Dutchmen trump rival Knights

Travis Spaman ('05) powers over Calvins' Joel Hoekstra (#52) for two of his 11 points in Hope's 96-75 victory over the Knights on Saturday. Hope led the scoreboard for the entire game by as large a margin as 21 points. The game was played in front of a full house at the Holland Civic Center. This victory brought the Dutchmen's home record against Calvin to 30-24. The men's and women's JV also beat Calvin

75 tr iumph in front of a sell-out

crowd at the Holland Civic Center

Saturday afternoon. The crowd of 2,724 witnessed just

how good the Dutchmen really are. A slam dunk by Kyle Kleersnyder

got the Hope fans going crazy. How-ever, the Knights answered with a

three-point play by senior forward

Chris Prins. Prins had 11 points on

the day and junior Dan Aultman led the way for the Knights with 12

points. Hope closed out the first half on a 12-4 run as Matt Taylor ( '04)

Snowstorm slows but doesn't close campus Angle Dykhuis EDITOR- IN-CHIEF

After last week 's "mild" snow in Holland, yesterday's storm produced several inches of

lake-effect precipitation, causing Hope College

to be temporarily snowed in. As winds of up to 35 mph assaulted the cam-

pus, students, faculty and staff stayed indoors

as much as possible. While classes were not

cancelled, unplowed and unshoveled pathways served as a deterrent for unnecessary trips out-

side for pedestrians on campus.

Single-digit temperatures, subzero windchills and multiple inches of snow struck West Michi-

gan communities yesterday. The on-campus shuttle-van service usually

provided by Campus Safety was not available

yesterday due to poor road conditions. However, all classes and events, including the GPS Cantus

performance at the Knickerbocker Theatre.

Hope warned of new virus

CIT has informed the Hope

College community that they

should be cautious of another e - m a i l v i rus . It is ca l l ed

"Novarg," and often appears

in emails containing generic-subjects such as "hi," "hello,"

or " r eadme . " Students are

urged to delete these messages immediately without opening

the at tachment. If a student

suspects his or her computer has become infected with the

Novarg virus, he or she should

contact CIT immediately.

Students will help count the homeless

Several Hope College stu-

assist in an area-wide effort to count the hidden homeless

of Ottawa County.SWORG,,

the college's student social work organization, is coor-

dinating the effort. The count will begin tomorrow at 5

a.m. and will run for two-

three hours. The project is being organized by the Ot-

Rush comes to an end at Hope Sororities and fraternities on cam-pus invite new members to join Maureen Yonovitz A R T S EDITOR

Almost an entire month of the 2004 spring semester

has already passed, and winter break is just around the comer. For many, the first round of exams is begin-

ning and the weather on campus feels a lot more like

winter than it did before the holidays. What have Hope 's students been up to on these cold,

snowy January days? At least a few are likely to say,

"Rush." With a week left in the first stage of this year's introduction to the Greek system on campus, time is

winding down and rushees will soon begin pledging to

become new members. T h e so ro r i t i e s on c a m p u s are S i g m a S igma

Delta Chi and national sorori ty S igma Lambda

Gamma. "We've had three events so far and we've had a lot

of girls come out, so we 've been having a lot of fun

with it," said Ashley Williams ( '05), assistant rush

chair for Kappa Delta Chi. Although not all the Greek organizations on cam-

pus have had quite as large a turnout as they hoped,

most agree that this year 's rush has been successful. According to Jillian Pettijohn ( '05), a rush chair for

the SIBs, the number of girls rushing the sorority was

Library adapts to safety changes Jenny Cencer SENIOR STAFF REPORTER

The Van Wylen Library has recently been experi-

encing several security concerns. Suspicious persons incidents, although relatively minor, have caused the

library staff to conduct a meeting concerning the

safety of its employees as well as visitors.

Employees were directed to call 911 from their cell

phones, rather than a campus line, during any emer-gency, as campus calls go directly to Campus Safety

officers standing by. The dispatching process at Hope

was thought to have taken longer than a standard

9 l l call. In reality, phoning Campus Safety first will allow

help to arrive earlier. "Call our department first, we ' re closer and can

get there fast," said Sergeant Chad Wolters of Cam-

pus Safety.

"We have direct contact with officer units at all

limes and can transfer the information quicker,"

Wolters said.

Dialing 9 l l from a non-campus line will trans-

fer the caller to a central dispatcher, who will then call HPD, which will contact the nearest unit. No

matter how close the police units are to campus,

the Campus Safety staff will almost always be the

first to arrive on the scene.

