Hourly hike will benefit some, not all, students

by Sharon Roebuck features editor

^April 1, 1991 marks the first day for the increase of the minimum wage rate. Instead of the $3.80 per hour that students received upon starting an on campus job , the beginning rate is now $4.25.

"It makes me feel good that we're getting a decent student wage," said Jane Holman of the Physical Education department in the Dow Center.

But, "It wouldn't make much of a difference because money is taken out for taxes anyway," Nienhuis added

Can the situation be remedied? Like any real world situation, Hope has a limited budget. "We can't increase the budget because we haven't been given the money," said director of Human Resources, Bruce Himebaugh.

• Himebaugh explained that the Student Employment budget is a mixture of Hope dollars and federal

'We can't Increase the budget because we haven't been given the money.'

-Bruce Hlmbaugh

Students Christina Rutgers ('93) and Jennifer Kapusinski ('92) agree because, as Kapusinski said, the increase will only benefit them since they weren't being paid above the minimum old rate anyway.

But there may be some students who are disgruntled and feel that there is a disadvantage to the increase. The disadvantage is similar to that of any job in the "real working world" where an increase in the minimum wage may mean new employees earning the equivalent of what their experienced counterparts earn.

Students who were being paid above the previous $3.80 wage will now be paid the exact amount of $4.25 without any further raises, at least not the first year.

Jodi Nienhuis ('93) and Jason Everts ('93), both agree that the above situation is not a fair one.

subsidies that the school applies for each year to pay for campus work

study hours. The budget amounts to $ 1,200,00, $200,00 comes from the government and the $1 million from Hope.

"If that (subsidy) didn't come in there would be less money for student employment ," he said. Students on campus work-study can receive up to $500.00 per semester which is paid by the government according to their needs.

Any money made over their awarded amount is paid by Hope. H u m a n R e s o u r c e s allocates the money from the Student Employment budget to each department and monitors the expenditures each year.

WTHS raises nearly $1,300 by Scott A. Kaukonen news editor

In an effort to raise money to meet its budget, WTHS-FM (89.9), the Hope College radio station, held a radiothon this past week. The station managed to raise $1282 .46 , su rpas s ing the expectations of station general manager Martha Brandt and business manager Heidi Short.

"We were trying to raise money from listeners we don't normally get money from," said Brandt. "It works well at other stations, and it's a good way to learn who our listeners are."

According to its Student Congress-appropriated budget, WTHS must raise $5000 through underwriting and fund-raising to help fund itself. According to Short, WTHS is roughly halfway to its requirement.

"We should come out into the clear when it all balances out (at the end of the year)," said Short 1 "We're saving money in other areas and we won't be on the air this summer."

Beginning at 4 p.m. Monday, DJs went on the air, asking for pledges and awarded premiums to listeners based on the amount of money they pledged. All premiums were donated to the station.

A pledge of $5 or more could earn a CD or cassette single, EP, or even full-length album. A $30 pledge was worth a lawn-raking by WTHS staff. Fifty dollars earned the donor a guest DJ spot with their favorite WTHS DJ. The station also gave away pizzas, movie tickets and dinners including one with Brandt and station advisor Reed Brown.

The highest pledge won two

tickets to the Jane 's Addiction

concert at Wings* Stadium in Kalamazoo, May 10. According to Brandt, a 50 year-old housewife, "who loves WTHS." won the pledge battle and the tickets with a pledge of $106, securing the win by $1.

The radiothon also included a live broadcast from Phelps cafeteria and a dance Friday night

"We had a really good response from the community. They were saying they're really going to hate not having us on the air during the summer," said Short.

According to Brandt, about 75 percent of the pledges came from community members, while about 25 percent came from Hope students. Short noted that the donations from the community were generally lai^er. * M

Mid-East peace mediator presents Muste Lecture by Jill Sandor staff writer

Daniel Padnos, a peace mediator in the Middle East, spoke last week

for Hope's annual Musto lecture. A J . Muste was a Hope student and anchor editor who became a peace activist. The Muste^ Memorial Committee was formed to present an annual lecture in his honor.

Padnos. a native of Holland Michigan, emigrated to Israel am graduated from Haifa University. He currently woilcs with the Israeli peace movement towards a solution to the Arab-Israeli dispute.

Padnos became involved in the peace movement when he first came to Israel in 1976. Raised in the Reformed Jewish tradition and committed to ideals of social justice, Padnos was struck by the inferior economic standing of the Palestinians in Israel. So he joined an association of Jews and Arabs to deal with the situation and encourage equality between the two groups.

The Palestinian population consists of three main groups, there are 700,000 "Israeli Arabs'XPalestinians who have Israeli citizenship). About one and a half million Palestinians live in the Israeli occupied territories.

Thousands of others remain scattered throughout the Middle East and the world as a result of the Palestinian Diaspora. Although

Palestinians in Israel are well-educated, they maintain a low economic status and are subject to discriminatory practices.

The "peace movement" refers to several organizations of Jews and Palestinians that work toward various common goals related to resolving the Arab-Israeli conflict.

'When the Intaffada began, it became clear to every par t of the p e a c e movement that occupation and peace cannot go together . '

-Daniel Padnos

•

"The ultimate goal of the peace

movement is a peaceful solution of the Arab-Israeli dispute through an end to occupation in the territories and towards an establishment of a Palestinian state,"Padnos said.

He also emphasized the goal of mutual recognition of the Israeli government and the PLO. He s t ressed" . . .a wil l ingness to recognize others without resorting to terrorism, sovereignty over territory and allowing them, the Palestinians, to live with a

modicum of national pride and security.*'

Padnos said that the peace movemen t con ta in s many Communists, liberals and people with a Marxist or socialist background. "This, the left, is a very important part of the peace movement," he said.

communism in Europe, Padnos said that the dominant element in the peace movement today is the group, "Peace Now".

