Off-campus permission depends on timeiy application by Carr ie M a p l e s

assoc ia te edi tor

There has been some confusion

on the part of s tuden t s about

apply ing for o f f - c a m p u s housing

permission.

For students who wish to move

off c a m p u s next year, for either

s e m e s t e r , t h e o f f - c a m p u s

appl icat ion will be sent out with

general housing information in mid-

February. This application is due

March 14.

"It 's rea l ly impor t an t that

people apply on time," said Derek

Emerson, director of housing.

S t u d e n t s a p p l y i n g wi th 70

c red i t h o u r s or more will be

automatically receive permission to

move o f f -campus . Then students

who have fewer than 70 hours will

be considered de-pending on the

number of spaces to fill in campus

housing.

"1 don ' t honest ly an t ic ipa te

going below 70. It could, but I try

to be honest with students," said

Emerson.

Because this year's grad-uaung

class is very large and nearly 55

percent live on-campus, there will

be a large number of open spaces in

c ampus hous ing . Accord ing to

E m e r s o n , this will a f f e c t the

number of students with fewer than

70 hours who receive permission.

"Hope is a residential school .

'Hope in the Future' (a p lanning

report) would like to increase this,"

Emerson said. The goal in keeping

s tudents , espec ia l ly upper c lass

students, on-campus is to create a

support communi ty , according the

repor t This sense of communi ty is

thought to be beneficial for first-

year s t uden t s and s o p h o m o r e s

because they can turn to o lder

students for help and advice.

"When you're living on-campus

y o u ' r e pa r t of the c a m p u s

community," said Emerson.

Students with special reasons

for r eques t ing o f f - c a m p u s per-

mission should submit those reason

in wri t ing, said Emerson. If the

reasons are considered valid the

student will be called in to discuss

the s i tuat ion with Emerson and

wi th R i c h a r d Fros t , d e a n of

students.

"Most people who say they

want off for financial reasons don't

show that need," said Emerson. He

commented that some students list

this problem as a reason but have

never applied for financial aid.

Emerson said there will be

some changes in campus housing.

In some apar tments and cot tages

there will be reduct ions because

they arc "overbooked." The overall

percentage of on-campus students

will remain the same.

Education students satisfy many requirements

by Carr ie Maples

a s soc ia t e ed i tor

The educa t ion depar tment .is

one of the larges t on c a m p u s .

There are certification programs at

the elementary and secondary level

along with the special educat ion

program.

"In order to be a teacher there

are certain requirements established

by the s ta te of Mich igan ," said

chairperson of the depar tment . Dr.

Lamont Dirkse. The state requires

a 30-hour academic major or for

elementary certif ication a 36-hour

c o m p o s i t e m a j o r . A 20 -hou r

minor is also required.

Education is considered a pre-

professional program like nursing

or engineering. "The reason," said

Dirkse, "education is considered a

prc-professional program, students

have lo fulfill the requirements for

t e a c h e r t r a i n i n g and t h e s e

requi rements are a lso part iculary

dictated by the state department of

ed-ucation."

These requirements include as

many hours in education as in most

majors. For secondary certification

it is 29 hours while for elementary

it is 34.

The state requires classes in

four specif ic areas: human growth

and deve lopment ; me thodo logy ;

clinical experience; and a class with

h i s t o r i c a l , p h i l o s o p h i c a l or

sociological implications.

"We don't want our people to

jus t h a v e m e t h o d o l o g y , " said

Dirkse. An expertise in a specific

area is desired.

The education department has

an application process unique to prc-

p r o f e s s i o n a l p r o g r a m s . " All

permission to attend the British-

American Drama Acadcmy in

London. Scott Mellema (*92) has

returned home early. With the war

in the Persian Gulf and Saddam

Hussein's threats of a war of

terrorism, Mellema weighed the

possibilities and decided, "better

safe, than sorry."

Mellema, a theatre major, was

attending the Academy as part of a

trial program to provide off-campus

study opportunit ies for Hope

theatre students. According to

Mel lema, on his first day in

London, there was a "huge

demonstration" in Regents Park,

just across from his apartment. "It

was an Arab demonstration about

the Gulf. They were burning

flags," said Mellema. "It made me

jumpy, but I didn't think anything of it.

