and students Megan Kr igbaum STAFF REPORTER
Lasi week President Bu l tman establ ished

Chapel . There will be thirteen people on the
commit tee with the President as the chair. The
commit tee is composed of a blend of faculty,
staff , and students.
i tried to put together a commil tee that
would allow input f r o m many different seg-
ments of the campus communi ty that will
of fer m a n y views and ideas, but all who have
a spiritual interest," said Bul tman.
There are two students on the commit tee .
"I wanted at least one of the students on
the commi t t ee to be wel l -known among stu-
dents [on Hope ' s c ampus , ] " Bultman said.
The students on the commit tee are Kelly
Morr ison ( ' 01) , Student Congress comptrol-

Others on the commit tee include Dwight

Seminary .
" (This Search Commit tee ] will hopeful ly
meet before Chr is tmas for preliminary work,"
Bul tman said.
At that t ime, qual i f icat ions will be deter-
mined by the commit tee .
"It is p r e m a t u r e to talk abou t what the
qual i f ica t ions will be ," Bul tman said. "But
we will of course look for someone who can
preach well, is scholarly, can lead, write, and
be a pastor and also build relat ionships."

Student diagnosed with meningitis Health Clinic warns
campus, but disease is not very contagious Daniel le Koski STAFF R E P O R T E R
On N o v e m b e r 21 . the H e a l t h
Clinic issued a campus wide e-mail
pe r t a in ing to the d i a g n o s i s of a
w o m a n in Scot t Hal l wi th viral
meningit is . Since then, there have
been rumors and ques t ions going
around about the potential danger
to other s tudents on campus .
"Most people w h o are exposed
to the virus don ' t get it." said Anne
McKay, a nurse at the Health Clinic
who is handl ing the situation.
A person can only get viral men-
ingitis in the same w a y that a per-
son can gel m o n o , a c c o r d i n g to
McKay. A person cannot get viral
meningi t is just by si t t ing next to
someone who has it. The person has
to comc in c lose contact with the
d iagnosed pe r son ' s bodi ly secre-
tions. like dr inking after them, eat-
ing of f the s a m e s i l v e r w a r e , or
touching a surface they had sneezed
on.
"Viral meningi t i s is caused by
several d i f ferent viruses ," M c K a y
said. "The worst part are the symp-
toms, including headache and fa-
t igue."
According to McKay, unlike bac-
terial meningitis , which can be very
aggress ive and have serious conse-
quences including death, it is rare
for someone to die of viral menin-
gitis.
"There is no treatment for [viral
meningi t is] ." said McKay. "A lot of
l imes ihcy still g ive antibiotics, but
usual ly it is just rest , f lu ids , and
medica t ion fo r the headache and
nausea a lot of t imes ."
The only d iagnoses of viral men-
ingitis was the woman in Scotl Hall,
no one else was diagnosed with it.
according to McKay .
M c K a y d id s a y that s t u d e n t s
should get the bacterial meningit is
vaccine since the consequences of
that are far worse then that of viral
meningit is .
T h e A m e r i c a n Co l l ege Heal th
Associa t ion r e c o m m e n d s that all
residential students get the vaccine.
"The Health Clinic offers the vac-
cine for $75. and if a student is un-
der Hope ' s insurance it is covered.
S o m e other insurance c o m p a n i e s
cover it too." said McKay.

