The odd-year song girls work on their routines in the basement of Dimnent Chapel. The 69th Nykerk Cup Competition will be held at the Civic Center at 8 p.m. on Saturday. This year's competition will pit the Class of 2007 against the Class of 2006.

Maureen Yonovitz ARTS EDITOR

For 69 years, Hope females have been

coming together to prepare, practice, and

produce one of Hope ' s most long-stand-

ing and popular traditions, Nykerk. The

tradition will continue at 8 p.m. on Sat-

urday in the Civic Center as a part of

Parents ' Weekend. Admission is free.

A l t h o u g h t rad i t ion is a m a j o r par t of

Nykerk, some slight modifications will be

made to this year 's ceremony. In the past,

the commit tee has been introduced at the be-

ginning of the ceremony, but due to public

criticism, this event has been moved to the

end of the program.

"We are hoping that by moving this cer-

emony to a time when our audience typically

mills about we can cut about half an hour

out of the c e r e m o n y i t s e l f , " sa id Kris t i

Creswell ( '04) , Nykerk general chair.

The bulk of the Nykerk tradition, however,

will remain intact, featuring, as it always has,

the freshman and sophomore classes in song,

play, and oration.

Nykerk song requires the musical talents

of both the coaches and song girls. Three

even-year participants, Suzzy Lockwood

( '06) , Jess Schmidt ( '06) , and Rachel

VandeGiessen ( '06), made additional ar-

rangements to this y e a r ' s song, "D ia -

monds Are a Girl 's Best Friend."

"Our directing coach, Sam, asked us to

try to add a part to the song that was miss-

Security concerns cause dorms to lockdown Anjey Dykhuis MANAGING EDITOR

This past weekend, tensions have

been high on campus as students

wondered what the first Campus

Safety alert they received entailed.

O n Sa tu rday night and S u n d a y

morning, KnowHope featured an

announcement that Hope would be

going under he ightened securi ty

due to "a series of incidents." Later,

an a n n o u n c e m e n t f r o m Richard

Frost, Dean of Students, was posted

going into further details about the

two specific incidents that had con-

cerned Campus Safety. Yesterday,

a third announcement was posted

concerning measures that will be

taken to p reven t such inc iden ts

f rom happening again.

Because of the span of time be-

tween the f i r s t and second an-

n o u n c e m e n t , r u m o r s b e g a n to

spread about the cause of the in-

crease in security measures on cam-

pus, and students began to get edgy,

wondering what had happened.

"As a female student, I 'm person-

ally terrified. Once it's dark out, I 'm

not going anywhere alone. We have

a right to know what ' s going on so

our fear can possibly be eliminated

c o m p a r e d to e leva ted . We need

facts. We don ' t need names. Facts

is all we ask," said Amanda Dekker

( 0 5 ) .

Dean Frost also asked that when

such events happen, students stay

in tune with KnowHope to get in-

formation.

"We try very hard to keep stu-

dents fully informed as quickly and

accurately as possible," Frost said.

"Don ' t start rumors that fr ighten

people until you know the full story.

Ask Campus Safety or your Resi-

dent Life Assistant what happened.

Be careful that you share facts and

not rumors ."

On Saturday night, a man who is

not involved with Hope Col lege

was in the basement in the com-

puter lab at Lichty Hall, looking at

pornography. Later, a resident was

in the bathroom and reported that

the lights flashed and she was afraid

s o m e o n e w a s in the b a t h r o o m .

Because of the proximity in t i m e '

and location of the two incidents.

Campus Safety locked Lichty early

for the evening, allowing residents

entry only with their access cards,

according to Chad Wolters, Ser-

geant for Campus Safety.

An hour and a half later, another

incident was reported, this time at

Cosmo/Wyckoff . Some girls had

Cultural heritage showcased An international showcase will provide a sampling of cultural heri-

tage f rom around the world during "Images: A Reflection of Cultures"

at Hope College on Saturday at 3 p.m. at the Knickerbocker Theatre.