"I went to see Ms. Saigon. On

my way, I stopped lo ask for

that the U.S. shouldn't be involved

Within about 20 minutes ,

Mel lema said similar incidents

happened twice more, once with a

man shout ing in a language

Mel lema could not understand.

According to Mellema, in all three

ins tances the men appeared Arabian.

Mellema decided it would be best to

"They're trying to be normal , but

According to Mellema, there

were 40 Americans scheduled to

said Mellema. "Some of the

younger people were against it."

The program remains open lo

graduate s c h o o l . For now,

Mellema is taking six hours of

classes at Hope and working part-time.

Said Mellema. "I have nothing

Phelps cooks up contest •WAR WIRE

by Scott A. Kaukonen news editor

Rarely are the words. "This

tastes just like Mom's" heard in

Phelps Cafeteria. But with a home

recipe contest underway. Feb. 28

could be the day when this phrase is uttered.

In an attempt to give students a

chance for input into the food they

eat , the Food Se rv ices , in

con junc t ion with the Student

Congress, has introduced a contest

for home recipes. Food Services is

currently accepting entries and will

continue to do so until February 15.

"Wc wanted to let students have

input into what they're eating, "

said Don Hershey , who is

taking further education classes.

Three evaluations from professors

are required. Candidates for the

d e p a r t m e n t mush ach ieve a

min imum score on the Pre-

professional Skills Test (PPST)

before being accepted.

Upon submitting an app-

lication. cach applicant's folder

comes before the education

department for evaluation. Along

with the professor evaluations.

PPST score and minimum GPA of

2.5. the department evaluated the

candidate on the basis of

responsibility, interpersonal skills,

enthusiasm and genuine interest in

teaching. The application is

of time for an improvement in GPA or PPST.

overseeing the contest for Food

Services.

Up to seven winning dishes

will be selected, including three

main entrees, a desert, a salad, and a

soup. The winning dishes will be

served at dinner on Feb. 28.

According to Hershey, the

judging panel will be made up of

members of Student Congress '

Food Service Committee, managers

and employees of Phelps and Hershey.

The criteria include taste,

acceptability, ease of preparation,

and popularity. Hershey cited that

while some en t r i e s may be

excellent meals, they may not

translate well into bulk cooking.

Ihc winning meals will have to be

prepared for 700 people.

Cost of preparation will be a

factor as well, "if it's a recipe for

lobster," said Hershey. "But if u s

reasonable. Cost is less important

than how it translates into bulk cooking."

If the dishes go over well, there

is the possibility that they could

become a part of the regular meal

plan.

Food Services and the Student

Congress arc looking into prizes,

according to Hershey, though they

have not been finalized.

The idea has been tried with

some success at Calvin. Student

Congress picked up on the idea and

brought the idea to Food Services.

This year approximately 120

s t u d e n t s will r ece ive the i r

certification in one of the three

areas. Those with special education

cer t i f i ca t ion m a j o r e i ther in

learning disabilities or in emotional

impaired studies.

"All students who receive a

certificate in spccial education are

qualified to teach in an elementary

classroom too." Dirkse said.

Four years ago a special

program was started by hiring three

teachers who teach mornings in

public schools and afternoons at

Hope - one in each area

"What makes that such an

interesting program is that they are

on the firing line - teaching in the

schools - then they come here and leach." said Dirkse.

If a student decides during their

first or second year that they want

to go into education they can

usually finish the program in four years," said Dirkse.

Sometimes there are problems

for students who decide later and

they may require an additional

semester. There are occasionally

difficulties getting into education

classes during registration but

Dirkse puts this down to the fact

that "about one-fourth of the

student population is going into education."

The department has 11 full-

time facul ty members and

additional 15 part-time staff members.

National student boycott fails (CPS) - A national student boycott to protest the war never even made it lo the planning stage.

Announced by theNational Student and Youth Campaign for Peace

in the middle East for Jan. 22. the demonstration - in which students

were supposed to stay out of class for a day - was never publicized.

Group organizers now say they'll meet Jan. 27 to discuss if they should try a boycott.

Police break up UCLA sit-in (CPS) - University of California at Los Angeles anti-war students

wanted UCLA to declare a one-day class moratorium as a condition of

giving up a sit-in at the campus administration building. The sit-in was broken up jan. 22 by police.

