Kletz welcomes back students by Brad Krulthof anchor SUff Writer

How does this event compare to other Kletz activities?"

"We're both freshmen. We still love it." said Collin Carlson's friend.

"It's an intimate gathering rather than a raucous party," commented Jonathon Hoffman from the Inklings staff.

One of his colleagues, Amy B r a u n , a p p r e c i a t e d the "intelligent conversation."

Then I was asked whether I liked flip-top or pump toothpaste better, but that's Inklings material.

Watching the big-screen T V. in another area of the Kletz was Andrea Longcore's and when

asked what she thought of the night she responded. "It's better than studying."

About 250 students were expected to attend the "Welcome Back Party," according to Denise Koning, chairman of the Kletz committee.

Some future events in the Kletz will include Cosby nights on Thursdays.

Also in the planning are euchre night, a ventriloquist on October 21, specia l a c t i v i t i e s for homecoming, the Pull, and the Nykerk Competition.

"We would like the Kletz to become more of a student gathering rather than a study place," said Koning.

Bruce King drew the winner

for the $25.00 book store gift certificate. Upon winning, Steve Hughes said. "We need a camera."

Others attending the party were the golf team, some clusters from Dykstra, and Kathy Morrison, the 1988 May-Day Queen.

Free munchies were provided by the Hope College food service and included breads, cakes, cookies, and chips and cheese.

One complaint was, "We need real Cheddar cheese," from Eric Hass.

Music was live from WTHS and featured The Smiths' "There is a Light that Never Goes Out." Great Song.

Dr. Clark Bouwman, a )articipant in two trips to Nicaragua with the Witness or Peace program, will offer ocal residents a rare glimpse

of everyday life unaer the Sandanista government.

AAurrays lead Bio Week As part of the celebration of

its annual Biology Week, the H o p e C o l l e g e B i o l o g y department is sponsoring a talk on the preservation of tropical rainiorests by two experts on tropical ecology.

Dr. Kathy Winnett-Murray and Dr. Greg Murray will discuss why tropical rain f o r e s t s a r e r a p i d l y disappearing and why their extinction should be of such great concern to the entire world. Their presentation will be given today, Wednesday, September 7 at 7:30 p.m., in Room 50 of the Peale Science Center. The public is invited, and admission is free.

T h e M u r r a y s , b o t h a s s i s t a n t p r o f e s s o r s of biology at Hope, have been

conducting research on the interaction of plants and birds in the Monteverde Cloud Forest Preserve in Costa Rica for many years They note that most of the diversity in land plants and animals is in the tropical rain forests like that which they have been studying. As the t r o p i c a l r a i n f o r e s t s disappear worldwide, so will the diversity of its species.

In addition, the tropical rain forests are of importance to our global climate, as a source of food and as a source of medicinal plants. The Murrays talk tonight will be an opportunity to hear a first-hand account of the status of the important and fragile tropical ecosystem.

Beyond Hope

Village Inn a great

place to hang out If you're looking for a new

place to hang out, relax, and have some great food, the Village Inn is definitely the place to be.

Located at 934 S. Washington, the restaurant has a friendly atmosphere. Surprisingly, not many Hope students appear to have discovered it yet. Rick Kunkel, the owner, wants to change that (see coupon this issue).

Sure, it's not as close as some restaurants and pizza joints around campus, but it's well worth the trip. Best of all, if it's not worth the trip for you, or you don't have a car, they deliver everything (yes, everything!) on the menu.

Highlighting the menu is their special Chicago-style deep-dish pizza. The two-inch pan it comes l n ' s filled almost to the top. But

unlike some pizzas, it's not all dough: It's got over an inch of toppings! Best of all, it comes in four sizes, so you can eat one alone, or go in on it with your friends.

