Hope celebrates Homecoming
Amanda Zoratti S T A F ^ R E P O R T E R
This weekend, students and com-
munity members lined the streets
to celebrate Hope's Homecoming.
From football to friends, parades lo parties, it was an exciting few days
to be on campus. The parade launched the festivi-
ties. building on the spirit of the crowd. The passing floats and the
ant ic ipat ion combined with the
music of the band lo create an ex-
hilarating atmosphere. "The band sounded really good,"
said Stacy Thomas ( '08). 4 i hung
up the phone and went to the win-
dow, but 1 couldn't see them, so I
just listened."
Part of the parade involves the float competition. This year. Prater
Sigma took first place in the con-test, followed closely by the Stu-
dent Congress float. Alpha Gamma
Phi took third place in the event. v "It was really short, but still a lot
of fun," said Courtney Miller ( '08).
"It seemed like there were a lot of
alumni, which was cool." Another tradition is electing a
king and queen from the court. This
y e a r ' s h o m e c o m i n g King and
Queen were Eric DcBoer ( '05) and
Samara Webb ( '05). ,4I like saying hi lo people, and
now that people have seen my face,
they say hello lo me," Webb said.
" I 'm just really excited about that." Webb is the first African-Ameri-
can female lo be named Homecom-ing Queen at Hope College.
"It feels good because 1 know

there will be a second, and a third,
and it will come more naturally
f rom now on. ll sets a precedent,"
Webb said.
The student body also elected a faculty/staff member for the court.
This year 's favorite faculty mem-
ber is Joel Toppen. professor Qf
political science. "It 's a great honor," Toppen said.
"It 's a humbling experience lo be
recognized in that way."
The football team kept the good
spirits rolling through their game Friday night, defeating Olivet 41-

Driving around Holland can be a compli-
cated process. Ninth Street, for example, is
a one-way road, and 12^ Sireet stops and starts again. This year, there are new ways to gel around, and new detours will be com-
ing soon. The City of Holland will be permanently
closing 1 r h and 12lh Streets between Colum-
bia and Lincoln, as well as 17,h Street, to all vehicular traffic due lo the Michigan Depart-
ment of Transportation mandate. The man-
date, which requires a 20 percent reduction
in the number of railroad crossings over the
next year, was put into place in an effort to
decrease the number of accidents ihe cross-
ings cause. Last year alone. 2.928 accidents on the
Unites Slates Railroad Systems resulted in
324 deaths and over 998 serious injuries,
according lo htip://www.angelsontrack.org.
These 1,322 casualties are enough incen-
tive for the city lo close the streets, and due
to Hope's expanding enrollment, the city will be vacating the property lo the college.
"I think the closing of these streets will
provide a greater sense of Hope community
on that s ide of c a m p u s , " said J e n n i f e r Yamaoka ('05), Student Congress vice-presi-dent. "It will also increase the level of secu-
rity there." The added space will be adjacent to the

Campus supports cancer research with Relay Lindsey Manthei S T A F F R E P O R T E R
Andrea Vandenburgh S T A F F R E P O R T E R
Hope students have a reputation
for being active in community ser-
vice and this year s tudents are
showing their support for cancer
research by getting involved with Relay for Life which will be held
on Oct. 22 to 23 from 7 p.m. to 7
a.m. in the Pine Grove.
"Relay for Life is a fundraiser lo
raise support for the American Can-
cer Society, speci f ica l ly for re-search and funding. It does so by
having 24 hour (or in Hope 's case,
a 12 hour) event where participants
continuously walk in honor of those
who have died from cancer," said
Allison Mirek ( '08), a team captain. 'Teams of people camp out in the
Pine Grove. Each team is asked to
have a representative on the track
at all times during the event—be-
cause cancer never sleeps," said Cassie Prusinski ( '05), co-chair for
Hope 's Relay for Life. Par t ic ipants collect dona t ions
from family, friends and local busi-
nesses towards every hour they walk. Relay for Life also raises a
large portion of their funds by sell-
ing luminaries. " L u m i n a r i e s . . . a r e whi le bags
with the name of someone who has
lost the battle lo cancer on it, and on the night of the walk these bags
will contain a candle and will light
the way for the rest of the evening,"
Mirek said. While most college students have
not dealt with cancer themselves,
many have fell its effects through
the e x p e r i e n c e s of f a m i l y and
friends. "1 have been very fortunate to
have two survivors in my family.
but 1 know many other people who
have not been as blessed and any
sort of finding and support for this cause I would love to be involved
with," said Katie Wellemeyer ( '07),
a team captain. "My step dad died from cancer
and I hope the Relay for Life can
save l ives in the f u t u r e , " said

