Students May Be Next In AIDS Epidemic
(CPS) - College students may

population to be at risk of
contracting AIDS, the head of a
major national campus health
group is warning on a national
speaking tour.
The reason, says Richard
Keeling, health director at the
University of Virginia and
c h a i r m a n of the American
College H e a l t h Association
(ACHA) AIDS task force, is that
students are more likely to be
sexually promiscuous and — in
youthful feelings of immortality
— less likely to practice safe sex.
In J u n e , m o r e o v e r , U.S.
Surgeon General C. Everett
Koop warned Congress of a
potential "explosion" in the
number of teens who get AIDS
(acquired immune deficiency
syndrome), a fatal virus that
destroys the body's immune
system and renders the victim
v u l n e r a b l e to o t h e r w i s e innocuous germs.
The disease is spread by
contaminated blood transfusion,
using dirty needles to inject
drugs and some kinds of sexual
contact.
And when students get to
c a m p u s , e x p l a i n e d ACHA
spokeswoman Ann Higley, " I t ' s
a period of exploration" when
many students experiment with
sex and drugs for the first time.
" I t ' s their first taste of
freedom, and often there's an
u n w i l l i n g n e s s to t a k e
responsibility."
Some colleges have tried to
warn students by distributing
flyers. Installing condom
vending machines to promote
"safe sex" and — like the
University of Massachusetts and
Mount Holyoke, Smith, Amherst
and Hampshire colleges did
September 29 — stage elaborate
programs to educate campus
residents about the disease.
Schools seem to be announcing
new AIDS efforts weekly. Just
last week, for example, Michigan
State said it would start testing
students anonymously for AIDS,
while the University of Illinois
said it might require any student
it suspected of being a health
threat to take an AIDS test.
In Pennsylvania, meanwhile,
Millersville University set up an
AIDS Review Board to plan how
to deal with the disease on
campus in the future.
Still, the ACHA's Keeling
thinks colleges are doing a bad
job teaching students about
AIDS.
More than three-quarters of
the nation's campuses have done
"little or nothing" to teach
students, he figured.
"We're starting to talk in
terms of obligations, not option.
AIDS education is the moral and
ethical obligation of colleges,
i r r e s p e c t i v e of w h a t e v e r
discomfort with the topic
t r u s t e e s or a l u m n i or t h e
community may feel," Keeling
said.
The Department of Education
also has i gnored its
responsibility to develop AIDS
education programs, Keeling
charged. "In an ideal world the
Department of education would
have' taken substantial
responsibility for developing
AIDS education plicy, but that
support has been absent."
Higley r e p o r t e d only 75
students have been diagnosed as
having AIDS-related illnesses,
but added the disease has a long
latency period, meaning others
may be infected and not know it.

AIDS Questions
What's new on campus? You
can write the Health Clinic with
your questions or concerns
regarding AIDS. AIDS is a very
pressing issue today and needs to
be addressed. More than 28,492
cases have been diagnosed in the
United States as of December of
1986.
Education is the key to slowing
down the spread of this deadly
disease. Along with the support

sending out information, and
compiling resources in our
community to help inform you,
t h e s t u d e n t , of y o u r
responsibility and your
suceptability to this fatal but
preventable disease.
What really is AIDS? AIDS
stands for Acquired Immune
Deficiency S y n d r o m e which
means the immune system does
not fight off infection as it
normally would. A person with
AIDS is more vulnerable to
infection and specifically

causes AIDS. The HTLV III
attacks the lymphocytes which
are a type of white blood cells.
Lymphocytes include several
sub groups which work together
to operate the immune system
and prevent infection in the body.
One type is the Helper T Cells,

How is AIDS spread? AIDS is
not easily transmissible believe
it or not. It is spread through
sexual contact, needle sharing,
or less c o m m o n l y t h r o u g h
transfusions of infected blood or
blood components. Direct blood
to blood or semen to blood
contact appears to be necessary
to transmit this virus. There is no
evidence that AIDS can be
spread through air, water, food,
or casual body contact. If this
was the case the number of
people affected would be even
greater.