The showcase will feature songs, poems, dances and other clips of

culture in multiple languages and fashions. T h e showcase is spon-

sored by the college's Off ice of International Education. This year it is

being presented in conjunction with the college's Parents ' Weekend

activities, which are running Friday through Sunday.

Computer monitors stolen On October 21, there was a break-in at Van Zoeren Hall. The break

in happened at 1:30 in the morning. The thieves broke into one of the

computer labs and stole four of the computer monitors. The theft was

discovered the next morning. Earlier this year, monitors were stole

f rom another lab in the hall. The break in and theft are being investi-

gated by both Campus Safety and the Holland Police Department. At

this time, they have no suspects and no leads as to what happened to

the four monitors that were taken.

Gentile chosen for achievements Dean of Natural Sci-ences receives honor as Fellow for research

Danielle Koski BUSINESS MANAGER

Mutations aren't only found in

comic books or movies, they're also gcnctic changes and shifts that

can cause disease, including can-

cer. They can be caused by vari-

ous environmental factors and are specifically what James Gentile!

dean of the natural sciences, re-

searches. Gentile has been elected

as a Fellow of the American Asso-

ciation for the Advancement of Sci-ence (AAAS) in recognition for his

contribution to both undergraduate

science education and his research

in genetic toxicology and mutagen-

esis. According to Genti le , he was

surprised and humbled by the honor

of being selected as a Fellow.

"It was an honor I never antici-

pated receiving and, in fact, did not know 1 was even nominated for,"

said Gentile. The AAAS was founded in 1848

and is the world's largest federation

of scientists. The advancement of the well-being of humans is i t 's

foremost objective and is accom-

plished through various programs,

projects , and publicat ions. The

AAAS also publishes the journal

Science. Gentile has been a mem-ber of the AAAS for years and has

published in Science, but, accord-

ing to him. has not been very ac-

tive in the organization.

"Their recognition is evidently

not limited to service components,

and that makes it even nicer that

they somehow identified me out of

J. Gentile

the broader pool of scientists," said

Gentile. Gentile has been recognized for

his research by various organiza-

tions, including the National Acad-

emy of Sciences, the National Re-search Council Life Science Board,

and the International Association of

Environmental Mutagen Societies.

According to James Boelkins, pro-

vost at Hope Col lege, Gent i le ' s var ious contr ibut ions to science

both at Hope and nationwide make

his se lec t ion as a Fe l low wel l -

earned. "He is recognized nationally by

his peers, and his many activities

have helped bring national recog-

nition to Hope's science programs,"

said Boelkins. "I think this (honor) reflects well

on Hope College. While I am be-

ing recognized for things I have

accomplished, it was Hope College

that provided me with the opportu-

nities to work with students on re-

search and then promoted ways in which I could find the time to be

involved in the national activities

in teaching and resea rch , " said

Gentile. Gentile will be officially honored

on Febuary 14 in Seatt le at f h e

AAAS meeting.

New Relay for Life Ignites Hope!

Relay for Life raised over $35,000 for cacner research over this past weekend. The goal was $10,000, wh ich was far exceeded. Over 30 teams of students part icipated. The team that raised the most money was the Dorian sorority.

entered it via the window and sto-

len a computer. "The main thing here is to lock

your doors," Wolters said. "When

you leave your bedroom, think of

it less as a bedroom and more like an apar tment . Make sure your

room door is locked and the win-

dows are secure. The college will

secure the buildings."

Campus Safety and the adminis-tration are trying to work out a sys-

tem that will ensure the safety of

the Hope College community while

remaining as open and inviting as

possible. "The security and safety of stu-

dents is the highest priority of this campus," Frost said. "We' re trying

to work out how we strike the bal-

ance of having an open, inviting '

campus while remaining secure.

