Faculty hiring-discussion continues

by Trecy Lysaught As a follow-up of the Sept. 27 session,

the faculty again met last Tuesday to con-tinue the discussion of the administra-tion's policy on faculty hiring. At the close of the meeting on the 27th, a motion was presented calling for a vote on the Profes-sional Interest Committee resolution; the r e s o l u t i o n a s k s fo r r e v i s i o n s of "Procedures to be Followed in the Recruitment of Persons to the Hope Col-lege facul ty." This document, subtitled "Draf t III", was prepared by the ad hoc committee for review of the guidelines for faculty hiring; a committee of the Ad-m i n i s t r a t i v e A f f a i r s B o a r d . T h e members are Prof. William Reynolds (cha i rman) ; President Van Wylen; Pro-vost Marker ; and Profs .Larry Penrose, Elton Bruins, Charles Huttar , Dennis Voskuil, David Meyers, and Eldon Greij . The PIC resolution asks that Draf t III ". . .be so written as to ensure that the practice of religious exclusivity in hiring will not occur ." After continued discus-sion today, a vote to accept or reject the resolution was taken; the faculty decided 72-36 to accept the resolution. Action will now be taken by the ad hoc commit tee , meeting today: the issue will be introduc-ed at the Administrative Affairs Board on Oct. 20. There is a tentative November date set for the AAB's final vote on the en-tire document.

During the discussion this week, many of the supporters of clause F (requiring "commitment to the Historic Christian faith and a desire to advance the integra-tion of faith and learning through per-sonal example and free intellectual in-quiry") took the opportunity to s ta te their points of view, but again, most of the com-ments were directed in favor of revision of the original document.

Prof. Kathleen Verduin voiced concern that an a la rming tendency at Hope is to act in a not entirely Christian manner toward non-Christians. She sees this Christian " a r r o g a n c e " leading to a c l o s e d - m i n d e d n e s s and i g n o r a n c e , especially in the students. There is a danger of corruption, she added, when job security, especially tenure, is tied to religious activity and affiliation.

Prof. Nancy Taylor mentioned that in the present and future, as in the past, knowledge of the administrat ion 's use of religious cr i ter ia could lead to involun-tary discrimination at the depar tmenta l level. This creates personal d i lemmas for those who cannot rationalize discrimina-tion. In addition, it seems that the im-balance between religious and academic criteria had generated ill will between the administration and faculty when the ap-parent best candidate, in the faculty point of view, is discarded by the administra-tion. Prof. Jack Ridl, from the point of view of the artist, noted that art ist ic creativity and challenge cannot grow and exist when restricted by Christianity and its sense of boundaries; freedom of thought, investigation, and existence are essential.

Most of the comments directed against •the resolution were not a t tacks on the resolution as such, but expressions of questions of its intent and possible ef-fects. Many see Hope as possibly going the way of many colleges which were founded with a Christian intent but which have subsequently become almost one hundred percent secular. Prof. Irwin Brink saw nothing wrong with the docu-ment as it s tands, for it s tates that though the ideal candidate should be strong in all areas , this ideal person does not a lways exist; dependent on the position, a can-didate that is weak in any one area , being

it scholarship, teaching, or Christianity, may very well be accepted.

Prof. Peter Schakel, who during the week sent a let ter to the faculty question-ing the soundness of the rationale of the resolution, s tated that in light of the clarification of the intent of the PIC resolution, he would vote in favor of it. The resolution, though not explicitly stated, p resumes that the major i ty of the faculty at the College will have a Chris-tian commitment . This was previously unclear to many. Another point which seemed to be clarified was the fact that the ma jo r objective of the PIC resolution was to obtain an explicit s ta tement of the nature of the religious cri teria to ensure that exclusivity would not be practiced.

The result of the vote will be acted upon by the ad hoc commit tee this week. VOLUME 96-ISSUE 4 HOPE COLLEGE OCTOBER 6,1983

Do they sex role stereotype? by Kim Japlnga A week ago Tuesday, the Women's

Issues Organization kicked off the year by tackling the question of sexual stereotyping in its presentat ion: "Hope Traditions-Are They Sex Role Stereotyp-ing?" Professor Don Luidens of the Sociology depar tment led the session with a presentation of his views on the Pull and Nykerk. Jenny Hei tman mediated the en-suing questions from the audience.