Glenn-Lund Dance Puts On Exciting Show
By Julie Thornes
anchor Staff Writer
Hope College had the privilege
of presenting the Glenn-Lund
Dance Company Thursday and
Friday Nov. 5 and 6 in Dewitt
Center Theatre. These highly
acclaimed dancers have
performed throughout the United
States and Europe including
appearances at major festivals
in the Netherlands, London,
Paris, the World Trade Center
and many more.
Having achieved such fame,
they are now a member company
on the touring roster of the New
England Foundation for the Arts
and the New Hampshire State
Council on the Arts. They are a
resident company of the White
Mountain Summer Dance
Festival. The company was
founded by Laura Glenn and
Gary Lund in 1983 and has been
performing successfully ever
since.
The program began with an
intriguing piece titled ^Engress'*
choreographed by Laura Glenn,
music by Bill Buchen, and
costumes by Julie Schwolow. All
seven dansers in the company
participated. The costumes were
unitards in soft pastel colors;
pinks, purples, and one brown.
Sparkling arrows were on each
dancer's knee pointing down to
his or her ankle.
The music began, and
suddenly, one dancer ran on to.
the dimly lit stage only to
disappear behind the curtain as
another leaped into view. One at
a time, they appeared and
disappeared running, leaping,
and rolling on to the stage as the
music pulsed on, never changing.
Then they all emerged as one
group in the center of the stage.
Although they seemed to be
working together as a unit, each
dancer was dancing his or her
own dance-all executed the same
movement but in an individual
pattern.
For example, each leaped
from a crouched position on the
floor to one of complete extension
in the air at different times. This
kept the audience eyes jumping
from one dancer to another. The
number created a feeling of tense
anticipation for the next burst of
energy and emotion.
The next piece, <4The Good
Life," was performed by Laura
Glenn and Gary Lund. Each
wore blue work clothes, the type
of clothing one would expect to
see on a mechanic. The dancers
portrayed a newly married
couple in the early stages of their
lives together.
The theme was work, hard,
tedious work which the dancers
illustrated by executing the same
motions again and again with
tired, stressed expressions on
their faces. In contrast, one part
d e m o n s t r a t e d a t i m e of
relaxation and "fun in the sun"
at the beach.
Next, followed a major step in
their lives ^ the birth of' their
child. Then, the woman had to
carry the baby as she worked.
Silence filled the stage as the
piece ended. The couple slowly
stopped the mechanical motions
and looked tiredly at on another.
The w o m a n pulled a
handkerchief from her pocket,
wiped her forhead, then wrung
the sweat from the cloth.
The t h i r d
p i e c e ,
choreographed by Gary Lund,
was titled <4 Wellspring," and, as
the name suggests, water plays a
major role in the number. The
sound of wind and waves at the
ocean began the piece creating
an eerie mood on stage. The
dancers, wearing light orange
and light yellow unitards trudged
slowly into view in a compact,
single line leaning on each other
as though exhausted. They
crossed the stage, reversed
direction, and started to come
back. Then the continuity was
broken. Suddenly the whole line
disintegrated. The dancers
stretched and pulled away from
the unit. The tempo increased
and the dancers began sliding
across the floor.
Sometimes one dancer would
crawl on top of another forcing
him or her to bend to the floor.
They s e e m e d to r e s e m b l e
creatures, little creature in the
sea staying together like a
family. The music started to
fade, s o m e of t h e f a m i l y
members retreated behind the
curtain as though retiring for the
night. All left but two who
remained to play and refresh
themselves with the water. Buy
this time, the music has stopped,
the only sounds were those of
waves and wind.
The lights faded, but the
piece was not finished. To the
audiences surprise, the stage
was reilluminated with a soft
yellow glow. E a c h d a n c e r
entered carrying a glass bowl of
water and a red towel. They
situated themselves in a circle
sitting on the floor and slowly
dipped their hands in the water
a s though a m a z e d by its
consistency.
F i r s t , they began letting
droplets fall from their fingers.
They became more playful as the
movement progressed, splashing
water on their faces and on each
other. Suddenly the stage was
alive with excitement. The
dancers soaked their towels in
the bowls and smacked each
other with them. They slid across
the slippery floor a m i d s t
spraying water. Slowly the light
began to form a circle around the
dancers. The rest of the stage
d a r k e n e d . The c i r c l e grew
smaller and the dancers slowed
their movements. Each
retreated back to his or her own
bowl, each dancer luxuriating
the cleansing, cooling feeling of
the water on their bodies. The
stage went black.
After intermission, the second
half began with a piece called
4,
Voices" in which costumes and
life-like plastic figures played a
major role. Some were larger

resembled abstract pictures of
men in different body positions
placed on the stage.
One was a picture of two men
together, one carrying the other.
Two dancers entered the stage in
exactly the same position as that
figure. Gracefully, the dancer
swept the other to his feet only to
sweep him over his shoulder and
across his back again. They
continued this process
alternating so that at times one
would be carried and the other
would be carried. Effortlessly,
they swung each other upon their
back and then down to the floor
again in an intricate pattern
twisting, turning and lifting as
though together they were one
body moving across the floor.
Finally, they reached the other

side and disappeared behind the
curtain. No sooner had they
made their exit, then three other
dancers entered the stage in
bright unitards. Each unitard
was colored with intensly bright
colors which seemed to outline
different muscles and accentuate
certain bones on each dancer.
The human body and its abilities
seemed to be the underlying
theme as the dancers tested the
limitation and freedoms their
bodies allowed by twisting,
leaping, and rolling across the
stage.
In contrast to 'Voices," in

F a b l e of C o n t e n t s , " t h e
following piece, the dancers wore
plain, blue, baggy shirts and
pants, the type that a prisoner
might wear. The dancers seemed
to portray prisoners. Blocks that
looked like c e m e n t w e r e
positioned on the floor creating a
prison-like setting and the
dancers appeared to be trapped
in their immediate enviroment
like prisoners in a cell. A small
table was positioned downstage
on the left side. The dancers, one
at a time, used the table to play
ludicrous, little games.
For example, one would pour
water from a flask into a beaker,
leave it on the table and walk
away. Another would pour water
into a different beaker, drink
from it and walk away. Next
another would pull a large
contraption resembling
tinkertoys, play with it and
leave.
During these little games, the
other dancers interacted with
each other, sometimes
aggressively as though about to
s t a r t a fight, other t i m e s
playfully. Then, in the middle of
the movement, all the dancers
would freeze and feel their a r m s
or legs as though they felt a pain
in them. Suddenly the music
would play a harsh note and the
d a n c e r s would double over
clutching their stomachs as
•
though the jarring music caused
them pain.
In the end, they retreated to his
or her own block on the floor and
swayed cautiously to the music
alone.
The l a s t w a s relievingly
comical. It was titled "The
Presidential Tango" featuring
recorded excerpts from selected
speeches by Ronald Reagan. The
dancers wore white shirts, grey
slacks with suspenders and red
carnations. The theme of the
piece seemed to emphasize
confusion a s the dancers huddled
together and nervously followed
on another. Never wanting to
stand alone while President
Reagan announced, 44lt didn't
have to be this way." They
seemed confused as to what they
were doing and why they were
doing it.
This, perhaps, demonstrated
some indecision on the part of the
American people on political
issues. Sometimes one dancer
would run to center stage and
raise his hands in the peace sign.
Immediately, the other dancers
would do the same and cluster
about the one who had the
courage to take a stand, hoping
that he had the answer. The
lights went out for a moment and
then flashed on again showing
the dancers standing together
uncertainly waving their hands
in t h e air showing their fingers in
the peace sign with confused
expressions on their faces.
All the pieces were moving,
high energy pieces leaving the
audience breathless after each
climaxed and finished. The
combination of the ability of the
dancers, the use of costumes,
lighting, and set, and of course,