This is the most difficult part, be-

cause we want to be inviting, but that 's not always safest for the stu-

dents. The issue is still being dis-

cussed, and hopefully we'l l come

to a resolution quickly."

Wolters and Frost said that, even

before the incidents, discussions

were in progress about securing

residential buildings. " T h i s o n g o i n g c o n v e r s a t i o n

(about security) is something we

have been fol lowing all a long,"

NYKERK from 1

Frost said. "We're not being reac-

tionary. We're just trying to lake

the right steps to ensure security."

Frost noted that some residential

b u i l d i n g h a v e m o r e s t r i n g e n t locked hours than others and that

with this new heightening of secu-

rity, Hope will try to bring up to

date the buildings that are more

open. For instance. Cook Hall, the new-

est residential hall on campus, is

supposed to stay locked at all times

to those without access cards, ex-

cept for the front door. Wolters said one sugges t ion

would be to keep all halls locked at

all times, with entry only through

student access cards, which, be-tween 11 p.m. and 10 a.m., would

only function for a student's own

home. " L a s t week we were t a lk ing

about locking the secondary doors 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, but

now we are re thinking th ings ,"

Wolters said. F ina l ly , F ros t

asked that students

be understanding of

such events.

"Students need to

understand that we will secure the cam-

p u s at t i m e s be-

c a u s e of i n f o r m a t i o n we c a n ' t

share. We're asking that you trust

us. Ninety-nine percent of the time, I will share what informat ion I

have," Frost said. He also asked that students be

aware of suspicious situations, such

as the presence of people who don't belong on campus, that students

lock their doors, and use common

sense. "As a community, we constantly

need to be aware of things we need

to improve," Frost said. "We are

taking steps to secure residence

halls even more." For now, though, while these is-

sues are worked out, all secondary

doors of all residential halls will be

continually locked, starting today.

Durfee, Voorhees, and Phelps will be excluded from this policy due

to classes held in the buildings and

Phelps Dining Hall.

We want to be inviting, but that's not always the safest for the students.

listened to the Marilyn Monroe version and wrote the

additional piano and vocal part," Lockwood said. Abby Bolkema ( '07), piano accompanist for odd

year song, also did some arranging of her own to the

song, "I Say a Little Prayer."

"I 'm especially proud of the end, actually," Bolkema

said. Although this is her first year of Nykerk, odd year

orator Kasey Bersett ( '07) is used to performing in

front of an audience. "I did a lot of public speaking and acting in high

school and really like the thrill of being able to impact

a crowd," Bersett said. According to even year play coach Marjorie Behm

('04), both playgirls and coaches alike say that rehears-als are what they look forward to when they wake up

in the morning. "All of the girls and the coaches have a blast each

night as they explore new ways to make the play both

original and captivating," Behm said. "They are all

so talented and have really put forth an effort into this

year 's play." In the midst of all their hard work and preparation,

the girls involved in Nykerk agree that one of its most

important aspects is the opportunity to meet new

people. "It is nice because we have gotten to know each

other so much better and form good friendships which

is what Nykerk is really all about," VandeGiessen said.

In addition to this, both Creswell and Kristina Martinez ( '04), senior publicity chair, point out that

one of their favorite things about Nykerk is the fruits

of the whole rehearsal process that are revealed on

the night of the performance. "I enjoy watching the magic of the event," Creswell

said. "To think that everything you see on Nykerk night came from less than 28 days of rehearsal is a

fact that consistently amazes me."

ultimate demise. Closer, the guillotine looms

large, closer, closer. N o w your head lays on

"There will be s o m e people that will get a

Accord ing to Steven Ward, wind symphony

conductor, the concert will be rather short and

someth ing fun to c o m e to in be tween trick-

or-treating.

" D r e a m s of a Psychopa th" is a musical

r e p r e s e n t a t i o n of a p s y c h o t i c m a n w h o

temporar i ly rega ins h i s sanity, on ly to go

insane once again. Ward commented that the

mus ic makes use of some very intr iguing

devices , such as a section where the entire

ensemble improvises in order to represent the

comple te chaos of the man ' s psyche.

