Students sign parachute to support Earth Day by S h a r o n Roebuck

e a t u r e s ed i tor

S e v e r a l e v e n t s will be

happening on Hope's campus, as

well as other locations, to celebrate

the upcoming national Earth Day

on Monday, April 22.

Activities actually started a

week earlier than the traditional day

of environmental recognition.

Since Monday, April 15, a

surplus parachute supplied by the

Environmental Issues Group (EIG),

has been available on the Maas side

of Phelps cafeteria from 10:30 a.m.

to 1:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. to 6:30

p.m., to be signed by the students.

Signing the parachute allows

students to commit themselves to

the improvement of the Western

Michigan environment "...whether

it's just learning more about what

can be done to improve air and

water quality,or whether it's saying

you will be more involved with

campus recycling," said Professor

Stephen Hemenway, EIG advisor.

On a global level, Hemenway

said that after the Earth Day

ac t iv i t i es , the parachute will

probably be sent to a United

Na t ions c o n f e r e n c e on the

environment being held in June in Brazil.

"We've actually been approached

by representatives from the United

Nations in terms of trying to

vablicize American involvement

a.id awareness of some of the issues

thai are going to be dealt with

t h f c , " Hemenway said of the

jonference in Brazil.

Hemenway added that the United

Sta tes has not a lways been

supportive, as other countries are,

of the U n i t e d N a t i o n s '

environmental programs. He hopes

that b> sending the parachute to the

right people, Hope College might

be involved in the publicity of the

Brazilian conference.

Also helping to celebrate Earth

Day on the Hope campus was

Joan D'Argo of Greenpeace, an

environmental activist organization.

D 'Argo spoke on the

importance of implementing a zero-

discharge policy on the Great Lakes.

Also, Hope and Calvin College

environmental groups will be going

on a joint camping venture to clean

up Muskegon's Hoffmeister Park

on Friday, April 19, and Saturday,

April 20. The groups will arrive on

Friday and clean the park on

Saturday morning. Anyone is free

to join the project.

Following these events comes

Earth Day on April 22. The main

event will take place from 4:30

p.m. to 5:30 p.m. in the Pine

Grove (unless it rains and it will

then be held in the Phelp's lounge).

Students will see their signatures

and messages on the parachute

which will be displayed at this

time.

Also during that t ime, an

environmental concert will feature

music with ecological themes by

Eric Muiderman and Charlie Hoats

and will include an address by Rick

Newberry of the West Michigan

Environmental Action Council.

After the Earth Day events, EIG

will participate in an environmental

fair at Westshore Mall on Saturday.

April 27, and will have a booth set

a longs ide o ther groups with

environmental concerns.

Hemenway has announced that

containers for dormitory recycling

have arrived and "because of the

lateness of the school year, we're

trying to focus on some of the

larger dormitories (Kollen, Gilmore

and Dykstra)." The containers will

definitely be in all dorms by the fall

semester.

Pamela Schmidt ( '91) of EIG

serves as the student contact for

anyone who would like more

information on the Earth Day

activities at Hope College.

Art Department loses state grant for exhibit by J a m e s R. Hall

ass i s tan t news ed i tor

The Art Department has lost a

$13,000 grant due to major

cutbacks in art programs by the

state legislature. The main

p rob lem is that the Art

Department already spent the

money guaranteed by this grant

for the "Days of the Dead" show

last fall, and now the department

has to deal with a large deficit.

The main reason the department

is in this predicament, though, is

because there was no reason to

anticipate such a loss. Dr. Jack

Wilson, head of the department,

explained that Hope has had no

ear l ie r p r o b l e m s with the

Michigan Council for the Arts

(MCA), as each of the previous

grants awarded have been

successful.

Also, he said that this grant

was a particularly good one,

which made the situation even

more baffling. "It was written,

awarded and praised for being a

model grant," he noted.

The grant was awarded long

before the "Days of the Dead"

exhibit was presented, though the

of f ic ia l contract was never

received. Wilson explained the

situation: "It 's true that we never

got the contract but we received

oral and written notifications

from the MCA and the state

legislature that we had the grant.

There is no question that the grant

was awarded."

Danforth lecturer emphasizes importance of Miriam by Jill Saridor '

staff wr i te r )

Dr, Phyllis Triblc presented

last week's Danforth Lecture,

entitled 'The Story of Miriam."

In her . l ec tu re , Tr ib le

emphasized the, importance of the

role of the biblical Miriam in the

Exodus story. .

Trible began by recounting the

story of how Miriam helped her

mother place Moses irt a basket and

set it afloat in the reeds of the Nile.

"Silence gave birth to Miriam."

she said, referring to Miriam's

simple and humble beginnings.

Trible said that Miriam was

designated as a prophet even before

Moses. Miriam took on shared

leadership to lessen the burden on

Moses, Trible said. .

She alsb stiid that "The Song of

the Sea," the song of praise sung at

the parting of the Red Sea, was

originally written by Miriam, bui

was ascribed to Moses by later

editors of the Bible.

T r i b l e n a m e d m a n y

accompl i shments of Mir iam,

including the roles of poet, singer,

prophet, mediator, leader and theologian.

She discussed the occasion

when Miriam and Aaron rebelled

against Moses, asking if God had

not also spoken through the two of

iliem.

'Miriam made clear that 'all the Lord's people' Includes women.'

--Phyllis Trible

"Miriam made clear that 'all the

Lord's people' includes women,"

Trible said.