About 500 University of California at Santa Barbara students also

asked for a one-day class boycou during a Jan. 16 demonstration.

Delegation returns before war (CPS) -- SL Cloud Stale University Minister Linda Gesiing, who led

an intcrfaith delegation of students from various colleges on a last-

minute "peace mission" to Iraq Jan. 10, returned to Minnesota Jan. 22

noting that her group escaped only hours before bombs started to fall on Baghdad Jan. 16.

Clesling and her group of students were hustled out of iraq and into

Jordan just before the Amman airport closed. "We realized we came

back to a country that was going to war." she reports.

'Counter demonstrators'take over (CPS) - As the first week of war wore on, "counter demonstrators"

seemed to lake over campus streets from the anti-war activists who poured out of their rooms when the bombing started.

Crowds ranging from ICQ to 6.000 waved U.S. flags, burned Iraqi

flags, chanted pro-war slogans and played martial music at the

University of Arizona, at Ohio Sale. Cornell and new York universities

as well as at off-campus demonstrations in Indianapolis. San Francisco.

Oklahoma City and New York, among other places.

As members of the U.S.

Reserved Forces, Hope students

-Dave Slates, Kelly Powers and

#Scou Venema have received

military training and could be called

Vn at any time to serve in the Gulf

Dave Slates ('91), 21, is from

'Nilcs , Michigan. He joined the

.Army National Guard two years

ago. He said he decided to join so

'he could be in a unit with his

•father, who has served in the Guard

for 15 years.

Slates belongs to the 1/246

Armored, which trains in Dowagiac.

Michigan. He trains one weekend a

month and two full weeks during

summer. He received basic training

and also learned survival skills.

Kelly Powers ( ^ l ) , 23, is from

Muskegon, Michigan. He is part of

the Individual Ready Reserves of the

Air Force. He said he joined

because he had always wanted to

fly.

Powers entered the U.S. Air

Force Acadcmy in Colorado

Springs, Colorado in 1986, where

he attended for three years. He

learned to fly gliders and single-

engine aircraft, and also learned

basic ground maneuvers. After

attending the Academy, he came lo

Hope, where he is in education.

Scott Venema ('93), 20, is from

Portage, Michigan. He joined the

Michigan Army National Guard

about a year ago because he was

interested in geuing money for his

education. He trained to be a medic

because he wanted a well-rounded

education, Venema received medical

training and is licensed to drive an

ambulance.

None of the three knows for

sure if he will be called up to serve,

but all of them arc ready. Slates said lie first realized he

might be involved in active duly

Several women professor

complain thai not only docs the

also fails lo show any women

"We lake the criticism

seriously," said Northern Michigan

spokesman Mike Clark, bul some

of it, he opined, is "more emotional

than rational."

Nevertheless, Vice President

for Student Affairs Donna Pearrc

announced Jan. 23 that she'll

establish a forum to hear

complaints to decide if changes are

needed and whether they're

technically feasible.

"Wc fell wc did what was right

for this particular university," said a

boggled Fure, who added one of his

goals was to help Northern Mi-

chigan escape its "backwater

image."

"Anything that's dillcrent tails

under scrutiny," Fure said.

It's loo early to tell if the video

will be successlul, Clark said, "but

we think it's going to be."

The apparent milestone in

college videos, which tend be rather

dull, has attracted national attention

to Northern Michigan. ABC,

CNN, Fox Network and the Arts

and Entertainment channel have

expressed interest in the video.

K u w a i t When the war started, he

began to feel "kind of scared" since

he didn't know if he would be sent

or where he would go, but he knew

he was ready. "I feel I was ready

then, and I feel I'm ready now,"

Powers , who is part of the

Ready Reserves, doesn't have a unit

now, bul would be assigned to one

if he were called up. He has mixed

feelings about serving in active

duty but says he is ready to go if

needed.

"I feel an obligation towards my

country bul at ihc same lime I have

obligations here... nobody wants lo

really go over there. . .bul if I'm

called lo serve thai s whal I'll do."

Venema doesn't expect his unii

lo be called any time soon since his

is in the last medical unii in the

stale bul if he is called he will serve

as a medic in ihc front lines.

"I'm not really nervous aboul il

yet. If I gel called up. I'll go, just

like thai...I'm ready."

