The f i r s t a n n u a l Knight Fellowship Conference on Faith and Learning featured keynote speaker I)r SLanely Hauerwas, professor of theology and law at Duke University, and six presen lations by Hope College Knight Fellows

Held Oct K over fall break at the Mangold Lodge on Lake Macatawa. the conference, fund ed t h r o u g h a t h r e e - y e a r challenge grant from the Knight foundation, brought administra lion, facultv and a few students

together for a discussion ot "lit-role of Christianity in education

Hauerwas' speech, entitled "Telling the Old, Old S tory

Christian Education in a Liberal Society", examined the role of Chris t iani ty in the age of enlightenment education, which has as its goal, objectivity or pluralism. Hauerwas called this a "capitalist notion" to "create tasteful consumers . Any idea that one can be neutral is an illu-sion

He challenged the idea that by teaching objectivity one was presenting "options" from which the students were free to choose.

"Today s education is not ohjec live, said Hauerwas. It has been shaped by the Enlightment idea itself and ideology, according to Hauerwas

As a part of this Enlightenment view, educators have come to view religion as part of the private sphere, "Most modern thought eliminates purpose," s a i d H a u e r w a s " M o d e r n theology says 'just confirm, no one can be damned. You just have to find it. '"

The attempts of Christians to e n t e r e d u c a t i o n f r o m the p e r s p e c t i v e of o b j e c t i v i t y reflects a ! .. feei

foolish The e, es of Christians have become the eyes of the world " Christians must not fall prey to this, according to Hauer was. "The only way we educate is through witness If the Gospels were a truth that could be known in general, there would be no need for witness " But "you don't know "Christianity) until one person tells another It is not a case of A recognizing that they a re a s inner .. They must be shown through the church

As witnesses. Christians "can-not avoid cnmirig into conflict i

there is one law lor themselves and another for the rest of socie-ty," said Haeurwas "Christians must never cease to remind the government that it is subject to Christ (Christians) cannot ac-cept ultimate pluralism as cor reel even if acknowledging plurality as fact "

According to Hauerwas, in a setting such a Hope, "academic freedom" often becomes a "for mula for cowardice." Christians must come into conflict, but "procedural liberal rules pre-

Foundation departments

by Kris Olenik assitant news editor

Hope College has applied for a grant from the Olin Foundation for a building to house the departments of English and M o d e r n a n d C l a s s i c a l L a n g u a g e ^

The Olin Foundation is a private firm from New York and Minneapolis and its sole purpose is to fund buildings for institu-tions of higher learning. Olin completely takes care of costs in-cluding architects, construction, equ ipment , furniture , and grounds. However, of the huii-dreds of proposals they receive, Olin only accepts and funds two or three buildings per year. As a result, the level of competition is high and Hope would be extreme ly fortunate to receive the grant, according the Dean of Arts and Humanities, Dr. Bobby Fong.

Fong who played a major role in shaping the proposal into final

form said, "We think we have submitted a good proposal, but we don't know how many other schools have also submitted good proposals." With the magnitude of the grant, receiving it would be "a tremendous gift for which we would be very grateful" said Fong. Approximated cost of building, should the Olin founda-tion select it would be $4.3 million.

Work on the proposal began about a year-and-a-half ago. Im-portant contacts and work on the business end were handled by President Jacobsen and Robert DeYoung. The proposal itself received extensive input from the two department heads, Dr. Judy Motiff and Dr. William Reynolds.

Reynolds gave most of the credit to Motiff for working out the specifics and writing for the proposal. The need for the building, its purpose and the specifics had to be worked out

mayconstruct new building precisely ans succinctly since Olin only accepts proposals that are five pages or less.

The need for the facility is great for both the English and language departments. Short term advantages would be a greater amount of space availi-ble, for offices especially. Lub-bers, where the English depart-ment is currently housed, and Graves, which holds Modem and Classical Languages, are getting cramped. Some English pro-fessors are having to double up in office space. Also the new facilities would be modern and built to suit present educational standards.

Motiff said, "The facilities here are relatively outdated. We do have a state of the art (language) lab, but it's not large enough."

The types of c lassrooms specified in the proposal would accomodate a larger number of students and ma'* it easier to

use television, videos, slides, and computers in the classroom. This is important for both depart ments.

