Last Saturday, Aug. 30, at
3:00 a.m., a male Hope student was
assaulted while escorting two fe-
male students home after a party at
14th Street between Fairbanks and
Lincoln. The assailant was described
as a Hispanic male, approximately 5 feet 10 inches, and wearing dark
clothing. A s lowly mov ing veh ic le
pulled up beside the students.
The driver allegedly directed several profanities at the women
and asked them for a light.
" I 'm not sure if he crossed
the line of harassment or not," said
one witness who wished to remain
anonymous.
The girls replied, "We don' t
smoke," and the driver proceeded out of his car and came toward the
girls' escort. According to the police re-
port, the assault was not provoked.
During questioning, the vic-tim could not remember any details
of the incident.
Based on the locations of his
abrasions, police suspect that the
assailant slugged the victim in or near the mouth, causing him to fall
to the ground and hit his head on
the pavement. The victim suffered a cut to
the chin, a concussion, swelling in his neck and temporary nerve dam-
age, causing numbness in his arms, as well as other cuts and bruises.

Poythress plans to 'raise anchor' LAURA MIMAILOFF campusbeat: editor
Looking around Hope's cam-
pus, the number of minority stu-
dents remains small. D. Wes ley P o y t h r e s s has
been appointed as the new director
of multicultural life to correct this
problem. "My goal for this school is to
prepare Hope to raise our anchor—
to m o v e f o r w a r d into the next millenium," Poythress said.
Poythress described his vi-sion for Hope College using an
analogy. 4,It is ironic that the anchor
is the symbol of Hope," he said. "The anchor symbolizes stabiliza-
tion." Hope may be stable in that

changed much over the years. For example, he explained,
when a team of f ishermen have been in the same spot for a long
time, they raise their anchor and
move on to a new spot where the
fish are plentiful. He will oversee the student
minority organizations and work to
increase multicultural understand-
ing across Hope's campus. "I want to make a bridge to
the classroom," Poythress said. The new multicultural life di-
rector plans to work with Hope stu-
dents, staff and faculty to create a more desirable environment for stu-
dents of color. He also will work to
devise strategies to bring in more
students of color and give them a reason to want to stay at the college.
' T h i s isn't an office only for
color," he said. "It's for all students." "Hope has a lot to offer a stu-

One hundred and fifty-

Park I t ^ Added parking still
can't hold all of Hope's
cars close enough to

LAURA MIMAILOFF campusbeat editor
As student enrollment contin-
ues to skyrocket, parking spots re-
main scarce. Last July the decision was
made to make the "freshman only"
parking lots F, Q, S, and W (better known as Siberia) accessible to all
students. In addition, all students,
regardless of their year in school, may now park in any Hope College
lot. 'There were only two or three
parking lots available for freshmen
last year," said Director of Public Safety Duane Terpstra. "Students
got tickets for parking other places
and both students and parents com-
plained." Casey Saggers ( '00) was one
of several who complained to Pub-
lic Safety about the lack of spaces.
"I lived in Dykstra last year
and came home one night to find no
parking spaces in either Siberia lot," she said. "I finally parked in the lot
behind Peale and got a ticket." T h e i s s u e w a s f o r m a l l y
brought up during the middle of last
year and the decision to have all stu-
dent lots accessible to students, re-
gardless of year in school , with parking permits, was decided mid -
summer. Terpstra, Director of Op-
e r a t i o n s and T e c h n o l o g y G r e g Maybury, and Dean of Students Ri-
chard Frost were the three most in-volved in the decision to remove the
designated parking code. According to Terpstra, they
were given two options: they could either restrict parking for all first-
year students or they could convert
the designated parking areas to stu-
dent lots to be shared by all students
with valid permits. "We tried using designated
parking spots at Brumler apartments in the past, but as soon as one per-
son parked in the wrong spot and
another person came home and had to park in another wrong spot, it set
off a whole chain of complaints," Terpstra said. "It was an adminis-
trative nightmare." "It's a big draw that Hope has