Trible pointed out that Miriam,

but not Aaron, was stricken with

leprosy for the rebellious words.

Trible said Miriam was punished

because she was female. Yet she

noted that the Israelites did: not

move on until Miriam was healed

and brought back into the camp.

"Those whom she served did not

lorsake her in her time of need," •'ihe - %

said. Trible also pointed out the

importance of water as a symbol m

(he Exodus story. Miriam was

present when the baby Moses was

first discovered in the Nile, and she

sang a song of praise when the Red

Sea was parted.

' T h e beginning, like the end of

the Exodus story, belongs to

women."

Trible said that Miriam's stor\

survives and that her role in the

Exodus story still influences

Christian tradition todrfy. She

compared Miriam's "Song of the

Sea" to the Virgin Mary's j>ong of

praise. Trible also said thai

Christian tradition honors Miriam

through the honorable actions ol iho

New Testament women named

"Mary," which is the Greek version

of the Hebrew name "Miriam."

Trible is the Baldwin Professor

of Sacred Literature at Union

Theological Seminary in New

York. She graduated magna cum

laude from Meredith College.

Congress Cabinet candidates answer questions (Editor's note: The following are

responses from candidates for

S tudent Congre s s cab inen t

positions to questions posed by the

current Student Congress cabinet

and submitted to the anchor.)

President

Why are you qualif ied to be P re s iden t ?

W e r k m a n : The purpose of the

President of the Student Congress is

to be the Chief Representative of

the Student Body. With my

experience with Student Congress,

the College Administration and the

Students of Hope, I am confident

that I have the ability and the

integri ty to be your Chief

Representative.

I am qualified to be President of

Student Congress in that I served on

Student Congress as a representative

of the cottages. I have learned how

Student Congress runs and operates,

how to work with the student body

and moreover, how to work with

the administration. 1 have served on

the Appropriations Committee

This is the most important

committee because it effects you,

the students, directly. I have been

treasurer of Fraternal Society for the

past year. One of the most

important abi l i t ies that the

President of Student Congress can

have is the ability to have rigid

supervision of appropriations and

budgeting of the students activity fee. - ^

Shoup: Having served on Student

Congress for the past two years,

f i r s t as the A l l - C a m p u s

Representative and second as

Cottage Representative, I feel I have

learned to work well with the

Administration, the Faculty and

fellow students. I have served on

such committees as the Academic Affairs Board, Extra Curricular

Activities Committee and the Board

of Trustee's College Advancement

Committee. My other campus

involvements, such as Chapel

Choir, Pan Hellenic Board and

APO, the Service Fraternity, allow

me to hear a diverse range of

S c h a a p : My goals as Vice

President of Student Congress are to

be an effective representative and

leader, to improve communication

between the students and the

administration and to respond to the

needs of you, the student body. I

hope that, through the office of

Vice President, I can learn more

about Hope College and how it

works for the students. The bottom

The endurance and commitment that

Joe showed, I can only hope that I

can do the same. The primary goal

that I have is to see that in the

also looking into administration to

ensure those wishes are met.

decided at the administrative level.

To be President would allow

me to work towards my goals of

making Hope College a better

make Student Congress really work

for the students of Hope College.

The promise to maintain a full

GR Station monitors WTHS by Dan C o m b s

spor t s ed i to r

. WTHS, the Hope College radio station found out recently that it has been monitored by WEHB FM, a Grand Rapids station. The station has made a report concerning W T H S to t h e F e d e r a l C o m m u n i c a t i o n s Commiss ion ( t e q . f

. Martha Brandt C92), WTHS general manager, said, "We received a copy of a letter at WTHS from the G r a n d R a p i d s P u b l i c Broadcasting Corporation, which owns WEHB. that was sent to the FCC."

Brandt said, "The letter stated that WEHB monitored some records

thai were played on the air at W T H S tha t t hey f o u n d inappropriate."

One of the songs that was mention in the letter as one deemed inappropriate for air play made

'We feel that the most that will happen is that the FCC will Just be monitoring us more closely for the next year or two.'

-Martha Brandt

references to sex and contained reported sexual innuendos. Brandt said it depends on who is listening to the song whether or not that song is deemed illegal.

WTHS had yet to hear from the FCC, but Brandt does not expect anything too severe to result from this incident

"We feel that the most that will happen is that the FCC will just be monitoring us more closely for the next year or two," she said.

It is suspected that there might be uUerior motives on the part of the G r a n d R a p i d s P u b l i c Broadcast ing Corporation and WEHB for monitoring WTHS. WEHB goes on the air at the same frequency as WTHS. 89.9 FM. WEHB might be trying to expand their audience by having WTHS removed from the air and increasing their broadcasting range.

Local News Bike ride to benefit housing

National News Princeton students wait in line to sign up for joke porn class PRINCETON, N J . (CPS) - Eight students reportedly lined up before the advertised start of registration April 1 for a fall semester course called "Pornography and America: Textuality and Sensuality."

The problem was that the advertisement was an April Fool's joke played by the Daily Princetonian, the campus paper. There was no such course offered.

Putative pom Professor Andrew Ross, however, noted that, given the student response, starting such a course, "might not be a bad idea."