New Hope TV show planned Auditions to be held
tomorrow Matt Cook C A M P U S BEAT EDITOR
Sta r t ing next semes te r , there
will be a new addit ion to the Hope
Col lege media .
C o m m u n i c a t i o n s tuden t s , led
by David Schock , p ro fe s so r of
communica t ion , are p lanning on
producing a live, bi -weekly news
show for next semester . The show
will cover topics relevant to Hope
and the Holland area.
It is t en ta t ive ly t i t led " H o p e
Today."
In addit ion to being a source for
news, Schock sees the show as a
powerfu l learning tool for his stu-
dents.
"I t ' s been my exper ience, and
it 's my belief, that the best way to
leach people who want to be in the
e l e c t r o n i c med ia is to i nvo lve
them in real product ions." Schock
said. "The re has to be a practical
aspect ."
Students in Schock ' s advanced
production class will make up the
senior staff of the show, which will
be format ted like a typical evening
news program. However, any Hope
student is we l come to audit ion for
anything f rom running cameras to
being a reporter.
"If you wan t to c o m e and see
what we do here, y o u ' r e more then
we lcome to hang out ," Schock said.
Schock would especially like to
have a weather reporter f r o m the
sciences.
"I t ' s easier to train someone to be
on T V than to irain someone about
meteorology," Schock said.
Today ' s Hope will be f i lmed in
the newly revamped video studio on
the second f loor of Lubbers Hall,
and broadcast on channel 6, Mac
TV: the local communi ty access sta-
tion.
Schock is aware lhal producing
a T V show lakes more than techni-
cal work. He feels lhal accurately
reporting the news is a big respon-
sibility. S tudents will have to be
careful to avoid libel and intrusion.
"We will be practicing what we
p reach and wha t w e ' r e t ry ing to
learn." Schock said. "If we make
mis takes there are potential ly di-
sas t rous consequences . Bui that 's
l i fe."
Schock and his students are will-
ing to accept the risks.
"You d o n ' t gel any place in this
bus iness without be ing willing to
do that ," Schock said.
This is not the first T V show that
has been p roduced at Hope Col-
lege. The re have been a few in the
past, and currently there is a daily
newsmagaz ine show called Dutch
Line. It is on f ive days a week at
5:30.
However , Today 's Hope is more
ambi t ious than these s h o w s be-
cause it is live rather than pre-pro-
duced, and Schock hopes for it to
extend beyond next semester.
Schock thinks his s tudents are
up to the chal lenge.
" W h e n they get it, it 's like the
heavens open, and students real-
i z e w h a t t h e y ' r e c a p a b l e o f , "
Schock said.
Ultimately, Shock ' s main goal is
for his students to learn something.

Premonitions
Campus Beat Editor
Phoning it in There is a term I have run
across o l i en in reading movie
review s. When an actor g ives a 1
particularly hear t less perfor-
mance. they say he /she jus t
"phoned it in." Jim Car rey ' s
latest Him might be a good
example ol that.
As we approach the end of this
semester . I c a n ' t help but think
that 's w hat we. the m e m b e r s ol
Hope ' s communi ty , have been
doing lor the past f ew weeks .
We have been phoning-it in.
Maybe it's just me. I con fe s s
that almost every th ing I have
d o n e since Thanksg iv ing break
has not been d o n e to the best of
my ability. T h e papers I have
written are only words to me.
Even as I write this co lumn I am
count ing the words I need to fill
up the necessary space .
But. I don ' t think I am the
only one. Almost eve ryone 1
know is tired. Nobody seems to
want to do any th ing but the
min imum.
• I just want to get this done,
so I can go home and do
nothing." is a c o m m o n refra in .
Everything drags on too long.
The presidential e lect ion that w e
were so exci ted about a month
ago has still not yet been
decided, and we don ' t care about
ii anymore .
Why are w e are a school full
of w eary peop le? Why this
semester?
I don ' t know. M a y b e the effort
is too much to think about it. But
it 's not a good thing. T h a t ' s not
why w e ' r e here at col lege- to not
want to be here. I hesi ta te to say
it. but maybe we should just
suck it up and be excited.
A fr iend who is s tudying
abroad next semester recently
told m e she was sick of Hope.
and that 's why she knew it was
a good time to go. S h e ' s exci ted
about leaving.
So. what does that leave those
of us w h o are s taying here to get
exci ted about?
T h e r e ' s a lot actually.
This semester saw the end of
the ministry of Ben Patterson.
For better or for worse , he ' s had
arguably the biggest single
in f luence on the s tudent body in
recent history. It should be
exci t ing to fo l low the process as
we dec ide w ho will fill his large
shoes.
In September , it was promised
to us that the pos tponed Gay /
Lesbian Film Series would be
s h o w n next semester . It should
be excit ing to see if the adminis -
tration fol lows through on that.
Student Congress is trying to
bring in acc la imed poet Maya
Ange lou to speak. It should be
exci t ing to have someone of her
inf luence and presence c o m e to
our campus .
Then there 's classes. I 'm
taking poetry next semester, and
1 c a n ' t wait .
And there ' s intermural sports,
and jazz band concer ts , and the
second successful semester of
the S h o w Without a H o m e on
W T H S .
I 'm asking you to do me a
favor, and I 'm going to try this
myself . Get exci ted next
semester . Put your heart into it.
N o more phoning it in.
It 's contag ious and I don ' t
think I can take much more of
this.
Toys for Tots helps kids Communication stu-dents collect toys
Matt C o o k C A M P U S BEAT EDITOR
Thanks to the work of f ive Hope
students, and the donat ions of doz-
ens more, many needy children
in the area will not go with-
out Chris tmas presents this
year.
Toys for Tots, a char-
ity program run by the
US M a r i n e C o r p s , is
being hosted on cam-
pus by Laura Col l ins
( '02) . Emily Gisleson
( ' 0 1 ) . Laura R o e l o f s
( ' 0 1 ) , S t e p h a n i e
Venard ("02). and Beth Winne
(*03). They did it as part of an as-
s ignment in c o m m u n i c a t i o n 220,
Task Group Leadership, taught by
Joseph MacDonie l s .
" W e had to p lan and e x e c u t e
some sort of public service act that