The Engl ish Department would be able teach composition classes in a computer classroom. Many other colleges and univer-

sities, including Calvin, are mak-ing use of computer-assited classes already. Hope needs to keep up with these educational advances. Also, with the addi-tional space and facilities the English Department has been working on an idea that would of-fer an intensive program in English and-or an enrichment program for overseas students during the summer. Reynolds also stated, "The building would serve not just the needs of the English and Language Depart-ments, but would serve larger campus needs as well." By pro-viding more new classrooms and freeing up space in Lubbers and Graves, other departments

would also benefit. According to Motiff, in ordt r

teach communicative skills m a second languague, "it is impor-tant to have access to ap-propriate materials"; such as videos, a lab large enough to hold a class, and even satellite con. munication.

This project is especially im portant to Motiff and the futurv of Modern and C l a s s i c a l Languages at Hope. Motiff said.

"We are feeling a greater need to place emphas i s on second languages." This is just one move in the nationwide surge toward educating the AMerican

people in a second language. The U.S. is the only industrialized na tion that doesn't require educa tion in a second language from elemetary school onward. But it is beginning to change as laws are being passed and approprai tions made to fund language education at earlier ages.

A certain number of college students either change colleges or withdraw completely each year. When a student withdraws from Hope College they are risk-ed to fill out a form citing reasons for leaving. These reasons and figures are then compiled into the Annual Attrition Report by the Registrar's Office.

The Report also indicates the n u m b e r of s t u d e n t s vino withdraw but intend to return to Hope at some point. Over the years this figure tends to remain between 20 and 30 students.

Various personal reasons for leaving are taken into account when students fill out the withdrawl form. One of the most popular personal reasons for leaving Hope for another institu

One of the most popular personal reasons for leaving Hope for another institution is preference for a larger school.

The Attrition Report breaks the nonretuming students down by class, sex and whether or not the student was part time or full time.

The 1988-89 Attrition Report says, "The most frequently cited reason for leaving Hope College was to transfer to another institu-tion for a particular program. Financial concerns rose substan-tially (financial reasons added together were up 43 percent over last year) and were given as the second most frequent reason for leaving Hope College."

Of the 289 students who left Hope last year 146 said they in-tended to transfer to another school. Michigan State Universi-ty and the University of Michigan were most frequently listed schools. In looking at the Attrition Reports of the last several years this seems to be the general trend.

tion is preference for a larger school. Very few students cite poor grades as a reason for leav-ing and the majority are in good academic standing.

Each semester the Registrar s . Office also compiles the Enroll-

ment Report. The Report counts all full time and part time students by sex and class. The total number of credit hours students are taking is given. For example, this fall 39,950 credit hours are being taken.

The number of students who transfer into Hope each semester is included in this report. It is divided by sex and the trend is for there to be more women transfers than men. But this

trend reflects the breakdown of the entire Hope student popula-tion. The current female-male ratio is 1.3 t e l .

Cosmo fraternity honors 100 years of history

(HOPE) - Homcoming ac-tivities at Hope College on had a special significance for the members of the Cosmopolitam Fraternity, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year.

The Cosmopolitian Fraternity, established in 1890, has the distinction of being the oldest fraternity founded on the Hope campus. Although the 156-year-old Fraternal Society came to Hope in 1864, it was established elsewhere-at Union College in Schenectady, N Y.

The Cosmopolitan Society was established as an alternative to the othersocial organizations at Hope in 1890, and during its early years was not a Greek fraternity but a 'literary society,' as were the other such organizations on campus A sense of the society's focus can be found in the 1905 Hope College Annual,' which

states that its aim was 4to fit it^ members especially for public speaking.'

The fraternity's direction had shifted since 1905, and social ac-tivities play a larger role. The current Cosmopolitan constiu-tion instructs that T h e object of Phi Kappa Alpha shall be the development of its members social ly , in te l lec tua l ly , and morally, and to the betterment of society through its actions.'

Arfivii^s rnndurte^i by the fraternity reflect the change. A sampling from the past three decades includes housepainting for local families in 1967, a 'Hot Lips of Hope' kissing booth for the American Cancer Society in 1978 and a fundrcUing dance for victims of cerebral palsy in 1985.

Despite the changes, however, through the years the regard the Cosmos have for their fraternity had remained constant. The memories, friendships and tradi-tions are as valuable to current students as they remain for the organization's alumni.

MI knew a lot of Cosmos (before joining) and 1 saw how they got along and how they treated each other, and it was ob-vious to me that it was a brotherhood-or something more than the regular friendships that 1 had run into," said Eric Emig ("91) currently the fraternity's president. "It 's one of the best things that I've ever done for myself."

