Off-campus party leads to arrests, citations J O D I M C F A R L A N D campusbeat edi tor
Campus thefts continue 'Use common sense,'Terpstra warns

Three students were arrested and 28 were cited with tickets by the Holland Police De-partment at an of f -campus party Saturday night.
Six Holland police cars arrived with lights flashing at the off-campus party at 34 E. 15th St., dubbed the "Poor House " at about 11:30 p.m. after two plain clothes officers entered the premises and reported that alco-hol was being sold to minors, said Holland Police Department Captain Paul Heideman.
Officers removed a keg from the house and arrested three students for illegally sell-ing alcohol. The other 28 cited were written appearance tickets for "frequenting a house of ill repute."
"That means that you are in a place where there is illegal activity " Heideman said. It also means that the 28 students to receive citations will have to appear in court for charges of a minor infraction.
About six to seven citations for a party is the average, he said. "(28 tickets) is more than average, but at most parties the number of people is not usually this big."
Heideman estimates that over 100 people were in attendance at the party. The three stu-dents facing felony charges will appear be-fore the prosecutor in the Ottawa County Dis-trict Court next Tuesday.
Citations and arrests of some members of the m e n ' s and w o m e n ' s swim t e a m s prompted coach John Patnott to call a special meeting with members of the teams Sunday night. The majority of the party's attendants were not on the swim teams, Patnott said.
The citations and arrests have left some questioning how the College's Drug and Al-cohol Policy for athletes may come into play in this situation.
" I 'm not concerned about image, but I want our athletes respected for how hard they work," Patnott said. The men ' s team was sec-

Common sense and the shuttle vans are the best way to deter being a victim of campus crime, said Duane Terpstra, assistant director of Public Safety.
A lack of student use of the shuttle vans and a rash of bicycle and car stereo thefts have Public Safety off ic ia ls warning students be aware.
The college's two vans are getting calls for an average of only 20 escorts a night, well be-low last year's average of 80, according to dis-patch supervisor John Havenaar ( '96). The num-bers are always higher when the weather cools, however, Havenaar said.
"A simple walk across campus is not the smartest thing to do," Terpstra said. "Most people are walking, but we prefer that they take the vans."
The vans run regularly from college-owned building to college-owned building, a policy introduced last year that slopped direct college

escort to off-campus parties in the neigh-borhood surrounding campus.
"If somebody wants an escort to their private residence, they can take an escort to the nearest col lege-owned building," Terpstra said.
The shuttle vans are on the job from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. seven days a week, and stu-dents can call X7177 for pick-up.

Core revamp proposal nears end A M Y V I V I O staff repor te r
A proposal to reshape the current, 57-credit core curriculum to 50 credits should be put on the table for consideration by the Academic Af-fairs Board by next semester, said English pro-fessor William Reynolds, a member of the re-structuring committee.
Incoming students for the 1997-98 school year may be required to take a combination of two- and four-credit classes to fulfill the liberal arts requirement at Hope. Present courses are b a s e d on the t h r e e -credit standard.
"We hope to create a curriculum in which students are more active and more f o c u s e d in the i r w o r k , " sa id Charles Green, chair of the commitee and head of the Frost Research Center.
The proposal could add several new courses to core requirements. A first-year seminar and performing arts class may be among the addi-tions.
Two religion classes could alter the way Hope students fulfill the religion section of the core. Introduction to Christianity and a course about faith and learning are in the proposal. Stu-
We hope to create a cur-riculum in which students

dents are now able to choose their religion
courses from a variety of perspectives. Core requirements have not been changed
since the 1978-79 academic year. The movement to modify Hope 's general education require-ments has been underway since 1990, and the Committee to Restructure the Core Curriculum was formed in the spring of 1992.
The proposal states that "while our students are exposed to many excellent and important ideas under the current curriculum, they do not have the time or the opportunity to explore those ideas in sufficient depth."
Nine faculty and two students make up the restructuring committee, which hopes to give its f inal report by winter break.
T h e c o m m i t t e e wants to discourage stu-dents from taking core courses just to fulfill the requirements, and to en-courage them to become more actively involved in their educations. Green said.
The first-year semi-nar, a two-credit course,
will be taught by faculty throughout the college. The instructors' goal would be "to provide an intellectual transition into Hope College." The topics will vary, however, and a professor who teaches this seminar will serve as an introduc-tory academic advisor for the 20 or fewer stu-

