"Pig" Needs Work
by Alister L. Majestik
Hope College has a boat.
Sort of.
The "Hope 1". nicknamed the
"Blue P i g " by students who have
been on the boat, is regularly used by the geology d e p a r t m e n t .
Both the o c e a n o g r a p h y and
sedimentology classes run labs
on L a k e M a c a t a w a ( a n d
sometimes Lake Michigan
several times during the year.)
On one such lab last year, one
engine went out while the other
would only go in reverse, leaving
the " P i g " going in circles
backwards.
When asked about the engines,
Geology D e p a r t m e n t C h a i r m a n
Cotter Tharin stated "They still
work more or less."
"The engines need a m a j o r
overhaul," stated one employee
at Bay Haven where the " P i g " is
kept.
T h e two 300 h o r s e p o w e r
engines haven't been replaced in
the boat's entire history. Tharin,
who is main operator of the boat,
estimated the age of the boat at
20 to 25 years.
"Admittedly it needs a lot of
work." stated John Bartley, a
colleague of T h a r i n ' s in the
geology d e p a r t m e n t .
Another Bay Haven employee,
stating that he "didn't want my
n a m e in the Hope p a p e r " , said,
"If you want, we can put it in the
water and watch it sink. The
engine drives a r e shot. They
need to be rebuilt. .. Mechanically she needs a lot of work. . .
(The) whole hull needs to be
r e d o n e . . . That boat won't run.
"The boat just needs renovation," stated Tharin. "This boat
is old enough that there are
things to be dope with it to m a k e
it first r a t e . "
Why all the problems with
maintaining the boat?
According to Tharin, last year
was the first y e a r the geology
d e p a r t m e n t ever got any money
specifically for m a i n t e n a n c e in
the budget. Before that, the
i
iilK'
The 44Blue Pig" waits to be redeployed, (photo: A. Majestik)
" P i g " had to be supported byfunds squeezed out of the geology
d e p a r t m e n t ' s operating budget.
"Therein lies the p r o b l e m , " said
Tharin.
To cut down on maintenance
costs, students have used lab
periods to give the boat a new
paint job.
But the " P i g " needs more than
paint. Besides what has been
stated, the steel hull needs some
work, ("I just wish we had a
fiberglass hull. It'd be so much
better," stated Tharin) and the
r a d a r is not working due to stolen
parts.
Other items have been stolen in
y e a r s past and, upon inspection
of the boat, it was found that
security was not too tight (See interior picture).
Tharin, though, is optimistic
about the future of the boat. " I ' m
pleased with the direction that
the college is taking (toward its
funding)", he stated.
Bill Anderson, vice-president
of finance, said, "I think we m a y
have budgeted around $1500 (for
the boat's m a i n t e n a n c e ) this
year."
But Thanrin does not feel this
is quite enough. "What we need
is j u s t a l i t t l e bit m o r e
maintenance money to bring it
up to snuff. A lot of stuff that has
to be done can be done inexpensively, but it's not c h e a p . "
" T h e r e ' s only so much you can
do with an old boat," stated
Bartley. "(But) if you were going
to buy a new version of that boat
you're talking about a lot of
money."
" T h e school should just sell it
and get a new b o a t , " added a Bay
Haven employee.
" F r o m a m a i n t e n a n c e point of
view, we could certainly use a
new boat with a fiberglass hull,"
Tharin r e m a r k e d .
But, until money can be found,
the "Hope 1" will continue to be
used. "We wouldn't use it if we
didn't think it was s a f e , " Bartley
stated.
A Hope student had other feelings: "Sure it looks like fun. I can
swim. I'm not worried. M

What? Alcohol? On Hope's
C a m p u s ? Not q u i t e . F r o m
September 17-21, Hope is sponsoring an Alcohol Awareness

things, a k e y n o t e s p e a k e r ,
Cathleen Brooks.
She will be presenting 3 lectures during the week, the first of
which will be on M o n d a y

Auditorium, entitled "The Secret
Everyone Knows." Her second
speech, " I t ' s O.K. to Say No,"
will be given at 11:00 a.m. on
Tuesday, Sept. 18. It will address
the problem of dealing with peer
pressure and alcohol. Her final
speech, to be given on Tuesday,
September 18 at 7:30 in Wichers
Auditorium, entitled "Some of
My Best Friends Are Alcoholics"
will deal with what to do when
friends or family have an alcohol
problem.
Throughout the week, there
will be other activities going on
that concern the topic of alcohol.
For example, Cathleen Brooks
will be having small group
meetings with Head Residents,
Resident Assistants, Student
Leaders and m e m b e r s of Greek
Organizations, and, on Tuesday,
September 18, at 1:30 - 3:00 p.m.
she will be available in the Guest