Votava: The Student Activity Fee

is an involuntary fee charged to

every full-time students at Hope

College. Therefore , the fund

generated by this fee should in some

way benefit each and every student

who paid into it. In this light, the

student groups who serve the most

students should receive the highest

priority in obtaining funds. Also,

rhoney not allocated to student

organizations should go towards

special projects and events that

Counseling Center opens peer help.program, by Matt Buys staff writer

Michele D y k e m a ' s ( ' Q l )

research project on Cal i fornia

counseling programs, blossomed

into a program of its own. Just

four weeks ago, peer counseling, a

he lp ing se rv ice that o f f e r s

compassionate and trained advising

to Hope students, got underway.

The program, which operates

out of Hope's counseling center, is

designed for students undergoing

stressful life events. It recognizes

that most people are resourceful and

capable, but that sometimes they

need help in hurdling life's barriers.

"People don ' t have to be

pathological to seek help. I t 's

geared for normal everyday people

who arc having hard times and need

support, , , said Huong Nguyen ('91).

"Our approach is that they arc

not bizarre freaks but rather that

they are resourceful people taking

initiative to make a difference when

the going gets rough.

"There 's nothing wrong with

seeking help because we all need it

at one time or another , and

ironically sometimes it lakes a

strong person to admit thai he or

she is weak," she added.

Darrel Schregardus, director of

the counseling center and trained in

Rogerian and Gestall Psychology,

oversees the program, with the help

of Hope students Dykema, Nguyen

and Tracey Maione ('93).

It is modeled after similar

communi ty projec ts at Sama

Barbara-Davis, Michigan State and

Berkeley. "They started out as drug

flop houses," said Dykema, but

grew into more personal services.

" I t ' s personal , one-on-one

counseling, that is not necessarily

for crisis situations," said Nguyen,

confidentiality is stressed except for

c i rcumstances involving life

threatening behavior such as suicide

or murder.

"Peer counseling is a place to

talk to peers rather than people. So

that they can have someone to relate

to a little easier," said Maione. And

in this case the peers are trained.

" T h e p rog ram gene ra t e s

alternatives to people who need that

extra push in overcoming problems

with family, loneliness, stress,

depression and even relationships,"

said Nguyen. Its philosophy is that

sometimes Hope students need to

think things through, as well as let

people know someone cares.

Expectations run high for the

volunteers who hope to have

funding as well as a buildinf

(hen own in the future.

"We ' re learning a lot, and

enjoying it ," said Schregardus.

Observing the success of similar

projects around the country, their

hopes are well founded. At present

their hours are: Tuesday 1 to 3

p.m., Thursday 2:30 to 5 p.m. ami

Friday 9 to 11 a.m.

"Feel free to walk in or call

during any of those hours," said

Schregardus. Housed in the upstairs

of the Sligh building, the program

is located across from the Dewm

center on 11th Street. The phone

number is x7949.

Counseling center organizers

are also looking for qualified

applicants to go through training

program and serve as counselors

next year.

BOYD BASH 4 - All friends of

Boyd, come to the final blowout

this Saturday night. Art is coming

back, so it's going to fun.

while others, like Hope, have

received none at all. Wilson still

hopes that part of the grant will

be given.

Still, Hope is not alone in this

situation, as it appears that widespread cutbacks have affected

programs all over the state.

Essen t ia l ly , the MCA will

probably break up for lack of

fund ing , and this will put

increasing pressure on its sister

Council fo r the Humanit ies .

'Reforming the situation is one thing, eliminating it is another.'

-Jack Wiison

Wilson explained his frustration

with these across-the-board cuts

when he said, "Reforming the

s i t u a t i o n is o n e , t h i n g ,

eliminating it is another."

Much of the information about

what is currently happening is

based on rumor, so it is difficult

to see the entire picture. Still, it

appears that many of the lost

grants stem from Governor

Eng le r ' s new program of

cutbacks in an effort to make

Michigan 's state budget more

manageable.

In the past, Hope has been

fortunate because it has been able

to bring in special shows which

otherwise would not have been

offered.

The four grants received

over the past eight years have

provided the college with about

$45,000 to $50,000 for these

special art shows. With these

opportunities gone, Hope and

other institutions will have to

turn to different funding sources.

Editorial ditorial

Candidates have potential to address campus issues

The fact that no candidate for the Student Congress Cabinet is running unopposed is good news for the Hope student body. The anchor's editorial board is familiar with all the candidates for Student Congress Cabinet and rejoices in the fact that this year (for the first time in a long time) all candidates are truly qualified. Not only do they have Congress experience, but they are conscientious members.

Unfortunately, all candidates failed in their answers to standard questions to address the pressing issues of the campuS in 1990-91 and those which will still be relevant in 1991-92 (see article, Pages 2-3). With this in mind, the candidates should be prepared to explain more than vague goals and repetiuve descriptions of the requirements of positions to their voters. They can actually make this an intelligent issue-onented election by addressing some of the following questions in their campaign speeches tomorrow (Apr. 17) at 5 p.m. in Phelos Cafeteria: "

w r u c ' T toe eandidate stand on resolving the problems with i, i u S o u l d 11,6 s l a t l o n remain wholly student-run? Should the

school hire professionals to manage the station? Should the station maintain its progressive format? Why shouldn't the station be allowed to receive an Associated Press newswire?

• What should be the campus' policies toward minority issues'' How should Student Congress affect these policies? Are recruiting practices or minority scholarships the answer? Is a multi-cultural residence hall feasible?

• Does Hope College need to have a strong residential focus7 If so what criteria are reasonable for students asking for and receiving off-campus permission? If not, how can alternative funds be raised?

