Pledging revamp nears final vote JODI MC FAR LAND cam pus beat editor The results of over 400 hours of interviews and extensive evaluation of the Greek pledging process will come to a vote before the Campus Life Board next Tuesday, with the fate of Greek organizations hanging in the balance. The finished product of hours of deliberation by the board's Ad-Hoc Committee, the Restruc- tured Pledging Program is now under delibera- tion by the full Board, and under scrutiny by all involved. But the Greek alumni who met with Dean of Students Richard frost Sunday and Monday night voiced concerns that it is difficult for those involved to speak up. "I think there's also a sense that the Greeks are hesitant to be questioning, because they know the seriousness of it, but they are kind of caught," Frost told the Campus Life Board at its meeting yesterday. ...There's a sense that the Greeks are hesitant to be questioning because they know the seriousness of it, but they are kind of caught. —Richard Frost, Dean of Students There are three possible outcomes for next week's vote: the proposal can be either approved unchanged, modified by the board and approved, or rejected. And according to Ad-Hoc Commit- tee chair Janet Andersen, if it is rejected, there will be no pledging this spring. Yet those in- volved in the proposal are hopeful that this will not be an issue. Vespers brightens season HEATHER BOSCH staff reporter It lakes a lot of effort to carry off a hallowed tradition. Over 200 student musicians brought the magic of Christmas to the fore this weekend, but their work in creating the powerful spirit of Vespers is just one part of the collective efforts that bring the yearly tradition to life. Behind the sparkling lights, scarlet poinset- tias, and heavenly music that is Christmas Ves- pers, there is an unseen presence that brings the whole act together — hard work. Choir, chorus and symphonette members start working on their pieces the first day of class. Mark Van Soest ('97), a chapel choir mem- ber, considers all the preparation worthwhile. Working 25 hours a week, he has found it some- what difficult to balance time between his job, studies, and the large time commitment of Ves- pers. "In the last two days I've gotten about five hours of sleep," he said. Yet the demands of preparation and the four-performance weekend of Vespers itself is pays for itself, he said. "It's worth it every year. Just to be able to participate in something like Vespers really makes every- thing worth it." Elizabeth Wesselink ('98), a violinist in the Symphonette and a participant in Vespers last year as a choir member, is also enthusiastic about the event. more VESPERS on 2 i commend all of you who worked on it," Board member and education professor Ron Wolthuis told the Board yesterday. "It's an enor- mous amount of work. It's an awesome task and a very fine document." In an effort to settle the proposal before stu- dents leave campus for winter break, the Board has accelerated its time frame. "The original proposal said that the Campus Life Board will try to make its decision by Dec. 31, and we are trying to have it done before stu- dents leave so that they might know what to ex- pect," said Board Chair Jim Allis, also a mem- ber of the Ad- Hoc Committee. This sense of urgency reveals itself in some word confusion in the proposal itself that the Board will need to iron out, according to Andersen. "A lot of work was done at the end, so I am under the assumption that there may be a num- ber of mistakes that need to be made clear," she more PLEDGING on 5 Trashed again • Damages are at their worst this year in first floor men's Kollen Hall, but residents "learn to step over the mess." JENN DORN staff reporter It looked like a tornado hit the men's first floor side of Kollen Hall as the chalky crumblings of 10 to 15 ceiling tiles lay smashed on the floor and ground into the teal carpeting this weekend. The tiles were destroyed sometime during the night last Friday. "We don't know who did this," said Tom Renner, director of Public Relations. "We do not even know if it was Hope students for sure." While officials are unsure of the identity of the culprits, other residents of the hall have less confusion. "It gets frustrating," said Brian Tucker ('98), first floor RA. "It's like vandalizing your own house. I don't see the point. I've tried to talk to the guys about it, but it hasn't stopped." The destroyed tiles will be replaced, costing the College an estimated $400. This is the third time this semester that such an incident has occurred in the hall. A similar incident happened when residents deposited a gift of approximately 70 ceiling tiles outside the door of one of the first floor RA's. The residents replaced those tiles themselves. Kollen received a complete makeover last year. The College funneled a cool $5 million into the renovation, which included fresh paint and carpet for rooms and hallways. Despite renovations, the vandalism did not let up. "We had to re-paint the first floor men's hall- way one month after it had been re-decorated. There was graffiti up and down the walls writ- ten in dry erase markers," said Lela Wilson, Kollen Hall custodial lead. The vandalism and destruction has been in- creasing this semester, Wilson said. She said that for the past two months, the vandalism and con- ditions of first floor Kollen have been at their worst all year. "All the partitions were taken out of the bath- room," Wilson said. "We clean toothpaste and shaving cream off the walls and carpet and we have to scrape it off the mirrors. There is food ground into the walls. We spent 45 minutes scrubbing writing off the walls and we are still not finished." The decor is not the only thing that has taken a beating in Kollen; the smoke detectors also get torn down on occasion. "It's a big safety hazard. Tearing down smoke detectors endangers the entire building," Wil- son said. The custodial staff was told by Resident Di- rector Ellen Awad and Dean Frost not to clean up the disarray. "We were told that if they want to live with the mess, to let them," said Wilson. "So when it gets bad, we just leave it. The students used to more KOLLEN on 2

