Kines io logy research examines Pul l LAURA MIHAILOFF cam pus beat

There are pages upon pages of research

describing the effects of cycling, swimming,

and marathon running on the human body, but

no one has yet documented any findings on

an event such as the Pull. A research team comprised of Kinesiology

Professor Mark Northuis, and Hope College

s t u d e n t s Ben C o o k ( ' 9 8 ) and J e n n i f e r Geerdink ( '98), have set out to change that.

Last Spring, Northuis introduced the idea

in a faculty meeting with Dr. Chris Barney,

Dean of Students Richard Frost, and Coach John Patnott. He then offered the opportunity

to Cook as a way to fulfill a graduation re-quirement for a degree in kinesiology.

"No research has been done before on the

Pull," said Cook. "That is why we thought it

would be a good idea." Northuis suggested the possibility of gath-

ering some descriptive data on the Pull.

"Let ' s find out what 's really going on [with

the pullers' bodies] during the Pull." he said. According to Northuis, the researchers are

currently testing blood pressure, heart rate,

blood lactate levels, strength endurance, grip strength, vertical jump, body composition and

total body water. "From this we hope to leam a lot more about

the Pull," Northuis said. "One of the primary things we ' re looking

for is heart rale fluctuations during heaving,

lock-ins, and straining," he said. "If someone were to come out with a heart

condition and not know it, we would be able

to prevent it," Cook said.

B U C K L E U P : Ben Cook ('98) straps a heart monitor on Pull Coach Mike Adamski ('99) before studying pullers as part of a kinesiology research project.

In fact, in their preliminary research they did

discover that one puller 's heart rests at a slight angle, but this condition is not expected to affect

his performance. Because Pull practice lasts only three weeks

each year, there isn't much time to gather data.

"We plan to continue the project next year and

hopefully for several years to come," Northuis

said. To test heart fluctuations before, during, and

after the three-hours spent on the rope during the

actual Pull, the researchers plan to strap portable

heart monitors on the chests of several pullers.

The monitors are roughly 1/8 of an inch thick and one inch wide, and look much like a backpack

strap with two small electrodes on the inner side

against the chest. Every 60 seconds, a reading will be taken and transmitted to a small wristwatch-

like device that will rest less than three feet from

each puller. At the same time. Cook will keep a diary of the

minutely activities. These readings will then be

connected to a computer in the Dow where the

heart activity will be interpreted according to the

activity that was performed during each reading. more PULL on 2

The Student Congress ballots are in and the voter turnout was

up almost 50 percent f rom last

year with 619 college voters. "The number may be doubled

from last year, but we still have

apathy," said Vice President Chad Joldersma ( '99).

F o u r spo ts r emain un f i l l ed . Hope College is currently missing

one representative from Brown-

stone, one from Voorhees, and two

from off-campus residences.

According to Student Congress President Paul Loodeen ( '99), the

idea of having a representative for

every 93 or 95 students and from

every residence is to be able to

hear the voice of each side. There were several instances

where nonpetitioned candidates'

names were written in on the bal-

lot. These write-ins will aid the Stu-

dent Congress Executive Board in finding representatives where they

are lacking. The cabinet will call the wr i te -

ins and se l ec t f ou r s t u d e n t s through a process of interviewing.

T h e f i r s t S t u d e n t C o n g r e s s

meeting will be held at 8 p.m. on

Thursday, Sept. 25 in the Chapel and all meetings are open for stu-

dents to attend.

From novice to NCAA, sports

affect everyone. It seems appropri-ate, then, that the 18th annual Criti-

cal Issues Symposium is entitled,

"Sport and American Life."

"Sports was chosen as this year's

topic because it relates directly to

other current issues people are con-cerned about, such as race,

Department. Speakers will

branch out to con- nect

society's future. The first CIS activity involves

two showings of the movie "Hoop

Dreams , " at the Knickerbocker Theater: one on Monday, Sept. 29

at 7 p.m. and also on Oct. 1 at 7 p.m. The movie depicts two bas-

ketball players as they try to fol-low their dreams to the NBA. The

first showing will be followed by a discussion led by Hope Sociology

Professor Roger Nemeth. CIS presentations will begin on

Tuesday, Sept. 30 with the Keynote

Address, entitled "Race and Sports:

Prospects for the Future," at 7 p.m.

in Dimnent Chapel. Evening classes on Sept. 30 are

cancelled and all classes the follow-

ing day (with the exception of night

classes) are cancelled in order to al-

low students to attend the presenta-

tions. "We are using sport as a spring-

board for other issues," Kraft said.