• What expectations of Congress members need to be set? Is attendance at weekly meetings enough? Should members also be required to attend campus committee meetings in which student needs and requirements are being made into policy? How do members best represent their constituency?

Political rhetoric rarely solves a problem and seldom informs a constituent. These candidates have the potential to be above that The student body should require them to be.

Campus thefts upset student Dear Editor,

"Have you seen my diskette? I

had it right next to my bag here in

the computer room and I went to

the bathroom and when I came back it was gone."

"Have you seen my backpack?

I put it on the shelf in Phelps and

after I was finished eating lunch it was gone."

"Have you seen my calculator?

I left it right next to my bag and

went to go ask a professor a

question and when I came back it was gone."

I 've been hearing these types

ot comments from my friends often

lately. You leave something

unattended for a short period of

time and when you come back,

some one has stolen it. Diskettes

stolen from the computer rooms

make me the most upset. Why

would someone want to steal a

diskette when they cost only 70

cents in the bookstore? And often,

the diskettes get stolen just after

you finished saving your paper on' it.

Hope College is a Christian, college. I know that not everyone has the same morals I do, but 1 '

think that everyone should at least ^

have respect for other's property. I f ,

you really want a diskette and can't

afford the 70 cents to buy one. ask k

a friend if you can borrow their s. If«

you need anything else you see

around, ask to borrow it. Just don't '

steal it!

Opinion

~ SLIP OF THE MIND

Assignment: Helplessness

JIM MONNETT

The assignment was to give

words to your greatest feeling of

helplessness . How do people

honestly give life to a memory of

helplessness. A memory that is

probably extremely painful.

People have a hard time talking

about he lp lessness . It i sn ' t

respectable to admit it. To share it

with a friend is to expose one 's

worst pain to a possible judgment.

One of the hardest moments in life

is that incredible pause that follows

the vocalizing of that painful

memory. One waits at best for

s i lence. But too of ten the

confess ion of helplessness is

followed by an " I 'm sorry," or other

form ot nity and sorrow.

1 sat in that class, looking

around. Most seemed dazed.

People started to write. I got angry.

What is helplessness? To

some it might be memory of

violation. Others may remember

cance r , a lcohol i sm or drug

addiction. Still others may be

remembering something as simple

and complex as watching a

classmate knock your greatest

pottery work off the shelf. As it

falls, the waves of helplessness

crash over your head jus! as vour long hours meet unforgiving tile

floor.

Mine was none of these.

Christmas Eve morning 1989.

My mom, brother and 1 spent three

hours sitting on a marble bench in

the spacious halls of the Clevebn J

Justice Building. Thirty yards away

my father sat on another bench.

The lawyers and the judge sat in a

room hammering out the temporary

alimony settlement. The judge was

tired, unsympathetic and didn't care

who had done what. We sat and

waited. I felt rage and helplessness.

The temporary alimony hearing

is only the first court appearance of

a degrading process that takes an average six months.

But you live through the proccss

and life continues. You try to heal.

The people of Hope College,

though, do nothing to help.

Those of us coming out of

broken famil ies have learned

quickly not to talk about their

family life. We've learned we can'I

explain separation and divorce.

My first year of college 1 was

angry at God for the position m\

Mom and 1 had been put in. And 1

let God and others know that I was

angry at Him. A well-mcnrinu. ignorant lncnd sat smugly before

me and told me that all divorce was wrong and then he spouted some

Biblical verses about God working

for good in all things. I regret not

shoving his Bible back down his

throat.

Unfortunately, 1 ran into too

many people that year with the

same attitude. I didn't mentioned my family again.

The only time I talked about it

was when I found myself listening

to others going through the same,

but totally unique circumstances.

Each time, I would tell them that

not only are they not alone, but

that i t ' s okay to be angry,

frustrated, hurt and confused.

To Christians going through

it, I told them that God's love isn't

dependent on whether their parents

(often Christian parents) stick

together or separate. God loves.

No modifiers and conditions.

So why air this now? Because

it 's past time for the majority of

Hope people to realize that every

single one of them knows someone

else at Hope from a broken family.

There are people around you whose

parents have had affairs, who have

settled arguments with abuse and

who have rejected their children.

Now, don't go seeking us out.

Be open to us, if we want to talk,

or bitch, or yell. Keep your

judgments and advice to yourself

Just because you cannot know what

it's like doesn't mean you can't SIK)W concern and love.

On the other hand, by

admitting we're from a broken

home doesn't mean we're looking

for sympathy. And it certainly

should never be used as an excuse

for our behavior. But it is a part of

our lives, and it does often account

for an inability to trust.

In my case, my folks three-year

separation and subsequent divorce

accounts for solid rage at the legal

system and how it forced helplessness upon me.

We survived. Other children of

divorce are surviving as well. But

the healing process would be easier

if the people of Hope College coul

put away their preconceptions a

their judgments and just say to u

"Yes, we'll accept you as you arq

Unconditionally."

LAST WRITES

Soaring?

SCOTT KAUKONEN

Ashes to ashes,

Dust to dust...

Stepping into Ms. Rhodes'

classroom four years ago, the

bulletin board read, "...'til we spread

our wings and fly." Below was the

number of days until graduation.

We were anxious high school

seniors who wanted to get out, our

wings fresh and ready to take us

wherever we aimed. We aimed

where we dreamed and so we aimed

hi^h.