Concer tgoers will have the chance to hear

Dimnen t Chape l ' s very large Skinner organ.

Organis t Heidi Dykema will be pe r fo rming

Max Reger ' s "Toccata in D minor" which

she descr ibes as a "wi ld" piece.

"Th i s is an incredible organ w e have here

something scary, and this organ definitely has

the resources . "

The Social Activities Commit tee

According to Student Director

Sara B u m s ( '05), " (SAC's purpose)

is to provide weekly entertainment

for the students of Hope. We try to

cater to a variety of students and

plan a good deal of events on cam-

Some of these events are held on

a weekly basis, including Some-

Last year, S A C was awarded for

its hard work and recent improve-

ments when it won the prestigious

"Number One Regional Program-

convention of the National Associa-

T h e application process for this

award involved the preparation of

a 35-page document highlighting

all of the commi t t ee ' s activit ies,

along with a presentation to a panel

of judges by several students.

S A C ' s s logan is "Good Clean

this for all of Hope ' s students. In

order to do this, the committee must

have money to work with.

Like all other student organiza-

tions that are funded with money

f rom the Student Activity Fee (a

part of every Hope student 's tu-

ition), SAC submits a detailed,

student-prepared budget to the

Student C o n g r e s s Appropr i a -

tions Commit tee every spring.

Unlike every other student or-

ganization that completed this

p r o c e s s last sp r ing , S A C re-

ceived $ 1 23,700 of the $350,000

available. This amount was as

much as the combined total of

the next f ive largest student orga-

Awad agreed that S A C ' s budget

is appropriate. "We make do with

bring in good groups.

For example. Recycled Percus-

took $1 ,100 to rent the Tues ink

Because of all the money SAC

receives f rom the activity fee. all

the events it sponsors cost little or

Let 's Talk About... Politics Part 2'.Liberal viewpoints at Hope

I N T F O C U S

Katie Taylor SENIOR STAFF REPORTER

While last week 's article outlined

the political views of the conserva-

tive side, it is now time to focus on

those of the liberals. From this No-

vember, voters will have exactly

one year until it is t ime to vote for

president, and having adequate in-

formation about both parties is key

to making an informed decision.

O n e of the m a j o r i s sues tha t

D e m o c r a t s have with Pres ident

Bush is the sluggish economy. Julie

Wilcox, co-student leader of the

Hope Democrats, feels this concern

pertains direcdy to college students.

She realizes that upon graduation,

many people will be competing for

j o b s not only wi th o the r recen t

graduates but also with middle-

aged professionals who were laid

off from their previous jobs due to

the bad economy.

"I t 'd be nice if we knew there

was some kind of social program

in place to help support us as we

hun t f o r a j o b , b u t t h o s e w e r e

slashed in order to provide Ameri-

cans wi th the recen t lax cu t s , "

Wi lcox said. " T h e major i ty of

those cu ts went to. the weal thy,

which doesn ' t seem to have helped

the economy."

As a Democrat , Wilcox also said

she believes there are other areas

in which Bush has failed to do his

job effectively. One of these con-

c e r n s is the e n v i r o n m e n t . T h e

l ibe ra l ' s list of B u s h ' s o f f e n s e s

against the environment includes

pulling out of the Kyoto Protocol,

pulling back clean-air and clean-

water standards, working to open

the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge

to drilling, and making it easier for

companies and factories to pollute.

Another area is education; pub-

lic, inner-city schools in particular.

In the liberal opinion. Bush is con-

tributing not to such schools ' im-

provement but to their demise.