A fire truck f rom the Holland

a signall ing alarm at Van Vleck

that it was a false alarm.
T h e fire detector in resident

department to tell them that the
alarm was false, but the truck was
already en route. It arrived at the
scene around 8:30 p.m.
T h i s is the f i f th t ime that
the alarm has cried wolf since the

" I t ' s been going off all sum-

it went off at 1:30 in the morn-

seventh annual Multiple Sclerosis
Dance enjoyed greater success than
last year in terms of both attendence
and money raised.

many students to follow the sound
of music to find this year 's dance
Friday night. Posters named both
the Kletz and the Maas Center as
locations for the event.
This year approximately 260
Hope s tudents c rammed into the
Maas Auditorium to have fun while
benefiting a worthwhile cause. Only
abou t 100 p e o p l e a t t e n d e d the
dance last year.
The $2 door charge added up
to big bucks for its sponsors, the
Centurian Fraternity and the Kappa
Delta Chi Sorority, who cashed in
at $515 to donate to the Multiple
Sclerosis Society of Grand Rapids.
Last year 's event brought in about
$321. Members of the Centur ian
Fraternity were impressed with the
outcome this year.
"This was quite an improve-
ment from last year 's dance," said
Ross Vrieze ( '97) , a member of the
Centurian Fraternity.
Members of both the fraternity
and soroity differed on the location,
but after much debate the location
was established in the Maas.

Having classes on Labor Day
is "not a new p h e n o m e n o n , " ac-
cording to registrar Jon Huisken. In
fact, Hope has had classes on La-
bor Day for 15 years.
Many new students and faculty
may wonder at the break away f rom
the " d a y - o f f mentality of the na-
tional hol iday. They are just not
used to this tradition, and may not
understand the reasoning behind it,
Huisken said.
In organizing the school calen-
dar, 70 class days excluding exams
are needed. T h e registrar 's o f f ice
tries to make sure that a break falls
during everv third of the semester.
In order to be able to do this,
they have to make some " t rade-
offs ." If there weren ' t c lasses on
Labor Day, s tudents and facul ty
would have class on one of the days
of fall break, which currently can-
cels classes for three days.
"Not everyone has classes on
Labor Day, but not everyone has a
fall break," Huisken said.
And Hope is not alone in this
t ime of trial. Other schools in the

Green emphasized that "An In-
t roduct ion to the Chr is t ian Reli-
g i o n " is not i n t e n d e d a s an
evangalistic tool. According to the
proposal, it will "introduce students
to the academic study of religion"
and provide them with "a college-
level unders tand ing of Chr is t ian
history, theology, and practice."
"Faith and Learning" is a two-
credit course designed to encourage
students to explore their faith and
incorporate it in all aspects of col-
lege life. It would also prepare them
for the "Senior Seminar ," which
would also be worth two credits.
The cultural heritage, require-
ment would be fulfilled with two in-
terdisciplinary courses combining
philosophy, literature, and history.
All students would also be required
to take a performing arts course in
theater , wr i t ing , dance , or some
other medium. Revisions to the proposal will
continue until it is handed over to
the Academic Affairs Board, possi-
bly as soon as December.
Study to evaluate pledging process Editor's note: The coniinualion of this article was inadvertantly omit-ted from last week's Anchor. The story appears this week in full. We