This is an organization of Zionist Jews that works to end Israeli occupation in the territories Padnos said it is the largest and most influential group in the Israeli peace movement. "It, Peace Now, is the only movement that can amass move than 10,000 people in

a single demonstration," he said.

'This, the left, Is a very Important part of the peace movement.'

-Padnos

He also said that the peace movement had always contained much more political than religious involvement and that religious participation was' needed in order to help change attitudes.

"Our peace movement has always been, in this sense, crippled." With the decline of leftist influence in Israel since the fall of

He also mentioned the women's movement as an important element in the peace process. Padnos talked about several important de-velopments that have occurred recently in the peace movement.

First he mentioned the creation of an amendment to the "Anti-terrorism Act," which had made it illegal for Israelis to meet with representatives of the PLO.

He also said that the Intafada - the Palestinian uprising in the occupied territories - demonstrated

the urgency of the need t o e n d occupation of the t e r r i t o r i e s . "When the Intafada b e g a n , ii became clear to every p a r t o f (he peace movement that o c c u p a t i o n and peace cannot g o t o g e t h e r . I i is the Palestinian people t h e m s e l v e s who said so."

Another extremely i m p o r t a n t development, Padnos said, w a s the

P L O recognition of Israel's right to exist. This act united P e a c e N o w with the leftist elements and h e l p e d establish the P L O as the legi t i m a t e representative of the P a l e s t i n i a n people.

However, Padnos said thai t h e PLO was weakened by "embracing"

Saddam Hussein in the war, c a l l i n g this act "tragic". He said tha t Western governments were p a r t l y to

blame for weakening the " p o s i t i v e elements" of the PLO.

"I believe it w a s t h e l a c k . o f response of the I s r a e l i g o v e r n m e n t and the U.S. to recognize c h a n g e s in PLO policy, and not r e i n f o r c i n g the leadership that brought a b o u t such chnge, which weakened p e a c e elements in the PLO s o t h e o n l y thing they could do w a s to e m b r a c e Saddam Hussein."

Palestinian offers solutions for peace in the Mid-East by Jill Sandor staff writer

Kamal Abdul Fatah spoke last week in a lecture entitled, "Prospects for Peace:' A Palestnian Perspective." He talked about the present situation in the Israeli occupied territories and the prospects for peace in the post war Middle East

Fatah, a native Palestinian, is a professor of geography at Birzeit University ( a Palestinian-Arab University), and has taught on the Great Lakes Jerusalem Program.

Currently he is a visiting professor at Villanova University in the Arab Islamic Institute. Fatah began the lecture by noting that the recent war was the first American-Arab war and that he hopes it will be the last

He feels that the war was "unjust and unnecessary." "I myself

don't think at any time that President Bush was waging a war against Saddam Hussein for moral

^ rcasons lwlhe aim .of the administration being' Tulfilled,

(access to cheap oil), all other tilings are unimportant."

He also added, "The bombing was not done against Saddam Hussein. It was done against innocent people in Baghdad."

Fatah pointed out that before

the war the Bush administration publicized the atrocities committed against the Kurds by Saddam Hussein

'The bombing was done against Innocent people In Bagdad. '

-Kamal Abdul Fatah

Bush used this as an excuse to portray Hussein as a vicious tyrant and to wage war against Iraq. Now, however, the administration refuses to intervene militarily to help the Kurds; Fatah believes this is because the U . S . fears Iran having too much power if Iraq fell to the rebels.

There will be many new developments in the Middle East

region as a result of the war, Fatah ,

said, for the first time, the U.S. officially allied itself with Allied powers against Arab nations.

Because of this and growing U.S. dependence on Middle East oil, there will be an increasing need for military protection of oil in this region.

"From now on, I don't think oil will flow from any part of the Middle East without military protection, be it Egyptian, Saudi, or American."

Fatah predicted that this would cost between 200 and 300 billion dol lars over the next 50 years. Another new pattern is Israel's growing reliance on Western military protection, as demonstrated in the war.

"Israel can no longer boast to be the protector of U.S. interests in the Middle East," he said. Fatah also predicted that the division among Arab nations caused by the war could result in a military alliance between Saudi Arabia, Syria, Egypt and the Gulf states. ,

This could lead to a possible

counter-alliance between Iran, Iraq and Jordan. He emphasized that in spite of hostility between Iran and Iraq's Sunni and Shi'ite Moslems, a common threat to Arab culture may draw these two nations closer together.

Fatah believes that in the future, both Iran and Iraq will pursue a policy of pan-Arabism rather than nationalism.

'From now on, I don't think oil will flow from any part of the Middle East without military protection.'

-Fatah

Fatah spoke extensively about the plight of Palestinians living under occupation in the Israeli occupied territories. Fatah himself has lived in the territories since 1967, when Israel occupied the West Bank, Gaza Strip and the Golan Heights.

^ Mpfe thaa 50 .perqept of the land in the West Bank and Ga?a has. j

been confiscated for Israeli development, he said.

Palestinians living in t h e occupied territories have f e w political rights. "Palestinians a r e not given self-determination.Under occupation we have no right

whatsoever to municipal elections." In edition, thousands o f

Palestinians have been jailed a n d many houses demolished under t h e

occupation; Palestinians a l s o remain under a government-imposed curfew. In December 1987, a l l

educational institutions in t h e occupied territories were closed

down by the Israeli government. Gradual ly schools have

reopened, but universities are still closed. Birzeit University, where Fatah taught until 1987, remains closed. Fatah be l ieves that Secretary of State Baker's trip to the region was only a "lip service" by the U.S. government, and expresses cynicism over the administration s willingness to handle the problem.