Dragonfly makes sc ience f un f o r k ids
Dr. Kathy Winnett-Murray, Asso-
ciate Professor of Biology at Hope,
is making the sciences come alive
for children.
She discovered a way to apply
what she was teaching her two sons
about science to a nat ionwide audi-
ence. Winnett-Murray contributed two
ideas to the Dragonfly project. In
return, the editors invited Winnet t-
Murray to be a regular contributor.
"It was my kids, really, that got
me into it," she said. "I a lways try
to help out with various projects at
school, but this gives me a more le-
gitimate reason for my effor ts ."
Dragonfly is a theme-based sci-
ence journal for upper elementary
and middle school students, teach-
ers, and parents.
"Dragonfly is designed to inspire
children to investigate," said Chris
Myers, Dragonfly editor-in-chief.
The National Science Foundation

magazine to the National Science
Teachers Association one year ago.
T h e NSTA then created Dragonfly,

T h e co l l ege b io logy professor
hopes to make science fun for kids
by making it more hands-on.
O n e of her articles uses an acom

shell." " T h e r e ' s n o t h i n g w r o n g wi th

taught hands-on, that is when chil-
dren really learn," Winnett-Murray

on the myriad forms of ministry
out there. We won ' t all agree.

never heard of a Reformed any-

ever-so-popular, yet pretty cool,
Dr. Robert Schuler in that huge

(that 's a TV) that I was even half-
way famil iar with the Reformed
Church of America.

Due to the growing number of
Catholic students on campus, the
Union of Catholic Students started
meeting again last year after sev-
eral years of recess. This has cre-
ated an opportunity for Catholic stu-
dents to meet as a group on cam-
pus. M e e t i n g s are be ing held on
Thursday nights f rom 8 - 9 p.m. The
first meeting has already passed, but
it is never too late to join. This year,
the organiza t ion is t ry ing a new
schedule.
During the first week of the
month, U C S will meet for singing
and small group prayer. The topic
of the month will be introduced on
the second week of the month with
a Bible study related to that topic
held on the third week. The fourth
week of every month will be set
aside for U C S members to do ser-
vice for the community. This allows
the s tudents to interact with the
people of Holland and feel good
about their role in the community.
T h e off icers are very excited
about this year ' s activities and the
chance to see new faces at UCS.
The officers include: Co-Presidents
Ann Barry ( ' 98 ) and Jon Brickner
( ' 9 9 ) , Sec re t a ry Melyssa Lenon
( '00) , Treasurer Ann-Mar ie Cam-

A WORD FROM THE EDITOR...
New Beginnings With the first two issues of the
Anchor under my belt I feel so much
more relaxed than I did two weeks
ago.
1 have a clearer idea of how my
job works and what exactly 1 am
supposed to do here. At least I think
so. Any and all minor traumas that
c o m e up every day have already
become old hat for me. But, let me
tell you, it was much easier being
Captain Enfuego when I could just
shoot my mouth off and the Big Ed
would be there to catch me. Now I
am that Big Ed and there is no safely
net.
Part of the reason I feel relaxed
is knowing my staff is highly quali-
fied to do their job. Every section
editor is solid and comple te and
lacks nothing.
I have come to realize that the
most important factor of my j o b is
that I cannot do this alone and nei-
ther can my section editors.
Like any other student organiza-
tion this paper is funded by your
Vol. i l l . issue 2
the Anchor
dollars, fed by your ideas and in-
put, and geared toward no one but
you the students. This paper is for
you, by you, and about you. With-
out you there would be no news and
therefore no newspaper . Hence I
would be out of a job.
Get Involved There are so many ways to get
involved in the Anchor at so many
levels. We are always looking for
writers, photographers, cartoonists,
or production people. However you
want to put some help in you can.
It is completely open to all students.
Perhaps the most important way
for you as students to get involved
is to write letters to me, the editor,
and express your opinion on any-
thing f rom how we are doing as a
newspaper, how the faculty is do-
ing, a reaction to an article or col-
umn in the Anchor, whatever.
Feel f ree to contact m e person-
ally to discuss anything you would
like by either stopping me and talk-
ing to me or perhaps calling m e at
the Anchor off ice (x7877) or send-
ing email to A N C H O R .
Glyn Williams
On a personal note I was at Village Inn celebrating a
buddy ' s birthday when I heard the
news that the princess had died last
Saturday night.
I was shocked and at first I didn ' t
believe it. Sure enough, when I got
h o m e I sat in front of the television
e m o t i o n a l l y and phys i ca l l y ex -
hausted, watching closely and lis-
tening carefully to everyone give
their take on the wonderful life that
she led.
Many thoughts ran through my
mind but the most overwhelming
thought was the irony surrounding
the entire situation.
T h e same media that built her up
and m a d e her an international diva
eventual ly g rew tired of her and
began to break her down. Eventu-
ally it killed her both emotionally
and physically.