J O D I M C FAR L A N D c a m p u s b e a t ed i to r
T h e H o p e c o m m u n i t y wai t s
with bated breath for the published
f indings of a summer of in-depth
interviews about campus pledging
practices. The study will be released
to the Campus Life Board (CLB)
by the end of September.
A s ix -member facul ty inter-
v i ewing pane l appo in t ed by the
C L B began conducting confidential
interviews of over 100 actives, re-
cent p l edges , de -ac t ives , Greek
alumni, advisors and others in May.
"Our aim is to focus on how
people treat each other at the Col-
lege," Allis said. "It is not to weaken
the G r e e k s y s t e m or e l i m i n a t e
pledging." Prior to the start of the inter-
views, each of Hope ' s six fraterni-
ties and six sororities were asked to
give the board a copy of their pledg-
ing schedule f rom last spring.
T h e r e q u e s t w a s met w i th
"good cooperation from most of the
organizations," Allis said.
" T h e r e a re still s o m e w i th
whom the question remains open,"
he said. The interviewing panel is seri-
ous about its promise of confiden-
tiality, and will not release names
of any organization still withhold-
ing. "One of the things we ' re try-
ing to do is build a working rela-
tionship with the organizations," he
said. "We take our vow of privacy
and confidentiality very seriously,
b e c a u s e w e w a n t to work with
Greeks throughout this process."
T h e in te rv iewing panel and
heads of Greek organizations met
with a lawyer prior to the start of
the interviews to agree upon condi-
t ions for the way they should be
held. T h e final study will not name
names of those interviewed, or their
sorority or fraternity. Off icers of
Greek organizat ions should have
copies of the study's rough draft this
week, and can help make revisions.
Dorian sorority member Laura
P e c h t a (*96) w a s one o f t hose
actives interviewed that had a posi-
tive exper ience. In terviews were
conducted by two members of the
panel. "They just asked quest ions,"
she said. "They were serious but 1
didn't feel they were accusatory or
anything." Pechta was told that she could
review and clarify her responses to
the detailed questions. "They were
really just trying to gather informa-
tion." T h e informat ion will be the
bas i s for r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s fo r
change in the pledging process, said
Jim Allis, C L B chair. " N e i t h e r the C a m p u s L i f e
board nor this team of interviewers
has a p r e - s e t a g e n d a of w h a t
changes will c o m e about ," All is
said. "We hope w e can help the
Greeks realize some of the great
potential we see in them."
In an effort to cooperate with
the panel, Cosmopoli tan Fraternity
member Peter Payette ( ' 96 ) volun-
teered to interview.
"It w a s an open e x c h a n g e , "
Payette said. He said that he has his
doubts about how the process for
change can work, however. "I don ' t
think the school r ecogn izes that
change has to come f rom within,"
he said. T h e C L B does recognize
the need for open communicat ion
and cooperation with Greeks.
"We very much want to have
the Greeks involved in the study and
whatever happens after the study,"
Allis said. "People are being respected at
this point in time, and their is no
threat to Greeks at all," said Kori
Foster ( '96) , president of the Pan
Hellenic board, a governing body
for sororities, and a member of the
Sigma Iota Beta (SIB) Sorority.
A letter sent to G r e e k s last
spring said that failure to cooperate
w i th the C L B c o u l d r e su l t in
thehalting of pledging in 1996, an
event that would lead to the even-
tual extinction of the Greek system.
Some Greeks still feel uncom-
for table with the process. "I feel
very under-the-gun, like they are
ho ld ing m y f ra te rn i ty hos t age , "
Payette said. Whi le some Greeks are con-
cerned, Foster said that this is natu-
ral. "Anytime someone questions
what they are doing it may make
them uneasy, but I hope this will be
a positive thing," she said.
After the findings are presented
to the C L B and President Jacobson,
the ad hoc commit tee will get to
work on recommendations based on
the f indings. Thei r recommenda-
tions should b e submitted by the
end of the fall semester "so that
Greeks will have time to develop
their p l edg ing p rog rams fo r the
spring," Allis said. About 20 percent of women
and 10 percent of men at Hope are
active in Greek organizations today.

fact, the "exper ts" on the right s ide of the aisle
have solved m a n y of the i ssues f ac ing our
nation, that l iberals are incapable of so lv ing
with reality based on responsibil i ty.
T h e conservat ive "exper t s " have found
ways to feed the hundreds of thousands of

