"Pig" Needs Work by Alister L. Majestik Hope College has a boat. Sort of. The "Hope 1". nicknamed the

In recent years not enough students have expressed interest in running for a representat ive position on Student Congress. This year though, response has been encouraging throughout campus.

The largest turnouts were from Kollen with 11 people running, Phelps with five running and Dykstra with seven people runn-ing. Out of this group the five representat ives f rom Kollen, the two from Phelps and the four from Dvkstra will be determin-ed.

Once elected to the Student Congress the 30 new members will be responsible for holding positions on various governing boards and committees. These boards are also comprised of not only students but a correspon-ding number of faculty members and administrat ive personnel.

Anchor Editorial... Elections:

A Continuing Story by Gregory S. Olgers Voting for the eleven disputed seats on the Student Congress-those of Dykstra.

Kollen, and Phelps Halls-continucs throughout lunch and dinner today. Of the thirty available seats, only eleven are in dispute. The other nineteen, by

virtue of the number of petitions submitted, will be filled automatically. This means that sixty-three percent of the Student Congress (not counting its

three officers) will consist of students who were not elected by their peers. This is not to criticize those persons who displayed enough interest to file a peti-

tion; they are to be commended. This is not to find fault with the 2,500 students who failed to file petitions-we might decry their apathy, but the time for that is past. This is simply to remind the residents of Dykstra, Kollen, and Phelps Halls that they alone of the members of the student body will have the opportunity to select their representalives--and they are encouraged to do so.

The voting process is quite simple: each student need only approach one of the voting tables (which are standing adjacent to each of the two entrances to the cafeteria) and identify which of the three residence halls concerned they live in. They will then be asked to present their student ID (which will be stamped to mark them as having voted) and make their selections. The time required by this pro-cess is about two minutes-three if there is a line.

Although it is often difficult to see the bearing that the Student Congress and its members has on our lives, that bearing does exist. They are active in the ad-ministrative boards of the college; they make decisions that effect us all; they determine-for us-some of the directions Hope College will be taking in both this coming year and future years.

The students living in Dykstra, Kollen, and Phelps Halls will have the opportuni-ty at lunch and dinner today to select the persons that shall be making those deci-sions for the entire Hope community. ' v

Send Your Cod fish to Cambodia by Bob Clifford

. Pardon me for asking, but doesn't anyone care about anything more consequential than whether to wear Argyle socks with their Penny Loafers or if the cafeteria has devis-ed some new and wicked way to serve the cod fish that's sometimes gone but never forgotten? Apathy and provincialism are taking over the campus. I don't mean to say con-cern for the fish is without warrant. Heaven forbid! Even the most preoc-cupied student with a head cold knows ten minutes before they leave their dorm that some curious varia-tion on the cod casserole theme awaits them at Phelps Hall. As you well know, that overwhelming urge to hold your nose and run (not walk) ti the nearest Burger King is an all

too frequent occurence. 1 myself sub-sribe to the theory that some budget oriented person in the food service department was made an incredible offer from a crupulous traveling fish saleman. He was suave and charm-ing. In less time than it takes to fillet a flopping flounder, Hope College was the proud owner of sic hundred and fifty five thousand pounds of Pre-Civil Warcod fish.

While some are concerned with matters of digestion, Muffy and Biff are busy keeping up with the Jones (or is it Calvin Klein?). Fashion is one way we show our individuality (or lack of it). Far be it from me to suggest that our appearance is unim-portant. I just think there might be other topics of concern after we've selected the perfect ensemble for fal

Defense of Moderation

moderates, but most of them are l ibe ra l s . They say they a rc mainstream; in fact, they are a tiny trickle where once a mighty river flowed.

At the Republican convention, the Jacob Javits-John Lindsay wing of the party struggled to find its identi-ty. Congressman Jim Leach of Iowa, chairman of the so-called Republican Mainstream Committee, announced that the RMC will hold a national con-vention in 1986 to prepare an agenda for the 1988 campaign, when the direction of the pst-Reagan GOP will be decided. Unless a lot more people join Leach's organization between now and then, he'll have little trouble finding a hall big enough for the con-vention.

So far, the RMC includes Con-gresswoman Claudine Schneider of Rhode Island, former GOP Chair-man Mary Louise Smith, and former GOP Co-Chairman Mary Crisp.

died from some grizzly, unspeakable vative Christians out of politics. He horror? Let me reassure you that complained recently that "What we none of t t tSe things are true. In fact, used to regard as the John Birch most Student Congressmen even graduate. What separates them from the rest of the flock is a concern for what is going on around them. Some of them may have run for office for the sole purpose of trying to get the cafeteria to donate their supply of cod figh to a worthy charity. The fact that they were concerned enough to get involved is the important thing. >

Obviously the stories of Muffy. 'Biff, and cod fish casserole are slightly exaggerated. Hopefully they made you think about other concerns you might have. Perhaps you think the library Should be open 24 hours a day during mid-terms atid finals. Or if you live in a residence hall that also houses a fraternity, you feel the five dollar activity fee that goes to the Head Residents, should be turned over to the fraternity so they can use it for special activities. These are my ideas. Pm sure you'll have others.

Running for the Student Congress is only one way to get such opinions heard. Join a club on campus; write a letter to the editor; send your con-gressman a note; or send yesterday^ turkey surprise to Cambodia. Don't be a vegetable! Until we get involv-ed, Hope is Just the college we attend, and America is Just the placeAve live.