Martha Miller Center proceeds, Fieldhouse encounters difficulties
The construction on Devos Fieldhouse has been slow to get off the ground. Late receipt of essential steel may necessitate overtime work for the rest of the fall season.
Lindsey Manthel STAFF R E P O R T E R
Strolling through campus, ihe steady
drone of saws and cranes can be heard almost anywhere. Hope College is in ihe
midsl of several large-scale construction
projects, some of which arc coming along
faster than others. Over ihe past several years, Hope Col-
lege has increased its campus size by nearly 40 percent. The new Pcale Science Center was dedicated Friday, and sludenLs
are looking forward for the opening of the Martha Miller Center for Global Com-
munication and the DeVos Fieldhouse.
The Martha Miller Center is scheduled to
open next fall. "The Martha MillerCenter is coming along
visibly well. We have been very impressed
with Lakewood Construction and their sub-
contractors." said Greg Maybury, director of
operations and technology. The Martha Miller Center will house the
communications department, as well as hiod-ern and classical languages, and international
relations. "The Martha Miller Center is actually
ahead of schedule," Maybury said.
The DcVos Fieldhouse. on the other hand,
is not coming along quite as expediently.
Construction has been moving more slowly
than expected because of material problems. ' T h e steel for the structure has been de-
layed f rom the manufac ture r . The main
trusses have not gone up yet, but they should
start going up by October 14," Maybury said.
The new communications building, on the other hand, is proceeding ahead of schedule.

"We have been working on other things
that don't involve the steel so we don ' t lose more time than necessary. Once the
steel comes, we may have to begin work-
ing extra hours at the manufac tu r ing
company's expense," Maybury said.
The S22 million fieldhouse project be-gan in the spring of 2004. It is set to be
"completed by September 5, and we plan
to have it open by October 11 (2005) for
men's basketball season," Maybury said.
In the past, men's basketball has played
in the Civic Center, and women's basket-ball and volleyball contests have been held in the Dow Center. The fieldhouse, which
will seal 3 .400 fans , wil l a lso house Hope's kinesiology and athletic training
programs.

fun experience for stu-
dents.

the t i m e the re w a s
swing and the other
half there was regular music. It was a good time to hang out with my
friends." The 27,h Annual Run/B ike/Swim/
Walk also took place this weekend. Participants had the choice between
each of the four events; a 3.1 mile
run, a 3.5 or 5 mile bike, a 400 or
800 meter swim, or a 2 mile walk. The event was sponsored by Shore-

a new road has been opened. Con-struction on Fairbanks Avenue be-
tween 8^ and I6,h Streets began last
year, blocking all easy access to Municipal Stadium and creating
traffic j ams in the area. This year.
the road is open to the public and is
traveling smoothly for students.
"There was a lot of traffic on Lin-coln last year,*' said Cynthia Perez
(*05). "That was kind of annoying."
The street now has a fresh sani-
tary sewer, water line, and storm sewer beneath the ground, as well
as better lighting and landscaping.
New curbs and gut ters line the eight-foot sidewalks that complete
the road's renovation.
"The changes are really excit-ing," said Meghan Florian ( '07.)
"Now all we need are new chairs
in Lubbers!"
While many of those involved with Hope 's
Relay for Life have had cancer touch their lives
in some way. only a desire to help out in the fight to prevent and cure the disease is neces-
sary. "This year, we currently have 32 teams, last
year we had 33 teams," Prusinski said.
Many participants have been surprised at the amount of support they have received and
the positive reaction they have had for Relay
for Life "My goal was originally to raise $200 and
we met that so I raised it to $300 and we met
that as well, so I guess we'll just keep going

different in size, shape, and color.
Some have bulbous root systems and some have roots that grow into