"It was a plesant experience and some of the finest men I ever knew I knew in Cosmos," said the Rev. Joshua Hogenboom, a 1925 Hope g r a d u a t e f r o m Lakeland, Fl., "To this day there are fellows that I still keep in touch with after all these years ."

.. They did it to AT&T. So why can't they do it to those who real-ly deserve it That 's right, it's time to break up the San Fran-cisco 49ers and the Oakland A's. Each year that these two teams win, they get richer and richer. That means free agency is just a time to buy some more talent

.. Robert B. Parker - "You can't be honorable when it's easy Only when it's hard " Pro-mised Land

.. The new Kletz seems to be taking a lot of undeserved abuse from people jumping on the bandwagon to ridicule it. At first glance, it does seem cold with all the grey and blue, but it's more comfortable to sit and talk now If people feel like it's too noisy now. then go to the library or find yourself an open classroom to study in. It looks to me like there are more people using it now And those chairs really aren't as uncomfortable as they look.

...Two years ago a close friend told me that he didn't believe he could have friends that lived far away. Proximity doesn't make a deep friendship. It's the will-ingness and desire to be a part of someone else's life. From my ten

More News Hope aims for multi-cultural expansion in the next decade by Jill Sandor staff writer

President Jacobson announced his aim to expand the minority and international population of Hope students to about 10 percent by the mid-nineties This goal is part of a broader effort under-taken in recent years to create a more culturally diverse environ-ment at Hope

At present there a r e 192 minority students at Hope This i n c l u d e s 85 i n t e r n a t i o n a l students and about 30 African American students. Ten percent would require about 280 minority students

Jacobson believes it is ex-ceedingly impor tan t that t o d a y ' s s tuden t s l ea rn skills in cross-cu l tura l communica t ion . The 21st cen tu ry is bound to be f a r m o r e of a mul t icu l tura l com-muni ty due to improved in te rna-tional c o m m u n i c a t i o n and grow-ing cul tura l d ivers i tv within the U S

In order to m a k e Hope a m o r e mul t i cu l tu ra l school, in Jacob-son ' s plan, the Admissions Off ice mus t s t r ive to present the s t rong l iberal a r t s p r o g r a m that Hope has to of fer , in which s tuden t s h a v e the oppor tun i ty to en-counter s tuden t s and staff of all cu l tu ra l backgrounds . For inter-nat ional s tudents . Hope o f f e r s not only a c a d e m i c t ra in ing but the chance for cross-cul tura l ex-change and the opor tuni ty to b e c o m e m o r e f luen t in the Engl ish language ,

J a c o b s o n f e e l s t h a t t h e a c a d e m i c a n d social life of Hope will be g rea t ly enr iched by a m o r e d iverse ethnic populat ion. Also, g r e a t e r knowledge a n d ap-precia t ion of other cu l tures is an impor tan t s tep toward r a c i a l h a r m o n y

Alfredo Gonzales, the ass i s t an t

provost, believes that one of the main purposes of cultural diver-sity on Hope's campus is to prepare students to become bet-ter world citizens and more ef-fective contributors to society. Understanding other cultures will make us more able to respect one another s values and live at peace with each other, he said.

In a society of racial discord w h e r e f e a r and i g n o r a n c e separate us from one another. Gonzales hopes to "dispel fears, break down walls."

Intercultural understanding, as viewed by Gonzales, is a two-way effort in which everyone contributes and everyone wins. In a community with great ethnic diversity, both majori ty and minority students have the op-portunity to learn about other cul tures and become better equipped in cross-cultural com-munication skills that will be valuable in the future

Gonzales sugges t s several ways in which Hope can attempt to increase its minority popula-tion First, the admissions office should make a special effort to find and recruit minority and in-ternational students Second, the Student Development Office should make students and staff more aware of multicultural issues by implementing pro-grams and discussion groups for such purposes Third, the college curriculum must reflect concern for multicultural issues through study of a greater variety of r a c i a l and e t h n i c g r o u p s , teaching of international issues, hiring more minority faculty, etc

Gonzales, who c o m e s f rom a migran t background , w a s born in Texas and ra i sed in Mexico He was a s tudent at Hope and has n o w r e t u r n e d a s a n a d -

ministrator with a keen interest in multicultural issues.