T H E N E W T B E F O R E CHRISTMAS

Jim Riekse

I haven't had the good fortune

of late to be able to attack the

character and good sense of our

beloved Speaker of the House,

Newt Gingrich. Since I am headed

to Washington, D.C. next semes-

ter, to bask in his greatness on a

more intimate level, I thought I

would use my last column to en-

hance the myth of this great Geor-

gian. Since Christmas is quickly

approaching, / thought I would

express my sentiments in holiday

verse.

Twas the night be fo re Chris t -

mas and Congress w a s mute,

not a creature w a s stirring,

except for a Newt .

E v e r y o n e w a s s e n t

h o m e , t h e g o v e r n m e n t

c l o s e d . D i d tha t t o r t u r e

N e w t ' s d r e a m s ? N o , he

happily dozed.

They w o u l d n ' t re-

t u r n w i t h o u t a

b u d g e t dec i -

s i o n , bu t

N e w t w a s

not help-

ing, in his

heart w a s der is ion.

T h e " K i n g of the Land , " he

though t the na t ion had d u b b e d

h im, but on Air F o r c e O n e he

thought Clinton had snubbed h im.

So workers w e r e jobless f r o m

N e w York t o O t s e g o , b e c a u s e

Clinton had hurt Newt ' s sensi t ive

ego.

Newt laughed at his desk as

he cut spend ing galore, his favor-

ite targe: the old and the poor.

On C h r i s t m a s Eve, in fo rm

very rare. Newt squealed with glee

as he axed Medicare .

"The seniors can take it," said

a lobbyist g r o u p , "Le t them eat

bread at the ki tchen of s o u p . "

Educat ion and trees suf fered

much berat ing, "Smar t kids and

bi rds are so irr i tat ing."

Cu t t ing the sa f t ey net gave

Newt such a lift, that he dec ided

to cut other midd le c lass gi f ts .

He dressed up like Santa , a

c lever disguise , so that his iden-

tity, no one could surmise .

He h o p p e d in h i s s l e i g h ,

which w a s s tocked to the hilt, a

g i f t t h o s e n ice s tea l th b o m b e r

people had built .

O f f he f l e w , t h e o l '

Gingr inch , through the cold win-

ter air, to take things f r o m those

who had little to spare .

Down the ch imney he 'd slide

and then slink to the tree, stealing

the toys so the rich could buy brie.

T h e dolls and puppies , into

his bag were tossed, he stole some

suspender s that were wrapped for

Dean Frost .

He drank all the

egg nog, which made

him qui te silly, but

f o u n d tha t h i s

cheeks did not

get as chilly.

F r o m

r o o f t o p to

roof top, Newt

w e n t q u i c k e r

and q u i c k e r —

t h o u g h

K e n n e d y ' s

l o o k

awhi l e—his

b a g f u l l

with liquor.

He p u l l e d p r a n k s on t h e

Cl in ton ' s , this man w a s a stich, he

replaced Hil lary 's s tock ing with

one embro idered with "b i tch ."

When Newt ' s sleigh was full,

he returned to his house, s l ipped

into his night shirt s i lently as a

mouse .

He c rep t to h i s bed to get

needed s leep, thankfu l his w i fe

marr ied such a c reep .

B e t w e e n t h e r ich a n d t h e

poor, he will increase the gap, and

he now sett led d o w n for a long

win te r ' s nap.

For those Newties whom I

have offended with this poem, /

apologize. Obviously, I don't be-

lieve that Newt would really steal

dolls and puppies from little chil-

dren. It is just that the premise fills

me with such glee, that if i toned

my words down, it just wouldn't

be me.

Merry Christmas!

Terminal A n x i e t y Crashing computers

leave students wired

JIM RIEKSE infocus editor

Pick any table in the Kletz and

ment ion compu te r s , and you are

besieged by tales of Mac lab mel-

ancholy.

A glitch in a save caused Peter

Poel ( ' 98 ) to lose hours of work , a

sys tem error s w a l l o w e d Mel inda

Tuinstra 's ( ' 98 ) five-page paper and

Paul Kurdziel ( ' 96 ) waited at C1T

for half an hour to get a quest ion

answered .

