Police, administration promise crackdown
by Scott Kaukonen
& Jim Monnett
The Holland Police, with the
cooperation of the Hope College
administration, has taken a nowarning approach for cracking
down on off-campus parties
which are uncontrolled.
The action is in response to increasing complaints and petitions from neighborhood
residents requesting more stringent enforcement of the law.
Neighbors have cited noise,
tresspassing, vomiting and
urinating on lawns as well as
broken windows resulting from
thrown bottles.
Hope students received a letter
from Dean Richard Frost recently which stated the intentions of
the Holland Police and Hope College and urged students to use
good judgment in attending offcampus parties.
Holland Chief of Police Charles
Lindstrom stated that they felt it
was 4 4 in the best interest of the
students to know the laws." He
later said the police will be conducting "undercover monitoring
of parties to determine violations
of the law such as underage
drinking and illegal sales of intoxicants (selling cups or charging admission is a felony if intoxicating beverages are served)."
The letter a l s o said
"authorities will photograph party scenes for court evidence and
the college's information, to
identify persons participating illegally for follow-up prosecution." U . noted that additional
police officers will be on duty in
the neighborhoods around the
college.
Illegal parking and reckless
and-or drunk driving offenses
will be dealt with immediately.
According to the letter, "those
in attendance or frequenting a
place of illegal activities or illegal sales are also subject to
prosecution.19
Not only are Hope students
who violate the law liable for prosecution from the city attorney,
but they may also expect action
from the college.
Frost said, "Hope will be informed (by the police). I will
meet with the students. Hope has
jurisdiction. From the (student)
handbook, Hope has the right to
impose sanctions up and above
load laws."
Vice President of Student l i f e
and Admissions, James Bekkering explained Hope's position,
"We want to be as consistant as
possible and still take into account individual circumstances."
The new policy is the result of a
series of meetings between Chief
Lindstrom, Bekkering and Frost
in an attempt to act in the best interest of the student body and the
Holland community.
A letter Chief Lindstrom sent
to a l l o f f - c a m p u s s t u d e n t
residents said, "Tlie past policy
of the Holland Police Department has been to provide a warning and attempt to quiet things
down...These policies have not
worked."
Chief Lindstorm said, "If a
party is going on and there are
more people in the building than
it is made to hold or if it (the party) is spreading around the
neighborhood," the police will
take action to break it up. The
police's aim is to prevent the
"ya'U come" practises which are
of the nature which leads to problems versus the smaller, invited
list parties.
According to Bekkering, "Last
year was a time of trying to
assess the problem. The crux ol
the matter is to be sensitive to
the rights of privacy, quiet and
* order for all members erf a given
neighborhood."
Five hundred and ninety-five
'students lived off- campus last
year and Bekkering believes that
no more than twenty were the
causes of the problems.
"It's disappointing," Bekkering said, "that so few students
stain the reputation of the rest of
the student body in the eyes of
the community."
Frost,commenting on Hope's
position said, "Partying and interaction, socially are important,
but doing it legally and responsibly is equally important...They
(Hope students) must be held
responsible for irresponsible actions."
Van Zoeren renovation nears completion
by Carrie Maples
News Editor
In recent months, as the dust
settled on the west side of campus, a new, unique s e t of
buildings emerged.
In 1984 work began on the Van
Wylen Library building. In the
summer of 1968 the facelift on
Van Zoeren Hall and
VanderWerf Hall was started.
Along with the renovation, plans
were made by DesignPlus of
4jrand Rapids to link the. three
buildings for easier access. Much
care was taken in the designs to
preserve the avant-garde style of
the buildings, designed in the
early 1960s by Kakph R. Calder of
Detroit, and yet lend continuity
of line and unity to the style of the
three buiktinjs.
The renovations were also
practical, providing increased
office, classroom and laboratory
space as well as computer
facilities and storage space.
Currently, the first floor of Van
Zoeren houses the offices of the
economics and business administration department and
computer science department
u n t i l t h e y c a n r e t u r n to
VanderWerf in January 1990.
There are also several labs, including a computer-aided
engineering lab, which is, according to Peter Jolivette, chairperson of the physics department,
the first lab space devoted to
engineering.
On Van Zoeren's second floor
are the new offices of the education department and the temporary offices of the math and
physics departments, which will
be moving to VanderWerf in
January. The sociology and
social work departments and the
Academic Support Center will at
that time move to Van Zoeren
from their respective offices in
the basements of Graves Hall
and the Chapel.
The upper level also includes a
large workroom, an experimental classroom with adjoining
observation rooms and
classrooms. Lamont Dirkse,
chairperson of the education
department, said, "We're excited about having some
classrooms in the same building
as our offices. No longer do we
need little shopping carts for carrying our teaching materials."
The education staff moved in
June from the brick house on Van
Raalte Commons, their home
since Van Raalte Hall burned in
1907.
The second floor also has the
access to Van Wylen Library,
which makes things more convenient for everyone. The construction wasn't completely without
problems, though. Sophomore