But t h a t ' s not all! To top off the
week, there will be a Happy Hour
on Friday, September 21 from
3:30-5:30 on the Patio of DeWitt
Center. "Doesn't that defeat the
purpose of the w e e k ? " you may
ask. Don't worry, the free drinks
will be non-alcoholic.
Election Day in
Progress
by Bethany Van Duyne
The Student Congress elections
being held today in Phelps promise to hold some interesting
results as more than 40 people
ran for some 30 positions.
In recent y e a r s not enough
students have expressed interest
in running for a representative
position on Student Congress.
This y e a r though, response has
been encouraging throughout
campus.
The largest turnouts were from
Kollen with 11 people running,
Phelps with five running and
Dykstra with seven people running. Out of this group the five
representatives f r o m Kollen, the
two from Phelps and the four
from Dvkstra will be determined.
Once elected to the Student
Congress the 30 new m e m b e r s
will be responsible for holding
positions on various governing
boards and committees. These
boards a r e also comprised of not
only students but a corresponding number of faculty m e m b e r s
and administrative personnel.
One of the biggest committees is
the Appropriations Committee
with an $80,000 budget to be
distributed to various organizations and groups around the campus and community.
The elcetions for the three
d o r m s , Kollen, Phelps, and
Dykstra will be during all m e a l s
today and at bDth e n t r a n c e s to
the cafeteria. Please vote!

Elections:
A Continuing Story
by Gregory S. Olgers
Voting for the eleven disputed seats on the Student Congress-those of Dykstra.
Kollen, and Phelps Halls-continucs throughout lunch and dinner today.
Of the thirty available seats, only eleven are in dispute. The other nineteen, by
virtue of the number of petitions submitted, will be filled automatically.
This means that sixty-three percent of the Student Congress (not counting its
three officers) will consist of students who were not elected by their peers.
This is not to criticize those persons who displayed enough interest to file a petition; they are to be commended. This is not to find fault with the 2,500 students who
failed to file petitions-we might decry their apathy, but the time for that is past.
This is simply to remind the residents of Dykstra, Kollen, and Phelps Halls that
they alone of the members of the student body will have the opportunity to select
their representalives--and they are encouraged to do so.
The voting process is quite simple: each student need only approach one of the
voting tables (which are standing adjacent to each of the two entrances to the
cafeteria) and identify which of the three residence halls concerned they live in.
They will then be asked to present their student ID (which will be stamped to mark
them as having voted) and make their selections. The time required by this process is about two minutes-three if there is a line.
Although it is often difficult to see the bearing that the Student Congress and its
members has on our lives, that bearing does exist. They are active in the administrative boards of the college; they make decisions that effect us all; they
determine-for us-some of the directions Hope College will be taking in both this
coming year and future years.
The students living in Dykstra, Kollen, and Phelps Halls will have the opportunity at lunch and dinner today to select the persons that shall be making those decisions for the entire Hope community.

Send Your Cod fish to Cambodia
by Bob Clifford
. Pardon me for asking, but doesn't
anyone care about anything more
consequential than whether to wear
Argyle socks with their Penny
Loafers or if the cafeteria has devised some new and wicked way to
serve the cod fish that's sometimes
gone but never forgotten? Apathy
and provincialism are taking over
the campus. I don't mean to say concern for the fish is without warrant.
Heaven forbid! Even the most preoccupied student with a head cold
knows ten minutes before they leave
their dorm that some curious variation on the cod casserole theme
awaits them at Phelps Hall. As you
well know, that overwhelming urge
to hold your nose and run (not walk)
ti the nearest Burger King is an all
too frequent occurence. 1 myself subsribe to the theory that some budget
oriented person in the food service
department was made an incredible
offer from a crupulous traveling fish
saleman. He was suave and charming. In less time than it takes to fillet
a flopping flounder, Hope College
was the proud owner of sic hundred
and fifty five thousand pounds of PreCivil Warcod fish.
While some are concerned with
matters of digestion, Muffy and Biff
are busy keeping up with the Jones
(or is it Calvin Klein?). Fashion is
one way we show our individuality
(or lack of it). Far be it from me to
suggest that our appearance is unimportant. I just think there might be
other topics of concern after we've