Also on the menu is a complete selection of other dinners, including lasagna, hoagie sandwiches, regular-crust pizza, and an absolutely incredible wet burrito! (Again, available for delivery, and makes a great late-night snack)

To top it all off, the Village Inn has a complete selection of beer, ^ ' n e ' m ixed drinks, and soft drinks. If you're ready for a change buzz on down to the Village Inn and give them a try, or let them deliver to you by calling 392-1818. You won't be disappointed!

Opinion

EDITORIAL Hope College 10, Church Herald 0

In the September 2 issue of the Church Herald, a "publication of the Reformed Church in America," there appeared an article about football and how it relates to the Christian context of̂ a college such as Hope. It was written by the Reverend Jeffrey Japinga, managing editor of the publication.

The article began with a short subheader that read "Is there anything Christian about what happens on the football fields of our RCA colleges?" From this, we gathered that the article was going to go on and tell us how non-Christian football was, and how the sport compromises the Christian context of Hope College.

For example, one of the very first sentences states "To follow football, or any sport, is to observe an often unholy practice, where anger is vented, old scores settled, arguments pursued." This statement, at least from our perspective, could be construed as being very non-Christian in its own origin: Condemnation of another person's beliefs or practices.

Rev. Japinga even goes so far as to make the statement "God in no way cares about the outcome of a football game." First of all. a statement like this is absurd; who is the author to say what God may or may not think? Second, to bring this to the same absurd level, perhaps God is a Raiders fan. Or. to really stretch things, a Lions fan! Who are we to say?

Further on. near the end of the article, the author makes a statement, however, that shows that he is trying not to make waves with those he writes about He says that there is no "reason to worry that student-athletes are taught the wrong perspective on sport at Hope..." apparently in order to pacify everyone involved Where before he out-and-out condemns football players and coaches alike, he now adjusts it to basically say that "Oh. at Hope, that's different "

Rev. Japinga ends his article with the rather nebulous statement "temples built to false gods can be but a defeat or two away." never actually taking a stance on the issue at hand. Are schools like Hope and other RCA colleges showing their Christian contexts within their athletic programs? What exactly is Rev. Japinga saying, or does he even know9

^ Most likely, he is trying to make a point that football is not for Christians, but he does not want to come right out and say so, for fear he will offend everyone concerned.

Hope College football coach H a y S m i t h , w h o w a s interviewed for the article, states that he feels that participating in a sport is good for a person, but just a few sentences further on in the article. Rev. Japinga says that "that is the coach's view of the world."

Labor Day Brings the Blues coach Smith reiterated his f e e l i n g s tha t at H o p e , a c a d e m i c s c o m e b e t o r e athletics, but they are both a necessary part of the college experience. Apparently, Rev Japinga feels that this is not so.

Are t h o s e of us who participate in sports to be condemned for leading a non-Christian life? Or can football coexist with Christianity at a college like Hope, or even in the "rear'worfd? We think it can

Yeah, yeah, 1 know. Every year, it's the same old thing."

Last year, we asked why we're forced to attend c lasses on Good Friday at a Christian college. It hasn't changed, either: This year. Labor Day rolled around again, and g u e s s what? C l a s s e s in s e s s i o n a g a i n ! But you already knew that.

So why am I beating a dead horse again this year, you ask? Because in this case, it's not so much whether it's "right" to attend classes on this particular holiday - it's whether or not it's "nice," I suppose you could say.

From what I've heard in t h e g r u m b l i n g s a r o u n d campus, most oi us wish we had had Labor Dav off. to do

whatever. Just for a break, if nothing else.

And if you went downtown, for example, (if you can call a s h o p - l i n e d s a n d d u n e "downtown") you noticed that it looked like a picture of one of those ghost towns from t h e s p a g h e t t i w e s t e r n s (minus the tumbleweeds). Why? You guessed it! No one was working!!!

Now, I realize that maybe there would have been more of a stir on campus if the weather had been warm enough to go the the beach. Be that as it mav, whv can't we have the holiday off, regardless of the weather, regardless of the fact that c l a s s e s began the week before?

Then again, maybe I'm wrong about all of this Maybe 1 should say to myself "Hey, no one "is really expected to celebrate Labor Day, so why should we have it as a day off?"

