GRANHOLM VISIT: Sarah Wightman S T A F F W R I T E R »

Gov. Jennifer Granholm will

be speaking on Hope's campus,

courtesy of Hope Democrats, on Oct. 27. Granholm, the

Democratic candidate for the

upcoming election, will be speaking to the student body

and Holland community in

Dimnent Chapel regarding faith

and politics. "Granholm is making an

effort to reach out to conservative

voters, and doing that shows that she cares about everyone

in the slate, not just people in

Detroi t . . ." said Annika Carlson

( '07) , the vice president of Hope Democrats. "I know that (faith

and politics) is really important

to people in this community— instead of automatically

associating the Republican

Party with religion." Ryan Lincoln ( '07), the chair

of Hope Republicans, said,

"Both Granholm and Stabenow

have nothing to show for their

tenure. Granholm has allowed Michigan to fall to the bottom

of every national list. And all

Stabenow did. was rename a federal building. It 's time for

a change, and Dick DcVos and

Mike Bouchard are the change we need, the change Michigan

needs." Some students on campus

may think that this election has

no impact on them, or that voting

is merely too much work. Why

should students or anyone for that matter take the lime to vote?

"To be registered and become

informed and to vote is to live in a democracy," said the First

Gentleman Daniel G. Mulhem.

Politics affects everyone's life,

Mulhem emphasized, and voting is one way citizens can take

control of their lives. Laura Stark

( '07), the president of the Hope

Democrats, related Mulhem's

comments to students. "No matter if students vote

or not, the politicians are going to continue making decisions

for them. If students went out to

the polls and voted, politicians would have to pay attention to the

concerns of students," Stark said.

Governor to speak on faith and politics

When asked why the Hope

Democrats wanted Granholm to

come and speak. Stark said, "We believe that it is important to

have the opportunity to meet your

elected representatives. What better way to do this than to meet

them on campus." Granholm's speech at Hope

is part of the Hope Democrats

campaign to strengthen the party's

image around campus. The group has over 100 members and has

been planning many events

around campus. The chair of the Michigan Democratic Party, Mark

Brewer, spoke on Oct. 13 and

Sen. Carl Levin spoke on Oct. 18.

The group is also planning non-political events, such as a bone

marrow drive.

Lincoln discussed how his organization has prepared the

student body for the eIection."We

worked with the Hope Dems to

sponsor a voter registration drive. We also will be making signs and

voter guides available to students

this week as well as getting the Republican platform out on

campus," Lincoln said.

RETURN OF THE KNICKS

HOMECOMING Wins, runs and reunions

Homecoming weekend brought a wooden shoe

battle for Flying Dutchmen football, a parade featur-ing student organizations, reunions for several alumni

classes and a memorable night on the dance floor.

Two Hope teams, men's soccer and football, are tied for first in the MIAA after Saturday's games. The

annual Run-Swim-Walk was coupled with a health

fair to benefit both community members and students. The vast number of alumni who returned to their alma

mater were treated with banquets, parties and greet-

ing old friends at the tailgate picnic or alumni cha-pel choir. Reunions were held for the classes of 1986,

1991, 1996 and 2001. The Homecoming Ball, com-

plete with a live swing band and delicious desserts,

was the culmination of the day for many.

Kappa Eta Nu, . the

Knickerbocker Fraternity, is

"back in black." After a five-year suspension for past violations

during new member education, the Knicks have been reinstated

as a student organization at

Hope College. A group of alumni, including

Scott Mancinelli ( '90) , John Foster ( '74) , Craig Tommola

( '00) , Karl Dykema ( '03), Tim Hoebeke ( '00), Patrick

Glaub ( '02), Mitchell Walker

( '02) and Mike McCune ( '99) , approached the college in spring

2006 to reinstate the fraternity on campus. They are sponsoring

a fall rush beginning this week

involving euchre, paintball and

billiards events. "If two guys want to join the

fraternity, we ' r e not going to say

no because numbers are too low. Six, ten, whatever it is . . . we ' re

not going to say no because there are only a couple. Anything above

eight and we 'd be ecstatic. We

were always a smaller fraternity,"

Mancinelli said. Since approaching the college,

the alumni have been working • with Ellen Awad, interim director

of student activities and Greek life, as well as Matthew D'Oyly,

Interfraternity Council advisor. "I believe that Ellen and Matt

have worked hard to reintroduce

the Knicks to campus. Now it's up to the sliidents and whether

they want another fraternity," said Richard Frost, dean of students.