G e r g o r y S. O l g e r s , in the
September 6th issue of the Anchor,
says more than a mouthful about the
level of student apathy on campus.
He said that so few students filed
petitions to run for a seat in the Student Congress last year, the election
was canceled, and all those who had
submitted petitions were
automatically appointed to Congress.
What's the problem? Is there a curse
on the Student Congress? Have all
the students who previously served
died from some grizzly, unspeakable
horror? Let me reassure you that
none of tttSe things are true. In fact,
most Student Congressmen even
graduate. What separates them from
the rest of the flock is a concern for
what is going on around them. Some
of them may have run for office for
the sole purpose of trying to get the
cafeteria to donate their supply of
cod figh to a worthy charity. The fact
that they were concerned enough to
get involved is the important thing. >

slightly exaggerated. Hopefully they

dollar activity fee that goes to the
Head Residents, should be turned
over to the fraternity so they can use
it for special activities. These are my
ideas. Pm sure you'll have others.
Running for the Student Congress
is only one way to get such opinions
heard. Join a club on campus; write
a letter to the editor; send your congressman a note; or send yesterday^

be a vegetable! Until we get involved, Hope is Just the college we attend,
and America is Just the placeAve live.

Say 'Yes' to Sprinklers
by Mort Ellis
It s e e m s as if an unknown person is not pleased with the irrigation systems on campus. Getting
wet while walking around campus is annoying, however any individual who is capable of seeing
and walking at the s a m e time
should also be capable of stepping around a sprinkler if. it is is
his path. To set the record
straight, there are some reasons
why the sprinklers are being run
the way they are.
First, the Van Raalte-Chapel
area is very large, and in order to
w a t e r it e f f i c i e n t l y , l a r g e
sprinkers must be used. It would
be too costly to maintain a
system of small brass sprinkers
in that area. Furthermore, those
sprinklers are intended to spray
over (and, inevitably, on to) the
sidewalks in order to allow that
system's m a x i m u m efficiency,
Secondly, the s y s t e m s in the
Pine Grove, G r a v e s , and
V o o r h e e s a r e a s are not
automatic, and therefore must
be turned on m a n u a l l y .
E v e r y o n e k n o w s « t h a t Hope
doesn't like to pay overtime, and
so those sprinklers will probably
never be turned on during the
wee hours. What the unhappy
columnist should complain about
is the absence of an automated
system in those areas,
Finally, the matter of daytime
sprinkling around. Dow, and
Kollen, both of those buildings
underwent reseeding over the
summer, and hence must be
watered several times a day.
Grin it and bear it, because it
now looks better than it did. Also,
the bushes are supposed to be
getting w e t . . . a s . far as the
buildings, who cares?
When considering the appearance of our fine campus, a
point worth complaining about is
the fact that everyone and their
roommate finds loy in driving
along the sidewalks which run
through campus. This results in a
12 inch margin of dirt and broken
sprinklers. The funding ot these
unnecessary repairs ultimately
c o m e s from the student's pocket,
Well, this g i v e s us all something
to think about

Leaders Meet
by James TeKerk
The leaders of twenty of Hope's
student organizations met for dinner
at Point West last Friday evening for
the start of a multi-part leadership
seminar.
According to Sue Langejans,
Director of Student Activities and
organizer of the seminar, the evening
was designed "to be motivational for
student leaders...to give them a base
of experience; to make them feel better prepared for the year...(and) to
develop relationships with other student leaders."
Following the dinner, the activities
began with a discussion of methods of
"Creative Leadership" by Bob Stoll,
Director of Student Activities for
Grand Valley State College. Stoll
presented some Important motivational factors highlighting as essential growth, recognition, achievement. participationrand enjoyment.
Later, the leaders of the organizations present; which included SAC.
Black Coalition, most of Hope's
fraternities and sororities. Student
Congress, and Women's Issues;
divided into discussion groups and
worked on solving four hypothetical
problems.
Included among the situations
which they were, faced with were a
leader-group conflict, a groupindividual conflict, a noise complaint, and a press slander case.
Each problem possessed certain conditions which made it unique, and
demanded a different approach in its
solution.
Finally, the leaders of three of
Hope's student organizations - the
Anchor, the Milestone, and WTHS discussed ways in which their own
organizations are overcoming recent
adversity - adversity ranging from a
local failure of student interest to
legal problems beyond the Hope community.
On the success of the evening.
Langejans commented, "1 thought
that the student leaders came away
with a little more knowledge (and)
did build new relationships. It was a
good start for the year."

this concern, a new student
organization is being formed
called GAO (Global A w a r e n e s s