If so," what happens when a holiday comes up that we s h o u l d b e e n t i t l e d to celebrate, especially here at H o p e C o l l e g e ? A n y in particular come to mind'1

Maybe by the t ime such a holiday rolls around, like say, um, er...Good Friday, we will have thought enough about it to make some sort of a statement to the college.

Of course, it probably won't be warm enough to go to the beach then, either

Letter to the Editor

T h u r s d a y the 15th of September will mark one of the most important days in the fiscal year of Student Congress. It is a day without w h i c h o u r s t u d e n t government - our student voice - could not exist. Of course 1 am talking about the annual Student Congress Elections.

T h e s e e l e c t i o n s w i l l d e t e r m i n e not only the composition of the Congress, but they will determine the scope, direction, and strength which our organization will have this year. Obviously if the elections provide the s c h o o l w i t h m e d i o c r e , unambitious representatives, Student Congress will be unproductive. The kind of people we are looking for and need are hard working, accountable, and ambitious students who want to make a difference.

The duties of a congress member include the weekly meetings and their respective b o a r c l o r c o m m i t t e e meetings. Each m e m b e r will be assigned to one or more boards or commit tees . These include organizat ions such as the Curriculum Commit tee 1 reviews and revises the core curr iculum), the Residential Life C o m m i t t e e (hand le s issues such as par ie ta ls , dining hall quality, and public s a f e l y ) , t h e * A t h l e t i c Committee (approves sports s c h e d u l e s , a e c i d e s on recipients of athletic awards) and many more.

Congress m e m b e r s work

closely with faculty and a d m i n i s t r a t o r s on these boards and committees, and their votes on issues are equal to the votes of faculty and adminis trat ion members . The congress member is therefore given a strong voice and a good deal of power in these positions and really can make a difference.

The election procedure is very simple. Just pick up a pet i t ion at the Student Congress office (across the hall from WTHS), and have twenty-five (25) students from your district sign it ( r e f e r to t h e d i s t r i c t definitions posted near the o f f i c e door , or in the advertisement in this paper). Your p e t i t i o n m u s t be returned to the office by Friday, the 9th of September. As stated before, the elections w i l l be t h e f o l l o w i n g Thursday. Only people from your district can vote for you. so do some campaigning in your dorm, apartment, or whatever, and get the vote out on the 15th.

If something about Hope bothers you, I urge you to join Student Congress ' If you would like to work more c l o s e l y w i t h f a c u l t y m e m b e r s , j o in S t u d e n t Congress. If you want to make a difference in the world a r o u n d you. give Student Congress a try.

Good luck next Thursday,

Thomas Kyros, President Student Congress

"Excuse me. Van Wylen, are you awake young man?"

"Hi Graves. I'm always up I'm young, remember. You remember young don't you? If not,I can lend you some books on the subject in case you've forgotten what it's like to be in the spring of youth."

"Thank you. but no. I still remember quite well what it was like to be impetuous, annoying and young."

"Hey, that's sarcasm. Oh, Graves you're still the card I wish I could be you, but I don't want to be that old and smelly."

"I do not smell. I've been remodeled."

"Sure, right, you got it..." "Van Wylen. be quiet." "Right." "1 want to talk to you about

that repulsive hole between Van Zoeren and Vander Werf."

"What about it?" "DeWitt and I were chatting

and we decided that we want you to stop the construction."

"It's just some offices and classrooms with some physics stuff in the basement. Hardly

A Slip of fheMind by Jim AAonnett anything to get your stones up about."

"Leave my stones out of this. We are not against the idea of new offices, classrooms or new physics 'stuff.' What we are concerned about is the trend thai Hope is exhibiting "

"1 thought only DePree was exhibing anything By the way have you seen that kinetic energy stuff? Good stuff. 1 had some of my mice go over and take pictures; video actually They really liked the stuff."