Both Mancinelli and Frost describe the fraternity as an

eclectic group of guys. "The Knicks were the enigma,

the indefinable.. .we want the one

guy who's a football player but doesn't want to be in the football

player fraternity," Mancinelli

said. "We'd have like one football player, arid one poet, and one

artist and a couple of actors . . . one hunter and one ultra-liberal

hippie guy all in the same group. The individual who can ' t fit into

any other box kind of thing." Frost also described the

Knicks as having a "strong social conscience" and as being "more

on the intellectual side."

NORTH KOREA GOES NUCLEAR J o e V a s k o S T A F F W R I T E R

The United States, caught up

in the turmoil of the Middle East, is now contending, with another

immediate international concern. On Oct. 9. the communist state of

North Korea, led by dicta-

tor Kim Jong

II, defied U.N.

r e c o m m e n d a -tions and deto-

nated a nuclear

device deep be-

low the earth's surface, becoming only the eighth

nation in the world to possess

such capabilities. The lest was conducted in the

remote North Korean county of Hwadae, where several months

earlier. North Korean scien-

tists had tested ballistic missiles

thought capable of reaching the

'The important focus should be on

the measures taken by superpowers

like Russia, China, Japan and the

u.sr A n d r e w Lee ( ' 0 9 )

United States. The tests were less

than successful but first alerted the world to North Korean mili-

tary ambitions. During the Oct. 9 test, a blast

which caused a subterranean

shock wave could be detected on s e i s m o g r a p h s

. ' all across the world, and it

was estimated

by scientists

to be around a 0.55 kiloton ex-

plosion. In ret-

rospect, it was

much less intense than the 22-kilo-

ton nuclear bomb dropped on Japan in 1945, but North Korean officials

called it a successftil attempt.

U.S. Ambassador to the U.N.

John Bolton said this situation was

"one of the gravest threats to inter-

national peace and security." At a news conference. Presi-

dent Bush took no excuses for the nuclear testing and labeled

the situation in Korea a "threat." He pushed for stiff sanctions

against North Korea and said that

although the U.S. had no immedi-

ate intentions to use force, it "re-serves all options to defend our

friends in the region." North Korea said that the tests

were partially in response to what

it considered a threat of pre-emp-tive attack by the U.S. President

Bush quickly denounced this sce-

nario and said that there was affir-

mation for peaceful negotiations. On Oct. 14, the United Nations

Security Council voted to impose

sanctions on North Korea which

included an end to its nuclear weapons program, the searching

of cargo ships for banned weap-

ons, a halt to all importing and ex-

porting of nuclear or ballistic ma-

terials, and a freeze to all assets

associated with these practices. Andrew Lee ( '09) , a student

from South Korea, said that rela-

tions between North and South

Korea have been under tension

and threat of war for so long that the younger generations have

generally become desensitized to

such threats. "The situation is very compli-

cated and it's not all about the two

nations anymore, the important

Lee said.

REP. FOLEY SCANDAL SHAKES UP MIDTERMS Scandal is likely to affect the outcome of the November midterm elections for the Republican Party Larissa Mariano S T A F F W R I T E R

The Republican Party is

in hot water over the scandal with Mark Foley, a Republican

representative from Florida, and

the inappropriate messages he

sent via Internet to former House

of Representatives pages. The scandal is dominating politics and

the media, just as the midterm

election season heats up. Foley resigned last month

when it was revealed that he sent

graphic e-mails to young male

pages, high school students who

help with administrative business

in the House. Foley was a member the House caucus on missing and

exploited children.

Rep. Mark Foley

The youngest reported

recipient of Foley's e-mails was

16 years old. Foley, through his

lawyer, has denied any kind of

sexual encounters with minors.