Nisa Brunson. a black Hope student, feels the atmosphere at Hope is "totally different" from that of schools with a more r e p r e s e n t a t i v e n u m b e r of minorities. The small number of minorities makes it difficult for blacks to feel accepted by the white community, she says

Brunson. who transfered from a predominantly black college in Alabama, says she would not have come to Hope if she had had a chance to experience it first.

Brunson feels that Hope needs more programs and organiza-tions for blacks to get to know one another and to help them fit into campus life. She feels that the lack of such programs as well a s t h e s m a l l n u m b e r of minorities offer little incentive for black students to come to Hope.

The formation of the group ACERT is one attempt by the administration to give racial and ethnic minority groups a chance to speak out and share their culture. ACERT. formed just this year, was created to pro-mote intercultural understan-ding through recreational ac-tivities

Carol Juth. one of the faculty advisors of Activate Cultural. Ethnic and Racial Togetherness i ACERT i. is anxious to see the group active on campus She believes the group has the poten-tial to break down stereotypes and prejudices through the ex-ploration of different cultures in a relaxed social setting

German reunification completes year-long process by Rychard Bouwens staff writer

The German Democrat i c Republ ic , more c o m m o n l y known as East Germany, united with the Federal Republic of Germany, West Germany, on Oc-tober 3 after a year of precipitate change and hasty compromise.

The East German parliament dissolved itself on October 2 and the representatives of four World War II allies met in Berlin for the official cessation of their Allied ties of World War II. The Ger-mans have selected Berlin as their provisional capital and the new written constitution fills 243 pages, meticulously encompass-ing even the details of daily liv-ing.

The reunification of both Ger-manys ended a 45 year split bet-ween them. A year ago, on Oc-tober 18, East Germany under-went a "bloodless" revolution. Last November, the Berlin wall opened, and on July 1, the Ger-manys formed an economic union, consolidating the East Germany Mark with the West German Mark. Finally, on September 12, the four World War II Allies agreed to relinquish their ties and allow Germany to reunite

The newly formed government took on ^ representatives from

East G e r m a n y . Po l i t i ca l analysts believe;, the influx of East German representatives schooled in heavy bureaucracy and anti-NATO propaganda will tilt the new Germany farther left.

A great deal of enthusiasm sur-rounds the reunification. People applaud the new opportunities for East Germans to experience f r e e d o m a n d e x p l o r e an economic livelihood that a socialistic economy never of-fered. Inevitably, there are those who scorn the reunifica-tion. Dis l ik ing cap i ta l i s t materialism, they would prefer working out of a love for humani-ty.

Claudia Kucza, who is an ex-change student at Hope College from Mainz, West Germany, says, 4 i don't think it's perfect at all. What I don't like about it is that the politicians say they can afford it and that there is no pro-blem at all."

The reconstruction of the East German country will cost, as many analysts believe, around $500 billion. The country will need new roads, communication networks, and a salvaging of an industry-polluted environment. The new country will need to ex-pend at least $60 billion a year to fund this renovation, spending around 4 percent of its GNP;

overnight, tne standard of living will fall Many Germans, however, are willing to make such a sacrifice, and label those who complain about the draining eronomic effects as "selfish."

At first, the task of finding employment will afflict many E a s t G e r m a n s . E x p e r t s estimate that some four million E a s t G e r m a n s w i l l f i n d themselves unemployed.

In addition, Germans will need to conquer the problem of a growing class distinction arising between the two groups of Ger-mans. While many West Ger-mans have basked in a relative affluence, their brothers in the East have enjoyed few of the same luxuries. Westerners who had originally lauded the opening of the Berlin Wall have already cursed the slow East German cars, clogging the Autobahn. Dr. Selig, a history professor at Hope, says the problem will be short-lived however: "In five years, there will be a general leveling of the standard of liv-ing."

As for those who fear Ger-many's becoming a military threat, Helmut Kohl, Germany's chancellor, has said he will cut the merged armed forces form the present 590,000 to 370,000 to reduce the anxieties. In addition, Kohl plans to help Poland with its

economy, partially to thwart the reward Hungary for opening its emigration of Polish refugees, borders to the East Germans Kohl has also promised to fleeing west

Editorial Spirit, participation excite campus during Homecoming weekend Homecoming 1990 was an excellent example of a successful

festival weekend. The Student Activities Committee (SAC), the greek organizations and the Hope sports teams deserve a large round of applause.