Coll ins said.
Toys for Tots col lects new, un-
wrapped toys for chi ldren w h o will
no t get C h r i s t m a s p r e s e n t s , o r
whose parents cannot afford Christ-
mas presents.
T h e student group had seen do-
nation boxes around the c a m p u s in
the past, but they d idn ' t feel they
made much of an impact . They
thought they could do
better.
"I r e a l l y
wanted to get

Col l ins said.

"We wanted to be a little bit more
in their face ." Col l ins said. ' T h e
boxes and word of mouth can do
the rest ."
They got the donation boxes from
a Grand Rapids radio station, w h o
they will turn the gi f ts over to when
it is done . Then the Mar ine Corps
will dis tr ibute the gi f ts in the Hol-
land and Grand Rap ids area.
A l though it started off slowly,
Col l ins feels donat ions have really
picked up.
"Right now, underneath my bed
is pretty m u c h stocked with toys."
Col l ins said. "Tha t ' s a good sign."
Toys for Tots will run through
Friday. Dec. 8. T h e com-
munica t ion s tudents are
planning on collecting the
boxes Saturday morning.
" (The boxes] will be out
there as long as the build-
ings are open," Collins said.
Co l l in s encourages stu-
dents to r emember what it
w a s like for them to receive pre ;
sents on Chr i s tmas morning.
" I j u s t r e a l l y v i s u a l i z e the
ch i ld ren ' s faces- just to see their
eyes light up if there 's a gift under
that t ree." Col l ins said. "I think it
would touch a lot of people ' s hearts
to think about chi ldren 's faces light-
ing up ."
Donat ion boxes are in VanWylen
Library, DeWit t lobby. Cook and
Phelps Hall cafeter ias .