NSF awards bio, chem departments grant
by Kristin Michel
Staff Writer
The biology and chemistry
departments have been jointly
awarded a $20,000 grant from the
National Science Foundation
(NSF). The purpose of this grant
is to create a new integrated
l a b o r a t o r y p r o g r a m in
biochemistry and molecular
biology.
The co-principal investigators
for this grant, Dr. Rodney Boyer,
professor of chemistry, and Dr.
Anthony Nieuwkoop, assistant
professor of biology are currently seeking approval to begin a
course in the spring semester
which would concentrate on this
integrated laboratory program.
Such a course would enable
students to be trained in the
latest techniques of biochemistry
and molecular biology by learning such skills as protein
purification, enzyme kinetics,
DNA analysis and mutagenesis.
Because of the high level of advancement and technicality involved with these procedures,
this course would be open
primarily to junior or senior
chemistry or biology majors who
plan to go on to graduate school
for the study of molecular
biology or biochemistry.
The $20,000 NSF grant is being
equally matched by Hope College, so the total amount of
money set up for this program is
$40,000. This money will be used
to purchase such equipment as a
high-speed refrigerated centrifuge, gell electrophoresis
equipment, a bacteriological incubator and a protein detection
system.
Hope has in the past had a
strong biochemistry program.
This grant enables the science
departments to build upon the
biochemistry program with
molecular biology and show how
the two relate.
in
"Biology and chemistry are
just becoming so close together
and so integrated that a course
like this is an obvious kind of connection to make," said Dr.
Boyer.
This grant contributes to a
great deal of advancement in the
areas of biochemistry and
molecular biology and puts the
programs at Hope more on the
level of a large state school.

Science departments receive over $600,000
by Pamela Lundberg
Staff Writer
Thanks to grants from the
government and many private
institutions, Hope College's
science departments have
received over 1600,000 for equipment and research projects.
During last year Dr.Rodney
F . B o y e r of the Chemistry
D e p a r t m e n t , D r . A n t h o n y J.
Nieuwkoop of the Biology Department and other faculty members
applied for and received approximately fifteen grants. These
grants will be used to fund many
research programs.
One research project involves
the purchasing of a $285,000 piece
of equipment called a nuclear
magnetic resonance soec-
trophonometer (NMR). Boyer
said students and faculty would
be trained to use this piece of
equipment so that they can identify the structures of chemical
compounds.
The rest of the grant monies
would be used to purchase
chemicals, other instruments,
fund s t u d e n t s t i p e n d s and
generally cover the costs of
many small individual projects
of the faculty.
Faculty members then send
those agencies grant proposals.
This is not a guarantee of acceptance, however, agreed Boyer
and Nieuwkoop.
Only about
twenty-flve percent *f all grants
applied for are received by Hope
College. If there is a special need
for a particular piece of equipment or money for research, the
faculty sends grant proposals to
the government and many other
private institutions.
Nieuwkoop stated that
although deparment chairpersons organized the application
process for these grants, much of
the faculty participates. Usually
agencies offering money for
scientific purposes will send information to Hope College.
Boyer said that one problem is
that grants do not last forever. A
grant for an instrument is good
only for that particular piece of
equipment, lasts only as long as
the equipment lasts. Most other
grants are reapplied for every
two or three years.