The weekend got off to a good start with the dedication luncheon for the new DeWitt Center for Economics and Business and the remodeling of Van Zoeren and Vanderwerf Halls. Over 375 alumni, Board of Trustee members and students filled the Maas Center for a delicious meal.

The DeWitt family was honored for their Christian giving to Hope College for the DeWitt Center of Student Activities and now for the DeWitt Center for Economics and Business located in Van Zoeren.

A sour note was heard, however, as the well-meaning luncheon planners had the pep band lead the procession of guests across cam-pus to the front of Van Zoeren. The band disturbed a lot of classes in Lubbers and Graves Halls.

Saturday, the weather cooperated for the Homecoming Parade. The strong turnout of greek floats was great. The SIBs deserve special applause for their first-place float. The parade was longer than it has been in most years and to see alumni in the parade was great.

The football game was packed with fans. Although the team lost, the anchor appreciates their hard work and winning record. It's good to have a winning team to back once again.

The cheerleaders at the football game deserve a cheer themselves for leading a responsive, finally, crowd in some cheers. The dead Hope crowd has always been a complaint at the football games. But last weekend people were seen to cheer, and even occasionally stand up.

Having most of the other sports here for Homecoming was fun, too, but turnout there had to be down which is too bad.

The Homecoming Dance Saturday night with Jady Kurrent was packed with students and a good event. SAC did a good job with food, picking the band and making things go smoothly.

So often, members of the Hope community are stretched in a hun-dred different ways It was nice to see large numbers of people working toward making Homecoming a success and it was great to have so many participants. The anchor hopes this tradition con-tinues.

Letters to the Editor

Survivors not the only ones who need to be aware of rape I ear Editors:

Cheers to Mr. Anderle's letter. Jeers to the other retorts. 1 agree that the horse is al ivtand kicking-but who it's kicking iin't dead and they are hurting. Women are once again struck down in the name of sexism.

I think it's also time for a new focus. Perhaps it's one that some will again claim isn't alive-unfortunately those blind people are again wrong. Survivors of sexual assault are very much living-even here at Hope Col-lege. A support group of ever-growing number meets each Monday at 4 p.m. at the Counseling Center on Hope's campus.

Rape is not a pretty word, nor is it one many choose to acknowledge. Rape is 14the logical consequence of the way men and women are taught to treat each other. Boys learn at an early age that aggression and violence prove virility and masculinity while girls learn to play hard to get" (91-2). Take off those blinders and peek around

folks! One out of 4 women will become victims of sexual assault in one form or another by age 25. That puts a lot of women in a hor-rifying position that I personally detest.

As for the many forms this hellish nightmare takes on~ space limitations don't allow even a surface scratch! Date rape, one of the most frequent yet least reported forms-Mshe may fear that people will assume she is guilty in some way; therefore, she will not report the rape. She may also fear retalia-tion from the rapist" (93). ("Nice Girls Don't Get Raped"-Jennifer Botkin-Maher)

Let's do something positive and something progressive. First of all-BE AWARE! Ignorance or denial of its existence does nothing. Active participation does a definite something.

Second, do not cringe from tak-ing a stand. Prochoicers and FCA can do it-so give it a try.

Third, the survivors aren't the only ones who must respond to this challenge. Rape's frigid

fingers grip all the lives of anyone who knows her (the sur-vivor). It points at our guilty violators, pries apart lives, and shreds a women's senses of pride, self-control, and sanity.

Answer me, if someone can: Why is it that something so devastating as rape is left to the people it most touches to deal with-when you know they can't doit alone?

Cabinet fails to see case for sex discrimination

Dear Editors: This letter is in response to

your two ar t ic les and one editorial contained in the Oc-tober 3 issue charging the Stu-dent Congress Cabinet with sex-ual discrimination in appointing Scott Gilmore to congress Ac-cording to your editorial, you feel this charge is substantiated by both logic and statements that we. members of the Cabinet, have made.

We. the Student Congress Cabinet, felt the need to respond to the anchor's charge because it is simply not the case. First, we fail to see the logic at to the fact that the individual we chose is male and the other three can-didates are female necessitates sexual discrimination. Secondly, we stated that the issue of gender was discussed, as were a variety

of other (and more important) issues. It is our right and our du-ty to discus^ any aspect of a candidate that cftuld possibly have an effect on how well that person could fulfill the role of representative. We tried to m a k e ir e x p l i c i t l y c l e a r , howev er, that we appointed Scott Gilmore to the potittoa because we felt he could make the greatest contribution to Student Congress, reoanDen of any one of the candidate't gender. This

Jevi^.on has noihuig to do with some "hidden (sexist) agenda." but rather has everything to do with which candidate we thought vsaa best suited for the position Your allegations are unwar ranted.

