Among the sessions making up this workshop, one is 44The Complex World of Work". This session deals with typical en-try level jobs which college graduates would consider accepting.

the United States, Great Britain, or West Germany. I find it dif-ficult to equate a vision of a country in which people* wear kimonos, carry Samurai swords, and deny education to their poor with a country which sends Us Toyotas, advanced stereo equip-ment, T.V.'s, and other advanced technological equipment. Yet, many students have the former view of Japan. Koji reports that some Americans believe that if a Japanese person is not a Samuri or doesn't carry a sword, then he must be "Americanized." Koji replies that the Japanese are "modernized." Americanized does not equal "civilized." The Meiji Gakuin students are not the ex-ception in Japan. This common misconception, that there are "backward" Japanese and "Americanized" Japanese, we get from the mass media. And we can't avoid this misconception without a great deal of effort on our part.

As I asked my questions, I found a few students were very sur-prised that they didn't know the answers. Some of these studetns asked me more questions, eager to learn more. But a majority of the rest merely shrugged its shoulders and said, "Who cares?" Some other responses were, "We are the center of the world." "Everyone knows about us. Why do we have to know about them?" "Who cares what others countries do. I live here." I was shocked at this apparent lack of concern and arrogance. This apathy is a far greater concern than mere lack of knowledge. There are people here who don't even want to learn. Now, I am not suggesting that we need to learn everything about every country; that would be formidable, if not impossible. But a general knowledge of other countries or even regions is vital, especially those modern countries we deal most often with, such as Japan or West Germany. Why is such knowledge important? How can our country make intelligent foreign policy or international trade decisions without such information? And how can we, as voters, choose the best people to represent us in government if we don't possess enough information to analyze the issues? Our ignorance and arrogance, whether intentional or not, will eventually cause serious problems for our nation in dealings with other countries.

How can we learn more about the world? I do admit that it is easier for other countries to learn about the U.S. than it is for us to learn about them. But we have a unique opportunity here at Hope: there are students on campus from over forty different countries! Get to know a little about their countries and culture. Talk to them Get involved with the International Relations Club. Also, be critical of what you hear and see through the mass media. And the best way to learn about another country is, as Koji suggests, to visit another country. Hope offers many exiciting oportunities to do just that.

The world is much bigger than Holland, Michigan or even the United States of America. There is a whole world of people to meet, things to do and see, and cultures to enjoy. We owe it to ourselves to become better aquainted with the world we live in.

[Iditorfol Hope-safe and stiffing

We, as students, are under the impression that we are attending a Christian and liberal arts college. These qualities can co-exist, and there is cause for concern when one or both is compromised. The question has been raised regarding the role of religious considerations in faculty hiring policy. The obvious danger lies in the possibility of creating a society which is safe, homogeneous, and stifling. The point of a liberal arts experience is exposure to a diverse array; if we can't handle it in the little bubble of Hope College, how can we expect to survive in the "real world" where our contacts will not be screened for us? We must be strong ehough in our faith to accept those with different beliefs while not compromising our own.

The letter to the Hope College community from Sue Slapnick regarding this topic, states, in a very strong way, her perceptions of the situation at Hope. It would be informative to hear the ad-ministration's point of view, more specifically than: "a lot more factors" and questions about "ability to contribute to a liberal arts college." The suspicions which have been raised could be cleared by a little openness.

A Christian College must be comprised primarily, but not ex-clusively, of Christians; however, its actions and treatment of people must reflect its faith. It is highly doubtful that the Christian witness of Hope College to Barb Taller had the effect of drawing her nearer to Christ. This charge of hypocrisy is not a new one, and it mars the integrity and reputation of the College. By clarify-ing its position and holding fast to its policy, both the college and the personnel involved will be spared further embarrassments.

Guest Editorial "We are the center of the world"

by L. Shanafelt Are we, as Hope students, really informed about the world? I

have begun to wonder. After hearing the results of Koji Fukuzawa's report on our knowledge of modern Japan (see Beyond Hope), I couldn't believe that Hope students were so unin-formed. So I asked Koji's questions to about 50 people (including my mother). To my great surprise, most people couldn't answer even half of the questions correctly. And they were not giving the incorrect answers to be "cute." Most of the questions are not dependent on a knowledge of current events, but only the general knowledge that Japan is a modern, industrialized nation just like

Sox and the low Dear Editor, As an alumni, 1 regret that 1 missed

Steve Pope's original criticism of the col-lege for taking a stand on student sexual behavior. I would, however, like to ap-plaud Dave Vanderwel and the Student Affairs Staff for taking a clear Christian stand on the issue and for refusing to com-promise.