Our voice
The Anchor is always open lo honesl criticism, and lellers to the editor
are something to which we pay a good deal of attention. However, the
Anchor is also in the position of being a publication devoted to present-
ing the news and opinions of Hope College in the most fair and journal-
istic manner possible. Unfortunately, some people fail to recognize the
position of the Anchor on this campus, and accuse us of being aligned
"against them." The Anchor has been criticized multiple t imes for dealing with the
issue of the red light signs that student congress chose lo install. What
the critics fail to mention is that the Anchor was merely responding to a
number of students who felt that the signs were a waste of money, prima-
rily because they were not operational at the time. It is not the Anchor
that is critical of the installment of the s igns—we are trying to accurately
re l ied the views of a portion of the student body.
The Anchor is the publication of the students, and we strive to present
a publication that speaks to and from a very diverse student body. To
claim that the Anchor is biting the hand that feeds it by attacking Student
Congress seems to be a misplaced sentiment. The Anchor is responding
to the true hand that funds its publicat ion—the student body. Student
Congress doesn' t provide the money, it administrates the students' money.
When students disagree with something that Student Congress does, they
have the full right to make their views known.
The Anchor 's coverage of the leaving of Ben Patterson has been criti-
cized from a number of people, even to the point of accusations of de-
monizing Patterson. The Anchor worked hard to create a fair and even-
handed review of Ben Patterson's time at Hope College. And it was an
article that represented the feelings of two very separate sides of the cam-
pus. Half the campus feels that a single word suggesting that the chaplain's
stuff was a part of any of the controversies is heretical. The other half of
the campus feels that the chaplain 's staff sets the tone for the religious
life on campus, and that is a tone that has had both its ups and downs
over the past years. In the two articles in the paper, we presented the facts
of Ben Patterson's time at Hope College, as well as quotes f rom Patterson
and others about his time at Hope. Some people who were upset with the
article say that it did not present certain things that Patterson has accom-
plished during his time at Hope, for instance a "spiritual growth" on cam-
pus that has occurred during his appointment. Unfortunately, spiritual
growth cannot be measured in a manner that makes for good journal ism.
How can a newspaper verify that people have moved closer to God, in a
way that goes beyond their personal test imony? Ben Patterson did a lot
for many individuals, but those things are not the subject of solid jour-
nalism. What the Anchor could include was a factual relation of Patterson's
time at Hope, and how Patterson and certain individuals from different
perspectives felt about it.
The student body of Hope College already has a publication that is
filled with feel-good, controversy-avoiding articles: it is called News From
Hope College. Fortunately, the Anchor is a publication at Hope College
that relates the news of campus: the good, the bad, the inspirational, and
the disgusting. We're here to talk the tough talk, and relate the ways that
things are on campus, and sometimes we get criticized for that role. But
week after week we take it. and are willing to continue to serve the entire
campus community to the best of our ability.

Too many controversial statements, says student To the Editor,
I am a member of the Student
Congress appropriations commit-
tee and I would like to comment
on the recent ad-hoc request the
Anchor made for a new newspa-
per-sized printer. Apparently the
old printer was in rapid decline
and took 45 minutes to print one
page. While the request had its
faults in that it wasn ' t a capital
request (a request made for large
purchases during spring budget-
ing), its biggest fault was making
so many controversial statements
(in recent articles) about s tudent
congress. For example, an article
tilled "New signs don ' t work yet"
appeared in the 11/8 issue. Ironi-
cally, the article became a waste of
space since the signs were up and
running the same day. Nonetheless,
the Anchor felt it could take this op-
portunity to make a knee-jerk reac-
tion article on the purchase of the
signs. With that said, it is generally
a bad idea to bile the Student Con-
gress that feeds you. Thanks to this,
some of the appropriation members
had a tough time trying lo approve
this ad-hoc request. I for one will
approve the request because I be-
l ieve mos t of the s tuden t body
would want this, but I hope that the
Anchor would take into consider-
ation a change in their attitude to-
ward not just the student congress,
but all organizations. However, if
your goal at the Anchor is lo be
laughed at for your tunnel vision
opinions and lack of professional
journalism, then you are suceeding.