Did you know one student at
Hope College believed a foreign
student when he c l a i m e d 8
million people in P a k i s t a n had
died of a n u c l e a r b o m b a t t a c k by
Iran. This student w a s obviously

such an e v e n t - t h a t everyone
would know if it h a d h a p p e n e d .
The news c o v e r a g e would h a v e
been enormous. This student
needs to join GAO. GAO goals are to respond to
and g e n e r a t e interest in global
a f f a i r s and become a w a r e of the
directions the world is taking today. Tentatively, this y e a r ' s
theme for GAO is South Africa

Housing Looked Info
by Louis Valantasis
What does one think of when
the word , 4 college" comes to
mind? There are visions of study- •
ing at midnight, sporting events.
Homecoming parades, and, of
course, dorm living.
Hope College has done ext r e m e l y well in o r g a n i z i n g
students with prospective dormitory residences, especially
this year where the f r e s h m a n
class swelled in n u m b e r s to be
recognized as Hope's largest.
Even so, the college's housing
directors aptly handled the
placement of students for oncampus housing. There a r e quite
a few aspects involved with housing that must be considered
seriously, or severe problems
arise between students and facultyMany freshman and others
might be wondering how they
were put into Dykstra, Phelps, or
even a • fraternity house.
Foremost, those who plan on
returning after a year to Hope
have the option of either staying
in the room that they occupied
during the previous semester,
w h i c h is s o m e t h i n g c a l l e d
" s q u a t t e r ' s rights", or entering a
lottery in which new rooms are
chosen once the upper classmen
pay a deposit sometime during
the spring s e m e s t e r . Those who
have the most credits, seniors,
a r e given first priority to choose
the room and location which they
prefer; then juniors have a
chance, then finally sophomores,
F r e s h m e n are placed in the remaining rooms and are matched
with r o o m m a t e s with help from
the c a r d s which list their interests, preferences, etc. There
is an innumerable amount of
time that the housing advisors
expend attempting to match up
near perfect r o o m m a t e s judging
the personalities of hundreds of
students by information c a r d s
only.
Once students have been given
a room, paid dorm fees, and settled in, there is the natural succession of the specific c a m p u s
rules and regulations to abide by.
The three m a j o r rules which appiy to all living q u a r t e r s on campus a r e policies on alcohol,
parietals and quiet hours within
residence halls and cottages,
These are the m a j o r problems
and rules that both students and
administration come into contact
with more frequently v The rules
a r e not meant to totally restrict
students, however, but to provide
a healthy environment conducive
to study and enjoyable for all
concerned. Whether a student is
attending Hope or any other institution, alcohol, parietals, and
quiet hours would most likely be
the most important issues raised
and confronted. Ground rules
must be set in order to effectively
deal with the n u m e r o u s
backgrounds and value systems
which comprise a college campus.
Donna Kocher, who is handling
the fall s e m e s t e r ' s housing.
r e m a r k s that despite this y e a r ' s
large f r e s h m a n and t r a n s f e r
group, which definitely put
pressure on the housing situation. operations went fairly
smoothly.
H o u s i n g a dm i n i s t r a t o r s feel that their
foremost concern is providing
evervone who is to reside onc a m p u s a place to live, this year
there were a few empty spaces
left over once housing
assignments were dispatched.
however, any problems that have
or might arise will undoubtedly
. be handled adequately by housing authorities.
Design Room Gets Class
bv Amy Raffety
The problem of finding a space
for the theatre design classes is
an old one. In past y e a r s the
classes have been held in the projection booth above the theatre,
in a small room across from the
present location of the College
Relations office, in room L14 of
DeWitt basement; and for one
semester the art and t h eatr e
design classes shared space in
DePree Art Center, according to
Richard Smith, Associate Professor of Theatre.
However, all of these alternatives failed to meet the special
needs of the design classes.
Ideally, this classroom needs to
be large enough for fifteen
students to work long hours in,
including space for fifteen drafting tables and stools; it needs to
be well-ventilated and well-lit; it
needs a source of water; and it
needs to be near the t h eatr e
department for the accessibility
of students to faculty.
Because of these complications, theatre students were putting off taking the design classes
they needed in hopes that the problem would be resolved.
The administration and the
theatre department worked out a
plan for what was needed to provide the students with the
f a c i l i t i e s for a p o s i t i v e ,
beneficial learning experience. A
compromise was reached to
renovate the existing t h e a t r e
space in the basement of DeWitt.
Last year the three rooms in
the DeWitt basement were used
for the costume shop and for
small prop and costume storage.
The prop room, the largest of the
three rooms, now houses the
c o s t u m e shop a n d c o s t u m e
storage. A second floor w a s added over part of the room to increase space for storage and to
eliminate the danger of students
and faculty climbing a
f001
ladder to reach the
c o n d - l e v e l of costume y<*c •
Props have been rnoyed to ^
former wrestling room in the
basement of Kollen Hall. The
smallest of these rooms, which
used to be the costume shop annex, is now being used lor additional costume storage.
The design room is now located
in what used to be the costume
shop. It is roomy, well-lit, wellventilated and meets all the
needs of the design students.
Lois Carder, Acting Chair of
the Theatre Department, praised
^ "cooperation and generosity
^
administration) m pr
viding tor the students' needs."
Of the changes that have taken
place in the theatre, Ms. Carder
says, "We'll be able to train
students better in the classroom
and in the costume shop and
therefore we'll be able to serve
the audience better. All of us, the
T h e a t r e D e p a r t m e n t , theatre
students and the administration,
can now go on. A burden has been
lifted with the resolution of the
problem."
The theatre department is hoping to have an open house on the
opening night of the first Hope
T h e a t r e p ro d u c t i o n so that
everyone will have a chance to
see the changes that have taken
place.