T h e true beauty of this fo rmula der ives
f r o m the fact that b ig bus iness wou ld be pro-
tected , and unneeded mili tary programs, like
* the Strategic Defense Initiative, or Star Wars,
would be given m o r e money.
Cynicism aside, ba lancing the budget on
the back of the poor is no longer just a cli-
che. P rog rams like Head Start and WIC, with
all of their p roven e c o n o m i c and scient i f ic
benefi ts , are p laced on the Republ ican c hop -
ping block.
I cannot say that every wel fa re p rogram
is untouched by f r aud , but many p rog rams
do work. T h e idea of we l f a r e r e fo rm is not
entirely "evi l , " but w h e n the word " r e f o r m "
b e c o m e s s y n o n y m o u s w i t h t h e p h r a s e
"e l iminat ion of all cos t s , " our society has
taken a U-turn f r o m our religious and moral
responsibil i ty.
True wel fa re re form must include ad-
equate child care so that famil ies can worry
about jobs instead of dirty diapers. W h y is
it cons idered healthy for a weal thy single
mother to stay at h o m e with a child, but lazy
for an economical ly d isadvantaged mother
to stay at home with young chi ldren?
Bet ter means of child support enforce-
ment need to be established to force the thou-
sands of most ly dead-beat fa thers to assist
in paying the expenses of their own children.
We need to cont inue to of fer job exper ience
programs, like Job Corps, to place disadvan-
taged youth into pay ing and learning envi-
ronments .
T h e m i n i m u m w a g e needs to be in-
creased to fit the purchas ing power that it
w a s intended to have. T h e cost of l iving in-
creases each year, so w h y can ' t w e set a wage
scale somewha t representative of that real-
ity?
T h e chi ldren, women , and men trapped
in the cyc les of poverty are everyone ' s con-
cern. Welfare p rograms intended to break
this cycle are not on ly beneficial for those
individuals , they are vital to the economic
and moral health of our nation.
If even one person goes to bed malnour-
ished because of cyclical poverty then our
nation is malnour i shed . The strength of the
nation can be measured in the number of
home le s s , hungry and oppres sed persons
that nation has and not by how many bil-
l ionaires it p roduces .
Hopefu l ly it will be poss ib le fo r our
conservat ive exper ts on the Hill to employ
the bi l l ions of dol lars taken f rom poverty
stricken chi ldren and used to fund Star Wars
for destroying not nuclear weapons , but also
our growing cal lousness and insensitivity to-
w a r d s social injust ice.

T h e poverty rate today is h igher than it
was thirty years ago, before the War on Pov-

T h e Amer ican publ ic does not need to be

T h e wel fa re state a l lows bureaucra ts to

In order to accompl ish these goals, the
current wel fa re system must be replaced. It is

be replaced with a sys tem that e m p h a s i z e s

Republ icans des igned special provis ions

For e x a m p l e , the C o n t r a c t ' s Persona l

Af te r thirty years of spend ing $ 5 trillion

A r e m i n d e r f r o m M o m : Use c o m m o n sense
"Honey, cover up the tuna fish before you put it back
it in the refrigerator." "Sweetheart , take a sweater with you before you
leave the house." "Here ' s a little fun money. Remember. . .your father
wouldn ' t want you to spend it all in one place."
By the time we hit twentysomething, most of us have
the lessons M o m spent years ingraining into our psyche
finally resigned to automatic pilot. Though we may have
ignored her advice for years, we 've finally learned the
hard way that unless you want pink clothes it 's best to
separate the whites and the darks. We know bugs come
into the house through open back doors and if you wear
your good leather shoes in the r a in—no matter how
skilled you are at dodging puddles—you ' l l wreck them.
If only we had listened the first t ime.
So w h e n D u a n e Terpst ra , Ass is tan t Direc tor of
Public Safety, tells us to remember to chain up our bikes
with a Krypton U-shaped lock and call the shuttle van
for a lift during the evening hours, we should take his
advice. Another t idbi t—because speakers in the back
of cars attract stereo thieves, remove them, he says. The
Hope College campus is no war zone, but please, he
says, use your c o m m o n sense. Take Duane ' s advice to heart. Call the van or walk
in groups after dark. Lock your bike. Be careful with
your car stereo. Nobody wants to learn these lessons
first hand. Use your c o m m o n sense and M o m will be
proud.

