anc Sexual Harassment Policy Coming by Kaylene Shannon Sexual harassment is an in- creasing problem on most col- lege campuses in the United States. Last spring, after two years of work and revisions, Hope passed it's own sexual harassment policy. This policy will be explained in a pamphlet distributed sometime around homecoming. "The purpose of Hope's policy is to make known that we indeed are opposed to sexual harass- ment and to offer channels for students to get help or take other necessary action. There have been some problems with it (sex- ual harassment) and what students tend to do is go to their peers. We then end up dealing with results of the problem in- stead of causes. The policy should get to the root of the pro- blem before the derimental aftermath has a chance to ap- pear," said Chaplain Gerry Van Heest, a member of Hope's sex- ual harassment committee. Most harassment oc- curs from male to female (95 per- cent), although female to male can be a problem, also. The policy divides sexual harassment into five categories: generalized sexist remarks or sexist behavior, verbal and non-verbal insults, sexual advances with and without sanctions and sexual assaults and crimes. The policy states: "Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination.

"Sexual harassment is very hard to define. What may be sex- ual harassment to one individual, may not be to another. Very seldom do the two parties in a situation disagree on what hap- pened. Where the disagreement comes is in the interpretation of an incident." A staff of eight to ten counselors will be available to talk to students. However, all the counselors have not been hired and trained yet. "The whole procedure is set up to try to encourage informal resolution of the differences of opinion of what happened and minimize involvement of ad- ministration and legal action," commented Jane Dickie, another member of Hope's committee. "In many cases, such as with a male professor and a female stu- dent if the male would just be confronted with the student's feelings, he wouldn't do it again. Most people who have been sex- ually harassed don't want vin- dictivness. They just want the harassment to stop.

I, too, in this arti- cle, want to state from the begin- ning that I don'g have any answers, but I would like to share with you some suggestions and ' thoughts about off-campus living for you to discuss. One of the questions that Dr. Beal asked was concerning the status of off-campus students - should Hope be able to be involv- ed in their affairs or not? To this question, the answer came quick- ly. Hope students who live off- campus have been given permis- sion to do so by the Hope ad- ministration and by their parents; therefore, the students should be responsible for their own actions and be allowed to make decisions concerning their actions by themselves.

First, my question is this: If off-campus students want responsibility for their own ac- tions and don't want Hope to be involved in their affairs, then should the students ask Hope to intervene when problems with the community occur? Usually, responsibility for one's own ac- tions means that you are able to take care of the problems as well as enjoy the benefits. By asking Hope to intervene when pro- blems occur, it appears that the student is trying to enjoy the best of two worlds - responsibility and carefreeness. Seconc, I think that we would all agree that Hope does have a responsibility for those students who do live on-camput and especially for those who are under 21. So my second question is this: If off-campus students want the Hope administration to stay out of their affairs, then why do they invite the administration into their affairs by allowing on- campus students and those students who are under 21 to come to their parties? By pro- hibiting on-camput students to attend their parties, off-campus might legitimately say that the administration should not get In- volved In their affairs.

Off Campus Students: Rights, Responsibilities, Privileges

by Sarah Eberhard On Tuesday, Sept." 15 at iu:u0

p.m., a meeting was held, called by Dr. Beal, in order for the ad-ministration to hear the students' r e s p o n s e s t o J o n k e r -McCormick 's ar t ic le in the Holland Sentinel. At the beginn-ing of the meeting. Dr. Beal made a statement something to the effect of, "I don't claim to have any answers yet, but I do want to hear your (the students ') suggestions'. I, too, in this arti-cle, want to state from the begin-ning that I don'g have any answers, but I would like to share with you some suggestions and ' thoughts about off-campus living for you to discuss.

One of the questions that Dr. Beal asked was concerning the status of off-campus students -should Hope be able to be involv-ed in their affairs or not? To this question, the answer came quick-

ly. Hope students who live off-campus have been given permis-sion to do so by the Hope ad-m i n i s t r a t i o n and by t h e i r parents; therefore, the students should be responsible for their own actions and be allowed to make decisions concerning their actions by themselves. In and of itself, this is a fairly legitimate argument. If, however, and I say if, the of f -campus s tudents believe this argument, then I must pose a few questions.

First, my question is this: If o f f - c a m p u s s t u d e n t s w a n t responsibility for their own ac-tions and don't want Hope to be involved in their affairs, then should the students ask Hope to intervene when problems with the community occur? Usually, responsibility for one's own ac-tions means that you are able to take care of the problems as well as enjoy the benefits. By asking

Campaign Moving by Beverly Leurct i The Campaign for Hope is a 26

million dollar fund ra is ing cam-paign. The campaign puposes to mee t the immedia te needs, as well as to provide fu ture finan-cial strength, for Hope College with the money raised.

Of thei $26 million, $14 million will be used for the endowment funds. These funds include: the endowment funds to help student financial aid and funds for facul-ty d e v e l o p m e n t . F a c u l t y deve lopmen t g r a n t s p rov ide money for falculty m e m b e r s to continue with their education and for research projects . The en-dowment funds were also used to underwrite the new l ibrary.

The reamaining $12 million is for construction and renovation projects. These include: the con-struction of the new l ibrary and MAAS center, and the renovation of the Pres ident ' s home and the old l ibrary.

There a r e 17 m a j o r regions in the United States to be covered and four college advancement of-ficers to cover them. There of-

f i c e r s , K a t h y C a r l y , K r i s D e P r e e , B e r t Sk ipper , and Harold Goodsma, a re in charge of four regions; one in Western

'Michigan and three outside of thie a rea .