"The role sports play in American life tells

us a lot about who

we are as a society

and also as indi-

viduals." A s s i s t a n t Pro-

vos t A l f r e d o Gonzales, who ar-

ranged this year's

Critical Issues Sympo-

sium, said, "I want to make sure that students take advantage of the

program so they know beyond what you can leam about these issues on

TV." Gonzales is enthusiastic about the outstanding lineup of speakers

and thinks "Sports and American Life" will attract not only Hope stu-

dents and faculty and Holland resi-dents but also people from other cit-

ies and colleges. In response to the concern voiced

by some that the topic is directed

more towards males, Kraft said that the people heading the CIS "really

wanted to make sure women get in-

advice to the other.

From this in fo rmat ion , Nor thuis ,

Cook and Geerdink hope to provide

Hope with new informat ion regard-

ing the event that has he lped make

the school f amous .

According to Northuis , one of the

concerns about the project was that

conduct ing research during the Pull

might distract the pullers.

"Tha t ' s not wha t w e wan t to d o , "

he said.

Last Wednesday Cook s t rapped

three pullers, inc luding the anchor ,

with heart moni tors benea th their

duc t - t aped vests .

"We want to m a k e sure the de-

vices don ' t h inder the pu l le rs ' per-

f o r m a n c e or cause them any dis-

comfor t , " he said.

" W e ' r e t r y i n g lo be as n o n -

invasive as possible," Northuis said.

"I can feel it," said Pul ler John

Branderhorst ( ' 01 ) "but it 's alright.

No prob lem."

C I S f r o m I

Geerd ink ' s role in the exper iment

is to measure and analyze the pull-

ers ' body compos i t ion .

" I have been m e a s u r i n g the i r

body composi t ion using bio-electri-

cal impcdence (which sends e lec-

trical impulses through the subject 's

body and measu res their body fat) ,

hydrosta t ic we igh ing (using a hot-

tub-l ike hydro l ic tank) , and skin-

fo ld testing ( the technique used in

Heal th D y n a m i c s c lass) ," she said.

"And then I'll compare the three for

accuracy."

Wilh the in fo rmat ion ext rac ted

f r o m the project , "it will be eas ie r

to analyze the e f fec t iveness of their

f i tness p rog ram," Nor thuis said.

T h e goal w a s to have all f resh-

m a n pul lers submit health history

f o r m s and for all sophomore pull-

ers to have pre-Pull physicals , but

according to Northuis , the numbers

w e r e a bit smal le r than they had

hoped .

" W e ' r e still l earn ing ," he said.

" W e will have more to work with

next year."

Sa turday ' s trial using the moni-

tors provided mixed results.

Cook attached several moni tors

lo the pul lers and only two noted

d i scomfor t f r o m the strap while on

the rope.

Cook and Nor thuis are hoping to

moni tor the pullers during the ac-

tual Pull next Saturday.

" I ' m glad we had the chance to

Along with "Fade lo Grey ," the

"Tell them that w e are not here

she said. "We are rel igious, not so-

Humble Perfections Two days after the world w<^ stunned with the death of

its Princess, it was devastated with the death of its Mother.

While people were glued to their television set watching

every little interview and speech regarding Princess Diana 's

death. Mother Teresa passed away and thus the world lost

one of its greatest treasures.

Not to put down the death of Diana and say that her

passing was not important, but in comparison to Mother

Teresa, she is severely shadowed. Diana was prettier and,

of course, royalty.

Diana had everything and represented what nearly every

person in America wanted in life. She was every girl 's

childhood dream come true and we all loved her for it. She

had material perfection but lived much of the last ten years

of her l i fe in misery due to an imperfect life. Mother Teresa,

however, had nothing in terms of material wealth, but had

all she would ever need when it came to spiritual perfection.

The differences in the livelihood of the two women were

astounding. While Diana represented everything that was

regal, pompous , and fashionable. Mother Teresa embodied

humility, simplicity, and peace.

She devoted her life to everyone.but herself. She wanted

to help people of all kinds, whether they believed in her

God or not. Posed pictures of her are rare because she

shunned the spotlight as though they burnt away part of

her soul. It is even fitting, perhaps, that the media did leave it alone

when she died. She would have wanted the attention off

herself and onto someone else. That is the way she lived

her life. She drew attention away f rom what she did any

chance she could.

The most important aspect of Teresa 's l i fework was that

she did not discriminate between religions. Regardless of

whether or not you loved God. Mother Teresa loved you.

The lack of emotion over Teresa 's death was appalling.