to explain a few things.
At the request of the President
and the Provost Dr. Bruins is serving a three year term as a Dean.
The function of a Dean is to help
make this College run efficiently.
The Deans of each d e p a r t m e n t

both his wishes and concerns

chairpersons, problem solving,
hiring and budget approval
within his d e p a r t m e n t .
If all those responsibilities
aren't enough to keep a Dean

keeps professors in touch with

where a department is lacking or
how things could be changed for

Freshmen Break Out
-Things Start Popping
by Todd VerBeek
As I walked out of the DeWitt
Center on Thursday evening, 6
September, 1984 something w a s
in the air.
I had just finished processing a
series of pictures and w a s "looking f o r w a r d to" solving s o m e
Physics problems, but something
alerted my senses. Could it be--?-There had been rumors--!
surveyed the clearing between
DeWitt and Nykerk and Kollen
and the Delphi House. On both
sides of 12th Street were crowds
of water-balloon-toting students.
This was it: The annual War of
the Water!
I sprinted across the clearing
to get my c a m e r a . Despite the
s p o r a d i c l o b b i n g of w a t e r balloons by slingshot, I m a d e it to
my room in the F r a t Complex
and back safely. Most of the
forces on the north side of the
clearing were crowded around
the entryway"of Nykerk. I tried
to get myself into a safe, elevated
position on the porch of DeWitt
for a better viewpoint but with no1
success. Realizing my only
chance at any good pictures w a s
on the lower ground. 1 left my
position of safety and leapt in
among the a r m e d students.
I found myself face to face with
men and women a r m e d with
water-balloons and buckets of
w a t e r , and wearing j e r s e y s
which read "87 P U L L " . I quickly
snapped several pictures of the
balloon-launcher in action while
students eyed me suspiciously.
Suddenly, a number of f r e s h m e n
charged out of Nykerk. attracting the fire of the assembled
crowd. About midway through
this initial b a r r a g e , this reporter
received a direct hit to the groin
from a water-balloon. Since my
attention (as well as my c a m e r a )
was focused on the p r i m a r y
targets of this volley, I did not
see it coming.
I withdrew to the relative.safety of DeWitt porch and was able
to focus on the door to Nykerk.
Inside were more f r e s h m e n , held
hostage. 1 snapped some shots of
them through the glass doors of
the building. I could see that
some of t h e m were going to attempt an escape. In twos and
threes, they m a d e a b r e a k for the
only place of safety in r e a c h : the
far side of the clearing. It w a s
then that I saw the sophomores'
special weapon. A n u m b e r of
elite, highly-trained specialists
were wielding shaving-cream
cans. Their comrades-in-arms
would catch and r e s t r a i n an individual while the specialists
sprayed them with the c r e a m .
All the while, the crowd w a s
getting m o r e d i s a r r a y e d . I found
myself constantly avoiding the
deadly (to my c a m e r a ) splatter
of balloons and buckets. (The
shaving c r e a m was rarely a
threat to b y s t a n d e r s such as
myself.) As the light faded, the
disturbance spread to fill the
clearing. H y d r a t e d f r e s h m e n
r e t u r n e d , f u l l y a r m e d , to
retaliate against those who had
soaked them. What had started
as a simple hostage situation had
degenerated to p a n d e m o n i u m .
Recovering from my earlier
wound, it was all that I could do
to stay out of the way of watercarrying warriors. Then things
got nasty.
Both sides-though it was no
longer a simple two-sided b a t t l e had begun to mix mud with their
buckets of water. T h a t ' s right:
mud-water, an easily m a d e , but
highly dangerous weapon. 1 held
out as long as I could against
these clear and present dangers.
1 was running out of film and the
light was fading fast. Furthermore, 1 was in a war zone, where
not all people place much value
on the life of a $350 c a m e r a outfit.
1 was forced to r e t r e a t to my
room, alive but not unscathed.
My clothes were well-soaked
and specked with mud, and my
hair was simply a mess. A
change of clothes and good combing helped put m e on the road to
recovery. I'm not sure I'll ever
fully recover from this experience, but heck, t h a t ' s the job
of a w a r correspondent. I must
end this report now to go on ot my
next assignment: c h a p t e r 2, problems 2-78, even.
This is an account of the recent
fighting on 12th Street from the
perspective of a photographer