Editor's note: This is a reprint of
an article that ran in the Aug. 27
issue of the Anchor. Due to print-
ing problems, the bottom section of
the article was cut o f f . T h e Anchor
apologizes for the inconvenience.
While most Hope students were
becoming acclimated to a summer
of w o r k a n d v a c a t i o n , P e t e r
Warburton ( '98) took his own life.
For many, Pete 's death removed the
excitement of a summer away f rom
the classroom and forced those who
k n e w h i m to r e f l e c t u p o n h i s
memory.
Three months later, emotions are
rekindled as his f r iends return to
find a newly injected void in their
life at Hope College. Visions of Pete
smiling and laughing are removed
f rom the mind only by the reality
that his fr iends are unable to have
similar experiences with him in the
future. ' T h e hard part about Pete's death
is that w e can ' t share new m e m o -
ries;' said Chris Potter ( '98), a close
fr iend to Pete. This fact , however,
only serves to strengthen the past
memor ies of Pete and solidify his
importance within the lives of those
he touched.
P e t e w a s a g o o d
friend, good son, good
brother and most im-
portantly good person.
Like many, Pete was
an a v e r a g e s t u d e n t
who was un ique be-
cause he was blessed
with the gift of being
a scholar of people and
personalities.
"Pete knew people"
said Andy Sill ( ' 98) .
He would always take
t ime out to spend time with a fr iend or o f fe r insightful ad-
v ice to anyone w h o needed him
most . "Pete had the great talent of be-
ing a good listener," said Fraternity
brother Ryan Spangler ( '98). "He
was a very genuine person.
T h e hearts and prayers of those
af fected by his loss go out to his
fami ly in the hopes that they are in
some way consoled by the knowl-
edge that Pete was a positive inf lu-
ence in so many lives. Those who
k n e w P e t e w e r e e x -
t r e m e l y f o r t u n a t e to
have been blessed by his
talents and love and will
a l w a y s c h e r i s h t he i r
t ime spent together.
Friends are comforted
by pictures and memo-
ries of Pete which re-
mind them that he will
a lways remain an im-
p o r t a n t p a r t of t he i r
lives. ^ m , Pete has burned a per-P. Warbur ton m a n e n t p l a c e i n t h e
hearts of countless students at Hope
College and will continue to make
those close to him smile for years
to come. Pete is loved by so many and will
be missed more than he knows.

moved and answered the call in an
exhibit Dr. John Wilson of the Art
Department calls "Searching for the
Spir i tual / ' A year ago Wilson embarked
on a quest to find new artists who
were taking people on a spiritual
journey. Many critics had said art
relating to the spirit was dead. Wil-
son found them wrong and discov-
ered many artists who were turning
the invisible into the tangible. De-
cisions were made regarding what
was appropriate to show in the gal-
lery while at the same time keep-
ing art that was truly moving. A year
later, Wilson has a display that, with
due time, becomes very moving.
Through the incorporation of
art and poetry the artists of Wilson's
exhibit venture out on their personal
spiritual journey. Their works have
been broken into five categories in
order to be better understood. The