Earlier this month

Foley checked himself into

rehabilitation for alcoholism. The scandal, which started

as an embarrassment to the

Republican Party, has intensified as other top leaders in the party

are implicated. The House ethics

committee is investigating claims that other Republican

leaders, including Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert (R-

111.), were warned of Foley's

explicit e-mails years ago

but did nothing. Democrats and a few

Republicans are calling for the resignation of these leaders. The

White House and leaders of the

Democratic Party have called

for a criminal investigation

of Foley as well. On Oct. 12, Kirk Fordham. a

longtime aide to Foley, testified under oath that Hastert's office

was explicitly warned about

Foley's behavior at least three

years ago. However. Rep. John Shimkus (R-lll.), chair

of the House pages program, testified the following day

that he was not aware of any

complaints about Foley's conduct

toward pages.

Election Impact

Ohio) pleaded guilty to illegally

acts in Congress. Ney accepted

these gifts from lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Ney has refused to resign from his congressional

Aerial celebrates 20 years Kat ie Benne t t S T A F F W R I T E R

Aerial Dance Theater celebrates 20 years

of dance in the Holland community with its

upcoming performances Oct. 19-21, at 8 p.m.

in the Knickerbocker Theatre. This year 's program includes old favor-

ites as well as new works. "Les Enfants De

sluit," a dream landscape choreographed by

oshua Cumrtiings ( '07) will debut in addi-tion to an unusual solo by Artistic Director

Steven lannacone based on the themes of

Titual, illusion and earth. "Mine is a work in progress, it will prob-

ably be different each n i g h t " lannacone

said. He is inspired by his recent travels to

the Southwestern deserts and the memory

of his experiences in Japan. The piece is accompanied by the sus-

tained note of a cello which "will take the audience into what the piece is about, which

is intensity," lannacone said. Erik Alberg, Aerial 's technical director,

will again create the integral visual effects and sound scores that help define the look,

mood and texture of the company's works.

'You have to come with a completely open

and empty mind," said company member Anna Jonkman ( '08). "You just can't give

this show an agenda." Company member Sarah Loomis ( '06)

noted "(Aerial) is a lot younger in general this

year and that adds a totally different dynamic. It's cool because they're all really energetic

and fresh." This fall season. Aerial will seek the danc-

ers ' input, along with the audience's , to re-

name the company. Several options for a new name will be suggested, solicited and

discussed at the post-performance "Question

and Answer" sessions each night. "Feedback from those present at the dis-

cussions will help finalize the selection for a

new name with which Aerial hopes to invigo-

rate and re-energize itself at this significant milestone in its history, and to move forward

under a new identity that more clearly com-

municates its artistic vision," lannacone said. Tickets wfll be available at the door

starting at 7 p.m., with general seat ing be-

ginning at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are S7 for reg-

NASM to evaluate Hope's music department Courtenay Roberts A R T S E D I T O R

Hope College's music

department will soon undergo

reaccreditation that occurs

through the National Association of Schools of Music every

10 years. The process will

evaluate the music department's strengths, opportunities for study, areas for improvement and

proposed methods for addressing

problematic areas. NASM, founded in 1924, is

an association of conservatories,

colleges, universities and schools

that sets national standards for

undergraduate and graduate

degrees in music as well as other

crederttials. According to Professor

Margaret Kennedy-Dygas, chair of the department, accreditation

by NASM offers the college and

its students many benefits. If a music school is accredited, its

graduates automatically meet Michigan standards for teaching in

public schools, which streamlines

the teacher certification process. Hope first received accreditation

in 1959.

Accreditation also provides

a means for the department to formally represent to college

administration its. needs and

ensures that students are prepared

for rigorous graduate programs by providing a uniform set of

stondards for music education

institutions. Part of the mission statement

of NASM is making certain that

in addition to meeting national

standards, a program has the means to meet any goals that it has set for itself. Professor

Kennedy-Dygas has spent the

last 18 months on a self-study of

the department. This includes an examination

of curriculum, facilities, support mechanisms and degrees offered

to match up written and classroom

procedures. Music faculty met in a series of retreats for this purpose

and Kennedy-Dygas conducted research that included gathering

documents for months. With the last accreditation

occurring in 1996, a lot has

changed. "We've gotten to where people

include "The Perfect Storm" and

"Legends of the Fall." He con-structed his camera by putting a

pin through a pie tin and using a

piece of tape as the shutter. The exhibition invitation

notes, "Truly, the inherent nature

images as if they have come from

some other time or a land that we

first encounter with the resident spook many years ago. At 5 a.m.

on a snowy winter morning when

Alderink was checking the build-ing for the day, she found a set

of footprints in the freshly fallen snow. The footprints only led out

of Graves, but no tracks suggest-

ed that anyone had walked in.