: Don't be satisfied with that. Make it your college and your country.

lunatic fringe has become a driving force in the Republican Party."

When the RMC put on a stage show in Dallas, using well-known TV ac-tors Richard Masur ("One Day at a Time") and Barbara Bosson ("Hill Street Blues") only two or three alternate delegates were present. The audience consisted mostly of reporters eager to see a satirical put-down of Ronald Reagn. and that's what they got.

The play depicts the President as a senile old fool. He brings the earth to the verge of nuclear destruction because he won't talk to Chernenko without insulting him. As the war ap-proaches, "Reagan" says, "We've spent trillions on these (bombs). The only way to get our money's worth is to use them." A nuclear holocaust, he says, "will wipe out the national debt", "encourage prayer", and "add billions and billions of acres to our national wilderness lands."

Zimmerman, the author of the play, said, "Conservatives have been claiming that there aren'y enough moderate Republicans to fill an elevator. We proved them wrong. We filled two."

And a lack of troops is not the RMC's only problem in its battle for the future of the GOP. As Con-gressman Leach admitted, "The far-ther right wing has been the idea-g e n e r a t i n g e l e m e n t of t h e Republican Party in the last few decades. We've let our philosophical house get out of order." He said "moderates" have practiced "a knee-jerk in-betweenism."

The in-betweeners' problem is this: If the Republican Party is to become the majority parly, it must include in its ranks millions of blue-co l la r w o r k e r s . S o u t h e r n e r s , "ethnic" Americans, and others to whom the so-called moderates have little* appeal. Because most of the Democratic and independent groups outside the GOP believe strongly in traditional American values, any ef-fort to bring them into the party will be labelled "right-wing" by the na-tional news media. The RMC types can win only if the Republican Party loses.

Leaders Meet Earlham Professor Visiting by James TeKerk The leaders of twenty of Hope's

student organizations met for dinner at Point West last Friday evening for the start of a multi-part leadership seminar.

According to Sue Langejans, Director of Student Activities and organizer of the seminar, the evening was designed "to be motivational for student leaders...to give them a base of experience; to make them feel bet-ter prepared for the year...(and) to develop relationships with other stu-dent leaders."

Following the dinner, the activities began with a discussion of methods of "Creative Leadership" by Bob Stoll, Director of Student Activities for Grand Valley State College. Stoll presented some Important motiva-tional factors highlighting as essen-tial growth, recognition, achieve-ment. participationrand enjoyment.

Later, the leaders of the organiza-tions present; which included SAC. Black Coalition, most of Hope's fraternities and sororities. Student

Congress, and Women's Issues; divided into discussion groups and worked on solving four hypothetical problems.

Included among the situations which they were, faced with were a leader-group conflict, a group-individual conflict, a noise com-plaint, and a press slander case. Each problem possessed certain con-ditions which made it unique, and demanded a different approach in its solution.

Finally, the leaders of three of Hope's student organizations - the Anchor, the Milestone, and WTHS -discussed ways in which their own organizations are overcoming recent adversity - adversity ranging from a local failure of student interest to legal problems beyond the Hope com-munity.

On the success of the evening. Langejans commented, "1 thought that the student leaders came away with a little more knowledge (and) did build new relationships. It was a good start for the year."

This student was obviously not aquainted with the Impact of such an even t - t ha t everyone would know if it had happened. The news coverage would have been enormous. This student needs to join GAO. -

GAO goals are to respond to and genera te interest in global affa i rs and become a w a r e of the directions the world is taking to-day. Tentatively, this yea r ' s theme for GAO is South Africa and its apartheid sys tem.

An organizational meet ing is s c h e d u l e d f o r T h u r s d a y , September 13 in the Ha worth Room. Please bring your dinner tray at 5:30 p.m. The meet ing will last an hour or less. P lease come, evervone is welcome!

For mos t people, the t e rm vacation means a break f rom busy, routine schedules by relax-ing along the seashore beneath the sunny sky. To other folks, a recess is a tour through the Grand Canyon. However, Dr. Gerald Bakker is spending his vacation grading tests, giving l e c t u r e s , w o r k i n g on ex-periments , and enjoying his t ime teaching at Hope.

Actually, Dr. Bakker is on a year-long sabbat ical leave f rom his duties as a chemis t ry pro-

fessor at E a r l h a m College in Richmond, Indiana, where he has taught since 1959.

Ent iced by the reputat ion of Hope's chemis t ry depa r tmen t , Dr. Bakker is spending this semes te r instruct ing Chemis t ry 105 (non-major) , Chemis t ry 221, and Chemistry 255 classes.

During the second semes te r . Dr. Bakker , who g radua t ed f rom Calvin College in 1955 and ea rned his Ph.D. at the Universi ty of Il-linois in 1959, is going to devote his t ime and effort to work on

several chemica l exper iments . Aside form his duties as a pro-

fessor, Dr. Bakker enjoys spen-ding his spare - t ime windsurfing, running, and is also interested in philosophy.

H a v i n g e n j o y e d the pas t several weeks of his assignment at Hope, Dr. Bakker is looking forward to the remain ing period with his s tudents .

" T h e r e a re a couple of good classes of fine s tudents ," stated Dr. Bakker .