SPIRITUAL. SAGA: Three artists featured in Dr. John Wilson's exhibit guide viewers to a higher plane. first category is entitled "Imagery three-dimensional objects , repre-
and the Spiritual." It encompasses
a wide range of works addressing
the spirit through a stunning display
of imagery and elaborate symbols.
The second division is called
"Abstract Art and the Spir i tual ."
The expressions in this section tend
to have hidden meanings and subtle
messages. Next are the artists who
found the spirit through nature. This
part is titled "The Land and the
Spiritual." After the landscapes is a cat-
ego ry labe led " O b j e c t s and the
Spiritual." These creations, mostly
sent a relationship either with loved
ones or God Almighty.
T h e f inal section is " H u m a n
Concern and the Spir i tual ." This
section speaks of the pain of the
spirit or the passion of a person.
Each^separate category has its
own icon, or graphic, that is placed
near each work of art pertaining to
it. T h e s e c t i o n s are mixed to-

Shi f t ing gears Despite rocky roads, OPUS plans for a strong year
MIRIAM BEYER in termiss ion ed i to r
If Melissa Herwaldt
{ '98) and Joel Cronkite
, ( '00) have their way,
the student organiza-
tion OPUS and its activities will be
the new buzz on campus this year.
The two are the new leaders of the
group, whose main project is pro-
ducing a campus literary magazine
at the end of each semester, and they
have some big plans for the coming
year. In the pas t c o u p l e of y e a r s
OPUS* presence on c a m p u s has
somewha t t raveled underground .
Fewer and fewer students attended
the "OPUS jams , " open-forum po-
etry readings combined with live
music, and interest in submitting to
the magazine shrunk to a small, de-
voted group of humanit ies majors .
Plus, the Student Appropr ia -
tions Commit tee last year, in reor-
ganizing the budget, severely cut
funding for the Visiting Writers Se-
ries, OPUS ' main event.
J. Cronkite
Aware of these menacing cir-
c u m s t a n c e s , H e r w a l d t a n d
Cronkite are dedicated to moving
O P U S out of the dungeon and into
students ' faces. " ' S t r i c t l y an Engl ish ma jo r
thing' is a label we ' ve been slapped
wi th , " Herwald t said. " A n d i t ' s
something we want to change."
In place of the O P U S j a m s
Herwaldt and Cronkite are plan-
ning fewer, more specific events
that will combine the areas of sci-
ence and literature, in order to in-
volve a more diverse group of stu-
dents in the organization.
"We believe there are several
parallels between science and lit-
erature, and w e want to explore
them." Cronki te said. "The pro-
cesses involved in each study are
very similar." They are also starting an in-
t e n s e p a r t n e r s h i p w i th S a r a h
S a m p l e , the o w n e r of Socra te s
Newscenter on 9th St. The product
of t h i s r e l a t i o n s h i p w i l l b e a
weekly, Thursday evening series
held at the cof fee shop. T h e motto
of the series will be "calling all per-
formers ." Herwaldt and Cronkite
hope for an eclectic gathering.
"There are so many ways of
performing the arts that many stu-
dents haven ' t seen," Herwaldt said.
The series is due to begin Sept. 11.
Both leaders, however, stress
that they see nothing wrong with a
"straight reading." In fact, another
piece of their plans includes start-
ing a strictly spoken-word series
entitled "The Almighty Mouth." In the past, the publication of
the O P U S magazine has been the
culminat ing event of the group ' s
activities. This year, however, the
duo hopes to host a few more ma-
jor happenings. One of these will
be a "Mad Hatter 's Experimental
Tea Party" held on Oct. 6, Interna-
tional Mad Hatter Day. The date is
so dubbed due to the fact that all
illustrations of the Mad Hatter por-
tray a tag in the character 's hat la-
beled "10/6." The event will be held
in the Pine Grove and, according to
Herwaldt , will be "a crazy scene
wi th , of c o u r s e , t e a . " She and
Cronkite hope to "bring more books
to life" throughout the year.
The pair also hopes to rejuve-
nate a tradition started at Hope in
the '80s which has since died out.
T h e tradit ion involves host ing a
Beaux Arts Festival, which is basi-
cally a celebration of all the arts.
The event, a giant masquerade ball,
will be held in the spring in the
parking lot of the DePree Building
underneath a huge tent. Herwaldt
and Cronkite are attempting to book
a swing band to play at the event.
"We ' re excited about this pros-
pect because aside from the Student
Activities Committee 's 'Fantasia, '
there are no other formals for inde-
p e n d e n t s on H o p e ' s c a m p u s , "
Herwaldt said. "We want to offer
this event as an additional one."

