When will Hope be ready? Timing is everything. From football games to getting three papers

done in a weekend , l iming is everything. This age-old wisdom was

referred to once more this month when Hope decided to pos tpone

the Gay/Lesb ian Fi lm series. Eleven c a m p u s g roups and academic

depar tments were told that the l iming s imply wasn ' t r ight for them

to conduct their series. T h e film series was s imply the wrong thing

at the wrong lime, as far as the leaders of the col lege are concerned.

The off icial reasoning is that the adminis t ra t ion does not want to stir

up divis ions of ihe past r ight now, so that the message of academic

learning and unders tanding will not be lost in argument .

But there might be other factors , factors which Hope may nol be

so quick to talk about . The re is already a series of films and

speeches going on as a part of the Hispanic Month activities, and

two series at one t ime might be too much. T h e Peale Science Center

renovation project is going on, and negat ive publici ty for the col lege

lhal might arise f rom such an issue could j eopard ize funding. And

the chapla in ' s o f f i ce is in transition right now, and the release of the

series could be const rued as an af f ront to staff m e m b e r s w h o have

been vocal on the issue in the past.

So okay, the film series will not run because the t iming isn ' t right.

But Hope must ask itself when the t iming will be right. With luck,

the series will run smoothly next semester , and generate a lot of

peaceful , thought fu l , and serious discussion. Hopefu l ly the films

will be received academical ly and openly, and there will be no more

than a blip of controversy on Hope ' s radar screen.

However , past exper iences point to other possibili t ies. Less than

two years ago, Hope ' s c a m p u s was embroi led wilh discussion and

arguing over homosexual i ty , an argument fueled in part by speakers

that were brought in by organizat ions . Homosexua l issues have been

a powde r keg for Hope , and part of the hesitation on the film series

m a y be fueled by the concern that the topic may explode again.

But t w o years have passed , and perhaps Hope is now ready to

handle the topic careful ly and respectful ly. When the taboos of

discussion are l if ted, and s tudents are f ree to share their opinions,

f rom tolerant lo intolerant and all shades in be tween, then the l iming

will be l ight. And le t ' s h o p e that those condi t ions will be present

when the film series runs this spr ing.

Editor in Chief More Financial Advice Recently, more than a f ew

students have c o m e lo m e

wilh concerns about the

financial situation at H o p e

College. Their concerns are

varied, but all point to the

same over-arching issue:

Hope Col lege is having

trouble with consis tency in its

financial strategy. For

instance, one alert reader told

me of the elaborate display of

fireworks af ter the football

game, which caused him

concern after hearing about

copy charges for class

handouts and magaz ine

subscript ions. He was

concerned that the col lege

spent a great deal of money

producing colored lights in

the sky over the Municipal

Stadium, yet could not spring

$35 dollars to provide an

entire class of s tudents with

access lo an important

resource magazine . Frankly, I

too am disturbed by this, and

other instances of mixed

financial priorit ies at Hope.

In the past years, I have

offered Hope my gracious

services as a financial

advisor, but they have yel lo

lake up my offer. All of my

plans to ei ther earn the

col lege money, or save the

col lege money, have thus fell

on deaf ears. T h e co l lege

seems ei ther unready or

unwil l ing to take the neces-

sary steps to fiscal so lvency

that I am ready lo provide.

Because the co l lege s imply

cannot find an appropriate

and sensible f inancial

strategy, I am once again

thrust into the dr iver ' s seat

and feel obligated to o f fe r the

col lege my advice.

Investment is the key lo a

s trong financial base. Hope

defini tely needs to p lace a

large amount of their savings

into the s tock market , lo

make s o m e capital gains. T h e

col lege is guaranteed a big

return for their investment if they

choose s locks l ike L.A. Gear,

Jordache, and Studebaker. T h e

boom for these s locks is just

around the corner , and Hope

should r ide the wave lo financial

prosperity.

Another essential e lement to

sound financing is the wi l l ingness

to commi t a little capital to reap

big rewards down the road. For

instance, Hope should def ini te ly

provide cable service f ree of

charge lo all the res idences on

campus . It would be a large

investment , but think of the

returns that will come when

mass ive numbers of s tudents

return for fifth and sixth years to

retake classes that they failed

thanks to Knight Rider reruns.