We would also like to take this opportunity to reinforce the fact that Student Congress is elected by the students, is compsed of students, and works for the students. As students, we are all on the same side as we all share the ultimate aim of furthering us along as a student body. We need each other. The anchor has acknowledged Student Congree's existence on two occasions this year. Of the four articles you have writtern, three were regar ding these allegations, and all four seem to have been written with the primary intent of giving Student Congress negat ive publicity. We appreciate the an-chor's efforts if your intent is to hold us, as elected officials, ac-countable to the student body. However, that just does not ap-pear to be the case. Why you would want to try to tackle your

quarterback we do not understand.

How large a role the studeiits take in the decision making of the College depends on how well we as students can cooperate. Stu

dent Congress represents the students in the institutional governance system We need to be supported by you as students in order to be effective. If the student body deserves better conduct from anyone, it is from the anchor

me from becoming ill each time I see yet another cheap, shallov., 30-second spot on television from any of them. Allow me to il-lustrate.

Bill Schuette, Republican can-didate for Senate, attempts to connect Democratic incumbent Carl Levin to the savings and

As for State Senate Majority Leader John Engler, he still should not be forgiven for his nauseating theme song, 44Just Think What John Engler Can Do." Fortunately it has disap-peared from his latest commer-cials.

Recently, Blanchard has turn-ed to citing past Engler votes, usually with some relation to ap-propriations for education, en-v i r o n m e n t a l c l e a n - u p or business. However, as one who has become quite cynical of politicians in general, campaigns in particular, I cannot but at least recognize that votes often come with strings attached or were a result of the lesser of two evils.

LAST WRITES

Alter my last article complain-ing about the Holland police I was planning to focus on a positive aspect of Hope College for this week's article. However, in light of what has been happen-ing over the past two weeks it seems I have no choice but to complain once again.

1 have begun to wonder about many of Hope s policies and if they are beneficial of detrimen-tal to a well rounded education. That is, an education that is free lo expand and influence our everyday lives.

The controversy over the A.J. M u s t e s c u l p t u r e is w h a t originated this doubt in Hope's methods of operation. President Jacobson lists three reasons why this sculpture is unacceptable. One of them being that it would be a distraction to students stu-dying in the A.J. Muste alcove.

Now this may be true for some students. Everyone agrees that study area is a key factor in the learning process. But, wait a minute, here's an original idea: if it bothers you, don't sit there! Thanks for trying to protect us, but we are big boys and girls now? Given the chance, most of us are quite able to think on our own.

been, if you can convince us that you are worth checking out

Ttie campaigns are yet just another example of the lack of statesmanship in this country. The recent budget fiasco, the continuing deficit, the ever-swelling savings and loan scan-dal, are all examples of politics dictating policy. Decisions are not made because they are in the best interest of the country, but

Look at any Congressperson's voting record and, chances are, you'll find at least one vote against a weapon."

because they are in the best in-terest of the politician. And therein is the difference between a politician and a statesman

A politician holds his finger to the wind, while a statesperson does what he thinks right-right in the absolute sense, not in the * ^ hat is the 'right' vote to ensure my re-election" sense. This is hut •ne reason why we have the type

of campaigns we have. Another, unfortunately, is:

they work. Due to the lack of in-volvement, the lack of political sophistication of the electorate

as a whole, campaigns em-phasize style over substance (even if the style is to decry style over substance), quick-hitting 10-to 30- second spots, and true-but-less-than-honest attacks.

But before you go saying "yeah, those morons who let themselves be swayed by such tactics that cause such hideous campaigns." What is your source of information in deciding who to vote for this fall? Anything besides the commercials? Have you done any research at the library on their past records? Have you talked to people on both sides (as well as those who may try to convince you that they are completely objective) who ac-tually know the candidates' posi tions0 Are you even registered to vote?

A lack of statesmen isn't our only problem. So, too. is a lack of citizens.

Parietals is one example of a direct barrier between students and independence. This rule is proof that the administration has little trust in the student body. If Hope College is, in fact, a Chris-tian school, I doiibt that there would be anything to question on the conduct of students.