John Wesley once said, "Anything that cools my love for Christ is of the world," and he encouraged Christians to refuse to submit to the pleasures of the world. That calls for commitment: commitment to separating ourselves out from the world, to being transformed into that which is in accordance with the good and acceptable and perfect will of God (2 Cor 6:17, Romans 12:2).

Far too often we settle for comfort-we compromise our Christianity because it is easier to "ride with the tide" than it is to stand up for what we believe to be right. In a recent article in the Church Herald,

we are reminded of the destructive power of just such complacency. The article describes a cartoon depicting three middle-class Americans "s teaming in hell." The caption reads: "My motto was 'Go with the Flow,' but I had no idea the flow would end up here ." Why were they there? Because they willingly accepted the dictates of society; because they ap-proved and followed community opinion without question.

The Christian lifestyle is one which is radically different from what society dictates-it is a far cry from what com-munity opinion would label appropriate and acceptable in many instances. Chris-tians need radically different value systems if they are to stand out f rom the whole of society and they need to express them with a holy boldness that comes on-ly from walking in the Holy Spirit.

We need people like Vanderwel and the Student Affairs Staff who are not af ra id to express and stand up for Christian

values. Most of us choose either com-promise'or silence because we are afraid of looking^ foolish, and justifiably so. In Acts 26, Festus tells Paul that he is out of his mind. Why? Because he speaks boldly of his commitment to Christ. My friends, this world is not a different place: people will still call you crazy if you show yourself a radical Christian. Is it worth it? The Scriptures speaks for itself:

And men will say, 'Surely there is a reward for

the righteous; surely there is a God who judges

on earth. ' P s a l m 5 8 : 1 1

We need to be different, to be commit-ted, to be willing to risk our " image" in the eyes of society in order that we might let His light shine.

"This is the man" Jesus and non-Biblical sources

by Chaplain Smallegan There is insufficient evidence that has

been presented to deny the life and ex-istence of the man Jesus of Nazareth.

This may seem to some of you to be a bold statement. Many of us have been told that the only record we have of this man, that being the Bible, is the very source we turn to for our religious beliefs and lifestyles. We wonder if that is enough. In-deed, time and time again we search for credibility, we look for undeniable proof that what we believe about the Christian faith is true. And we often feel uncomfor-table when we read a statement such as the one made by Stephen Nelll, a well known historian, when he says, "It seems to be the case that the faith of the church stands or falls with the general reliability of the historical evidence for the life and death of Jesus Christ."

Where then do we turn to learn of this man Jesus. . Of a necessity we turn to the gospels of faith for they give us the most extensive portrait available. We make the claim that our gospels have as authors, historians. And yet Immediately we acknowledge that our gospels have as authors, theologians. The unfair analysis that many are prone to make Is that If we have theologians as authors then we can-not have before us honest, unbiased historians. Because they concern faith, the gospels seem to lose historical reliability.

If believing the gospel accounts Is dif-ficult for you, then I can assure you that we are not without 'secular' documenta-tion. In Jewish and Roman, as well as Christian writings we have documentary, institutional, and personal records. A cou-ple of examples will suffice here. A Roman author named Suetonius, In the t ime a round A.D. 120 compi led biographies of the first twelve Roman emperors, from Julius Caesar onward. In his Life of Claudius, he says of that emperor, "He expelled the Jews from Rome, on account of the riots in which

they were constantly Indulging, at the In-

stigation of Chrestus." 'Chrestus,' a com-mon slave-name, was a popular mis-spelling of the name of Christ. Or again in his Life of Nero, Suetonius notes that, "Punishment was inflicted on the Chris-tians, a body of people addicted to a novel and mischievous superstition." A final, and even more clear reference comes from the pen of the Roman historian Tacitus. In his Roman Annals he wrote of Nero's attempt to attach the blame on the Christians-"a class of men loathed for their vices." Tacitus ^adds, "They got their name from Christ, who was ex-ecuted by sentence of the procurator Pon-tius Pilate in the reign of Tiberius."