Ohostbusters Storm Hope by Jazz VanKlompen The ad was not a hoax. The

Hope Ghostbusters a re in action. In the pas t week they have in-

vestigated everything from the possession of "Boo Boo Teddy" to burping carpets , using their "ghost o f f " and top secret fumigation device to ward off the spiritual phenomenon. "They should be locked u p , " stated one observer. But most comments about the superna tu ra l f ighters are favorable. "I t makes for a good study b r e a k , " said one f reshman.

" I t ' s the best thing tha t ' s ever happened to Van Vleck Hall ." proclaimed an e la ted ghost-victim, saved by the dauntless group

But what do they do? This reporter decided to find out In-following the ghost busters , at a distance.

A call, one of over 30 this week, comes in on their 24-hour hotline (not answered "be tween two and seven in the morn ing" ) . And they ' re off. The cal ler . Amy f rom Van Vleck. reported a ghost at-tempting to eat her b i r thday cake. What the ghos tbus te rs found w a s some th ing unex-pected: the ghost of Ted Ken-nedy's ca r . After quickly dispos-ing of the t roublesome spirit , they sang a quick "Happy Birth-d a y " to Amy and were off.

"1 think they ' re s t r a n g e . " But who are they? The two founders are professors Scott and Kick The rest of the group var ies on each mission. Member s have in-cluded psychic noses, and pro-fessors Tim. Tim. Dan. and Mike.

Why a r e they doing this? "We feel that the only good ghost is a busted ghost. We basical lv have

no love for the slime spraying lit tie bugge r s , " s ta te the two founders.

At tempt ing to discover the s e c r e t s of t h e i r " h i g h l y technica l" devices, this reporter followed them to Melissa and Beth 's room in Dyks t ra . In the process of r idding the room ot the ghost, they used "ghost of t" , the "ghost s w a t t e r " , the "M-18 ghost sl ime re t r ieval uni t" , and the " i n t e r n a l l y a c t i v a t e d an t i spir i tual infi l trat ion devices" which a re cleverly disguised as candy corn. This repor ter con eluded that the devices were too complex to descr ibe here.

Mr. Smith Comes to Hope

•m.

by William Monk . This week's SAC Saturday

Night Special can only be described as a true Hollywood classic, complete with Frank Capra's best script and a handful of Hollywood's greatest stars.

44 M r . S m i t h G o e s t o Washington,'* winner of seven A c a d e m y A w a r d s , is a n idealistic look at the Amer ican government m a d e r ight at the t ime when Hitler was at his peak. Previewed before an audience of Washington notables in 1939, it was highly disliked by the Con-gressman and Senators who thought it m a d e politicians look bad. It . was, however , very popular with the public, which didn't mind the thought of there b e i n g , an h o n e s t p o l i t i c i a n somewhere in this world.

44 M r . S m i t h G o e s t o Washington" is the story of young Jef fe rson Smith, an inno-cent and optimist ic pa rk ranger ra ther unrealist ically chosen to serve as the rep lacement for a US Senator who had recently died (the idea being, of course, that someone so naive could be easily controlled by the powerful p o l i t i c a l m a c h i n e ) . J i m m y Stewart quite believably play's the- idealistic new Senator , who ra ther quickly discovers that his

heroes a re not as Godlike as he would have liked to believe. Claude Rains, who really looks as if he should have been Presi-dent, plays Senator Paine , the fallen hero looking towards the White House, and E d w a r d Ar-nold, as always, p lays the arch-villain to perfection. J e a n Arthur por t rays Saunders , the hard-bitten skeptic won over by Smith ' s innocence.

Movie director F r a n k Capra made his ca ree r making aple pie, hokey all-American f i lms that were widely loved and highly ac-claimed, and this one is typical of his style. Using phrases like 4 'lost causes a re the only ones worth fighting fo r " , Capra wraps the audience in a Will Rogers cocoon of patr io t ism, but one which goes far enough to keep you watching but not quite far enough to be too much. For those who r e m e m b e r last yea r ' s 4,You can ' t take it with you", another Capra pro-duction, this is along s imilar lines, though the ending swings f rom one ex t r eme to the other much too quickly (about five seconds). "Mr . Smi th" is about as believable as " R a i d e r s of the Lost Ark" , but it is just as en-joyable. This tale really couldn't happen, but wouldn't it be great if it did. On a scale of one to ten, "Mr . Smi th" is a nine.

The Lean, Mean,

Gene Machine by E. Trembley Plants a re able to change the

s t ructure of some chemicals so that they become carcinogens, harming people through the food c h a i n a n d w a t e r . s u p p l y . D i s c o v e r i n g ' h o w p l a n t s metabolize chemicals , and iden-tifying exact ly which chemicals plants t r ans fo rm a re the tasks of Dr. J a m e s Gentile, Associate Professor of Biology, and his staff of technicians and students, known as " the lean m e a n gene mach ine . "

Gentile believes that there is great cause for concern regar -ding such metabol izat ion of c h e m i c a l s by p l a n t s . Such t r a n s f o r m a t i o n e n l a r g e s the number of carcinogens, cancer causing agents, that all people contact. Gentile said that he hopes his research will lead to some kind of government restric-tion of the use of such chemicals . He admi t s that these studies raise many uncomfor tab le ques-tions: if the most efficient chemical (example : pesticide) is toxic, should another, less effec-tive chemical be used that is non-toxic? Who will m a k e such deci-sions?

