Dean of Chapel search continues Mackenzie Smith SPOTLIGHT EDITOR

The H o p e Col lege communi ty

has been without a Dean of the

Chapel since the beginning of the

semester. During Parent ' s Week-

end, Reverend Trygve Johnson was

the first prospective replacement to

v is i t H o p e ' s C a m p u s . J o h n s o n

spoke at the Sunday night Gather-

i n g s e r v i c e a n d at M o n d a y

morning 's chapel .

Johnson is currently living with

his wi fe in Scotland where he is

working on his Theology Ph.D. at

the University of St. Andrews. Prior

to that, Johnson, attended Western

Theogica l Seminary in Hol land ,

where he received his Masters of

Divinity, and Northwestern Col-

lege, Iowa, where he received his

bachelor 's degree.

Johnson ' s profess ional experi-

e n c e i n c l u d e s w o r k a s

Nor thwes tem's chaplain, and as a

pastoral intern at Third Reformed

Church in Holland and as chaplain

intern here at Hope College. His

interests include coaching basebal,

wr i t ing , speak ing , cyc l ing , and

painting.

Johnson ' s extended visit and in-

terview was the beginning of the

end of the search for a dean. The

Search Commit tee , which consists

of three students, five faculty mem-

bers f r o m di f fe rent depar tments ,

four members of the administration,

and one Board of Trustees member,

was f i rs t put toge ther ear ly last

M a r c h w h e n T i m B r o w n , t h e

fo rmer dean, announced that he

would not be returning to his posi-

tion this fall.

The committee 's first task was to

put together a j o b description. Ac-

cording to the job posting on the

KnowHope website, ' T h e college

is searching for a person with the

mind of a scholar, the heart of a

pastor, and the courage of a leader.

Af te r this descripdon had been

de te rmined , the commi t t ee then

worked to advertise the j o b open-

ing. Paul Boersma, director of cam-

pus ministries and a member of the

search committee, said this process

included "ne tworking within the

Reformed Church of America," in

New parking lot opens, more work to be done Anjey Dykhuis MANAGING EDITOR

Students with cars at Hope are aware of

one th ing : pa rk ing can eas i ly b e c o m e a

hassle. Three thousand students attend this

college, and a good number of them possess

their own vehicles. Hope has many parking

lots, but some of these are reserved for fac-

ulty, staff, and visitors. Students who leave

their cars in these lots can expect tickets f rom

Campus Safety. Parking in an unmarked spot

will also result in a ticket. Ticket prices range

upwards f rom $15, which may not sound like

much, but can seem like a fortune to students.

On Saturday, the improvement of one of

Hope ' s parking lots was completed. Some-

times referred to as the Semco lot, it is lo-

cated between 12lh and 13a, streets, east of

the tennis courts and the two Dow lots.

Whi le the paving and lighting were being

completed, s tudents were allowed to park

overnight on 12^, 13* and 14* streets. Now

that the lot has been reopened, that conces-

sion f rom Holland Police Department has

ended, and all are expected to use Hope park-

ing lots once again. The reopening of the

Semco lot. Lot S, will open up 141 parking

spaces for students. This is slighdy more than

could park on the designated streets of the

special al lowance during the construction.

Since the opening of Lot S last Sunday, it

has not yet been filled to capacity.

"This is a huge step in the right direction

as far as dealing with the parking issue at

Hope College," said Chad Wolters, sergeant

for Public Safety. ' T h e r e are plans for addi-

tional parking as the campus expands and

builds new facilities. This will help even

more for parking around campus. (It 's) an

important issue that Campus Safety is deal-

ing with every day; it is important to (every-

one)."

Wolters also points out that students can

always park on the street and walk to their

desdnation rather than getting frustrated try-

ing to find a spot near the building they need

to be at. " C a m p u s Safety is available to escorts

f rom lots anytime during the night," Wolters

said. "The shuttle van runs from 6 p.m. to 2

a.m. and Campus Safety officers are avail-

able after that." Campus Safely is also working with the

Grounds Department to update signs in the

current parking lots. This will begin next

spring, or, if all goes well, this fall.