there. t4It worked out pretty well ," he
said. 441 get this nice rocjjn all to
myself ."
Brandkamp is f rom Staten Is-
land, New York. H e f i rs t heard
about Hope ten years ago through his
pastor Bob Schwander, a native Hol-
lander who sent all f ive of his chil-
dren to Hope. Although Brandkamp
knew he would eventually go to col-
lege, at 21 he didn ' t feel ready to go
to school. 441 still had a lot of growing up to
do," Brandkamp said. 44At 21 my pri-
orities were just really different. I
wanted to get on my feet and sup-
port myself ."
Brandkamp credits his own faith
with giving him the courage to make
such a drastic change in his life. 44I was on a week ' s vacation and
fell asleep while watching this video
tape that was like the Reader's Di-
gest version of hymns. I woke up
with this thought that said 4Give it
all up , " ' Brandkamp said.
T h r o u g h m o n t h s of s t r u g g l e ,
Brandkamp realized that his calling
was to become a minister. 44I first questioned if the thought
was just my imagination " he said. 44But 1 think it had a real spiritual
meaning." To b e c o m e a p a s t o r , h e f i r s t
needed to get an undergraduate edu-
cat ion. B r a n d k a m p knew that the
right place for him was Hope Col-
lege.
44It seemed the logical place to go
if I am called to go into ministry and
the RCA," he said. "Hope College
offers an education that is both spiri-
tually upl i f t ing and academical ly
stretching."
He has found the spiritual foun-
dation of Hope encouraging. 44I love the idea of chapel. It is
great to go to a school that under-
stands your faith," Brandkamp said.
"I especially like the spirit of the
worsh ip — it 's al ive. I love the
bu i ld ing [Dimnen t Chape l ] , and
having chapel in the Pine Grove is a
nice way of airing out worship."

wasn ' t ready for college, he called

grateful that I got in," Brandkamp
said.

Dutch History buff joins Hope faculty T. PADRIC MOORE staff r e p o r t e r
Dr. James C. Kennedy, one of the new additions to
the faculty at Hope, has a real love for history.
"The idea of traveling back in time that history al-
lows people to do is very appealing," Kennedy said.
Regardless of his love for history, he feels the past
should be left as the past. However, Kennedy still likes
to travel back to observe a time where humans are re-
corded and time is " then."
"History is a study of what makes a person unique,
different or peculiar," Kennedy said.
According to Kennedy, it is the "peculiarities of the
past" that interest him. However , after 22 years of be-
ing a student, Kennedy is finally ready to teach the
subject he loves. " I ' m very enthusiastic about coming to Hope and
tickled pink to be teaching Dutch History," Kennedy
said. Kennedy will also be teaching the first sequence of
the Interdisciplinary core course.
" I ' m proud to say that I don ' t have a method of teach-
ing," he said. He likes to combine his classes with lecture and ac-
tive discussion. He believes that all classes should in-
clude clarity, organization, and an interesting twist.
Kennedy grew up in Iowa and spent the beginning
of his life traveling Europe because his mother was
Dutch bom.
After his adventures in Europe, mostly in the Neth-
erlands, Kennedy learned to love biking. He bikes an
average of 400 miles during the summer months.
Kennedy went to Georgetown University in Wash-
ington, D.C. to receive his undergraduate degree in For-
eign Service. <4I was going to go into diplomatic services, but go-
ing to cocktail parties three t imes a week didn ' t appeal
to me," he said.