Because ihcy arc in the

Reserves, Venema and the others

would have to leave school before

ihc end of ihc semester if called up,

bul they would receive a refund

from the school. They could be

stationed in ihc Middle Hast, Europe

or elsewhere.

Slates, Powers and Venema

strongly support the U.S. troops

and hope others do ihe same. They

also commented that those in the

military, like everyone else, long

for peace.

"We want peace more than

anybody," Slates said.

"I'm happy to see a lot of

support," said Venema. He said he

felt a quick strike by the U.S. is the

only way to finally get peace.

The day the war siarted, Slates

and Venema attended a support rally

for the troops, held by the Vietnam

Veterans Administration.

Venema said that in basic

training, he didn't expect thai he

would ever have lo serve in active

duly.

"When 1 joined, the Cold War

was over and everything looked very

good. The chancc of us going into

combat looked very sl im. Now, I

think about ii all the time."

And Slates said, "It's hard going

lo classes with the thought of war

hanging over your head."

All three have friends already in

the Gulf , many of whom they met

in basic training. They said their

o w n f r i e n d s and f a m i l y arc

concerned but supportive.

H o p e s tuden t Sue Abe l is

B m s c H ( & ^ r # l e n s eaiisbaGkl Four Hope dance, theater students tryout; are put on waiting list for summer shows by S h a r o n Roebuck

stafT writer

Four Hope Col lege s tudents

recently received letters informing

them that they were on a waiting

list as possible performer for Busch

Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia.

After seeing an advertisement

for Busch Garden's auditions on the

Dow dance s tud io doo r , Chr i s

Beaslcy ('92), Annette Cseri ('94),

Enid Hutchinson ('92) and James

Hymcs (*92) decided to go for i t

T r a v e l i n g w i t h S t e v e n

lanaconc, a guest dancc instructor

during the fall semester, the group

a r r ived at the U n i v e r s i t y of

Michigan in Ann Arbor where the

auditions were held. Beaslev, Csen

" Three hundred dollars a week in

theatre, for a col lege s tudent is

really good," said Hymes. But they

also added that the experience was

part of the reason, too.

"This is a big national audit ion

where they go to New York and

Dallas. Houston and Chicago and

all over the nation. So, we thought

it'd really be a good experience to

try to audi t ion on the nat ional

level," said Bcasley.

According to Hymes, there was

not a large turnout. "Usually (at)

aud i t ions like that, hundreds of

people go," he said. Hutchinson

c o m p e t e d with only four other

dancers, the rest were either actors

or singers. The reason for the small

The judges were listening for chest

voice not opera, according to Cseri,

w h o was c lass ica l ly t rained in

F r a n k f u r t , G e r m a n y , when she

resided there a few year s ago.

Auditioning is so nerve wracking, or can be It's good to be able to put that aside, to feel relaxed...and just doing it."

and Hymcs mainly audit ioned for

acting parts (with the exception of

Cseri w h o added s inging to her

piece). Hutchinson audi t ioned for

d a n c c , a d d i n g s i n g i n g to her

audit ion also. MI wanted them to

know I could carry a tune," she

said.

When asked what inspired them

to try out for Busch Gardens , all

said that the $300 weekly salary for

per formers was a great incentive.

turnout might be attr ibuted to the

fact that it was Busch Garden's first

time in Ann Arbor.

As for the actual audi t ion

procedures, the actors were put in

by g r o u p s of 10. T h e y each

pe r fo rmed two mono logues they

had prepared themselves.

Hutchinson sang first in her

audition and then danced a one- to

two-minute piece she had prepared.

All four were told r ight af ter

their pe r fo rmance whether they

were to "come back" or not. All

four made call backs. Hutchinson

was one of two dancers to make it.

They waited until 4p .m. for the

second half of auditions where they

w e r e e i ther g iven a sc r ip t to

perform with a partner if they were

ac to r s , or qu ick ly learned and

per formed a dance routine if they

were dancers.

"1 was kind of shocked because,

usual ly, they don't tell you right

away whether they want you in call

backs, they just post a list. Bul this

l ime they told us r ight away , "

Beasley said.