Accounts of this nature, though not volumnous, are nevertheless without question valid. The point is, that the gospels provide a much clearer picture ' the person Jesus. Realistically, we should expect this to be so. Only the men who llv-_ od with him could have seen him so clear-

ly. The fact of the matter is that a non-believer could not write a gospel. A gospel is good news about what God has done through Jesus; an unbeliever would only describe the wonderful, or bewildering, words of a remarkable Jewish teacher. The truth of the situation Is that apart from the gospels we have very few well developed portraits from which to draw our opinions of the man. Considering that Jesus was an unprestigious carpenter who died an early and irreverent death, one could hardly expect much more.

An article of this nature on the man Jesus is not to excuse Christians for not having sufficient, believable, or convinc-ing documentation. The purpose has. In a way, been to get you to see just how good a source we really have. If we consider the well known but often Ignored fact that most of the gospels were written after the writings of Paul we will be forced to note just how concerned they were with

maiorlclty. From a position where the gospel had already spread extensively and theological debate already raged, the gospels are wonderfully true to the sim-ple, somewhat naive life situation In which they occurred. To have lied or been Imaginatively creative simply would not have aided their cause, nor ours. This Is not an excuse for not having evidence. On the contrary, considering the oral tradi-tion of Jesus' day and the relatively short time period before these events were recorded, we have a very reliable record. What we read Is again an amazingly ac-curate re-portrayal of time, place, and emotion.

In the end I'd like you to see that even the non-believers of the time period just af ter Jesus ' death make credible reference to his life. From there we can confidently and without embarassment turn to the Scriptures to find out what he was like.

Survey indicates lack of knowledge by L. Shanafelt The major project of the Meijl Gakuin

students during their visit was an oral report. In this report, the Japanese students Interviewed students and faculty on such subjects as employment, educa-tion, religion, and society, then compared these answers with their knowledge of Japan. One such report, written by Koji Fukuzawa, asked questions about modern Japanese culture of 100 Hope students and corresponding questions about modern American culture of 100 students at Meljl Gakuin University. The results of this survey Indicated a general lack of knowledge of modern Japan by Hope students compared to knowledge of the USA by Meiji Gakuin students. The questions and results of Koji's survey are asjpllows:

Question 1: Who do you think is the Prime Minister of Japan? His name is Nakasone. Not one Hope student ques-tioned knew his name.

Question 2: What language is spoken in Japan? Eighty-one percent correctly answered, "Japanese." Nineteen percent Incorrectly answered, "Chinese."

Question 3: What is the capital of J apan? Seventy-five percent said "Tokyo", the correct answer. Twenty-

five percent Incorrectly answered, "Pek-ing", which Is a city In China.

The answer to each of the following questions If "False."

Question 4: There are Samurai war-riors in Japan today. Eighty-seven per-cent answered "true." (Koji admits this might be a tricky question).

Question 5: Japanese students wear kimonos when they go to school. Ninty-seven percent answered "true."

Question 6: Women in Japan cannot vote. Fifty-five percent said "true."

Question 7: There are no discos in Japan. Seventy-six percent thought this was true.

Question 8 Every family in Japan has at least one sword. Ninty-elght percent of the Hope students answered "true."

Question 9: Children of poor families in Japan cannot go to elementary school. Ninty-nine percent said "true."

In each case over fifty percent of the Hope students answered the questions In-correctly. The following are a few of the questions asked of the Japanese students and the results:

Question 1: Who is the president of the United States? Ninty-seven answered Reagan.

Question 2: What is the capital of the USA? Ninty-seven percent answered Washington D.C. The other two answers were New York and Los Angeles.

Questions 3: What language is spoken in the United States? All 100 Japanese students answered "English."

