on the fourth floor of Lubbers.

De La Torre publishes book

on Elian T h e ex i led Cuban

community's response during the Elian custody battle was all the more intense because the issue was not only political but also religious, according to a new book by Dr. Miguel De La Torre of the Hope College reli-gion faculty. He considers the 1999-2000 controversy sur-rounding young Elian Gonzales as a reflection of the way that opposition to Fidel Castro's re-gime and subsequent residence in the U.S. have for exiled Cu-bans become a r e l ig ious struggle—"la lucha"—against evil. He discusses how Exilic Cubans, once a marginalized group, have risen to power and privilege in the United States, a status that distinguishes them from other Hispanic groups in the nation, and the relationship of exile and religion to the pro-cess. "Living in exile is a sacri-fice constituting a civic duty, representing a grander moral standing," De La Torre said. "Religion is understood as a moral mandate." Elian has con-nections to religion.

Grant to promote interdepartmental work Danie l le Kosk i B U S I N E S S M A N A G E R

Al l ison S c h n e i d e r S T A F F R E P O R T E R

Fungi grow on skin, on trees, on breads, on fruits, on vegetables, on the ground, and in many other places. The moldy fungi peni-cillin became the first antibiotic. Other fungi, like portabella and morel mushrooms, are consumed by humans for their taste, and oth-ers, like psilocybin mushrooms, make the list of illicit drugs and have been known to kill people. Now the role of fungi in the ecosys-tem will be studied at Hope College thanks to a National Science Foundation (NSF)

grant. Dr. Thomas Bultman of the biology depart-

ment has received a four-year grant of $885, 773 through the NSF's "Collaborative Re-search at Undergraduate Institutions" pro-gram. The grant is the largest sum ever given to Hope by the NSF. Along with Bultman,

this new fungi project will involve Dr. Janet Anderson of the math department. Dr. Ken-neth Brown of the chemistry department. Dr. Debbie Swarthout of the biology de-partment , and Dr. Christopher Schardl from the University of Kentucky ' s de-par tment of plant pathology.

' T h e advantage of an interdiscipli-nary app roach is that to better under-stand the ecological interaction we need to understand how the chemicals, or al-kaloids , produced by the fungi are impacting other species, like the consumers of the grass and the consum-

ers of those consumers," Bultman said. The research will incorporate the five sci-

entists' strengths and involve undergraduate students. A mathematical model will be made of the interactions in the food web involving the fungi, the alkaloid concentration of the fungi will be chemically and genetically analyzed, and how the fungi affect's host plants will be studied. The new Science Center will lend itself to integrat-ing the various disciplines.

'The new Peale has been built with interdisciplinary science in mind. No longer are departments clustered on floors, but rather, faculty using common instru-ments are clustered. The explo-ration of the fungal-plant system

will involve work by biologists and chem-ists, and the new Peale will facilitate this in-

teraction," Bultman said. Bultman believes that the interdisciplinary

approach of this research will help under-graduate students in the future. According to Bultman, the boundaries separating sci-entific fields are disappearing.

"Integrating the different departments in multidisciplinary research will place our stu-dents into a multidisciplinary team that is studying a complex biological problem that requires multidisciplinary approaches. Much of what is being done today in biological re-search involves a mult idiscipl inary ap-

proach," Bultman said. Students for the fungi research project will

be chosen in the same manner as they are normally chosen for summer research posi-tions, according to Bultman. Students will be selected based on course work, motiva-tion, desire, and CPA. If a student is inter-ested in the fungi research, he or she should contact Bultman for more information.

Free files may incur fines Anjey D y k h u i s M A N A G I N G E D I T O R

The Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) deals with issues of pirating music and videos and the sharing of copyrighted files online. The Motion Pictures Association of America (MPAA) and the Record-ing Indus t r i e s Assoc i a t i on of America (RIAA) both operate un-der the DMCA and are exercising their rights under it by searching out unauthorized users of their data.