Funding for Genti le 's research comes in the fo rm of a National Insti tute of Heal th r e sea rch grant , originally awarded 1980-83 for over $214,000, and renewed for 1983-87 for $433,635. This money is used to purchase l abora to ry . equ ipment and pay technicians hired by Gentile.

Many of Gentile's experiments

with environmental ly sensit ive p l a n t s a n d h i g h l y t o x i c chemicals will be conducted in the greenhouse former ly located behind Lubbers Hall and soon to be r econs t ruc t ed outs ide of Peale .

A res t r ic ted a r ea is required for his use so that his chemica ls don't interfere with other scien-t i s t s ' p lan t s , and so o the r chemicals do not affect his plants.

Working with Gentile are two full-time technicians and several Hope students. The technicians are Steve Townsend and Glenda Gehtile, Gentile 's wife. Hope s tuden ts actual ly conduct ing research for Gentile a re Dave P l u y m e r s , Deb H y d e n b e r g , M e l i n d a B r a d y a n d J a y n e Courts. Lab aides a re Tim Shafer , J a n e Ekleber ry , Mac Lippert, Teresa McPherson and Jean ine Davison. Several of these students worked for Gen-tile over the s u m m e r and were paid an houly wage, but work during the academic yea r is not paid, done either for credit , or for the "love of sc ience."

Gentile hopes to take some of his research ass is tants to na-tional meet ings where they must present pape r s on their work. Such meet ings a r e typically for g radua te students. Hope is the only institution that sponsors undergrads.

Genti le t eaches a course related to his research.4 'Genetic Toxicology" is offered every other year her at Hope.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin is hospitalized in Jerusalem whith a urinary tract problem. A hospital official says Begin's condition isn't serious - but doctors don't know exactly what's wrong with him, how long he'll be in the hospital, or whether he'll need surgery. The 71-year old former leader is described as being in "high spirits."

Teachers' strikes around the nation continue to affect school children - more than 7800 teachers in seven states. There has been progress in some areas -- about 17-hundred teachers in Grand Rapids, Michigan, agreed to a new pact yeaterday, ending a five-day walkout. And more than 600 teachers voted to return to work in New Jersey Illinois.

I s rae l ' s mi l i tary command says Israeli Air Force planes attacked a Palestinian Guerilla base in Central Lebanon early Monday. The I s rae l i pilots reported accurate hits. It was the 15th Israeli air raid attack on Palestinian ta rge t s in Lebanon this year. And it came just hours after a Moslem leader said that 50 young Lebanese had been readied for suicide a t t a c k s aga ins t I s r a e l ' s occupa t ion forces.

Nobel-Prize winning physicist William Shockley is set to take the stand in Atalanta today is his Bibel suit against a Black reporter.

The deadline is getting closer as the United Auto Workers and General Motors continue efforts to agree on a new contract. The current pact will expire Firday at Midnight. Though the union has not set a formal strike deadline, its chief negotiator says as far as he ' s concerned, midnight Fr iday is the end of the agreement . The U-A-W has already singled out G-M as a strike target.

T h e * Soc ia l S e c u r i t y Ad-e, ministration says its credibility

before the federal courts is at an all-time low. The agency says one reason for the problem is its policv of defending any benefit cutoff of denial regardless of the facts. The agency says it will take a series of steps to alleviate what it calls " the major cris is" confronting it in the courts.

D e m o c r a t i c P r e s i d e n t i a l nominee Walter Mondale says President Reagan should lay his cards on the table. Mondale has disclosed his 177 billion dollar deficit reduction plan that calls for 85 billion dollars in tax in-creases . And Mondale says Reagan should now reveal his ideas about dealing with the deficit. Reagan is dismissing Mondale 's plan as ' 'nothing new."

Pope John Paul paid tr ibute to Canada 's ethnic diversity during an outdoor mass Sunday in the capital of Quebec province. Mon-day thousands of Canadians --representing eskimos and nine Indian tr ibes - gather on the banks of the St. Lawrence River for a meeting with the pontiff. Church officials say the Pope specifically asked to meet with native groups.

Timothy Baldwin had said he wasn' t afraid to die, because he was curious about what happen-ed after death. The 46-year old man died in Louisiana's electric

1 chair Monday morning for his conviction for killing an 85-year old blind woman in 1978.

Baldwin is the 24th U.S^ death row inmate to be executed since t h e U . S . S u p r e m e C o u r t reinstated the death penalty in 1976.

Rival political factions in Israel have agreed to form a Joint government. At a stormy meeting in Tel Aviv, the labor p a r t y of P r i m e M i n i s t e r -Designate Shimon Peres agreed to form a bipartisan ruling body with rival Likud Bloc, l ed by outgoing Pr ime Minister Yitzhak Shamir.

The soviet union says it 's con-cerned that there 's been no pro-gress at a joint 35-nation disar-m a m e n t c o n f e r e n c e i n Stockholm. Sweden so far . And the soviets accuse the U.S. and "NATO" of introducing pro-posals that amount to sneak at-tempts at getting classified in-formation. the idea behind the conference, which reconvenes to-day, is to reduce the risk of ac-cidentally starting a war. The U.S. says it's ready to move toward an agreement as soon as possible.

A group of former astronauts and cosmonauts from the U.S., the Soviet Union and France say they 're forming an organization of former space travelers. The part icipants say they want to use their experiences to promote "constructive uses" of space.