much preparation and maintenance
done by Gene Westra, the caretaker

The Tokyo Blue Orchid is one of many on display in the Peale greenhouse summer but, due to lack of funding, is now working as a volunteer.
Those who visit the exhibit might
think orchids are beaut i fu l and
decide to grow a plant of their own. If you decide to purchase an orchid
beware of orchids that are labeled
as "wild" or ktbare root." Those orchids may have been taken from
theirnatural habitat, and could add
to the e n d a n g e r m e n t of w i ld

need special care. Purchase a book, or go the library, so that you can

Who's doing the 'flip-flopping'? Hope partisans investigate changing political stances of presidential candidates
I N F O C U S
Erin L'Hotta INFOCUS E D I T O R
Throughout ihe pasl few m o n l h ^ Pres. George W. Bush and Sen. John Kerry have
debated ceaselessly on the topic of "flip-flop-
pingr
Bush claimed that Kerry is too indecisive
to be the leader of our nation. Kerry claimed
that Bush is too absolute to control our coun-
try. This political debate started in Washing-ton D.C. and spread into homes, offices and
college campuses across the country. On Oct.
7 Hope College continued this debate, by
holding an event called ' T h e Art of Flip-Flopping," which was sponsored by the Hope
Democrats. "The Art of Rip-Flopping" examined
the claimed indecisiveness in this election,
looking at it from the points of view of
both Bush and Kerry. The event started
with the audience defining the term "flip-
flopper" as someone who changes their opinion on a subject. This definition was
then applied to the actions of both Kerry
and Bush. The Hope Democrats passed out docu- "
ments which showed dated political state-
ments made by Kerry and Bush. It slated that
on Oct. 11, 2002, Kerry voted to authorize U.S. forces in Iraq. Then on Sept. 2, 2003 Kerry claimed he voted to "threaten" the use
of these forces. This January, Kerry defined
himself on MSNBC as the "anti-war" candi-date of the election. This information was
presented as an example of Kerry's so-called
"fl ip-flopping" political position. During the Oct. 8 presidential debate. Bush
presented this information as an example of
Kerry's wavering point of view, which he suggested makes Kerry a potentially unfit
president. "You know, for a while he (Kerry) was a
strong supporter of getting rid of Saddam
Hussein. He saw the wisdom—unt i l the Democrat primary came along and Howard
Dean, the anti-war candidate, began to gain
on him, and he changed positions. I don't see how you can lead this country in a time of
war, in a lime of uncertainty, if you change
your mind because of politics," said Bush.
Following this example, the Hope Demo-crats illustrated times when Bush has "flip-
flopped." On May 29,2003 Bush announced
in Poland that America found weapons of
mass destruction in Iraq, On Feb. 7, 2004
Bush stated that weapons of mass destruc-
With time and new intel-ligence don't our views change? And if they do, is that so wrong? —Tim Fry ('05) . 5 5
lion haven't been found and may be still hid-
den or possibly destroyed. Kerry called Bush on ihis "flip flop" dur-
ing the second presidential debate. "The president d idn ' t f ind weapons of
mass destruction in Iraq, so he's really lumed
his campaign into a weapon of mass decep-tion. And the result is that you 've been bom-
barded with advertisements suggesting that
I 've changed a position on this or that or the
other."

Senator John Kerry stands next to a flip-flop in recognition of his nickname, the "flip-flopper." This name was given to him due to accusations of having wavering political opinions.
Kerry also noted additional times when
Bush has painted him as a "fl ip-flopper."
Kerry said that Bush accused him of "flip-
flopping" on his stance concerning the No Child Left Behind Act. Kerry retorted by
stating that Bush is the "fl ip-flopper" of the
No Child Left Behind Act because he hasn't
funded the program with the full amount he
promised. "No Child Left Behind Act, I voted for it.
I support it. I support the goals. I 've argued that we should have fully funded it. The presi-
dent says I 've changed my mind. I haven't changed my mind: I 'm going to fully fund
it. So these are the differences," Kerry said.
Tim Fry ( '05), co-chair of the Hope Demo-
crats, hoped that through these examples the audience realized that both candidates have
"flip-flopped" on their political position.
" I n all t he c a m p a i g n i n g and all the
ff
speeches both candida tes give, they are
bound to both say what they don't necessar-
ily mean from lime to time." said Fry. "But my problem is that Kerry is seen as the only
^ ip - f lopper . 'Th i s is because Bush seems so
certain in his ideas even though he switches
them. Kerry switches and then explains why
he switches his views which make you think
he switches more." "Kerry has been consistent in why he has
changed his opinion. He ' s been consistent when looking past the simple vote," Fry said.
As Bush continues to paint Kerry as inde-cisive and Kerry continues to paint Bush as absolutist. Fry left the audience of "The Art
of Flip-Flopping" to ponder on this debate.
"So. Kerry is seen as the 4flip-flopper. ' Does the whole country 'flip-flop?'With time
and new intelligence don' l our views change?
And if they do change, is this so wrong?"