Around the nation, college cam-puses are restricting access to sites l ike M o r p h e u s , Kazaa , and Audiogalaxy in an effort to keep students from downloading copy-righted materials on the campus network. Individual students at other colleges have been pros-ecuted for holding these materials. Hope and its students have not yet been hit with any papers under the DMCA, but would like to remind students that it is illegal to possess copyrighted music or films on their computers without first purchasing

it. "The sharing of copyrighted ma-

terials is against our policy," said Jeff Pestun, project manager in CIT. "If you have material on your com-puter you didn't purchase, chances

are you're violating copyright laws. When you come down to it, it 's against the law, whether we like it

or not." As music companies and the

RIAA continue to improve their methods of finding violators of the DMCA, it will become harder and harder to evade the consequences of possessing pirated music. Indi-viduals can receive fines of up to 25,000 dollars and face possible jail time.

"As we enter into the future with file sharing, especially with illegal files and pirated music, it's going to be a little scary because there will be consequences for it," said Andy Com. Residence Life Coordinator of Kollen hall.

In the meantime, even though Hope and its s tudents have re-mained out of court despite many in the Hope community enjoying pirated files, CIT has received sev-eral notices from the RIAA that stu-dents were in viola t ion of the DMCA. The order is called "cease and desist," and after obtaining one, CIT will go to the student who is using the files and ask them to re-move the file or files in question. No individual student information is released to the RIAA.

"However, if we were subpoe-naed, we 'd have to give student in-formation to them," Pestun said.

As file sharing comes more and more into the computer usage of the common man, students must be more and more informed of the laws concerning it.

We want to see a more active campaign to inform Hope students of the copyright law," Pestun said. "We don't block any kind of traf-fic. We've never been comfortable doing that. At this point, it's not really something we'd do. We just encourage students to inform them-selves about the laws so they don't break them."

Com also warns students of pos-sible risks of file-sharing programs.

"I t 's important for students to note that sometimes programs that are very popular for file-sharing also have what is called ad-ware or spy-ware built into them. What these programs do is share infor-mation about the user of that com-puter to a third party or distribute so many pop-up ads that you almost

can't control it. "Sometimes these programs that

seem like a lot of fun have some heavy shadows on them," Corn said.

with 10 projects and about 100 par-ticipants. Last year those numbers grew to 38 projects with 300 vol-unteers. This year, another com-ponent was added to the program as well; it was called Faith and Call-ing. At the end of the service day, the community service professional coordinator at each site shared their personal calling in life and how it related to the work they did in the

cortimunity. It was helpful for stu-dents to be able to reflect on how they'd spent the day and to rein-force community service as a life-long habit.

Time to Serve was very success-ful in helping to get our new stu-dents to understand that they are now a part of a greater community,"

Breclaw said. It is clear that this program was

a success and benefitted everyone involved, from those who were as-sisted to those who met new people and had fun while serving the Hol-land area. In fact, several groups made arrangements to return to the i r s i tes to he lp with more

projects. Philo summarized, "It was a great

experience and I recommend every-one at Hope do it at least once."

Guest speaker promotes peace

Erin L 'Hot ta S T A F F R E P O R T E R

There is no way to peace-peace is the way," prominent peace activist A.J. Muste once said. Muste, a Hope College graduate in 1905, is recognized for his dream of obtaining peace in a harsh unloving world.

On Tuesday, Sept. 9 Hope College will hold the 18^ annual A.J. Muste Peace Lecture, fea-turing a guest speaker who hon-ors Muste's vision of peace.

The free lecture, held at 3:30 p.m. in Winants Auditorium of Graves Hal l , wil l f ea tu re Earlham College's Professor of Peace and Global Studies Tony Bing. Bing worked at E a r l h a m College and all ac ross the world devoting his life to pro-m o l i n g peace in the M i d d l e East,

"We are c u r r e n t l y l iving in a cu l tu re of war that is des t ruc t ive of the values in which Muste and I believe. My goal is to make a case for jus t ice and show how our government is not heading in a peaceful direc-tion," Bing said. Bing currently serves as Clerk of the National E x e c u t i v e C o m m i t t e e of Peacebu i ld ing Unit of the Amer i can F r i ends Serv ice Committee, and served as Ex-ecutive Director of the Peace Studies Association, where he received the title of Peace Edu-cator of the Year in 1992. Bing retired in 2001 from Earlham College, a small independent college associated with the Re-ligious Society of Friends, af-ter teaching peace and global studies for 31 years.

