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

J O D I M C F A R L A N D cam pus beat editor

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

dust in its mechan isms . Publ ic

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-

mer," Kim Mendels said. "Once

it went off at 1:30 in the morn-

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.

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

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

"e l iminat ion of all cos t s , " our society has

taken a U-turn f r o m our religious and moral

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

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

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

our voice.

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 )

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.

veniently located on 8th street and

Lincoln across f rom the Holland

train station.

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

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

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

wan ted to k n o w w h a t they w e r e

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

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

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...

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.

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."