In last week ' s article, the Repub-

licans praised Bush 's No Child Left

Behind education program. How-

ever, Wilcox said she believes he

has under-funded the program and

also done his best to undercut the

popular preschool program Head

Start. "While I'll concede that, aside

f rom his Head Start debacle. Presi-

dent Bush has not done anything to

severely damage education, he cer-

tainly hasn ' t helped it. Perhaps if

h e p u t $ 8 7 b i l l i o n i n t o p u b l i c

schools rather than into a preemp-

tive war, w e ' d be able to m a k e

some progress," Wilcox said.

It is clear from that comment that

Wilcox, along with most liberals,

does not support Bush 's actions in

Iraq. She feels the war has had

many negat ive consequences on

our country. First of all, U.S. oc-

cupation in Iraq is a huge financial

burden, costing an estimated $4 bil-

lion a month. Wilcox noted that

Bush currently is appealing to the

United Nations for assistance but

is not finding many countries ready

and willing to offer help.

"As a result of this war, we have

lost all credibility with our former

allies and haven' t exactly endeared

ourselves to countries in the Middle

East by preemptively attacking one

of their nations," Wilcox stated.

However, many Democrats such

as Wilcox want to make it clear that

t h e y d i d n ' t s u p p o r t S a d d a m

Hussein 's rule in any way. In fact ,

they are glad he is gone. Yet Wilcox

noted that the genocide in Iraq was

actually occurring during the 1980s

and feels that was the time for war

based solely on human-rights con-

• cems. She also worries that the war

in Iraq has set a new foreign policy

doctrine for the

United States.

"Considering

h o w f u l l t h e

w o r l d i s o f

c r u e l d i c t a -

t o r s—many of

who are just as wmmmmmmm

v i c i o u s a s

H u s s e i n — o u r coun t ry could be

busy with wars for years to come."

W h i l e f e w d o u b t e d t h a t t h e

United States would prevail mili-

tarily, the fears of war skeptics ,

such as Wilcox, are coming true.

"We 've won the war, but we are

losing the peace," she said. "As a

whole, Americans don ' t like fight-

ing unnecessary wars, they don' t

like to alienate allies, and they don' t

l ike their t roops to be gone fo r

months at a time. They especially

don ' t like it when their troops start

dying—which they are, every day."

Many people want answers to

these casualties f rom Bush before

they reelect him. If answers are not

given, Wilcox is sure Bush will be

replaced. • The Hope Democrats are just as

busy as the Republicans are when

it comes to preparing for the 2004

campaign and making their beliefs

k n o w n . M e m b e r s of the H o p e

Dems plan to attend meetings with

U.S. Senator John Kerry, retired

General Wesley Clark, and former

Vermont Governor Howard Dean.

We've won the war but we are losing the peace.

—Julie Wilcox, co-student director

Hope Democrats

In the past, members have partici-

pated in voter-registration aware-

ness, door- to-door campaign ing ,

and phone-bank sessions. Wilcox

said they also hope to find events

in which members can meet one or

a few of the candidates. Yet once

the Democratic candidate is chosen,

they will throw all of their support

behind that candidate. Wilcox said she is confident that

sometime before the 2004 election

Americans are going to realize that

there are a lot of problems in this

country that are not being addressed

under the Bush administration. She

believes it is possible for a presi-

dent to protect his nation f rom out-

side threats while still addressing

the country 's domestic problems.

In W i l c o x ' s o p i n i o n . P res iden t

Bush has proven himself unable to

do this, and thus in November, the

people will elect a president who

can. One of the most important ways

H o p e s t uden t s can b e c o m e in -

brush up on their politics.

Editor's voice

Anyone but Bush Willi the race for President beginning around the nation, I

have been thinking about the upcoming election and what my

vote may be. Until recently. I did not believe that politics were important.

I did not vote in the last election, not because I thought that my

vote wouldn' t matter, but because I thought that the President

couldn't possibly screw everything up so bad that I would mind.