your voice. Student says officials should mind their own business
Dear Editor,
I am not convinced that close
enough attention has been paid to
the events that occurred on 15th
Street Saturday night, September
2nd . As you may know a social
gathering was busted up by the long
arm of the law. It was held by the
Holland Police that due to the pres-
ence of alcohol on the premises, and
suspicion that beer was being sold
to m i n o r s , they had " p r o b a b l e
cause" to enter the house. They pro-
ceeded to write several tickets and
made one arrest.
I do not wish to examine the
general criticisms of this issue nor
of the Holland Police Department,
such as the number of officers in-
volved, or the question of "Do we
need to bust everyone who has a
party in college?" There are two is-
sues which I find more critical. One
of these has to do with our institu-
tion, the other has to do with the law
of our land.
I find Hope College 's policy
towards of f -campus activities quiet
questionable. As you may know the
College will not send transportation
to locations off-campus to pick up
students. However, I saw a Public
Safety officer arrive on the scene a
few minutes after the Holland Po-
lice showed up. The College is hold-
ing a double standard. Hope will not
recognize a party as an event asso-
ciated with the Co l l ege when it
c o m e s to p r o v i d i n g a s a f e w a y
home for people who might end up
stranded and alone. However, when
there is a "bust," they see some need
to be involved. In my mind this
draws into question our s choo l ' s
obligation to care for A L L it 's stu-
dents in an unbiased manner.
More serious than this, how-
eve r is the c h a r g e w h i c h w a s
b rough t aga ins t s t u d e n t s in the
house when the police arrived. I saw
a ticket that charged the issue with
" f r equen t ing a house of i l l - fame
(party)." How can you charge some-
one with being in a building? And
why is that building of " i l l - fame?"
Because you say so? What is truly
humorous is that people w h o lived
there were charged with the same.
Do they need to find a new place to
live? Is Big Brother going to come
crashing through the front door in
the middle of the night, rip them out
of bed and cite them again? What
about the next people who rent the
place, will they be guilty of violat-
ing the law? Perhaps the landlord
should consider pressing charges
against the city for slander.
Although I do find this quite
silly and trivial, I see a disturbing
issue within. What has happened
here is our government has stepped
outside of the boundaries set by our
founding fathers and acted against
the people. They have made a moral
judgement and ticketed people for
being in violation of their morals,
not the law. When I look up the
world " i l l" in the dictionary I see
the words "evil" and "bad" used to
define it. They have placed a moral
value on an inanimate object, quali-
fied it with the word "party," which
has no value in and of itself, and
cited people for being associated
with it. They are in direct violation
of the separa t ion of Church and
State and our right to liberty when
they try to say that certain activi-
ties make certain places or people
good or bad.
I think that anyone who pro-
c la ims to b e Christ ian should be
concerned with the outcome of this
event. The government using moral
standards, rather than laws, to al-
lege c h a r g e s aga ins t a g roup of
people w h o are involved in activi-
ties they don ' t approve is nothing
shor t of persecu t ion . Christ w a s
quite clear that this was the cost of
following Him. To see it being done
to A N Y O N E in the land of the f ree
by those people who are supposed
to guard against it is certainly an
omen.
Sincerely,
Peter Payet te ( ' 96 )

This week's l o s e r Ugly Kid Joe's newesl release Menacc to Sobriety is a complete menace to music. Tracks

The current Knickerbocker flick is a sure win for those who admire an endearing and enriching tragi-comedy featuring the trials and tribulations of the familial scene. Hotel Sorrento presents a sometimes humorous, sometimes witty and sometimes moving depiction of three sisters and their attempts at reconciliation. The movie is strangely realistic and equally entertaining. It shows tonite and tomorrow nite 7 & 9:15 p.m.

Jamal joked that he felt, "...like a

had no problem relating to college
life. Laughing about "$3,000 text

Lincoln across f rom the Holland

F o r m a l l y T h e P u b , F a u s t i
Pazool 's has been newly renovated
into a take-your-date-to-dinner-or-
friend-to-lunch kind of joint. When
you first enter the restaurant you
may be deceived to believe that it
is a one room dining area.
If you venture to the back of
the restaurant there is private din-
ing where Hope students can feel
at home. Banners and pennants rep-
resenting our school line the walls.
This room of the restaurant can be
used for private parties as large as
thirty.
Take a closer look at the bar
located in the main dining room
where thousands of shiny pennies
cover the top. If you can guess how
many faces of Lincoln are on the
bar within 100, you win a free glass
of pop (for those 21 and over, the
prize is one f ree shot).
Fausti Pazool ' s offers a variety
of good food. Entrees range f rom a
southwestern flair to the All-Ameri-
can burger . Try the zes ty " C l u b
Sub," the tempting "Grilled Ham
and Swiss," or the "Louis 14th,"
shaved prime beef, grilled Russian
rye bread served with au jus.
Any Fausti Pazool ' s waitress
will recommend the "Sir Walter,"
with prime rib of beef, Monterey
Jack cheese , sauteed on ions and
French dressing all served on an
onion roll. Another favorite is the
Wet Burrito which is served with
meal and beans; while the "Fausti
Bu rge r " a l so t emp t s the tummy,
topped with Colby cheese, Cana-
dian bacon, and sauteed onions.
The menu of fers a variety of
appetizers, salads, and desserts. If
you are 21 or over, Fausti Pazool 's
offers a range of domest ic and im-
ported wines and beers.
M e a l s r a n g e f r o m $2.50 to
$6.95 with f ree refills on pop. If you
are looking for a restaurant with
good atmosphere, prices, service,
and f o o d , then c o n s i d e r Fausti
Pazool 's for your next lunch or din-
ner date.