"What we a re hoping to ac-complish by this regional tact , is to get to know the constituency better by being in these a r e a r a couple t imes a y e a r . " Kris DePree said. "We a r e responsi-ble for calling on Hope alumni and friends, r e fo rmed churches, and corporat ions and founda-tions in these a rea r . We hope to learn more about the fr iends of the college in that w a y . "

Besides visiting these people, a huge phonathon is being set up to rech 15,000 others. F r o m the beginning of September until the end of November , 35 Hope students will be following up on a letter sent to these people by Max Boersma, one of the National Co-Chairman, asking for a specific amount of money which would be distribuited over a period of three years . The phonathons goal is to raise $750,000.

front the person who is harass ing them, though," Dickie continued.

The policy is designed to help both of the par t ies in a dispute by getting any d i sagreements out in the open.

"The point is, if anyone feels something has been done wrong to them, they deserve to have some support in confronting the person. If I, a s a facut ly member , were doing something that was making someone else feel uncomfortable , I would like to know there was a procedure by which s tudents were being en-couraged to confront m e with their feelings, r a the r than having them talk to all their f r iends about what I was doing or leave my c lass ," said Dickie.

P r o b l e m s of ten resul t ing from sexual h a r r a s s m e n t include people discontinuing to m a j o r in a certain feilds, leaving a cam-pus altogether, or a college for good. Also, vict ims often ex-perience fear and guilt over the fact that they should have stop-ped the perpe t ra tor . They feel they have failed.

Despite the fact that the policy has not been distributed to the campus yet, Dickie said overall response has been positive once everyone understood exact ly what the policy's purpose was.

"The policy's p reamble ex-plains what kind of place Hope is and why we even c a r e about the sexual h a r a s s m e n t problem. If Christianity means nnything in

the communi ty of people, we need to be responsible for one another and c a r e about one another , " Dickie said.

Chaplain Van Heest said that he expects friction over the policy, p r imar i ly in the form of faculty fear ing the friendliness of the Hope c a m p u s will the threatened.

The Chaplain concluded by saying, "Bes ides the fact that it is wise legally to have a sexual ha ras smen t policy, I feel it in-vokes a kind of holy fear that sen-sitized us to what other people are feeling. I don't think there is a big p rob lem with sexual ha ras smen t at Hope, but even some is too m u c h . "

natural ly be limited by not hav-ing on-camput students there, and so the noise level might not be so high.But by allowing on-campus students to their par t ies , they a r e giving the adminis t ra-tion an open door to get involved. And by serving minors, they a r e breaking the law which involves the police. In addition, by having noisy par t ies , the neighbors become involved by their r ight to h a v e p e a c e i n t h e i r neighborhood.

Third, I have one m o r e ques-tion. If off-campus s tudents a r e responsible for their own actions, does this mean that they no longer have any responsibility to Hope College and its reputat ion. I think before we answer the ques-tion, we mus t decide if living off-campus is a right of a s tudent or a privilege. As fa r a s I 've even known, Hope doesn't qua ran tee any student the right to live off-campus on their own. Ra ther ,

Hope has given students, which it felt responsible enough, the privilege of living off-campus. If it is a privilege, then I feel that It should be t rea ted as such. Priveleges ca r ry with them a responsibility on the p a r t of the rceiver to act In such a way as to not ref lect poorly back on the given. Off-campus s tudents a re still Hope s tudents and should act in such a way tha t when others see them, Hope is placed In a good light. This, also, will hold t rue for on-campus s tudents who by deciding to at tend Hope agreed to live by Its rules and by Its Ideals If possible. It Is not a one-way s t ree t ; It 's a two-way s t reet . Hope has the responsibili-ty of providing for us the best education and environment they can. We, the students, have the responsibility to represent Hope In the best way that we can whether through our achieved knowledge and through our behavior.

Charles Aschbrenner , pro-1

fessor of music at Hope College, has resumed his teaching respon-sibilities af ter a sabbatical leave for the second semester last year.

He spent a month in Mexico where he presented two en-thusiastically received lecture-recitals at the Bellas Artes in San Miguel de Allende. The subject of the presentations was "Chopin a n d S c h u m a n n - t h e G r e a t Romantics." The sold-out pro-grams raised ofer 250,000 pesos for cultural and educational ac-tivities in San Miguel.

In the weeks following his return from Mexico, Aschbren-ne r a t t e n d e d c l a s s e s a n d seminars in New York City, A m h e r s t , M a s s a c h u s e t t s , Portland, Oregon, Indianapolis, and Bloominton, Indiana. The goal of his performance ac-tivities centered around the development of mater ia l for new lecture-recitals called "Piano Portrai ts ," and for a lecture-demonstration for pianist and educators entitled "Dalcroze in My Fingers-Pulse Pat terning for Pianists."

A member of the Hope faculty since 1963, Aschbrenner is cur-rently listed in the 1986-1987 Directory of Michigan Touring Artists.

A few years later , the ceiling in Snow auditorium c a m e down. We were grateful tha t this took place at a t ime when the room was vacant . There were vivid reminders of

my energies have been devoted to campus development. It is in-t e r e s t i n g , a g a i n s t t h i s backgrouns, to note that in the discussions I had prior to my coming to Hope, the ma t t e r of campus development was not discussed extensively. At that t ime the DeWitt Center had just been completed and construction the importance of quality. of the Pea le Science Center was When the Dow Center was under way. The need for a new designed, we had to decide Physical Educat ion Center was, whether to put cement blocks or as I recall , the only specific mat- brick on the interior walls of the ter discussed.

Today we have a campus tha t projects.

I a m e x c i t e d a b o u t o u r facilities. They are , overall , real-ly first class, and we have much to be gra tefu l for.