Unusual coalition battles for free speech (CPS) — Students could win the right to challenge campus rules prohibiting them from insulting their classmates if Congress approves a bill introduced in mid-March.

Hundreds of campuses began banning "fighting words," T-shirts, posters and other forms of expression that could insult women,

gays, minorities and even military veterans about two years ago, in response to growing frustrations with some collegians' sexism and racism.

But such rules, some critics charge, have made campuses into the only places in the U.S. where residents can be punished for uttering unauthorized thoughts.

In a strange alliance with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), conservative Rep. Henry Hyde, R-Ill., proposed legislation March 12 to empower students at private colleges to fight speech codes that ban ethnic or racial slurs.

'This is the first reaction to the political correctness movement on campus ," observed Sheldon Steinbach, of the American Council on Education, a Washington, D.C. umbrella group for college presidents.

The Co l l eg ia t e Speech Protection Act would permit private campus students to challenge in federal court school rules punishing so-called hate speech.

The bill, which would amend the civil Rights Act of 1964, exempts campuses controlled by religious groups.

Public college students already have the right to sue their schools over speech codes, and can reap damages.

He introduced the bill just weeks af ter private Brown University expelled student Douglas Hann for shouting slurs about black, gay and Jewish people while s t agger ing around campus intoxicated one night last October.

The F i r s t A m e n d m e n t guarantees "freedom for the speech you hate," Hyde said at a news conference.

His bill, he added, intends to "prevent you from getting kicked out of school if you said soiiicthing' unpopular or that o f fends somebody."

Codes of conduct are "a politically and cheap quick fix," concurred ACLU President Nadine Strossen, who joined Hyde at the press conference.

While troubled by campus hatred; Strossen called speech codes "a misguided, ineffective, as well as unprincipled and unconstitutional way to deal with the real problems of racism, sexism and other forms of bias."

The courts would rule on the students' legal claims on a case-by-case basis, Hyde stressed, according to free speech precedents that allow curbs on obscenity, fighting words, libel and other abusive behavior.

establish previous links with the peace movement, because of its actions in the war.

But he emphasized the importance of the PLO in bringing about a peace fu l so lu t ion to the conflict. "There cannot be peace in the Middle East without reconciliation between the Israelis and Palestinians. And there can be

no reconc i l i a t ion without recognition between the Israeli government and the PLO."'

Padnos said the key to solving the conflict was to get the U.S. and it5 allies to pressure Israel to end occupation of the territories so that peace can be established. "If we, Israel abide by the resolutions,UN

resolutions 242 and 338, there can be a peace process. If that happens, I will shed no tears over the war."

Padnos shared various personal experiences of his years in the peace movement , such as being wiretapped by the Israeli government for his activities. He

also once went to jail for refusing to serve militarily in the occupied

territories. He said the most moving experience he had has when

Peace Now and Palestinian representatives look part in a joint

demonstrat ion by encircling Jerusalem holding hands.

Wage Continued from P. 1

"It's not something that the college did not anticipate," he continued.

The potential problems arising from the minimum wage increase had been foreseen but because the Student Employment budget is fixed and the school has to stay within the budget, the problems have to be worked out within the limits.

Essential ly, the decision making has to be made by the different departments who hire the students. According to Himebaugh, the departments are not told whether or not they should increase everyone's pay to the same amount and/or hire less people.

It is simply up to the department. The departments must consider set guidelines concerning student employment, like giving first-priority to students who need work as a part of their financial aid

package. Departments are affected

j • • »

differently by the minimum wage increase and so deal accordingly. The Van Wylen Library and the Food Service are two of the largest student employers and have made decisions that are rather similar.

Don Hershey, manager of Food Service, said that his students have never been paid minimum wage in

the last two years. They have been paid above it because of what the jobs entail.

Hershey said that it is hard to get students to work for minimum wage because of it. "We're not the most popular employers because of it," he said.

Colleen Conway of VanWylen hopes to pay all her students the designated $.45 raise whether they were below the $3.80 wage or above it. But at this point she can not promise regular increases in pay per semester because of it, at least not right away.

"We are doing our best without cutting the numbers of students we employ," she said.

As' for smaller' departments, * ' i'

such as Education , Biology, and Physical Education, the plan of action differs with each situation.

Jane Holman of Physical Education offers various jobs whose differences, she feels, should be reflected in the salary. For example, jobs that have special qualifications or requirements, like lifeguarding, are paid above the minimum and given a raise each semester.

Pat Conley-Briggs of the Education department mentioned that most of her students were jus beginning and all would benefit from the wage increase.

Lori Hertel of Biology says the

same except for the animal care employees who earn higher wages because of what their jobs entail.

All students will receive the increase, and will benefit because they did not earn more than the newly set amount in the first place. None of these departments have received complaints from students who think the minimum wage increase situation is unfair; ;

Hope student

receives scholarship

to Meiji Gakuin Univ. by Sharon Roebuck feature editor

Michael Boyle ('91) has always been interested in other cultures since high school -- especially Japan's. Now, as the recipient of

the 1991-92 full-tuition Meiji Gakuin University Scholarship, Boyle will experience Japanese culture firsthand.

Boyle applied for the scholarship when his Japanese language instructor. Professor Meho Jansen, informed him of it. Jansen felt that he had the qualifications to receive such a scholarship. And so he did. His application was chosen fromalong others by a selection committee made up of five professors.

Having taken two years of Japanese at Hope, Boyle felt that he had an advantage in the application process. "The writing is really hard, even the Japanese people have difficulty learning the writing systems," he said.

In mid-September, Boyle will travel to Yokohama, Japan which is 20 minutes from Tokyo by train. He will take a year of post-gradute studies like political science, history, literature, art, sociology and the Japanese language. 'Those are all things that I couldn't do here

at Hope," he said, referring to the Japanese studies. His courses will all be held in English except for the Japanese language course.