Cser i . who sang an opere t ta

dur ing her audi t ion said, "I was

surpr ised that ( the judges ) were

m o r e in te res ted in my ac t ing ,

ac tual ly . I don' t have ihe act ing

experience that Jim and Chris (do)."

"I just felt like 'this is me, this

is what I have of myself and I'm

going to go in there and do the best

that I can. . . this is it. It's now or

never ' ," said Hutchinson of her

audition.

Hymcs added, "Auditioning is

so nerve- racking , or can be. It's

good to be able lo put that aside, to

feel relaxed about going into the

audi t ion and just do ing it and

feeling good aboul it."

The four awaited the results of

their call backs for at least two

m o n t h s . T h e y r e c e i v e d the i r

answers around the third week of

January and learned that they had all

made the waiting list. The letter

in fo rmed them they were not

se lected for the f irs t team but ,

should a per former get injured or

sick or s imply can not be on the

team, those on the wait ing list

will be rotated up. "I think being

on the reserve list is jus t great ,"

H y m e s sa id , "That says a lot

because I know they see thousands

of people."

When asked whal advice each

would give to potential per formers,

each had words of confidence and

wisdom.

^ e a s l e y : "I think the most

important thing about audit ioning

is the right frame of mind. Theater 's

- * always how good you are, but

•v you look, how you would fit a

rt. T h e r e ' s no point ge t t ing

v o u s or upset.. . that's the way

the g a m e (is) p layed. S o just

smile...and say thanks, I'll be back

next year."

Cseri: "The first few seconds

you're up there, it's very important.

That's the first impression they get.

You have to really have self-esteem

and a very posit ive attitude. You

should audition every occasion you

can get. If you're interested in it

you should do it."

Hutchinson: "If you don't make

it, it's not because you aren't good

enough, it's because they don't need

your specific abilities and/or have a

certain look in mind. Don' t get

d i s cou raged - i f you have the will,

you WILL make it."

Hymes: "It's a hard thing to

do. Usually you have two minutes

to sell yourself -- lo show what you

can do. The more you do it, the

beucr you gel at it. Don't expeel to

gel work at every audition you go

to. You (have) lo remember that

there are ihou-sands of people out

there that look just like you and can

do exactly what you can do. You

just have to hope thai someone out

there will see whal you have, whal

it is that makes you YOU, what

separa tes you f rom those other

thousands."

Guest prof focuses on prophets

by J i l l S a n d o r

s ta f f w r i t e r

Dr. James La Grand, a visiting

professor al Hope , is leaching

Biblical Prophecy and Religion in

Society ihis semester.

La Grand was bom and raised in

Grand Rapids. He attended Calvin

and Yale, and has lived in England,

Nigeria and Switzerland.

La Grand's course in Biblical

Prophesy focuses on the lives and

teachings of the Old Tes tament

prophets. The class is challenged lo

sec how Bib l i ca l p r o p h e s y

cont inues lo be fulf i l led lo the

present.

"I f i n d il e n o r m o u s l y ,

constant ly surpr is ing lo see ihe

immediate relevance of this s tuff ,

and ihe students do loo," La Grand

said.

La Grand noted that the original

meaning of "prophet" in Hebrew is

"herald" or "shoulcr," not a predictor

of future events. The main role of

Ihe prophets was in the moral and

ethical teachings they conveyed to

the people. "Jesus is the prophet par

excellence," he said.

Recently ihe class studied the

prophet Amos and La Grand talked

aboul ihe special relevance of this

prophet for the present day. Amos

spoke a g a i n s l the i n j u s t i c e s

committed by the people and the

atrocity of those who worshiped God

in hypocracy.

"You can't miss the connections

when you read Amos," La Grand

said. "He is the Voice of the Hour."

In Amos 5:24, the prophet

proclaimed, "Lei justice flow like a

s tream, and r ighteousness like a

river." These words were also used

by Martin Luther King Jr. in his '1

have a dream' speech.

La Grand also leaches Religion

in Society. This course looks at the

history and origin of religio.i, and

offers a survey of different types of

r e l i g i o n . T h e f o c u s is on

Christianity and how its teachings

affeel the lives of people today.

The class also studies Islam, a

powerful religion wilh a far-reaching

effect in the world today. La Grand

said that the study of Islam is

especially relevant for today because

of the events in the Middle East and

because of the widespread prejudices

against Muslims.