As I look at c a m p u s develo-ment In the fu ture , I see the following needs and potential

a lmost every visitor acc la ims a s being exceptionally a t t rac t ive and well maintained. I t Is truly a splendid place to work, and what a joy It Is to show the campus to visitors, alumni, and prospect ive s tudents! I believe this has con-tr ibuted significantly to our suc-cesses In admissions and fund raising.

The second lesson Is tha t whenever we under take a pro-ject, we should do It well. If we do. It will be t te r fulfill the func-tion for which It w a s constructed, and In most cases will be more economical In the long run .

Renovation of the F i r s t and Second Floors of Van Zoeren and Construction of a Connecting Link Between VanderWerf and Van Zoeren.

The design of this space Is a ma t t e r to which we mus t give Im-media te attention. This facility will provide additional space for M a t h e m a t i c s , C o m p u t e r Science, and Physics . Other depar tments tha t will probably move Into this space a r e Educa-tion, Computer Services, and Nursing.

Admissions. Our plan is to acquire tha

apa r tmen t building on the cor ner of 10th and College and add on to it to provide a p e r m a n e n t facility for Admissions.

Student Housing. The need for additional i-

dent housing mus t be careful ly evaluated and planned. The first step, however, is to develop a definitive philosophy for residen-tial life, so tha t decisions can be made in the light of long-term goals . Any cons t ruc t ion we under take will probably be the last for some t ime, so the type of housing—single rooms, double rooms, apa r tmen t s , or special n e e d s s u c h a s l a n g u a g e h o u s e s — m u s t be c a r e f u l l y thought through.

Master Campus Plan and Campus Landscaping.

I list these two together because they a r e closely related. We have begun development of a mas te r plan for the campus . One a rea of par t icu lar importance in this planning is the block bet-ween 9th and 10th Streets and College and Columbia Avenues. This is the a r e a where additional a c a d e m i c f a c i l i t i e s a n d

FACTS IN BRIEF

Loans Make Up Half of Student Aid

An estimated $21 billion was awarded to students for finan-cial assistance in academic year 1985-86. This amount included:

• $3.7 billion in Pell grants;

• • $9.4 billion in loans awarded under the Guaranteed Stu-dent Loan (GSL) and Parent Loans for Undergraduate Stu-dents (PLUS) programs, including $8.8 billion awarded under the GSL program and $589 million under PLUS;

• $3.1 billion in other federal prdgrams, including $746 mil-lion in veterans benefits;

• $1.4 billion in state aid; and

• $3.4 billion in aid awarded by institutions.

There is an increasing reliance on loans. In 1985-86, half of all financial aid awarded was in the form of loans, while grants represented 47 percent of all aid, and work-study wages made up 3 percent.

• According to the College Board (based on constant 1982 dollars), in 1980-81 loans comprised 41 percent of all aid awarded; by 1983-84 loans represented 48 percent of all aid awarded.

• In 1985-86, the average estimated aid amount per recipient under the GSL and PLUS programs (based on constant 1982 dollars) was $2,044 and $2,399, respectively.

This profile was compiled by Cecilia Ottinger. research associate in the Division of Policy Analysis and Research, American Council on Education. For more information, please call (202) 939-9452.

your s tudents , and for all you a r e as persons . Having you as col-leagues and fr iends, observing a n d a p p l a u d i n g y o u r a c -complishments , and seeing the i m p a c t you h a v e on y o u r s tudents , have been some of the most reward ing exper iences I have had at Hope College.

The re a re a few academic ma t -ters I wish to commen t on brief-ly.

In ternat ional Educat ion There a r e two aspects of in-

t e rna t iona l educa t ion—having Hope s tudents study abroad and having foreign s tudents study at Hope. Both a r e a vital im-por tance. Under the leadership of P a u l F r i ed and Neal Sobania, our internat ional p r o g r a m h a s flourished and become an in-t e g r a l p a r t of college l i fe . However, the impor tance of our i n t e r n a t i o n a l p e r s p e c t i v e throughout the College, will in-c r ease in the y e a r s ahead. The reasons, of course, a r e s imply tha t the na tu re of the world in which we live requi red this. The challenge will be to develop this in ways so tha t these op-por tuni t ies a r e ava i lab le to s tudents a t reasonable cost, do not require undue expendi ture of College resources , and are effec-tive learning experiences.

Internat ional s tudents who study at Hope a r e an impor tan t resource for enhancing the inter-n a t l o n a l p e r s p e c t i v e a n d mul t icul tura l life of the College. This fall we will h a v e discussions on how we can more effectively rec ru i t internat ional s tudents .

Because an overseas ex-per ience is very enriching for s tudents f rom this country, we m u s t encourage and enhance t h e s e o p p o r t u n i t i e s fo r our s tudents without de t rac t ing f rom the s t rength of our on-campus p rog rams . This will need con-tinued crea t ive attention.

Continuing Educat ion For a fair ly considerable

period of t ime we have been discussing the m a t t e r of wha t role we should play in continuing education in this communi ty . The re a r e continuing education needs in this a r e a . We a re

meeting some of them, o ther in-stitutions a r e meet ing cer ta in needs, and some needs a r e unmet . Davenport has a fair ly extensive p rog ram in our com-munity, and Aquinas College has explored the possibility of our of-fer ing its Mas te r in Managemen t p rogram in Holland. There is also a fine consortium of public school p r o g r a m s in Community Educat ion under the leadership of La r ry Blackmer .