Very little was mentioned about her and yet people stayed

up all night crying in anticipation of Diana 's funeral , which

was broadcast live all over the world. It really makes one

think about where we place our priorities when we must

mourn for the loss of two polar opposites. Into the hands

of perfect royalty, and away f rom humble service.

your voice. Column missed the point in the meaning of the Pull Dear Edi tor ,

I wou ld l ike to c o m m c n t on Michael Zuidema's article "Pull 's

quiet problem." I am once again try-ing out for the 2000 Pull team and

as a moraler last year, one thing 1

learned was we were a team. We worked for each other and with each

other. I have nothing but respect for

every single man and woman that

has ever set foot on the practice f ield. I t 's a sport that demands

100% dedication and then some

more. I am all for seeing a man take on

the role of moraler as we" ve seen women take to the rope as pullers.

If he h a s the g u t s to ge l in someone 's face and yell at them when they are crying from pain, sit by someone while they're throwing

up or look someone in the eyes to

give them the courage to go on when every muscle is screaming to

stop, then we 'd welcome him into

our family. Practice starts at three. Bring a bucket with water bottles

and a towel. Michael Zuidema's dream, how-

ever, of seeing a pit retired in the

first male-moraler 's honor or sto-

r ies of a w e and w o n d e r be ing passed down is far-fetched. Pull is

a team effort. No one person, puller or moraler, gives more or deserves more credit. We work together, we

pull together, we eat together. We

win as a team or we lose as a team. N o one person is ever lifted up

higher than another. That 's what a team is. If that 's the change in tra-

dition you're looking for I 'm afraid

you ' l l never see it. As for male moralers, they're just as welcome

to try out as anyone else.

Pete Warburton tribute devoid of feelings and emotion

D e a r Edi tor ,

Greetings from Budapest! I have

been here for four weeks so far, hav-

ing spent most of my time during the first two weeks in an intensive

language course and having spent the last two weeks taking classes.

This last Wednesday, Sept. 17.1 re-

ceived a "care-package," from the

International Education Office: the

first three editions of this year ' s

Anchor.

What a great surpr ise it was!

Though I do thoroughly enjoy ex-

periencing*a new culture and learn-ing a new language, it is nice to

know what is going on at Hope in

my absence, which brings me to the point of my email.

I wri te , in r e g a r d s to M i k e

Zoln ie rowicz ' s article, "Campus mourns loss of c lassmate ," first

published in the August 27 edition

and then republished in the Sept. 3

edition. Even though I didn ' t know Peter

Warburton, I was utterly appalled

by the callous manner in which the

article was written. The very flip-

pant and verbose style of Mike 's writing undermined the poignancy

of Peter 's suicide. The article was

devoid of feeling and upset me. I can only imagine how pained those who knew Peter were by such a curt

report. I hope that in the future, greater

respect, not only for the topic of suicide but also for readers' feel-

ings, is exhibited than was in this

particular article.

Dear Edi tor ,

Something grabbed my attention

last Monday as I headed into the li-

b r a r y : s e v e r a l d o z e n s t u d e n t s

circled a man carrying a banner. I c o u l d n ' t read the b a n n e r f r o m

where I was, and my curiosity drew

me to the scene. As I approached the crowd, it was

obvious there was some debate as

well as entertainment occuring. I

stood to listen to what students had

been told for the past day in the

shadow of the chapel: This man, Tom, had a banner and

handouts that read "SIN according

to God" and proceeded to list a

couple dozen specific sins accord-

ing to the Bible. Tom's sermon cen-

tered around his assumptions and

stereotypes of his student audience,

pointing his finger at everyone who

challenged him. Bible verses spewed out of his

mouth, whether or not they were

relevant, and intimidated those at

whom they were directed. I did not

witness any attempt at gentleness or grace, the very essence of the

message of Jesus, God ' s Son. He

turned off this particular audience

so strongly that his interrogations

prompted one student to proclaim

that he would "rather follow Satan"

than this man. I 'm not sure what this man was

attempting to accomplish that day.

I assume he was either trying to

convict Christians to clean up their

lives or bring more into the King-dom. Whatever his mission, I ob-

served many students become dis-

gusted and fur ious over his de-meanor. I don ' t blame those who

were c o m p l e t e l y tu rned off by

Tom's manner. I wish Tom would 've been more

sensitive to see that the message, as

he was delivering it, was not pro-

ducing fruit, but only spoiling soil.

It breaks my heart to see followers

of Jesus giving Christianity a bad

name. Using the name of Jesus to ac-

cuse, anger, and destroy is com-

pletely contrary to His purpose of

reconciling man to God. Jesus came with grace so that we might have

full, abundant life (John 10:10).