Library Work Moves inside
By Tad Hoogendoorn
Special to the anchor
Over the past couple of months
as you have walked by it, you hve
obviously noticed the progress
made on the exterior of the new
Van Wylen Library. All of the
benches, trees, and sidewalks do
indeed look great, but have you
ever wondered how the inside is
coming along?
Ever since the completion of
the exterior of the building this
summer, crews have been busy
working on the interior of Van
Wylen.
A few weeks ago, all of the
library employees were invited
to take a tour of the new library,
and they saw they described as
"incredible".
The most prominent feature of
Van Wylen is its size. It holds
four floors and a massive
basement, giving much more
room for book stacks and student
study areas. The basement is yet
u n f u r n i s h e d . W h e n it is
completed, it will hold a large
number of book stacks, and also
feature a few small student study
rooms.
The main floor will be a busy
center of activity. The main
entrance features a double set of
doors that will serve as a
windbreak.
A f t e r passing
throught he second set of doors,
library patrons will have to
ascend a few steps to get to the
main level of the first floor. The
first floor will contain the
majority of the offices, a room
containing vending machines,
and of course, lots of book stacks.
The second and third floors are
still quite b a r e , but when
completed will generally be
devoted to book stacks and a few
study rooms.
The fourth and final floor is
almost completely furnished.
The walls and ceilings are
already painted, and carpet
covers the entire floor. The two
main features on the top floor are
the high cathedral ceilings and
the skylight above the top of the
stairs going to the fourth floor.
And of course, the view is
incredible.
Other interesting physical
features of the building include
individual study carrels built into
the walls on most floors. Also, all

of the study rooms have the same
window pattern as the windows
on the outside of the building.
So far, Van Wylen is looking
good both outside and inside. The
library will have new operational
features as well, which will be
highlighted in the anchor in the
next few weeks.
On Monday evening, Laurie
Straud, a Peace Corps
representative, held a movie and
slide presentation entitled, "The
Toughest Job You'll Ever Have."
T h e p u r p o s e of t h e
presentation was to explain to
interested students the current
changes going on in the corps and
to give them the basic facts on
what the Peace Corps does.
The Peace Corps works in
i m p o v e r i s h e d
and
underprivelged nations at the
r e q u e s t of t h o s e n a t i o n s .
Currently the Peace Corps has
v o l u n t e e r s w o r k i n g in 62
different countries.
Up until recently competition
for Peace Corps spots had been
heavy, the Corps actually had to
refuse many qualified
applicants. This was in part due
to lack of funding and support
from the Reagan administration.
This has dramatically changed,
the Corps plan on near-doubling
its curent membership from
5,600 to 10,000.
The most important needs for
the Peace Corps are college
graduates with degrees in or
relating to forestry, fisheries,
and agricultural-extension. The
Corps also has a need for
graduates in teaching, health,
skilled trades, and business.
There are 60 different work
fields in the Peace Corps. 85
percent of them require a college
degree. Interested applicants
m u s t fill out a 13-page
application in which they must
include in detail everything they
have ever been active in, school,
work, classes, school activities,
clubs, community service, etc.
Applicants must also pass a
physical health test and
complete 3 months of training
which takes place in the country
that they will serve in. During
the 3 m o n t h s l a n g u a g e ,
technical, and crops cultural
training is emphasized.
Straud, who spent three years
in Thailand, said she joined the
Peace Corps because she had
a l w a y s b e e n i n v o l v e d in
community service and she had
also been interested in other
countries and their cultures. The
Peace Corps was a logical way to