More bodies were found in t h r e e s e g r e g a t e d b l a c k townships of South Africa where r io ters d a s h e d with police. Authorities now say 22 blacks . were killed and more than 200 in-jured in the rioting which broke out during a protest of rent in-creases.

President Reagan may have won over the leader of the na-tion's largest Black religious organization. Last week, the leader of the national Baptist convention criticized the ad-m i n i s t r a t i o n for f a i l i ng to understand the needs of Blacks. But af ter a meet ing the Reagan Monday, the Reverend T . J . Jemison emerged to say he believed the President would do some things that had been asked of h i m - a n d R e a g a n would release a s ta tement later . But W'hite House officials say no statement will be coming out and no new p rog rams had been pro-mised.

Airline officials have reached an agreement to ease the conges-tion at busy airporls--in Atlanta, and at New York 's Kennedy and Laguardia . The agreement was worked out in hours of discus-sions among officials for various airlines. It calls for shifting flights from peak travel periods. But no final agreement has been reached on cutting congestion at three other key a i rpor t s -Newark International in New Jersey, Denver 's Stapleton International and Chicago's O'Hare Interna-tional.

Ten years a f te r Richard Nixon resigned the Presidency because of the Watergate-scandal , a new s u r v e y i n d i c a t e s m o s t Americans feel he was right to resign ra ther than fight.

The survey also said 57 percent a re against Nixon holding an active role in government, such as a roving ambassador or Presiden-tial advisor. And 44 percent say they have an unfavorable opinion of Nixon today.

There will be something new from the President within the next week, according to ad-ministration and congressional sources. They say he'll be issuing a tough new report on alleged Soviet violations of a r m s control agreements over the last 25 years. The sources say the State Department is concerned about the posible impact the report will have on relat ions with the Soviets.

The Air Force is defending the construction of a new shuttle launch site at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.

One U.S. official says the meet ing - t h e f irst between Reagan and a Senior Kremlin Leader - i s certain to be seen as reflecting a slight thaw is U.S.-Soviet relations.

A researcher says the real pro-blem in American education is that students don't have enough s e l f - d i s c i p l i n e . S o c i o l o g i s t A m i t a i E t z i o n i s a y s in a government - sponsored repor t that millions of high school students lack commitment and don't apply themselves.

Greenhouse Dismantled

by E. Trembley

Hope College has received ap-prova l f r o m the B o a r d of Trustees to proceed with the con-struction of an underground chemical s torage unit to be located on the north end of the P e a l e S c i e n c e C e n t e r . T h e greenhouse recent ly removed from behind Lubber ' s Hall will be reconstructed on the roof of the b a s e m e n t - l e v e l s t o r a g e facility, providing a limited-access facility in which ex-per iments involving plants and toxic chemica l s can be con-ducted more safely.

The underground facility will be used for the s torage of volatile c h e m i c a l s , s u b s t a n c e s t h a t e v a p o r a t e qu i ck ly or h a v e

uns table or explosive proper t ies . According to Dr . J a m e s Gentile of the Biology Depar tmen t , such a "h igher secu r i ty" s torage a r ea for toxic chemica l s would great-ly reduce the risk of accidents . The new facility would be away f rom the heavy t ra f f ic flow of s tudents , and would provide a spot in which to ga the r all dangerous substances . Gentile s ta ted that no exotic chemica l s would be stored in the new facili-ty, and pointed out that even something as common a s paint is highly explosive and best stored in one place.

T h e r e l o c a t i o n of t h e greenhouse former ly si tuated behind Lubber ' s Hall has been prompted by Hope's scient is ts ' needs for usable greenhouse space. The greenhouse was con-s t ructed when Lubbers was the science facility. Since the con-struction of Peale , use of the greenhouse has been imprac-tical. A tropical plant could not

suitably be t ranspor ted to the laborator ies dur ing the cold M i c h i g a n w i n t e r s . O n c e relocated, the greenhouse will be used pr imar i ly by Gentile in his r e s e a r c h c o n c e r n i n g p l a n t s ' react ions to toxic chemica ls .

In response to questions regar-ding environmenta l risk, Dr. Paul Van Faasen , Cha i rman of the Biology D e p a r t m e n t , insured that the building of any chemical s torage facility would be rigidly governed by rules designed by the EPA and other s ta te and federal organizat ions to protect the environment . The plans for the underground unit, which have not yet been finalized, a re so f a r within all s t a te codes.

Vice-Pres ident for F inance William Anderson es t imated the total cost for the construction of the s torage unit and the reloca-tion of the greenhouse at approx-imately $100,000. It is possible that digging m a y begin this fall for the new facili ty.

Hope College has done ex-t r emely well in organiz ing students with prospective dor-mitory residences, especially this year where the f reshman class swelled in numbers to be recognized as Hope's largest. Even so, the college's housing directors aptly handled the placement of students for on-

the cards which list their in-terests, preferences, etc. There is an innumerable amount of time that the housing advisors expend at tempting to match up

backgrounds and value systems which comprise a college cam-pus.

He feels teaching keeps professors in touch with the students, enabling him to see where a department is lacking or how things could be changed for our benefit.

Dr. Bruins is excited about his

present location of the College Relations office, in room L14 of DeWitt basement; and for one semester the art and theatre design classes shared space in DePree Art Center, according to Richard Smith, Associate Pro-fessor of Theatre.