Their stories are not at all un-

c o m m o n , as Hope has seen a rise

of compu te r er rors and increased

usage , but C i T be l i eves that the

worst is over as they race to meet

demand .

Last Thu r sday , H o p e ' s VAX

system suffered a system error, un-

ceremoniously ending s tudents ' e-

mail sessions. T h e VAX, which a

layman might consider a phone line

to compute rs all over the world, al-

lows s tudents to communica te over

the Internet and access the World

Wide Web.

For tunate ly , the VAX rarely

c r a s h e s , a c c o r d i n g to C a r l

Heideman, head of CIT. Unfortu-

nately, Hope ' s file server, which is

m u c h m o r e i m p o r t a n t f o r t h e

C o l l e g e ' s c o m p u t i n g hea l th , has

seen more than its fair share of woes

lately.

T h e f i le s e rve r , whic l i runs

s u c h H o p e f a v o r i t e s as

WordPerfect , has been less than re-

liable this year. It crashed ten t imes

early in the semester and again for

an hour last Wednesday. T h e worst

ins tance w a s N o v e m b e r 7, w h e n

Hope labs were rendered inoperable

for over eight hours, the realization

of a procras t ina tor ' s wors t night-

mare. Not only were s tudents un-

able to use the computers , any th ing

they had not saved at the t ime of

the crash vanished be fo re their har-

ried eyes . Such fi le server crashes

a re " D e v a s t a t i n g , abso lu te ly the

w o r s t to l o s e , " a c c o r d i n g to

Heideman.

He ideman b lames

this year ' s influx of

p r o b l e m s o n a

n u m b e r of var i -

a b l e s . " W e ' v e

h a d h a r d w a r e

a n d s o f t w a r e

problems, but the

m a i n f a c t o r i s

tha t c o m p u t e r

u s a g e is d o u b l e t h e

rate f rom last year," Heideman said.

"We try to buy enough pe r fo rmance

to keep up with the d e m a n d , but

usage has increased at a nonl inear

rate. We knew it would go up, but

not this much . "

N e w compute rs that were sup-

posed to unburden compu te r stress

have actually added to the d i lemma.

"We replaced 6 2 pes with Pent iums,

but they arrived in late Augus t , so

w e ' v e been back logged . "

A l r e a d y b u r i e d in r e q u e s t s ,

C I T is a lso opera t ing short s ta f fed ,

especially lacking student s taf fers

to work the night sh i f t s in the c o m -

puter labs. "S tudents must be too

rich these days , because no one is

a p p l y i n g , "

H e i d e m a n

s a i d . " I ' v e

got m o n e y

to p a y if

a n y o n e is

interested."

T h e

Col lege has

e x p e r i -

e n c e d a

n u m b e r o f

compu te r thef t s , but they a re not

seen as a contributing factor to com-

puter p rob lems . " T h e thef ts w e r e

not a huge setback, more of an an -

noyance," He ideman said. "To m e

the worst thing is that the facul ty

lost all their da ta . "

The faculty are not fond of los-

ing their data either, or exper ienc-

ing a hassle to get to it. Many Hope

professors expect their p rog rams to

run smoothly and are upset by the

de lays and errors they encounter .

"They b r ing th ings in and ask if

3

t h e y ' l l r u n , "

H e i d e m a n s a i d .

"We respond that they will but there

will be problems. T h e facul ty say

that is o .k . until they actual ly expe-

rience the p rob lems ."

Many be l ieve that an easy so-

Staffers say goodbye The political junkie, the bilingual

chef and the melancholy poel. Together they have helped create one

of the most successful, well-respecled

newspapers ever to be published at Hope College.

One cracked open a story about di-lapidated college housing, another in-vestigated the medical risks of partici-pating in Pull, the third crafted a retro-clothing spread that made catalog edi-

tors at J. Crew weep. All in a week's work, thank you. For Jim Riekse, InFocus editor, Jodi

McFarland, CampusBeat editor and Sufjan Stevens, Intermission editor, col-

lege journalism isn't a hobby. I t ' s a

way of life. For the past year and a half editing

for The Anchor has meant scouting for

stories every day, every minute, cancel-ing plans at the panicked call of a staff reporter, working the red-eye shift Mon-

day and Tuesday night only to realize professors aren't all that overly appre-

ciative of the art of newspapering when

it means compromising their classes. It's no wonder we're going to miss

them next semester. Jim leaves us for the nation's capitol

where he p lans to intern for Pat Schroeder and attempt to inject the Dis-trict of Columbia with a dose of old-fashioned, big-hear ted l ibera l i sm. Though he says this is the end of his career at The Anchor, the self-pro-claimed somewhat-centrist admits he'll be tempted to return if we promise to provide him with a steady supply of day-old pizza and Coke.