In 1967 Bing integrated his

views of international peace into the classrooms of Earlham College and Hope College. He exercised the idea of promoting peace in the Middle East by tak-ing a group of students, many from Hope, to the American University of Beirut their jun-ior year. Throughout the entire trip, students promoted peace by teaching and living among the Israeli and Palestinian com-munities.

"The program is dedicated to an understanding of the nature of conflict, the role of violence and nonviolence in conflict situ-ations," Bing said. "Most of the students who were involved in

the program regarded it as their most i m p o r t a n t a c a d e m i c e x p e r i e n c e in college."

In 1982, B i n g f o u n d e d E a r l h a m C o l l e g e ' s Peace Stud-ies Program in Je rusa -lem, The Great Lakes J e r u s a l e m

Program and Northern Ireland Peace Studies Program. Hope was among one of the first four co l l eges to be involved in Bing's peace promoting pro-grams. Hope professors Don Luidens, Larry Penrose and Laurie Engle helped lead these programs to success.

Bing exhibited a great debt of gratitude to Hope College for helping his success is spreading international peace and he ea-gerly awaits his arrival to cam-

pus. "I am looking forward to

coming to Hope and feel deeply honored to be chosen by the Muste Committee," said Bing. "He is one of my heroes and was a great inspiration to me in my spiritual development."

Our apathy should be at the top of our list of things to change this year.

Step out of your shell; step up to some action

Last week, 1 commented on the members of this community changing the face of Hope College and Holland as we know them. I also said that this type of column was a yearly thing for the editor-in-chief to write. This week, I would like to submit a column on another annual topic: apathy.

It has been very evident in the past that the vast majority of Hope students care about nothing but their schoolwork. Oh, it may be true that there are the select few who will venture out of their shell from time to time to further their real-world learning experience, but for the most part, the population on this campus is content to sit in their rooms, tending to their own business.

This attitude, whether it be apathy or simple self-preservation, damages many campus activities designed to promote dialogue or discussion. The attendance at meetings of RISE, the Sexuality Round Table, and even last year's dialogues on race are sparse at best. How can we expect to learn in a diverse community of students if we refuse to make the effort to show up at these events?

The war of attendance attrition does not end at these discus-sions. Events in the arts, whether they be student concerts or recitals or presentations of GPS or VWS, only those who are required to attend for a class usually devote their time. The lack of attendance at these events is sad because of the caliber of perfor-mances that are showcased. Very often, the featured performers are widely known for their talent, and to have them visit a campus as small as Hope's is a valuable opportunity.

As I have already said, this year could be the year to change many things at Hope College, and I think that our traditional apathetic attitude should be at the top of our list. So, to achieve this end, attend a concert, or show up at the next RISE meeting. Get out of your shell and start having discussions with people who think differently outside of the confines of your room. You may just end up finding something that you really like, or change your

mind on an issue.

To the editor:

Concerning your comments in the 8/27 edition of the Anchor, 1 both agree and disagree. I agree with your implication that Hope College needs to change. I don't agree with how you think we should change: namely, changing toward the goal of tolerance.

Now, before everyone reading this gets their blood pressure up, let me present a couple of issues. First, let's consider loaded words, full of emotion and so often used, perhaps abused. Then, let's think about the specific loaded word "tolerance." Perhaps I don't understand what you mean by the loaded words you use. You write about community, coopera t ion , growth, diversity, sexuality, "an open mind," toler-ance, and "a community of edu-cated adults." These words come up in discussions quite often, but what is the actual definition behind them? Many people have some sort of definition (more of just a mere notion, really) from the connota-t ions and implications used by those speakers who most often and

most loudly use the words. But does this mean that these speakers are correct? I don't think so. More specifically, and as an example, let me ponder what you mean by the loaded word "tolerance." Do you mean something to the effect of that anyone's truth is equal to anyone else's and that all options in pretty much everything are equally ac-ceptable (which seems rather rela-tivistic to me)? Or do you mean something more akin to what I think of as just plain respect, where we do listen to each other but are still allowed to say to the other "You're wrong"?