Tammi brothers team up in King Lear Jenny Cencer STAFF REPORTER

T h e H o p e Co l l ege Thea t r e D e p a r t m e n t

will present Will iam Shakespea re ' s tragedy,

" K i n g L e a r , " N o v e m b e r 19-22 . P e r f o r -

mances begin at 8 p.m. in the DeWit t The-

atre, with one mat inee at I p .m. on Saturday,

Nov. 22.

T h e product ion features profess ional ac-

tor and guest artist, Tom Tammi . playing the

role of King Lear. Tammi . the brother of di-

rector John Tammi , began his theatre career

short ly a f te r high school as a spear-carr ier at

the Guthr ie Theatre in Minneapol is , Minne-

sota.

H e c o n t i n u e d his s t u d i e s at E n g l a n d ' s

Bristol Old Vic Theatre School . T a m m i ' s ex-

per ience includes credi ts on Broadway, o f f -

Broadway, regional theatre . TV, and various

f i lms. H i s te levis ion b a c k g r o u n d includes

" A d a m s Chronic les ," "Homic ide ," "Law and

Order ," "St. E l sewhere , " not to ment ion a

stint as a soap character on " A s the World

T u r n s . " T a m m i ' s f i l m c r ed i t s cons i s t of :

"Diner ," "S leep less in Seat t le ," and "Clear

and Present Danger." In addition, Tammi was

a found ing m e m b e r of the Co lonnades The-

atre Lab in New York City, where he per-

fo rmed as an actor and served as Associate

Director and dramaturge .

In response to combin ing ef for ts for "King

Lea r " with his brother, d i rector John Tammi

says, "This play is very m u c h about fami ly -

like many of Shakespea re ' s plays, so work-

ing with my brother has been informative and

interesting. Shakespeare explores the s imple

fami ly relationships. Tom and I have noticed

s o m e similarit ies be tween King Lear and our

fami l ies , for example , w e have three sisters,

Tom has one daughter and I have t w o . . . O f

course Shakespeare ' s play is about an espe-

cially dysfunct ional family and is much more

SEARCH from 1

exaggera ted to s o m e degree . T h e stakes are

higher for Lear, a f te r all, he ' s a king, this ty-

rannical , authori tarian, legendary f igure ."

S h a k e s p e a r e ' s tragic d r a m a . King Lear,

depicts a ru le r ' s intent to divide his k ingdom

among his three daughters and their spouses.

T h e daugh te r who c la ims to love him the

most, however , will inherit the largest por-

tion.

As Lear is deceived by the f lat tery of his

older daughters and ignores his trusted advi-

sor Kent, he banishes his youngest daughter ,

Cordel ia , who solely por t rayed her s incere

love. L e a r ' s realm is therefore awarded to

Corde l ia ' s older sisters, Goner i l and Regan ,

who eventual ly succeed in shredding their

f a the r ' s d igni ty and possess ions with elo-

quen t tr ickery. Lear s u c c u m b s to insani ty

upon realization of his error in banishing his

only loyal daughter. Despi te his darkest hour

of the night, however , Lear f inally accepts

himself and c o m p r e h e n d s what it is to be

human .

Coinc id ing with the main plot, the charac-

ter Gloucester is also unaware of the evil plots

conspired by his i l legit imate son. Edmund .

Ironically, only a f te r suffering physical blind-

ness, does he f inally c o m e to te rms with re-

ality. Both King Lear and Glouces ter expe-

rience the horrors of evil. However . "In the

wake of physical destruct ion comes spiritual

regenera t ion," T a m m i said. A s Lear says to

Gloucester , " A man m a y see how this world

goes with no e y e s . . . " (Act IV scene 5).

Tammi has been eagerly anticipating a pro-

duct ion of "King Lear."

' T h i s is one play that I wanted to do be-

fore I retire. Right n o w we have a large pool

of talented male actors, so the c i rcumstances

were r ight to do this play," T a m m i said.

For those w h o are apprehens ive about

more LEAR on 3

in wh ich Hope has its rel igious roots, a long

with a variety of other tactics.

Boersma said that this is a desired posi-

t ion for c lergy and that there has been a wide

geographica l response , inc luding several in-

ternational appl icants .

A s the n a m e s of i n t e re s t ed c a n d i d a t e s

started coming in, a quest ionnaire w a s then

sent to all w h o were qual i f ied .