Van Wylen, 1 want you to listen to me. I'm sure the DePree exhibition is very good, but that has absolutely no relevance to what I'm talking about."

"My, aren't we stuffy!" "The hole, Van Wylen? We're

talking about the hole." "Okay, fine. Let me get this

straight. You and DeWitt don't like some trend relative to the hole. What's the problem? Is it not aesthetically pleasing to your eye?"

"That's more than enough Van Wylen Be quiet and listen to me or I will have your power shut off. As soon as the college f in i shed bui ld ing you and Admiss ions they announced p l a n s to b u i l d t h e n e w connection. With a big, new library and more classrrom space the college seems to be expecting more people. Now DeWitt tells me that that is the case with the last two freshman classes being over 600 students each. We've also heard rumors of the college planning a new dorm. Now I'm not against expansion.

The more buldings, the more company we have."

"So what's the problem9" 4 ' I t h i n k t h e c o l l e g e

administration should tell the student body what the long range plans for Hope College are. For instance, will more students mean bigger classes, less access to professors, more autonomy, bigger crowds at Phelps? Long term, will a bigger student body at Hope mean a loss of the p r e s e n t h i g h e d u c a t i o n a l standards? Hope has come a long way since 1 was built, and I do not want to see quality sacrificed for quantity."

"Oh 1 get it. Growth means change and change must be bad. For being such an old geezer. G r a v e s , you s u r e can be ignorant. Educational standards haven't dropped since Peale was built and they certainly haven't dropped with my construction. If anything, standards have risen. Change is good. So 1 won't do your dirty work and stop construction on the hole.

"Listen to me. Sonny. You must stop construction so that the administration will be forced to reevaluate their priorities."

"1 won't do it." "You must." "Enough," the word rumbled

through the campus. The oldest building had awakened. Van 1

Vleck continued, "Hope College 1

has grown a lot more from my days than it will in the next twenty years . Graves, quit i butting in where you don't belong. The Board of Trustees and the administration only have • the college's best interests in mind. If and when they forget i their p lace and put other interests above those of the students', I do believe that the students' will stand up and be heard upon their own behalf. They can do a lot more than an old building like you "

'Betrayed spotlights supremacy By Diane Tague anchor SUff Writer

H there is one word that describes the movie "Betrayed" it is disturbing. "Betrayed11 is d irector Costa -Gavras* (Z, Missing) most controversial and unsettling film as he forcefully examines the underground white supremacist movement in the United States.

Debra Winger plays Catherine Phillips, an FBI agent who goes undercover to investigate ZOG ( Z i o n i s t O r g a n i z a t i o n Government), a racist group

against "Jews running the country and niggers policing it." P h i l l i p s e a s i l y b e c o m e s acquainted with Gary who is the target of her investigation. At first she is attracted to Gary and views him only as loving and rather incapable of hurting anyone. But when Gary trusts Phillips enough to take her along on a "hunt", she is shocked and horrified, realizing Gary and the others are nothing more than ruthless, cold-blooded killers. The audience easily experiences Winger's feelings of nausea as a black man is hunted down like an

animal and shot to death for no reason other than the color of his skin. The nonchalant, cold, and supremacist attitude of this p r e j u d i c e d a n d r a c i s t organization is expressed by Gary as he explains the hunt to Phillips, "It's your first killing. It's just a nigger - don't make too much out of this." The fact thai there are people in the U .S. today who place absolutely no value on the lives of blacks and Jews is highly concerning.

As the movie progresses it is apparent that Phillips is in way too deep. The more ZOG trusts

her, the more the FBI pushes her to dig deeper and deeper. But what the FBI falls to realize (or just ignores in order to use Phillips) is ZOG is a huge organization spanning across the entire U.S. including politicians. Winger does an excellent job of portraying a "used" Phillips by both the FBI and ZOG.

Another dimension to the film is Gauras' treatment of the FBI. Although the FBI does not discriminate against anyone, it does take killing just as lightly as ZOG. After killing a member of ZOG, a FBI agent states "I felt

like I just wiped something off my shoes." With statements like this, is makes us stop and ask, just who are the good guys anyway?