If you mean the former, there is an important reason I can't agree with the goal of tolerance. This meaning of tolerance implies that it is itself a self-refuting misnomer. Consider this. Group A wants ev-eryone to be "tolerant." Group A considers themselves "tolerant" and Group B "intolerant." If A wants B to be "tolerant" and thinks that B must change from their "intoler-ance," A has in effect become "in-to le ran t" of B ' s " in to le rance . " The re fo re , A (who cons idered

themselves "tolerant") are, in fact " in to le ran t . " Thus , using this former meaning, "tolerance" is a self-refuting misnomer.

If by tolerance you mean some-thing akin to the latter, I am more willing to agree. I think people should respect each other with courtesy while paying attention to what others say.

Now, do I have what 1 consider to be a better suggestion? Yes. I think Hope College should change toward the goals of truth and love. I see these as higher aspirations, yet all the more difficult and by no means easy.

Consider these and the other words I 've said with respect to their own load, as "truth" and "love" are themselves loaded words. Do I think that there are similarities be-tween some of your loaded words and your goals and my loaded words and goals, especially "truth" and "love"? Yes. Are the further considerations of these issues out-side the scope of a single editorial? Yes.

Sporting goods

Wilderness Oupost only moments from Hope The Outpost of Holland was established in 1972.

Today, the Outpost of Holland offers some of the finest selection in men's, women's and children's sport and leisure apparel, technical apparel, and both technical and casual footwear. Also, the Out-post stocks quality equipment and accessories for mountain climbing, backpacking, camping, and

travel. Linda Parker, general manager of the Outpost,

says that "the Outpost specializes in many differ-ent areas these being, kayaks, canoes, hiking boots, camping equipment, backpacks, and technical out-

erwear." As a technical-specialty business, maintaining an expert staff has always

been the primary focus of the company. When asked what sets the Outpost apart from other sporting good stores in Holland, Parker said, 'The wide variety of inventory and the staff who are knowledgeable about the prod-

ucts they sell." When Parker was asked why she thought that the Outpost was a good

place for Hope students to shop, she said "We offer the popular trends in outerwear, and we are the only place in Holland to offer North Face ap-parel. If students are planning trips, we can assist them on things they may

need for an outdoor trip."

Serving downtown Holland, stores like the Outpost, Lokers, Gazelle sports

and Roxie's can fulfill a variety of clothing and sporting needs.

Quick Eats Around Town

Tired of the food here on campus? Or maybe missed lunch because of a class and wanted to find somewhere to grab a quick bite to eat that's not too expensive? Here are a few other options for you that are in walking distance from campus and wont cost you a pretty penny.

Quick subs from Quizno's For a quick bite to eat, stop into the mainstream fast-food chain of Quizno's located in

downtown Holland on East Eighth Street. "Students who come in and provide their Hope College ID cards will receive a $ 1.50 discount on any small sub combo," says Kenzie Marks of Quizno's. If that's not enough, try the new mesquite chicken combo for only $5.69. Quinzo's

is open every day except Sunday.

Not simply subs If you want more selection in a sub shop, try right across the street at Subs-N-More. For

$5.75, you can get the seven-inch sub combo deal with a medium pop and choice of potato chips. Meanwhile, grab a slice of pizza to go along with your sandwich. Subs-N-More is also a great place for you to hang out with your friends on the weekend, which is open to 11 p.m.

Fridays and Saturdays, 8 p.m. Sundays.

Hot dogs at hot prices If sub sandwiches aren't your thing, then why not try a small hot dog stand called Gregordog.

"Every Tuesday night is Three Dog Night, three 'gregors,' {hot dogs) bag of chips and a soda for just $5," says owner Greg Vandenberg.

Gregordog is also a convenient walk from the campus located at 210 College Ave. and is open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Saturday (to 9 p.m. Fridays). While you are at Gregordog, check out vintage signs and old newspaper headlines. Gregordog is a unique and cozy place for a

quick bite to eat.