What we should do, in my judgement , is s take out the role we a r e willing to play, move ahead and do this well, and en-courage other institutions to meet other needs. Fu r the r , I believe tha t the new l ibrary of-f e r s s o m e i n t e r e s t i n g possibilities to develop p r o g r a m s in "con t inued l e a r n i n g / ' in which the emphas i s is on in-dividual responsibility to con-tinue to learn , as compared to "continued learning, , , in which the focus is on instututions giving and s tudents taking courses. Also, the need for p r i m a r y and s econda ry t e a c h e r s to t ake courses in order to re ta in their cer t i f icat ion offers some In-terest ing opportunities for us to mee t needs in this a r ea . The pro-vost and the academic deans a re continuing to study var ious op-tions and develop concrete plans. This is an a rea tha t we should continue to deliberately pursue and decide on a definitive course of action.

Honors P r o g r a m s Another a rea we have been

discussing for some t ime is an H o n o r s P r o g r a m . A l m o s t without exception, there is agree-ment tha t we should have an Honors P r o g r a m . This is also an a r e a t h a t the p rovos t and academic deans a r e address ing and an initial effort is under way this fall.

In my judgment , an Honors P r o g r a m could have two com-ponets. The first would be a pro-g r a m for the very best s tudents . Such a p rog ram would se rve the top one or two percent of the s tudents in any given c lass and would be designed to p r e p a r e s tudents to compete for Mar-shall, Rhodes and comparab le scholarhips. This p r o g r a m would s t a r t In the f r e shman y e a r and

have contunuity throughout the students ' undergradua te years . While s tudents could apply for this p rog ram, selection stan-dards would be such that the pur-pose and intergrlty of the pro-g ram is mainta ined. This pro-gram could well involve a group of f a c u l t y m e m b e r s , in a reasonably informal organiza-tion with an appropr ia te n a m e and identity.

The second would be a general Honors P r o g r a m that would be more tradit ional and would provide challenges and op-portunities for approximately the top ten percent of the class. This would pr imar i ly involve special curr icular oppurtunit les and re la ted academic advising.

I believe that having a pro-g ram along these two lines would provide unique opportunities fo^ our most gifted s tudents and enable us to a t t rac t an Increased number of outs tanding high school students. This p r o g r a m could also impact positively on retention. As we move Into these areas , we will have to give atten-tion to how this Impacts on our current p rog rams for Pres iden-tial and National Merit Scholars, our Distinguished Scholars Pro-gram, and on s tudents who a r e not in an Honors P r o g r a m . We must avoid developing a spiri t of elitism or any suggestion tha t s tudents who a r e not in the Honors P r o g r a m a re second class.

F r e s h m a n Studies and In-stitutional Research

For some t ime I have had a concern relat ive to f r e s h m a n studies; namely, how we can best take into account the diver-sity in p r e p a r a t i o n that s tudents have as they come to Hope. On the one hand we have the FOCUS program and, as I have just sug-gested, there is the possibility of an Honors P r o g r a m . This will certainly help us address this issue. But there is a m o r e general aspect tha t I want to c o m m e n t on b r i e f l y w h i c h r e l a t e s to the d ivers i ty in academic qualities and personal preparat ion for college s tudies that s tudents have as they come to us. These diversit ies r e l a t e to the quality of the high school which the student at tended, the

per fo rmance in the given high school, the s tudent ' s nat ive abili-ty, and the s tudent ' s motivation. There a re s tudents at tending Hope who clearly have the ability to succeed well a t Hope and have done well in high school, but whose prepara t ion Is not s t rong because of the quali ty of the high school a t tended. The p r imary need of such s tudents is an effec-tive transition period dur ing their first, and pe rhaps second, semester . On the other hand, there a re s tudents who have a strong native ability, who attend-ed a good high school, and who only did an adequa te job because they lacked motivation. These students offer a special challenge to us to provide an envi roment In which they will begin to real ize their full potential . These a r e but two examples of the var ie ty of q u a l i f i c a t i o n s a n d a t t i t u d e s students have a t they come to Hope.

There Is much we could do by way of Instututlonal r esea rch to identify the quali t ies s tudents have as they come to college, to analyze their p e r f o r m a n c e in relation to these qualifications, and t h e n s e e k to d e v e l o p f reshman-year p r o g r a m s tha t a r e in s i g n i f i c a n t m e a s u r e responsive to where s tudents a r e as they come to Hope. There would be no d i f ference in gradua-tion requi rements . We would on-ly seek to be responsive to where students a r e as they come to us and provide an apporpr ia te t ran-sition for their college work. This might even have Implications as to where we assign s tudents in the residence halls . To achieve this overall goal, we would need s o m e e f f e c t i v e a c a d e m i c research so tha t we can gain in-sights and unders tandings as to what the m a j o r var iab les a re that we should look for, and how w e c a n p r o v i d e t h e b e s t f r e shman yea r for s tudents to begin to achieve their full poten-tial. This whole a rea could become an interest ing resea rch a r ea for a facul ty m e m b e r who had an interest in the theory and pract ice of learning.

general category. These Include all of the activities of the Office of Student Affairs .

In this a rea also I sense that overall things a re going well. An important issue is, as I see it, the quality of residential life. This is also one of the most difficult a r eas to effectively adminis ter a n d m a n a g e . W h i l e m a n y aspects of our residential life a re going well, there a r e certainly significant opportunities for im-provement . Phil Beal and Bruce J o h n s t o n a r e a d d r e s s i n g a number of these and I know this will be a priority endeavor for them this year .

The goal is quite clear—to create an environment in the residence halls in which s tudents have a genuine sense of owner-ship and where, under the leader-ship of the staff , they can work coope ra t i ve ly to m a k e our redidence halls p laces where-high oriented personal develop-ment is enhanced, and where we can look forward to a new level of quality in residential life this year and, through this, to im-proved quali ty in acedemic achievement .

I a m grateful to be able to report that the Student Affai rs staff had a very fine r e t r e a t and is now working toward more ful-ly defining their mission and developing s t ra tegic plans to achieve this mission. This will be an important s tep in developing a long-range approach to the varie-ty of issues we face in our residential life.