Now, 18 days from receiving

my Bachelor of Arts degree, my

wings feel sticky and I'm tryi ig to

find a runway. It's nice to soar, to

fly high above the earth, dreaming

of riding the ultimate gust of wind

into the rising sun. Toss around story ideas with

Thcune, mixing philosOhy, religion

and life. Theorize with Beth about

taking over a ntewspaper and

running the competition out of

business. But as much as I would

love to live among the clouds, the

dog bites, the mailman calls and

college loan bills come due in six

months.

Sitting on a bench, staring

over Lake Macatawa, I watch geese,

eight or ten, run across the water

and take to the late evening sky.

The sound of the water lapping

against the shore, fish splashing

their fins at the water's surface. 1

want to run out and join them.

'Dreams are the precursors of happiness. Without dreams we sit and we sit and we sit. After awhile our butts get sore.'

From behind me, the blare of

sirens and the rush of fire engines

slap me. I have to go. I have work

to do. Beside me, a friend asks

where I think I'll be in a year. I

stare into the murky water and try

to see myself.

I wish I knew. MI have dreams.,,

I tell her. But I don't tell her that

somewhere along the line I stopped

believing in my dreams. Somebody

made a mistake once, and introduced 'iiie to reality; told me it was uii

way of life and no one s i |pe has

shown me how to make the twe

compat ible (without a large endowment).

With the deadline of graduation

bearing down, I find myself and nv

classmates putting what dreams wc

have on hold, hoping just to fi id

something to get started in - to pi ,

the bills. We want to dream, to take

the "big risk"-buy our own paper,

publish our first novel, rid the

world of poverty. Step out over the

edge. Show the world our dreams,

our ideas, us. But the world just

wants a resume, a cover letter and

maybe well get back in touch with

you.

This experience many of ur.

ha\z shared called Hope College has

pushed us, pulled us, restricted us,

shaped us. The most significant

part of our lives and now we sit in

front of the Macintosh, reducing it

to three or four lines on a resume.

Degree. Majors. Honors. Where's

the part of the resume that asks for

your dreams? "Just the important

stuff, please."

Maybe that's why I haven't

been dreaming. I've been too busy

trying to take care of business. It's

difficult to push your "vision

thang" at four in the morning, th:

time when business is fmall • p.

away fdr a few hours: * ^ v * v *

Some may say, "No big deal.

You've just come to grips with

life."

But I disagree. Dreams arc tho

precursors of happiness. Without

dreams, we sit and we sit and we

sit. And after awhile, our butts get

sore.

College should be the place

where one begins to fly. But too

o f t e n we ' re s h a c k l e d by

requirements-for core, for major.

'Security has a way of wrapping itself in the status quo and dreams aren't sculptured from the status quo.'

for others. We're allowed to fly, but

only within the limits of the

syllabus.

There is a bitter irony to this

lime of life. I believe I should be

starting down the road to the

fulfillment of my dreams, heading

west on a wing, a prayer and two-

quarts of Kool-Aid.

Instead, in the midst of the

ia>lJttolhy of graduation, I find f r iy^e i r l o o k i n g ' for a " j o t r

security, a decent starling incom^

Heavy fog that hides the sun fc dreamers.

The people who taught me

honor and to bow to those w

have dreamed and succeeded, smi

tell me to, "Be practical; thi

short-term; take it one step at

time." But I worry about t

danger of setting aside my

and settling for something less

even if it only seems temporaryj

Security has a way of wrappin

itself in the status quo and dreair

quo.

The other day, I overhean

someone saying that they couldn

understand how people could jus

trust that God would take care o

things. And maybe that's where wd

stop dreaming. When we don't trust

God, when we fail to allow Him

control. It's difficult to believe in

your own dreams, but there's

something inspiring when you

realize where He can take you.

Maybe when I gel home after

graduation, I should pay one more

visit to Ms. Rhodes' room and S3e

if I can recapture my belief in

dreams. Not my dreams. God's

dreams. Rediscover His wings and

soar. After all, isn't that what Hope

•s all about?

Arts Air Jam comic rocks

Cents conquer superior field by Jim Monnett

arts editor

"Istanbul '1 may not be

Constantinople anymore, but it

was good enough to top the field

for the Centurians at the 1991 Air

Jam. Big Dance Posse danced their

way to second place with "Let's

Rock-n-Roir and the Dorians rounded out the top three for their

expressionistic version of Janet

Jackson's "Escapade."

The emcee, Jaz Kaner, was a

natural for the job. His guitar

parodies and relaxed humor kept the

show moving steadily along

without the dead air that has

plagued some past emcees. Kaner

also avoided ripping on the

performers. One reason that he

didn't make jokes about the acts

themselves, may be that the quality

of acts was much superior to past

Air Jams.

The order of the acts was also

nicely done even though the acts

had drawn for placement. This is

one of the few years that 1 have

agreed with the judges winning

picks.

The Centurians were run away

winners with their originality in

the They Might Be Giants song

"Istanbul." The catchy song fit

perfectly for an Air Jam rendition

and the class room setting used was

fun to watch. The high point came late in the

song when the students in their

chairs parodied Madonna's chair-sex

number that closed her last tour.

The lowpoint of the number was

the use of the flashcards stolen

from INXS. Some Centurian

senior must have been reminiscing

about their last first place number

by in 1988 with R.E.M.'s "It's the

End of the World." Big Dance Posse, which was

filled mostly with students from

the dance department, had the best

choreography and obviously

dancing. Lead rapper Bill Roberts

('91) had the moves and words down. They might have taken

Jirs t with a smaller Dance Posse

and the willingness to let their best

dancers take* a more featured

position rather than try to give

everyone an equal time at the from.