El iminat ing was tefu l and

ineff icient projects and p rog rams

is a s imple way to creating

financial solidarity. Hope already

made a big step in this direct ion.

They have s lopped s tudents f r o m

simply placing quar ters in the

laundry machines in their resi-

dence halls, a thoroughly was tefu l

and ineff ic ient process . Instead,

wilh the new s t reamlined laundry

card system, students need only

walk t w o blocks to the Klelz,

where the only laundry card

deposi t machine is located, call

main tenance because the machine

is broken, wait three days for it to

be fixed, walk back to the Klelz

and put money on the card, br ing

it back to their res idence and do

their laundry. Talk about an

eff ic ient sys tem. Other problem

areas on campus should be

addressed with the s a m e can-do

attitude. Take the process of

checking one ' s e-mai l , or drop-

ping by a faculty m e m b e r ' s o f f i ce

lo ask a quest ion. T h e s e things are

far too s imple, and could certainly

benef i t f rom the same improve-

ments m a d e for the laundry

sys tem.

Unfortunately, the word layoffs

c o m e s up far too often when

deal ing with solut ions to f inancial

mismanagement . Big f i reworks

d i sp lays and re furn ish ing

campus res idences so they can

be marginal ly descr ibed as a

Spartan sort of comfor t level

costs a great deal of money,

and one way lo save those big

bucks is lo let go a f ew of the

less necessary employees . For

Hope , the answer to layoff

ques t ions lie in our def ini t ion

of this col lege. Hope is a

liberal arts school , and I think

that we should have a liberal

arts faculty and staff. N o

longer will Engl ish professors

con f ine their s tudies to

l i terature and writ ing, they will

a lso get the chance to broaden

their hor izons by taking out

the trash f rom campus

facili t ies. And the grounds-

keeping staff will no longer

jus t keep our c a m p u s clean

and beaut i ful , they will a lso be

teaching the French language

lo s tudents as a part of the staff

cultural core requi rement . Yes,

with geology professors

doubl ing as publ ic safety, and

the workers in the bus iness

o f f i ce leaching m o d e m dance ,

H o p e will be able to solve its

s ta f f ing concerns and fur ther

advanc ing the liberal arts

perspect ive for all w h o work at

Hope.

T h e s e sugges t ions should

work well fo r the col lege, and

they fit the already present

al t i tude lhal the col lege is a

vehicle des igned for mak ing

money. By p romot ing the idea

that col lege is a place for

s tudents lo grow and learn, or

the idea that educat ional

oppor tuni t ies fo r s tudents

should c o m e before f i r eworks

d i sp lays a f te r football games ,

the col lege is det rac t ing f rom

its m o n e y - m a k i n g capabil i t ies .

It is m y wish that the adminis-

tration of Hope Col lege finally

fo l low a bit of m y sound

advice, and truly focus the

col lege on wha t is most

impor tant lo us all: the bot tom

line.

Cutting away the oaln Why people hurt themselves to deal

with emotional distress. Jane Bast INFOCUS EDITOR

I remember the sting of the blade as it slowly made its way up my arm and the little drops of blood that surfaced in its wake. And I remember the burn of the cigarette against the skin of my arm. Looking at my belly and thighs, I can no longer see the traces of empty nights, but I know they were there.

ing death , but the intent be ing pa in , " sa id Di rec tor of the C o u n s e l i n g Center Kristen Gray. " A n d

with the phys ica l pain g iv ing relief to emo t iona l d i s t ress . "

The behav io r has ga ined recent nat ional a t tent ion a f t e r several m a j o r n e w s magaz ines , in-

c lud ing N e w s w e e k , fea tured c o v e r s tor ies on the topic.

" I t ' s b e c o m e m o r e vis ible in the last ten yea r s , " Gray said. "But I d o n ' t think it 's new."

The behav io r may mani fes t itself in m a n y ways , not jus t in razor cuts . A person

suf fe r ing f r o m cut t ing behav io r may c h o o s e to burn t h e m s e l v e s with c igaret tes ,

make d e e p scra tches , hit their f o r ea rms against a sharp table edge , or repeatedly

smash a hand agains t the wal l .