To learn the Japanese language and culture just by being there for a year is considered by

Boyle to be almost like graduate school. "I may not get a [doctorate] degree out of this," he said, "but I'll probably feel like I did." He will receive post-graduate credit which will most likely go towards his post-graduate degree.

As for Boyle's actual plans when he arrives in Yokohama, he will search for private tutoring jobs -a high demand in Japan. Since the cost of living in Japan is so high (Tokyo happens to be the city with the highest cost of living in the world), the $35-$40 per hour tutoring jobs should help him out with living expenses. When Boyle saw the amount that he could receive for being an English tutor, he had to double check with Neil Sobania, of International Education, to make sure the amount was correct and not a misprint. Sobania confirmed his query. "I

said. The housing in Japan, Boyle

said, is usually small and expensive. For example, a two to

three room apartment will cost $400-$500 a month. Cheap housing, in turn, is then two to three hours away from a person's work.

He went on to explain another problem in Japan, that of the high pressure on the society." The desire to succeed is very important," Boyle

said. There is pressure in work and school. Young children and teens attend a "Juku" school or 44cram" school at night after normal school hours. There they are,in a sense, prepping for an "SAT" that is ten

times harder than the actual SAT. These students want to do well on the actual test so that they may enter an excellent college and thenceforth, have better chances of being hired by a good company that will offer a high paying job.

Boyle has thought about remaining in Japan for about four to five years after his first year ends like the first Hope student to exchange, Jim Huffman, has. He hopes to teach English and to learn to speak Japanese better than he does now.

The Japanese in turn are, according to Boyle, desperate to learn English for busines and social connections with Americans. He has even heard that Americans are like celebrities in Japan and that the

Japanese will ask an American to speak aloud or will even ask for an autograph. And yet not enough

Americans make the same effort to try to appreciate the Japanese and their culture.

If the possibility arises that Boyle does not become an English teacher, he has thought of t ranslat ing for a business corporation or newspaper.

Even as Japan's Americanized cities would make Boyle feel at home there, he plans to travel around Japan and experience the traditional culture that is found in the country and farm areas.

Since he has met many

students, both Japanese and American at Hope who are already in Japan or plan to be there soon,

he won't feel "totally lost," he said. Hope and Meiji Gakuin are

sister schools that have maintained a student exchange program since 1965. Primarily, the program only

Several members of the fraternal fraternity have had the letters OKE tattooed on their ankles.

Andrew Shufelt ('93) said, "I knew it would be permanent. We talked about it and thought it would be a cool thing to do. I always wanted to get a tattoo. The Fraters mean a lot to me."

John Slack ('93) said, "1 will

not regret it one day down the road. OKE is something that is going to stick with me the rest of my life."

Darren Young ('91) does not have OKE tattooed on his ankle, but has a different tattoo. Young said, "I got a tattoo because I always wanted to. I liked it and wanted to be different. Its also dangerous. My parents still don't know about it."

Tim Cemy ('91) does not have a tattoo. Cerny said that some members decided to get tattoos because "they were all fired up about becoming actives. It's the spirit after pledging. They want to hold onto the bonding experience."

Shufelt said, "The tattoo is something to identify with. I will be part of the fraternity for the rest of my life. OKE are three letters that mean a lot to me."

The tattoos are on the inside of the ankle. Shufelt said, "I t ' s

permanent, that's why I pu t it on the inside of my ankle."

Stack said, "The ankle is o n e spot that if you want people to s ee it you can show it off or you d o n ' t have to."

Before getting a tattoo. S t a c k called the Health Department to find out about health risks associated

with tattoos. Stack said, ' T h e r e is some risk with tattoos. Hepatitis is one of them."

Stack said, "1 called the Hea l th Department and they outlined s o m e things to watch for. The m o s t important thing is to make s u r e the needle i s clean."

Shufelt said, "We watched the

guy do a tattoo and made sure it was the same way the H e a l t h Department recommended."

Stack said, "I was satisfied with what I s aw- That it was safe."

The tattoo was not required by the fraternity, but a choice made by individual members. Stock s a i d .

"There is no way they can r e q u i r e that or no way that they did."

Cerny said, "It was a l l voluntary. They were excited to d o it."

Shufelt said, "It's not the k ind of thing you have to do. It's not peer pressure."

Cerny decided not to gel a tattoo because he does not l i ke tattoos. It's not that the spirit of the fraternity is not there, but I jus t didn't want to."

around the country.

The party, known as Common

Sense, reportedly has played a role

in student government elections at

three different campuses in recent

weeks. "I've talked to students at

the Universi ty of Colorado at

Boulder and the University of

Wisconsin at Madison" who have

claimed there are Common Sense

parties being run by members of the

Col lege Republ icans on their

campuses , says Dan Slepian,

student government president at the

State University of New York at

Stony Brook.

The group, Slepian said, tried to

disqualify him from recent campus

elections by putting up trick posters

that violated school campaign rules.

At the University of Wisconsin,

the Common Sense party, which

had af ter numerous campaign

viola t ions dur ing last year 's

elections, reported Adam Young, a

Student Senate representative.

Student government officials at

the University of Colorado couldn't

confirm or deny the existence of a

C o m m o n S e n s e p a r t y

there. "It's my guess these are

local movements," replied Jason

Miko, executive director of the

Co l l ege Repub l i can nat ional

Committee in Washington, D.C.

"We're not making any effort to

form Common Sense parties," he

said. At Stony Brook, the controversy

started when a poster appeared %

?round campus that described ilie

Common Sense party as a "liberal

party" and "a political alternative to

the College Republicans" that

supported Slepian for president.

But then Common Sense Party campaign manager Ron Nehnng,

who also is president of Stony

Brook 's Col lege Republ icans

chapter, denied Common Sense

members produced the poster.