There is one addit ional mat-ter in r ega rd to c a m p u s life that I wish to comment on. When I c a m e to Hope in 1972, which was just a f t e r the peak of the student activism of the la te 1960's and early 1970's, the Higher Horizon P r o g r a m was f lourishing at Hope, and the Min i s t ry of Christ 's People had a number of ac t iv i t ies t ha t p rov ided op-portunities for s tudents , faculty and staff to r each out and serve others. Our Upward Bound Pro-gram, which has been very suc-cessful over the yea r s , was in-itiated in this s a m e e r a . While many of these volunteer ac-tivities continue, they have, I believe, lost some of their vitality and appeal to s tudents . I believe that a renewal of the spirit of voluntary service, a vision for meeting the needs of people, and a rejuvenat ion of these pro-grams , would be a very signifi-cant s tep for us as a College to take a t this t ime. Dean Beal and I have discussed this and I a m grateful to be able to repor t that he has a keen Interest In such programs. As the Student Affairs staff moves In this direction, I hope It will have b road support f rom the faculty and the ent ire College communi ty .

New Music Montage The Cure-Standing on a Beach Ramone

THE CURE- STANDING ON A BEACH (The Singles)

The Cure m a y be one of this d e c a d e ' s bes t kep t s e c r e t s . Formed in 1979, The Cure didn' t gain a large following until recently-thls populari ty is long overdue.

The beauty of the Cure is their inconsistency. Since 1979, the band ahs undergone several per-sonne l c h a n g e s r a n g i n g in number f rom three to five with each change d ramat ica ly affec-ting the band ' s sound. This album, being a compilation, ex-cellently displays the evolution of the Cure sound f rom 1979 to 1985. Though unmis takable Cure-like, ech song is unique. The Cure sound is the responsibility of Robert Smith, the band founder, c u r r e n t g u i t a r i s t a n d l e a d vocal is t . A second founder , Lawerence Tolhurst leaves his keyboard m a r k throughout Cure creations.

Relying heavily on gui tars (somet imes up to three) , the Cure c rea tes an elliptical sound

that eludes classification. Smith weaves lyrics in and out of com-plex gui tar pa t t e rns and the vital bassline develops a batch of music tha t ' s not only good, but good for you. SMith 's vocal d e l i v e r y i s c r e a t i v e a n d vivacious. At t imes intense, a t t imes sing-song, he h a s a superb voice which he uses to effectively express his myst ical , enigmat ic lyrics. Tremendously emotional, he gets " in to" the song and vocalizes joy, sorrow, love and anxiety. Smith ' s voice delivers exce l l ence f r o m t h e highly danceable " In between Days ," to t h e m o r o s e ' ^ C h a r l o t t e somet imes . "

The Smith genius m a k e s this a classic a lbum. Talent , creativi ty and evergy spring forth f rom STANDING ON A BEACH in droves. As an added bonus, the cassette includes twelve b-sides of the Cure singles for a total of twenty-five songs - what a bargain!

THE SMITHS- THE QUEEN IS DEAD

The third L P by this highly ac-claimed British quar te t bea r s lit-tle d i f ference than the preceding MEAT IS MURDER, and THE SMITHS LP ' s . Thus, depending upon where you stand, this album with be either rotten repeti t iveness, or another s troke of genius f rom the Smiths. I tend toward the belief that this is a refined, stylistically gorgeous album.

Those fami la r with The SMiths will r e c o g n i z e the d r o n i n g delivery of vocalist Morrissey. However, I think he 's actually singing a bit on this a lbum! Mor-rissey is a fascinat ing individual who dropped his su rname yea r s ago and set out to write an odd type or music . Finding Johnny Marr , who wanted to play some wild, original gui tar music, they formed the Smiths. Morr issey 's melodious monologue-s inging reflects both his outspoken opi-nions and t remendously colorful p e r s o n a l i t y . An a v o w e d homosexual, Morrisey lives a ce l i ba t e l i f e s ty l e and ca l l s

himself the "Messiah of the theird gender . " These radica l sexual beliefs su r face in his music as Morrissey l amen t s lost Aeterosexual loves, brokes rela-tionships, and the pain, suffer-ing, and less reflected side of love. Violently oppeses to Brit ish P r i m e Minister Thatcher , Mor-rissey has been know to say " I certainly hope that there is a Sirhan Sirhan out there for h e r . " This, coupled with anti-royalty sentiment causes much of his music to be darkly pessimist ic and despair ing.

However, The Smiths a r e a t remendously ref reshing band that plays music for today. Not all doomsday-ish, The Smiths ' music is clever, often beaut i ful and chock full o' genius.

The band plays a r a t h e r s t r a i g h t f o r w a r d b r a n d of "Engl ish pop" utilizing Johnny Mar r ' s gui ta r ability as well as creativity to yield an upbeat , driving sound that has m a d e the Smiths famous .

THE QUEEN IS DEAN is a

fabulous new a lbum f rom the Smiths. As they polish their sound and ref ine it a bit it is turn-ing out to be a ve ry melodious, pleasant-sounding music. The ear ly Smi ths tended toward an intense, driving music . This album rounds out the edges in a polished fashion with the end result being a ve ry melodius, pleasant-sounding music making for a grea t addition to any collec-tion.

Dow Center a Popular Place by Betsy Andree It 's one of the bigger building

on campus, it 's almost always filled with young, health con-scious students, and doors are open to anyone who has a proper ID.

The Dow Health and Physical Education Center is a place which m o s t Hope Co l l ege students couldn't live without. We go there to sweat it out on a racquetball court, swim our dai-ly laps, or practive with the team. There are even some lucky students like me who work at the Dow for an on-campus job.