T h e Smi thsonian Institute led
a tour of 30 teachers and o thers in-
terested in nuclear power on the trail
taken by the creators of this f a m o u s
weapon . Spurred by both p ro fes -
sional and personal intrest, people
c a m e f r o m all over the count ry to
visit the missi le base .
From travel ing the back roads
and see ing the s i te in its or ig ina l
s ta te , to a r r i v ing at the t ime the
original scientists arrived, the g roup
fo l lowed each s tep in comple te de-
tail. A l though they did not set off
an actual b o m b , people on the tour
could get a feel for the thoughts and
mind-se ts of the or iginal sc ient is ts
on that day.
" I tried to get to the t hough t s
that they had ," sa id Wi l l i ams . "I
wan ted to k n o w w h a t they w e r e
t h i n k i n g w h e n they c r e a t e d t h i s

Police led smal l caravans d o w n
a 17 mile long road to the Trini ty
Site w h e r e people gathered to think
quiet ly about the place.
" I t w a s a s o l e m n and qu ie t
t ime," Wil l iams said. "Peop le came,
walked a round, d iscussed fee l ings ,
and drove home . "
Not all vis i tors w e r e quiet and
respec t fu l . O n e m a n protested the
use of the word Trini ty on a monu-
ment that w a s in r e m e m b r a n c e of
destruction. He ran up to the site and
shouted ant i -weapon c o m m e n t s and
then d o w s e d the m o n u m e n t with
symbol i c blood. Mili tary personal
wrest led him to the ground, hand-
c u f f e d him and led him away.
A total of 6 ,000 people visited
the site on July 16 to re-
m e m b e r the even t and
talk with exper ts .
"Trini ty Site is in a
bowl of mounta ins , with

Wil l iams is constant ly reading
and updat ing his mind with new in-
format ion that will help him better
u n d e r s t a n d n u c l e a r
power.
Not on ly is Wil l -
iams tough on educat-
ing h imsel f , but he also
pushes s tuden t s to be
tough on themselves . "I
am cons t an t l y t e l l i ng
m y s t u d e n t s to a s k
q u e s t i o n s , " W i l l i a m s
said. " W h y are you do-
W i l l i a m s ing this research? What
is go ing to be the end resul t?"
O n e w a y to teach this idea to
his s tuden t s is t h rough the a tom
b o m b . " E v e r y o n e q u e s t i o n s
whether or not it was 4 morally right '
to drop the bomb," Wi l l iams said.
"What people really should be won-
dering is if the scientis ts who cre-
ated the bomb knew what they were
doing and how their work would be
used."
Wil l iams feels that some stu-
dents today do not think about the
e n d r e s u l t w h e n w o r k i n g o n a
project . "S tuden t s need to educate
t h e m s e l v e s b e f o r e c r e a t i n g a
project," Wil l iams said. "They need
to quest ion the ou tcome and if it
will be posit ive or negat ive ."
In a socie ty that has a l w a y s
quest ioned values, Wil l iams wants
s tudents to looks at the morali ty of
issues.
"Mora l educat ion is very im-
portant ." Wi l l iams said. " I t ' s some-
thing that should be taught and stu-
dents should look at."
A c c o r d i n g to W i l l i a m s , the
best w a y to achieve open discussion
is by educat ing the publ ic . "People
need to have openness in projec ts ,"
Wi l l iams said. "There needs to be
no more secrets ."

The arrests and citat ions

their first team meeting, so the

not been s igned, Patnott said.

Several mountain bikes

About 60 to 70 b ikes were
stolen on c a m p u s last year ,
Terpstra said.