Student feels Patterson article unfairly biased To the Editor,
After reading the Spotlight ar-
ticle entitled "Leaving the Gath-
ering" (Nov. 29), I felt I needed
to respond to the one-sided tell-
ing of the story of Ben Patterson's
chaplaincy at Hope. The article,
in my opinion, concentrated far
loo heavily on the controversies
that necessarily befall a commu-
nity trying to live out its faith,
overlooked all the amazing ac-
complishments of the last six and
a half years. Rather than celebrate
these achievements, what I saw
on page six of the past issue of
the Anchor was an unashamed
attempt to vilify Ben. to portray
his ministry in the worst possible
light, and to say lo him "good rid-
dance:" as he leaves us. Disagree-
ment on certain issues since his
arrival have excited passions (on
both sides. I admit) and we rarely
slop to think what a miracle took
place that the chapel program was
literally brought back to life under
Ben's guidance. Sure, the article ac-
curately reported the rise in chapel
attendance during Ben's tenure, but
it failed lo report the remarkable
spiritual growth that has accompa-
nied, and really surpasses in impor-
tance. this rise in attendance. How
many people have been challenged
lo a deeper relationship with Jesus
Christ in the past few years because
of the chapel program? I know of
at least one. How many people have
fell the call to ministry whi le at
Hope? I know of at least one. The
way Ben talked about the beautiful
heritage of Hope College as a train-
ing ground for future ministers and
missionaries was nothing short of
inspirational. If we have failed lo
see what a powerful vision Ben had
for the kingdom of God, we ought
to be ashamed. Our theological dif-
ferences pale in comparison to the
compel l ing call we as Christians
have to live out the Gospel in all
that we do. And the chapel program
of the last few years has. I believe,
challenged us all with this call.
Let 's be honest with ourselves.
We would have disagreed about is-
sues of homosexuality and plural-
ism whether Ben had been here or
not. He and Dolores and Paul are
not responsible for these controver-
sies. The seeds were sown long be-
fore they arrived. So I urge all of
those who would demonize Ben
Patterson to set aside for a moment
their own personal opinion, and say
thank you for the work he has done.
Two things that are indisputable are
that Ben loves Jesus and Ben loves
us. C a n ' t we learn f rom that no
matter what side of the controver-
sies we fall on?

Queer Campus 2000 makes visible statement To the Editor,
This morning some of you may
have awoke to see flyers posted
all over campus with the phrase,
"We ' r e here! We're queer! Gel
used to it!" on them. These flyers
have been put up as a means lo
create awareness among the Hope
College community. These post-
ers are in no way associated with
G.L.O.B.E. . Al though our g roup
supports G.L.O.B.E. In every way.
we ourselves are not members of
their organization, and do not wish
to see G.L.O.B.E. held responsible.
Our group feels that it is important
to understand that diversity does
exist at Hope College. As a society
we should strive to understand all
that our world holds for us. We will
not go back lo hiding who we are.
Odd smells near library concern To the Editor,
After reading Jane Bast 's ar-
ticle last week, I was inspired to
(in her words) "find the root of
the problem and take the steps to
change it." I was wondering if
anyone knows what is causing the
area outs ide of the Van Wylen
Library lo slink so much. (Any-
one who walks by this part of
campus knows what I am talking
about). Every time I have passed by
the area between Peale and the li-
brary in ihe past couple months, I
gag. Is it manure? If so, why are
they fertilizing the area during the
winter? Is it a problem with the
sewer lines around that city block?
Perhaps the offensive smell is the
slinky progeny of male and female
trees? Did a small animal die in the

the cause of this. What ' s more, I
would really like lo see something
be done about it. The smell is de-

Student thanks Vanderprov fans for their role To the Editor,
I wish to make a few comments
to all the Vanderfans out there.
First off, we greatly appreciate all
the support that has been given
to us. Last Friday's show was one
of my most favoritest ever. The
Fanderprov crowd was with us
the whole way with suggestions
and input being yelled out all
night long. That just absolutely
made the show. Thank you. To all
you Dykstra gals who came out to
support Amy, thank you loo. And
I 'm kinda sorry for ripping on you
guys, but it's all in good fun you
know. (Plus it 's the only way that I
can vent my j ea lousy of A m y ' s
good looks. She steals all the boys '
glances away f rom me.) And to the
kid that stole my walch pin: my
m o m wants me lo apologize for
calling you a bastard [sic).
Sorry. (But I still want my pin
back! ) And on that note , I will
graceful ly bow out and allow the

Does Hope need parietals? Do we obey them?