" W e ' v e n e v e r had a p r o b l e m / 4 sa id E l i s e Edwards, dispatcher for Campus Safety.

A lack of constant adult supervision during cer-

tain library hours has led to an increased presence

of the Campus Safety staff in the library. They were requested by library staff to check in periodically

during short-staffed hours. No further issues have

occurred after these current safety precautions

were installed.

Consent can be attractive

One night, a close female friend and I had just finished

playing a star-catching game on

the Hello Kitty website. I had a crush on her, but we had talked

and I knew she wasn' t interesting

in more than friendship. She was lying under the covers

in my bed because she was cold.

I leaned up against her legs at the other end of the bed. After a few

minutes, I lay down next to her

and slid my arm around her waist. It felt like a switch turned off in

my brain and I ceased treating her

like a friend, but more like a goal.

Without reciprocating any of my advances, she nervously

continued talking. Eventually,

she told me that she wanted to

leave and I stood up and called

the shuttle van. Our ongoing small talk as I walked her to

the door seemed to deny

that anything had happened. but I could tell she was .

uncomfortable. She ran out

of the door quickly as if she

were afraid that I would try

to kiss her goodnight.

This ended up almost dissolving our friendship; I only

talked to her a few more times

before she graduated. I can understand her distrust of me

because, despite being aware of

what I was doing, I felt out of control of my own actions that

night. My desire to gain control

of the situation and dispel my

frustrations caused me to disre-

gard my respect and admiration for her humanity.

I did not rape her, but my

actions were in the same ballpark.

My actions fit into a continuum of violence against women where

rape is the ultimate exploit. The

less severe acts at one end of the

continuum include whistling at a woman or touching a woman ' s

body without consent.

The other end includes date

rape, marital rape, incest and rape by strangers. I would imagine

that, like me, the majority of men

at Hope College have done

something that fits into this

continuum at some point in

their lives. Talking about my feelings

and asking for consent with my

friend before attempting anything physical would have

been a better alternative and

would have preserved our

friendship. Consent is, according to "Conversations of

Consent" by Joseph Weinberg

and Michael Biembaum, "the continual process of explicit,

verbal discussion.. .a shared

acknowledgement that at this moment what we are doing

together is safe and comfort-

able." Questions like "May I fondle

your left breast?" are ridicu-

lous, but questions like "How

do you feel about this?" or "Is

My desire to gain control caused me to disregard my respect for her humanity.

everything okay?" can create

more shared intimacy.

Instead of detracting from the spontaneity, many say that this

sort of mutual trust and respect

intensifies their expressions of

passion. Consent allows men

to be less separated from their partner, creating more of a

fusion between two people

seeking to please one another. Of course, nobody wants to

be turned down, but asking first

means creating a mutual

comfort that can help dissolve

doubts and fears, like I felt in

my situation. Consent not only stops rape,

but according to Weinberg and

Bierbaum, "opens up possibili-ties for a man to understand

and love himself as a person, to

become empathetic to his own

state—frightened, lacking communication skills, unsure

of what he wants f rom

women."

More staff would be a good idea. (Physical Plant) just needs to put out a little more effort.

—Mark Driesenga ('05)

Several students responded to the

ef for ts made in maintaining clear

"I think the physical plant does

better than the city of Hol land at

shovel ing snow. The snow is ex-

t remely bad on 8 ,h street where the

Winter ice can also result in ac-

Running the Show Student directed play, "The Trestle at Pope Lick Creek," takes stage this weekend

Neil S imons STAFF REPORTER

Early on a Sunday afternoon, bursting forth

f r o m an abyss of da rkness on the DeWit t

was near ing its final s tages of rehearsal . T h e

c o m p l e t e l y s t u d e n t r u n s h o w w i l l b e

presented at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday

in the DeWit t Main Theater .

" T h e Tres t le at P o p e Lick C r e e k " w a s

chosen , produced and directed by A m a n d a

Weener ( '04) , and Jessica Trakimas ('(M) and

Mat thew Farmer ( ' 04 ) . With only about t w o

a n d a ha l f w e e k s of r e h e a r s a l t h u s f a r ,

t eamwork is an extremely important e lement

fo r both cast and crew.

" T h e i d e a is t o t e a c h s t u d e n t s t h e

product ion scale of theater and h o w to work

as a t eam," said Farmer , w h o has taken on

the role of producer, actor and scenic designer

for this show.

The production captures the depression-era

e thos , sp i l l ing severa l t h e m e s ou t to the

audience. T h e characters convey a sense of

being adhered to inescapable small- town life.

