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
concerns from the student body.

W h a t a re your goals as Vice
P r e s i d e n t ?
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
line of my philosophy is, I want to
work with and for you.
Miklosi, work on a variety of tasks.
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
future, the goals of the students are
met and that requires not only one-
on-one talks with the students but
also looking into administration to
ensure those wishes are met.

S h o u p : As President, my main
objective would be to communicate
to the administration the needs and

feel there is a need to communicate

decided at the administrative level.
To be President would allow
me to work towards my goals of
making Hope College a better
place. I would like to see such
changes as students being notified
of where their money is going,

commitment. The capability to
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.

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."

to relieve the President of any tasks

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
benefit all students, including those
rtot involved in any student
organizations. When distributed in
this manner, the Student Activity
Fund acts to promote the general
welfare of the entire student body.
•
V a n E e n e n a a m : Foremost is the
fact that the Student Activity Fund

distribution must be based on

fairness. Good reasons behind a
request for funding should be
followed by good reason from the

Overall, 1 find the most important
thing to remember is that this

should be used accordingly.
Why are you qual i f ied to

Votava : I have served on Student

In 1989-90, as Vice President, I
served on the Appropriat ions

with the system and appropriations
issues every day for the last two
years. I have attended three national
conferences teaching leadership and
motivation, and have served on nine
major committees, including the
Board of Trustees Committee of
Business and Finance. I have only
missed one Student Congress
meeting at Hope, and that was on
official Student Congress business.

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, come to the final blowout

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
o rgan iza t ion , the Mich igan
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
aren't sculptured from the stati
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.
So if you're sick of the latest
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

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.