I l ' s 12 a.m. on anolher Tuesday
n igh t . You and a c l a s s m a t e a re
working on a presenlalion for Ed
Psych when you hear a knock on
the door. "Midnight ," your R A says.
"Time for your fr iend to leave."
According to ihe Hope Col lege
H a n d b o o k of S e l e c t e d P o l i c i e s ,
Gues l Hours , or parietals, govern
the visiting privileges of m e m b e r s
of the opposi te gender in order to
create a safe, private, and quiet at-
m o s p h e r e in c o l l e g e r e s i d e n c e s .
Members of the opposite sex are not
al lowed to visit rooms between 12
a.m. and 10 a.m. dur ing the week ,
and f rom 2 a.m. to 10 a.m. Friday
and Saturday.
" I t ' s very similar to your home , "
said Amber Garrison, director of Ju-
d ic ia l A f f a i r s . "You o f t e n h a v e
limes when you do not wish to have
guests in your home. In a res idence
hall, apar tment , or cot tage, visita-
tion occurs dur ing c o m m o n visit-
ing limes. This is a lso to respect the
rights of r o o m m a t e s or communi ty
members who may not wish to have
gues t s in thei r c o m m u n i t y at all
hours of the night ."
According to Garr ison, parietals
protect a communi ty within a resi-
dential unit by helping to create an
env i ronment that is r espec t fu l to
everyone. .

essary and that people a lways

"Res iden t s should feel comfor t -
able walking around in their curl-
ers or a ba throbe af te r certain hours
without having to worry about be-
ing seen," Gar r i son said. "It a lso
helps identify persons w h o should
not be present in the hall at all."
Whi le parietals may be des igned
to respect s tuden t s ' r ights, m a n y
students d o n ' r like them. S o m e stu-
dents feel parietals insult their ma-
turity.
% "I think w e ' r e old enough to be
responsible and shouldn ' t have to
have a special hour to leave," said
Meg Davis ( '03) . "We don ' t have
cur fews . W e ' r e not high schoolers
anymore . "
Some students feel that parietals
are too parental in nature.
" W e came to col lege to be away
f r o m our parents," said Rob Bartlett
( ' 03 ) . "Parietals are like having an-
o t h e r paren t the re w a t c h i n g our
back."
Few students would say they love
parietal hours . However , some stu-
dents are rather indifferent to the
rule. S ieve Frey ("04), who lives in
Phe lps and has a g i r l f r i end w h o
lives in Van Vleck, agrees that pa-
r ie ta l s a re a n n o y i n g , but unde r -
stands w h y Hope has them.
"I think [Hope] is trying to up-
hold its bel iefs ," Frey said. "It was

den ts ' rooms, but not the
l iv ing r o o m or k i tchen
areas.
"Everyone that lives
in a cot tage breaks pa-
rietals," Bartlett said.
Col lege East resident
Lee Kiessel ( '03) agrees
that breaking parietals in
apar tments and col lages
is rather easy.
"I don ' l think parietals do
what they ' re intended to |in

" M a y b e in do rms , but in cot-
tages and apar tments i l 's pretty
diff icult to enforce them."
Students c la im that parietals are
easy to break in residence halls as
well. All residents need to do is shut
the door and be quiet.
"[Parietals] are way too easy to
break to even be a rule ," said Kristi
VanderKolk ( '04) .