The new dean for Student
Development Services and Admissions, Richard Frost joined
Hope College's administration in
late July.
Frost came to Hope from the
University of California - Santa
Barbara where he had served as
Associate Director of Housing.
Af Hope Frost is responsible for
four general areas including
residential life, student activities, health services and
multicultural life.
Overall, Frost describes his
responsibilities as "any general
concern that the institution feels
will impact the students."
'I'm here to serve students as
a group of people," Frost said.
Since arriving Frost said he
has been trying to familiarize
himself with Hope's system. He
has spent most of the time learning and meeting students.
"This initial period of time,
I'm doing a lot of learning"
Frost said.
During last week's orientation,
he said he spent a lot of time talking to the freshpersons and their
parents. He also has been
meeting with the student leaders
like Student Congress President
'onathon Hoffman.
Frost said one of his hopes is
at students would come speak
him about a policy or decision
that he might make.
"I'm always open to sitting
down and talking about it," Frost
said. "Some (decisions) may
change and some won't."
About his goals at Hope, Fros
said it was too early to speculate.
He thought he needed to get better acquainted with Hope before
he should develop long range
goals.
Commenting on the selection
process. Frost said there were
three questions that addressed
what a Christian liberal arts in
stitution should be and how tha
would affect his methods if he
worked at one.
"Being a strong Christian, my
life is guided by my Christian
conviction and beliefs," Frost
said.
He said he looked forward to
"being able to bring together
(his) personal and professiona
convicUons, beliefs and com
mitments" at a Christian liberal
arts college like Hope.
Overall Frost said, "My sense
is Hope's a good place to be."
Frost has a Bachelors of Arts
in Political Science and Business
from Luther CoUege, and a
Masters in Student Personnel
from Michigan State University
He is presently finishing his doc
torate from MSU in Higher
Education with a concentration
in Individual Psychology and
Management.

Several staff adjustments and changes have occured while students were away
on sammer break.
Anne Bakker-Gras, formerly
in residential life at Hope, has
taken the position of Director of
Student Activities. This position
was vacated by Bruce King, who
took a job in minority affairs at
Lake Forest College.
Taking over the residential life
(housing) postition is Derek
Emerson, a former resident
director at Kollen Hall.
And finallyv some offices have
changed location due to the completion of the Van Zoeren renovation. The Career Planning and
P l a c e m e n t O f f i c e and the
Counseling Center have moved
from the Student Development
Office and are now in the Sligh
Building, formerly occupied by
the business and ecomonics
deiurtments.
Also joining the Student
Development staff are Administrative Assistant Laurie
Brock, formerly of the Admis-
sions Office, and Secretary Barbara Kilbry.
Other staff members have gotten new responsibilities and thus
new titles over the summer.
James Bekkering is now VicePresident for Admissions and
Student Life. Elton Bruins,
previously serving as Dean for
Arts and Humanities, is acting
provost while Jacob Nyenhuis is
on sabbatical. Also, Jon Huisken
is now Registrar and Dean of
Academic Services.