His denial implicitly suggested

Slepian himself produced the

posters, a step that would cost Slepian his job.

"How can we endorse (Slepian)

if we are running someone against

h im?" Nehr ing asked the

Statesman, Stony Brook's student

newspaper. Nehring denied

Common Sense had anything to do

with the posters.

But Slepian was not convinced.

"Someone's putting them out, and I

think it's them (Common Sense

p a r t y m e m b e r s ) , " S l e p i a n

said. "I think they're trying to

disqualify me," he said.

Various College Republican

groups in fact have been involved in

other" "dirty tricks" efforts to

subvert liberal candidates and groups

with which their members disagree.

In 1989, for example, the

College Republicans chapter at the

University of North Carolina at

Wilmington destroyed a campus

group headed by a leftist student by

sending 15 of its members to a

group meeting, taking advantage of

lax group voting rules and then

voting to remove the leftist from office.

T h e r e m a i n i n g C o l l e g e

group's money to the student

government. The group has

Editorial Editorial

Increase should reward returning workers

The reccnt increase in the minimum wage from $3.80 to $4.25 is

being met with mixed reactions. The increase raises student hourly

wages to $4.25» for first year students this is a $ .45 raise but for

those already above minimum there wages will only be increased to

the n^W level of minimum. This essentiallv means that first year students are now eamiri^the

same vnouDtaslbdents who have worked for the same department

for two or three years. Despite the difference in experience there will

be no difference in pay. These students have lost the benefits they

earned from returning to the same job each year. While it is understandable that the college has a limited budget to

pay student wages, some of the money set aside for these wages

through work study is provided by the federal government and not all

comes directly from the college. Not all students earn the maximum amount the school budgets for

them. This money goes to the college regardless of the amount

actually earned by the student. This seems to be a problem without an easy solution but just

paying fcvekyone $4.25 across the board does seem to be a just answer.

For those students who have lost $ .10 or $ .15 cents an hour it may

not seem like much, but it adds up. The other factor is the fact that

these students have been reduced to the level of incoming students

after several years on the job. The best thing that can be done is for each department to try and

find away to reward their student workers who have been employed by

that department for several years. If it is possible to find the resources

to continue to pay them above minimum this should be done. This problem won't go away next year either. The students

returning for a third or fourth year will be making the same amount as those returning for the second year. It may be too late to include such

raises in the budget for the next school year; but it needs to be done

for the 1992-93 school year.

Professor defends Coors' environmental record

Attitude toward rape outrages student

To the Editor, 1 would like to begin by

thanking you for printing "RAPE: a reality, a dilemma^ by Jennifer Heitman and to thank Ms. Heitman t

for writing it. Disclosure can be awfully painful for a survivor but

vital to others suffering the same

but silent pain. I applaud her courage.

After reading the article, I

commented to a co-worker that it was a quite powerful story. At one

point in the conversation she said to

me "But how could she let t ha t

happen twice?**. My insides sickened at the word "let Also, a two time survivor of sexual assault, 1 was outraged that people actually still blame the victim! So hurt that

I could not reply. What I write here is not to

shame my co-worker, but to open

our eyes to reality. No woman

allows herself to be raped. Rape is not a pleasurable form of sex but a degrading form of torturous|

violence. It strips you of

everything - hope, pride, security

and happiness are but a few. I, like many women, will never be able to

completely rid myself of the fear,

the nightmares or the shame. Do you not think that I along

with Ms. Heitman and countless

others have already blames ourselves

over and over for the first time?

And how much more the second!

Ms. Heitman surely did not ask for

these men to break into her house so she could relive her nightmare

again! Are we so foolish to believe anyone would?

Please hear me people! Educate yourself - open your eyes and your

heart enough to feel our pain. And

realize that rape is a l w a v s the responsibility of the rapist and not

the victim! Until we learn this, I have to wonder who is the worse

criminal: the man who inflicts the wound or those who won't allow it to heal.

Laura Jackson (493)

Dear Editor This letter is in response to

what I view as a misinformed attack

on the integrity of the Coors Brewing Company by the Hope

Environmental Coalition. My

credentials as a supporter of

environmental causes include many s

hours in defense of wilderness

preservation through leadership in

an active citizens organization of

over a thousand members. One of

our most active and effective members was hired at mid-career by

the Coors Company and serves as a

leader in the Sierra Club. It saddens me when the Hope

Environmental Coalition allows

itself to be used by a national group which uses information

which is misleading at best. I grew

up in Colorado and did not believe

that the information given about the Coors Brewery sounded right.

I called Coors and got accurate

information from the first person I

talked-with. Coors did dump toxic liquid vteste in the City of Denver

landfill as charged. However, it

was done from 1965-80 and was perfectly legal at the time. 249

other companies did the same thing

and had the permission of the

Colorado Department of Health.

Coors did less than 20% of the total

dumping involved and the dump is

not near Golden but rather 15 miles

southeast of Denver or 25 miles from the Golden Brewery. Coors

has helped study the site for cleanup.

1 next asked about the

company environmental record and was given some interesting

information. The aluminum can used throughout the industry was developed by Chairman Bill Coors

in the 1950,s when, as a young

engineer, he got liied of seeing his

family name on the side of

highways. Even the aluminum

industry would not support its

development. The Coors Brewery

alone spent the monev to perfect the can at a time when it was a

small regional brewery and has had a continuous recycling program

ever since. This obviously was

good for the environment and a good investment. Coors now has

the world's largest aluminum can

plant and recycles 102% of its output which is above the industry

average of 65%. Thus, Coors has

done on a large scale for decades

e x a c t l y what the Hope

Environmental Coalition has been

trying to do at Hope this year. No

other brewery can match their

record. That is an example of the

kind of determination characteristic of the family being put to a major

public good. In the same decade,

Coors built Colorado's first modem

sewage plant at a time when it was

not required and put the City of

Goldeo on it as well.