" P e o p l e d o d i f fe ren t behav io r s based on what the person d i scovers w o r k s

best for t h e m , " G r a y said. " I t ' s h ighly ind iv idua l ized . "

And it can b e c o m e addic t ing .

" O n e of the ways that p e o p l e look at cu t t ing behav io r is that it g ives

a sense of relief because cu t t ing re leases ad rena l ine , " Gray said. "It

becomes a pure addict ion and a very se l f - re in forc ing habit . Instead of

ident i fy ing the emo t ions and how [a person] can help to change that ,

[the person] jus t does m o r e cu t t ing . "

Al though the behav io r i sn ' t in tent ional ly suic idal , occas iona l ly a

person will cut t h e m s e l v e s too deeply. Then the behav io r b e c o m e s a

medical threat. Also, sel f - inf l ic ted injuries can lead to pennanen t scar-

ing-

"Scar ing is a risk peop le d o n ' t lake to ser ious ly at this point in

their l ives ," Gray said.

But w h a t l e a d s a

person to cu t?

" I t ' s a sense of be-

ing o v e r w h e l m e d by

e m o t i o n a l p a i n a n d

not feel ing as t hough

there are out le t s and

op t ions to deal wi th

it," Gray said. " A lot

o f t i m e s I h e a r , 4I

wan t the o ther pain to

g o a w a y , ' and tha t ' s

t he e m o t i o n a l pa in .

P e o p l e a r e o v e r -

w h e l m e d a n d d o n ' t

know where to tu rn ."

G r a y i s q u i c k to

ment ion lhal a l though the behav io r is not technical ly suicidal , the Counse l ing Cen te r does not take it lightly.

" S o m e one w h o e n g a g e s in this behav io r is in very ser ious pa in , " Gray said. " I t ' s a very se r ious i ssue ."

Bes ides physical ha rm, cu t t ing behav io r causes untold social d a m a g e . By choos ing to cut , a person b locks h im or herself away f r o m f r i ends a n d fami ly in order to avoid ques t ions about scars.

"I think a risk is social a l iena t ion ," Gray said. "If you have mul t ip le c igare t te burns , if your a r m s are all cut up, peop le are go ing to say, 'Tha t ' s not r i gh t . ' "

Al though a person w h o cu ts m a y feel there arc no o ther a l ternat ives to deal with pain . Gray insists this is not the case .

"There arc opt ions , lots of op t ions for s o m e b o d y dea l ing wi th this ," Gray said. "But you have to talk abou t it. The next t ime you have an urge to cut , f ind s o m e t h i n g e lse to do . "

Gray also s t resses the impor tance of r econnec t ing wi th f r iends and fami ly w h e n trying to beat the urge to cut.

"Call people , say you wan t to g o to a m o v i e , " Gray said. "Reconnec t and d o n ' t let yourself be a lone . Take a pass ion and connec t it with a g r o u p or activity on c a m p u s . "

Also, a s tudent su f fe r ing f r o m cut t ing behav io r should spend t ime with a counse lo r or therapist .

"Find s o m e o n e you trust and have that person c o m e to a counse l ing session with you , " Gray said. "Seek s o m e kind of counse l ing . S o m e kind of he lp that will he lp . " S tudents w h o wish to use Hope counse l i ng serv ices s imply need to m a k e a p h o n e call.

"We d o n ' t ask for the issue over the phone . " Gray said. " I t ' s f ree and it 's conf ident ia l . Any th ing we discuss will not be a part of your school r eco rd . "

I know that the blade in my top drawer would provide an explain-able wound, one that has an an-swer to the questions: Where does it hurt? How does it hurt? Why does it hurt?

sneak ing in eve ry bit of s n o w -

etched and l ine-s t reaked T V that

I can. I love the O l y m p i c s .

W h e n I was in e igh th grade

w o o d s h o p , I m a d e a c lock in the

fo rm of the O l y m p i c r ings , with

red and green and yel low, blue

and black and whi te paint . I

loved the O l y m p i c s .

My love is for the c h a m p i o n ' s

heart . And it c o m e s in n o place

like it c o m e s in the O l y m p i c s .

T h e idea of the c h a m p i o n ' s

heart is a roman t i c one , but it

has pul led me to the best p laces

in my life.