Veteran club starts season with a bang
Women sweep pair of weekend games
GLYM WILL IAMS staff r e p o r t e r
Hope C o l l e g e ' s cons is ten t ly
successful women ' s soccer program
launched the 1995 season with two
joyous victories last weekend.
The second game of the gruel-
ing weekend opener was the first
home game of the season against
Wheaton College of Illinois. T h e
Flying Dutch ran away with the vic-
tory practically unscathed, 2-1.
Members of the freshman class
made their presence felt early as a
corner kick from Tina Gill ( '99) was
head smacked in by Lindsay Will-
iams ( '99) with 34:28 remaining in
the first half.
W h e a t o n ' s on ly goa l of the
game came late in the first half off
a penalty kick that s temmed from a
controversial call by the official .
Tracy Phelps ( ' 97 ) moved to
within four goals of the Hope Col-
lege all-time w o m e n ' s soccer scor-
ing record as she knocked a goal in
straight-away center off a pass f rom
Gill. Once again , it appea r s that
Phelps will be the resident record
breaker for the team, as she has been
in the past.
In her f reshman year, Phelps
broke the record for goals in a sea-
son with 13, and then cracked her
own mark as a sophomore , with 14
h a m m e r s . P h e l p s a l s o led the
Michigan intercollegiate Athlet ic
Association last year with eight as-
sists.
T h e w o m e n ' s soccer team is
expecting much out of this season,
coming off a Hope record 11 win
season last fall, fourth in the com-
petitive MIAA. The Flying Dutch
are returning 11 letter-winners, in-
cluding the top three scorers.
The most intriguing quality of
this year's women ' s soccer program
is the mixture of youth and experi-
ence, as the roster consists of three
seniors , six jun iors , four sopho-
mores , and an unprecedented 13
f reshmen. The squad ' s seniors in-
c l u d e capta in Kim Nolan , Mari
K i s s i n g e r , and S h e l l y K u y e r s .
Nolan had eight goals last season,
which upped her career total to 17.
In addition to Phelps, the jun-
ior class of w o m e n ' s soccer play-
ers is quite impressive, as Lauren
O ' D o w d ( ' 97 ) returns after a tre-
mendous seven goal season last fall.
Also back for their third year are
Leah M c A l p i n e ( ' 9 7 ) and Trish
Voss ( ' 97 ) . Jo in ing the team are
la te-comers Susan Looman ( ' 9 7 )
and Ceci LaBarge ( ' 97 ) . Sopho-
mores returning are Beth Hopma,
Lindsay Matheny, Meg Hopkins ,
Lisa Knott.
The Flying Dutch ' s next game
will be this weekend in the Wooster,
Ohio, Tournament, where Hope will
face Wooster on Friday night and
then Kenyon College on Saturday.
The next home game for this mighty
force of a soccer team will be on