This is not to say that I disagree

wi th the c o n t e n t of this m a n ' s speeches. I believe most of the con-

tent of his message is completely

Biblical. God hates sin and His

judgement will come on those who

don ' t realize and accept his remedy

(Jesus) and turn f rom their sin. However , w h e n e v e r Jesus con-

fronted someone in their sin, it was

always in the context of his incred-

ible love. He always provided something

reassuring, something comforting, something attractive to the sinner;

"Take heart, son; your sins are for-given." (Matt 9:2) ' T h e n neither do

1 condemn vou. Go now and leave

your life or sin." (John 8:11). We

all need to know before we aban-

don our sin, that there is a loving

Father accepting us, all of us, as we

are. God does not welcome us with a

pointing finger or accusations. He does welcome with a huge portion

of grace available for every person,

and this grace is bigger than any

amount of sin. I pray that Tom adds another side

to his banner; "GRACE according

to God: forgiveness, hope, freedom,

joy. truth. Love, abundance, avail-able, no condemnation, patience,

generosity, purity. BIGGER than

sin.

Anchor article misidentified ethnicity of dancers Dear Edi tor ,

I was at Community Day with my

daughter 's dance troupe which was

performing. I was not there all day. but I was there a long lime and I

did nol see any dancers represent-

ing "China" as your article about the event states. Unfortunately. I

suspect that you are referring to the Holland Korean Dance Troupe.

Korea is a distinct country, thou-sands of years old. While il is in

Asia and has some things in com-mon with its neighbors, China and

Japan, it has a very rich culture and history of its own. The children in

this group were all adopted from

South Korea. They work hard with

a dedicated Korean teacher to pre-serve the heri tage of their birth

country. They were correctly adver-

tised and announced. In the parade through town and over to the island

they were carrying a sign identify-ing w h o they were . They were

wearing authentic imported cos-tumes. Had they been asked, they

would have gladly told you about themselves bccausc they are proud

to be Korean Americans.

It is sloppy reporting to omit them and sloppier still to misrepresent

them. Whichever happened, I trust

you will be more responsible in the

future. These children will be se-lecting a college in a few years and

will surely appreciate a place where

students know that there are many countries and cultures in Asia and do not make assumpt ions about

them on the basis of their hair color

and facial features.

Summer days, drifting away . . English Prof describes her summer experiences

KATE FOLKERX staff reporter

Imagine spending two months of summer vacation having every need

catered to, including your laundry, just so you could have tons of free

lime to write and relax. In the busy world of today, this vision hardly

seems possible. For English professor Heather

Sellers, however, the dream became

reality this past summer. Sellers was selected for two writ-

ing residencies this summer. The first occurred at the Millay Colony

in New York, and the second at the

Hawthornden International Retreat for Writers in Scotland.

"Both are well known in the writ-ing c o m m u n i t y as be ing g rea t

places to get a lot of work done,"

Sellers said. "It was by far the best

summer of my life."

Sellers spent the month of May at the Millay Colony with four other

artists, including two visual artists,

a p l a y w r i g h t ,

and a composer.

She enjoyed be-

ing with artists

from other disci-plines because it

g a v e her a

chance to con-sider other cre-

ative processes

and thus look at her o w n in a new light.

dencies year round, and often hosts

f a m o u s a u t h o r s , such as J o h n

Updike.Sellers spent basically the month of June at the Hawthornden

International Retreat for Writers.

Sellers was one of six writers, hail-

ing f rom Denmark, Canada, and New York, who spent the month in

a castle. The estate is owned by Mrs .

Heinz, of the Heinz Pickle family,

who spends about two months of

the year there and opens it up to

aspects of both programs was that

all of the others involved were also

professors.

"One of my favorite things about

the whole summer was getting to talk about what we

do in our c lasses and with our s tu-

dents," Sellers said.

"I got good ideas f o r new books to

t each and n e w

people to bring to

campus." So, what is a writ-

ing residency really

like?

"No errands. All you r m e a l s p re -

pa red and le f t at

your door, total si-lence at all times, no television,"

Sellers explained. With all the seclusion it might be

expected that the participants would get lonely, but Sellers said this is

not the case. "Writers really thrive on soli-

tude," Sellers said. "Then, when we

come back to classes in the fall, we

are refreshed, invigorated, alive — ready to give again."

While participating in these pro-

grams, Sellers had the chance to

to go to the opera. "I also went on long, long walks,

especial ly in Scot land ," Sellers

said. "All that walking and green

and rain — I just soaked it up." At night Sellers and her compan-

ions often built fires and sat around,

reading and discussing their own

work and the work of others.In Scotland, the director of the writ-

ing program was Polish, and he shared Polish writings and poetry

with them. Sellers developed an in-

terest in Polish poetry as a result of

this. These two programs were the

first res idencies Sellers experi-enced. Both are very competitive

in terms of who is accepted. Sell-

ers was selected based on her pub-

lications. "I thought I would just get one

residency," Sellers said. "It was

great to have two!"