National fraternity drops pledging
(CPS) - The 90 Zeta Beta Tau
fraternity chapters around the
country will junk their pledging
programs this fall, marking the
first official adoption of radical
National Interfraternity Council
(NIC) proposal that all frats find
new ways to bring in new
members.
ZBT's S u p r e m e n Council
ordered its member chapters in
August not to hold their traditional ( 'pledge weeks" this school
year, and to replace them with
less physical programs stressing
brotherhood and service.
"We've been trying for at least
25 years to stop hazing, and all of
our efforts have failed. The only
way to stop it is to stop hazing,"
said Ronald Taylor, ZBT's national vice president.
Taylor said no single hazing incident prompted the move,
although ZBT chapters have
been involved in controversial
parties at the universities of Pennsylvania and Wisconsin involving strippers in recent years.
Both incidents drew disciplinary
action from officials.
"We've had, as have other
organizations, a continuation of
hazing incidents. None lifethreatening or severe, but we
worry about it," said fraternity
Executive Director James E.
Greer, Jr.
A tragic, seemingly unstoppable series of deaths, injuries,
fights and racial incidents involving pledges to various fraternities at Rutgers University and
at the universitis of Lowell, Tennessee, Texas and California at
Santa Barbara, among many
others, led a growing number of
states and campuses to restrict
or outlaw hazing.
Dozens of states, including
Texas, Missouri and Pennsylvania, have made hazing a
crime in recent years.
Colby, Amherst, Gettysburg,
Middlebury and Castleton State
colleges all have banned fraternities and sororities.
In part to keep more schools
from abolishing fraternities, the
NIC convention in Burlingame,
Calif., last December suggested
all greek groups find "alternatives to the pledging process."
ZBT was the first to adopt one.
Although initial r e a c t i o n
among fraternity members was
negative, many of them say
thei're willing to try.
"My first reaction was a sense
of betrayal from the lu Monal
(ZBT council). It didn't seem
fair," said Danny Pardo, a ZBT
from San Diego State University.
"Now after reading the program,
I'm all for it."
Added Danny Seigal, president
of Syracuse University's ZBT
chapter, "Eventually al national
fraternities will go this way."
"In a few years no one will
know what pledging is because it
will have ended. That's the only
wy fraternities will survive in to
the 21st Century," he said.
Under the program, pledgez
will become brothers 72 hours
after receiving a bid from the
fraternity. Then they enter an
ongoing educational program. In
addition, there will be a semiannual brotherhood review to
make sure members are living
up to requirements.
"You can't just pay your dues
and be a brother," Seigal said.
Brothers generally don't think
dropping pledge wUl keep prospective members away. "A lot
of high-quality young men will be
interested (in joining) that
previously were not because of
all of the malarkey of pledge
week" Taylor said.
Fun-seekers gathered in Maas Auditorium
for the Emersonian and SIB-sponsored
dance last Friday night. This dance was the
first in a series of greek dances for this
semester.

Hope parties need focus
Once again we are welcomed back to Hope College with newt of new
polidet. This year the Holland Police in conjunction with the Hope Administration and Public Safety will be cracking down on illegal activity at
off-campus parties. One's first respons might be anger about restrictions
one's freedom. A second response, though, might be to look past the policies
at the possible causes.
James Bekkering, the Vice President for Admissions and Student Life,
said the policies are in response to complaints from those permanent
residents of Holland who live near these off-campus parties. It seems that
some intoxicated Hope students use their neighbors' lawns and bushes for
urinating, vomiting and the discarding of empty beer bottles. There have
even been complaints of beer bottles being thrown at windows.
This is hardly responsible behavior. Why abuse someone's property? Most
people would think twice about vomiting in the front bushes ofonc'sown
home. But some Hope students are doing it to their neighbors here. And
speaking as other Hope students, the anchor is appalled.
There is nothing funny about throwing beer bottles at windows or vomiting
on someone's property. Why this behavior? Is it becauM the line at the
bathroom is too long? No, maybe the problem lies in the parties themselves.
Hope parties are known for their beer consumption. They have no other
purpose. At other schools there is dancing or relaxing bull sessions occuring.
Getting drunk is not the focus. At many of Hope's off-campus parties there is
nothing else to do but get drunk. A few weeks of this and even getting drunk
loses its appeal. It's then that people start looking for other forms of amusement. If, of course, throwing up on a lawn can be considered amusement.
It is important to note that this pathetic behavior is the exception and not
the rule. Bekkering estimates that their were about twenty incidents last
year. It would be a safe guess that there were far more parties than that. So
the majority of the parties and the majority of the students are not at fault.
Granted that underaged drinking is illegal, but the enforcement of it offcampus is next to impossible.
Next to impossible that is, if the neighbors do not have to call the police for
abuse of their property or loud noise.
One look at Parrot's (the old Arthur's) on College Night shows a packed
dance floor. Of course, there is a lot of drinking, but it is not the only activity.
It's hard to drink as much beer while ^TM^ng as Just standing around chugging. TTie crowd at Parrot's has a good time. Afterward you don't see the
crowd spilling outside to throw beer bottles through windows of the old post
office or to urinate on the steps of Centennial Park Apartments.
Before one gets angry at the new crack down on the off-campus policies,
maybe one should crack down on the offensive behavior. Each student is in a
better position to stop the need for neighborhood complaints than all the
undercover police put together. It may be time for Hope students to take the
focus off getting drunk and add some other activity like dancing. Hope
students should be able to aspire to more for their weekend entertainment
than getting drunk and vandalism.