Retail Prices, Nao, And TV Commercials
Editor's note: The following
article is the ninth in a series
which will chronicle the exploits,
adventures, and thoughts of
David Lambert during his
travels in Japan on the Japan
May Term last spring.
By David Lambert
My second week in Tokyo was
a time in which the unfamiliar
began to look commonplace, and
the city began to blend together.
T h e r e were some new
experiences — I went to a
Bhuddist worship service, and
discovered the difficulties
inherent in using a Japanese
toilet for the number two job.
A Japanese toilet requires
extremely strong thigh muscles
because it is basically like a
Western style toilet without a
pedestal. To use one, you must
squat and relieve yourself
without falling over — quite a
trick. I had occasion to use one
when a person who was in the
4
'handicapped" (Western style)
stall in a public bathroom did not
come out.
When I finished my struggle to
use the J a p a n e s e toilet, I
emerged from the stall to find a
man who worked for Meiji
Gakuin, who had come along on
that day's expedition, outside.
After he heard my complaint
about the toilets he quipped,
4<
When I visited your country, I
had that problem too."
In my second week in Tokyo, I
also discovered that Akihabara,
Tokyo's retail electronics
district, is the ultimate place to
ogle stereo equipment. Prices
are higher there than they a r e in
the U.S. because Japanese firms
would prefer to export their
merchandise. In addition, prices
are higher because there are
generally twice as m a n y
middlemen in J a p a n than there
are in America between the
wholesale and retail levels.
As an example of the price
difference, the Sony Walkman
Pro, which retails for $250-$300
here retails for the equivalent of
$340-$365 there. One item which
was expecially high-priced was
the Shure V15 type five phono
cartridge — imported from
Illinois. Here, it costs about $150.
There, it costs 66,000 yen, or
about $440.
In any case, the electronics
were f a n t a s t i c : A k i h a b a r a
offered floor after floor of mindboggling equipment. The
equipment is mostly high or low
class; very little of it is mid line.
Endless shelves of amplifiers,
turntables, CD players, cassette
decks and digital audio tape
decks were enough to give an
audio enthusiast like myself
heart palpitations.
My trip to Akihabara provided
me with another chance to get
lost in Tokyo. However, this time
I knew how to get lost. 1 planned
to follow a train line which ran
east-west from Akihabara to the
Ochanomizu and Suidobashi
station. After I had been walking
for a while, I discovered that I
had followed the wrong train line
— a line which ran roughly northsouth. No harm was done though.
I asked some people in a record
shop where I was, and hopped on
the subway when I found out.
Thereafter, I depended on the
sun much more to orient myself,
and believed falsely that subway
stations were close enough
together that I could always walk
until I found a station if 1 got lost.
It was about this time that I
formulated the erroneous theory
that Japanese people do not
cheat on the subway system
because to cheat the subway
system would be a breach of
f a m i l y honor. I had been
cheating the system of small
amounts of money — ten or
twenty yen here, a hundred yen
there — and felt guilty about it,
although not guilty enough to
stop cheating. I theorized that
Japanese people would not cheat
the system because it would
violate their family's honor.
In fact, I was wrong: quite a
few Japanese people cheat the
subway system without guilt if
they think that nobody in their
group will find out. Bruce
Wilkerson, the professor who
taught the American Studies
class, pointed out that gaijin
think that Japanese people have
rigorous individual moral
standards because, their moral
behavior in groups is so good.
In fact this is not the case: in
private, morality is generally
non-existent. Of course, it is a
caricature to say the Japanese
people h a v e no i n d i v i d u a l
morality: I spent fruitless words
trying to convince Tom Sato that
bilking the subway system of a
few yen per ride Is the right thing
to do. My argument was that
because everyone cheats the
system, subway fares a r e higher
than they would be if everyone
was honest. Thus, those who pay
the correct fare are fools because
they are paying more than they
should for their rides. Tom's
argument was simple: 44 just be
honest," he implored, dodging
the philosophical reasons not to
be.
On Wednesday of my second
week In Tokyo, my home stay
began. I had met my host,
Naonori (Nao) Kimura, on the
previous Friday at a reunion for
the alumni of the Meijl Gakuin
program to Hope. Nao was
twenty-five, and taught English
In high school. After our first
meeting, I had the impression
that Nao lived alone. A family
did not materialize until I was on
the way to his house. Then he told
me .that he was living with his
parents, and had a brother and
sister, both In their teens. This
was my first Indication that Nao
might be having some problems
with his family. As It turned out,
he was: his family problems
centered around Nao's career
choice. Nao's father wanted him
to join the family business; he
owns one of the most respected
fishing supply businesses In
Tokyo, and has several stores.
The stores have been In the
family for three generations, and
because Nao Is the oldest son, his
father had expected that after he
retired, Nao would inherit the
business. The problem was that
Nao wanted no part of the
business. As a teacher, he was
not making enough money to
move out of the house, so Nao
was stuck under his father's roof
unless he joined the business as
his father wanted him to do.
Because of this conflict, there
d i d n ' t s e e m to b e m u c h
communication within the family
on vital matters: it seemed, for
example, that Nao had told Meiji
Gakuin that he wanted to host a
student without clearing it
e n t i r e l y with his f a m i l y
m e m b e r s . His p a r e n t s and
siblings were cordial enough to
me when I arrived, but they
didn't seem thrilled by my
p r e s e n c e . P a r t of t h e i r
ambivalence towards me might
have been because of the fact
that Nao was the only member of
the family who could speak good
English-his siblings came out
with o c c a s i o n a l English
sentences, as did his mother, but
it was hard to judge how good
they were at speaking the
language.
His mother's grasp of English
was especially amorphous: she
greeted me in what seemed to be
fluent English when I arrived,
but her proficiency seemed to
d e c l i n e d a i l y . F i n a l l y she
apologized to me because she
could not speak English (in
English, of course). Nao's father
was easier to figure out — he
spoke no English, save for a
perfunctory word or two. As a
result, I communicated with him
mostly through the judicious use
of grunts. I was again confronted
with the fact that I should have
learned some Japanese before I
went to Japan.
The home stay lasted from
Wednesday afternoon to Sunday
night. During that time Nao's
family gradually warmed up to
me: by the night of the barbecue
at Nao's uncle's apartment, I had
won them over on my own
merits. Nao's father grunted in a
kinder, m o r e understanding
tone, and they Invited me back
for dinner the next Sunday. Some
exerpts from my journal about
the homestay follow:
I went on a quick tour of Tokyo
with Nao today. We went to
Tower Records in Shlbuya,
w a l k e d t h r o u g h t h e NHK
television studios, observed the
view from Tokyo Tower, and
walked through Roppongl (a
district which features a host of
clubs and discos). Tower
Records was a disappointment
(Tower Records In Manhattan Is
much better) but going there
gave me a chance to see justice
being meted out on the streets of
Shlbuva.
As we w a l k e d t h r o u g h
Shlbuya this morning, we saw a
shopekeeper who was wrestling
with a man on the sidewalk who
was somewhat unkempt and
apparently drunk. The man, who
was rumored to have stolen
something from the shopkeeper's
store, was struggling weakly to
extricate himself from the loose
headlock the shopkeeper held
him in. The police were said to be
on the way, but I didn't watch the

Hunger Remains A Problem In Central America
Editor's note: The following
was provided by the Mortar
In spite of today's vast a r r a y of
knowledge and technological
advances, we a r e still unable to
feed the people of the world.
Contrary to popular belief, world
hunger is not a thing of the past,
but is instead a very real
problem of the present. The
thought of "out of sight, out of
mind" does not alleviate the fact
that hunger continues to be a
major contributor a s well a s a
cause of worldwide fatalities.
Hunger p e r m e a t e s many regions
of the world including Africa,
Southeast Asia, the Middle East,
the Caribbean, South America,
and Latin America. The Latin
American hunger problem is
somewhat perplexing, for they
have the capabilities to curtail
this dilemma, but, as of yet, have
failed to do so.
t e r r i t o r i e s . T h i s l a c k of
education inhibits the ability of
Latin American people to help
themselves. They then become
dependent upon others for help,
such a s the government or
charitable nations, who only give
relief sporadically, if at all.
A second m a j o r cause
c o n t r i b u t i n g to u n d e r f e d
populations is the presence of
social inequality. In Honduras, 44
percent of the people a r e landless
and 90 percent of rural families
a r e too poor to afford an
adequate diet.
In G u a t e m a l a , C e n t r a l
America's richest, largest, and
most industrialized nation, two
thirds of the national income
goes to one quarter of the
p o p u l a t i o n . 66 p e r c e n t of