W h e n I was in e ighth grade , I

wanted to be a gymnas t . 1

thought it was m y t icket to the

O l y m p i c s until ninth grade ,

when I got a little m o r e pract i -

cal. My goal was reduced a bit

and the total of it was to m a k e

my high schoo l ' s varsi ty

vol leybal l t eam. In s o m e ways ,

that p roved to be j u s t as d i f f icul t

as be ing an O l y m p i c gymnas t .

I m a d e the ninth grade team

not for my talent , but for my

hard work . I had de te rmina t ion ,

and how cou ld any coach turn

a w a y a little girl w h e n he k n e w

her w h o l e wor ld was ba lanced

on the idea of p lay ing vol ley-

bal l? So, g a m e by g a m e I wen t

through the season, usua l ly on

the bench.

The next year , it was t ime to

try out for the j u n i o r varsi ty team.

Th i s t ime I m a d e i t—but it w a s a

mis take . T h e y though t I was

s o m e o n e else. But then h o w cou ld

a n y coach turn a w a y a d r e a m e r w h o

thought they were on their way to

their d r e a m ?

T h a t year , I sat on them all: w o o d

benches , meta l benches , fo ld ing

chai rs .

T h e next year, it was t ime to

tackle the b igges t beast of all:

varsi ty t ryouts . It was hell. I ran the

mi le as fast as I cou ld ( the w h o l e

reason 1 had ran track for two

years) ; I did as m a n y t imed push

ups and sit ups as I could wi thout

ser ious ly d a m a g i n g m y body ; I

laughed and cheered and acted as

pos i t ive as I k n e w h o w — d e s p i t e the

c r u m b l i n g for t ress ins ide of me .

W h e n the resul ts c a m e in, I was

given two choices : I cou ld take a

p e r m a n e n t posi t ion on the bench a s

" m a n a g e r " of the j .v. team, or I

cou ld leave the bench behind m e

forever .

I chose manager . I prac t iced with

girls w h o we re a year y o u n g e r than

me whi le I watched my c lassmates

wear their varsity letters. And the

only l imes I eve r left the bench was

to run and get a pair of shoes or a

wa te r bott le one of the other gir ls

had left behind.

Th i s t ime I was a little smar te r

though: I d i d n ' t was te the s u m m e r

go ing to the mov ie s or hang ing out

at the mall . I p layed vol leybal l .

It was rough year for me ,

and m y torch had been

ex t inguished by reality. But

the d r e a m cast le I had built

deep wi th in me was still there.

It was heavi ly for t i f ied by

n o w and bur ied in c louds of

s m o k e , but it was there .

So, my senior year, I

p layed . And for real this t ime.

T h e bench was still a good

f r iend of mine , but a f t e r six

yea r s of p lay ing vol leybal l ,

my feet had finally found the

cour t .

All I have to r e m e m b e r : the

pain, the insecuri ty and

every th ing I put u p with on

my way the re is wor th a smal l

meda l , abou t the s ize o f a half

dollar , eng raved with "Dig -

g ing D e e p " on the back . T h i s

was m y c o a c h ' s award and it

was all wor th it.

I will sit for the next two

weeks on m y blue so fa and

gaze at the small te levis ion on

the its old w o o d e n s tand in

be tween tests and papers and

h o m e w o r k ass ignments for the

next two weeks . And I will

pre tend I am the s w i m m e r ; the

runner ; the gymnas t reaching

for des t iny ' s end and beyond .

And I will bel ieve once again

in the c h a m p i o n ' s heart . It is

this heart , that I have bor-

rowed off of them, that has

car r ied me through life.

N y e n h u i s has also seen changes

in the s tudent body be tween 1975

" T h e s tudents express their fai th

more overt ly then they did 25 years

a g o [and] the s tudent body is qui te

VWS sure to bring smiles and tears Jenny Alder ink Staff Wri ter

In 1982 Jack Ridl , an Eng l i sh

professor al Hope College, founded

a program in hopes of shar ing as-

pects of o ther cul tures in order to

d ivers i fy the literary communi ty of

Hope Col lege and Holland. Almos t

twenty years later the Visiting Writ-

ers Scries cont inues to fo l low its

mission s ta tement and entertain the

c o m m u n i t y a n d H o p e s t u d e n t s

while also building for itself a "no-

table reputation in Mich igan . "

In the upcoming semester the au-

thors were all chosen as a part of

the theme of southern writ ing. Ac-

cording to Heather Sellers, profes-

sor of English, southern writers are

general ly k n o w n for their h u m o r

and wit so this fa l l ' s pe r fo rmances

de f in i t e ly should not be mi s sed .