Jodi, a double-major in both Com-

munication and Spanish, flies to Madrid this January, where she will study at the

Institute of European Studies. She 's signed on the dotted line and is in for

the long haul with The Anchor—and a career in print journalism. Be wailing to see her by-line again in the fall of

1996. Sufjan has decided to leave his posi-

Julie Blair

tion at The Anchor for that of Editor-in-Chief of Moxie, an independent Suf-

inspired weekly alternative art maga-zine featuring student fiction, poetry, features and even a sex-doctor page. But old loyalties hold strong. He says he'll freelance design concepts for us.

We here at The Anchor are going to mi s s them all, not only for their newspapering talents, but also as cher-

ished friends. There are those people who give

100% in life and those who give 120%. Jim Riekse, Jodi McFarland and Sufjan

Stevens are the latter. Thank you for your vision and dedi-

cation to quality college journalism. We

wish you all the best.

Student requests weekend hours for Kletz Dear Editor,

I realize the fact that due to the time factor and the various activities that you

are dealing with on a daily basis, you

have limited time on your agenda for petty matters. Therefore, I have only one thing that I would like to highlight

in this letter of complaint. On weekends, Hope College students

have limited space to socialize, because

the Kletz closes early or does not open

at all on Saturdays. I believe that this

cafeteria was built basically for students but the way it operates on weekends is

not acceptable at all to students. For in-stance, i f one wants to buy a pop or even

one slice of pizza on a Saturday, one has to go off campus. This leads me to wonder why is it that we have a cafete-

ria within our school boundaries at all, if it's not open when we need it.

Could you please try to negotiate

with the Kletz management to extend

the service hours to midnight daily ? I don't think midnight closure everyday

will cause any harm to any one; instead both the company and the students at

large will benefit. Thank you for your

attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

Lunga

Can Man'thanks Hope for fundraising help Dear Editor,

I'd like to take the time to thank those

of you who have helped make a honey-

moon to Jamaica a reality for Chris and me. Since the first semester of last year,

you have contributed approximately $1,400 towards the honeymoon to Ja-

maica. I 'm very thankful for your per-

sistence and generosity throughout the

past three semesters. The Lord has blessed me with an in-

credible woman, and it 's because of

Hope's students, faculty, and staff that the dream to go to Jamaica is now a re-

ality. We've been able to collect 6,000 pop cans this semester with only about

Govement loan quote questioned Dear Editor,

In the recent edition of The Anchor, my so called quote was in the section about student loans. I felt that the quote was not fair, because it didn't mean what I said at all. I was asked some

questions by a few people on The An-chor staff, and I answered them. I was

informed with information pertaining to the fact the low interest government

loans could possibly no longer be ob-tained by students. And this would

cause only the rich and those who could

afford it to be entitled to go to school. My quote said, "Loans have no affect on me, but I think loans should be easy

to gel because everyone should be en-litled to an education, not just the rich." This is sort of what I said, but the word-

ing makes me sound like a rich snob. I would never ever make a quote like this

one. Also, a small detail was missed in the beginning, I said qovemment loans

don't affect me. I happen to be fortu-

Poet gives admissions advice

Dear Editor, Once upon a midnight dreary, While we registered, weak and weary,

There came a hanging on the closed

board Quoth the registrar, "Nevermore!"

I have registered. I stood in line for

thirty minutes. I patiently changed my section numbers and watched while oth-ers struggled to find new classes. I took

everything in stride. I thanked the per-son from the registrar's office for their help, grabbed a cookie from the nicely

decorated table and went back to my room. Wait a second, something 's wrong here. This is Hope, right? The small (growing) four-year (more like five) Christian (debatable) liberal arts (I'll give you that) college? One of the main reasons I came here was for small

classes and a promise that I'd be out in four years because "we don't face the

registration problems of larger schools." And CORE classes are closing. Want a business or ed class for your major? I'd recommend an art class. Of course then

the art majors can't get the classes they want. It's a vicious circle. What a bad registrar's office. But wait, I would say that the registrar is doing a great job with the amount of students coming

through. WAKE UP ADMISSIONS! The

more people you let in, the more classes crowd, the more classes close. But, hey, who cares? We ' re get t ing another

18.000 dollars. I see two options in the future. One is double the college. I mean buildings, profs, living spaces and probably tuition. Or we could impose

a limit on the numbers that we let into the college. Oh no, anything but that. Don't DENY anyone admission, espe-cially if they're willing to shell out the big bucks. I think Admissions is in de-

1,000 cans to go during the next two

weeks. Thank you for all of your sup-port and prayers as I prepare to leave

Hope College and make a life long com-

mitment to Chris.

nate to have grandparents who are will-ing to help me out with college. By liv-ing at home, it works out so I don't have

to borrow from the government's loan system. Please be more careful next lime with details, and if you would, please make a note of this in the next

edition of The Anchor so everyone I know doesn't think I 'm a rich brat.

nial. Pretty soon I'll be taking "English

for Non-Nalive Speakers," because it'll be the only one open. The college needs to think about its priorities. Do Hope's students come first or do prestige and

money occupy the first spot? In keep-ing with the Christian spirit of Hope College I would hope our administra-tors would choose the student over pres-

tige and money. If you build a college geared to the student, your prestige will

grow and grateful alumni will put money back into a college which gave them so much and cared for them. Does

Hope fit that bill? Once upon a midnight dreary While we studied weak and weary. Came a rappping at our doors.