spectacle long enough to find out
if they ever got there.
We also went to see a couple of
the shops Nao's father owns. One
of the stores takes up four or five
floors of a building whose floor
space per floor is about that of a
medium to large American
newspaper shop. One thing which
contiunally amazes me is the fact
that almost everything in Tokyo
s e e m s m o r e v e r t i c a l than
horizontal, although Tokyo is not
a particularly tall city.
A quick visit to one of Nao's
aunts was also part of the
itinerary. Her apartment was
five floors up, above another
fishing store which Nao's father
owns. The apartment was fairly
spacious by Tokyo standards.
Two rooms — the main room and
a bedroom, plus a small laundry
area — were in view, and one or
two bedrooms may have lurked
behind a couple of closed doors.
The main room was a
combination living room,
kitchen, and dining room. The
window there had a great view of
the railroad tracks.
We sat on the couch in the
living room area as Nao talked
with his aunt. I offered a few
tentative Japanese words, such
as t4 Tokyo keko des." I thought
t h a t m e a n t < 4 T o k y o is
wonderful," but it turned out to
mean something like 44 (I've)
eaten enough of Tokyo: it's
good."
The children of Nao's aunt —
two girls and one boy, all
preschool age — played a video
game on the floor. A baby
crayfish on the coffee table sat
rather forlornly in a red plastic
bucket with a few pebbles on the
bottom. Childish pictures of
strangely distorted animals were
displayed on a filing cabinet next
to the couch. Water stains
spotted the living room ceiling,
which also sported three bare
fluorescent tubes. There was an
oriental rug on the tatami in the
bedroom, a few Japanese dolls in
their protective cases, and a pink
quilted cover on the phone.
The most notable thing about
our visit was the envelope Nao's
aunt handed him. It was a piece
of "happy mail:" inside there
was a questionnaire and a letter
from a computer dating service
which p r o m i s e d a " h a p p y
beginning," a 4 'happy time," and
a "happy ending."
1 had the distinct feeling that
Nao was a little pissed at his aunt
for her invasion of his privacy, a
feeling which was augmented
whe he tore up the happy mail
and tucked it carefully back
inside its envelope.
Y e s t e r d a y , ( S u n d a y ) , the
Kimuras treated me to a tour of
the J a p a n e s e equivalent of
Williamsburg. The name of the
place is Nihon Minka-en, and it's
located in Kawasaki city. There
were craftsmen making
traditional straw sandals and
raincoats, and plenty of historic
houses and shops.
After our tour of the village, we
ate lunch at a restaurant whose
menu was a cross between
Japanese and American cooking.
I had onion soup and fried pork
which I ate with a knife and fork
(gasp).
What followed was supposed to
be a trip down to Yokohama, but
turned out to be a tour of
Japanese traffic jams. We ended
up s t o p p i n g only once in
Y o k o h a m a to o b s e r v e a
miniature road rally which was
being conducted with
surprisingly powerful radiocontrolled, gas-powered cars.
The cars were only about a foot
and a half or two feet long, but
they were doing a remarkable
job of tearing up the turf.
We finally stopped at one of the
family's fishing supply stores.
This store was run by another
one of Nao's uncles. His aunt,
uncle and cousins lived above the
store in an apartment which we
went up to for a barbecue. The
patio where we had the barbecue
was at the back of the apartment,
and f e a t u r e d a r a t h e r
unassuming view of a parking
lot. Bare bulbs were hung
artlessly on a clothesline for the
occasion.
About eight members of Nao's
family and I gathered around the
large boxy grill at the center of
the patio. We barbecued lamb,
beef, squid, and potatoes on the
grill. There was also sashimi.
which was very good because it
h a d b e e n m a r i n a t e d in
something, watermelon, (a real
luxury) and ice cream.
After I had become quite full, I
stretched out on the patio with
my feet near the grill, and had
my head in the living room — the
living room and patio were
separated by a sliding door.
Casey Kasem was on the radio,
and I was so comfortable I didn't
want to get up. Nao, who was
lying beside me, was not quite as
comfortable as I was, because
his family was talking about his
future marital plans.
While I was at the Kimuras, 1
watched a lot of television with
them. Quite a bit of Japanese TV
is home grown, although some
American movies and TV shows
are imported, and are dubbed
flawlessly. Sometimes the effect
of the dubbing was hilarious, as it
was when I happened to tune in
Jimmy Swaggart waving a Bible
and speaking in Japanese.
The dubbing technicians had
even added the correct amount of
echo for the auditorium he was
speaking in. An American movie,
which I saw a few minutes of at
the Kimuras, was set in the
American South. When I tuned
in, a car chase was in progress.
The Kimuras had a bilingual set,
so I could toggle between the
original English and the dubbed
J a p a n e s e . Doing this, I
discovered that the e n t i r e
soundtrack had been remixed for
the Japanese version; the music
and sound was the same, but it
wasn't in sync with the original.
The spirit of the movie's
translation also seemed out of
sync: the translation had none of
the Southern feel of the original. 1
wondered how much of the film
would make sense to a Japanese
viewer.
Japanese produced shows did
not seem to be as well done as
their American counterparts,
although the fact that 1 didn't
speak Japanese probably made
my judgements harsher. The
first Japanese show which 1 saw
in lioka, and which I continued to
see, was a Japanese version of
Solid Gold. It struck me as a little
chincy, although Solid Gold itself
is more than a little chincy to
begin with. The interesting thing
about the singers who starred on
the show was that they made
motions which emulated those of
American pop stars, but they
w e r e d o n e in a d e l i c a t e
Japanese way.
A rather puzzling bit of TV
production w a s a show in which
the buglike villain attracted thattention of the hero by playing a
violin. The hero, an apparently
ordinary young man, would go
through a Supermanesque
t r a n s f o r m a t i o n , a n d would
proceed to fight the villain. 1 was
tempted to try to analyze what
the show said about the Japanese
mind, but then again, there are
some things which really should
not be overanalyzed.
Japanese commercials also
should not be overanalyzed, but
they do seem to provide some
clues to the nature of Japanese
life. One of the first impressions 1