After his master 's degree, he finally found his pas-
sion in History. "[History is] the only discipline that captivated my
imagination," he said. He then went on to Iowa University to receive his
doctorate in History. Kennedy began his teaching career (for two years)
at Valparaiso University in Valparaiso, Indiana. And
then, there was Hope.
" H o p e ' s a great Chr i s t ian ibera l arts co l l ege , "
Kennedy said, with a warm smile and a hopeful grin

NOELLE W O O D spot l ight ed i to r
Have you ever wondered, won-
dered, wondered, wondered, who,
who, who wrote the book of love?
On Hope ' s campus, the answer
is Philosophy professor Dr. Carol
Simon. " I ' m not Dr. Ruth or Dr. Laura
and I don ' t want to be seen as some
sort of guru on the topic of love,"
she said.
Simon is the author of a book en-
t i t led " T h e D i s c i p l i n e d Hear t :
Love, Destiny and Imaginat ion,"
which was published earlier this
spring by a well known publish-
ing company in Grand Rapids. Her
book examines the nature of genu-
ine human love, and how love af-
fects both who people are and who
they become.
She wrote the book from a Chris-
tian perspective, while also inte-
grating the ideas of classical think-
e rs and c o n t e m p o r a r y ph i l o so -
phers. She felt that in the Christian
tradition, the subject of love had
not been dealt with adequately.
"In the Christian tradition, agape
love is seen as the most important,"
Simon said. "Because of this em-
phasis on unconditional love, the
other types of love are overlooked
or seen as lesser forms."
Simon decided to write a book
on love because she had been do-
ing smaller projects on the topics
that she covers in the book. These
topics include six different types
of love: self love, neighbor love,
fr iendship, romantic love, marital
love and intergender friendships.
To write about the different types
of love , S i m o n used her back-
ground in philosophy. 44The book itself is an extended
conversat ion with both classical
thinkers and con tempora ry phi-
\
Dr. C. Simon l o s o p h e r s S i m o n said.
She enjoyed the process of find-
ing these thoughts of others and
using them with her own.
"I e n j o y e d be ing able to read
good literature," Simon said. "I lis-
tened to the most reliable voices out
there and had that enrich my own
thinking."
She explains that the book is writ-
ten with the general reader in mind
and that it also offers something for
theologians and philosophers.
"People would read this book to
make them think harder on views
of love and friendship," Simon said.
Her book, which has been com-
pared by cri t ics to C.S. Lewis ' s 4 The Four Loves," describes genu-
ine love as seeing oneself, or oth-
ers, as God would want people to
see each other. This genuine form
of love requ i res se l f -d i sc ip l ine ,
which is where the book got its title.
"The undisciplined heart is prone
to whimsical reaction and wishful,
s e l f - i n t e r e s t e d p r o j e c t i o n , " she
writes. "It confuses love with love's
counterfeits: infatuation, manipula-
tion, and sentimentality."
"The Disciplined Heart" can be
found in Baker Book House, Book-
sel lers of Mains t ree t and in the
Hope-Geneva Bookstore.

By the light of the cross As 1 gaze oul onto the
midnight blue sky f rom my
window in Brownstone, I see
the jagged peaks of Hope ' s
buildings that create my
horizon. In particular, my eyes
are drawn to the yellow glowing
cross on Dimnent Chapel .
I first saw this Hope landmark
when I was a f reshman. At the
time, this was because I had the
misfortune of taking a chemistry
night lab.
Although 1 never did learn to
like lab, that cross always
calmed my soul and warmed my
heart after three hours of
titrations and calculations.
Now, as a senior, those little
shining lights have not lost their
magic. They serve as a reminder
of where 1 have c o m e in three
years and what I will take with
me when I leave in May.
Thirty-two-year-old f reshman
John Brandkamp said that he
chose Hope because it is both
"spiritually uplifting and
academically stretching."
1 wonder if he knows just how
right he is. Through a double
major in Chemistry and Psy-
chology and a long line of pre-
med and core courses, my mind
has been more than stretched. It
has been pulled apart, rear-
ranged, and glued back to-
ge ther—many times over. From
now on. all my thoughts and
decisions will be influenced by
my Hope-educated brain.
But this stretching process
will not end here. Medical
school and the world beyond
will have their chance to
expand my mind past the
foundat ions laid at Hope.
As for spiritually uplifting,
the very atmosphere of Hope
College can strengthen the faith
of anyone willing, seeking, or
searching.
I am not necessarily referring
to chapel or Christian student
organizations, although these
can be wonderful opportunit ies
for fel lowship with other
Christians.
Rather, it is through the rich
history of this place, of its
settlers and missionaries, of its
strange traditions, and even of
its generous use of orange
brick, that we have been
handed down this legacy of
Hope. Anyone willing to accept
the legacy and add something
to its dimensions cannot leave
unchanged.
Now the night sky has turned
black, the peaks in my horizon
have disappeared, and only the
crosses remain. When 1 leave
this place and can no longer see
its buildings, I hope the light of
the cross will remain with me
and that the spirit behind it will
continue to grow.
the everyday tensions and conflicts
of college life.
T h e retreat is "a chance to get
away f rom campus and to get to
know other Cathol ics ," said Ann
Barry.
Act ivi t ies include personal re-
flection, prayer, and Bible study in
a beaut i ful secluded area. Non-
Catholics are also welcome to go
and learn more about the Catholic
faith.
A l so on the i r list of p l a n n e d
events is a spaghett i d inner fund
raiser to be held on Friday, Oct. 24
in Mass Auditor ium f rom 6-8 p.m.
Tickets for the d inner are $5 .00
each. "We hope that UCS is a place
that Catholic students can come to
meet other Catholic students and
g row in their fa i th th rough us , "
Brickner said.