The Caffeine Buzz Around Town

JP's Coffee and Espresso Bar Located at the comer of East Eighth Street and College Avenue, JP's

Coffee has been a longtime favorite of Hope students. Described by one of JP's employees as being 'Very comfortable, warm,

inviting, a lot of booths which encourage conversation between friends" JP's offers a very wide range of drinks from their signature lattes to their regular house blend of coffee. In addition to their great beverage selection JP's offers a wide variety of snacks to munch if you so desire.

"We get everybody in here, most common type would be a person who is coming to look for a place to talk with friends, or a quite place to study. Anyone from teenagers to senior citizens," says one employee of JP's

JP's operates 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., Monday through Thursday; and to mid-night Friday and Saturday. With capacity for more than 85 people, plus

Great Impressions

Shared art exhibit makes its way to campus Friday Local art galleries feature Dutch roots

Jenny Cencer S T A F F R E P O R T E R

In collaboration with the Hol-land Museum, the Holland Area Arts Council, Freedom Village, Grand Valley State University, and Hope College's DePree Art Gallery, "Shared Impressions: Contemporary Dutch Prints" will be opening Friday.

Each gallery will be sepa-rately fej.turing 130 prints from the col lec t ion of Cyri l L ixenberg , a sculp tor and graphic artist from Amsterdam, whose compilation consists of

approximately 500 Dutch prints in total. Lixenberg studied at Ecole Des Beaux Arts of Paris as well as London's Central School of the Arts and Crafts. He specializes in two-dimensional works crafted from med iums such as a l u m i n u m , Plexiglas and steel.

'There 's no absolute values, no absolute truth in art," Lixenberg said. "You go from your experi-

ence." Lixenberg's immense structures

have been displayed in a variety of venues throughout Amsterdam, Ann Arbor, London, and New York. Currently a resident of Amsterdam, Lixenberg will be attending several showings of his collection through-

out Holland.

The showcase will feature the Dutch contribution to artistic style over the past fifty years. Current residents of Holland and patrons of Grand Valley State University, James and Donna Brooks recently purchased and generously donated Lixenberg's amassed collection of Dutch prints to GVSU's perma-nent showcase.

The Dutch artistic movements of style will be emphasized, in-cluding works from artists such as Victor Vasarely, Barbara Hep worth, and Karel Appel. In ad-dition, DePree will host an open-ing reception featuring Lixenberg from 5 to 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 12. All are encouraged to attend the reception.

Opulence will grace both the walls and floor of the Holland Area Arts Council with its presence.

"Extraordinary" artwork comes to Holland

Maureen Yonovitz A R T S EDITOR

The Holland Area Arts Council has been keeping busy. Besides its involvement with the collaborative Shared Impressions exhibit show-ing in DePree Gallery. HAAC has an instal lment of its own. In HAAC's Eighth Street gallery from now until Sept. 27 is Visceral Opu-lence, an installation by Anne Mondro, a jewelry designer and

metal-smith. By definition, in an installation,

the art is actually made for the space that it is displayed in and will use that space in its entirety for the artist's work. This is one of the things that helps the decision pro-cess in which artists who propose their work will actually have it fea-

tured in the HAAC gallery. "We try to keep it pretty varied,

to have a lot of different art forms in the room," said Jason Kalajainen, HAAC Executive Director. "We try to have it edgy and different."

It is clear from the name of this exhibit that Mondro's installation is no exception to the rule. Viscera are the body's internal organs and opulence is something extraordi-narily interesting to the eye. The installation's central piece is a large metal work, which is then sur-rounded by smaller pieces made mainly with felt.

"The felted pieces represent, in my mind, organs, tissues, that sort of thing," Kalajainen said.

Gallery hours are from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. Admission is free of charge. All are welcome to stop by.

Hear wedding bells? I have some news lo share: The "Senior Scramble" is

For all of you new to Hope, Senior Scramble is the great race to the altar. It usually goes like this; innocent underclass-men and women wander through their first three years single or casually dating—but senior year starts and the word "wedding" starts flying everywhere.