It's hard to remember, but there is more to life than you and me
You know how back in ihc Middle Ages people used lo Ihink
thai the Earth was ihe center of the universe and that every-
thing revolved around them? Silly, right?
Since then, a lot ol things have changed. We've been
through the Romantic Period, during which people sought a
sense of self and focused on the individual. This was followed
by the Enlightenment, when we began to look to science for
answers to our questions about the universe. And, as a result
of this, in the Industrial Revolution the individual was replaced
by the machine. Now we ' r e here, still in the beginning of the
21" Century, living as young adults in what is currently the
most powerful country in the world.
We're living in a time when there 's a lot lo think about.
There ' s a war going on. A presidential election, for which
many of us will be the first presidential election we 've voted
in, is coming up in just a few weeks. There ' s classes and
extracurricular activities and family and fr iends and personal
issues. T h e list goes on and on.
Taking all this inio consideration, i t ' s easy to lose sight of
things. When I was sixteen years old, taking my dr iver ' s ed
test, the woman I took the lest with told me that I had tunnel
vision and that one of these days if I d idn ' t start paying
attention to the things besides what was in front of me. I would
run into problems. I 've had to learn that the hard way several
t imes since then, and I 've missed a lot of things 1 could have
seen if 1 had just been paying more attention. I d idn ' t even
realize the colors of the leaves had changed until one of my
friends, who is studying abroad in Germany right now, asked
me if they had yet. As my roommate this summer always used to say, "life is
hard." It 's true. Trying to figure out who we are, what we ' re
doing, and why we ' r e here is hard. I think finding ourselves is
important, but a lot of limes, in doing so, many people, myself
included, begin to get this pay attention to me mentality and we
stop paying attention to everything else. There are a lways new
demands . And we a lways think that our problem is the most
important and should come before everyone else 's . We
complain when things don ' t g o our way. We push lo the front
of the line. We want everything and we want it now.
With break coming up, 1 hope you can lake some lime out of
your busy schedule to remember that there is a world beyond
your dorm room, or classroom, or "the Hope bubble ," or even
the United Stales. You never know what you might see if you
take that extra look around.

The twisting of our dream America. The land of
opportunity. For more than two
centuries, men and women have sacrificed their lives to provide
for us the freedoms we take for
granted. Among those liberties least appreciated is economic
freedom, our ability to pursue
the "American Dream": a house
with a yard and a two-car garage, a healthy family and a
well-paying job.
Or is that the definition of the American dream? I would like
to propose the radical idea that
the essence of the dream is not
about the actual possession of these material things, but rather
about the opportunity to pursue
them.
But we Americans, as a culture, have drifted away from
appreciation of opportunity.
We have become caught up in the tide of materialism. We
measure success by quantity
rather than quality, and this is a
dangerous mindset.
The Earth is a limited, finite resource,. It ^annot continue to
provide us with all the things
we want. Currently, 6.4 billion
people inhabit the earth. By
2050, that number could reach 9 billion. Already, a third of the
world lives in "water-stressed
areas," where access to clean water is extremely limited. Oil
prices recently hit a record S54
per barrel, and some experts
predict world reserves are fast
becoming depleted. Unrelenting consumerism
and the environmental abuse it promotes may drive our world
into the ground, if left un-
checked. Materialism is a
dangerous mindset. And after all, why should we
have all we want when so many
go without what they need?
Why is the opportunity of the
American dream limited to the United States of America and
the rest of our First World
clique? Last May I traveled to
Mexico as part of the May
Term class called Faith Seeking
Justice. While there, our group visited the rural village of San
Andre de la Cal. We spent the afternoon with a family whose
father and three sons-in-law had
all spent l ime in the U.S. as illegal immigrants. These men
risked their lives to travel north
- not for fun, but because a lack
of economic opportunities at
home forced them to, in order to provide for their families.
One daughter said she was
. glad her husband had gone to earn money but that it was hard
to raise their children alone.
She has two young children and
her husband is gone at least six months every year.
With a lack of economic opportunities (only encouraged
by the unavailability of
education) and no prospects for
improvement, the women lamented, ' T h e American
dream is a dream for Mexi-
cans." The women of the family had
this to say about their fellow
citizens who go to the U.S.: "People who go become more
materialistic. Community is
much stronger here - we help
each other." Contrast this with our
President's statement in his debate with Senator Kerry on
Friday.
"People love America." Bush
claimed. "Which people?" I would like
to ask our leader. Before we go otT and attempt
to Americanize the world,
before we attempt to spread our "superior" value system across
the globe, we must consider
what exactly that value system
entails. Democracy, Christian-i t y - and materialism? It is not
as pure as we 'd like to think.
The American Dream should
not be limited to our country.
But if we are to share it with the global community, we must
share its fundamental promise -
not its shiny veneer alone. The American Dream is not
about the materialism and moral superiority it has become
bogged down in. The dream, at its heart, is about hope, equal-
ity, and the promise of unlim-
ited opportunity. We must work
to bring these values back to the forefront of American thinking.
We must make our dream new
again.