SUP OF THE MIND
Being bugged
JIM MONNETT
On my return to Hope, I was
looking forward to spending my
third year with my friends...the
squirrels. During the summer I
dreamed of lounging under in the
Pinegrove with my old furry
friends. Hope's squirrels seem to
personify the love and Joy that is
Hope CoUege.
Unfortunately,
my plans were sumbarined by
the scourge of creation.
BUck flies.
They are everywhere. I love
squirrels, but what's to love
about flier Squirrels are furry,
fun and friendly. Flies are ugly,
irksome and irritating. There is
nothing redeeming about flies.
I'm sure they serve some important function, like food for frogs,
but at Hope all they do is live up
to their namesake: bugs. They
bug m e (groan here).
i ....
Not only do they bug
they drive me up the wall to look
than in the eyes. In Boyd Cottage where I live they are in
every room wanting to play.
They get together and plot new
strategies to drive me insane.
They buzz around, landing on
every surface including me.
What gets under my skin the
most is that they don't. Flies
don't even have the common
decency to bite. This puts them
below mosquitoes. A mosquito
takes the time out of it's busy
schedule to bite when they land
on me. A fly is too stupid to know
what good food I am. Since mosquitoes bite, they give me a
warped justification for
squashing them out of the air.
Kill or be killed, it's the
American Way. They know that
I'll kill them so they swarm down
and suck my blood vainly hoping
to kill me first. It's a war and I
can respect my enemy.
I can't respect flies. They don't
fight back.
They Just buzz
around looking for garhago to
chomp on. Mosquitoes like fresh
meat Just like me. But a fly will
eat anything even if it smells like
five week old bacon and eggs.
I can J u t hear Joe Fly hovering over our garbage saying,
"Oooo, smell that stench. Looks
like dinner is served. Smells like
festering sauerkraut. Hold me
back."
But flies don't stay by the garbage. They get there sadistic
thrills out of tormenting humans
"Hey, there's a human," Joe
Fly says to Marge Fly, "Let's go
wvwiu laa^iiaauf ,«•
Q .»
..VMwfce.we x W d . U n i o n hi*
mirror while he's brushing his
teeth. ,, Marge Fly adds.
And then they come
"BUZZZZZ."
Since they don't bite I feel
slighly guilty for killing them. All
they are doing is sharing my
space. Is that a capital offense?
Maybe in Miami, but not here
yet. So I try to live peacably with
them.
I ignore them.
"Hey," Marge Fly says, "He's
ignoring us. Let's land on his ear
and buzz to him so that he knows
we're here."
As they do my temperature
rises. Eventually I lose it and the
killing urge consumes me. I
lunge for the thirty-nine cent
Meijer nuclear fly swatter - the
one with the extra long handle for
added speed. The battle begins. I
swat. Hiey buzz in laughter,
taunting me.
1 swat again shattering the
overhead light. Sometimes they
hide...on the back of my leg. I
swat again showing no mercy
and bring a welt to my skin, but I
am consumed. I laugh manically
as I fight for the remnants of my
sanity.
In the end it's Me 3, Flies 0 & 1
Light.
But Marge and Joe had friends
who spontaneously generate to
come play with my mind. I begin
to wonder if I am no better that
they are a s I climb over furniture
and friends stalking my hated
enemy. Eventually, I stop and
ask myself what my squirrel
friends would do if they were me.
-A bet a good nut solves a lot of
JaUm*.