Sellers said she would jump at the chance to do this type of thing

again.

"I feel like I have brought back

all these fresh perspectives and all

kinds of new stuff to work with,"

Sellers said. "The time spent alone

was great for recharging, and so was the time spent with other writ-

ers."

A tale of two bands SAC and WTHS co-sponsor area bands this weekend

MIRIAM BEYER intermission editor

Two bands, both alike in dignity, will perform this Saturday. Sept.

27, at the Knickerbocker Theater

at 8 p.m.

Fat Amy. one of the bands, is well known in the West Michigan

area. Originating from East Lansing,

they have been playing at several

bars and coffee shops along the lakeshore recently, and are starting

to make it big.

Fat Amy ' s sound is described by the campus ' radio station. WTHS,

as "like Verve Pipe, except with a

little more edge and less blues."

They are a guitar-oriented band,

composed of four men. The other band. Smoking Popes,

is also made up of four guys. They

are from Chicago, and their sound is in somewhat the same vein as Fat

Amy's . Originally, the two bands con-

tacted the Student Activities Com-

mittee (SAC) about performing at

Hope. They were conducting a whirl-

wind midwest col lege tour, and

wanted to know if Hope was inter-

ested in hosting them. Dan McCue ( ' 99 ) , a member

both of SAC and WTHS. alerted

the radio station of the news, and the two organizations decided to

co-sponsor the event.

Tickets for the concert are $3, and they can be purchased at the

Student Union Desk.

theory. T h e E w a s t h e r e — n o

problem. But then 1 cont inued,

and f rowned .

" T h e y ' r e not all here ," 1 said

accusingly.

"Yes they are ," she said.

Then I sang the song fo r her

and pointed out that there w a s no

N, there w a s no O, and there w a s

no L. Those w e r e pretty impor-

tant letters in my name.

She insisted that they were

there. So 1 went through the song

and started wr i t ing letters. Af te r

K, I w a s c o n f u s e d .

"Wha t does e l e m e n o look

l ike?" 1 asked. 4 What?" she said.

"E lemeno . " And I sang the

song again.

1 don ' t r e m e m b e r if m y mothe r

smiled or l aughed , but I do k n o w

that f r o m her later tel l ing of that

story she thought it w a s pretty

funny. She wrote out the letters

this t ime and pointed out the very

separate letters L, M, N, and O .

From that t ime on, the skill

was mine and there w a s no

mystery to hold m e back. I could

draw on the walls and write m y

little b ro ther ' s n a m e under the

scribbles. M y mother d idn ' t

believe that m y one-year-old

brother could write his name yet,

but that d i d n ' t s lop me.

I could finally read my o w n

books, and I d id for hours on

end. So many hours , in fact , that

I was somet imes told to put

down the b o o k s and go play

outside.

With all these wonde r fu l

stories running through m y

head, m y young imaginat ion ran

wild. 1 created my own stories

of fair ies, ghosts , and long ago

t imes.

In these fairy tales of mine,

an imals could talk, pr incesses

were beaut i fu l and clever, and a

little magic could get you out of

any mess . So basically, in my

f ree t ime I wrote for Disney.

N o w m y creat ive out let is a

weekly dose of journa l i sm to

break up my over- technical l ife

as a sc ience major . None of m y

animals talk. My pr inces and

pr incesses meet whi le sc reaming

over a rope, and magic is so

much harder to f ind.

M y first story this year

brought you a young prince

f r o m the fa r -away land of

Minneso ta . H e w a s handsome ,

smar t , and dar ing. H e would do

great things in our land of Hope.

I wished him the best before I

left to write about his family .

You all know the end ing—three

w e e k s later the young prince

died.

In o u r wor ld , where happi ly

ever a f te r doesn ' t a lways c o m e

and once upon a t ime i sn ' t qui te

distant enough , we might forget

that magic still exists .

Have you seen the green

leaves deepen to gold and

orange and red be fo re fa l l ing to

the g round? Gran ted , this rich

b lanket of bright a u t u m n glory

is quickly sucked off the ground ,

r ipping a w a y that childish

possibi l i ty of j u m p i n g in piles of

leaves. But i t 's still n ice all the

same.

Have you picked out constel-

lations in a clear d i a m o n d sky,

or put g low-in- the-dark st ickers

on your cei l ing? Have you seen

a wel l -dressed boy with a f lower

behind his back and the o ther

hand poised to knock on a door?

Did you see the Buckhou t

fami ly thank a chapel ful l of

prec ious chi ldren w h o c a m e to a

memor ia l service for a class-

mate that most had never met?

T h e everyday miracles

allotted us a r en ' t as evident as a

fairy ta le ' s magic , yet they are

there all the same. Finding these

g l impses of hope and bringing

them to others keeps m e writ ing,

past e l emeno , past syntax, lo

someth ing a little magical of my

own.