Luidens opened the session with a bang by making the observation that the Pull and Nykerk had reduced women into prissy and voluptuous beings and had

Judicial board selected

This past week Student Congress of-ficers selected seven individuals from the 18 applicants to serve on this yea r ' s Judicial Board. They are Mary Lokers, Daniel Broughton, William Kordenbrock, Pat Cecil, Elizabeth MacGregor, Joseph Lyons, and Bryan Bush.

These s tudents will serve with one or two faculty m e m b e r s and the Assistant Dean of Students. The Board will deal with student behavior problems, welding the power to dispense disciplinary action.

turned men into sweaty and militaristic individuals. From there, he went on to outline his objections to Nykerk and the Pull. Nykerk came under fire on three counts: Dcontext, 2)content, 3) competi-tion. The context, according to Luidens, is designed to make women into girls. By re-quiring women to all dress in blue sweaters and skirts, black shoes, and whtye gloves and turtlenecks, Luidens maintains that women are reduced into lookmg like girls. Stature also plays a part In this role. Requiring women to sit in pr6file and to wear white gloves in order to emphasize any twitch has little to do with a woman's intelligence, ra ther it seems to be a vehicle for putting women on display. Dress and stature, then, a re seen as a return from adulthood to childhood.

With perhaps the exception of the ora-tion, the content of Nykerk appears to have a sexist orientation. Luidens points out that the songs are usually the perky, entertaining kind with the themes usually revolving around love instead of the af-firmation of women. The play's themes fared no better: they were seen as having men in place of women as the ul t imate focal point. In the end, Luidens appears to conclude that women are subservient in relation to content.

The final point in the Nykerk controver-sy is competition. According to Luidens, this aspect of Nykerk was formed by a group of men who incorporated a com-petitive element into the underlying theme of friendship. By working on the bas ic p r e m i s e tha t women a r e n ' t necessarily competit ive (while men a re ) , Luidens argues that women shouldn't be forced to play a man ' s game.

The Pull also came under at tack for its sexist nature. It is viewed as a reduc-tionist device for men by converting them into "sweaty hulks" without intelligence. Militarism also plays a role by the usage of the pit, an idea borrowed from the marines on the beaches of Normandy dur-ing World War II.

Finally, the morale girl 's importance is seen as subsidary to the males . The energies put forth by the morale girls a r e mainly directed for the male pullers, ra ther than being directed toward the women. Luidens also asserted that "sex-appea l" made intelligence secondary when choosing mora le girls.

Discussion and questions, for the most

Pull/Nykerk part, were balanced. Pullers, morale girls, and Nykerk coaches and par-ticipants responded in a variety of ways to Luidens claims. Pullers and morale girls seemed to think that Luidens had underest imated the team work and equality that the Pull generated. Morale girls felt especially strong that their role is important on its own because morale girls train with the men and are also responsible for relaying the signals f rom the coach to the pullers. The Nykerk coaches seemed to feel that Luidens neglected to t ake into consideration fac-tors such as the acoustics of the Civic Center, subject suitability of a play for a brdlpd cross range of people, and the enter ta inment quality of a song when choosing mater ia l for Nykerk.

Whiie both sides of the question were explored, no overall conclusions were drawn. It was decided that such a con-troversial subject needed more t ime and discussion before any satisfactory conclu-sion could be reached.

Stop us Father, from arguing about sex

by John Gardner Ever since Steven Pope's much discussed letter, "Forgive us

Father for we've had sex", (will he really rot in hell?) there have been reams of everyone's favorite scriptures flying about the campus loaded with 'righteous' indignation. It would serve everyone, especially Steven and quite a few owner's of recently-worn Bibles, to look at what his actual complaint was. He did not so much attack the policy as he attacked, and rightly so, the place-ment and manner in which it was stated. In the first place, what is stated in the handbook is not even a rule. It is the attitude of the administration towards sexual relationships. Its attitude is con-cise, sensible, and far from the condemning tone of responses to Pope's letter. The problem with this 'tidbit', as Pope calls it, is not even its content but its placement. It is in no way stated as a law. Rather, it comes across as an enlightened provisional attitude.

If people believe that sex outside of marriage is wrong, fine, so do many of us. Yet it is never right to seek to condemn those who disagree or to impose restraint upon them. For those who will be rushing to their Bibles after reading this, I request that you try to find one instance in the Gospels where Christ imposed His will upon anyone. If being a Christian is to live the life Christ lived, then who are we to condemn others? That should go for sex, drink-ing, drugs, and anything else controversial.