"Tha t ' s another theme that c o m e s out of

the play," Farmer said. ' T h e loss of self-value

trying to escape m o n o t o n y — i s it a sense of

immortal i ty o r a loss of hope about get t ing

that g rows with tense uneasiness as the plot

1936 town. Even though light-hearted scenes

exist in this p roduc t ion , the aud ience can

expect to in fuse both their hearts and their

minds with the exper ience this pe r fo rmance

will create. It is this sense of int imacy that

the c r ew has planned for, even raising the

theater seating to bring the audience literally

onto the stage.

T rak imas , p roducer , ac tor and c o s t u m e

des igne r , d e f i n e s th is p r o d u c t i o n as " the

interaction of honesty be tween characters ."

It is this honesty that a l lows the audience to

feel wha t the actors are convey ing , because

the themes introduced in this piece are themes

that can s o m e h o w be related to in everyone ' s

l ives.

W h e n looking this deeply into the lives of

these characters , s o m e of the themes that are

explored m a y not be sui table for younge r

audiences . Matu re content is present in this

product ion, so parents are encouraged to use

discret ion w h e n deciding to br ing younge r

"The ques t ions raised aren ' t new, but are

still pert inent , very real, and still cha l lenge

the aud ience ," Farmer said.

AncHor OPINION January 28x 2004

Editor's voice

Look at the big picture: Hope vs. Calvin is not a big deal Having grown up outside of town, in the area between

Saugatuck and Holland and having attended the local Christian

high school. I have become aware of one sure thing: each winter,

the town will come out with all flags raised to support the sports of

each school-based church affiliation (RCA or CRC) . Everyone

gets into the thick of it, in fact; former classmates, their children,

the grandchildren. For the sake of the old alma mater, the competi-

tion gets fierce between spectators. It's of ten as intense up there in

the stands as it is down in the paint.

From my graduating class of 232 at Holland Christian, many

more — about 50 students — went on to Calvin than to Hope. And

even though many of my friends attend Calvin, 1 didn ' t think it

would make a difference in our relationships. Last year, as

f reshmen, my friends and 1 made it a point to regularly commute

between GR and Holland to hang out, just as in high school, but as

the Hope-Calvin men ' s basketball game approached, we began to

absorb what seems to be a developed yet almost hereditary dislike

for each other ' s schools.

And come time for this year ' s big game, students f rom both

camps f locked to the Holland Civic Center to worship at the holy

grail of West Michigan hoops. We gave the bleachers where we sat

in high school only a cursory glance before sitting on either side,

throwing nasty glances at the opponent ' s team before taking our

seats and beginning to go through the immature motions of high-

school basketball fans. By no means am I condemning school

spirit, but the outright disdain shown by game time on either

school 's part becomes disgusting by the time the game is over.

What I 'm trying to say here is that the Hope-Calvin rivalry,

while a staple of tradition between the two schools, is carried to

ridiculous extremes. When any sport features a competit ion

between Hope and Calvin, both schools become littered with

paraphernalia f rom the other side 's students. Almost every year,

the anchor outside of Graves is spray-painted in maroon and gold,

Calvin 's colors. And then, money that you pay Hope goes toward

once again repainting it, f ixing goalposts, and paying for various

petty damages incurred by the so-called friendly rivalry.

Whi le I would be one of the first to admit that school spirit and

the fun involved with the Hope-Calvin games in any sport are

integral to the experience of being a Hope or Calvin student, it also

says something about the maturity of those students who live for

this one competit ion. I hope everyone had fun on Saturday, but

let 's be big girls and boys about it. There is more to life outside the

West Michigan bubble of two small. Christian, liberal-arts

colleges.

College is not a reason not to ignore national politics To the editor:

My favorite parts of The Anchor are always the edi-

torials. They come f rom passionate people who care

enough to speak out on relevant issues. Last week I

was particularly impressed with the editorials, but with

the State of the Union address so close behind us, and

the 2004 Presidential elections so near, I was surprised

that politics are not becoming frequent topics of dis-

cussion. Then I remembered that we are not simply at

Hope College, we are at the Hope College Bubble.

I wrote to the Anchor, not because I am a political

know-it-all . but because I am presently undergoing a

significant change in my life. I recently gave up Spi-

der Solitaire for www.newyorkt imes.com. Let me tell

you, it is entirely as addicting. After my daily fix of

NYTimes, however, I am much more in tune with the

recent factual updates on political campaigns, inter-

national disputes, and other hot topics such as gay

marriages, and educational funding.