Set partly in p i c t u r e s q u e t u r n - o f - t h e - c e n t u r y Florence and partly in the
g o r g e o u s English c o u n t r y s i d e , A Room with a View is a witty and s t r i k i n g l y
faithful adaption of the novel by E.M. Forster ("A Passage to India").
Exquisitely p h o t o g r a p h e d , intelligent, romantic, and satirical, a c c o m p a n i e d
by some of Puccini s most beautiful music, and acted to perfection, A Room
with a View can only be d e s c r i b e d as a very special treat.
The film is the story of Lucy H o n e y c h u r c h , a young Englishwoman who t r a v e l s
to Italy in 1907, falls in love, and is e v e n t u a l l y liberated from the m o r e s
and c o n v e n t i o n s of V i c t o r i a n England. The c h a r a c t e r s include Miss Honeychurch, who spends
most of the movie lying to herself about
her love for G e o r g e
Emerson; her s p i n s t e r
cousin and c h a p e r o n e ,
the martyred C h a r l o t t e
Bartlett; and her insufferably snobbish
suiter Ceci1 Vyse.
A Room with a View is

The Indigo Girls album blends past, present, future
by Geoffrey L. Penrose
Staff Writer
Through the depths of the lethargic
bowels of today's music, a new duo has
risen to bring us some intellectually,
musically and seemingly honest tunes.
One song in particular, "Kid F e a r s / ' is
reminiscent of some of Hie Smith's
work in that it is a powerful ballad with
just enough dissonance, both lyrically
and musically, to give it a sinister and
troubling edge.
Sharp and slightly bitter, the Indigo
Girls have quietly come forward with a
new album on the Epic label which is
distinctly traditional.
Therefore, The Indigo Girls, though a
synthesis of the best of two generations of
acoustic guitar, offer rich and pleasing
sound with just enough snap and verve to
make it exciting.
It is traditional because with acoustic
guitars and sweetly soaring voices, Emily Saliers and Amy Ray quickly remind
one of Joni Mitchell, and their harm o n i e s , e s p e c i a l l y in t h e i r
countermelodies, remind one of Simon
and Garfunkel or Crosby, Stills and
Nash.
Lyrically, The Indigo Girls are also
fresh. Through their words, it becomes
clear that these women have seen some
uncertain times of personal wonderment
and severe doubts concerning things in
general. Their current hit, "Closer To
Fine," is an expression of those doubts
and a brief history of their search for
answers.
Although they are smart students of
the older school, the similarities end with
the techniques and sounds, for these
women pick guitar better than Joni Mitchell ever did, and their harmonies are
never overdone, as Crodby, Stills and
Nash's sometimes were and are. Further, although they know the past, they
also have ties with the present and
future. They have gleaned the best progressive has to offer also. Their instrumentation and attitude are traditional, but their chord progressions and
playing styles definitely have the ring of
today.
'Our Town
pleases
called today; Take part in the pain of this
passion play."
It also should be mentioned that The
Indigo Girls have found some of their
needed answers in religion. In their song
"Secure Yourself' they tell us "Secure
yourself to heaven; Hold on tight, the
night has come; Fasten up your earthly
burdens; you have just begun." In the
voices of such angels, those lines almost
seem plausible.
The one flaw in this album is quite easily identifiable. It is the song "Tried to be
True." On this song, which could have
been good, that band from Georgia which
insists upon running its meddling hands
all over any new band from Georgia,
R.E.M., plays mundane back up while
The Indigo Girls try to rise above it. Hiey
almost succeed, but not enough to avoid
having the song seem sadly out of place.
"Tried to be True" aside, this is a solidly satisfying album. It wants to be heard;
it should be heard. On a four star scale, it
gets a Neptune.
They state their belief that "There's
more than one answer to these questions
pointing me; In a crooked line." Also,
they express a certain distaste for the
college experience in the line: "I spent
four years prostrate to the higher mind,
got my paper; And I was free."
Their last song, "History of Us," appears to be a resolution of some of their
questions. It is a poem and song in a
carpe diem vein which asserts that the
answers to the questions may appear if
we "Love while these moments are still