Dear Editor, Much discussion and work has

been comple ted in the past f ew monlhs on the pledging proposal de-veloped by the Ad-Hoc committee and Campus Life Board. This pro-posal is lo be voted on Tuesday, De-cember 12. Upon reading the proposal and hearing the opinions of the Greek organizations at a meeting Sunday night, I am completely convinced that new pledging practices will begin if these ideas are enacted. The proposal has generated much support from the Greek community and the changes will be implemented into their pledg-ing programs if the proposal is put into action. But the question remains as to whether this proposal will pass.

Obvious and deliberate action has been taken lo ameliorate the concerns of the Campus Life Board. Twelve members of Hope's sororities and fra-ternities have spent the past two months considering, discussing, and

changing every questionable aspect of ihe pledging process. Members of the faculty have dedicated time in advis-ing and contributing to this committee. Each Greek organizalion also has a pledging committee working to create new programs to meet the standards generated by the proposal.

However, all this work will have been done in vain if the proposal is not passed next week. It has been suggested that a change in attitudes within the Greek system has not been sufficiently apparent. I believe that the revisions in this proposal will be effective in chang-ing past practices and perspectives. If the proposal is not put into action, how can it nbe determined if it or any other plan will accomplish the goal to reform pledging?

Greek organizations are very mean-ingful and valuable to their members. Fraternities and sororities are rooted in pride and tradition. Greek organizations are often perceived as being simply a

social institution. But a different story would be told by the thousands of alumni and students who have been a part of Greek life over the past 131 years. For many, Greek life has of-fered opportunities for lasting friend-ship, service and involvement on Hope's campus and in the surround-ing communily.

Many people don't realize the con-tributions made by these students and the enormous disappointment that will be felt by the loss of introducing new members into the organizations. We all hope that we will have the op-portunity to carry out our new pro-grams and continue our sororities and fraternities. All we need is the same trust and support from the Campus Life Board and faculty that we have in the proposal and our organizations. Sincerely, Jennifer Grieme ( '98 The Dorian Sorority

Throughout this process, mem-bers of our organization have been well informed via our Ad-Hoc rep-resentative. We find that the repre-sentation Greeks have in the process is integral lo the formulation of an equitable proposal.

Dear Editor, N

We, the m e m b e r s of the Emersonian Fraternity, are writing this letter in regards to the 1996 AD-HOC pledging proposal . Af ter monlhs of hard work, we believe the AD-HOC committee has come up with an outstanding proposal. We Emersonians are doing everything we can to comply wilh the proposal. We feel the proposed changes are very positive and will strengthen not only our pledging program, but our fraternity as a whole. We are ex-cited about the opporlunily to imple-ment this proposal into our pledg-ing program. Once again , the Emersonian Fraternity is in agree-ment wilh the A D - H O C committee's 1996 pledging proposal one hundred percent. Sincerely, The Emersonian Fraterni ty

Dear Editor, The actions of the Campus Life

Board regarding the nearly com-plete restructuring of pledging has caused our organization, as a group and as individuals, to seriously re-consider the methods and goals of our pledging program we have dis-covered that our same goals can be reached through different methods. The nature of our brotherhood does not rest on maltreatment; thus, we feel that any aspect of our initiation program containing such behavior is unnecessary for attaining our goals. We fully support the ad-hoc committee's proposal, and thank ev-eryone involved for the work they have done Matthew J . Fonts ( ,96) Corresponding Secretary Knickerbocker Society

Dear Editor, Speaking on behalf of the entire

Arcadian Fraternity, I would like to declare that we, as a proud organi-zation of Hope College, agree with all of the stipulations set forth in the ADHOC proposal and would like lo assist in any way possible lo further the betterment of this uni-versity and its Greek affiliates. With undivided consensus among this organizalion's members, we are prepared to work with any further proposals and/or recommendations that are set forth. As the Arcadian constitution states, "We will obey all established college regulations and enforce whatever others might be passed as a result of recognized democratic process." For many years. Arcadians have chanted this statement with pride. We are no dif-ferent and are willing lo do any-thing possible to continue our fine tradition. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Peter Liechty ('97) Arcadian Corresponding Secre-tary

Dear Editor, As representatives of the Greek or-

ganizations, Pan Hellenic Council and Inter Fraternity Council wish to ex-press the support of the Greek com-munity for the recommendations of the Ad Hoc Committee on pledging. If approved, we believe that the rec-ommended changes will make pledg-ing a more positive and gratifying experience for everyone involved. The suggested changes would make it pos-sible for the Greek organizations to implemeni the finest pledging pro-grams we have ever had.