But what makes the Dow so at-tractive to people? Let 's take a close look at what this facility has to offer.

As you walk into the Dow, the first thing you see is the pool area. Because the pool is " L " shaped, it can be split up into either meters or yards. Usually the pool is set up in meters, unless the swim team is holding a meet there. A 1-meter and a 3-meter diving board complete the deep end of the pool. Lifeguards are always on duty when the pool is open to ensure safety for all swimmers.

The huge, triple-court gym-

DEAD FISH

nasium occupies the biggest amount of space at the Dow Center. Games such as basket-ball, volleyball, soccer, and even tennis a r e played in here. Basketballs and volleyballs may be checked out at the equipment room with a student ID.

Racquetball is another popular sport, and there a re six racquet-ball courts on the north side of the gym. Faculty, staff, and students can play for free, while community members and guests pay $4 for a court. Reservations for courts should be made at the equipment room (ext. 6991), and you must leave your ID there while playing.

The running track, elevated above the gym, lends itself to an excellent overall view of the whole gymnasium, racquetball courts included.

In the training room, student athletes can get "doctored up" before practice or talk to head athletic trainer Richard Ray about a recent injury.

Another service for students, the Health Clinic, is the place to go if you're bothered by a nagg-ing sore throat, need a physical exam for athletics, or the like.

Upstairs in the facility, there is

The Inklings a weight room which contains both Universal and Nautilus m a c h i n e s . T h e w r e s t l i n g -gymnastics room adjoins the weight room and is used for various activities such as aerobic and karate classes. Also on the second floor of the Dow Center is a dance studio complete with plenty of mirrors and a special dance floor.

Besides being available to Hope students, faculty, and staff, the Dow is open to people from the Holland Community who buy year ly m e m b e r s h i p s . Many families take advantage of this program, and a handful of area businessmen, ministers, teacher, and school children are faithful visitors to the Dow.

In opening it 's doors to the sur-rounding community, Hope Col-lege's Dow Center is unique from many other college physical education centers. This relation-ship is a reflection of the close bond between the college and the community.

Key people involved in making surfe the Dow runs smoothly on a day-to-day basis include Equip-ment Manager "Bunko" Jap-inga, Program Director George Kraft, and Facility Coordinator-

by Joel

by Carol Ormsby Several years ago, a group of

Hope students got together under the direction of Dr. Robert Elder to discuss and debate the issues of the day. After awhile they began publishing the results of their debates in an insert in the Anchor, called the Inklings. For the past two years they've been on their own, publishing their journal on a bi-weekly basis.

You might ask what type of people the Inklings writers are. Anyone from students to faculty members is allowed to attend meetings or write articles. Steve Stroessner, editor of the Inklings, says that the people who attend meetings, "tend to be on the

Office Manager Jane Holman. Clearly, they all do a wonderful job in keeping the building up to par, along with the office staff, custodial staff, and coaches of Hope's athletic teams. Because of this, the Dow Health and Physical Education Center, is and enjoyable and excellent place to exercise for Hope s t u d e n t s a n d c o m m u n i t y members alike.

liberal side, which makes for one-sided discussions." He would like it if more people were in-terested so that there would be opposing points of view. They try to cover two to three topice per meeting.

They meet Tuesdays at 7:00 p.m. in the Klet and discuss everything from campus issues, such as the recent drinking con-troversy, to community and na-tional issues. Their editorail policy is very liberal. They eill print any materal of quality without censorship as long as the material is not vindictive.

The Inklings doesn't have a stand or opinion as a group, and in fact prefers as many different opinions as possible. It provides an opportunity for people to get involved in discussions and ex-press opinions that they feel strongly about.

The Inklings is funded through student council, and is available at the Van Zoeren library, dining hall, and other locations around the campus. Their meetings are open to anyone who is interested, and your opinions would be welcome.

La Semilla" on display in DePree

A show of black and white photographs of migrant field workers in Western Michigan will be featured in the Corridor Gallery of the DePree Art Center from Sept. 22-29.

The photographs were taken by Andy Fierro who began work-ing on this project as a personal interest a year ago. Recently h e received a grant f rom the Muskegon, O t t awa , Oceana Regrant Agency (M.O.O.R.A.) of the Michigan Council for the Arts. The grant was applied for through the Crossroad Chapel of the Reformed Church in America of which Fierro is the pastor.

The present exhibition consists of 25 b l a c k a n d w h i t e photographs of the migrant field workers throughout Ot tawa, Muskegon and Oceana counties.

Fierro has entitled the show "La Semilla" which means the seed in Spanish. Fierro entitles the p r o j e c t " L a S e m i l l a " because of the many memories that he brings to this work. Hav-ing been born in Texas, his parents and many relatives mov-ed to Michigan in the early 50's spending many of their years working the fields in Western Michigan.

While most of the photographs are of the workers in the field, Fierro was also able to capture their moments of leisure. He was asked to photograph a special concert for the migrant workers in Hart. This concert was produc-ed by the Hart Migrant Educa-tion Program and also supported by M.O.O.R.A.

Football Triumphs Over DePauw GREENCASTLE. Ind. - Hope

College relied on a strong second .lalf per formance to gain their first football victory of the sea-son Saturday and at the same time get a monkey off their back.

The Dutchmen topped DePauw University 21-13 in a rare Indiana road victory before 2,800 fans who consumed hot dogs and ham-burgers in a pre-game picnfc cel-ebrat ing the university's .150th anniversary.

But it was the Flying Dutch-men who did the feasting.

"This ranks right up there with some other big Hope victories." voiced a delighted Smith who views the Hope-DePauw rivalry as becoming as intense as some the Dutchmen have in the MIAA.