After calling campus safety and conducting a thorough in-

spection of the building, no evi-

dence of unwanted visitors could

be found. Later that day, however, Al-

derink discovered the identity of

the "ghost ."

Courtenay Roberts A R T S E D I T O R

Katie Bennett S T A F F W R I T E R

Familiar frights and fall fun "We had long suspected that

one of the professors was sleep-

ing in his office," Alderink said. "I found him later that day and I

asked him about it . . . turns out,

he had left early that morning to go take a shower at the Dow."

If the footprint-making ghost was merely »a member of the

faculty, who, then, is the "Ghost

From Graves?"

v It turns out that the Graves

Ghost has only resided at Hope

since 1988. After receiving e-mail from

Steve DeRidder of the Physi-

cal Plant signed "TF„" or "Trash Fairy," Alderink decided to adopt

her own alter-ego. "The next lime I e-mailed,

I signed it ^GFG,' Ghost From

Graves," Alderink said. "I contin-

ually get asked ' Is there a ghost?'

Now my secret 's out ." Another popular myth among

Hope students concerns the exis-

tence of tunnels beneath much of

campus. Over the years, many

anecdotes surrounding the tun-nels have developed, but few

know the extent of these mysteri-

ous underground pathways. Physical Plant staff confirmed

the existence of at least some tun-

nels underneath campus. "One goes between Lubbers,

Van Vleck and Nykerk, and then

over to DeWilt," said Tim Dys of

the Physical Plant.

Alderink, hesitant to give away too many of Hope 's secrets, acknowledges tunnels running

between Voorhees, the president's

house and "who knows where

else." "The tunnels are supposed to

be secret, but everybody knows

about them," Alderink said. "I

want to keep people guessing." Rumors about students finding

entrances to the tunnels and walk-

ing or running through them are likely incorrect. Alderink said.

Many entrances to the tunnels are

locked or welded shut, and most of the paths are not tall enough for

people to walk through. "First, (the students) wouldn' t

be able to get in," Alderink said.

"Second, they're creepy. Third, there is only one part in the tun-

nels that you c<m even stand up

in." Despite Alderink's quick ex-

planations, it is unlikely that these

stories, pan of Hope's history,

will fade from student memory

anytime soon.

Antiphon — Resurrecting the blue-tail

Nicholas Engel

Editor's Note: As the nature of an an-

tiphon is responsive, this column w ill, from

time to time,Jeaturc the voice of another

member of the editorial staff.

The Jack RidI Visiting Writers Series recently offered the campus the privilege

of meeting Vievee Francis, a poet from the

Detroit area. Francis gave a poetry reading which,

along with a shod story by David Harris

Evanbach, composed an evening of

nostalgic introspection. Francis spoke

sketches of history and biography that

reflected personal experience—yet. by an inexplicable magic, transcended the

personal towards the universal - the

human - evoking glimmers of undeniable

poignancy. Those who were there will

know what I mean. This is all the more remarkable

considering the nature of her poetry. Francis read from "Blue-Tail Fly," a

book of her poems that try to speak from

the experience of "outsiders" - soldiers, the common folk - in the time between

the Mexican-American War and the Civil

War. Even the title of the book tries to enter

that dialogue. It refers to a folk song from

the period called "J immy Crack Corn."

In the song a slave from the South sings the story of his master 's death, caused by

a tiny little fly that bites the back of the

master 's horse. One of the early versions

of the song concludes:

De poney run.-he j ump an* pitch. An ' tumble massa in de ditch;

He died, an* de jury wonder'd why

De verdic was de blue tail fly.

"Blue-Tail Fly" harks back to the plantation, of -a place that knew nothing

of crop dusters and little of universal civil

rights. But it's also a metaphor. The fly

stands for those who resisted the then-current state of things, from abolitionist

John Brown to a nameless drummer boy whose sticks beat a rhythm of freedom.