Dutchmen Blast Olivet 48-14
By Ben Hanneman
anchor Sports Editor
The Flying Dutchmen football
team hosted the Olivet Comets
Saturday in the final regular
season game of the season and
remained undefeated in the
MIAA with a 48-14 blowout.
Before the Comet fans could
warm up their seats the
Dutchmen had jumped out to a
10-0 lead on a Duy Dang field goal
and a 12-yard touchdown run by
quarterback Mark Hahn.
F r o m t h a t point on t h e
Dutchmen were never
threatened as they conducted a
virtual clinic on the finer points
of MIAA football allowing Coach
Ray Smith massive substitutions
late in the game.
Offensively t h e Dutchmen
compiled a total of 464 yards, 328
of which came via the running
attack including three of the six
touchdowns.
Sophomore tailback Chris
Dui7ee and senior running back
Keith Stewart teamed up for 166
yards and two touchdowns.
Junior Tim Peterson caught
three passes for 40 yards.
On the other side of the
scrimmage line the Dutchmen
defense allowed just 18 yards in
the first half as they blanked the
Comets for most of t h r e e
quarters.
The Comets could generate
less than 200 yards offensively all
afternoon as Hope showed why
they are the number one defense
in the l e a g u e allowing an
average of just 94 yards per
game.
Led by seniors Don Dahlquist
and Craig Forsman, both playing
their final game as Dutchmen,
the defensive alignment racked
up five sacks for minus 29 yards.
With just under four minutes
gone in the third quarter Tim
Lamie flew through the offensive
line, blocked the punt and
recovered the ball in the end zone
to put Hope up 20-0.
With the win the Dutchmen
remained atop the MIAA with a
perfect 6-0 record in the league
play and captured their ninth
outright title under Smith since
1970.
The contest also marked the
final appearance for thirteen
seniors who have been part of
t h r e e MIAA c h a m p i o n s h i p
teams, were part of the first

DeVette Coaches Last Game
Longtime Hope coach Russ
DeVette was on the sidelines
guiding the defensive fortunes of
the Flying Dutchmen football
team for the final time last
Saturday afternoon when Hope
defeated Olivet and wrapped up
the MIAA championship.
DeVette will retire from the
college faculty at the end of the
current academic year.
DeVette has had an association
with Hope College dating back to
the 1940,s as a student-athlete
and since 1948 as a coach.
As a student, he was a standout
basketball player. In 1947 he was
voted the MIAA's first most
valuable player.
he joined the Hope staff as an
assistant football coach and the
hed coach in m e n ' s basketball
and track. He served as Hope's
head football coach for 15 years,
leading the Dutchmen to MIAA
titles in 1958 and 1963. Since 1970
he h a s been d e f e n s i v e
coordinator.
During his career he has also
been head coach In baseball and
women's track.
From 1956 to 1961 DeVette was
head coach of three major sports
(football, basketball and
baseball) in the same season.
As a head coach, he led Hope to
14 MIAA championships — nine
in basketball, two each in
baseball and football, and one in
women's track, he has been an
assistant coach on 17 other
league championship teams.
"Russ has meant so much to so
many people," said head football
coach Ray Smith. "To narrow it
down to the football program, he
has just been a m a j o r Influence
in my own life as a person, a s a
Christian and as a football
coach."
4<
So o f t e n t h e c h a i n of
command in football is that the
assistants learn from the head
coach, but I can unequivocally
say that I have learned so much
from Russ and I have given back
so little to him," continued
Smith. "He helped m e greatly
when I came to Hope. I was
young and sort of wet behind the
ears. I feel that a s I gained
maturity a lot of that c a m e
because of the influence of Russ
as a leader. He will be greatly
missed."

of any Dutchmen team, and I feel
p r o u d to h a v e b a d t h e
opportunity to be i part of the
"total experience of running"
that coach Vanderbiit h a s talked
of all season.
It's a feeling like no other to be
a p a r t of a team that really cares
about everyone regardless of
their race results. Win or lose
they're all behind you.
Little did 1 realize back in
August when we began practice
as a team that this total
experience would include having
to shave my ankle and even
getting passed by in a race by a
4'!!" Calvin runner.
That's right ladies. I can now
say with confidence I don't envy
you regarding the chore. It's not
easy, especially when you cut
yourself, right?
As far as the Calvin runner
passing me, well, just imagine
how you would feel if someone
half your size and weight went
wheeling past you a s if you were
standing still?
It's not a pleasant sight.
Calvin was tough this year.