There are all sorts of cute stories—the she-was-my-OA-leader couple. The he-was-my-Nykerk (or Pull)-moraler couple. The we-always-ate-at-Phelps-at-the-same-time-but-we-never-met-til-later couple. It's the same story—a date, a diamond, and dum-dum-dee-

Cross country starts season off strongly Flying Dutch kick off running season at Van Raalte Farm

Steve Adair S P O R T S EDITOR

Continuing iheir tradition of hosting the Bill Vanderbilt Invita-tional with style, the Flying Dutch won the event while the Dutchmen came in second behind repeat champion Albion. The race was run under perfect conditions from Van Raalte Farm in Holland. Winning the race for the Flying Dutch was Tina Pike ( ' 05) with a time of 18:43. One of the many "boatload of freshmen women" according to coach Northuis, Allison Mejeur ('07), made quite a splash, finish-ing fourth in her collegiate debut with a time of 19:18. Altogether, the Dutch came away with a team composite score of 23 points and placed in seven of the top ten spots.

a good performance as well, run-ning "faster than expected," com-mented Northuis immediately after the race. Tyson Warner ( '06) led the way for the Dutchmen, finish-ing fourth with a time of 26:16. While Cornerstone and Albion run-ners claimed the number one and two spots, Hope led the way with five runners in the top ten.

Looking ahead, the cross coun-

try team feels it has a chance against national powerhouse Calvin. The Calvin Knights are the M1AA de-fending champions. Northuis said the team is looking forward to "see-ing Calvin six times this year". They will see their next action at the North Central Invitational on Friday in Naperville, Illinois.

Both squads prepare on improv-ing from the 2002 season which

Hope blanks Siena Heights 1-0 in season opener Friday

Steve Adair S P O R T S EDITOR

The preseason hype called Hope an aberration, a team that was young and lucky in '02 and had lost what little it had to graduation. You

could just imagine Hope's opponents s i t t ing around a copy of the roster. Only two seniors? Siena Heights came to town with these thoughts on their minds. Last season's 5-1 blowout of the Dutch had boosted their confidence a little too high, which was just what the Dutch

needed. Make no mistake, it was domi-

nation. The ball was constantly on Hope's side of the field. At times things got ugly during the 16-5 shot on goal onslaught. But with just over three minutes left in the game, Tess Scholz ('06) gained control of a comer kick from fellow sopho-more Emily Tyler ('06), broke, and from 18 yards away sent a nail through the coffin of a team that had done the unforgivable: they had let Hope stick around. Shot after shot

was fired off in the direction of grossly underrated Holly Nestle ('07), a first time starting freshman goalie who simply could not be denied against a nationally ranked

Siena team. "I think our team played well

being our first game of the season,'* says Scholz. "We played with a lot of heart, but we still have room for

improvement." Fact is, Dutch

soccer is no aberra-tion. They fought hard and won the ba t t le of mental endurance. They

didn't let themselves become dis-couraged when they were beat down field and watched numerous shots being turned away by their soon-to-be star goalie. Despite be-ing dominated in every statistical category- except the score, they proved to everyone watching that they were for real in 2003, not three

years from now. No experience? Yes, there may

only be two seniors, but according to in ter im coach Lindsey Engelsman, "A lot of those sopho-mores are second year starters... we have more experience than many think." Coach Steve Smith of the men's soccer team com-mented at a preseason press con-

The Flying Dutch are optimistic about the upcoming 2003 soccer season.

ference that "the women's team would shock some people."

Siena Heights might agree with that assessment.

"Our expectations this year are even greater than last year's," says Scholz. "Our goal is to be the first women's soccer team at Hope to win the M1AA conference and ad-vance to the NCAA's (tournament which begins November 12,

2003)." Leigh Sears, who was the head

coach since 2000, is on an academic

leave-of-absence to pursue post-graduate studies during the 2003 season. This opened the door for Engelsman who was a three-year starter and All-MIAA player for Hope College, who still holds the single-season record with 12 as-

sists. This weekend the Flying Dutch

will travel to Illinois to take on two College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin opponents in Illinois Wesleyan and Millikin University.