In addition, we would like lo ac-knowledge and thank those who dedi-

cated their time and effort to such a laborious and momentous project. We are indebted to the faculty and admin-istration who look time and energy away from their families and classes and to the 12 students who sacrificed many hours for this effort. In particu-lar, we wish to recognize Professor Andersen and Professor All is for their commitment to this process. Because this was a joint effort of the faculty, administration and Greeks, we believe that this is the most effective compro-mise and the best possible proposal. Sincerely, IFC and Pan Hellenic Council

Dear Editor, After reviewing the new pledging

proposal that has been drawn up by the Ad Hoc Committee we feel it is reasonable and do support it. We will act in the best interests of the school and the proposal to make pledging run smoothly as possible. Sincerely, The Fraternal Society

Dear Editor, The Delta Phi Sorority is in sup-

porl of the Ad-Hoc Committee's pro-posal. We would like lo acknowl-edge and thank all those who have put a considerable amount of lime and effort towards this project. Sincerely, Otencia Ruiz, President Joy M. Black, Vice President The Delta Phi Sorority

Dear Editor, Much attention has been focused

lately on pledging activities and the Greek system in general. Representa-tives of each fraternity and sorority, along with faculty and administration members, were selected to serve on the Campus Life Board's ad hoc com-mittee lo revise pledging. Through many hours of hard work and dedica-tion, they have come up wilh a new pledging proposal to come before the Campus Life Board for review in com-ing days.

Over the past several monlhs, mem-bers of our organization have taken a hard look at pledging and have recog-nized the need for change. Internally, we have formed our own Pledging Re-vision Committee in order to more closely scrutinize events and make changes that will fit into the newly proposed guidelines. This committee

has been working diligently to reform our own pledging process.

We would like to lake this opportu-nity to voice our supporl for this pro-posal and our hope for its approval. It is in our opinion that the new pledg-ing guidelines effectively meet the goals of eliminating hazing at Hope College while still allowing the possi-bility of maintaining essenlial tradi-tional aspects pertaining lo each soror-ity and fraternity. Wc hope to see new ideas and great energy behind them, coming from all Greek participants, in the Spring of 1996.

Dear Editor, I am writing this article in regard

to the 1996 Ad-Hoc Commit tee Pledging Proposal. As a member of the Committee, I have witnessed many changes which have taken place during the restructuring pro-cess. The Committee was comprised of members of the faculty, adminis-tration, and students of the various Greek organizations. We all used our individual ideas and values to cre-ate an extrordinary proposal. The proposal not only restructures pledg-ing, but it also suggests a universal mGreek program. This proposal is a very positive one, and, if it is passed, I feel will tremendously strengthen the Greek community as a whole. For this reason, I back the proposal 100% and am excited to try it. Sincerely, Todd Hornsby ('98) G r e e k m e m b e r of t h e A d - H o c Committee

Dear Editor, We, the Sigma Iota Beta Sorority,

would like to express our sincere thanks for all the time and hard work that has been put into the restructur-ing of the pledging program by the Ad Hoc Committee. Our sororily is one hundred percent in support of the proposal that is being submitted to the Campus Life Board. Our hopes are high that they will back it as well.

The pledging process is a crucial part of our sorority, as it is to all of the other Greek organizations. We realize that there are some changes that must take place for this process lo continue, but are willing to accept the changes that this new proposal poses. Greek life has offered many opportunities at Hope College, and we would like to see Greek life con-tinue for all of the sororities and fra-ternities for many years to come. Sincerely, T h e Sigma Iota Beta Sorority

said. Allis said that he is hopeful about the

upcoming vote. "The Greeks have done a great deal

of work, and Ad Hoc Committee has as well," he said.

Greeks, who have been holding meetings as individual organizations and under the Pan Hel len ic and InterFralernal Councils since the final proposal was released Friday night, will have a chance to ask questions and dis-cuss the proposal at an open meeting hosted by the Campus Life Board to-morrow, Thursday, at 11 a.m. in the Herrick Room of the DeWitt Center.

Yet even if the proposal is voted in, it will still be subject to the College's system of checks and balances. It could be vetoed by President Jacobson or called for review by either the faculty or the Board of Directors.

"If the Campus Life Board votes it, then that policy takes effect, unless one of those other checks takes place," Allis said.