in common with a devout Muslim

Byington said. "[Muslims] under-
stand, and have great respect for, re-
ligious devotion."
Besides reaching out to college
students, the two spent time orga-
nizing a basketball camp and teach-
ing English in a local school.
They also visited a remote village
where one missionary is training
residents in basic health care, since
the nearest clinic is over 40 miles
away.
Working with the long-term mis-
sions staff challenged their percep-
tions of missionary life.
"There was such a diversity of
personalities and talents in the mis-
sionaries on the team," Kuiper said.
" B u t they w e r e all j u s t n o r m a l

vinced of how awesome Jesus is."

Rosenbrook fills women's soccer coaching void MIKE ZUIDEMA sports ed i to r
In 1996, Paul Rosenbrook had to
worry about soccer and graduation.
Now that it 's 1997, Rosenbrook
still has to worry about soccer, but
graduation has been taken care of.
Rosenbrook ( '96) was named as
coach of the women ' s soccer pro-
gram, taking over for Stein Slette
who resigned last spring.
A member of the Grand Rapids
Explosion semi-pro soccer team,
Rosenbrook takes over a team that
consists of only one senior.
Leading returners include All-
M 1 A A s e c o n d t e a m m e m b e r
Melody Morscheck ( '99) , and All-
M I A A f i r s t t e a m m e m b e r a n d
M1AA most valuable player, Tina
Gill ( '99) .
The biggest loss to the team was
the graduation of the leading scorer
in H o p e s o c c e r h i s t o r y , T r a c y
Phelps. Phelps graduated hold ing f ive
soccer records, including most ca-
reer goals, points, and assists.
"We ' r e a young team, but expe-
rienced with eleven returning play-
ers," Rosenbrook said. "(Slette) got
us to a great level, and I am ex-
pected to bring them up to that next
level." Last season, the t eam f in ished
with a school-best 9-3 Michigan
Intercollegiate Athletic Association
record, good enough for a third-
place finish. The team was 10-8-1
overall, fol lowing a 0-4-1 start.
With only a few months to pre-
pare fo r the u p c o m i n g s e a s o n ,
Rosenbrook has had to adjust to
new p l a y e r s / n e w coaching , and
new techniques.
"I t 's been a rush, a whir lwind,"
Rosenbrook said. "I have a good
idea what to expect. I don ' t expect
inexperience to be a problem."
Rosenbrook has had little over
three months to prepare himself for
Monday ' s season opener, a 2-1 loss
t o Wheaton College.
T h e lone goal w a s scored by
Annalise Van Wyngarden ( '00).
" I ' v e had a c h a n c e to look at
games f rom last year," Rosenbrook
said. "The most challenging thing
has been trying to put part of the
m e n ' s g a m e i n t o t h e w o m e n ' s
game."
Having experienced players re-
turning to the team, has also aided
the coach in preparing the team for
the season.