I was wrong. Since entering office in 2001, President Bush has proven

himself exactly the President that I thought could not exist. Throughout his term. Bush's attitude and actions have convinced

me that casting your vote is important, especially in the Presiden-

tial election. Even before Bush entered office, something shadowy was

suspected because of the situation in Florida. Bush and his

family, specifically his brother Jeb, the governor of Florida, have

been accused of stealing the election. I am not prepared to make a statement one way or the other, but there is some interesting

evidence against Bush. For example, hundreds of African-

American citizens were denied their voting rights on the day of

the election without reason. The next event that casts doubt in my mind is the war on

Iraq. The reasons that we should or should not have gone to war

have been gone over repeatedly, so I will not mention those here.

Instead, what I find to be more important are some of the

specifics that many people do not know. For example, oil giants

Bechtel and Halliburton, which both Bush and Cheney have significant ties to, were responsible for planning bombing runs at

the beginning of the war. After we declared ourselves victorious

in the war, the same oil companies were given the contract to

rebuild the Iraqi economy. In addition to this, many statements

made and his cabinet have proven to be false. Because of these events, and many more, I know only one

thing about my vote in the upcoming election: it will be for

anyone but Bush. My only fear is that the only viable candidate

to run against Bush will be a Democrat that comes out of the

primaries with a lack of campaign funds and the backing of only

half of his party. There are many other sources that have done much more

extensive research than I, and are not limited in their space to

print the results. I would strongly encourage you to look at the

very comprehensive report of the evidence presented at

www.thousandreasons.org, and make a decision for yourself on whether or not you want this person to run your country for

another four years.

Your voice

Student Congress is ready to address your concerns To the editor:

As we are in the midst of fall semester. Student Con-gress would like to make you aware of a few items.

In our experience, students have not been sure where-

to take their concerns and issues. We would like you all to know that there are class representatives as well

as residence representatives to take your concerns to.

A list of representatives is available on our website. After you talk to your representative. Student Con-

gress as a whole will address your concern.

We would also like to bring your attention to events

that Student Congress annually sponsors. We have a concert series and a speaker series. Last January, Stu-

dent Congress worked with SAC to bring Jars of Clay

to campus. For the speakers series we had a debate

over whether or not video games provoked violence

between the Rolling Stone's editor and a high profile

lawyer. A more recent achievement of Student Congress

was the installment of a computer kiosk by the Stu-

dent Union Desk. The computer is handicap acces-

sible and available for the entire Hope community to use. It is a great way to quickly check your e-mail or

KnowHope. Please feel free to contact your Student Congress

Representat ive with any concerns you may have

throughout the year.

Thank you for making Relay For Life a success To the editor:

First and foremost I would like

to extend my congratulations to

each and every person who

participated in the first annual

Hope College Relay For Life. We were able to raise over $35,000

that will go directly to the

American Cancer Society to help

fight cancer. Members of 34

teams took turns walking throughout the night, even

through the rain, to support this

cause. These people should be applauded on all of the effort they

put into this first time event here

at Hope. However, I felt recogni-

tion was lacking in some respects,

primarily, on knowhope. This event happened on Friday night

through Saturday morning. When

scrolling through knowhope on

Saturday afternoon there was no mention of Relay for Life. When I

looked on Sunday there was a

small section with a report of the

grand total of money raised and a

request to thank those involved. I

expected much more; I was very

disappointed that there were no

pictures present or elaboration on the event itself. I believe that the

students that participated in this

event deserve to be recognized

for everything they did to fight

this disease. I personally com-mend everyone that participated

on a job well done. I hope to see

you all back next year for another

fantastic night. —Lynn Cargill ('06)

Make campus-wide safety updates the norm To the editor:

I am writing to express my appreciation for Dean Frost 's campus-wide email that addressed the "suspi-

cious incidents" occurring on campus this week.

As the campus lockdown was instituted, I—and

apparently many other students—began hearing ru-mors of what scary events may have sparked the new

security measures. Dean Frost said that his email,

which gave the student body accurate information re-

garding the incidents, was in response to these rumors.