hostilities.

Soccer '84. Dutchmen Aim High
by Scott Ellingson
The Hope College soccer team is
coming off their best season ever.
Needless to say, they are expecting
big things in *84.
•
Last year the Dutchmen took the
MIAA title with an impressive 10-1-1
record (13-4-2 overall) and were
rewarded with a post-season bid to
the NCAA Division III National Soccer Tournament. As number one
seed in the Mideast region, Hope advanced, to the-final twelve before
bowing out to Ohio Weslayan for the
second year in a row. .
Coach Gregg Afman, who gained
post-season accolades as Mideast
region Coach of the Year, believes
that the competitiveness of the
league is plenty to worry about. He
prefers to let 'nationals take care of
themselves,' adding that 'it will be
tougher this year to make it.'
Last year's team graduated four
All-League players including AllMideast goalkeeper A1 Crothers.
Another All-Mideast player and tricaptain. Junior sweeper Kevin
Denham, will anchor a solid defense
along with tri-captains Mike Brown
and Judd Efinger. Benham is Hope's
most easily recognizable player as he
sports his black goatee, which is
feared around the league.
Up front, Hope whould be more explosive with the switch of sophomore
Paul Roe to forward from midfield.
He will team with last year's other
freshman standout Magnus Ojert and
senior Dayna Beal, the team's
leading scorer.
At midfield, junior Dan Fead heads
a talented but inexperienced group
which could include freshmen Ron
Girardi and Jason Tilroe. Overall,
Afman feels that despite some inexperience in depth, this is the most
skilled and deepest team he has seen.
Skill and depth will be important as
Afman maintains that the MIAA will
be 'the toughest it has ever been.' He
points not only to perennial rival
Calvin, recent winner of the Wooster
tournament, and always tough
Kalamazoo, but to Albion who
returns all eleven starters, and an
improved Adrian.
The non-league schedule looks
even tougher with MacMurray, Illinois, Michigan State, Division III
powerhouse Wheaton (September
12), and Goshen in this Saturday's
home opener.
The Dutchmen are looking forward
to a great and exciting season! Come
out and support them this Saturday
and next Tuesday night as they begin
their drive for a second straight
MIAA title against Alda at Holland
Municipal Stadium
Hope Takes Opener
by William De Binder
Martin J. Hill
The Hope College Flying Dutchmen
opened their football season in Illinois
against Olivet Nazarene on Saturday.
It was a day for firsts as the Olivet team
wore their new uniforms for the first time
(wheih means Hope got them dirty for the
first time), and a new Hope football
record was set by junior Mike Sturm who
scored five touchdowns, breaking The
previous record of four. For this achievement, Sturm was neame the MlAA's offensive player of the week.
Hope's offense got off to a slow start in
the first quarter, but by the second, things
had warmed up enough to score two
touchdowns. The first came off a Greg
Heeres pass to Bill Vanderbilt, which set
up the first of Sturm's five touchdowns.
The second came later in the second
quarter when Sturm again rose to the occasion with a 12 yard run into the end
zone.
At the two minute mark Hope apparently thought the half had ended, as they appeared to be asleep on the field. Olivet
took .advantage of numerous mental
miscues to score their only touchdowns of
the game.
With renewed determination, the Dut-
Run-Bike-Swim
' byLesRehak
Whether doing it for the trophy, or
just for the heck of it, the seventh annual Run-Bike-Swim is back again
for all the interested folks out there.
ODL, Inc. of Zeeland, Michigan, is
sponsoring this almost traditional
event (give it a few more years
before it goes on the tradition list) in
cooperation with the Hope College
physical education department. It
will be held on Saturday, October 20,
conveniently - or not so conveniently
- coinciding with Hope's homecoming celebration.
According to Glenn Van Wieren,
this year's coordinator, several different events. Including a triathalon,
will take place with age group divisions for,both,
antf women In all