Passion for Pull is the tie that binds A N D R E W LOXZ: staff reporter

Accord ing lo a recent study d o n e

by a g r o u p of n e u r o s c i e n c e psy -

chologists . the ho rmones that cause

f i r s t a t t r a c t i o n to p e r s o n s of

s o m e o n e ' s sexual preference , usu-

ally an e v e n t p l a c e d a r o u n d ten

years of age by deve lopmenta l psy-

chologists , are not re leased by the

gonads , but instead by the adrenal

glands.

T h e adrenal g lands are part of the

s y m p a t h e t i c ( a r o u s i n g ) n e r v o u s

sys t em, and re lease the h o r m o n e

a d r e n a l i n e in l i m e s of p h y s i c a l

stress. Th i s i nc reases the b o d y ' s

strength ability to react quickly. In

the study, the f ac to r of recur r ing

episodes of love interest is not men-

t ioned, but it is someth ing that de -

serves s o m e examina t ion .

At Hope col lege, the ep i tome of

exc i tement and physical exer t ion is

the Pull, an annual compet i t ion that

matches the raw strength and m o -

rale of two groups . In this arena of

ex t reme bodily stress, the release of

hormones f r o m the adrenal gland

could af fec t the lives of the pul lers

and their moralers .

There is a def in i te bond be tween

a puller and his morale girl. Bes ides

relaying the coach ' s messages to the

puller, the mora lers do m a n y tasks

to comfor t the pullers and ease their

strain.

"I wiped sweat , b lood, and snot

off his face. Also there w e r e tears. I

had to find th ings to talk about to

keep his mind off the rope , " said

Erin S e l m e r ( ' 0 0 ) , r eca l l i ng the

tasks she did fo r her pul le r Matt

VanDam COO). They have now been

dat ing for a year.

"He told m e that w h e n we first

said . "I d i d n ' t feel that. Then w e

pulled together, and it changed my

mind . "

Mora le girl T a m m y O k m a ( ' 93 )

marr ied her puller. She and her hus-

band Malt O k m a ( ' 9 3 ) were in pit

one, and that is where she r emem-

bers their relat ionship beginning.

" T h e pull was over and we had

w o n that sophomore year," she said.

"I was so exci ted about winn ing , 1

gave Matt a kiss never even realiz-

ing what I had done . I will never

forget the look on his face a f te r that

m o m e n t . "

John Du Mez ( ' 52 ) met his wife

of 44 years on the rope.

" W h e n it c a m e l ime to chose one

[morale girl], I s aw that cute girl

w h o was in my Bible class," he said.

"1 d idn ' t even know her name, but

I said to the coach . T i l pick that

one ' and pointed to her. I found out

that her n a m e w a s Rae Eustace . I

had no idea that I was picking her

fo r life... Rae is still m y morale girl

a f te r 4 9 years . "

T h e exci tement and exert ion ap-

pear to build a wonde r fu l c loseness

be tween a puller and his morale girl.

Brice Berge thon ( ' 9 6 ) dated and

t h e n s u b s e q u e n t l y m a r r i e d h i s

moraler . A m y Siebert ( ' 96 ) . They

pu l l ed the i r f r e s h m a n yea r w i t h

other people , and then were in the

s a m e pit on the sophomore team.

They told of a relat ionship that

deve lops be tween all m e m b e r s of

the team. T h e g r o u p seems to func-

tion with a certain unity that c o m e s

wi th the long hou r s spent at the

s a m e task.

" W e all | i h e en t i re pull t eam]

Pull, not because w e had something

in our past that was c o m m o n , but

because w e all b e c a m e such great

But a m o n g this g r o u p of grea t

f r iends , the Berge lhons fell in love.

"We didn ' t start dat ing right away

af te r the Pull because w e needed to

make sure it wasn ' t just the emo-

tion of winning whi le together, but

we kept c o m i n g up with excuses to

see each other," S ieber t -Bergethon

said.

H o w e v e r , not all p u l l e r s a n d

mora lers that have fal len in love

worked in the same pit with each

other.

A m y Strassburger ( ' 98 ) w a s not

the mora ler of Andy Sill ( ' 98 ) their

f r e shmen year. But they did meet

on the team and felt a c lose bond

there.

S u m m e r memor i es inspire scholarship fo r Cal i fornians SALLY SMITS staff reporter

For some people, s u m m e r m e m o -

ries l inger long into the year.

For Mar ian Swortze l , they lasted

a l i fet ime.