That section, to disagree with Pope, does display an open-minded outlook. It doesn't say sex is wrong, it says that the ad-ministration does not see it as part of God's plan outside of mar-riage, and it invites students to consider this view. It never tells them to. The problem is its placement: To put it under "the Law" is improper. Morality cannot be legislated. People must choose and take responsibility for their actions, whatever they are.

If there are people who believe that sex outside of marriage is wrong, fine, let them live according to their convictions and be an example. Running around telling people they are wrong is false Christianity--Jesus never did that. So lers shut our mouths and open our hearts to care rather than curse.

Comment

And then there was light.... At long last the light has been allowed to shine! No longer does

the "Black Hole of Hope" swallow up the campus between DeWitt and Nykerk. Better late than never, and congratulations and gratitude are extended to whoever is responsible for getting the floodlights and plaza lights turned on at DeWitt. For the first time this year, students can safely accomplish nocturnal passages up the Nykerk-DeWitt stairs without fear of the Boogie Man jumping out from behind a nearby bench,...No longer does one take one's life in hand while groping home from DeWitt in the dark. And special thanks should be given because the lights were turned on at the same time the Kletz opened. Students who have been using DeWitt at night all year have adapted for survival, but there was great concern that the number of injuries would rise significantly due to the influx of people using the new Kletz. Fears were voiced that some person who had ingested too much Hudsonville Mint Chip would lose his bearing and wander aimlessly until sunup. No one could count on navigating by starlight because Holland even-ings are notoriously overcast. A person could try to get his direc-tion by using the sound of the stereos from Durfee, but with small chance of success. But all these problems have been neatly avoid-ed by the installation of all those lights. Many thanks again for finally eliminating a health hazard, the Black Hole of Hope.

Hope for Liberty by Eric Flom The institution of government has some

necessary expenses. Defense is one of these because the controller of the military or police force is the government because it has the power. Without this force present, another force would move in and establish itself as the government. The proper use of this power is the goal of good government.

When a segment of the population gains control of the government and uses this power to hurt others, this is bad govern-ment. The majority of the people have done this fop some time. The graduated tax structure has favored the less wealthy in theory by taxing the wealthy at a higher rate. By making it a flat rate, not only can loopholes be effectively closed, and fairness instituted, but taxes can be made simpler. Why should a person work-ing 60 hours a week by choice be robbed of the fruits of the extra labor? It is blatant-ly unfair to punish industry and hard work.

The same thing has been done with the redistribution of wealth. After a man has

worked hard, payed taxes on his money and saved It, he should be allowed to do with it as he pleases. But when he dies, it is taxed before he can give the fruits of his life's labors to his loved ones, or to chari-ty. This double taxation is among the most unfair of all, especially to a surviv-ing spouse.

The last and most objectionable thing is the idea that someone else is entitled to my money, without compensation or ser-vices for me. Let it be a decision of the in-dividual as to how charitable he will be. There are other institutions besides government for the care of the poor; there is the Church, the Salvation Army, Goodwill, and numerous others. If people care about the well-being of others, then the government does not need to take care of them. If they don't, they are being robbed by the poor through the govern-ment. If we the people have to care for the underpriviledged, then perhaps we will care about them more instead of being apathetic and consigning our responsibili-ty to government. Let 's make govern-ment small, controlled, and good.

Let's keep the good name by Vera Wendt "A good name is ra ther to be chosen

than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold." (Prov. 22:1)

One of the special qualities of Hope Col-lege is the unique flavor of its living quarters. Whether it 's Voorhees, Phelps, Durfee, or Van Vleck, these names are associated with the type of environment and upkeep of the hall they represent. Take, for example, Voorhees' quieter at-mosphere, Dykstra 's squirrely clusters, or a Fra t House's lifestyle and one can get the picture.

The following people lended their names to some of the dorms:

Mrs. Winifred H. Durfee-Long time Dean of Women. She also served as a French Professor.

Rev. A. Dykstra-Appointed Director of Development for Hppe two years a f te r WWII. He passed away in 1966.

Mrs. Christine Van Raal te Gilmore--First Dean of Women. She was also the daughter of Rev. Albertus Van Raalte, the founder of Hope College.

Rev. Phillip Phe lps-Fi rs t President of Hope. He elevated the Holland Academy into an institution on the college level.

Gerrit John Kollen-Long time Presi-dent of Hope College. He was a key factor in making Hope a force in the cultural life in Holland and as a religious institution in the Mid-West.

Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Voorhees-Donated Voorhees to Hope, as well as gave to several institutions at home and abroad.

Rev. John Van Vleck- ' ' Fa the r " of the Holland Academy. He principaled the pioneer school until 1859.