According to Allis, the proposal ad-dresses four major areas: defining haz-ing and spelling out the activities that count as hazing, developing a relation-ship statement that describes what the College expects from Greeks and vice versa, naming the parameters of a new pledging structure, and providing pro-visions on how the changes will be su-pervised, monitored and enforced.

According to the proposal, hazing includes, but is not limited to, "paddling in any form; creation of excessive fa-tigue; physical and psychologica l shocks; quests, treasure hunts, scaven-ger hunts, road trips or any other such activities; wearing apparel which is con-spicuous and not normally in good taste; engaging in public stunts; morally de-grading or humiliating games and ac-tivities; late work sessions which inter-fere wilh scholastic activities; branding; and the pouring of substances on the body."

This list was created after surveying hazing activity nationwide, and does not necessarily reflect offenses discovered during the interview process.

As a part of the changing guidelines, the length of lime for pledging will in-

crease from two weeks and three week-ends to three weeks and four weekends. Rationale for this lengthening is that it will work in conjunction wilh a de-crease in the number of hours per week allotted in the pledging program.

Pledging programs cannot exceed 25 hours per week, anumber reached after consulting a national study regarding the number of hours a student-athlete could have athletic practices and games before they became a detriment to their academic performance, and a study by the Frost Center that reviewed how Hope students spend their lime.

"Those studies are median hours, which means some people spend those hours and do wel l" Andersen said.

Each Greek organization must sub-mit for approval every year their pledg-ing program to Greek Coordinator Shelly Spencer and Anne Bakker-Gras, Director of Student Activities.

Other proposed changes on the docket include a flag warning system to rate the conduct of Greek organiza-tions. When an organization gets a red flag, it's crossed the line of what is ac-ceptable. Flags will stay on the frater-nity or sorority's record for a year, and will be considered when the organiza-tion seeks approval for its pledging pro-gram the next year.

The proposal also calls for the addi-tion of the position of student chaplain for each Greek organization.

Other proposed changes include a 2.5 GPA for the semester preceding serv-ing a term as an officer of the Greek organization.

"Prior to this there has been no GPA requirement to be an officer," Frost said. To remain active, members must have a 2.0 GPA. Fraternities and sororities with the highest GPA's will receive positive recognition from the College.

"It 's very easy to find the things that Greek organizations don' t do well," Wollhuis said. "We sometimes don't hear as much what they do do well."

The Campus Life Board will vote on the proposal at its Tuesday, Dec. 11, meeting, to be held at 4:30 p.m. in the Barber Room, Phelps Hall.

true mean ing ©f Chr i s tmas .

At the y o u n g age of ten, Christ-

mas w a s tak ing . Tak ing money.

Taking candies . Tak ing toys. Tak-

ing any th ing g iv ing to me.

E a c h C h r i s t m a s m i l l i o n s of

Amer icans take gif ts and forget to

give.

Sure they throw together a gift

at the last minu te or spend a huge

amount of money. But the t rue art

of g iv ing has been lost.

N o w , n i n e y e a r s l a t e r , t h e

Chr i s tmas season means so much

more to m e . Af te r the hust le of

Chr i s tmas is all about .

It 's a t ime to share. To love. And

to give .

In a society w h e r e Chr i s tmas is

extremely commercial ized and the

m o r e you s p e n d the m o r e you

love, people forget to give f rom

the heart.

G iv ing starts with the simplest

things. Longs hugs, warm kisses,

b r igh t s m i l e , and f r o m there is

g rows .

Instead of g iv ing a g i f t . Give

your t ime. Make someone dinner

or take a walk with them. Enjoy

just be ing with them.

At a t ime of year when famil ies

c o m e together and f r iends unite,

there a re people who don ' t have

the comfor t of a warm house or a

cane tights and Chris tmas tree neck-

ties, wh i l e paren ts sat on the edge

of their seats lest someone sl ip and

crack their head open .

A s the l ights d immed and the

music blasted, the c i rcus became a

quie t a u d i e n c e , e x c e p t i n g a f ew

excited squeals .

T h e age o ld s tory w a s pre-

sented with several new twists f rom

the original folktale , replacing the

Mouse King of old with a trium-

phant M a d a m e Mouser inks and in-

te rweaving a compl ica ted sub-plot

of a pr incess ' s fetish for nuts, and a

curse inflicted upon Drosselmeyer 's

nephew, Chris t ian.

T h e most wonderfu l part of the

production, however, w a s M a d a m e

Mouser inks and her clan of mice .

The cos tumes were larger-than-life,

and hilarious. The mice waddled on

s t age in gray, j igg ly m o u n d s be-

neath red, g lowing eyes.