"Escapade," the third place act

was more reminiscent of past Air

Jam winners. The Dorian's get

points for the expressionistic

choreography of the black clad

"machines," but the bright colored

dancers were passable in the simple

repetitious choreography.

The Jonesmoker's had belter

dancing, but probably lost with the

judges for their lack of creativity.

They did an excellent copy of the

c lo su re " E v e r y b o d y Loves

Somebody" from The Blues

Brothers movie. El wood and Jake

blues would be proud of this Hope

College patronage.

Another fun act was Don

Smi th ' s "Hot for Teacher . "

Unfortunately, it was fun for about

the first minute with the copying

of the Van Halen trademarks. But

then the woman is brought out and

paraded around like a show dog.

And the song then continues for

three more boring sexist minutes.

Don Smith would have been better.

served with "Panama" or "Jump"

and stuck to parodying Van Halen.

The opening song "Argument"

from the musical Chess by

"Pawns" was a good idea that

bombed. Show tunes are ripe for

translation to an .Air Jam, but a

song must be picked that the

audience can relate to. The rest of the field was filled

with solid songs that were fun to

watch, but lacked creativity

including "Poison," the Kappa

DelU* Chi's "Shoup-Shoup," and

"Stop in the Name of Love/Can't

Touch This" Medley, Intervarsity

Synchers' version of Steve Taylor's

"Life Boat" gets points for the best

•>un on the program, but it's visual

boredom sank the audience with all hands on board.

Poor chemistry destroys script

Jaz Kaner was the emcee for the 1991 Air Jam, held last Friday In the Knlck. It featured students lip-synching songs and performing to the music. The winning act was "Istanbul" by the Centurians. Big Dance Posse took second place with "Let's Rock and Roll". The Dorians captured third with "Escapade" Photo by Hoiiy VanVliet

If s tudios are going to

publicize the entire plot of a movie

it better have solid acting, good

d ia logue , a good script or

something special to offer the

audience. Marrying Man had the

potential on all counts and still

manage to botch it.

The plot concerns a rich play

boy. Alec Baldwin, on his way to

his bachelor party in Las Vegas

when he hops into bed with Kim

Basinger as the girlfriend of a

mobster, Armand Assante. The

mobster catches them, forces them

to marry and the first marriage is

off. All told these Iwo marry three

times. Since the audience knows

this going in something has to

interest the audience.

It probably was the script.

American Film the intelligent

magazine about the film industry

picked Marrying Man as one of

their ten best unproduced scripts in

1988. The script was written by

Neil Simon who has a fair success

rate with screenplays including the

hilarious Biloxi Blues with Mathew

Broderick and quite a few movies for

Walter Matheau.

But somehow the director

manages to turn probably an

excellent script into a mindless

When Harry Met Sally for the

homy set. This might have been

fine if Baldwin and Basinger could

create a spark between the two of

them. They can't which is all the

more surprising since they "fell in

love" during production and often

retired to her trailer to "practice" the scenes.

The Feb. issue of Previewer

Magazine reported. The shooting

was filled with turmoil as Basinger

solidified her reputation for treating

eyeryon^ . p q . the. set. J ike. her personal peasants. She often

showed up hours late and v uulU

constantly harangue the pm^ 'ccr

The movie went over budget and

needed reshoots after editing. And it shows.

The movie is best when

Basinger isn't even on stage.

Baldwin's four buddies deliver the

best iaughs and running gags.

Stand-up comic Paul Reiser is great as Baldwin's recurring best man.

With the buddies in camera the

movie zips along. It is here that

Simon's script is allowed to shine.

But when Baldwin and Basinger are

married the movie trudges forward.

Basinger is miscasted, Susan

Sarandon would have been much

better. Rather than creating her

own character, Basinger imitates

Michelle Pfeiffer's Oscar nominated

lounge singer in The Fabulous

Baker Boys. Where Pieiffer had

character, Basinger has bimbo. But in the end it is. a late

evening rental flick.

' : ; ' t£f\ If all Christian music could be

as good as the Michael Omartian re-

release. there wouldn't have to be a

separate designator as "Christian music."

Omartian is best known as a

six-time Grammy-winning producer

for attists like Michael Bolton.

Peter Cetera and Rod Stewart. But

in the 1970s and early 1980s he had

a siring of solo albums. The first

two of those "White Horse" (1974)

and "Adam Again" (1976) have been

remastered and re-released on one

compact disc as part of Myrrj

Records "The Contemporary

Christian Classics" series.

Contemporary Christian Music

magazine placed "White Horse" on

it's top 10 Christian albums of all

time list last year.

And they did so for good

reason. "White Horse" is excellent

music, lyrics and musicianship.

The liner notes explain that "White

Horse" was made for ABC Records

before there were strong Christian

labels. The secular company voiced

no object ions to the "overtly

biblical conlcnt" of the album.

What all this means, is that

"White Horse" can stand up against

any secular album.

The sound is ext remely

reminiscent of Steely Pan for

whom Omart ian did session

keyboards for. It also has flavors of

James Taylor, Kansas, Tonio K.

and a lot of Christian giant Keith

Green.