" H a v i n g Gi l l a n d G r e t c h e n
Schoon ( ' 99 ) makes things a lot

"No one looks down on me and

LISTEN UP!: New head coach Maureen Odland gives instructions at practice in prepara-tion for their first match in the Mt. Union Tournament, Friday and Saturday.
Flying Dutch begin title defense MIKE ZUIDEMA sports ed i to r
After capturing their first confer-
ence title in ten years, the volley-
ball team will have to attempt a re-
peat under the reign of a new coach.
Maureen Odland has been named
head coach, fol lowing in the steps
of Kar l a Wol t e r s , w h o s t epped
down as the head volleyball coach
but will continue coaching the soft-
ball team.
O d l a n d , a C a n a d i a n c i t i z e n ,
played college volleyball at the Uni-
versity of Victoria, British Colum-
bia, before moving on to receive her
Ph.D. She had also served as an assis-
tant coach at the Un ive r s i t y of
Guelph before coming to Hope.
Odland began looking for a po-
sit ion in the Uni ted Sta tes a f t e r
learning that jobs in Canada con-
sist of coaching or teaching, not
both. She inherits a team that finished
with an 11-1 conference, and 26-6
overall record, including the team's
first conference title in nine years.
"I d idn ' t meet most of the play-
ers until last week," Odland said.
"And I didn ' t know anything about
any of my opponents ."
T h e team does return six starters,
i n c l u d i n g th ree A l l - M I A A f i r s t
team nomineesi in Emily Bakker
( ' 98 ) , Chr i s t i e E d i n g ( ' 9 8 ) , and
H e a t h e r V e l t i n g ( ' 9 9 ) . B e c k y
Schmidt ( '98) was named to the All-
MIAA second team.
' T h e team has to be able to ad-
j u s t q u i c k l y , " O d l a n d s a i d .
"They 've been keen to learn, and
have made it quite clear if they have
a problem with what I 'm doing."
T h e team has exper ienced the
angst associated with playing un-
der a new coach.
"They ' r e getting used to a new
system. They ' r e adjusting and they
ge t f r u s t r a t e d , " O d l a n d sa id .
"They ' re very coachable and each
has a positive to add."
A s a c o l l e g i a n , O d l a n d w a s
named to the all-conference squad
and was chosen as a National All-
S t a r i n 1990.
She also played beach volleyball
professionally in Australia, and has
experience coaching and playing on
numerous club teams.
T h e team will begin their season
Friday, Sept. 5 and Saturday, Sept.
6 at the Mt. Union, Ohio Tourna-
ment. Whi le Odland has had little time
to prepare with her team, she isn't
concerned about the season begin-
ning.
"I t 's not easy, but you do what
you have to. I think 1 know what to
expect," Odland said.
T h e team will also look ahead on
the calendar to Sept. 27 when they
face rival Calvin College.
The rival Knights finished a game
behind the Flying Dutch in the con-
ference, but did earn a bid into the
national tournament, finishing with
a 24-9 record.
Calvin also topped Hope in regu-
lar season matches, 3-1, giving the
team their only league loss.

GET 'EM UP!: Flying Dutchmen football players run through drills during a recent practice in preparation for their first game against Valparaiso, Ind.; Sept 6.
Dutchmen hope for league tit le MIKE Z U I D E M A sports editor
T h e Flying Dutch footba l l team
again enters the season looking to

Albion and cap ture their first con -
fe rence championsh ip since 1987.
To accompl i sh such a fea t , the
team, ranked second in preseason
polls, will have to over th row a top-
ranked Albion team.
Last season ' s squad finished their
campa ign with a 4 -5 overal l mark ,

A s he enters his third year as head
coach, Dean Kreps is wary of look-

" H o p e f u l l y it will m e a n s o m e -

Kreps will look to ba l ance the
running attack of G r a h a m with the
p a s s i n g of s t a r t e r D e a n E s t e v e s

"We would like to be about 60-
40, run to pass , " Kreps said. "We
want the passing percentage to go
up and get that balance . On de fense
w e have a f ew more holes to fi l l ."
A n c h o r i n g the d e f e n s e will be

"We have a good secondary and