T h e f i r s t p e r f o r m a n c e is by Jill

"Zombi , You M y Love: Stories of

Sep tember 26 at the Knickerbocker

Theater .

T h e r e p u t a t i o n t h a t H o p e

C o l l e g e ' s Vis i t ing Wri ters Ser ies

holds is not because of any great

scholars or literary magazines that

attend or cri t ique the performances .

Hope has the reputation of a great

Visiting Writers Series because they

br ing in excep t iona l wr i t e r s and

present them in a warm and intimate

env i ronment .

T h e s e wel l -known authors c o m e

to Hope because " they en joy the

students, the faculty and the hospi-

tality they are shown , " said Dana

Lamers( 4 01) , an Engl ish major and

ass is tant d i rec tor of the Visi t ing

Writers Series.

Af te r the readings, there is a t ime

of quest ion and answer, followed by

a book signing. These recept ions

book titled "Final Vinyl Days and arc a c h a n c e for the s tudents to m-

Opus plans changes for year Emily Moel lman A R T S EDITOR

Opus has big plans in store for

the new school year. These p lans

will m a k e O p u s the best it has ever

been.

T h e l i terary m a g a z i n e that has

been a t rad i t ional pub l i ca t ion of

Hope Col lege ' s English depar tment

for years is about to undergo s o m e

m a j o r c h a n g e s that e d i t o r N o a h

TuckerCOO) h o p e s will open the

magaz ine to a wider range of stu-

dents on Hope ' s campus .

Changes in store fo r O p u s this

y e a r i n c l u d e p u t t i n g ou t t h r e e

smaller, more selective publications

for the year, periodic open mic read-

ings on campus , and a more diverse

magazine.

Another change f rom last yea r ' s

Opus is that a selection staff for the

poetry and literature will be chosen

by the editor through an application

process . Last year , the select ion

staff was comple te ly inclusive.

Opus is now accept ing applica-

tions for its selection staff . Tucker

invites and encourages all and any

s tudents w h o have an interest in

poetry or literature to apply. Tucker

hopes to choose his staff by the end

of the month .

For each publication of Opus , the

selection staff reads and d iscusses

each piece of work submit ted, and

then votes on the pieces which they

feel fit best in the latest edit ion of

Opus .

"If there is a d i screpancy as to

which picces will be chosen among

the staff for Opus , the staff will rc-

teract with intelligent and experi-

enced authors who are sensi t ive to

the world a round them.

" W e se lec t wr i t e r s . . . w h o a re

known for working well with stu-

dents, " Sel lers said.

To some, it might be thought that

these readings or pe r fo rmances are

geared more towards English ma-

jors or writers or people w h o abso-

lutely love to read. The faculty and

s tudents involved with the Visiting

Wri ters Series test ify that the pro-

gram does not only appeal to the

deep thinkers.

"Mos t people really, really love

being read to," Sellers said.

These pe r fo rmances bring back

feel ings or memor ies f r o m child-

hood as the audience listens to an-

other person artfully express their

thoughts on life and learns about

other peoples and cultures. These

r e a d i n g s can be in te l lec tua l and

moving, but they are also intended

for pure enter tainment . T h e s e au-

thors are talented people w h o know

what kinds of pe r fo rmances e v o k e

life and interest and laughter and

even tears f r o m their audience .

"We all respond ... to the power

of beaut i ful words, and startlingly

true percept ions ," Sel lers said. " I

think it 's as bas ic a need as a need

for food ."

E v e r y o n e is l ook ing fo r s o m e

mean ing in their lives, and many

people have had interesting experi -

ences in their l ives. T h e hardest

part is express ing those feel ings in

a story that others can relate to also.

Th i s is what wri ters do.

T h e Visi t ing Writers Series will

be performing at the Knickerbocker

Theater as they demonstrate expres-

sion at it best.