Koji was quite concerned about the ap-parent lack of knowledge of the American students. He offered several reasons for our misconceptions. First, the mass media still presents the traditional Japan. Postcards and pictures sent back by our American friends visiting Japan also tend to stress the traditional. Even the Japan Night presentation given by our Meiji Gakuin visitors stresses the traditional rather than the modern. Koji assures us in his report that Japanese students enjoy discos, rock music, tennis, and Levi's as much as we do. They had to practice putting on KIMONOS and the traditional songs and dances much as we In Holland practice the traditional Dutch Dances for Tulip Time. To reduce our misconceptions, Koji suggests to the Japanese: don't stress Japanese old or traditional culture, as In Japan Night. And to the Americans: try to get to know modern Japan, don't depend on obviously old or traditional information, and If possible, visit Japan.

Anyone interested in going to Meijl Gakuin University in Tokyo, Japan should contact Dr. Neal Sobania at the In-ternational Relations Office on Columbia. This is a five week trip during May and June Term worth five credit hours. Students will study Japanese culture, traditions, language, and social and economic issues in modern Japan. The cost last year was approximately $2500. More information will be available at the aegtaningof next semester.

Recap: the fate of flight 007 by Walter Avis By now you've heard that a Korean

Airlines Boeing 747 was destroyed by a missile from a Russian jet. You've also listened to reactionary comments rang-ing from "should we nuke Moscow now or la ter?" to "Plane, what plane?" If you are one of the many who has reduced his news reading time to a quick glance at the newspaper headlines, read on. The following is a brief summary of the disaster. Information sources include, The Detroit Free Press, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal.

On Wednesday, August 31st, at approx-imately 2:30 PM EST, a KAL Boeing 747 enroute from New York to Seoul, Korea was shot by a heat-seeking missile fired from a Soviet SV-IS jet fighter. 269 passengers and crew were killed in-cluding 52 Americans. The plane had just refueled in Anchorage, Alaska. From this point it left for Seoul, but for some yet undetermined reason, the plane strayed wide off course and flew over the Kom-chatka Peninsula. The peninsula houses Russian armed nuclear submarines as well as a nuclear missile testing base. Soon thereafter, the Soviet jet put an end

to flight 007. The Soviets initial reaction was to completely deny shooting the Boe-ing. They claimed that as the plane penetrated Soviet air space, ten fighters were launched in an attempt to divert the plane out of the area. One of the fighters closest to the KAL fired "warning shots and tracer bullets." Ignoring the warn-ing, the plane flew on course for another ten minutes, then left the Soviet zone, never to be heard from again. That was the first story.

Few, if any nations, believed the Rus-sians were telling the truth. Then on September 7th, possibly due to increasing pressure for a better explanation, the Soviets admitted to shooting the plane. They argued that it was their "duty" to defend their security from what they in-terpreted as a disguised spying mission.

Further confirmation of what actually happened came from a taped conversa-tion between the two pilots closest to the KAL. It became apparent that the jets had fired warning shots and then received orders from officials on the ground to destroy the plane.

The U.S. reaction was one of restrained

Cornerstone Ministries Is an activity center for Holland youth.

courage. President Reagan and leaders of other nations angrily denounced the Soviet action but the final measures of retaliation were fairly passive. U.S. sanc-tions Include: severence of all ties with the Soviet airline, Aeroflot; cancellation of a U.S.-Soviet transportation agree-ment; denial of the right of Aeroflot to land anywhere in the U.S., and the dissolving of the Consulate In Kiev and the Russians Counterpart In New York.

The Soviet Union staunchly adheres to Its claim that flight 007 was on a U.S. spy-ing mission and that they had every right to end its flight. Firmly denying anything of the sort, the U.S. believes the Soviets committed a gross violation of moral con-duct and that they must apologize and pay the surviving kin of the 269 killed.

To start the evening off, Dave Vanderwel opened with prayer. After which, Dave Van Dyke, serving as M.C., proceeded to introduce the acts. They were (in order of appearance):

The Fun Boy Four--"Be True to Your School"

(Best Choreography) Voorhees Hall-—"What a Difference

(Honorable Mention) As well as the participating acts, the

Residential Life Staff also took an active part in the event. It gave its rendition of "This Little Light of Mine", revivalist style and proceeded to encore per-

formance of "Mr. Postman". Dale Austin, Lamont Dirkse, Wanda Greene, Bruce Johnson, Steve Renz, Sara Schmidt, Steve Smalligan, Chaplain Van Heest, and Dave Vanderwel were definet-ly crowd pleasers.