It was Hope's first victory over DePauw in Greencastle since 1974 and it marked only the sec-ond t ime in 15 games that a Hope team has been able to win on an Indiana opponent 's field over the past decade.

And it may have shown 11 o Dutchmen themselves that tney can win despite being faced with what is being called Hope's most difficult non-league schedule in years.

44This was a real confidence builder." admitted Smith. "We certainly played better than in our first game loss to Witten-berg ."

The win required heroics from several players in the second half af ter the Dutchmen trailed at the intermission for second straight game.

Dutchmen Get

Third Straight Win by Sue Looman The Flying Dutchmen soccer

team won their third straight game on Saturday against the Aquinas Redwings .

Very early In the first half Hope scored on an Impressive goal by J e r ry Nyanor. J e r r y also s c o r e d t h e s e c o n d g o a l unassisted as he drew the goal keeper out of position and tapped It In.

The final goal of the game went to Hans Hlemstra . Hans was un-successful on two previous shots on goal before connecting off a pass from Mike Kubert .

The Red Wings werew on the run all afternoon, but when they gained posslsslon Hope was quick to regain It and s ta r t another run at the Aquinas goal.

The constant chat ter f rom goalie Curt Blankespoore, and dominating play f rom Kevin Demes, Dave Dergln, Paul Roe and Stefan Schnitzer helped spark the Dutchmen attack,

The next action will be a t home against the Adrlam Bulldogs on Tuesday, September 23, a t 3:30.

Sophomore tailback Joe Cos-sey of Fennville had a stellar per-formance. coming off the bench for injured veteran Todd Stewart in the third quarter.-Cossey, who had only one carry for a negative two yards in Hope's first game, ignited what up to then had been a somewhat stagnant Hope offen-sive attack, gaining 40 yards in three rushes and catching a 17-yard pass in an 81 yard drive that resulted in Hope's go-ahead touchdown.

And there was sophomore de-fensive back Terry Ayrault, a backup quar terback who plays in the defensive backfield on pass-ing situations. He intercepted a pass late in the game on the De-Pauw 28 af ter Hope had been th-warted ii) an a t tempt to run down the clock. Eleven plays later, Hope got an insurance touch-down when Cossey took a two-yard pass from quarterback Chris Mendels.

And the Hope defense was awe-some. Led by junior linebacker

Don Dahlquist 's 11 tackles, the Dutchmen limited DePauw to 50 yards rushing and just two third-down conversions in 12 tries.-In the second half DePauw had only three first downs and was limited to eight yards rushing and 33 yards total.

Dahlquist added a pass inter-ception along with senior Barry Immink of Hamilton, and sopho-more Kevin Bartz.

Mendels had another steady game as he passed for two touch-downs and ran for another. He hit junior end Todd Ackermann with a six-yard scoring strike to tie the score 7-7 in the second quar-ter, scored on a one-yard plunge to put Hope ahead 14-7. and then got the game-clincher to Cossey

af ter twice getting a first down o:> fourth-down plays.

The Dutchmen got an outstand-ing kicking performance from senior Doug Cooper who made three PAT kicks and averaged 36 yards on 10 punts. Twice he punted the ball inside the De-Pauw five-yard line.

Ackermann ended with five pass receptions for 47 yards while Cossey had 58 yards in 13 rushes.

Hope entertains Wabash Col-lege next Saturday at Holland Municipal Stadium. Wabash lost to Albion on Saturday 21-7.

The Pull The 89th annual Hope College

Pull tug-of-war between men of the f reshman and sophomore classes will be helf Friday, Sept. 26, beginning at 4 p.m. on the shore of the Balck River (near U.S. 31 and M-21).

The Pull Is an annual tradition that highlights the school year each fall. Involving 18 men and women f rom the f reshman and sophomore classes, plus several coaches f rom the junior and senior classes.

Last year , the f reshman class (this yea r ' s sophomore class) won in two hours, 30 minutes by judge's decision. The event has a three-hour t ime limit.

In 1977, the Pull set a record for

length and uniqueness. The f reshmen and sophomores tugg-ed for three hours, 51 minutes before the judges declared a tie due to darkness. New rules were implemented In 1978, limiting the length of the t ime of t he Pull. The rules allow for the judges to determine the winning class by measur ing the amount of rope pulled f rom the other t eam If one team has not claimed all of the rope.

In contrast , the shortest Pull lasted two and one-half minutes in 1956. Over the years , the sophomore class has held an edge in the win-loss column. Since 1934, they have takes 30 contests, the f reshmen 17. There have been two draws and three cancellations.

Page 12 HOPE COLLEGE ANCHOR September 2 5 , 1 9 8 6

Editorial Within an issue that is saturated with President Van Wylen's state of the college address and replies to Hope students' invariable drunknness, I naturally veered to a topic which is but a glimpse on the great stage of the college career. That instance, my friends, is the annual tug-o'-war between the frosh and sophs across the Black River.

My duty as ed-in-chief stirs within me an innate, a primeval, nay cosmological sense to hold forth on my perceptions of the Pull. This is neither the meanderings of a listless soul, nor is it an effort to populate otherwise vacant space. It is truly a divine-right action which has been handed down to me by nature of my posi-tion. So, put an ear out knaves.

Being a spectator of this event makes me grimace at the thought of seeing fellow house- and classmates purposely confron-ting physical horror and then relishing in the severity of the abrasiveness of such a task on the digits and palms.

What is the psychological bearing on such an event? Is It sex-ual, territorial, barbaric, or simply a communal way to vent ten-sion against those who have determindly made the first year of college life hell?