Dutchmen prepare to defend title
GLYN W I L L I A M S staff r e p o r t e r
Last fal l ' s squad of s tunning
heroes, the men ' s soccer team, has
a bumpy uphill road to drive up this
season, as they lost their s tar t ing
players to graduation last May. Ev-
eryone in the Michigan Intercolle-
giate Athletic Association, and the
Great Lakes Region for that mat-
ter, will be gunning to steal their
crown and make them cry.
Last season 's Hope record 16
wins was not exactly a fluke, as the
Flying Dutchmen ' s record over the
last three years has been 45-9-5.
However , f ew expec ted H o p e to
k n o c k o f f top s e e d e d O h i o -
Wes leyan last fall in that heart-
thumping exuberance of passionate
play by the men ' s team.
Leading the way for the Dutch-
men is goal-keeper Aaron Angeli
( ' 96 ) and his Air Jordan-esque play.
Eighteen lettermen return to prove
their love for soccer and more im-
portantly Hope College, including
five seniors, five juniors, and eight
sophomores .
Leading the team as the cap-
t a i n s t h i s y e a r a r e N a t h a n
K r o n e w e t t e r ( ' 9 6 ) a n d Paul
Rosenbrook ( '96) . Other solid-gold
seniors for the Dutchmen are Tyler
Will iams and Jason Currie.
Returning juniors include John
Conlon , Matt Her r iman , George
Landol t , Kevin Lewis , and Josh
Meersma. Sophomores returning
are Chris Riker, Aaron Dean, Ryan
Groulx , Chris D o m b r o w s k i , J im
Becher, Steven Coy, P.J. Huizenga,
and Blair Richards.
Rosenbrook and Conlon were
on the All-MIAA first team last sea-
son, while Williams was on the All-
M I A A s e c o n d t e a m . C o n l o n ,
R o s e n b r o o k , and A n g e l i w e r e
nominated to the All-Region team.
Hope's next home game will be
this Fr iday a f t e r n o o n at 4 p . m .
against Wooster of Ohio, and then
on Saturday vs. Wheaton. The Fly-
ing D u t c h m e n ' s h o m e M I A A
opener will be on Saturday, Septem-
ber 16, against rival Calvin College.
Cross runners take it out on rivals GREG PAPLAWSKY sports edi tor
I do run, run, run. I do run, run.
That could easily become the
theme song for the cross country
teams at Hope College. Cross coun-
try is a sport that is all about run-
ning, and running, and running, and
running fast, and Hope teams show
promise in this category for the up-
coming season.
The women ' s team will be thin
on veterans this year as a host of
freshmen come in to try to charge
the team into contention. T h e men ' s
team is in slightly better shape in
terms of veteran leadership as they
return the nucleus of last year 's sec-
ond place squad.
Gett ing ready for the season is
truly a team thing, with the men and
women practicing and doing team
bond ing act ivi t ies together . O n e
such pre-season activity included a
co-ed trip to Cranhill Camp, a place
where the teams could get to know
each o the r and c o m e c loser to-
gether. Once the bonding was over the
hard work began.
"We run about seven miles a
day , " sa id t e a m c a p t a i n M a r i e
Matchet t ( ' 9 7 ) . " S o m e t i m e s w e
have two practices a day." The men
and w o m e n ' s teams also practice
together with the men sometimes
running a little farther because their
meet races are longer.
The twist of having both an A
and a B team is new to the cross
country squad this year. The sheer
numbers of people running this
year necessitated breaking up into
two teams. Splitting up the squad
gives more people a chance to be
the top runners at a meet. The in-
terest in the sport bodes well for the
future of cross country at Hope.
If all pieces of the puzzle fall
into place, Hope should be able to
run over would be opposition in the
chase for the largest square of cake
in the MIAA.
HOPE SPORTS ON THE ROAD...
Volleyball-Hope opened up
its season at the Christian Col-
lege Invitational at Calvin Col-

decently, posting 3-2 record in
the tournament. Hope defeated
Messiah College, Groshen, and
Trinity Christia College.

With a positive attitude, out-
standing athletic ability and much
enthusiasm, Beth Hoezee ( '96) is
the ideal leader for Hope ' s volley-
ball team. Hoezee w a s first introduced to
volleyball at the age of seven by her
two older sisters w h o also play. "I
was constantly outs ide hitting the
ball to my sisters or against the wall.
1 would even g o to practice with
them and just hit."
All this practice paid off last
year when she was named to the
Al l -MIAA volleyball team.

plans to go into corporate fi tness
where she ' l l be able to use not only
her knowledge of fitness and health,
but also her "people ski l ls" and her
posit ive attitude to help motivate
people to exercise.

Haworth in the Human Resources
Department . "I feel like I 'm in the
real world, yet still have the ' f u n '
of college. Its also great to have a
little extra m o n e y " Hoezee said.
Hoezee also enjoys spending
time with her fr iends and family.
She has five nieces and nephews
who frequent her games.
Probably one of Hoezee 's best
volleyball experiences was last year
when Hope won the G L C A tourna-
ment, beating Kalamazoo twice. "It
was a total rush, and so much fun,"
Hoezee said. "We totally crushed
them. That ranked right up there in
my most memorable experiences."
This year Hoezee c la ims that
her ultimate team goal is to be part
of a league and division champion-
ship team, but she also has other
goals set for herself.
"For me, showing underclass-
men that you have to work hard is a
goal. As team captain I want to be
someone they can kind of look-up
to. I think it's also really important
for me to gel to know everyone on
the team and to be personable."
" I ' m also trying to work on my
hitting and my setting so I can be a
better all-around player. This is my
last year and I want to be the best I
can be."