To all runners on the 1987 Hope

Greg Foster Gets Set For 1988
(Olympics in Seoul
W.C. H e i n z , t h e g r e a t
sportswriter, wrote in "A Tale of
Two Pitchers" that there was no
reason to tell the particular
baseball he was about to narrate,
except that it happened.
Well, there is no reason in
particular to tell this story at this
time, a tale of three hurdlers,
and politics, and sport. Except
that it happened. And Greg
Foster is a remarkable young
athlete, with a singular tale of his
own.
Cosell
Howard Cosell
Emmy and I saw him some
days ago, for the first time in a
long time, at the finish line of the
New York City Marathon. The 29
year-old F o s t e r , for those
unfamiliar with him, runs the 110
meter hurdles and the 200-meter
dash. He won the silver medal in
Los Angeles for the hurdles. He
says he lost the gold to Roger
Kingdon — whom he has beaten
20 times since then — because he
thought there was a false start to
the race, and he slowed down
momentarily. He never got a
chance to make up the lost time,
and never quite regained the
level of concentration he says is
key to winning a hurdling event.
There's just 15 meters to the first
hurdle, 10 to each succeeding
hurdle, and 15 meters to the
finish line. If you don't start off
fast, you don't win. That slow
start has haunted him for almost
four years.
His aim in life once was
winning an Olympic gold medal.
Now, things are a little more
complicated than that, goals and
motivations less clear, after the
events of August 1985. That was
when Greg Foster lost his
mother, his 5 year-old namesake
nephew, his two aunts and his 14
year-old cousin in a hit-and-run
car accident. Not everyone died
at once. Foster's mother lingered
several weeks. The tragedy
shattered him and his life, and he
no longer cared to compete for
anything, least of all a gold
medal.
Then his father and sister
spoke to him. They encouraged
him to return to competition. As
is often the case, they told him it
would please his mother, it would
make her happy and proud.
Foster listened. And he began to
run again and to beat Kingdon at
every turn. He has never bested

Dang made good on his first

The rape on campus marks the

LAMBERT cont. from page 10
had concerning the difference
between Japanese and American
commercials was that while
American commercials offer
happiness, Japanese
commercials offer release. A
commercial which I saw in lioka
featured a man hang-gliding
over water in what appeared to
be a dream sequence.
When he reached shore, he
touched down just in time to be
embraced by a woman with
European features. In addition to
the element of release from
everyday routine, this
c o m m e r c i a l showed the
Japanese ad men have to use
Europeans and Americans to
indicate a high quality product.
It is rather startling to note how
few Japanese people star in
Japanese commercials, and in
other advertisements. Most of
the reason for the dearth of
Japanese people in their own ads
is that t|iey believe they a r e not
as beautiful as their European
and American counterparts.
Another commercial showed
the occupants of a subway car
being addressed by a bag of some
sort of snacks which was sitting
on the luggage rack. The people
in the subway looked up at the
J?ag with the beleaguered look of
wonder that would probably be
accorded a talking cellophone
bag on a crowded subway.
My f a v o r i t e c o m m e r c i a l

a blue bikini who stood in a
crosswalk holding a jar of sauce
aloft. A man in a gray business
suit walked

unceremoniously fell over when
he reached the woman. The
commercial ended with a shot of
the sauces. Unfortunately, I
couldn't find out what the
the woman was, and thus
couldn't quite fathom why the
man had fallen over.
Curiously, I didn't notice that
Japanese commercials were all
fifteen seconds long until the end
of my stay in Tokyo. When all the
commercials are fifteen seconds,
the length seems normal because
they are produced to make full
use of the time. In fifteen
seconds, one doesn't have time
f o r 4 t s l i c e of l i f e " t y p e
commercials, and so there are
almost none of these.
Instead, J a p a n e s e
commercials rely heavily on,
memorable images and sounds
for their impact. This can get
annoying when the s a m e
commercial is repeated several
times, as one was when I was
watching the Japanese version of
MTV at about one in the
morning.
During t h r e e c o m m e r c i a l
breaks, which spanned fifteen
minutes of an interview the VJ
was having with some Japanese
musicians, one commercial was
played ten times — sometimes
back to back. The commercial, a
station promo for a show called
" E a t Nine" engraved itself in my
memory to such an extent that
the sound of the voices at the
beginning singing 44 eat nine" is
one of the strongest aural
memories I brought back with
me from Japan;not even the
mournful note of the noodle
man's horn: da da da da dum —
a sound which was heard at
about eleven or twelve at night
outside the Y as the noodle man
trundled his cart down the street
— was remembered more
strongly than the voices in the
television c o m m e r c i a l . That
must show that the commercial
got ifspoint across." * '

Things I
Sometimes
Think About
Jim Monnett
Some things I think I think.
Someday I would like to make
the roof of Phelps cafeteria,
which we affectionately call
"Pebble Beach," into something
useful. There is enough room for
a volleyball court, but maybe a
putting green would be safer.
Actually, though, I think the best
thing to build would be a small
go-cart race track. We could
even put a j u m p in over to the
hills of the M a a s Center. It'd
make a great study break.
The four least credible phrases
in the English language are:
"The check is in the m a i l , " "Of
course I'll respect you in the
morning," "I understand women
(or men depending on your
preference)," and "Hello, I'm
from the government and I'm
here to help you."
I sometimes walk so slow that
the chemistry students try to
embalm me. It really ruins my
shirts.
R a m b o has been much
criticized by the educated, but I
believe they have missed the
remarkable similarities between
him and our dear English
language. Both produce sweat
and blood. Both scare young
children. Finally and most
rmy*
importantly, both R a m b o and the
English language a r e imprecise
in their methods, but they get the
job done. (Anyone who is saying
to himself that English is precise
should try to explain to a foreign
English student the 'I before E
except after C rule.)
Sometimes I get the feeling life
is a parade, and I am a manhole
cover.
NFL football is really boring
this year. There's more action in
a bowl of Rice Krispies with
milk.
I mourn the passing of MASH.
Cliff Huxtable is no Hawkeye
Pierce.
I know a kid who thinks that
everyone was put on this earth
for his pleasure. I don't think that
is my job in life. If it is, then start
sending m e my unemployment
checks.
I bet the astrologers will soon
find a connection between Ursa
Major, the Chicago Bears, and
the present bear m a r k e t on the
stock exchange.
What if the Tribulation starts
tomorrow? Won't a lot of people
be surprised?
I h e a r a lot of p e o p l e
complaining about Phelps' food.
P a r t of the problem is that we eat
it every single day. No m a t t e r
how much variety you have, it'll
all grow old sooner or later. If
you w a n t a r e a l c u l i n a r y

where you can feast on slop so

I don't c a r e if this is a Burger
King town.
Just as all things must come to
pass, so must Ronald Reagan.
Say goodnight, Bonzo.
The Michal Stanley Band
said in " J u s t How Good (A Bad
Woman F e e l s ) " , "I ain't no
Prince Charming, ain't no last
chance... " That about sums up
my feelings about girls-boys who
have u n r e a s o n a b l y high
standards and free Saturday
nights.
I hear a lot of cruel talk about
homosexuals. These people are
using the Bible as a justification
to discriminate against gays.
Well, if the Bible is taken as a
whole it says we have to hate
their sin but love them as fellow
sinners. What's left of the Bible if
we read it without love?
With so many research papers
being written, I hear a lot of
gripes from all grades about not
being able to find relevant
information at the library. I
assume that the new library will
solve these complaints. I hope
I'm not disappointed.
Doesn't Cultural Anthropology
sound scary?
H o p e ' s p r o f e s s o r s a r e so