The CD begins with a Kansas

f lavored R&B blast ca l led

• Jeremiah." Biblically, the song

speaks of the lesser prophets and

their pain as they have to tell of the

I I . ; I -

c o m i n g d e s t r u c t i o n ' to the

unrepentant Israelites. The song is

a great start because i t 's got an

infectious kick and sound like that

of Kansas' "Cany Oh My Wayward

Son.* The last song, the title track

"White Horse," is the b i s u n the

first LP on the CD. The song is a

slow one and at over seven minutes

long, one might expect it to get

boring. It doesn't. The music is

textured and probing. Lyrically

" W h i t e Horse" d raws f rom

Revelation when the pale horse of

death comes to take the Christians

to their Father.

'Lyrically White Horse draws from Reve-lations when the pale horse of death comes to take the Christians to their father.'

The second album doesn't have

the pure power of "White Horse."

The music on both is quite similar,

but each song on "While Horse"

seems to yell "l isten" whereas

"Adam Again 's" songs are more

cohesive in that they explore one

theme and so need each other for their power.

The songs on "Adam Again"

all deal thematically with the need

for rebirth in Jesus Christ (hence to

be as pure as Adam). This is best

heard in "No Matter What Shape

You're In" where Omartian sings

"When you're holding on and you

start to fall./No matter what, what

kind of shape you're inV When

there's nothing left 'cause you've

done it all./You can count on me/

... / I ' l l a lways be the re . " "Adam Again" ends with a 20

minute series of four songs called

the "Telos Suite." " 7 ^ 5 " is Greek

and means "end," "finally," or

"complet ion." The four songs

move from a slow instrumental

"Prelude" to an uptempo tune,

"Alive and Well" in which the

Devil sings, "If you want to think I

wear a red suit, that's fine / But the

truth is I wear whatever suits me at

the time."

From the Devil 's anthem in

"Alive and Well" the "Telos Suite"

moves to a slow, poignant, "Adam

Again" in which a crumbling

marriage is portrayed. The "Suite"

closes with a rousing gospel tinged,

six minute rock number called

"Here He Comes."

A b o u t " W h i t e H o r s e , "

Omartian said, "We were still in the

embryonic stages of being able to

break out of traditional Gospel

music which was pretty passive stuff.

'...because {White Horse) had a bit of an avantgarde edge to It, a lot of th mainstream Christian people said they wouldn't even touch It.' r Omartian

* /

"I think I got a double

whammy from the standoint that,

because it was tagged a Christian

album, that alienated a lot of

people from listening to it, but also

because it had a bit of an avant-

garde edge to it, a lot of the

mainstream Christian people said they wouldn't even touch i t

"So it went to a pretty small

contingent of people who felt they

needed someting more than what

they were hearing on pop or rock

radio to sat isfy their spirit ."

Omartian explained.

Amy Grant drivel and want to hear

some superior music by any

standards, check out this new

Michael Omartian re-release of

"White Horse" and "Adam Again."

Moose loose for May Day by Richard Bouwens staff writer

The Social Activities Comm-ittee and Student Congress will co-sponsor the rock band Ruperts Orchestra for May Day the Friday before exams.

Ruperts Orchestra is an eleven-member band that sings, dances and p lays d i f f e r en t instruments. Not only does the band do original work, it also does a lot of numbers by other people as well.

Michelle I mhoff ('92) said, "They are a lot more expensive that the usual groups we get, but we're

able to get a large group for May Day because this is the final thing of the year."

There will be a picnic at noon in the Pine Grove. Not only will David Nastar, a comedian, be there at 12:30 to provide entertainment, but the radio station WKLQ will be there to broadcast live.

In the afternoon there will be a track meet sponsored by the Dow. Students can put together teams to compete in an assorted array of athletic events.

> The concert, which is to be the hight l ight of the May Day festivities, will begin around 7 p.m. in the Holland Municipal

Stadium. Imhoff explained that the concert should look really big because they are renting a large stage and a lot of light and sound equipment

Imhoff said, "Basically, the concer t at night is the big emphasis. It's free because we really want to encourage everyone to come and have a final fun evening."

The theme of May Day will be "Let your moose loose." T-shirts will be sold with that theme in mind. SAC selected the theme because the emblem resembled Bulwinkle. Imhoff said, "Wc thought it sounded like a lun theme."

Living Colour fuses influences CPS - Since the release of "Vivid,"

their critically acclaimed, multi-

platinum debut album, the members

of Living Colour have been busy

breaking down the barriers.

Both musically and racially,

Liv ing Colour has a f fec ted

rock'n'roll unlike any artists in the

past 20 years. Prince and Michael

Jackson included.

"We get a lot of letters form

kids," says drummer William

Calhoun. "Some of them admit to

not expecting black people to do

something like this. Some of them

admit to being racist."

At the 33rd Annual Grammy

Awards Feb. 20, the band's latest

album, "Time's Up," was honored

in the category of Best Hard-Rock

Performance.

Living Colour 's trademark

fusion of hard-rock roots, jazz

influence and hip-hop madness has

won them a legion of fans and

broken down the doors of restricted

creativity.

Its music is a mix of manic

vocals of Corey Glover, guitarist

Vernon Reid's six-string prowess

and the impressive rhythm section

compr i sed of bass is t Muzz

Skillings and drummer Calhoun.

Living Colour was formed in

1984 when guitarist Reid brought

together four musicians from wildly

d i f f e r e n t b a c k g r o u n d s and

influences.

Bom in England and raised in

New York, Reid studied with jazz

guitarists Ted and Rodney Bunbar

while a teenager. A stint as an

apprentice with Ronald Shannon

Jackson's Decoding Society led to

session work with the likes of

Public Enemy and Mick Jagger.