The background of the names of the Fra t houses are as follows:

Arcadian-Chosen by the Chi Phi Sigma f ra te rn i ty because of the region 's historical significance in ancient Greece.

Cosmopoliton-Taken f rom the belief of the Phi Kappa Alpha fraterni ty that a strong inner circle will permeate other spheres with the ideas and ideals of friendship, truth, and progress.

Emersonian-Named by the Phi Tau Nu frat, which chose Ralph Waldo Emerson as its patron saint.

F ra te rna l -An offshoot of the word " f ra te rn i ty ." The " F r a t t e r s " (Omicron Kappa Epsiolon) hold claim to being the longest surviving men's college society in America.

Here at Hope, there are as many in-teresting "homes away from home " a s there are the people they were named after and their other distinctive labels. It is the student body's responsibility to uphold its dorm's charac ter by taking pride in it and refraining f rom activities that would be detrimental to the dorms and their good (? ?) names.

Why off campus study? byPatCecU Hope College professors urge you to

participate in an off-campus semester to stimulate your thinking process. The ad-ministration thinks the programs a r e a good way to spread the name of Hope Col-lege throughout the ma jo r cities in the na-tion. And your parents want you to know what it 's like to work forty hours a week...oh, those necessary job skills.

But really, why go? Who would want to leave this liberal a r t s campus where everyone looks the same, acts the same, thinks the same? What would it be like to live in a city without a church or every corner and to meet people whose niddle names weren't Vander?

In addition to providing on-hands ex-perience in a student 's field of study, the Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington semesters teach one a new way of life: that of the intimidating real world.

While moving into a one bedroom apartment in the ghetto of Washington, D C., several clues signify that this is not a Christian neighborhood where people honor the growth of tulips. The apar tment complex is surrounded by an electronic fence, each door has seventeen locks on it, the fifth floor windows are barred and the balcony has bullet holes across it. But hey, no guts, no glory.

After spending a few days in the city, the student intern stares dismally into the closet. Monogram sweaters, docksiders, and pink oxford shirts just don't seem as vogue in the fast lane. No one in the Capitol Building takes you seriously when you are dressed like the high school tourists.

Another seemingly trivial adjustment to the real world is the mode of transpor-tation. Oh, where are those cool, 1950 type bicycles of Hope College? Instead the in-tern learns how to get a good daily work out from the subway system. The profes-sionals wear their track shoes to work

and race down the escalator to the sub-way terminal; these s tars then pace back and forth by the t racks to complete the exercise. There is absolutely no need to diet with this off-campus study.

After living in a city that is opposed to part ies and limited in nice res taurants and cultural events, Washington seems like the space age. A student may slam

dance at a local punk rock bar, jam with the drums at an Ethiopian restaurant , or enjoy the free concerts at the National Gallery of Art.

A l t h o u g h t h o s e p r o f e s s o r s , ad-ministrators, and parents- have good reason for urging you to take an off cam-pus semester, there is more to it than that. Off campus study opens you to both

personal and cultural challenges. If you are interested in further informa-

have an interest in Metaphysics, one of the most abstract areas of Philosophy? Dr. Katherine Minister, a new philosophy professor, is a one of a kind. Dr. Minister Joined the department after graduating from Notre Dame just this year. Her philosophical interests include not only Metaphysics but the recent history of philosophy--the last 150 yea r s - a s well.

Although Hope and Notre Dame differ-size, location, religious affi l iat ion-Minister feels the students are much the same. "Hope students are very capable, interested," she notes. Holland is also dif-ferent from her hometown of Omaha, Nebraska (she received her BA from Omaha 's Creighton University), but it is certainly a nice change. " I 've never lived in a city with such a strong ethnic background."

by Derik Valardi Although the scope of our liberal arts

education is very broad, sometimes its depth is the over shadowing quality. The )iology department is ranked eighth out Df over two hundred schools that prepare students for graduate studies. With the

staff at hand that is not a surprising figure. Profs. J im Gentile and Harvey Blankenspoor are only two of the educator-scientists in the department.-

Gentile at present is conducting research in the area of carcinogens pro-duced by the metabolic activities of plants. Gentile has received a four year grant of over $500,000 which is in con-

' tinuation of a previous grant from the en-vironmental protection agency.' The renown of Gentile is international, stem-ming from his presentations a t the Inter-national Conference on Environmental Mutagens in Tokyo and involvement in a NATO advanced research institute in Morocco.