When she w a s young , she spent

m a n y w a r m s u m m e r s at L a k e

M a c a t a w a wi th he r f a m i l y . A n d

though she n e v e r a t t ended H o p e

Col lege and lived most of her life

in Cal i fornia and Hawai i , she never

forgot the impress ions the Hol land

area left with her.

"She hadn ' t been back here fo r

fifty years or more. But she r emem-

bered someth ing about Hope . " said

Scott Wolterink, regional advance-

ment director at Hope.

Swortzel contacted Wolterink last

year to tell him that she would like

to support s tudents f r o m her small

communi ty w h o wanted to attend

Hope Col lege .

She a lways had a love for educa-

tion and graduated f rom the Univer-

sity of Michigan with a triple ma-

jo r in art. history, and English. From

there she cons idered a teaching ca-

reer, but instead devoted herself to

her family.

She did cont inue all through her

l ife to keep up her interests in art,

history, and travel. It was mainly her

g r a n d f a t h e r ' s c r e a t i v i t y that al-

lowed her to do so. He invented the

squarQ-bottomed grocery bag and

set up the paper mil ls to p roduce

them. Th i s invent ion secured his

g r a n d d a u g h t e r fo r l i f e . A n d a l -

though Swortze l never did become

a formal educator , she still kept her

passion for teaching, and she en-

j o y e d b e i n g a pa r t of he r th ree

ch i ldren ' s educat ion .

This past April , Swortzel passed

away in her late eighties, bul the gift

she left for Hope is just beginning.

T h e va lue she saw in educat ion

and the arts and her love for Hol-

land and Hope are perfectly blended

in what is n o w titled the Mar ian

Vaughn Swortzel Scholarship Fund.

T h e g i f t i t s e l f w i l l p r o v i d e

$ 1 0 0 , 0 0 0 a n n u a l l y fo r the n e x t

thirty years, and Swortzel intended

it to cover every aspect of a col lege

educat ion: tuition, room and board,

tex tbooks , travel, and some other

expenses .

S t u d e n t s f r o m the S i e r r a a n d

Y o s e m i t e H i g h S c h o o l s in

Swor tze l ' s home town will be given

first p reference for the scholarship.

If no el igible s tudents f r o m those

schools dec ide to apply, then stu-

dents f rom e lsewhere in Cal i forn ia

will be cons ide red . Swor tze l has

also set up a s imilar scholarship for

the University of Michigan, and she

has left several o ther gi f ts for edu-

cational insti tutions near her home-

town.

"This is a very substantial gift for

Hope . " Wolterink said.

Swortzel lived a rich life, invest-

ing herself in her love of history,

travel, the arts, and most of all. her

family.

And . beginning in 1998. she will

be invest ing herself and her legacy

in ihe many lives for thirty more

years .

Matt Hassenrik ('00) and Blair Richards ('99) scored a pair of goals while Clayton Bergsma ('00) and Sean Toohey ('00) each netted one. The team is now 6-1 overall.

letes, Rodr iguez will also leach two

athletic training pract iums and both

the introductory and advanced ath-

letic in jury assessment c lasses .

Rodr iguez had served as the head

athletic trainer for the last several

years at Florida Institute of Tech-

nology in Melbourne , FL. H e did

h i s u n d e r g r a d u a t e w o r k at

H a v e r f o r d C o l l e g e and M a s t e r ' s

work at Indiana State University. In

addit ion to his work at the Division

II level at Florida Tech, Rodr iguez

has also served at the Division I and

clinical levels.

Rodriguez was drawn to Hope for

many reasons.

"The opportuni ty to teach again

w a s a real plus. H o p e is a lot l ike

the p lace I went to school and that

part appealed to me , " he said. "Hav-

ing two people on staff , my hope

was to help improve the quality of

l ife with my family, which so far it

has . H o p e ' s c o m m i t m e n t to the

family and its communi ty values,

those things were important to me . "

Rodr iguez sees the di f ferences in

working with col lege athletics on

var ious levels.

"The road to success at Division

I is littered with a lot of bodies. The

road to success at Division II. there

probably aren ' t as many bodies on

that road. At Division III you don ' t

necessarily toss people aside for the

sake of winning."

Because Ray and Rodr iguez are

both associate head athletic train-

ers and ult imately share responsi-

bilities in both the D o w Center and

Fieldhouse training rooms, one of

the b igges t cha l l enges so far has

been communica t ion .

" (Rodr iguez) and 1 have to talk

all the t ime throughout the day re-

garding the various cases and sta-

tus of s tudent-athletes as they im-

p r o v e f r o m d a y to d a y o r ge t

gone pretty well. I also think that

w e ' r e go ing to f igure out be l t e r

ways to do it as t ime goes on ."

T h e s e c o n d half began wi th a

scare of large propor t ions .