The band is currently touring in

support of its second album,

"Time's Up," a bold, hard-rocking

and powerful recording, which

touches upon a number of social

concerns including the environment,

rac ism and the na ture of relationships.

"We wanted to make a different

record, not 4Vivid 2.' (T ime ' s Up')

is a little more experimental than

the other one,"Calhoun explains.

team to sweep a twinbill from

Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic

A s s o c i a t i o n ( M I A A ) r iva l

Kaljamazoo, this past Saturday, 4-2

and 3-2.

!It seemed as though the Dutchmen were going to have to be

satisfied with a split, when, with

two outs in the top of the seventh

of game two, no one on base and

the Dutchmen down by one, Dan

Jacobs ('91) hit a routine grounder

to the Kalamazoo shortstop. But

the ball managed to find its way off

his glove and through his legs, and

the Dutchmen had another chance.

Jacobs promptly stole second

base and scored the tying-run on

Vic Breithaupt's ('91) single up the

middle, which extended Breithaupt's

hitting streak to eight games.

Seth Parker ('91) followed with

a grounder to deep short and

Breithaupt beat the throw to second.

Scott Fredrick ('92) then ripped a

two-base line drive into the right-

field comer, scoring Breithaupt with

what proved to be the winning run.

On a cold and windy day, the

story for the Dutchmen was the

striking out seven and walking five.

With the bases loaded in the

seventh and two out, Boeve gave

way to Steve DeHom ('92) who got

the final out to earn the save.

After watching Boeve earn his

first win of the year, Paul Schlaff

('93) proved his equal in doing the

same. Schlaff went the distance,

allowing only three Kalamazoo hits

while striking out seven and

walking four. , Coach Ray Allen was not

surprised with the quality of the

effort the team received from Boeve

and DeHorn. "We knew we were

going to get good pitching. 1 have

total faith in our three and four pitchers."

Hope's number one and two

pitchers, Breithaupt and Parker had

both pitched in Thursday's double-

header split with Calvin (3-0,2-1).

In the opener, Hope scored first

when Jacobs walked, stole second

and scored on Breithaupt's single.

Kalamazoo took the lead with a pair

of runs in the second, but walks

proved costly to them again in the

third when Jon Joffe (*92) took the free pass.

Joffe advanced to second on

Brent Molnar's ('94) sacrifice bunt,

moved to third on a wild pitch and

scored courtesy of an error charged

to the Kalamazoo third baseman.

Hope finished off the scoring

in the fourth on Tim Stevens' ('91)

RBI - s ing l e , scor ing Brett

Kempema ('92) and Joffe's fielder's

choice grounder to the shortstop

scoring Dave McWhinnie ('94).

Kalamazoo hurt themselves

continually, committing five errors

and leaving 11 baserunners Stranded.

Hope scored their first run in

game two in the third when Joffe

singled, stole second and scored on

Molnar's single.

Jacob's stole three bases in

game two, four on the day, giving

him ten for the year. "We did a

good job of base-running, " said

Coach Allen. "With the wind

blowing in, we had to play from

base-to-base."

The wins keep Hope atop the

MIAA with a 5-1 mark (10-15-1

overall) at the halfway point of the

league season. The Dutchmen are

the defending MIAA champions.

They return to action today,

travelling to Albion for an MIAA

doubleheader.

Panel suggests collegiate athletic reforms (CPS) - College presidents must

regain control of runaway athictic

departments that don't help athletes

and produce uneducated students

with dim futures , a private

organization has declared.

The report, following a spate

of reform measures introduced in a

number of state legislatures in

February and March, promises to

add momentum to the fitful big-

^ t ime co l l ege spor t s reform

7 movement.

College athletes "are brought

in, used and then discarded like too

much rubbish on the scrap heap of

humanity," complained the Rev.

Theodore Hesburgh, president

emeritus of the University of Notre

Dame and co-chairman of the

Knight Foundation Commission on

Intercollegiate Athletics.

Fourteen of the commission's

22 members are current or former

college presidents.

The panel said administrators

need to lake direct control of their

athletic programs, require that

student athletes get an education and

make sure that the finances of the

athletic programs are controlled by

the university, not the coaches or

athletic directors.

Indiana University Professor

Murray Sperber, author of Sports,

Inc., a book chronicl ing the

problems with college sports, didn't

think the proposals would hold

much weight.

"It has a lot of symbolic

meaning, but the real meaning remains to be seen,

"The NCAA has a history of

unraveling these reform attempts,"

Speiber. "We would love to put the

s l eaz iness of in te rco l leg ia te

athletics to rest today," Hesburgh said.

Just two months earlier, at the

annual National Colleiate Athletic

Association (NCAA) convention in

Memphis, Tenn., members passed

sevc ral changes aimed at reform.

A m o n g o the r r e f o r m s ,

representatives voted to slash the

number of scholarships in each

sport, eliminate athlete-only dorms,

require academic counseling for

athletes recruited at Division 1

schools, shorten practice time and

playing seasons, and require more

money to be spent on sports other

than men's basketball and football.

At the same time, legislators

in Nebraska, Colorado, Nevada and

Illinois introduced bills that would

allow schools in their states to

financially help student-athletes,

who often must practice 40 hours a

week before even starting to study.

Schools should not let students

play if their academic progress

wouldn't allow them to graduate

within five years, the members said.