Because Gentile is on leave this year to pursue his studies, Blankenspoor has returned for the semester af ter many months spent in Sudan, Afr ica . . Dr. Blankenspoor is a leading authority on Shistosmrasis. His studies have helped to reveal the life-cycle of a genus of Shistoscme. These parasi tes infect up to t h r e e mi l l ion peop l e w o r l d - w i d e . Blankenspoor at this t ime is working with Anshistosoma Hematobium and he also has a drug for this disease that has not yet been approved for general use.

Both of these gentlemen. Gentile and - Blankenspoor, are among the leading ex-

perts in their work.

"This isthe hian" Jesus and History

Without absolute foundation in a series of historical events, our faith loses it 's resource for truth.

Again we begin with a bold and somewhat controversial claim.

How often have you been told that Christianity is a mat ter of " fa i th"? If you were in a provocative mood, you might have responded by saying, "Fai th in what?" It is the purpose of this short arti-cle to help each of us deal with that ques-tion.

It is my contention that Christianity is dependent upon events that happened in history, and upon the certainty that they did, in fact, happen. Upon this premise we proclaim that the Christian faith is the recitation of, celebration of, participation in, God's activity in history. It is the glory of our faith that God has revealed himself to us and has acted redemptively in t ime and space.

Very few religions known to man, or history, can claim to be universal and missionary in outlook. It is equally t rue that very few can point to a part icular time and part icular person for their beginning. The majori ty of local or tribal religions, while possessing a belief in a supreme diety, place 'god' far outside of the daily experience of humanity.

It is against this kind of background that we uniquely come and confidently proclaim that God became a man. We do not base our faith on ideas, but ra ther

upon events. We do not base our beliefs, teachings, or lifestyles on myth, or fan-tasy, or creative imagination. We take time to celebrate Christmas, Good Fri-day, Easter , and Pentecost because of what actually happened on those days. Regardless of how we would like things to be, Christianity is firmly yoked to history.

This is our p r i m a r y source of believability-that we are so well ground-ed in historical event. Christianity needs history and Christianity is history.

The claim is not at all a new one. The Apostle Paul said in his letter to the Cor-inthian church, "If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futi le." The word futile could appropriately be replaced with either the word worthless or decep-tive. Speculation is still speculation even though it be pious speculation. This ap-plies even to the Christian's faith in Jesus if he were only the product of man ' s religious notions and not a credibly at-tested historical person.

Does truth lie, therefore, in the record-ed story or merely in the experience of the reader or believer? Is Christianity a matter of " f a i t h " only, regardless of event? It Is my contention that God reveals himself In history, recorded for us as fact.

Our faith is primarily news (as in the 6:00 type) and only secondarily is it per-sonal views. Again without historicity our faith loses Its foundation In truth.

WTHS prepares

forFAA This past Saturday a workshop was

held for all potential disk-jockeys plann-ing to work for WTHS. Kicking off the workshop was a presentation from Laurie DeYoung of WLAV FM. She discussed "How to be an On-Air Personali ty." Laurie is a DJ with Tony Gaits weekday mornings and she has her own contem-porary Christian music show on Sunday mornings called Skyline.

Laurie talked about how important it was for disc-jockeys to be themselves on the air and how not to try producing phony or imitative voices. Laurie at-tributed much of her success to listening to recordings of her own show. According to Laurie, this practice helps DJ ' s listen by mistakes they thought were not being made.

Being a Christian, Laurie said she en-joys doing her Skyline show on Sunday mornings as she believes that the quality of Christian contemporary rock music is improving. She hopes that someday there will be an all-Christian rock station in the area.

Also speaking to the group was Les Lanser. Les had been manager of WJBL FM and WJQ AM. Mr. Lanser 's topic of discussion was 'FCC Guidelines and What It Is to Be an FM Station." Les is looking forward to seeing WTHS become an FM station and encouraged everyone there to work hard at the new station in making it as professional as possible.

Mr. Lanser stressed the fact it takes a good three to four years to get all the legalities worked out, the papers signed, and the final license for an FM station. He also pointed out that being a noncommer-cial station. WTHS could really have some creative programming without wor-rying about an advertising budget, and thus attract a variety of listeners. Les Lanser is anticipating good things from WTHS and hopes the station will become successful.

"It is extremely difficult for an artist to leave the safety of a style or approach that is receiving critical ac-claim to venture into yet another success. Bruce has discovered the world of color and the creative response to immediacy.