Tfiis makes me suspect that

the motive of the national organization has little to do with

the environment. The Hope group

is either misinformed or believes

liberal rhetoric such as that of some s y m p o s i u m s p e a k e r s that

conservatives and business do not care about the environment. What

seems to upset some people about

Coors is that it carries the name of

a family which has members with strong viewpoints and the integrity

to sometimes put citizenship ahead

of profits. At a time when many

corporate executives avoid taking

_• stands in the name of profits, its.

execut ives and workers a r e

encouraged to participate in b o t h

political parties. However, n o

member of the family has e v e r

funded the KKK, but in 1989 C o o r s

was named on of "The 50 B e s t

Places for Blacks to Work", b y

Black Enterprise Magazine. J o e

Coors did oppose the ERA. Bi l l

Coors supported it. S o m e

members of the family are s t r o n g

conservatives. They .also h a v e

some members who are nearer the

middle of the road, a few r e l a t i v e liberals, and one member w h o l e f t

the business for the ministry.

The national student g r o u p sa id

to be organizing the b o y c o t t

recently told Coors that there w a s

no boycott. Perhaps the H o p e

Environmental Coalitiort did n o t

even contact the national g r o u p let

this whole situation is that a n y

successful boycott of Coors w o u l d

benefit the Philip Morris T o b a c c o

Company which owns Miller, o n e

of Coors' two leading competitors,

which has 20% of the market.

To be sure, there are actions of

members of the family one c a n

disagree with and 1 disagree w i t h

some of what some of them h a v e

done in the past. However, o n t h e

whole, J view the family as one of

"Yup." "Al, don't you wonder about it

all, sometimes. Don't you want to

know what the point is ? Why did the Big Guy make squirrels? He made humans to worship Him.

Most of them don't. That's got to be a bummer for Him to see all these people that He wants to come alive choose to remain dead."

"But that's humans, what's it got to do with you?"

"Me? Me? What's it got to do with me? That's my point. God put me on this planet to grow, to live, to eat nuts, to raise a family and to be the best possible squirrel that He made me to be. But it's too

hard. Life is too hard." "Would you rather be a

human?"

"No, they got it worse. Always running around trying to get ahead. Blech. I'd rather be a squirrel."

'Then why are you up here?" "Because being a squirrel is hard

too. I know God created me to be a squirrel. He makes me the fullest squirrel that I can be. He took a zombie, added love, offered Himself as a sacrifice for me and made me a new creation. But He's asking too much of me. This life is too hard."

"Maybe that's the point." "Huh?" "Maybe the point is that this

life IS too hard. It's too hard even to find God and be a bom again squirrel. This could be why so many squirrels have found God in high school and then "grown up" and turned away from Him. God wants to be involved in every part of a squirrel's life."

'This is cliche." "Could be, but the Bible was

written about 2,000 years. Plenty of time to make cliches. Think of it this way, Fred, God says a

squirrel's body is the temple of God"

"S ure, and 1 should quit smoking."

"Don't limit the temple idea to good health. Just as God is everywhere in His temple he wants to be everywhere in your life. He knows this world is hard. And it's harder when you choose him, and find yourself living against the grain of the culture. He wants to not only knock on your temple door and come in, but take over it. To make decisions with you about what type of lunch to eat and which comic book to read in the bathroom."

"Why would He care about those things?"

"He says he has counted the hairs on yoiir head. If he took that kind of time out of his busy schedule, He must care about the little things in our lives that make life seem like warm jello."

"I don't know if I have that kind of faith. I'm no supersquirrel."

"No, Fred, but we're like Jonah. Even as we sink beneath the waves, Jesus, our whale, wants to swallow us and take us where He wants us to go."

It saddens me to see a Hope College group take up the sport of Coors-bashing just when it is going pacts with Black and Hispanic groups and settled a boycott with the AFL-CIO. .

debate these issues with me, I will be glad to do so.

I do not want to be in the position of urging students to drink beer. Rather, I want to defend the

integrity of a company and family against unfair attack. I have not stock in the company or relationship to the family. If one chooses to drink beer, it would seem to me that one should make a rational choice on the basis of taste and product quality and then drink legally and in moderation.

Zambian choir sings spirituais HOLLAND - The Munda

International Choir of Lilanda, the touring choral ensemble from Lusaka, Zambia, will present a concert of traditional African church music at Hope College on Monday, April 15.

The concert will be in Dimnent Memorial Chapel at 8 p.m. The public is invited, and admission is free.

Accompanied by authentic African instruments, such as the drum, rattles, African guitar and the 4'10 -stringed-instrument" meaning the clapping of hands --the choir performs in the two major

languages of Zambia: Bemba, spoken in the northern province, and Nyanja, spoken in the eastern province.

The pieces are based largely on scripture passages which the choir improvises into songs, changing the rhythm until they are satisfies with the result. Many of the songs have become standardized and are printed in hymn books, but improvisation remains an important dimension of the choral performance.

Song titles include "Alleldia Jesu Mbuye Wathu" (Nyanja), or "In Jesus, we have peace, alleluia;"

"Tukayalanda Shani" (Bemba), or "How to Come into the Presence of God;" and "Myrani Za Mauotere Omwe" (Nyanja), or "Events on the Road to Emmaus."

The Munda International Choir is making its first appearance in the United States and Canada under the direction of Godfrey Zimbili. The 24- voice choir consists of 14 men and 10 women, ranging in age from 17 to 27. They are performing under the auspices of the Reformed Church in Zambia, and their tour will be under the sponsorship of the Rev. Dr. Foston D. Sakala, president of Justo Mwale

Sisters of Mercy delivers new age rock (CPS)-Stare, for a moment, into the fire, look past the flames, to the embers burning ever so b r igh t ly , p e r f o r m i n g the mesmerizing final dance of their short lives as they turn and soar toward their infinite sleep, burning ever toward darkness.