Simply attending college is N O excuse for not keep-

ing up, and getting involved with politics. The word

"poli t ics" has taken on such a limited and negative

connotation, that ignoring It, runs hand in hand with

every other trend we follow. The truth is that family

security; job outlooks, housing and driving laws are

all influenced and determined by national politics. If

you aren ' t dead, you probably would be surprised to

find how many relevant news stories have been left

out of C N N or FOX news nightly, let alone the newest

season of the Bachlorette! I am continually surprised

that while people devote themselves to the Bible and

religion with such passion, they can ignore the what 's

going on today. I was pleased that Katrina Baker men-

tioned this exact advice last week in her letter! So, go

ahead and watch "While You Were Out", but escape

from AIM for an hour today and check out the real

news too. Reading a full article f rom a newspaper is

astonishingly interesting, if you do it once a day!

Things start to connect and suddenly you have an opin-

ion with facts to prove yourself. You

'II sound smart, and still be able to go out and have

a good time on the weekend (to say the least)! Hope

College is not a literal bubble, but unless we get our

acts together, we will handicap ourselves to that ef-

fect. There ' s no need to jo in Euchre Anonymous . Just

read the newspaper, you ' l l kick the addiction on your

own.

Want to keep your money? Vote against Bush in 2004 To the editor:

The case against Bush in 2004 has

been argued many times in the past.

Most of these arguments have been

based on the implications of the war

in Iraq. The war debate has been,

like Bible verses about homosexu-

ality, thrown around to the point that

nobody listens anymore. So, today

I would like to take a more self-cen-

tered approach that even the greedi-

est r ight-winger should be able to

understand.

Bush is costing you money and

ruining the economy of the nation.

Worse than that, he is lying about

it. For example , in his State of the

U n i o n A d d r e s s of 2 0 0 2 , B u s h

claimed that the only logical way to

stimulate the economy, and the one

that he was going to pursue was the

creation of more jobs. He claimed

that making it possible for all men

and women who sought jobs hav-

ing the opportunity to get one to be

his top priority.

In reality. Bush has presided over

the first economy since Hoover that

has lost j o b s ins tead of c rea t ing

them, totaling over 2.9 million since

2001. Instead of promoting job se-

curity and a living wage for white-

col lar workers . Bush has given

money and tax breaks to his C E O

friends, whose pay is already 400

times more than entry level at their

companies .

The Bush tax cut was supposed

to greatly benefit those at the bot-

tom. Over its tenure, however, it

has served the rich more than those

who actually need it. The tax cut

has also been responsible for much

of the hard economic t imes that

have hit the nation.

Many of the states are quickly

running out of money, and being

forced to make numerous cuts to

make ends meet. Here are just a

few cuts that have happened in

Michigan since the beginning of

the Bush-induced budget crisis:

— P r o p e r t y t a x e s i n c r e a s e d

7.6%, amounting to an additional

$782 million paid by all Michigan

taxpayers.

— T u i t i o n at s ta te s p o n s o r e d

higher-learning institutions such as

U of M and MSU have risen up to

1 2 % .

— T h e public school systems are

facing a cut of funding f rom the

money they get per student, which

is already insufficient.

— F e e s on driver 's licenses have

almost doubled.

Nationwide, the case is the same.

Every state has had to make severe

cuts to programs just to counteract

the damage that had been done by

Bush and his economic policies.

Not only are states behind, but tax-

payers are also losing their money

unless at the top of the economic

food chain.

W h e n the next election comes

up, it will be OK to think of your-

self when voting for the next Presi-

dent. Bush is costing you money,

plain and simple. If you want to

get what you deserve f rom your

checks, then vote for anyone but

Bush. Alternately, a vote for Bush

will only secure another four years

of j o b loss and growing national

debt that is already perched at an

all t ime high.

Sweet revenge Total shock and a w e —

mixed with tears and m e m o -

ries to last a l i fe t ime — fi l led

the locker r o o m on a cold,

March night in 2003 in

d o w n t o w n Muskegon . A

whole season of pract ice and

compet i t ion s e e m e d to a m o u n t

to nothing after Hope ' s

hear tbreaking defea t in the

national championsh ip game .

W h a t ' s even w o r s e is that

the winn ing team that night

had already been defea ted

twice dur ing the regular

season, inc luding a 6 -0

drubbing by Hope in the s a m e

arena three mon ths earlier.

That final, fa te fu l champi -

onsh ip g a m e against the

M u s k e g o n C o m m u n i t y

Col lege H a w k s — in f ron t of

thousands of f ans at L.C.