Staff Writer
Friday night's performance of
"Our Town" by the Hope Summer Repertory Theatre proved
once again that good theater is
not exclusive to big cities and
bigger budgets.
The stage and props were simple, enabling the audience to concentrate on the performers and
, the characters they portrayed.
The costumes show sincere at' tention to detail and helped
, establish the setting, turn of the
century Grover's Corners, New
' Hampshire, population 1500+.
. The play itself, written by
Thorton Wilder, centers on two
^families, the Gibbs and, the
Webbs, and follows them through
two generations, testifying to
their loves, lives and deaths.
It is performed in three acts.
The first shows an average day
when the children were still
children. The second covers
George Gibb's and Emily Webb's
wedding. The third and final act
is the mo&t ah®tract, but makes
the play me classic it is.
Emily dies in childbirth. In this
act we experience the juxtaposition of life, death and life after
death. And, as in most good
drama, the play ends with questions hopefully causing the audience to reflect on what they've
seen, beard and felt.

the stage manager, frequently
providing the audience with a
chuckle or two. And deserving
special notice was Hope College
Math Professor Frank Sherburne as his portrayl of Professor Willard was very convincing.

Ligia Rodriquez joins languages department
by Janet Owen
anchor staff writer
Ligia Rodriquez joined the
Classical and Foreign Language
Department to teach Spanish
classes. She came to Hope to get
away from the big city atmosphere of New York City
where she had to live far from
campus. Here at Hope she hopes
to be able to get acquainted with
individual students.
Rodriquez was born in Columbia, South America where she
lived until 1975 when she came to
New York to attend college at City University. She is unmarried
and has no children. Most of her
family is in New York or Columbia, but she says she is not lonely
because she has "lots of nice
friends" at Hope. She met some
of her friends at the teaching
workshop Hope holds every year
for new faculty.
When not teaching, Rodriquez
is working on her doctoral dissertation on sixteenth century
Spanish literature and history for
City Univerisity of New York.
She enjoys reacting, dancing and
listening to jazz and classical
music. She also likes to go the
theater and to concerts and is
looking forward to attending
many of the Hope College theater
productions and concerts.
When asked what she likes
most about Hopei Rodriquez
replied, "the students." She said
they are eager to learn, interested and intelligent. She is
RMAuer.. 4
/M06T /
especially impressed that so
many s t u d e n t s a r e taking
Spanish because they are interested in it, and not just
because it is a coUege requirement to take two semesters of a
language.
Rodriquez emphasized that she
is very happy here at Hope,
despite an attack by a map in
class recently, saying, "The
campus is nice and the students
are sweet."
R o d r i q u e z e a r n e d her
Bachelors and Masters degrees
in Spanish from City University
of New York, where she also did
some teaching. She has also
taught at Sara Lawrence College
in Bronxville as well as several
community colleges.

Sports
Football team strives for more
by Bill Meengs
Sports Editor
After a less than spectacular
1968 campaign which saw the
Hope College football team compile a 1-7-1 overall mark, the Flying Dutchmen hope for a return
to the form that has made Head
Coach Ray Smith one of the winningest a c t i v e Division III
coaches.
Hope should be helped in their
efforts by a defense that returns
seven starters from last year's
group. Last season, Hope's
defense gave up only 167 points;
just six more than the 1987 squad
which won a conference championship and a d v a n c e d to
postseason play. Hope's defense
allowed the team to stay close
last year, as five of Hope's seven
losses last year were by an
average of only six points.
Anchoring the Hope defense
for 1989 will be First Team, AllMichigan Intercollegiate
Athletic Association (MIAA)
senior safety Tim L a m i e o f
Grawn. Lamie is a three-year
letter-winner and a two-year
starter. He led the team in
tackles last year with 100.
Other returning starters in the
defensive secondary are juniors
Matt Haverdink of Hudsonville,
Jim Meyers of Rochester, and
Karl Koelling of Lansing. Both
starting linebackers - juniors
Jayson Stuckey of Carrollton and
Ted Remble of St. Joseph - also
return.
Hope returns only two starters
of the defensive line, however. As
only First Team, All-MIAA
senior c o - c a p t a i n Kurt
Friedriechsen of Hamilton and
early season starter Jeff Brown
of Muskegon are back for the '89
season.
If Hope is to improve upon last
year's record, they will have to
improve their offense, which
returns just five starters.
The Dutchmen backfield will
return two-year starting fullback
Mike Tomorsky of Muskegon and
wingback Jeff Schorfharr, a
junior from Coldwater.
The quarterback race appears
to be between Eric Elliott, a
junior from Hudsonville, and Jeff
Brown, a sophomore from
ON THIN ICE
Greenville.
Hope brings back two starters
from the offensive line: junior
Mike Balkema of Kalamazoo and
senior George Stamas of Grand
Rapids.
Ken Kimes of Scottville is the
only returnee for the receiving
corps, but the kicking game retains its major players for 1989.

balls.
One can't blame her
either. She's given the; best years
«»f her life to tennis, and has
always been an asset to her
sport.