Il 's a dirty job , but somebody has
to document those w h o break pari-
etals. That responsibility falls on the
shou lde r s of Res ident Ass i s tan t s
f R A s ) . At the beg inn ing of each
year, R A s sign a contrac t s tat ing
that they will uphold Hope Col lege
policy, including parietal hours .
"I feel that if I know [students are
breaking parietal hours], I have to
write it down , " said Phelps RA Pe-
ter Schaa f sma ( '03) . "The Resident
Director takes care of the rest. T h e
R A never charges anyone. We just
document what happened . "
Van Vleck R A Sarah Cau lk says
that RAs are supposed to enforce
parietal hours as much as possible,
but il 's not an R A s j o b to go look-
ing for violators.
"If you k n o w of a boy or hear a
voice a f te r parietal hours, you have
to intervene," said Caulk. "But you
d o n ' t go knocking on doors ."
Both Caulk and Schaa f sma agree
that documentat ion is the worst part
of be ing an RA, especially docu-
ment ing parietal violators.
"You feel like y o u ' r e invading
someone ' s privacy and personal l ife
when you enforce the rules," Caulk
said. " S o m e t i m e s I fee l l ike the

her role as the RA.
" I t ' s so hard when you have to
d o c u m e n t your f r iends and peers,"
Caulk said. "Bu t in that situation, I
u s u a l l y say , ' O K , I ' m not y o u r
fr iend now, I ' m your R A , ' and I just
do the j ob . "
Hav ing the ability to document
your fe l low students puts RAs in a
posi t ion of power.
W h i l e m o s t R A s do their j o b s
well . Caulk acknowledges that oc-
ca s iona l ly s o m e R A s can go on
power trips.
"I think s o m e people lake joy in
the fact that they have power and
can enforce the rules ," Caulk said.
"Bu t I think tha t ' s r idiculous. As an
RA, you ' re not a person with power,
y o u ' r e an authori ty f igure with re-
sponsibili ty. If I see inappropriate
behavior , I have to do something
about it. But I cer ta inly don ' t sit
there with m y ear glued to a door."
Neither Caulk nor Schaafsma feel
that parietal hours are that big of a
deal and can unders tand why Hope
Col lege has them.
" T h e r e a rc t imes w h e n if I ' m
studying with a fr iend and she has

Still. Schaa f sma isn ' t opposed to
l e n g t h e n i n g pa r i e t a l hour s . But
Caulk points out that no matter how
late the hours are pushed back, a
limit will a lways annoy students.
"There has to be a limit some-
where . " Cau lk said. "People will
compla in no mat ter what the limits
are. Hope has tried to find a com-
promise . "

r> SETTING S A I L
Spot l ight edi tor The best? She was two years ahead of me
in school .
I d idn ' t know her well, but she
said a f e w w o r d s 1 k n o w even
now. seven years a f te r they left
her mouth in a burst of f rus t ra-
tion.
" Ju l i e—What are you doing!?"
I w a s r u n n i n g — o r t r y ing to
run—the first 4 0 0 m of m y high
school track career. Apparent ly, I
w a s g o i n g even s l o w e r than I
thought.
It wasn ' t , by any means, a no-
t a b l e t r ack c a r e e r , but it had
worth: in that second, her words
taught me two things about life.
First, the four hundred wasn ' t m y
event . Second , at that m o m e n t ,
running like crazy, I thought I was
trying m y very best; but as m y
ears caught her words , m y con-
science also caught a bit of the
truth. I wasn ' t . I was hiding the
best even f rom mysel f .
I. like everyone , have a fear of
fa i lure . M o r e i m p a c t i n g , h o w -
ever. is the fear to do m y best. I
am scared because , once the best
is taken, what is left? With that
o u n c e of restraint I keep myse l f
safe. With success comes a standard
that mus t then be m e t — n o t jus t
somet imes , but every t ime. T h a t ' s
scary.
We fall into this pattern of fear
o f t en , and s o m e t i m e s don ' t even
know it. We are stuck on the line
be tween failure and doing our best,
teetering, hoping we won ' t fall off .
If we fall off, we fail, and lose a little
bit of l i f e—or that 's what it feels
like. Even if we fall off into doing
our best , then w e ' v e still fallen off
life a little. We have interrupted that
coveted balance in life we set as the
goal to be achieved.