chmen took the field in the third quarter
and took advantage of several Olivet turnovers, including four interceptions-two
by senior Scott Jecmen (of The Ghetto),
one fumble caused by Dirk VerMeulen
and recovered by Dave Morren. Sturm
continued his record-setting pace, and
scored three touchdowns in that stanza.
In the fourth quarter, sophomore
Quarterback Chris Mendels of Ottawa
Hills combined with classmate and
Hamilton grad Barry Immink on a fifty
yard scoring strike to cap the game.
All 48 team members who travelled to
Olivet were able to play, much to the
pleasure of Coach Ray Smith.
Hope's next game will be this Saturday,
September 15, when they open at home
against DePauw.
Coach Smith is looking forward to the
game, 'For us it's always a big game
against a worthy opponent. . Last year
they humbled us on their field, so this
year it should be a good game. The
rivalry between these two teams (Hope
and DePauw) has grown really interesting and 'e kids look forward to it
every year.'
Go out Saturday afternoon to Holland
Municipal Stadium at 1:30 and root the
Dutch to another victory.
Scheduled
events.
If competition's your style, a 5,000
or 10,000 metre run are being offered
with a 16,000 metre bike race. Swimming events include a 400 metre race
for the 12 and under age bracket atid
an 800 metre race for the 13 and older
crowd.
For those only interested in the exercise, there are the events listed
above as well as a one mile run-walk.
The swimming events will take place
in the Kresge Natatorlum in the Dow
Center. The runners will start at the
Dow and proceed on a course that
follows the streets of Holland.
For those brave of heart, with a
well trained physique, and a weird
penchant for rising at almost obscene
hours on Saturday morning, the
triathlon is being offered. It consists
of the 300m swim, the 16,000m bike,
and the 10,000m run. Starting time
will be at 5:30 a.m. in the Kresge pool
with the run and bike following.
Pre-registration for the events is
encouraged although it may be done
on October 20 at 7:30 a.m. For the
triathletes, pre-registration may be a
wise move - only 120 people will be
allowed to participate.
Events will start at varying times
between 8:30 and 10:00 a.m. except
for the triathlon which will be well
under way. At 11:30 an awards
ceremony will be held at the Dow
Center. Registration fee for the competitive events is $5 and $7 for the
triathlon. Recreational activities are
open to all free of charge. Forms are
available at the physical education
department office In the Dow. /
Quality Key in
CC Performance
by Steve Underwood
Coach Bill Vanderbilt has said that
the real strength of his Hope men's
cross country tem lies in its depth.
But the question may be just howstrong is this "strength"?
In this past Tuesday's Hope Invitational, it was evident that depth was
responsible for enabling the Dutch to
do as well as they did. By placing six
of their seven varsity runners in
spots 10-19 -- in the space of less than
a minute -- Hope took second in the
nine team, 55 runner field.
But their 71 point total, nearly
twice that of the winning Siena
Heights team (36 points), pales in
comparison to recent years. And it
was the first time in at least the last
five years, if not ever, that the Dutch
failed to place a runner in the top
nine.
But it was difficult to be too
negative on a warm, breezy after-
noon at the Holland Country Club.
After all, it wasn't a bad showing by
the Dutchmen.
Soph Llndsey Dood was the top
Hope finisher with his 10th place time
of 26:54 for five miles. Dood appears
to be ready, in only his second year,
to lead the Dutch. He is the best of a
strong sophomore class, which
presently makes up four of the top six
runners on the squad. They are the
depth of the team. But they must
eventually be able to move up a bit
higher in the opposing ranks if Hope
is to repeat its MIAA championship
of last year.
"We're basically a young team,"
says Vanderbilt. It's also a team withtremendous talent and potential: a
team with depth in a fast group of
sophomores; and sometimes unpredictable but potentially outstanding upperclassmen leadership and
performance.