Dutchmen win, remain unbeaten in MIAA Football team puts on a show for Homecoming
Chris Kirby S P O R T S E O I T O N
The Flying Dutchmen's showdown with
Olivel on Saturday was definitely one for the
fans. Quarterback Joe Schwander ( '06) let loose
again through the air, going 18-of-34 pass-ing for 311 yards and three touchdowns and
one interception as the Dutchmen busied up
Olivel 41-24 on Homecoming Saturday. After a scoreless first quarter, it only look
Schwander 11 seconds to find his favorile
target, Jake Schrock ( '05) for his 9,h touch-
down reception from 26-yards out as Nate
Barnctt ( '06) tacked on the extra point for a
7-0 Hope lead. The Dutchmen defense would hold steady
at the 10:29 mark as the Olivet offense was
held to a field goal for a 7-3 Hope lead until
David Booko ( '08) had a 2-yard plunge to
give Hope a 14-3 lead.
Olivel would add another field goal at the end of the firsl half to go into the locker room
trailing 14-6 al halftime. Schwander and Schrock would gel the sec-
ond half started off right as ihey connected
on a 36-yard touchdown pass with 10; 19 re-
maining in the third quarter, bul a failed two-
point conversion gave Ihem a 20-6 lead.
Olivel would answer with 8:02 remaining in the third quarter when Drew Nielsen broke
a 15-yard run, but had their exlra point at-
tempt blocked by the Hope defense to trail
20-12. Booko would once again find the endzone
on a 1-yard run with 3:27 left for a 27-12
lead. The action slowed for both offenses until
the 8:16 mark in the fourth quarter when
Schwander would strike again, this time on a 34-yard pass lo Joe Verschueren ( '05) for a
34-12 Hope lead. Carl Cannon would dive in from 3-yards
out with 6:44 remaining for Olivel, but the
two-point conversion failed and left the score
at 34-18. Hope fullback Todd Limback ( '05) would
add the nail the in the coffin for Olivel with
a 1 -yard run for a 41 -18 lead. Olivel would answer with :05 remaining
as Ryan Adams caught a 3-yard pass from
Rick Mason, but his try for a two-point con-
version failed lo end the game.
Despite giving up 326 yards rushing to Olivel, Hope managed lo force three fumbles
and recover all of them as, Nathan Sorenson
('05), Tim Keur (*05) and Brady Wilson ( '06)
all had a fumble recovery for Hope.
Hope had 21 firsl downs lo Olivet 's 19 and

down to lead all receivers for Hope.
Schrock had 5 catches for 123 yards and 2
touchdowns, and Kevin VandenBosch ( '08)

the Hope receivers. Andy Snyder ( '05) led all Hope defenders

solo tackles. Zach Huizing ( '07) and Paul
Hoeksema (*05) had 15 tackles each to