A graceful exit
BILL MEENGS
why should we stop her? We've
enjoyed her on the tennis courts
since she burst on the scene in
1971 as a sixteen year old at the
U.S. Open. It's time we let her go
on with the rest of her life.
Sure she could probably be
another Jimmy Connors, who incredibly is still one of the best in
tennis at age thirty-seven. She
could adjust her game and play
for fun, but could we really sit
b a c k a n d w a t c h an uncompetitive Evert? I don't think
so.
While I don't think Evert can
win this years Open (Steffi Graf
has a lock on this one), I can still
hope. But when one looks at
Evert's career, a win at this
year's Open would simply be icing on the cake. To give you some
idea of how phenominally successful Evert has been she must
be compared to Connors. Connors is far and away the all time
leader in tournament victories on
the men's tour and Chris has won
fifty more tournaments than he
has. So does one more really
matter? Sure it would be nice,
but Chris deserves our respect
and adoration regardless.
Chris' competitive spirit and
good sportsmanship will be sorely missed, but we'll always have
our memories of her, and her
great rivalry with Martina
NavratUova. Steffi Graf may
rule now, but women's tennis alltime queen is Chris Evert. An
athlete of this stature comes
around once in many years. And
we should be thankful we were
able to enjoy Chris' outstanding

IN THE BLEACHERS
goes varsity
by Steve Moore
by Bill Meengs
sports editor
Hope College's women's soccer
team will compete this season
with varsity status for the first
time.
After six years as a club sport,
the team was granted varsity
status last spring as women's
s o c c e r b e c a m e an o f f i c i a l
Michigan Intercollegiate
Athletic Association sport.
After posting a 3-8 mark last
fall, the Flying Dutch will make
their assault on the MIAA with
eleven returning players.
First year coach Stain Slette
said, "I can't say we're starting
completely from scratch because
many of the girls have been in
the club for several years."
^ Hope will return junior Lynn
Schopp of Carmel, Indiana, who
scored all four of her goals in a
4-0 win over Adrian College last
year. The list of freshpersons includes Schopp's former teammate Julie Akin of Indianapolis
who was a standout high school
player.
Slette said his squad will play a
team oriented style, "I hope to
make it as much of a team sport
as possible, which is a very European way of playing soccer.
That's as opposed to South
America, where often those
countries will have one or two
star players who, whenever they
get the ball, go all the way and
take a shot."
Hope opens the season Sept. 9
against Adrian at 2 p.m. at Buys
Athletic Fields.

Slette prepares
for season
The new women's soccer coach,
I Stein Slette, had only good hopes for
this first season as a league sport in
the Michigan Intercollegiate
{Athletics Association.
Although Slette feels "it is very
| hard to predict" just how will it will
go because of the lack of inofrmation
on other new teams. He does Jiink
that Calvin and Kalamazoo will be
good competition.
For Slette, this the year to start
building up the women's soccer
team, developing a style of their own,
and improving on last year's finish
"With a couple of good players
from last year," Slette said, "Plus
the new freshman, I'm hoping we'
going to have at elast a reasonab
season."
Slette recently graduated
Hope College in 1987. Even before
attended Hope College he was an ex
change student, coming from
home in Oslo, Norway, to Holla
High School.
Last year Slette worked part
in the Physical Education Depart
ment teaching recreation and acti
ty classes and heading the Hope RunBike-Swim even. He is now also
working as a soccer coach and Resi
dent Director with his wife Jane for
Scott Hall. Next year he plans ic
move on to graduate school at be
University of Utah.