The same applies to the alcohol policy on campus. The decision on whether or not to drink should be made by the student, not the administration. As long as everything is within the law, there should be no objections.

I realize that both of these reglations probably deter a few students from acting in "sinful" ways. But the majority of those who are inclined to drink and spend the night with members of the opposite sex are going to do so anyway.

And those few^ students who have.been saved from harm by these restriction have been

v p r v

valuable. The right to look out for themselves and make their own decisions. This lesson is one that will be learned the hard way in the real world, if students aren't given the chance during their collge years.

A decision that is made for us, adds little value to our self-esteem. However, one that we are able to make on our own, one that we may or may not learn the hard way is one that we can call our own. A decision made in this way lends a valuable contribu-tion to our self confidence and sense of accomplishment.

Any school that teaches the philosophies of Socrates, Aristo-tle, and Plato yet makes un-c o n t e s t a b l e d e c i s i o n s and obstructs students right to make their own decisions is actually teaohing a much different lesson . A lesson that is never spoken but

Cross varsity runs well with top teams by Steve Kaukonen ad manager

Both the women's and men's Cross Country varsity teams placed in the top ten against several nationally ranked teams at the Les Duke Cross Country Invitational at Grinnell College. Iowa

The meet, held on Sept. 22, gave the teams a chance to try out the course which will be used for the 1990 NCAA Division 111 National Cross Country cham-pionships

The runners found a challeng-ing. hilly course on the sunny, but windy day.

The first race, the women's open 5K, featured 77 runners. Representing the Hope cross team were Cheryl Becker ('92), Sarah Arnsman ('94) and Dori Reusink ('94). Becker crossed the finish line in 35th place, followed by Arnsman (44th) and Reusink (72nd).

The second race was a men's open 8K run. A good-sized field of 141 men participated, out of which Hope runner Cody Inglis

('93) finished 28th with a time of 28 :09 He was closely followed by John Nowak ( 94) and Scott Pat-ton ('94) who finished 41st and 47th respectively.

Steve Johnson ('94) con-tributed an improving effort with a 60th place finish. Dai Wessman ('93) and Jason Elmore ('93) finished seven seconds and six places apart with Wessman in 75th and Elmore in 81st place Rounding out Hope's field were Greg Brown ('94) 116th, Derek Dykstra ( 94) 121st, Darren Sipila ('94) 125th and Omar Postigo-Martell ('94) 139th.

The women's varsity race fielded 129 runners and saw a battle for team honors with Simpson College finishing a scant two points ahead of Carleton College. The Hope women ended up in sixth place, only being beaten by all national-ly ranked teams.

For individual honors, Sarah Cross of Simpson College ran away from the competition, com-pleting the 5K course in an im-pressive time of 18:43.29. Sarah Braunreiter of Alma ran a dis-

tant second with a time of 19:11 For the Hope women's team. Jilanne Bannick ('91) led the way with a 15th place finish in a time of 19:40. She was closely follow-ed by Theresa Foster ('94) who finished 16th seven seconds later

Alica Mendenhall ('94) finish-ed third for Hope with a time of 20:23 and 42nd place. Rounding out the Hope women's field were Cara Luchies ('94 ) 49th. 20:37; Sonja Langlois ( 94 ) 73rd, 21:27; Sheila Brink ('91) 78th, 21:36; and Knsten Kingma ('92) 101st, 22:50

The men's varsity race had a surprising upset as number four ranked St. Thomas upset number th ree North Cent ra l by a generous. The Hope men's team finished in 5th place, and, like the women's team, placed behind on-ly nationally ranked teams.

Individually, Bob Cisler of North Central College finished just three seconds ahead of three ather runners. Cisler's time was 25:16. Chad Guerreo of St. Thomas, Gary Wasserman of Nebraska Wesleyan and Tony Every of Cornell finished 2nd.

ird and 4th respectively. The Hope men were paced by

Bill Roberts ('91) who finished 26th with a time of 26:48.

The Hope harriers opened up their league competition on Fri-day. Oct. 5 at the Holland Coun-try Club against Albion and Olivet. The men's and women's teams ran away from the com-petition. The men's team beat Albion 22 to 39, and the women s team came away with a 20 to 37 win against Albion. Olivet forfeited to both Hope and Albion as they only had one woman and three men runners.

Leading the way for the Lady Dutch were Bannick and Foster, placing 1st and 2nd, respectively.