As a pr intmaker he has already mastered the long and complicated technical pro-cess of etching a metal plate. As a water-colorist, he has now discovered the qualities inherent in a quick and gestural brushstroke. He has learned very quickly to control without stiffling the liquid flow of paint and water. The works in this show are crisp and fresh. The color is alive. The imagery in his watercolors and prints is nostalgic. This one-man exhibition gives us the opportunity to witness Bruce McCombs' creative adventure. ' 1

McCombs was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. He received his B.F.A. degree from the Cleveland Institute of Art in 1966 and his M.F.A. degree from Tulane University in 1968. He joined the Hope faculty in 1969 and is currently associate professor of art with pr imary responsibility for the printmaking pro-gram.

During his professional career, he has distinguished himself with a significant exhibition record including o v e r 100 awards in major national and regional competitive shows. Among the awards are those from the Library of Congress, the National Academy of Design, the Society of American Graphic Arts. Boston P r in tmake r s . the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and the Cleveland Museum of Art. He has par-ticipated in 33 invitational exhibitions, such as "The Seventh British Interna-tional Print Biennale." Bradford Art Galleries and Museums' the "Exhibition of American Master Drawings." Albrecht Museum of Art; and "New Talent in Printmaking," Associated American Ar-tists Gallery, N.Y.C.

His work has been accepted in 233 com-petitive shows from Hawaii to Italy, and the Dakotas to Florida. In addition, he has shown his prints in ten international exhibitions in England, Poland, Italy. Yugoslavia, and Columbia.

Several t imes he has served as artist in-residence and assisted in competitive shows as juror. During this same time, he has had over 20 one-man shows at galleries throughout the country. And. finally, over 76 colleges, universities, museums, and public collections have in-cluded McCombs' work in their perma-nent collections.

An opening reception will be held Fri-day, Oct. 14 at 7:30 PM in the gallery. The public is invited.

The gallery is open Monday through Saturday from 10 AM to 9 PM and on Sun-day from 1 to 9 PM. Admission is free.

Hope defeats Lords by Buck O'Connor The Hope Flying Dutchmen stomped on

the Kenyon Lords 35-21 in Sa turday ' s ac-tion, leaving their record at 3-1. Next Saturday, the Dutch will travel to Albion in an MIAA match-up. Kickoff is at 1 PM.

In first quar ter action, Kenyon had first

Hope volleyball ranks third in MIAA

by Marn i eMar s t e r s Hope Volleyball t raveled to Calvin on

Friday. September 30. The captain, Linda Percy, was back a f te r missing three games due to an injury and the team was ready to win. Though rallies and ag-gressive play marked the per formance of both teams. Hope went down to defeat in three s t raight : 6-15, 15-17, 6-15. "Scores can he decept ive," says Shire, "we played well, but couldn't seem to score ."

Hope is now ranked third in the MIAA with a record of 2-1. Alma heads the rank-ing with 3-0, and Calvin is second at 3-1. Last week Hope defeated Albion at home in a well fought match . Hope lost the opening two 12-15,8-15, but c a m e on to win the final three 15-3,15-13,15-9.

Overall. Hope boasts a record of six wins and four loses af te r defeating DePauw, Denison, Albion, and Wooster at the GLCA Tournament held early in the season. Hope has also beaten Kalamazoo and Albion in MIAA action.

Shire commends the strong JV team. Its record is 2-1. That defeat coming against Calvin on Fr iday . Shire feels that it was the closest game of the season for the JVs, and playing Calvin at Calvin was probably the deciding factor.

Yesterday, Hope played at Alma whose height and experience makes them the team to beat according to Coach Shire. Upcoming on the volleyball schedule is Siena Heights at the Dow Center on Fri-day at 6 PM. On Saturday Hope lays at Adrian at 3 PM.

possession, but could not find a weakness in the Hope defense. Kenyon was forced to punt and the show was in progress. After an amazing three consecutive first downs, Heeres went to the air, and hit Van Heest on a screen pass for an ap-parent touchdown. This score was called back, however, on an obvious penalty, and on the very next play Todd Stewart lost the handle on the ball, Kenyon didn' t .

Kenyon drove the ball down into Hope terri tory, but again It was stopped on a key sack by Blaine Newhouse. The Lords a t tempted a field goal that was just to the left and Hope regained possession.

The Dutch decided to run a few between Sturm and Van Heest, which gave It a first down, but that was all. After three catchable balls were dropped, Hope was forced to punt, and again the defense took the field.

Again, Kenyon had trouble moving the ball, especially with the rush that Hope is using. On third down, Newhouse again delivered the key play, as he nearly in-tercepted a tipped ball.