Walker A r e n a — still haunts

m y memory . Saturday night ,

that team c a m e to T h e E d g e to

take on the F ly ing D u t c h m e n .

Hav ing de fea ted Muske gon 4 -

1 this season at L.C. Walker

back in November , the

Du tchmen looked to con t inue

their vengeance for that dark,

co ld night in March of ' 03 .

I walked into the arena

Saturday fo r the first t ime

s ince m y playing days , and I

s aw the scoreboard read ing 4 -

1 Hope. When the third period

started I could see a drast ic

change in the Muskeg on

Hawks . This was not the same

team that defea ted Hope a

year ago in the national f inals .

However , their playing style

h a d n ' t changed . Slashing, high

e lbows and cheap shots all

remained in their arsenal .

Hope persevered, though, and

went on to defea t the H a w k s

6-2 in f ront of a small , but

energet ic c rowd.

T h e win keeps the Dutch-

men (16-3-2-1) c loser to the

undefea ted Calv in Knights

(22-0). T h e Knights look to

take the top seed in the central

region, but as long as Hope

cl ings c lose behind , it will still

receive its third straight

appearance in the national

spotl ight . With the top three

c lubs in the nation of last

yea r ' s tournament (Hope,

Calv in and Muskegon) , one

cou ld already predict the

poss ible f inals ma tchup in

March . With a look around the

nation in Divis ion III hockey,

there are f ive separate regions,

which means the top three

ranked teams f r o m each region

qua l i fy fo r the national

tournament . Hope , Calvin and

M uske gon will look forward

to their t r ips to Arizona, where

the tournament will be hosted

by Ar izona State University.

Th ree beaut i fu l locat ions have

hosted this event the past three

years . In 2002 it w a s Atlanta ,

this year Scot tsdale , Ariz., and

w h o can forget last year - in

M u s k e g o n .

In the other fou r regions,

Indiana Univers i ty -Purdue

leads the Northeast , whi le

Penn Sta te-Berks is in f ront in

the Atlantic . Georgia , w h o m

the Dutch defea ted in the

national semif inal last March ,

r emains ahead of the Georg ia

Tech Yellow Jacke ts by one

point. And hos t Ar izona State

Sun Devi ls are in a dead lock

with West L o s Ange les a top

the West.

T h e de fend ing champion

M u s k e g o n H a w k s are go ing

through their o w n rendit ion of

the Tampa Bay Buccaneers .

T h e H a w k s have fallen into

the ninth-place seed in the

Cent ra l region, but s ince they

w o n the championsh ip last

year, they receive an au tomat ic

tr ip to Scot tsdale . Whi le this

may anger several Hope and

Calv in players , I bel ieve that

this is the right move. Still ,

m y bets on Ca lv in -Hope final.

T h e Dutch cou ldn ' t qui te m a k e

it t w o - f o r - t w o in the d a y on the

cour t agains t the Knigh t s . W h i l e

their m a l e counterpar t s ran a w a y

with a lopsided victory, the Dutch

suffered a d i f fe ren t fate, d ropp ing

a rare h o m e loss to rival Calv in 74-

62. The loss sets the Dutch back to

7-1 in the M I A A and moves them

i n t o a f i r s t p l a c e t i e w i t h t h e

Knights .

A packed D o w saw Calvin shoot

out to an early lead and maintain it

throughout the game. Turnovers by

the Dutch and a sparkl ing shoot ing

percentage by the Knights led to a

13-point def ici t at the half . Hope

mounted a decent c o m e b a c k af te r

the break, pul l ing within f ive, but

t h e K n i g h t s , l ed b y K r i s t i n

M c D o n a l d ' s g a m e high 25 points ,

CALVIN from 1

managed to wi thhold the run and

seal the deal .

T h e Knights ' smothering defense

caused a season high 20 turnovers

for the Dutch. T h e Dutch shot well

f r o m b e y o n d the a rc ( 6 3 % ) bu t

slightly below average f rom the rest

of the field (42%). Ca lv in ' s 5 0 %

shoot ing and H o p e ' s f ew scoring

oppor tun i t i e s caused the D u t c h ' s

first h o m e court loss in 2 3 games

and only their second loss this sea-

son.

Some bright spots for the Dutch

however w a s the play of both the

Ebels . Bria ( ' 06 ) netted 22 on the

night, a season high and career best

while L inda ( ' 06 ) tallied 10 points

and grabbed seven boards . M e g a n

Noll ( ' 06 ) also had a wel l - rounded

g a m e with t w o assists, t w o steals,

f ou r poin ts and four rebounds .