It is very rare when a movie dares to explore an issue so shocking and upsetting as in " B e t r a y e d . " W i t h t h e combination of excellent acting by W i n g e r , a n d a g u t s y presentation of an unexplored but existing subject matter in the U.S., "Betrayed" is a powerful movie that every American should see.

AAadden-Roth to sing talk songs in Kletz

A t a l e n t e d and p o p u l a r Michigan guitarist and singer will be on the Hope College campus Sunday, September 11 to perform a concert at 8 p.m. in the DeWitt Center Kletz.

Pat Madden-Roth will bring her distinctive folk music to Hope in an event sponsored by t h e W o m e n ' s I s s u e s Organization. Admission is free.

Madden-Roth has been singing and playing guitar professionally for over 10 years in Michigan and North Carolina churches, clubs, c o f f e e h o u s e s , and c o n c e r t s e t t i n g s . A f e w of h e r performances have taken her to Adrian Col lege , K a l a m a z o o Col lege , Western Mich igan

University, The Ten Pound Fiddle in East Lansing, and the Jackson Peace Network. She has performed solo, in duets, and even with a jazz trio.

Now coming into her own as a songwriter as well, her original material often elicits strong responses from her audience. Many of Madden-Roth's songs e m p h a s i z e p e r s o n a l relationships and experiences on global issues. Whether it's the t o u c h i n g t r i b u t e to h e r grandmother, "Trudy's House," or her witty treatise on children's c o m m e r c i a l t e l e v i s i o n , "Saturday Morning Rapture," a u d i e n c e s are sure to be engaged.

'Innovations' rocks Hope A brisk Monday even ing

welcomed a large crowd of Hope students to the first dance of the y e a r , o n A u g u s t 2 9 . Entertainment was provided by "Innovation", who spent the evening showing students "how they do things down South." The dance seemed to get off to a slow

start, but, after the band took a "short" break (with the promise Qf fro** posters upon their return), the crowd started to relax and enjoy.

With a talented mix of cover songs from old standards like "Twist and Shout" "Shout" and to Janet Jackson's "Control",

"Innovation," provided a lively (and loud) backdrop the students excited reunions.

Although quite a few people couldn't get into the music, most seemed to agree that it was a great improvement over the welcome back dance of the year before.

Bill Meengs

Gooooooood Morning Hope College! Okay, so it's probably not still morning, 1 thought it'd be a good, attention grabbing opening line. 1 suppose the first thing I should do is introduce myself, since many of you wouldn't know me from Greg Stefan .("Who's Greg Stefan?," many of you are asking. My point exactly.) I am a sophomore working towards an English major. 1 live in Bell Cottage while on campus. When I'm not at Hope, I call Petoskey, Michigan home. It's like up in the Great White North, eh? 1 don't really know how I became sports editor. 1 wrote one column last year as a replacement for Ben Hanneman, who was on strike with the NFL at the time, then next thing I know I'm writing this column as sports editor. Oh well, stuff happens

The next thing I should probably do is explain the nature of this column No, it is not some perverted, sick allusion; and those of you who thought that

s h o u l d b e a s h a m e d ui yourselves. Being from the Great White North, I have become a big hockey fan. I also play street hockey whenever I can. My usual position is goalie, and the area in front of the goal where the goalie plays is called the goal crease. Therfore when you play goal, you are In The Crease. Very good; I see you're catching pn. There will be more hockey lessons in future columns (not many though, so you people who don't like hockey, — if such a person exists — don't need to worry)

The last thing I'd like to say is that this column will contain my own opinions. 1 don't expect you to agree with me all of the time (99 percent of the time will be fine), but I do hope you at least take the time to read it. I'll try and make it entertaining and worth your time. Also, if you have any comments, leave them in the Anchor office, or send them to me at Belt Cottage. I am interested in what you think. See you next week . . . In The Crease!