With just a few more minutes left in the first quarter , the Dutch put it all together. Starting at its own 28-yard line, Heeres s tar ted the aerial show, and what a show it was. After a delay of game penalty, Heeres hit Van Noord for a twenty yard gain and a first down. Four plays later, the duo connected again, to move the ball to the three yard line. To cap off the drive, Heeres connected with Oosterhouse for the score, the PAT was good, and the Dutch led. 7-0.

The Lords came back quickly at the beginning of the second quar ter . After driving 42 yards, they stole the possession with a screen pass that was executed beautifully for a touchdown. The PAT was good, and the game was tied, 7-7, The score remained the same at half t ime, as neither team could organize a drive for the rest of the half.

In the third quar ter , people who c a m e late were in for a t reat . After two con-secutive sacks, the Lords were forced to punt, and again the Dutch went to work. Van Heest ran twice for fourteen yards , then the spotlight shifted to Heeres. On a beautifully executed pass play. Heeres hit Oosterhouse for a 41 yard scoring strike.

The kick was good, and the Dutch led, 14-7.

Again, the Lords had not a place to hide on their next possession, when af ter two r u n n i n g p l a y s , Z e l d e n r u s t a n d Druskovich combined to put the squeeze on Kenyon's quar terback. Kenyon was forced to punt, and the Dutch retained possession at the 45 y a r d line.

After a one yard run by Van Heest, Heeres hit J e rome Vlte on the 18 yard line for the first. Van Heest then took the ball to the 8 yard line f rom which Heeres hit Van Noord for the score. Smith nailed the kick and the Dutch led 21-7.

Kenyon received the kickoff, and this t ime it put a show on for the visitors. Wasting no time, it drove down the field, and capped the dr ive with a one yard run. Its kick was good, and the game was a lit-tle closer, 21-14.

Hope defense held the Lords to only one more score set up by f r e shman Mark McNally who threw an Interception that was returned to the five by Kenyon.

The same was not true for the Kenyon defense, as Heeres kept finding holes in the secondary. Heeres threw for two more scores, hitting both Sturm and Vander Starre. F ina l Score: 35-21.

Hockey team struggles at Kalamazoo by Scott " J o h n " Watson The women's field hockey team slipped

back into its old ways last week and drop-ped to 2-2-1 in the still young MIAA race.

Last Tuesday the Dutch were at Kalamazoo and were able to come away with a win despite sluggish play f rom nearly all the Hope defense.

The only goal of the game came late in the second half of play as Pa t t i Gaffney found the cage off of a rebound just to the left of the goalie. The goal was the first of the year for the sophomore from Union Springs, N.Y., who is the sister of senior Captain, Mary Gaffney.

Saturday the Dutch took on the third place Alma Scot 's at J . Ektal Buys Athletic Fields. The game was close throughout, but the Dutch came away on the short end of a 3-2 score. Again, the Gaffney sisters proved to be instrumental as both Mary and Pat t i tallied for Hope.

The Dutch thought it had a third goal when Annette Van Engen walked in and put the ball in the cage. That apparen t goal was called back several seconds later as the Dutch was on its way back to the mid-field stripe to continue play. When Van Engen asked Snyder about the call, she said, "I t was just a judgement cal l ."

Several Hope p layers have made their way in to the league leading statist ics. Annette Van Engen and Pat t i Faggney are tied for sixth in goals while Captain Gaffney Is tied for fourth. Junior Melanie Waite of Ann Arbor s tands atop the league in assists with several tied just behind her. In the total points of the league, both Faggneys . Van Engen, and Waite all a re in the top ten.

The Dutch continue league play tomor-row at the J . Ekta l Buys Athletic Field with a game against Adrian at 4 PM with the JV game to follow.

wonder what happens to all the p layers who hobble or are carr ied off the field at our games? There is no hired or ' rented ' staff that temporari ly does this sort of ca re at each game. Hope has a very effi-cient and highly motivated team of t ra iners and an advanced, up-to-date training room to match.

The whole operation is under the guidance and care of Rich Ray who is also the head Resident of Gilmore. Rich got s tar ted as a sophomore in high school at the coach's suggestion. He liked it and has stuck with it ever since. It is knowledge not easily come by. He was a t ra iner in college, interned for four yea r s at the University of Michigan and became certified a f te r graduation. He then con-

positive motivation to overcome and work through the in jury. As Rich said to a couple athletes even during my conversa-tion with him, " T h e r e a re no quick solu-tions or d rugs , " it is a gradual process which depends as much on the a thle te ' s will to heal as on the theraputic methods employed in t rea tment .