Dayton University, and was

Arguably the worst joke of all

Editorial
Congress Reps: Who Do
They Represent?
At the anchor's recent budget appropriation meeting, one
m e m b e r of the c o m m i t t e e voiced their opinion that syndicated
news material didn't belong in a college newspaper. They also
"didn't like" the changes the newspaper has underwent this p a s t
semester.
This isn't something we haven't already heard, a n u m b e r of
students and faculty h a v e stated they do not like the new anchor,
but prefer the old one. Even an anchor staff m e m b e r resigned
early in September citing disagreements with the new editorial
policies.
We realize we cannot please everyone. But the statements at the
appropriations meeting raised some serious questions regarding
the representation of Hope's student body.
The Student Congress m e m b e r who m a d e the comments w a s
not in favor of additional funding for the anchor to cover e x t r a
expenses such a s syndicated m a t e r i a l and the annual media
conference in New York City.
However, one wonders exactly who m a d e the comments. Was
the m e m b e r speaking for themself personally or for the
consitutents they represent? We hope those comments represent
how students feel. We doubt they do.
According to a n u m b e r of Student Congress representatives, the
Congress has no " r e a l " power. Ally they can do Is m a k e
recommendations. Yet, personal recommendations do little good
at all. This is supposed to be a democracy, not oligarchy.
If a number of students feel the syndicated m a t e r i a l and
features a r e a waste of t i m e and money they should let the anchor
know. One way to do this is to c o m m u n i c a t e with their Congress
representatives.
One of our goals at T h e anchor is to serve the students of this
campus. It doesn't m a t t e r if t h e y ' r e athletes. Blacks, gays or
commuters. However, we want to serve all of them, not just a few.
This week's winner: Then m e n ' s football team and women's
cross-country and volleyball t e a m s for winning MIAA
championships in their respective sports. A special salute to
Coach Russ DeVette for his dedication to athletics at Hope since
1948. He will retire in May.
This week's loser: Hope students. Student Congress is proposing
to meet on a bi-weekly basis, insted of weekly a s they do now. A
one hour a week sacrifice isn't much if the m e m b e r s w e r e
dedicated in representing the students who voted for them. We
urge them to stick with weekly meetings.

The Bright Birthday Blues
As I sit at my desk in my

birthday is upon me. The fact is
on Friday (the 13th) I will be 21
years old.
From The

Brian Breen
While birthdays a r e a glorious
event for many, they've become
somewhat personal and solemn
for me. The days have passed
when a birthday meant the time
to receive the most significant
toy of the year. Now if I need
something bad enough, I wait
unitl I've saved the money and
then I buy it.
And usually at this time I look
back to see what the past 12
months have meant to me.
However, this year is different.
It's a time to gaze into the crystal

ball and hypothesize on the year
ahead. A y e a r which the
following ones — good or bad —
may be built upon.
So with that in mind, this what
l e a n or could see:
Next year I should be a wellseasoned collegian, laughing at
the f r e s h m a n and wondering if
they'll ever m a k e it. Somehow I
know they will... because I did.
Next year I will be a fourthyear junior, hating my new

contemplating if I should spend a

P h i l a d e l p h i a , or C h i c a g o .
Wrigley Field is so beautiful on
Opening Day.
Next year I may lose someone
dear to me, like a good friend or
relative. Then life will seem hard
and unfair... like it is sometimes.
Next year I will be 22, a third of
the way towards retirement, and
I haven't even started a career
yet. I doubt is Social Security will
be around in the year 2032. I
wonder if even I will be around in
2032.
Next year I will probably be
looking (again) for Miss Right.
She has eluded m e ever since I
got here... and done a bleeping
good job, too.
Next year I could be living at

number of blown fuses and high

numerous electric shavers and

several lamps, and only one
electrical circuit in the whole
damn house.
Next year I may be editor of

at my computer that I'm still
paying for (and will be for a

very far when you only m a k e $64

would be satisfied.

be there cursing at little kids,
while making change for video

Next year I will be wishing I

Letters To The Editor
Dry Dock Beverage
Students Don't Take Stand On Issues
M a s t e r Card &
Visa accepted
T
students were critically languid.
What I mean by that is that
students here will not take a
stand on issues that are just as
e a s i l y v a s s e l a t e d on. I
understand that colllege is
supposed to be a formative
period in our lives and we should
not jump at things too abruptly,
but we must challenge the world
around us in order to fully tap its
resources.
Everyone's had that class
where all you must do is
r e g u r g i t a t e the p r o f e s s o r s
Hope College students are
critically languid. This became
all too apparent to me when I
read through the last issue of the
anchor. It was not so much what
was there in print, as much as
what was not.
I may be wrong, but it seems to
me that what we have here is an
easily accessible, inexpensive
(free) medium for expressing
our thoughts on current issues. A
letter to the editor is easy and
' takes very little time.
E a r l i e r I said tht Hope
lectures to receive that GPA
boosting "A". I would like to
challenge you to think for
yourself, be critical of what you
are being taught and take a stand
for what it means to you.
Challenge yourself, read an
opposing view, read a
newspaper, buy a book instead of
the new Poison album. Practice
thinking and acting instead of
just reacting.