While I am thankful that the campus authorities de-cided to share this important information with the stu-

dent body, 1 wonder why such procedures are not more

often the norm at Hope College. For example, in the

previous lockdown this semester, students were given

little more information than to carry their access cards and to be wary of a college-age man in a blue jacket.

Although I understand that there are probably some

legal barriers that prohibit full disclosure of the cir-

cumstances, I think that the college could have been more informative in regards to what incidents had oc-

curred, and therefore how we may be more aware and

protective of our safety. As a 20-year-old woman who

often confidently walks alone around campus at night,

this information would have been quite useful to me. And as many of us have been taught, it is knowledge,

awareness, and preparation that are most effective in

reducing the risks of "suspicious incidents." The stu-dents depend on the campus authorities for the infor-

mation that makes such preparation possible. With-

out an accurate and reliable information source, a

breeding ground for rumors—and more suspicious

incidents—is formed. It is for these reasons that I am grateful for Dean

Frost 's campus-wide announcement. I simply hope

that it was not an exception to Hope College's policy on disclosing safety information to the students, but

rather that it set a precedent for the future. As Dean

Frost noted, "The safety of our campus is a responsi-

bility we all share. . . the conversation about the safety of the campus has been, and will continue to be. an

ongoing one." I hope this means that the conversa-

tion will continue to be two-sided, with the campus

authorities holding up their end of it. The students'

safely depends on it.

Hockey takes second in Indianapolis Calvin and Hope both go undefeated, cham-pionship cancelled

Andrew Borozan STAFF REPORTER

The Hope hockey team traveled d o w n to Ind ianapo l i s this past

weekend for a trying test in this

early hockey season. Teams from

Georgia, Florida, California. Indi-ana, Tennessee and Michigan gath-

ered at Fischer Forum to fight for

the rights of the Division Three

Showcase crown. The first trial for Hope came on

Friday from Florida Atlantic Uni-

versity. Florida Atlantic struck first

in the opening period, but Hope

mustered a comeback with con-

secutive goals spurred on by the inspiring play of Ken Cooke ( '06).

A n o t h e r goa l l a te by F l o r i d a

Atlantic led to a 2-2 tie.

"They were more of a ' bush-

l e a g u e ' t e a m . We shou ld have

beaten them," said de fenseman

Adam Folsom ( '07). Hope then took on a recognizable

foe in Middle Tennessee State on

Saturday morning. After beating them earlier this year 11-1 in Hol-

land, Hope was hoping to trounce

them again. Peter Rusche ( '05) led the charge with a hat trick, and the

p lay of A n d r e w R a d l e r ( ' 0 7 )

(known as The Junkyard Dog) ,

helped Hope topple Middle Tennes-

see State once again, 7-1. The Dutchmen then played Col-

lege of the Canyons, a small school

located just outside Los Angeles.

A s s i s t a n t c a p t a i n G e o r g e Dickinson ( '05) notched two goals

for the Dutchmen and the solid play

of Jordan Winfield ( '07) propelled

Hope to the 5-3 victory.

Hope won its bracket with a 2-0-

1 record, but since school rules pro-hibit play on Sunday, the proposed

c h a m p i o n s h i p g a m e b e t w e e n

Calvin and Hope was cancelled. Calvin was therefore declared the winner of the Showcase as they

went 3-0 in its bracket , leaving

Hope with the second place trophy.

"Overall , it was a good week-end," Folsom said. "It was a rough

start but we recovered and came

back and played well on Saturday. The team is heading in the right

direction." Hope hockey is looking forward

to this upcoming weekend in which two home games will be played

against Grand Valley State on Fri-

day and Lansing Community Col-

lege on Saturday. Both games are at 9 p.m. and will

be played at The Edge ice arena.

Hope hockey fans await the rest

of the season with the same excite-

ment and anticipation as Folsom. "We can beat any team if we just

play to our potential," said Folsom.

Both G V S U and Lansing won