Francis' poems offer momentary

glimpses into the lives of people who

lived in a generation over a hundred years removed from our own. That in

itself would be a large enough barrier to

understanding. But the title of the book implies that the people of her poems are

also dissidents, the marginalized, in other

words: radically other, the " them" to our "us." On reflection, the chasm between the

"us" of the audience and the "they" of the

Civil War era assumes forbidding, perhaps

insurmountable, proportions. How is it that a poem can have its origin

in the life of the other, yet reach across

this chasm of biography to stir the spirit of

those of us on the other side? I don't have

a clue. But after that evening, there can no longer be any doubt that the possibility is

real . . . "I praise you. Father, Lord of heaven

and earth, for although you have hidden

these things from the wise and learned you have revealed them to little children. Yes,

Father, for such has been your gracious

will." I want to point out only one thing in this

beautiful passage from Matthew 11: God ' s

revelation is given to "little children."

Some theologians have taken this phrase to mean the marginalized - the poor, the

widow, the plantation slave in the South -all those who, though innocent, suffer ever

in their bodies and often in their souls.

If this interpretation is true, then we have

every motivation to overcome the chasm and enter into the lives of the marginalized.

God is there. He has revealed Himself

to the suffering. And where there is

suffering—always—there is Jesus. What 's really remarkable is that,

millennia since the Resurrection, the world

has only just begun to figure it all out.

Contrary to popular assumption, Nick,

the Anchor's resident philosopher, is an in-

ternational studies major. When not laying

out the Anchor, he enjoys sleeping on yoga

mats.

Palestine. I am in the U.S., with

new friends, without family

and in a new culture, which I

do not fully understand. I am in an isolation that most people

do not understand.

The food and lifestyle are

diverse and at some moments frightening. I am leading a life

where you are independent and

self reliant; one where if you fall

there-is no one there to help you

get back on your feet. These feelings are explained

for international students as a

cultural shock. It is said to happen

after people travel from their

native country to another and back

after some time. It is supposed to show us the difference and we are

supposed to grow from it.

I have grown over this cultural

shock, maybe difficultly, but I have and I am done with it.

. This experience made me

stronger, more intelligent and better in all senses of this life.

However, this also made me

an international nomad living in

an eerie solitude, while traveling

in search of knowledge. Why am 1 saying this? I am

not complaining and I am not

seeking for the care of anyone.

\ am writing this because Hope College as an entity is not aware

of what international students

experience on a daily basis.

There are about thirty international students at

Hope (not including the third

culture students), living here on daily basis and people

underestimate us and mistake

our rights. All that I want from

this article is to raise your awareness to what international

students feel and live through

while at Hope.

Eating Well -The brunch bunch

The a Neal

1 = , \ i *

Finding time to eat together, let alone cook together during the school week can

be as challenging as geometry. Amidst all

of our busy schedules, Saturday morning brunches have become a time when my

friends and I are able to gather to share a

progressive meal with everyone bringing something to share or making a little course

while listening to Garrison Keillor on

NPR. Muffins are made, coffee is poured

and conversation takes place. Homework is brought but rarely

touched; instead, it's a time to reconnect and hear about each other 's internships,

classes, frustrations and moments of clarity

in this learning experience. The sharing of the preparation and

enjoyment of a meal together is one of

the truest incarnations of what community

looks like in action, which is to say our best and worst trails come out in our interactions.

My dictatorial kitchen persona emerges, telling friends just how to cut that tomato

correctly, or will take over peeling an apple

lest any skin be left on (gasp!). Meanwhile, my friends continue unperturbed, washing

the dishes we all create with reckless abandon and wiping sloppy spills from

formerly clean counters. Off campus, on campus, it makes

no difference where we are. Each week a revolving door of friends straggle in

throughout the morning, sitting down for

a muffin and maybe a game of Euchre,

converging together to share another sleepy

Saturday morning. This week, I thought I 'd share a couple of our favorite brunch

recipes.