T h e m o r e they m o v e d , the

more they j iggled. T h e more they

j iggled, the more infect ious laugh-

ter echoed in the audience.

Sure, the mice are supposed to

be villains, and they were , laugh-

ing devish ly at D r o s s e l m e y e r in

chains, but, as the toddler g iggl ing

a long with them in the second row

knew, sometimes the villians are the

most interesting.

It was sat isfying, of course , to^

not near as deliciously squishy.

ACK F o r most collcge f reshnwn, ihc end of

the Fall semester is the first experience

they will have with book buy-back at the

Bookstore. M a n y students come from

high schools where books were either

loaned free or rented for a small fee and

they have become accustomed to

returning all of their books at the end of

each semester . This is not the case in

college, where books are purchased

outright by the student and resale values

are determined by a variety of market

condit ions. F o r the uninitiated this can

sometimes be a rude realization.

What follows are some o f the typical

questions we get every year about book

buy-back with some answers that we

hope will increase your understanding of

how the system works.

W H A T IS B O O K B U Y - B A C K ? Book buy-back is an opportunity for

students to recover some of the money

they have spent for course books they do

not wish to keep in their personal

libraries. This process recycles books

f rom those wishing to sell to those

wishing to buy and allows the bookstore

to o f fe r used books as well as new ones.

Over half the tilles used ai Hope are

reused at some other lime, but with new

editions, changing titles and gaps

between the times a course is offered,

students can more likely expect to sell

back about 25% of their books at the

end of the term.

H O W D O E S BUY-BACK W O R K ?

During the last two weeks of the

spring and fall semesters a buy is held at

the bookstore. There are actually two

buys going on at the same

time. First the store buys

1books that are being used the following

semester at Hope at

A 55% of the purchase

price. The quantities

bought are sometimes limited by

projected class enrollments and the

number of books the store already has

on hand. The second buy is done

2for Follett College Book Co. of Chicago

and the prices paid are

^ their established

wholesale prices. In

general, these prices range between 10%

and 30% of the current selling price.

The bookstore does not encourage

students to sell books in this manner

unless there seems to be no indication

that the book will be used again at Hope.

W H Y W O N ' T T H E B O O K S T O R E

BUY A L L M Y B O O K S ?

In a given semester there are several

factors that can cause a book not to be

bought back at the 55% price offered by|

the bookstore. Some of them are: 1. The professor has not yet submitted

a book order. 2. The book is not being used the

following term ai Hope. It is a good

idea to try again at the next buy-back

before selling to the used book company.

3. The professor has changed books

because something better has become

available. The bookstore no longer!

needs the book but it may be bought for |

the used book company. Follett College Book Company lists

thousands of textbooks which they will

buy, but even they do not buy

everything. For example, novels and

religious titles are almost never listed.

Also, when a new edition appears the

old edition has no value even to the used

book company. There is never a guarantee that

textbooks purchased by students will be

used again by any instructor anywhere in

the country. Students should not buy

books with the expectation of reselling

every one - that happens in very few

cases. The real value of a book is

obtained by studying it carefully and if it

can be resold when no longer needed

then that is an extra bonus.

Hoopsters hit century mark in rout GLYN WILLIAMS staff reporter

Minor se tbacks are a big pari of

l i f e and an even b i g g e r par i of

sports .

After a s ingle loss, it is important

not to dwell on the momen ta ry s tep

nel.

T h e Hope Col lege m e n ' s bas-

With a ha l f t ime score of 50-28,

coach Glenn Van Wieren and his

Offsides

co rps of hoops t e r s a l w a y s felt in

control of the g a m e .

"At no point did I really think

that C o n c o r d i a w o u l d c o m e out

with the win," Van Wieren said, "i

think part of that comes with play-

ing at home and in front of the home

crowd. That gives you a sort of con-

f idence unmatched by anything."

S t a r t i n g po in t g u a r d Kevin

Brintnell ( ' 9 6 ) and o f f -guard Joel

Holstege ( ' 98 ) did an outs tanding

job on defense, smother ing the Cou-

bench for the Dutchmen. Adding 12

points ap iece were Holstege, Kris

and Jason VanderWoude ( ' 9 7 ) .

" O u r scor ing has been very bal-

anced and nice off the bench ," Van

Wieren said. "The methodical ex-

ecut ion of our defense has led to a

far bet ter o f fense . T h e s teals and

blocked shots has led to fast b reaks

and easy points ."

Eleven Hope players scored a

basket, and every Dutchmen riding

the pine played at least 14 minutes .

" S o m e of that had to do with the

large margin of victory," said Van

Wieren. "But all season long I have

been work ing it around, mix ing up

the p layers and a l lowing a lot of

players to have s o m e play t ime. We

have a lot of depth and I intend to

take advantage of that. Every player