The commit tee spent much of its t ime over

the next several months reading through these

quest ionnaires and discussing the candidates '

potential . They began to reduce the applicant

pool , and are now at the point where they

are really beginning to nar row it down.

During the extended weekend that Johnson

was on campus , he also went th rough inter-

v iews with many different groups of people

and met with the ad-

min i s t r a t i ve c o u n -

c i l . T h e s e g r o u p s

President James Bu l tman ' s o f f i ce is in the

process of tallying and compil ing everyone ' s

responses to Johnson . T h e search commi t t ee

will mee t today to look through the react ions

and to voice their o w n reponses to Johnson ' s

visit. B o e r s m a s t ressed that Johnson w a s the

first, but not necessar i ly the only candidate

to be b r o u g h t to c a m p u s . " N o others are

planned right now. . .after the commit tee talks

W h e n asked about s tudent involvement in

the i n t e r v i e w i n g p r o c e s s , B o e r s m a sa id ,

"That w a s the one area that was lacking."

H e would have liked to give the general s tu-

dent body more of a chance to part icipate in

the process and especially to have given them

the chance to talk to and quest ion Johnson

personally.

T h e c a m p u s minis tr ies o f f i ce is func t ion-

absence can be felt most by s tudents at Sun-

day night G a t h e r i n g se rv ices in D i m n e n t

that this spreads the off ice a little thinner than

it has been in the past. However , he com-

T h e commi t tees goal is to fill the posi t ion

by the beginning of the 2004-2005 school

year. Boersma approves of this t ime f r ame ,

c o m m e n t i n g that leaving this posi t ion un-

to be a p rob lem."

After the committee talks we will decide to bring others or not.

Let's Talk About... Religion Part 2: Power of Prayer

R E L I G I O N

Katie Taylor INFOCUS EDITOR

T h e dia logue in last w e e k ' s ar-

ticle about religion gave some in-

sight to the v iews of both a conser-

vative Christ ian student and a more

liberal s tudent . Even within one

smal l c o m m u n i t y such as Hope ,

there are so many rel igious v iews

with both slight and dramat ic d i f -

fe rences , depend ing on the issue.

This w e e k ' s rel igious d ia logue will

take one of those issues that have

at t racted some attention lately.

An art icle titled " G o d & Heal th:

Is Rel igion G o o d Med ic ine?" ran

in the N o v e m b e r 10, 2 0 0 3 issue of

N e w s w e e k . It acknowledged that

m o d e m medic ine is beg inn ing to

look at the power of p rayer in rela-

tion to i l lnesses.

Accord ing to the art icle, today

"patients are demanding more spiri-

tual ca re . " More than half of all

medical schools in the U.S. are now

offer ing courses that teach students

h o w to discuss illness and faith with

patients. T h e article said, "The Na-

tional Inst i tutes of Heal th p lans to

c ine ."

W h i l e God s e e m e d to be ban -

ished decades ago f r o m the medi-

cal p ro fess ion , s o m e doc to r s are

now saying that the spiritual mind

can be just as powerfu l as cel lular

act ions in the body.

For a long time, people have de-

b a t e d w h e t h e r o r not r e l i g i o u s

In one o f the chap te rs of his in-

t roductory p sycho logy text t i t led

"On Assess ing Prayer, Faith, and

Heal th ." Professor David Myers of

the psychology depar tment noted,

" A m o n g the nearly 35 ,000 Amer i -

cans randomly sampled by the Uni-

versity of Chicago 's National Opin-

N e w s w e e k art icle, regu la r a t ten-

Do I think prayer changes things? It may, but there are no guarantees.

—Professor Munoa

struggle with this complex subject :

"I pray about all sorts of things. D o

I think prayer changes th ings? It

may, but there are no guaran tees . "

It is hard to deny that praying can

ca lm the soul and therefore

relieve stress that may cause

problems such as headaches

Editor's voice

A voice still unheard

It would have been nice to be able to say lhat last week was

Ihe first lime thai the Anchor has had to run a blank editorial

page, but that would not be true. In the past, editors have chosen to keep the white space in

the "Your Voice" section rather than fill it with ads, like I

decided last week. When 1 saw that I would be facing the

same decision this week. I considered also leaving my

column blank. I was angry at the campus for once again not

partaking in dialogue. Although I am still angry that the

student body does not feel the need to share with each other,

it would be unfair to pin all of the blame on our readers.