La Grand makes his students

aware that religious forces do not

always function for good, as shown

by the Spanish Inquisition and the

Islamic Jihad. But he emphasizes

that religion is a powerful and vital

force in ihe world today.

"Religion is a much bigger

force than is usually acknowledged

in the news media. You hardly ever

see references in detail lo religious

observances in newspapers . You

hardly even know if senators are

Catholic or Muslim or Jewish," said

La Grand.

La Grand is very pleased with

student response in his classes. "I

am impressed with Hope students.

They seem very ready lo listen and

learn, and ready lo reevaluate their

initial pos i t ion . . . . Somet imes I

learn as much from my students as

they learn from me."

La Grand a t tended Calvin

College, where he worked as editor

of 'Chimes,' the college newspaper.

He attended Hope's Vienna Summer

S c h o o l p r o g r a m , h i s f i r s t

involvement wilh Hope.

La Grand did graduate work al

the University of Michigan and got

his Master of Divinity from Yale

University. He received his doctorate

in Basel, Switzerland.

La Grand was ordained as a

minis te r al G a r f i e l d Chr i s t i an

Reformed Church in Chicago. He

spenl five years working in the inner

city, an experience that made a deep

impression on him.

La Grand also taught for two

years at Saint Paul's College, Zairia,

Nigeria.

Student Congress railroads activities fee increase

Il docsn'l seem like much. In facl il's jusi S4 dollars. Bul ihe

method behind ihe Sludenl Congress ' suggesting lo ihc Board of

Trustees thai the student activity fee be raised was nothing short of a

ripoff. (See story, Page 1.)

Certainly, the student body should be outraged at this most recent

example of flippant behavior.

In the first place, the proposal was railroaded through Student

Congress, ignoring all standard democratic practices. Put on the

agenda, discussed and voted upon all in one meeting. Cabinet member

and Comptroller James O'Neil "can't remember" if anyone outside the

Cabinet even knew about the proposal before the meeting. Brad

Votava, president, said only Student Activities Director Anne Bakker-Gras knew.

Student Congress representatives certainly didn't know -- the item

appeared on the agenda that was handed out when they arrived at the

meeting. Obviously, then, such a procedure made it impossible for

representatives to ask the student body for a reaction to the increase.

And it wasn't the case wherein this was the first meeting of the

year in which the proposal could have been introduced. Instead, the

Cabinet members and representatives spent the previous week's meeting

testing the food service's pizza quality.

Secondly, Student Congress can't legitimately say that they need

the money. As of this semester, they had a budget surplus of 326,000.

Of that money, $1,750 went to three of the new groups. (Two,

FETA and ACERT. have not yet received funding.) Another $1,650

went lo WTHS and $2,500 went towards the anchor's new computer

system. That totals $5,900.

That means Student Congress is currently sitting on $20,! 00.

Rather than be fiscally responsible, Congress is planning to blow

the money at the end of the year. Cabinet members are saying they

expect to spend the surplus on a May Day concert -- an estimated $9,000 to $10,000.

Thirdly, rarely does a group of public officials arrive at such

skewed conclusions about their motives. Purportedly, the increase will

merely "keep up with inflation." If this is the case, how does

Congress expect to cover any new funding, much less any increased

demands from current groups? Additionally, the funding is tied to the

number of students. If. as O'Neil suggested, the trend is toward lower

enrollments, why didn't the organization ask for a larger increase? Then

il was reported that the Board of Trustees initialed the increase. They

didn't. They merely passed what the Student Congress asked them to approve.

After running an election which couldn't be verified as

legitimate, after being accused of sexism, one wonders just how

cognizant the members of the Cabinet are of the student body and of

appropriate behavior as elected officials.

Undoubtedly, the representatives who sit on the Congress should

have refused to vote on the measure until they had time to contact their constituents.

But wilh such recurring, blatant disregard for proper procedure, it is

t ime for some overs ight of the Cabinet to be included in the, constitution. Several level-headed representatives should be appointed

lo executive committee positions, requiring them to participate in all Cabinet decision-making activities.

All levels of government have procedures to check on public

officials, eliminating their ability to wreak havoc on the people they

serve. It is lime for such a check to be placed on Hope's Cabinet -

before they again pass off phony goods to the student body.