A Flock of Seagulls
A Flock of Seagulls
The Story of a Young Heart
Jive-Artista JL8-8250
Overall G r a d e c
A Flock of Seagulls is on thc
top of the English music charts.
They are a progressive group
that blends t o d a y ' s top 40 fashion
pop with 80's technopop. A Flock
of Seagulls sounds like a cross
between the Fixx and Ultravox.
Their new album The Story of a
Young Heart is no exception to
the a f o r e m e n t i o n e d f o r m u l a .
E a c h of the a l b u m ' s nine cuts is
structured around a catchy, but
repetitive r h y t h m t r a c k . This is
followed by layered synthesizers
entwined with polyphonic vocals.
Occasionally there is a- little
light, poppish, r h y t h m guitar but
nothing to get excited about.
The a l b u m ' s high point, t 4 Heart
of Steel," is centered around an
eerie, wailing voice crying out
" H e a r t of Steel..." at the beginning of nearly every line. This
s o n g is p u n c t u a t e d by a
heartbeat-like-beat.
This album isn't a masterpiece, but I've h e a r d worse.
Shelve it with the Fixx and
Ty
Duran Duran. You can expect
more music like this, from this
band and others, in the future,
with this sound jus't beginning to
catch on here in the States.
Prince
Prince and the Revolution
"Purple Rain"
Warner Bros.
.Overall G r a d e C 4Prince's latest album is an
adventurous album in today's
cluttered music scene. It is a
mixture of everything from soul
to rhythm and Blues, rock and
roll to funky black d a n c e music.
The two singles, "When Doves
C r y " and " L e t ' s Go C r a z y " , set
the pace for this dance-oriented
album. This record is dance
music from beginning to end, but
does more than hint at some catchy guitar licks. The guitar solos
in the beginning of "When Doves
C r y " and the end of " L e t s Go
Crazy" do much to broaden this
album's appeal. In conclusion,
this record isn't destined to be a
classic, but it's the best dance
music I've heard vet.

Movie Review

Tightrope
by John Hensler
Tightrope
Rated R
A Clint Eastwood film about a
cop b e g i n s . , B e f o r e you can sit
back, e i g h t . people a r e blown
away. A diner is reduced to dust.
A gritty, hardened face stares at
the people he has just killed.
Yes, this is an actual scene,
Many saw it last winter is the
Eastwood film Sudden Impact,
another installment in the highly
popular "Dirty H a r r y " series.
The film featured lots of action,
but o t h e r e l e m e n t s like
characterization and plot a r e
practically nonexistent.
Now comes another Eastwood
film, also about a cop. Here we
go again. As the film begins, you
grip the seat in anticipation of
the gore to come. It doesn't happen.
In Tightrope, Eastwood plays a
homicide detective investigating
a series of sexually oriented
m u r d e r s in New Orleans' redlight district. Eastwood does his
investigative work by interviewing (and then bedding) the
women who knew thc m u r d e r e d
woman. The tension increases
when we find out that women he
has interviewed begin to be
murdered, one a f t e r the other.
All that is known of the m u r d e r e r
is that he uses a police uniform
as his cover while strolling the
French Quarter. We never see
his face except in sillouette; it
looks eerily like Eastwood's. The
women are all raped before they
are m u r d e r e d .
Unlike most of his other perf o r m a n c e s , in T i g h t r o p e ,
Eastwood is m o r e subtle and
reserved. His c h a r a c t e r is the
real heart of this movie. He does
have h e a r t - h e is a divorced
father with two d a u g h t e r s and an
ex-wife, who thinks that money is
more important than anything
else. She implies that she w a n t s
the girls back (she left t h e m
along with Eastwood) which only
adds to his troubles. The play
b e t w e e n E a s t w o o d and his
daughters is very well done,
perhaps because the eldest is
p l a y e d by E a s t w o o d ' s own
daughter, A m a n d a . The girls
mean a lot to him, and the tension produced by the love for his
daughters (and the risk of losing
them) and his own sexual
problems-vvhen he finally m e e t s
a nice woman, he cannot iove her
at first-all these m a k e Tightrope
an aptly named film. You wonder
if he will be able to m a k e it
through the film without cracking. This guy has p r o b l e m s
besides trying to get his m o r a l s
straightened o u t - h e has to find
this m u r d e r e r , which he does
through a nice variety of very
suspenseful s c e n e s - s o m e involving the girls--as well as a very effective d r e a m s e q u e n c e - s t a n d
out. E a s t w o o d ' s s t r u g g l i n g
, c h a r a c t e r is far m o r e realistic
that the comic book-like "Dirtjt
H a r r y , " and it's a r e f r e s h i n g
change. It's also nice that his gun
doesn't look like a hand-held can
non.
1 was sort of surprised to enjoy
this movie this much, and abou
three out of every four people
have talked to don't like this film
It is sexually explicit and so be
forewarned. However, for those
. who choose to see Tightrope
they can watch Clint Eastwood
move beyond action into acting.
Faculty Activities. Dr. Charles
Huttar of the English Department will be conducting a threepart series entitled "What Creationism Is All About."
The series, according to Huttar, will point out <4why the evolution controversy is really a red
herring." Huttar will also relate
his a r g u m e n t s to the First Article of the Creed, which according
to Anglican beliefs, asserts the