He sees each athlete as going through three s tages with an in jury: first anger or why me? , then depression f rom not feel-ing par t of the t eam, and finally a resignation to the situation. Rich seeks to turn all these moods towards an outlook of " the harder I work, the quicker I can get back ." In keeping with this the hours of the training room have been careful ly set up to meet even the tightest schedule-

which means long hours for he and his s taff .

The student t ra iners a re there as part of the 1800 hours they have to put in before taking their certification exam. Rich sees two coexisting objectives for t hem: one being that of serving the teams, and the other that of learning. At present he has a very new staff that works well as a team and are learning steadily. It involves a lot of work for everyone. Ei ther Rich or so-meone from his staff at tends every athletic engagement on the schedule. That is an awful lot to cover. Three hun-dred lbs. of equipment a r e needed for just one football g a m e - f o r the t ra iner ' s work only. Phil Toppen is also working with Rich. Phil has a great knack with distrac-ting conversation when one's whole leg is immersed in near-freezing water for twenty-five minutes.

With such a pace and the respon-sibilities of head resident things do get hectic. His sustenance comes from, as he put it, a supportive family. This family in-cludes his wife, Carol, and two-year old son, Richifc.

Rich Ray loves it at Hope and intends to be here on a long-term basis. He likes the Hope College at t i tude towards athletics. Athletics a re seen as an extension of the education process where students have access to meaningful competition in an academic environment of quality and ex-cellence. . /•

In par t icular during the interview it was stressed how much excellent support the training p rogram has had f rom both the depar tment and the administrat ion. The growth has been phenomenal .

Throughout this whole interview there was a steady s t r eam of various athletes coming in, confidently seeking and receiving t r ea tment for a variety of wounds. Most of the interview took place while Rich was t rea t ing a sprained ankle with ultrasound. Rich fits a lot into his days, and each t ime our athletes take to the field, and return to it, thanks has to go to he and his staff.

Cross country tests

regional foes by Steve Underwood The men ' s and women's cross country

teams will t ravel to Angola, Indiana this Saturday for the Tri-State Invitational, and an opportunity to face most of the top t eams in their region.

Several MIAA teams, as well as schools from Indiana and Ohio, will make up a strong field in both races. It will be the on-ly chance Hope will get to race some of these teams before the regional.

Both squads faced Calvin at home two days ago (with results not available at press t ime).

In a race that was not reported in the last anchor, the women's CC team opened its MIAA season by trouncing Albion on Saturday, September 24. The score, a 15-50 " s l a m " , w a s actually a result of the fact that the Britons didn't finish a full t eam. Had their fifth runner finished, in-stead of dropping out, the Dutch still would've conquered, 20-42.

Albion's unbeaten Sarah Hall took the race in 18:23, but the Orange and Blue grabbed the next six spots. Deb Heyden-burg was the first Dutchwoman, taking second in 19:08.

Gayle Bond and Wendy (Welanore) Schoenmaker continued their consistant 20:20-20:30 clockings; the former not-ching third in 20:19, the la t te r fourth in 20:24. Karen Gingras continued to lower her time, running a 20:34 for fifth.

Sue DeSanctis had a personal best: 20:45 for sixth. Showing the biggest im-provement f rom the previous two races this season was J a n e Northuis. She hack-ed 47 seconds off for a seventh place 20:47.

Shelly Hegedus (ninth-23:06) and Gwen Griffen (12th-23:42) also ran their fastest t imes of the year .

The results r a the r obviously indicated that the Britons don't appear to have the depth to be a contender this season, as they did in 1982. But the Dutch know it will still have two other difficult MIAA foes to strive to overcome.

Alma has a l ready proven that even without last y e a r ' s league MVP. Lisa Thocher, it is an extremely deep and fast troup. That fact was established when it dominated the field in the Hope Invite.

Calvin also was expected to give the Dutchwomen a very tough r a c e last Tues-day. But if the Dutch can continue to im-prove, and also overcome still-present in-jury problems, the MIAA title and a na-tional NCAA berth is in its reach.

In the incarnation God became a man. In so doing He trusted His saving plan for man to the historical process and thus revealed Himself in world history by co-existing with us in flesh and blood. Don Hagner, a New Testament scholar, com-ments, "The fact that God has manifest himself in t ime and space consti tutes the center of the Church 's faith. This sacred history has become the glory of Chris-tianity. Our s take in the historical veraci-ty of these writings could not be g rea t e r .