Letters to the Editor

anchor review needs greater depth Dear Editor,

This letter is in response lo

Scott A. Kaukonen's article. "Arab,

American cultures clash in movie."

Whi le I am not de fend ing nor

condoning the harsh treatmeni thai

the woman (and her child) in the

movie received, I have several

problems with the article. First of

all, the author simply makes the

statement that "it is not an anti-

Arab movie" and does not say why

it isn't. I would agree with his

content ion that the movie "Not

Without My Daughter" is not an

anti-Arab movie in the technical

sense. I say this because Iranians

are not Arabs. However. I can see

why Arabs and Arab-Amcricans

would be concerned with this movie

because, like the author of the

article, most people do not realize

that there is a difference between

Arabs and Iranians. However, I

would characterize this an anti-

Iranian movie and as such, the

viewer must beware - of the kinds

of stereotypes our movies and our

media portray aboul other cultures,

r e l i g i o n s and o the r p e o p l e s .

Kaukonen notes that the main

Iranian character in the movie

"never develops beyond a one-

d i m e n s i o n a l c h a r a c t e r . " As

thinking people, we must question

why the first major movie released

in America portraying an Iranian

person p resen t s him as "one-

d i m e n s i o n a l " and e s s e n t i a l l y ,

stereotyped.

I am concerned abou l the

notions of Islam, and of Arabs and

Iranians that this movie engenders

in many minds. As people whose

government is involved in a war in

the Middle East -- now -- of all

times - we must be careful to seek

out the whole truth about the

Middle East and must not let

ourselves be misled by visions on the big screen.

Respectfully submiued,

David Corey ( ^ l )

t e s t a g e to p lay o n e of

C rislensen's original songs called

"Or Not." For the Quanel ' s hour

fluglc horn and a trumpet. Shea lit

up the p iano and Elgin Vines

jammed on the bass. Paul Smith

rounded out the Quartet on the

drums.

Quartet had only played together on

lhe first two songs which they had

played at the recording studio in

ft'and Rapids where Thompson is

preparing a compac t disc called

"Parallels." Chnsiensen contribuled

some saxophone tracks for the disc

during the weekend.

The lack of practice together on

the songs lent a spontaneity to the

free performance. All the members

seemed to be thoroughly enjoying

themselves.

Shea played the piano with an

intensity and a joy lhat set ihe tone

for the Quartet's entire performance.

caught onto Shea's fun.

A highpoint of the sel was

just j ammed and allernaied solos

with cach Quartet member.

MacDowell docs a good job playing

Hope survives Hennink aerial attack by Kochelle Anderson

Scott A. Kaukonen

A number of streaks camc lo

an end lasi Wednesday nighl as lhe

Flying Dutchmen, in overt ime,

edged lhe Calvin Knights, 94-89, in

a batile of lhe ninih- and (hird-

^ anked teams according to lhe

NCAA Division III Coaches' Poll.

Bul noi before lhe Dutchmen nearly let ii gel away.

The game seemed pul away

•viih jus i over nine minu tes

remaining and Hope ahead by 17.

Even when Eric Elliotl ( '91)

stepped lo lhe line with 12 seconds

remaining in regulation lime, and

sunk iwo free throws lo pul Hope

up by three, things seemed in the bag.

Bul Calvin, which had charged

furiously from behind on the

strength of ILS three-point shooting,

found room for one more momeni of heroics.

Memories of last years Hope-

Calvin game number 2. flooded the

minds of all fans as Todd Hennink

of Calvin nailed a three-pointer

with five seconds to go. lying the game at 81.

"How do you explain the game

being tied al the end?" asked Hope

Coach Glenn Van Wieren. "One

name-Hennink."

Van Wieren had nothing bul

praise for Calvin guard Todd

Hennink. who put on one of the

finest displays of clutch three-point

shooting that has been seen.

Hennink hit eight threes for the

game, including seven in the second

half and six in a row. He hit three

triples in the last 35 seconds of

regulation to send the game into

ove r t ime and p o s t p o n e the outcome.

His shots were not open shots

either. He shot from several feet

behind the line with Jon Joffe ('92)

in his face, off balancc, geuing

knocked to the ground, and usually

a combination of the above.