The All College Sing, judged by Liz Sobania and Chuck Greene, was an overall success. It supplied fun, enter tainment, and something to do on a Fri-day night.

The Pull: A tradition carries on

by Terri Herman Since 1897, Hope College has been for-

tunate to have one of the most unique sporting events In the country, The Pull.

The Pull is a yearly tug-of-war between the freshmen and sophomore classes. Each side has a team of men and women from its class. The men serve as pullers and the women as morale girls. These basic concepts developed in 1897 and have been practiced ever since. However, things were different for the Pull teams of those earlier years.

During the early Pull years, every stu-dent was invited to participate and most did. Today, we have carefully selected teams that go through rigorous training before becoming part of a Pull team. Previously, the losers had to wear beanies-a tradition that has been discarded over the years (thankfully!).

One might wonder why the Pull has lasted for so many years. It is not solely by virtue of the fact that it is a tradition, for traditions sometimes die. The Pull has also survived criticism from those who cannot understand exactly what it represents. But here is the key to its sur-vival. It is what the Pull symbolizes that has kept it alive for eighty-six years. For in essence, the Pull reflects the strength of Hope College.

Each member of a Pull team is strongly motivated. It is a motivation from the heart and soul; not a selfish motivation, but rather a desire to glorify his team, class, and school. We as students, ap-preciate this motivation because it is one that drives each of us.

This motivation drives the PU11 teams to work long hard hours with unwavering

We jiave come a long way in the past eighty-six years. We now use specially dug pits, well-trained teams, a precise series of calls, exercise rules and time limits, and injury is carefully guarded against.

determination. The Pull promotes their desire to succeed by doing their best.

Pull teams must sacrifice. They accept sacrifices of time, body, and mind because they know that in order to reach a goal, one must sacrifice a part of himself somewhere along the way.

Emphasizing family, Pull teams grow together during the three weeks of train-ing. They laugh, cry, eat, celebrate and agonize together. Members of a Pull team become not only friends, but brothers and s i s t e r s .

And so, It hardly seems that there is any question left to answer. Why has the Pull survived eighty-six years of change and criticism? The Pull reminds each of us what we are and what we can do. The Pull strengthens the college community.

The Pull will take place tomorrow at 4 : 8 6 a t t h e B l a c k R i v e r .

Field hockey gains victory

Hope Field Hockey. (Photo by Steve Bosch)

by Scott "John" Watson Despite a disappointing finish in the

GLCA nearly two weeks ago, the field hockey team has turned its fortunes around with games against Olivet, Calvin and University of Wisconsin-Stevens Points. This Saturday at 11 AM it will meet Alma, who is tied for the league lead, at Buys Athletic Field.

The turn around was apparent in the defense of the Olivet game, as the Hope defense allowed no shots, thanks to im-proved play by Junior Karen Smith and senior Gwen Gerkey. The offense also began to show signs of improved play as senior Captain Mary Gaffney scored the first goal of the game early in the first half. Later in that half, sophomore An-nette "E.T.' VanEngen, tallied to make the score 2-0, giving the Dutch its first win on the 1983 season.

The Dutch continued to show a great deal of improvement as it took on arch rival Calvin College. Despite a soaked field, high winds, and intermittant rain, the Dutch fought hard throughout the first half, but were unable to score despite numerous shots by Gaffney, VanEngen and junior Melanie Waite.

Goalie, Beth Beachum, showed a lot a saavy as she fended off a number of Calvin shots while allowing only one dur-ing the first half. In the second half the Dutch got its only goal when Mary Geff-ney found the cage.

Both of the overtime periods were for naught as the Dutch were forced to settle for a tie, though it had played the better game. •Of course, there was no rest for the

weary and the Dutch were in action again the following morning against Wisconsin-Stevens Point who has a national reputa-tion.

Wisconsin was by far the stronger and more physical of the two teams, but once again the Hope defense was prepared to play. This time freshman Kathy Chandler assisted as Gerkey, Smith and Beachum all had fine days. Tammy Avrit, a junior, was credited with a save, her nineth of the year.