That's the dark, somber sound of The Sisters of Mercy.v With the release of "Vision Thing," the band's third album. The Sisters is building upon a cult status that has elevated vocalist Andrew Eldritch, his work, and his offstage antics to near-mythical proportions.

Eldritch, who has a deep, growling, tortured vocal style, is the brains behind The Sisters of Mercy, as well as its founder, songwriter and constant focal point.

He started it all in 1980 in Leeds, England, "there was a gap , " E l d r i t c h e x p l a i n s "Everybody in London, which is where the whole Endritch music industry is, was promoting at the time, very much like they are today, in fact, a rather hideous blend of cocktail and disco music.

"Nobody I knew up in Northern England could relate to that," he remembers. "We had our own different thing going.

"So Eldritch, along with original guitarist Gary Marx, formed The Sisters of Mercy. "We had a fuzz bass, a very cheap drum machine, and I used to shout a lot through an echo machine," he recalled.

"People really got off on it." A few months later, "Damage Done," the sister's first single, was released on their own Merciful

'ease label, tblnstant acceptance. "We spent the following 10 > trying to keep as much of

that as possible," says Eldritch of the early sound, "while fitting it into song at the same time, which is not easy."

Eldritch originally got into music, he says, "because it seemed the natural thing to do if you were a punk rocker. Everybody was in a band then, someone asked me to play on their record, so I did and it just kind of grew from there.

"A handful of singles and live performances won the Sisters a small, though loyal European following, prompting Warner Brothers to offer the band worldwide distribution of the band's records in 1984.

The spring of 1985 saw the release of the self-titled Sister' debut album, which jumped immediately into the U.K. Top 20 album chart, yielding a number of hit singles in the process.

It wouldn't be until two and a half years later, with the 1987

release of the single "This Corrosion," that the sisters would become known stateside.

The alternative music scene happily embraced "The Sisters of Mercy," the album release that followed.

The enigmatic "Floodland" came next, selling a respectful 200,000 copies in the U.S. market and providing college radio with two additional hit singles, "Dominion" and "Lucretia My Reflection".

Of "Vision Thing", Eldritch says, "it's loud and it's exciting and it's very funny." Shooting more than a few poetic arrows at both American and English cultures, "Vision thing" is a creative reflection of the ills of a world gone awry.

But Eldritch maintains he's not trying to wake people up with his startling lyrics and apocalyptic vision.

Senator claims 4-year colleges offer 'nonsense' courses

(CPS) -- Four-year colleges are too expensive and clog up their curricula with "nonsense" courses, Sen. Robert Byrd said in a speech to the Association of Community College Trustees.

Byrd, who heads the important Senate Appropriations Committee, complained that the University of North Carolina at Greensboro offered a course about Grateful Dead fans and that the University of Illinois had a course about billiards.

Community colleges, on the other hand, "offer our best opportunities for educating a new generation of leaders at a relatively low cost to students, Byrd added.

Police take over frat houses (CPS) - In an apparently unprecedented college raid, federal drug police raided three University of Virginia fraternities March 22, arresting 12 members and taking control of the houses themselves.

Members not involved in the investigation can move back into the Phi Epsilon Pi, Delta Upsiion and Tau Kappa Epsilon houses, but not before signing new "rental agreements" with the federal government.

The 12 students were arrested on charges of selling hallucinogenic designer drugs, LSD and mushrooms.

Because taking possession of private social clubs like fraternities is so unusual. Drug Enforcement Agency officials said they got prior approval for the raid from U.S. Attorney General Richard Thomburgh.

Study says more women in peril

(CPS) - Rapes and rape investigations galvanized students at Cornell University in New York, the University of Colorado at Boulder and the University of Wisconsin at Madison the third week of March.

On March 22, meanwhile, a U.S. Senate report claimed more women were raped around the U.S. in 1990 than ever before, exceeding 100,000 victims for the first time.

"American women are in greater peril now from attack than they have ever been in the history of our nation," Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., said in releasing the report.

Cornell public safety officers were investigating the reported gang rape of a student March 13, and Boulder police were probing if an inebriated, partially unclothed woman student who was hit by a car after running from a fraternity party had been sexually assaulted.

In Madison, Chi Phi fraternity President Benjamin Schomburg said house residents watched as a couple had sex on the chapter's lawn March 21, believing the sex was consensual. However, the woman later told police that she had been raped.

Student campaigns for on campus abortion clinics

(CPS) -- The leader of a failed effort to establish the first on-campus abortion clinic in the U.S. says he'll soon move his efforts to other schools around the U.S.

Organizer Andy Temay, past president of the Progressive Students' Union, has vowed to take the issue elsewhere.

"Making it a more national issue will draw a more powerful group behind us," Temay said.

Temay helped organize an effort earlier this school year to establish an abortion clinic on the University of Texas at Arlington campus.

UTA students rejected the effort, voting 1,430 to 746 against allowing first-trimester abortions in the student health clinic on the campus.

A week later, the Student Congress voted down a resolution to send the proposal to the school administration, which had promised to reject it anyway.

In elections, students on other campuses often have opposed letting women have the option of abortion, much less having a clinic on campus.

At Virginia Tech, for example, students voted down a student government resolution that opposed further restrictions on abortion.

Despite winning the few campus-wide student abortion elections that have been held, anti-abortion activists complain student governments are biased against them.

their morality on the rest of the campus," said Scott Obemberger, head of American Collegians for Life.

Obernberger, a student at Catholic University of America, noted CUA's student government nearly denied funds for a campus pro-life group.