Broiled Grapefruit

Preheat the oven to broil. Meanwhile,

cut grapefruit in half and place on a baking sheet. Using a knife* cut around each

section to make it easier to eat. Cover each half several spoonfuls of brown sugar.

Place pan in oven and bake 3-5 minutes,

just until brown sugar melts to form a golden brown crust. Remove and allow

to cool before serving. Note for those on

meal plan: our grapefruit came courtesy of the "you can take 2 pieces of fruit" from

Phelps rule. We stocked up during the

week for our brunches.

Larissa's (Mom's) Blueberry Muffins

Cream together in small howl:

VA cup butter

VI cup sugar

VA cup non-fat sour cream

/ i cup milk

Measure:

2 cups flour 2 tablespoons cornmeal

1 Vi teaspoons baking powder

Vi teaspoon ba l ing soda Vi teaspoon salt

Mix dry ingredients into wet,

stirring just until combined. Fold in a cup of blueberries. Fill muffin tins 3/4 full and

lop baiter with a mixture of 2 Tbs. sugar and I tsp. cinnamon. Bake at 400 degrees

for 20 minutes, until Jhe tops are golden.

Makes a dozen muffins. Remember, everyone has to eat. so you

might as well eat well.

international studies and political science.

Orange and blue don't make green To the Edi tor :

What comes to mind when you think of Hope College? The Pull? Nykerk? Flying

Dutch? Orange and Blue? How about

Green? One of the many areas where Hope falls

short of the Green label is with recycling.

This shortcoming was recognized in 1999,

when a Recycling Partnership was formed between Environmental Issues Group,

Physical Plant and Student Development.

This partnership was effective at first,

bringing recycling bins into all of the residence halls, but the past couple years have seen a decline in the amount recycled

by an estimated 40 percent.

Part of this was due to the fact that knowledge of the Partnership was not

passed down through the years, especially

in E1G. This led to a lack of education about the Recycling Program among students.

EIG tried to change that this year, by

handing out information at RA training and by speaking with each residence hall

individually about the program.. Seven

halls were very gracious in making the

lime for EIG lo come educate residents. Recycling just does not seem like an

important issue at Hope, but EIG would,

like lo change that by placing more recycling bins around campus. By making

recycling more convenient and prevalent on

campus, we hope that the great importance

of recycling will be recognized. The Recycling Partnership is in the process of

developing a pilot program which provides

extra recycling bins for plastic and paper in the lounge areas of Kollen, Dykstra and

Cook Halls. If the program is implemented, the bins will be moved around campus to

see where they have the greatest use.

Currently, cottages, residence halls and most apartments have recycling, so EIG

encourages students to make use of it and

also to make use of the new bins that are coming. When you recycle, you really

do make a difference in helping Hope be

a more Green campus. Please email env_

issues@hope.edu with questions. Meredith Praamsma ( '08)

use e-mail more than the telephone,"

Dygas said. "We've had to examine

how we ' re doing business today that 's

different from 10 years ago." Facility is presently the area of

concern. Dimnent Chapel currently

serves as the primary space for concert

performance. It serves not only the music

department but also Campus Ministries,

the Great Performance Series and various other concert and lecture series that occur

throughout the academic year.

Kennedy-Dygas believes that "We are well-poised to be re'accredited." The

evaluators from NASM will arrive on

campus Oct. 22 and will complete their

work Oct. 24.

Congressional Corner —

Confe rence Services During Tuesday's meeting Student

Congress hosted representatives f r o m Creative Dining services. Members

had the opportunity to ask questions and

share concerns about dining facilities.

P a r k i n g permi t p roposa l

Congress also reconsidered the re-vised VanHamersveld Parking Pro-

posal, which calls for an amendment

to the parking permit system. Students

in both residential halls and cottages would purchase a $200.00 permit al-

lowing them to park in any student lot on campus. All cottage residents would

have the option to park in their cottage driveways; however, the number of cot-

tage permits would not increase.

After 30 minutes of heated debate,

the proposal was passed 15-14 with one abstention. It will be passed on to the

appropriate administrative committee.

History Department Open House Are you a history major or minor? Would you like to be? Are you interested in a course or two?