On the other scarred and bulbous hand, it may be considered the premier method to acquaint frosh with the rigors of true-life(i.e.

manually removing trees with seventeen or so good friends, bak-ing innumerable cookies, artfully hanging crepe-paper, and the like) while reinforcing these pseudo-traumas into the noggins of the sophomores who,one may wonder, should have known that life is a bitch and who wants to go around twice?

It would be too easy to dismiss the Pull as a light-hearted, yet strenuous, attempt to draw out the best within a person. For as it goes within the business sphere, one may only achieve success and triumph through the sacrifices and at the expense of others.

If this were a match without talk of ill-will between classes, spies, foul-play and back-handed tactics, then it would not be a game worth participating in or even watching.

In fact, it would not be a game played in middle America. Furthermore, who am I to examine the Pull while sitting in my

pious little cottage on ninth street observing all of the uniformly outfitted persons through skeptical glasses?

At any rate, this stream of consciousness is spent as I would presume are most of the fellows and their baking-fiend morale girls.

What I wish,though, is good luck to both teams. Play true and see you down by the river.

We're Still Here! Dear Editor, Last year Hope College was

shocked with the realization that there were homosexuals living and studying on this campus. The college was fur ther rocked by the idea that there should be a sup-port group for these gays. While Hope was recovering from all this news, a small group of friends sat down and met for the first t ime on this issue and set a plan into action. A group of about ten had already had three meetings by the t ime Hope students started to debate the idea of whether this thing should be let to go on! There was no debate for us, we were meeting!

Our numbers grew and our meetings became nore organized and more supportive. Topics ranged from coming out to parents to parenthood, from the sodomy laws to Hope College

The Solution policies. We, as a group, per-moted friendship and support for each other and education on the subject of being gay to the col-lege. We are NOT a dating ser-vice and much more than just a social club.

Many from opur group were seniors, as they feel they have nothing to lose by being more open and active (and will be graduating soon!) As you can see, once they've left we needed to regroup and reorganize. That is the point we a r e at r ight now. This letter is to inform all Hope College students that we ' re still here. Hes there is a homosexual support group on this campus and you'll be hearing a whole lot more about it in the near future! Thanks.

' I don't want to sound like I a m pushing this issue too hard, but since the publications of that let-ter I have gotten many let ters and phone calls f rom people who share m y concern. Therefore I feel the issue should be brought up one more t ime.

Although the major i ty of the communication I received con-tained extremely halpful sugges-tions to alleviate the problem, most of the let ters and calls were from peole who a r e just too shy to voice their opinions in your forum. Thus, I would like to take this opportunity to pass on their ideas as well as some of my own insights on dealing with the pro-blem.

The main problem with the issue is, of course, whether to concentrate on the pronouncia-tion of pint or on the pronouncia-tion of all the other owrds that end in 'int. ' At first it is very tempting to give all the ' int ' words that pleasing ring that 'pint ' has, but the temptation comes grinding to a halt when the word 'mint ' is considered.

'Mint ' would be pronunced 'mighnt ' and we already ahve a

word like that (might) . Could you imagine coming to America f rom another country, s tar t ing to learn English, and having to distriguish 'mint ' f rom 'might? ' Boy, you'd feel like a fool, and you wouldn't dare ask anybody which m e a n s what. It seems, then, that the only course of ac-tion to take is to change the pro-nounciation of 'pint. '

However, some of the people who share my concerns have other ideas . Bill Smith of Chicago, IL suggests that the word by changed to 'pient. ' Maura Reynolds, a Hope College Latin instructor, advises that the word could be changed to 'paent . ' And Charles Murphy, a business major , insists that the word be changed to 'half-quart . '

Is this all worth it? I am not sure. Soom, the metr ic system will bring on its liters and milliliters and the word 'pint ' will be a thing of the past . The q u e s t i o n i s , w i l l i t b e remembered? If so, something must be done. If not, I 'm sorry to have bothered you.

Sincerely, CARL HEIDEMAN

Blood Drive

A Phi 0 Will be sponsoring three Red Cross Blood Drives a g i n t h i s y e a r a n d t h e y desperately need more help.

A Phi O's goal is to collect 200 units of blood on Wednesday, Oc-tober 15. "This is a big respon-sibility", said Shelly Arnold, Director of Blood Services for the O t t a w a County Red Cross , "because this goal represents one half of the 400 units of blood our 34 county region needs to col-lect every day to meet the needs of aU 69 hospitals ."

"What we need most a r e bodies on the day of the dr ive" , said Kevin Brown, President of A Phi O, "to set up and breakdown the equipment and chairs as well as other a reas throughout the day . "

If you have one hour or more to spare on Wednesday, October 15, between 9 a .m. and 6:30 p.m. please contact Kevin Brown at 394-6882 or any A Phi O member as soon as possible.

I hear that some of you readers are not too very much happy with little old me—or us, as the case may be... Because, my sources inform me, we printed stuff that you didn't like.... That you thought was in bad taste... Like Rob Lowe having only one testicle.... Now, was it the word " tes t ic le" that was used, a very scientific term we all felt, or was it the fact that teen-heart-throb Rob Lowe is just too much adored by all the raging fresh women, or what?. . . Or maybe it was something else... Like, it was false.. . It wasn ' t the truth. . . WAS THAT IT? O . K . We a d m i t w r o n g — s e e how t o g e t h e r w h e n f a c e d wi th criticism? United we stand, etc.. . ROB LOWE HAS MORE THAN ONE TESTICLE.. . But he 's still a geek, and SAC is paying way too much money to get YOUNGBLOOD on campus . Trash it, guys! Get some taste! o.k., O.K., O.K. we will calm this thing down...we don't want to hurt the sensibilities of our millions of readers , but, if you have a complaint, quit gripen about it behind our backs and