Because of these complica-tions, theatre students were put-ting off taking the design classes they needed in hopes that the pro-blem would be resolved.

The administration and the theatre department worked out a plan for what was needed to pro-vide the s tudents with the f a c i l i t i e s f o r a p o s i t i v e , beneficial learning experience. A compromise was reached to renovate the existing theat re space in the basement of DeWitt.

Last year the three rooms in the DeWitt basement were used for the costume shop and for small prop and costume storage.

Freshmen Break Out -Things Start Popping

by Todd VerBeek As I walked out of the DeWitt

Center on Thursday evening, 6 September, 1984 something was in the air.

I had just finished processing a series of pictures and was "look-ing forward to" solving some Physics problems, but something alerted my senses. Could it be--?--There h a d been r u m o r s - - ! surveyed the clearing between DeWitt and Nykerk and Kollen and the Delphi House. On both sides of 12th Street were crowds of water-balloon-toting students. This was it: The annual War of the Water!

I sprinted across the clearing to get my camera . Despite the spo rad ic lobbing of w a t e r -balloons by slingshot, I made it to my room in the Fra t Complex and back safely. Most of the forces on the north side of the clearing were crowded around the entryway"of Nykerk. I tried to get myself into a safe, elevated position on the porch of DeWitt for a better viewpoint but with no1

success. Realizing my only chance at any good pictures was on the lower ground. 1 left my position of safety and leapt in among the a rmed students.

I found myself face to face with men and women armed with water-balloons and buckets of water , and wearing je r seys which read "87 PULL". I quickly snapped several pictures of the balloon-launcher in action while students eyed me suspiciously. Suddenly, a number of f reshmen charged out of Nykerk. at trac-ting the fire of the assembled crowd. About midway through this initial barrage, this reporter received a direct hit to the groin from a water-balloon. Since my attention (as well as my c a m e r a ) was focused on the pr imary targets of this volley, I did not see it coming.

I withdrew to the relative.safe-ty of DeWitt porch and was able to focus on the door to Nykerk. Inside were more f reshmen, held hostage. 1 snapped some shots of them through the glass doors of the building. I could see that some of them were going to at-tempt an escape. In twos and

threes, they made a break for the only place of safety in reach: the far side of the clearing. It was then that I saw the sophomores ' special weapon. A number of elite, highly-trained specialists were wielding shaving-cream cans. Their comrades-in-arms would catch and res t ra in an in-dividual while the specialists sprayed them with the c ream.

All the while, the crowd was getting more disarrayed. I found myself constantly avoiding the deadly (to my camera ) splatter of balloons and buckets. (The shaving cream was rarely a threat to bystanders such as myself.) As the light faded, the disturbance spread to fill the clearing. Hydra ted f reshmen r e t u r n e d , f u l l y a r m e d , to retaliate against those who had soaked them. What had started as a simple hostage situation had degenerated to pandemonium. Recovering from my earlier wound, it was all that I could do to stay out of the way of water-carrying warriors. Then things got nasty.

Both s ides-though it was no longer a simple two-sided ba t t l e -had begun to mix mud with their buckets of water. Tha t ' s right: mud-water, an easily made, but highly dangerous weapon. 1 held out as long as I could against these clear and present dangers. 1 was running out of film and the light was fading fast. Further-more, 1 was in a war zone, where not all people place much value on the life of a $350 camera outfit. 1 was forced to re t reat to my room, alive but not unscathed.

My clothes were well-soaked and specked with mud, and my hair was simply a mess. A change of clothes and good comb-ing helped put me on the road to recovery. I 'm not sure I'll ever fully recover from this ex-perience, but heck, that ' s the job of a war correspondent. I must end this report now to go on ot my next assignment: chapter 2, pro-blems 2-78, even.

This is an account of the recent fighting on 12th Street from the perspective of a photographer actually caught in the midst of hostilities.

Soccer '84. Dutchmen Aim High by Scott Ellingson The Hope College soccer team is

coming off their best season ever. Needless to say, they are expecting big things in *84. •

Last year the Dutchmen took the MIAA title with an impressive 10-1-1 record (13-4-2 overall) and were rewarded with a post-season bid to the NCAA Division III National Soc-cer Tournament. As number one seed in the Mideast region, Hope ad-vanced, to the-final twelve before bowing out to Ohio Weslayan for the second year in a row. .

Coach Gregg Afman, who gained post-season accolades as Mideast region Coach of the Year, believes that the competitiveness of the league is plenty to worry about. He prefers to let 'nationals take care of themselves,' adding that 'it will be tougher this year to make it.'

Last year's team graduated four All-League players including All-Mideast goalkeeper A1 Crothers. Another All-Mideast player and tri-captain. Junior sweeper Kevin Denham, will anchor a solid defense along with tri-captains Mike Brown and Judd Efinger. Benham is Hope's most easily recognizable player as he sports his black goatee, which is feared around the league.

Up front, Hope whould be more ex-plosive with the switch of sophomore Paul Roe to forward from midfield. He will team with last year's other freshman standout Magnus Ojert and senior Dayna Beal, the team's leading scorer.