J a c o b c a m e to visi t . He w a s six
months old and more interested in
the box that his new toy c a m e in
than the toy. I marvel led at his abil-
ity to push beyond his limits as he
held himself up on one small fist
while the other hand grabbed for the
top of the box. For some reason, he
wanted it more tan anything, but he
c o u l d n ' t q u i t e r e a c h it. He jus t
cou ldn ' t .
S tanding above him, I could see
a l i t t le p i ece of m a g i c that he
cou ldn ' t : he wasn ' t big enough or
strong enough. Yet. In less than a
month, he would be.
His f ace turned red whi le his
arm squi rmed uselessly in the air.
There was so much frustration, but
he k n e w he mus t try. A n d . in a
matter of days, one piling on an-
other as days jus t seem to do, the
box would fall over and all his e f -
fort , useless as it initially seemed,
would be worth it.
He is now maybe a year old. but
I admire him already. T h e fear , it
doesn ' t matter to him.
T h e success, he won ' t even re-
member it. But as the days pile up
to mounta ins , he will r e m e m b e r
the act of doing his best.
The act of a lack of fear. T h e act
that moves our lives past the sanely
boring into the world of greatness,
r ichness, possibility.
As I leave the Anchor I will grab
t enac ious ly at that box l ike m y
little cousin because, w h o knows ,
one day it just might fall over.
O n e day it just might be full of
success.

found herself in the role of Ot tavia .
the rejected empress of R o m e in the
opera "The Coronat ion of Poppea"
presented by the Curt is Institute of
Music .
' T h i s isn't my first major role but
it is in a full length foreign language
because this opera is in Italian and
it look a long t ime to learn and to
translate all that I have to say," said
Arwady.
T h e opera, a tragic love story, is
one of the oldest wr i t ten operas ,
hav ing premiered in 1642.
"I t ' s not exactly your toe-tapper."
A r w a d y said. " I t ' s a lot of ear ly
music. . . i t 's not your
t rad i t iona l big or-
chestra in the pi ts ."
Af te r graduat ing,
A r w a d y w e n t to
Curt is to be one of
26 s i n g e r s in the
opera program. T h e

one at the institute is A r w a d y o n a m e r i t - b a s e d
fu l l - t ime scho la r sh ip . A r w a d y is
currently working on her mas t e r ' s
degree.
" I ' l l stay here at Curt is for prob-
ably three years and comple te m y
Master ' s and probably go into some
y o u n g artist p rogram s o m e w h e r e
around the world perhaps." she said.
During most of her t ime at Curtis.
Arwady sings.
"Curt is is not exact ly academic.
It d o e s n ' t really require that I do
m u c h more for my Mas te r ' s than
eat. sleep, slay well, and sing, which
is f i n e — I a m c o o l w i t h t h a t , "
Arwady said.
Arwady uses this extra t ime to do
all the reading she didn ' t have lime
to do at Hope. Her l ife at Curt is in
Philadelphia isn't the same as it was
at Hope in some ways, and in oth-
ers, it is similar.
"I t ' s very d i f ferent than Hope in
thai I am in a big city. I t ' s s imilar in
the fact that i t ' s really really small
so I know everyone. There
a re only 168 s tudents at
Cur t i s , " she said. " H o p e
g a v e m e a nice bas i s in
s i n g i n g a n d 3 D o p e r a

the f e e l i n g of b e i n g on
s tage ."
Arwady does, however ,
carry a piece of Hope with
her.
" T h e E n g l i s h d e p a r t -
ment more than anything
else taught me happiness ."
Her next pe r fo rmance will be in
Ka lamazoo at Chenery Audi tor ium

"It was nice to play at home, w e
practice on it e v e r y d a y " said cen -

used to the sounds, and the w a y the
ball bounces . You spend 25 hours
there a week and it 's like h o m e . "

"They were in a zone defense , so
we knew we needed some outside
shoot ing to get things go ing , " said
Grotenhuis . "I was just open on the
wing so I shot it. They seemed like
pretty big shots because it may have
shif ted the m o m e n t u m a little go-

T h e F ly ing Du tch car r ied that
m o m e n t u m into the second half to
take both the game and the tourna-