"Typically, it's very difficult to

receive funding," said Obemberger, who knows of about 300 campuses with pro-life groups.

P ro -cho ice groups , he maintained, get funding "without question." On the other hand, pro-life groups are at "the very least interrogated."

"Student governments around the country are notoriously unfair."

Lacrosse to face MIAA foe Albion by Dan Combs Sports editor

At Hope College, lacrosse has been a club sport that has been played by many students since the late 1970 s. This year's team, consisting of

close to 30 members, is looking to forget their disappointing season last year and to regain the winning ways that the team had two seasons ago.

In the 1989 season, the lacrosse team suffered only one defeat Last year, with many of the same

, members from the previous year's squad, the team only won two games.

The team has two new player coaches this year. They are Tom Theile and Doug Henke (^l) . When the weather conditions are not favorable for practicing outdoors, the team plays in the Dow gymnasium. When they do

this, the team has a faculty advisor who helps the team set up practice times. The team's faculty advisor is Chaplain VanHeesL

With many returning players and some new additions, this year's

team is strong at all positions. The positions on a lacrosse team are;

attackers who always play offense, mid-fielders who play both offense and defense, defenders and a goalie.

Some key players on this season s team are Mike Schanhals ('91), Pablo Peschiera ('92) and Pat Cunnington (*93) along with the player coaches. Dan Baas ("94) is anew member to the team that will contribute a lot.

The team plays between 11 and 15 games each season. They play two teams from the Michigan

Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA). The two teams are Calvin

and Albion. Other teams that Hooe

competes against are Western Michigan University and Hillsdale College. Hope is a member of the Michigan Lacrosse Association.

Lacrosse is not a one gender sport at Hope College. This year there are two female players on the team. This is not unusual. There have been female players on many previous lacrosse teams at Hope. Many schools have a women's and a men's lacrosse team.

So far this season Hope has played three games. They have had mixed results. They opened their season with a loss to Western Michigan. They then went to Hillsdale College and won 6-4. They next went to Albion and lost 13-12 in sudden death overtime. The team gets a chance for revenge today. They will play Albion this afternoon at the Buys Athletic Field.

The Hope College women's softball team's bats came alive last Saturday as the Flying Dutch took two games from Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) rival Olivet. The scores were 14-0 in each game.

The Dutch hit four home runs in the games including two grand slams in the third inning of the first game. Rachel Zimmer (493) had one of the grand slams and she also added a two run homer in the second game.

"That was so exciting," said Head Coach Karla Wolters. "We knew that we were going to bust out sooner or later. We're just glad it was today."

"We have some hitters who can put the ball up in the air and with the wind blowing out it's going to be a high scoring day," said Wolters.

Wolters also said, "1 was real pleased too with our patience at the plate. There were a lot of pitches that were near the strike zone and for the most part we did a great job of hitting strikes."

Neither game went the distance of seven innings. Both were called after five because the Flying Dutch was leading by more than 10 nins.

The third inning was the decisive one in both games. Hope scored ten runs, with the help of

two grand slams, in the third inning of the first game. That gave the Dutch a 12-0 lead.

In the second game, Hope scored seven runs, including the two run homer by Zimmer and a solo home run by Heather Wolf ('94). That made the score 10-0.

"We needed those wins," said Wo'ters. "Everybody did a super job at making good contact. We had a lot of base hits. It seemed

lihC 1 was waving people in to so re every inning."

Wolters was also happy about the team's play in the field. "I was very pleased with the defense. Sometimes, in a game like this, when you are batting for along time it is hard to go back to the field and concentrate on defense."

Pitching was also strong for the Flying Dutch. In the first game, Lisa Wolters ('92) and Danna Bolenz ('94) combined for the shutout. Eileen Malkewitz ('91) and Erin Neil ('94) held Olivet scoreless in the second game.

"I thought that our pitchers pitched real well. That is just what we expect them to do. They have been pitching real well and we just have not been giving them the run support"

Before the two wins, Hope had lost five games in a row. In those games, the Dutch were leaving 8 to 12 runners on base in each game.

Hope improved its overall record to 8-8. They are now 2-2 in the MIAA, after losing two games to Adrian. Adrian, the league's top team, is 6-0 in the MIAA, but Walters is still confident of the team's chances to win it all.

"I still think that we have a good shot at it. We need a little help from Alma to beat Adrian. We need to stay tough ourselves. We virtually have to win all the rest of our games, but the league tournament counts as part of the standings," said Wolters. "If we

win the rest of our league games and do well in the tournament, and also if somebody knocks Adrian off, there is still a chance."

Hope continues league play this week. Yesterday they played two games at Kalamazoo. Saturday, Albion will come to Holland to play two games.

Former student sues school bank Baylor basketball player says he earned Camaro (CPS) -- Claiming he had earned a free car by playing basketball for his schoof, a former Baylor University student has filed a $3 million countersuit against his

Tner coach and a bank that tried to x t the money it had loaned him

the car.

91

The student claimed the school had lured him to Waco in the first place by giving him the car.

John Wheeler, who played basketball at Baylor in 1985, filed the suit in McLennan County Court against former coach John Haller, who coached from 1978 to 1985,

aiKi MBank Waco, which loaned the money for the 1982 Chevrolet Camaro Z28.

Six months ago, MBank filed suit to collect the loan, which was due in 1987.

Wheeler's lawyer thinks the move was in retaliation for

Wheeler 's role in a National Collegiate Athletic Association investigation that ultimately led to the suspension of Baylor 's basketball program for two years.

Haller resigned shortly after the investigation ended.

The suit claims Haller illegally

recruited Wheeler in 1984 by bribing him with the Camaro, and alleges that Haller and the bank obtained Wheeler's signature on the promissory note fraudulently.