The History Department will present an Open House, with information on history courses to be offered in Spring, 2007. A panel of majors, sponsored by Phi Alpha Theta, will discuss the history major and give

advice about classes. Meet the faculty, and welcome Professors M'Bayo and Van Dyken to Hope College.

KIRK OF ALL TRADES Nick Hinkle COPY EDITOR

Athletes may have met him after being knocked out, laying

flat on their backs or suffering a

serious injury. As an athlete, this encounter may not always include

good news, but he will do his

best to ensure the well-being of

every Hope athlete.-Kirk Brumels ( '88), head

athletic trainer at Hope, meets,

evaluates and treats dozens of

Hope athletes on a daily basis. As a graduate of Hope, Brumels

enjoys the athletic community

and helping athletes recover

from their injuries. "I enjoy working with people,"

Brumels said. "I want to work

with (athletes) to work it out."

Brumels finds himself as an athlete's first contact when they

suffer an injury. He keeps records

of every Hope athletes' injuries

and treatments.

"I am the first point of reference for our athletes health

care," Brumels said. "1 am kind

of the gatekeeper."

Brumelswasrecentlyappointed

chairperson of the Professional

Education Committee for the Michigan Athletic Trainers'

Society. The committee and

Brumels are committed to

providing continuous education

and opportunities for future athletic trainers.

• Brumels believes his profession requires continual learning and

knowledge in order to provide the

best medical treatment possible.

.

Kirk Brumels

"We have to move forward

with our continual education,"

Brumels said. "I consider myself

a life-long learner."

Through his learning experiences, Brumels has worked

with a variety of organizations,

including the New England

Patriots. After receiving offers

from the Detroit Lions and the

New England Patriots, Brumels went to New England and worked

as an assistant athletic trainer for

more than a decade. Brumels enjoyed the

professional football experience but did not want to forget his

responsibilities as an athletic

trainer. "It was an amazing experience,

but I could not allow myself to

get caught up in the professional sports aspect of it," Brumels said.

"I knew I had to provide health care to 60 guys."

After spending more than 10

seasons with the Patriots, Brumels

decided it was time for a career change. He simply needed more

time for his family.

"To me it was a no-brainer," Brumels said. "It was the best

decision to go there and the

best decision to leave and come

back to Hope." Now Brumels ' knowledge

and treatment is administered

to Hope athletes from all teams.

He has attempted to provide care

to all Hope athletes to the best

of his abilities, but he suggests there are certain precautions

athletes can take.

In evaluating the causes of

early season muscle pulls and soreness, Brumels said, "Usually,

(athletes) have not done enough

over the summer and chance of

injury goes up. They are playing

Russian roulette."

DIVING IN Emiiy Westrate STAFF W R I T E R

Both of Hope 's swimming and

diving teams are training hard in anticipation for their first meet,

the MIAA Relays on Oct. 21.

Last season, both the men's and women ' s teams placed second in

the MIAA Championship. This

season the teams are preparing

for their toughest competitors: Calvin for the women and Olivet

for the men.

"As a team, our goal is to take

back our MIAA Championship

from last year 's champions Olivet," Phil Heyboer ( ' lO) said.

The women's team also has

high expectations and is especially

excited to have gained a diver this

season. "I personally think we will

be and do belter than anyone expects," Jennifer Carr ( '07) said.

One strength shared by both

teams is an unusually large number

of freshmen, compounding the

potential and talent of the veteran

swimmers. "We brought in 15 new guys

this year and are really looking to

Swimmers start '06- '07 season

take advantage of our numbers in

every event, not just one," captain Kyle Waterstone ( '07) said. "We

have a lot of raw talent but that

doesn't mean anything unless

we work harder day in and day

out than any other team in the MIAA."

With morning practices four times a week and training every

weekday afternoon, both teams

are working tirelessly. Coach

John Patnott is also incorporating dry-land exercises into practices.

Patnott has led Hope teams to 28

conference championships and

was awarded NCAA Division III national Coach-of-the-Year by

the College Swimming Coaches

Association for the men's team in 1991 and the women's team in

1994 and 1998.

Although swimming may

appear to be an individual sport,

there is a strong bond between swimmers.

"We are a very tightly knit

group. Anyone on the team

would do anything to help another member of the team, both in the

water and out," Heyboer said.