The offense also had a fairly good day, but was unable to place the ball into the goal against the Wisconsin defense. Once again, the Hope field hockey team would have to settle for a tie.

Even though the team was a little disappointed, leaving without a win, both players and Coach Marj Snyder had to be pleased with the noticeable difference in the team.

Several Hope players have made their way into the league leading statistics department. Junior Melanie Waite is tied for the league lead in total number of assists and both Gaffney and VanEngen have two goals (four points) which is among the league's best.

IDuh...Sure Coach by Scott Earl The dumb jock. You see It everywhere.

He's the guy who has a tutor help him figure out what he should say If a reporter asks him how he felt about his per-formance during the competition. She's the girl that buys make-up for the sole purpose of decorating her room (after all, she earned the scars, why not wear them proudly). That's right, you cant't aviod them...unless you come to Hope.

I'm not implying that some of our athletes aren't sometimes Inept to that which Is happening around them, but these are a small minority. I am not say-ing that Hope Is the only school to have beaten this 4,dlsease" either. The fact Is, I 'm just glad that we are a very academic school that puts our sports where they should be...after the grades.

One example of this commendable at-titude is Kurt Brinks. Kur« was the backbone of our football t e a n ' s offense last year, and received the post-season honor of academic All-American. This award is given to those who excell in both sports and academics. For those who think that this is some fluke, think again. This year's starting offense has a cumulative grade point of nearly 3.0, con-siderably over the average of the Hope community as a whole. Even more sur-prising is the number of pre-med students that partclpate In this sport.

As for the women's sports, the same holds true. In speaking with volleyball coach Tanya Shire, she was very Inslstant that her team have much better grades than the Hope average. As one of her players told me, 4<I don't have as much time to do my work, but the time I do have is spent more wisely. The average stu-dent has a lot of free time that is easily wasted."

I feel strongly that Hope College is making sure that student-athletes keep things in perspective. I am also glad that this attitude Is being persued by all col-leges In the NCAA. After all, we should not only support our athletes on the field, but also In the classroom.

Hope soccer undefeated: Alma next by Buck O^Connor * The soccer t e a ^ is back to top form,

and it looks very possible that it could go even farther in post-season play this year. After seven outings, it has come home victorious six times, and tied once. Not only is it leading the league, but it has also moved up to fourth in the region. Tuesday, Hope hosted Kalamazoo, and Friday it will travel to Alma to face the Scots at 3:30.

In league play, Hope has remained undefeated by wins over Adrian, Calvin, Olivet, and Albion. In other action, the same holds true. Hope defeated Grace College, tied Wheaton College in a very grueling game, and came up with an im-pressing win over Michigan State.

The main reason for the success of the Dutch, lies in the fact that there is so much depth. Stefan Schnitzer is the

team's leading scorer, but not a regular starter. Schnitzer tied a record set by alumni Todd Kamstra, as he scored four goals against Olivet this year. Hope also has an over-abundance of players that have become league leaders in goals, penalty kicks, assists, and total points.

Maybe the most important reason tor

Hope's success lies in the hands (literal-ly) of goalie A1 Crothers. Crothers has allowed only four goals, as opposed to 62 saves thus far.

With this kind of depth, Hope soccer fans may be in for a very long and pro-fitable soccer season.

Municipal Stadium. Oberlin was first to draw blood, as it

drove to the one-yard line of Hope. Oberlin's Mark Nunn carried the ball over for the score, but the kick failed, leaving Oberlin with only six points for the effort. The two teams battled it out, but neither team could score for the rest of the first quarter.

The Dutch then obtained possession, and were not long in scoring, as Greg Heeres' 25 yard aerial to Mike Sturm was good for the score. Randy Smith nailed the point after, and the Dutch carried a 7-

leaving the Dutch in the driver's seat, 14-6.

Not much action was to be seen however, until the fourth quarter when the Dutch drove down to the eleven yard line. The drive was capped off when Heeres connected with Dave Van Noord for the touchdown. Smith held true to his form with yet another PAT, and the Dutch led 21-12.

Oberlin shut out the scoring, when Gary Shreve received a beautiful pass from veteran quarterback Dave Bruno for a 50 yard scoring effort. The game ended cheerfully for Hope, as it took the win, 21-12.