"Everyone knew he would

shoot (the last shot).' ' said Van

Wieren, "and we still couldn't slop

him. He's an unbelievable guy.

Next time we'll havc lo put three guys on him."

Hope held a 17-poini lead wilh

9:14 remaining in regulation. Wade

Gugino had come up big for Hope

by posting strong to the basket and

putting Steve Hondard in foul trouble.

„ Gugino who had found himself

in early foul trouble for other

Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic

Association (M1AA) games, played cautiously early on.

"I figured it would be worth it

(lo give up early points) to be there

in the end." said Gugino.

The key lo lhe win, according

lo Van Wieren, was not a panicular

strategy. ' Ihcy sal for 30 seconds

quietly after regulation," said Van

Wieren. "The key was to go oul in

overtime and gel the fist basket."

Elliott said, "We didn't want

the same thing to happen as last year."

Hope jumped lo the lead early

in overtime and this time there was

lo be no Hennink heroics. Gugino

scored six and Elliotl added the final

four free throws as Hope broke

Calvin's 29-game home, 17-game

conference and six versus Hope winning streak.

The victory was especially

sweet for the Dutchmen (18-1,7-0

MIAA) who lost three limes lo

Calvin (17-2, 6-1 MIAA) last year,

including two at the buzzer and

once in the NCAA Division III playoffs.

The Dutchmen earned only

their seventh victory in 28 tries at

Knollcrest in front of over 4,500

fans, including 300 Dutchmen faithful.

Gugino led the team in scoring

with 27, while Elliott added 25 of

his own, surpassing the 1500 carecr

point barrier.

Elliott was named the MIAA

Player of the Week for the second

time this year and for the fourth

time in his career. Colly Carlson

('92) put in 15 of his own while

dishing out eight assists.

"Wc have veterans in Gugino,

Elliott, and Carlson." said Van

Wieren. "They are patient and persistent."

"The sign of the game,"

commented Van Wieren, "was that

we had a 17-point lead at

Knollcrest They came back, but we

held them. We responded with vigor and focus,"

For certain people this rivalry

may seem a bit eccentric at first.

First-year or transfer students might

not have the feel for the

significance of the accomplishment.

Joffe, a transfer, did not think he

was one of those people.

"The team rubbed off on me"

said Joffe. "they got me excited and

that got me into the game."

Last week's Hope-Calvin game

added but another chapter to the

story of what Van Wieren called.

"The greaiest Division III rivalry in America today."

Flying Dutch drop game to Calvin by Dan C o m b s

s taf f w r i t e r

The Hope College women's

basketball team suffered its first

home loss of the season last

Wednesday, at the Dow Center,

losing to MIAA foe, Calvin, 57-53.

The Flying Dutch were plagued

by poor shooting, especially in the

second half. Hope only made 8 out

of 33 shots , for a shoot ing

percentage of 24 percent. For the

game, the Dutch shot 31 percent,

making only 19 out of 62 shots.

Hope Coach Sue Wise said,"I

just felt like we were a little out of

sync. I felt a little bit like where

we started the first week of the season."

"Our offense wasn't in sync and

I think that's throwing the kids' shots off."

Hope look a 24-21 half time

lead into the locker room, but came

out flat in the second half. It took

the Flying Dutch over five minutes

to score a field goal. The team only

made two field goals in the first 13

minutes of the second half.

Despite the poor shooting,

Hope was able to remain closc to

lhe Knights i the second half. They

made 10 oul of 11 free throws in

the span when they only made tow

field goals. In that same amount of

time, Hope's defense held Calvin lo ^nly 18 points.

The Flying Dutch had a 40-39

lead with 7:03 remaining. Then

Calvin's Sarah Ondersma ('91)

stepped forward. Ondersma made

three straight steals and convened

them into six points. Calvin then

has a 4 8 4 0 lead and never trailed for

the rest of the game.

Calvin Coach Don Vison said,

"Sarah is vcry good at jumping into

pass lanes. That's her specialty."

Vison added, "Those three

buckets she (Ondersma) had were the difference. We kind of held that margin."

Coach Vison said that the win

was a big boost," From the point of

the final result it was a great big

win for us. I didn't count on this

one because Hope is a tough team."

Ondersma led all scorers with

16 points. She also had 8 steals.

One more than the entire Flying