Bannick finished in 20:01 and Foster in 20:33. Hope received strong support from Brink (4th, 20:57), Mendenhall (5th, 21:03), Gretchen Sligh (8th, 22:00), Luchies (9th. 22:11), Kingma (12th, 23:12), Becker (13th, 23:47), and Arnsman (14th, 24:54).

In •he men's race, the Flying Dutchmen packed it up for the first part of the race, and finish-

ed with a fine performance Roberts won the race, covering the five mile course in 27:23. Al-bion and Olivet had the next three out of four places, with Hope's Fletter taking 3rd in 28:04 The Hope harriers ruled the next seven soots

On Saturday, Oct. 13, the Hope Cross Country teams par-ticipated in the Michigan Col-legiate Championships held at Michigan State's Forest Achers Golf Course in East Lansing The field consisted of mainly Division 1 and II schools

Participating were the Univer-sity of Michigan which placed first overall in both the men's and women's race, Michigan S t a t e , E a s t e r n , C e n t r a l , S o u t h w e s t e r n , W e s t e r n , Hillsdale, University of Detroit, Lake Superior State, Wayne State and Michigan Christian.

The Hope women's team plac-ed 10th, and the Hope men's team placed 8th, one point behind Hillsdale. The official individual results will be available later in the week.

Dutch drop close game by Rochelle Anderson sports editor

Despite a last quarter effort by Hope, Olivet held on to rain on Hope's Homecoming. At the Holland Municipal Stadium, the Flying Dutchmen brought the game to the wire before they lost 20-14.

The key drive of the game started when Hope's defense held the Comet's and turned the ball over with under six minutes to play.

Three key things happened to bring Hope to within a pass of a win. First, the scoreboard went off, and the officials put six minutes back on the board. This gave Hope as much as 30 seconds more in which to play.

The second was the two pass plays totalling 63 yards from Stefan Swartzmiller (492) to Jeff Schorfhaar (*91). This lined up a 10 yard touchdown run by Chris Howe(491).

The third key play was when Hope's defense forced Olivet to turn the ball over after being down third and 17 and fourth and 7. This gave Hope possession at their own 42 yard line.

With 2:39 left to play and down by six, it looked as if Hope would take the victory from Olivet. Quick passes from Swartzmiller to Kelly Powers(491) and Schor-fhaar put Hope on Olivet's 31 yard line with 1:52 left.

With :54 seconds left Hope had the ball on the 13 yard line. Hope took their last time-out with 37 seconds left and a third and nine situation still on the 13. Swart-zmiller went to Howe and he missed the pass.

With fourth and nine, but what might as well have been goal, Hope lined up again. They ran the play and the pass was on the numbers to Howe on the five yard line. Howe turned Uojuickly and could not hold onto it. With 24 seconds left Hope turned the ball and the game over to Olivet.

Smith commented on the last two plays of their possession, 4,We ran a fullback flat pass to Howe and the second we ran what we call the flood play. We push all the guys to one side and look."

Olivet dominated the first half scoring all their points then. Hope scored with 7:21 left in the half on an eight play, 56 yard drive. The touchdown came from a six y a r d r u n by P e t e r Stuursma(493).

Key mistakes for Hope enabled Olivet to make two touchdowns in the first quar te r . Smith said,44We just didn't control the line of scr immage."

Another key was the penalties against Hope in the first quarter. Two offsided penalties put Olivet on the two yard line enabling their first touchdown.

Hope Homecoming loss to Olivet.

Hope into a second and 15 on their first possession. They chose to punt on fourth and one.

With 1:14 left in the half. Olivet put their final points on the board, missing the extra point.

44I commend them for playing well on the road," Smith said about Olivet, 44It was our Homecoming and I don't think our guys played well in the firsi half."

i thought when I saw Howe wide open then, we had pulled off another miracle," Smith said, T

feel sorry for him." He added, 44I don't think

(Howe) realized how wide open he was. I think he was looking for someone to come up and hit him, and there wasn't anybody there."

Matching up the statistics, Hope controlled the passing

gam- completing 15 of 26 passes for 212 yards, where as Olivet on-'y completed 6 of 17 for 73 yards.

Olivet controlled the rushing with 266 yards to Hope's 135 yards.

Hope is now i-l in the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Associa-tion while Olivet moves to 2-0 with Albion. Albion defeated Adrian 10-7 and Kalamazoo defeated Alma.