Admiss ion is free, and more in-

formation can be found on the Vis-

i t i n g W r i t e r s W e b s i t e ( h t t p : / /

www.hopc .edu/vws/ . )

T h e pe r fo rmances of the Visi t ing

Writers Series help the audience to,

as the mission s ta tement says, "ex-

per ience the wor ld in a word . "

d i scuss each piece and then vote

again" , said Tucker. "I bel ieve this

process is fair and e th ica l"

Edi tor- in-chief N o a h Tucker , a

Engl ish and history ma jo r with a

Russian minor , applied for the po-

sition and was chosen as the new

editor this summer . Tuckcr worked

on O p u s in the selection staff his

sophomore year and also has writ-

ten many poems and works of fic-

tion himself .

T u c k c r w a n t s r eade r s to k n o w

that, a l though the O p u s magazine

itself will become more select ive

this year, the organizat ion will be-

c o m e inclusive to all s tudents on

c a m p u s t h r o u g h t h e o p e n m i c

nights.

O p u s is p lanning on having its

first open mic poetry night before

the end of the month . Tucker hopes

that open mic nights give beginning

wri ters an outlet for their work , and

also expose the campus to the wide

variety of talented wri ters that are

running around Hope. v r d like to see O p u s get itself

out of the closet of the Engl ish de-

partment and destroy the stereotype

that the magaz ine is only for En-

glish ma jo r s , " said Tucker "I want

people to believe that they can read

thei r s tuf f and be apprec ia t ed as

well as have an opportuni ty to dis-

play their work ."

Tucke r a l so has p lans to make

O p u s m o r e of a p r e sence on the

internet in the next f ew months.

SWINE TIME: Artist Kate Moynihan's "Pigment" is displayed in front of Old Kent Bank on 8th St. The Pig is decorated by actual tubes of paint to represent the pigments that make up the paints that artists traditionally use. Other pigs have been designed to look like Uncle Sam and Van Gogh's "Starry Night".

P i g s f r o m p a g e 1

Clothiers located on the c o m e r of 8th St. and Co lumbia Ave., finds that

the exhibi t has been good for c o m m e r c e and tourism. Blackbridge Cloth-

iers has a patriotic pig of their very own in their store w indow titled "Uncle

H a m W a n t s You" d e s i g n e d by ar t is ts Valer ie S p o e l h o f and Valer ie

Snoeyink and sponsored by Hoekst ra for Congress .

"The pig has brought in a lot of business ," said Kolk "A lot of famil ies

have come inside to look at the pig and take pic tures" .

Blackbr idge Clo th ier ' s pig is unique because it is the only pig in the

exhibit to sit upright. According to Kolk , the artists had to s aw off the

pigs a rms and head and reposit ion them to achieve its upright posi t ion.

T h e pigs will be corralled off the streets the last week in Sep tember to

get prepared to be auct ioned off at the "Pig Roast" at the Arts Counci l .

This "Pig Roas t " will take place on September 22 f rom 6-11 p.m. There

are eight eager pigs that are looking for a new home . T h e base price for

this auct ion is yet to be determined by the Pig 's Commi t t ee .

If becoming a new owner for one of these creat ive creatures sparks

your interest or if just a t tending the "Pig Roas t " sounds en joyab le , t ickets

can be purchased for $ 2 0 at the Hol land Area Arts Counci l on 8th street,

They are guaranteed easy pets!

Scoring for the Dutch were Emily Dirkse ('02), Liz Dornbos ('02) on a pen-alty kick, and Danielle Nave ('04) who scored her first collegiate goal. Goalkeeper Lauren Hinkle ('04) deliv-ered the shutout. The victory was the first for new head coach Leigh Sears. The team had a rocky start to their year, after several key team members suf-fered season-ending injuries. The Dutch host Calvin College Saturday, September 16 at noon.

F R O M THE S T A N D S

Sports Editor Arwady's Picks T h e s e are my p icks for the u p c o m i n g week in Sports , and the

games that will a f f ec t y o u r l ife. S o m e m o r e than others .

H O P E F O O T B A L L - T h e D u t c h m e n travel to D e P a u w , Ind.

Looking for s o m e r e v e n g e a f t e r last years 27 -21 loss to the Tigers .