At midfield, junior Dan Fead heads a talented but inexperienced group which could include freshmen Ron Girardi and Jason Tilroe. Overall, Afman feels that despite some inex-perience in depth, this is the most

skilled and deepest team he has seen. Skill and depth will be important as

Afman maintains that the MIAA will be 'the toughest it has ever been.' He points not only to perennial rival Calvin, recent winner of the Wooster tournament, and always tough Kalamazoo, but to Albion who returns all eleven starters, and an improved Adrian.

The non-league schedule looks even tougher with MacMurray, Il-linois, Michigan State, Division III powerhouse Wheaton (September 12), and Goshen in this Saturday's home opener.

The Dutchmen are looking forward to a great and exciting season! Come out and support them this Saturday and next Tuesday night as they begin their drive for a second straight MIAA title against Alda at Holland Municipal Stadium

Hope Takes Opener by William De Binder

Martin J. Hill The Hope College Flying Dutchmen

opened their football season in Illinois against Olivet Nazarene on Saturday.

It was a day for firsts as the Olivet team wore their new uniforms for the first time (wheih means Hope got them dirty for the first time), and a new Hope football record was set by junior Mike Sturm who scored five touchdowns, breaking The previous record of four. For this achieve-ment, Sturm was neame the MlAA's of-fensive player of the week.

Hope's offense got off to a slow start in the first quarter, but by the second, things had warmed up enough to score two touchdowns. The first came off a Greg Heeres pass to Bill Vanderbilt, which set up the first of Sturm's five touchdowns. The second came later in the second quarter when Sturm again rose to the oc-casion with a 12 yard run into the end zone.

At the two minute mark Hope apparent-ly thought the half had ended, as they ap-peared to be asleep on the field. Olivet took .advantage of numerous mental miscues to score their only touchdowns of the game.

With renewed determination, the Dut-

chmen took the field in the third quarter and took advantage of several Olivet tur-novers, including four interceptions-two by senior Scott Jecmen (of The Ghetto), one fumble caused by Dirk VerMeulen and recovered by Dave Morren. Sturm continued his record-setting pace, and scored three touchdowns in that stanza.

In the fourth quarter, sophomore Quarterback Chris Mendels of Ottawa Hills combined with classmate and Hamilton grad Barry Immink on a fifty yard scoring strike to cap the game.

All 48 team members who travelled to Olivet were able to play, much to the pleasure of Coach Ray Smith.

Hope's next game will be this Saturday, September 15, when they open at home against DePauw.

Coach Smith is looking forward to the game, 'For us it's always a big game against a worthy opponent. . Last year they humbled us on their field, so this year it should be a good game. The rivalry between these two teams (Hope and DePauw) has grown really in-teresting and 'e kids look forward to it every year.'

Go out Saturday afternoon to Holland Municipal Stadium at 1:30 and root the Dutch to another victory.

Run-Bike-Swim Scheduled ' byLesRehak

Whether doing it for the trophy, or just for the heck of it, the seventh an-nual Run-Bike-Swim is back again for all the interested folks out there.

ODL, Inc. of Zeeland, Michigan, is sponsoring this almost traditional event (give it a few more years before it goes on the tradition list) in cooperation with the Hope College physical education department. It will be held on Saturday, October 20, conveniently - or not so conveniently - coinciding with Hope's homecom-ing celebration.

According to Glenn Van Wieren, this year's coordinator, several dif-ferent events. Including a triathalon, will take place with age group divi-sions for,both, antf women In all

events. If competition's your style, a 5,000

or 10,000 metre run are being offered with a 16,000 metre bike race. Swim-ming events include a 400 metre race for the 12 and under age bracket atid an 800 metre race for the 13 and older crowd.

For those only interested in the ex-ercise, there are the events listed above as well as a one mile run-walk. The swimming events will take place in the Kresge Natatorlum in the Dow Center. The runners will start at the Dow and proceed on a course that follows the streets of Holland.

For those brave of heart, with a well trained physique, and a weird penchant for rising at almost obscene hours on Saturday morning, the triathlon is being offered. It consists

of the 300m swim, the 16,000m bike, and the 10,000m run. Starting time will be at 5:30 a.m. in the Kresge pool with the run and bike following.

Pre-registration for the events is encouraged although it may be done on October 20 at 7:30 a.m. For the triathletes, pre-registration may be a wise move - only 120 people will be allowed to participate.

Events will start at varying times between 8:30 and 10:00 a.m. except for the triathlon which will be well under way. At 11:30 an awards ceremony will be held at the Dow Center. Registration fee for the com-petitive events is $5 and $7 for the triathlon. Recreational activities are open to all free of charge. Forms are available at the physical education department office In the Dow. /

Quality Key in CC Performance

by Steve Underwood Coach Bill Vanderbilt has said that

the real strength of his Hope men's cross country tem lies in its depth. But the question may be just how-strong is this "strength"?

In this past Tuesday's Hope Invita-tional, it was evident that depth was responsible for enabling the Dutch to do as well as they did. By placing six of their seven varsity runners in spots 10-19 -- in the space of less than a minute -- Hope took second in the nine team, 55 runner field.

But their 71 point total, nearly twice that of the winning Siena Heights team (36 points), pales in comparison to recent years. And it was the first time in at least the last five years, if not ever, that the Dutch failed to place a runner in the top nine.

But it was difficult to be too negative on a warm, breezy after-

noon at the Holland Country Club. After all, it wasn't a bad showing by the Dutchmen.