This year, the Anchor has a very young staff. Faced with a

shortage of news on campus, we have been working very

hard to put out a paper every week. I will be the first to admit

that the paper is not perfect. 1 know that there are many areas

that we need to improve in, and we are working on them and

learning constantly. In the past few weeks, the stories

featured in the Anchor obviously haven' t been doing their job

of creating intrigue and stirring up conversation.

This still doesn ' t excuse the fact that there are no letters to

the Editor for two weeks in a row from a population of almost

3,000 students, not to mention the faculty, staff and other

members of the Hope community. Regardless of how whiny

an editor is, or how controversial or boring a story is, the

editorial page should be used as a constructive outlet for

ideas. This page will always remain as a forum of discussion for

our readership. Please don' t let this space go to waste.

LOVE 'N SUCH Classified

Columnist

Single can be okay Yes, f r iends, love is still in the air. I ' m not sure if any other

year at Hope has started with not one but three public proposals .

But congratula t ions g o out to Jef f and Amy, whose proposal w a s

witnessed at Vanderprov, and Kenny Rogers and his^new fianc£

as of H o m e c o m i n g weekend .

For now, however . I ' m going to clear the air. Yep, tha t ' s right,

because for many of my readers, well, "the air just smells like the

pickle factory d o w n the road. For the single and looking at Hope,

Friday nights can be a little bor ing.

Le t ' s f ace it, with all of the d iamonds f lashing on campus , this

is not the year of the single student. Sure , s ingle s tudents could

jo in in the fun by f lash ing a personal ad on the scoreboard at

ha l f t ime, perhaps . Maybe compose a little improv routine for

Vanderprov—but this might appear more despera te than adven-

turous and fun loving. W h e t h e r y o u ' r e SWF, SBF, or S G M , I ' d encourage you to jus t

be yourself . Yep. 1 c a n ' t tell you h o w many t imes I 've heard "I

d o n ' t get it, what am I doing w r o n g ? " We start to think that

Hope ' s campus is the only chance for f inding love we ' l l ever get,

especial ly w h e n some students are lucky enough to f ind their

special someone here. I ' ve been told by f r iends w h o graduated single that once they

got out into the wor ld that well, it 's a lot b igger out there. Fancy

that, huh? So chances are, y o u ' r e not doing anything wrong. In

fact, m y best encouragement is to be commi t t ed to your favori te

interests and pursue those i n s tead—join the waterski team, or

sign up for the Volunteer Services emai ls . Chances are if y o u ' r e

busy doing activities that reflect your personali ty, you ' l l meet

someone w h o shares those same interests.

And don ' t call your ex just because y o u ' r e lonely. T h a t ' s

usually a very bad idea.

I know it 's not easy being single. I a lso k n o w that not every-

one w h o ' s s ingle is l ook ing—and kudos to those reading this

c o l u m n w h o don ' t feel the need for a re la t ionship right now. But

fo r the hopeless romant ics w h o want to j o in the ranks of the

deeply commit ted , well, m a y your wor ld soon start smell ing a

little sweeter.

Until next t ime,

Men's, women's soccer advance Hope denies Calvin's chances at a tournament berth

Brad Vanderberg SPORTS EorroR

Saturday was a big day fo r Hope

sports . T h e footbal l t eam earned a

share of the MI A A c rown with a

high-scoring win at Olivet and both

soccer t e a m s cl inched a spot in the

N C A A championsh ips with s o m e

outs ide help.

T h e Fly ing Du tch headed in to

Sa turday ' s contest tied record-wise

with Calvin at 10-2-1. T h e Knights

held the advantage with more total

goals than Hope. T h e Dutch would

need a victory hos t ing Olivet and

have to h o p e for a Calv in tie o r loss

against Saint Mary ' s .

T h e Dutch did their part by pop-

p ing in three goals jus t 15 minu tes

into the contest , setting the stage for

a 7-0 blowout of the Comets . Hope

had a total of 18 s h o t s - o n - g o a l ,