H o w e v e r this w e e k s o p p o n e n t s d e f e n s i v e l ine w o n ' t look like the

Crusader s f r o m last week that shut d o w n H o p e ' s o f f ense . L o o k

for H o p e to gel back on t rack led by our great de fense , which will

score two t o u c h d o w n s . H o p e 35, D e P a u w 10.

H O P E V O L L E Y B A L L - T h e Dutch will win all three ma tches

this week . H o w e v e r of the three ma tches , Adr ian , St. M a r y ' s , and

A l m a the one that will be the best to wa tch will be Adr ian . Look

for the Dutch to s h o w that last Saturday 's s w e e p of Ca lv in wasn ' t

a f luke .

I I O P E S O C C E R - I see t he men spl i t t ing g a m e s at their tourna-

ment in W i l m i n g t o n . Ohio . H o w e v e r o n e thing is for sure if one of

their g a m e s goes into ove r t ime , look for Chr i s S te r l ing ( 4 04) the

pride of M o n t e g o Bay, J a m a i c a to score the w i n n i n g goa l , and d o

a victory d a n c e that p e o p l e in O h i o will b e ta lking abou t for years .

T h e w o m e n ' s t eam p lays at h o m e on Sa turday agains t Ca lv in , and

a l though they are c o m i n g o f f the shutout v ic tory ove r Adr ian on

Tuesday , 1 d o n ' t see m u c h of a c h a n c e agains t Ca lv in . Ca lv in 3,

Hope 1. but I hope I ' m wrong .

M I C H I G A N ® U C L A - I jus t w a n t to put it out there that I a m a

H U G E John N a v a r r e fan . He leads the nat ion in pass ing ef f i -

ciency with a 238 .8 ra t ing, for those of you that d o n ' t k n o w wha t

that means , d o n ' t wor ry nei ther d o I.

I like Mich igan in this g a m e if Nava r r e p lays the major i ty of the

g a m e H o w e v e r if " o v e r r a t e d " D r e w H e n s o n plays. M I C H I G A N

W I L L L O S E 35-28 . H o w e v e r w i t h Nava r r e M I C H I G A N W I L L

W I N 35-28 .

M I C H I G A N ST.@ M I S S O U R I - 1 will be a t tending th is g a m e in

Missour i wi th my little sister Abbey , so this gua ran tees a victory

for Slate. A n o t h e r r eason they will win is that Missour i is c o m i n g

off a 62 -9 she l l ack ing by 16th ranked C l e m s o n . Look for m y boy

TJ Ducke t t to rush for 5 T D ' s , and f o r Jef f S m o k e r to run the

o f f e n s e to well that a qua r t e rback con t roversy will start at M S U .

M S U 51. Missour i 10.

L I O N S vs. T A M P A BAY- T h e L i o n s o f f e n s e will f inal ly score a

t o u c h d o w n on Sunday . Not ice h o w I say " a " . T h e L i o n s best

p layer this year Jason Hanson will k ick 5 m o r e f ie ld goals , w h i c h

will give the Lions the sl im 22-21 victory ove r the Bucs . H o w e v e r

the thing to watch out for is a 61 -ya rd f ie ld goal by Mar t in

Grama t i ca as t ime exp i r e s to win the g a m e for T a m p a 24-22 .

IM S P O R T S - T h e A n c h o r ' s co -ed f l ag foo tba l l t e a m (Black

Squi r re l s o* Dea th ) will start off their season W e d n e s d a y night

with a lough loss 4 9 - 0 at the h a n d s of T h e Crew. H o w e v e r the

Black Squi r re l s o ' Dea th will r e b o u n d and c o m e out with a c lose

42 -0 lose to Big D o g s I on M o n d a y night .

C L O S I N G T H O U G H T S - Ind iana is w r o n g for k ick ing out

Bobby Knight . Knight will j o in the Ind iana Pacers as an ass is tant

coach. File will t r ans fe r to M S U . Not re D a m e will g o downhi l l

due to losses of Batt le and Irons. Lou Hol t z is the man a f t e r he

takes his South Ca ro l i na G a m e c o c k s to 3 -0 on the year a f te r they

heal Eastern Mich igan on Saturday. Not bad for a t eam that had

previous ly lost 21 g a m e s in a row. Hope footbal l t eam will go

unde fea t ed in M I A A play this year, and d o well in the p layof f s .