Soph Llndsey Dood was the top Hope finisher with his 10th place time of 26:54 for five miles. Dood appears to be ready, in only his second year, to lead the Dutch. He is the best of a strong sophomore class, which presently makes up four of the top six runners on the squad. They are the depth of the team. But they must eventually be able to move up a bit higher in the opposing ranks if Hope is to repeat its MIAA championship of last year.

"We're basically a young team," says Vanderbilt. It's also a team with-tremendous talent and potential: a team with depth in a fast group of sophomores; and sometimes un-predictable but potentially outstan-ding upperclassmen leadership and performance.

Record Review A Flock of Seagulls A Flock of Seagulls The Story of a Young Heart Jive-Artista JL8-8250 Overall Grade c A Flock of Seagulls is on thc

top of the English music charts . They are a progressive group that blends today 's top 40 fashion pop with 80's technopop. A Flock of Seagulls sounds like a cross between the Fixx and Ultravox.

Their new album The Story of a Young Heart is no exception to the aforement ioned formula . Each of the a lbum's nine cuts is structured around a catchy, but repetitive rhythm track. This is followed by layered synthesizers entwined with polyphonic vocals. Occasionally there is a- little light, poppish, rhythm guitar but nothing to get excited about.

The a lbum's high point, t 4Heart of Steel," is centered around an eerie, wailing voice crying out "Hear t of Steel. . ." at the beginn-ing of nearly every line. This s o n g is p u n c t u a t e d by a heartbeat-like-beat.

This album isn't a master-piece, but I 've heard worse. Shelve it with the Fixx and

Duran Duran. You can expect more music like this, from this band and others, in the future, with this sound jus't beginning to catch on here in the States.

Prince Prince and the Revolution "Purp le Ra in" Warner Bros. .Overall Grade C 4-

Prince 's latest album is an adventurous album in today's cluttered music scene. It is a mixture of everything from soul to rhythm and Blues, rock and roll to funky black dance music. The two singles, "When Doves Cry" and "Le t ' s Go Crazy" , set the pace for this dance-oriented album. This record is dance music from beginning to end, but does more than hint at some cat-chy guitar licks. The guitar solos in the beginning of "When Doves Cry" and the end of "Lets Go Crazy" do much to broaden this album's appeal. In conclusion, this record isn't destined to be a classic, but it 's the best dance music I 've heard vet.

Movie Review • Tightrope

by John Hensler Tightrope Rated R A Clint Eastwood film about a

cop begins . ,Before you can sit back, e ight . people a r e blown away. A diner is reduced to dust. A gritty, hardened face stares at the people he has just killed.

Yes, this is an actual scene, Many saw it last winter is the Eastwood film Sudden Impact, another installment in the highly popular "Dirty H a r r y " series. The film featured lots of action, b u t o t h e r e l e m e n t s l i k e characterization and plot a r e practically nonexistent.

Now comes another Eastwood film, also about a cop. Here we go again. As the film begins, you grip the seat in anticipation of the gore to come. It doesn't hap-pen.

In Tightrope, Eastwood plays a homicide detective investigating a series of sexually oriented murders in New Orleans ' red-light district. Eastwood does his investigative work by interview-ing (and then bedding) the women who knew thc murdered woman. The tension increases when we find out that women he has interviewed begin to be murdered, one af ter the other. All that is known of the murdere r is that he uses a police uniform as his cover while strolling the French Quarter . We never see his face except in sillouette; it looks eerily like Eastwood's . The women are all raped before they are murdered.

Unlike most of his other per-f o r m a n c e s , in T i g h t r o p e , Eastwood is more subtle and reserved. His charac te r is the real heart of this movie. He does have h e a r t - h e is a divorced

father with two daughters and an ex-wife, who thinks that money is more important than anything else. She implies that she wants the girls back (she left them along with Eastwood) which only adds to his troubles. The play be tween E a s t w o o d and his daughters is very well done, perhaps because the eldest is played by E a s t w o o d ' s own daughter, Amanda. The girls mean a lot to him, and the ten-sion produced by the love for his daughters (and the risk of losing them) and his own sexual problems-vvhen he finally meets a nice woman, he cannot iove her at f i rs t -a l l these make Tightrope an aptly named film. You wonder if he will be able to make it through the film without crack-ing. This guy has problems besides trying to get his morals straightened ou t -he has to find this m u r d e r e r , which he does through a nice variety of very suspenseful scenes-some involv-ing the girls--as well as a very ef-fective dream sequence-s tand out. E a s t w o o d ' s s t r u g g l i n g

, character is far more realistic that the comic book-like "Dirtjt Harry ," and it 's a refreshing change. It 's also nice that his gun doesn't look like a hand-held can non.

1 was sort of surprised to enjoy this movie this much, and abou three out of every four people have talked to don't like this film It is sexually explicit and so be forewarned. However, for those

. who choose to see Tightrope they can watch Clint Eastwood move beyond action into acting.

Faculty Activities. Dr. Charles Huttar of the English Depart-ment will be conducting a three-part series entitled "What Crea-tionism Is All About."

The series, according to Hut-tar, will point out <4why the evolu-tion controversy is really a red herr ing." Huttar will also relate his a rguments to the First Arti-cle of the Creed, which according to Anglican beliefs, asserts the importance of unders tanding creation.

The series will take p lace ' the next three Sundays at 11:25 a.m. at the Grace Episcopal Church.