On G r a h a m ' s second carry of the

fell silent as trainers rushed to his

side.

Graham w a s then taken off the

Disc of Passion Forgcl bowling, ballroom danc-

ing, and underwater pumpkin carv-ing — Frisbee golf is the new sport

for the Olympics. Over the past weekend. I had the

opportunity to play the first round

of my Frisbee golf career. So I grabbed my friendly Edi-

tor-in-Chief, Glyn Williams, and

set out for the course at hand.

Anyone who saw us, knows the

perils that our flying discs took.

At this moment I would like to

apologize to the two women who I basically decapitated with my

blue disc of death. It was my first

lime. I think I also inadvertently killed

a squirrel. The little guy limped

away so fast a f t e r I hit h im, I

couldn't see if he was alright.

No one ever forgets their first

time, and I won ' t be any different.

1 shot something like 50 over par

(I stopped counting after the sec-ond hole).

My round was almost cut short as well when one of those lawn

mowing automobiles about shred-

ded the poor Frisbee into nothing.

But I figured if the Cosmos can

keep playing, so can I.

The sport that has captured Hope

by storm every year has a sort of

addicting flavor to it.

Once you start you can ' t stop. No matter how many times I lost

the darn thing in the bushes, or

how many times I would whip the

thing, only to have it roll back to

my feet, I became excited at every

hole. Wind ve loc i ty , ang le s , and

rough became vital.

Let Tiger Woods take me on. Let him weave his way around

DeWitt, with a Nike disc. Let him

try his long driving on each of the

holes. I am Frisbee golf. I now know my calling. Each

night while everyone is asleep in

their residence halls, I will be

prodding the course, learning ev-ery nook and cranny (as soon as

my arm heals; I threw it out on

the second to last hole. Ah. the

danger of sports).

Every time I 'm not out there,

someone else is, looking to beat

me. Perhaps a traveling team will be

made and we can play against the

stars of Miami and San Diego.

Sure the sun and temperatures make it a Frisbee heaven, but let's

see them wrap that disc around a

tree in the Michigan winter. Frisbee golf will always be a

mainstay of Hope. No matter how

many people get hit, or how many

frisbees get lost in bushes or on roofs (hey, I only lost one), the

sport is as big as The Pull. Glyn and myself may never be-

come those superstar Frisbee golf-

ers t ha t you r ead a b o u t in

"PhryzGolf Digest," but the pas-

sion has been installed and may

never extinguish.

Many go crazy over this disc

phenomena, and now I have be-come one of the loyal followers.

Volleyball begins on high note

RAY from I I

"I think that in the short t ime we've been together there's been a

genuine mutual respect because, philosophically, we 've meshed to

a great degree, its been an easy

move. There haven't really been any problems, ju s t s tyl is t ical ly

we're different." Having two cer t i f ied a thlet ic

trainers on staff will benefit both

student-athletes and students in the athletic training education pro-

gram by allowing Rodriguez and

Ray more time to work with injured

athletes and to supervise and in-struct student athletic trainers bet-

ter. ' 'Change is tough for a lot of

people," Rodriguez said. "There are

limes when I wonder, 'Have I made the right choice? ' When I get to

spend time with my family and see

the type of environment that I 'm

working in, those far outweigh any

little operation nuances that may

arise."

If records are any indication, then

Maureen Odland has had no prob-

lem adjusting to coaching at Hope

College.

T h e f i r s t -yea r coach ran her record to 13-0 following the team's

15-9, 15-10, 15-3 defeat of Adrian

College, Thursday, Sept. 18. The victory over Adrian breaks a

Hope record of 15 straight victories,

which dates back to last season.

Hope has also won 27 consecu-tive games, dropping their last one

14-16 to Walsh, Ohio at the Mt.

Union College Invitational. The

t eam is overa l l 39 -2 in g a m e s

played this season.

The Flying Dutch is also ranked eighth in the nation among Division

III teams. The Adr ian win runs H o p e ' s

league record to 2-0, along with

their defeat of Olivet.

Despite the quick start, Odland is

wary to rest on her laurels.

"If anything it puts the pressure

right back on," Odland said. "Any

loss becomes that much more im-

portant." Thursday, the Flying Dutch had

a little trouble getting started against

the visiting Bulldogs. "We should have beaten the team

more handily than we did." Odland

said. "We seem to want a challenge

rather than coming out strong at the

start." Hope started on track as the team

jumped to a 8-3 start. The Bulldogs

then scored four straight points be-

fore a 6-2 run f inished the first

game. The second game seemed to re-

semble the first, as Hope started

with a 4-1 lead. Adrian then went

on a 9-2 run, putting Hope in a 6-

10 hole.

pounds of garbage in a mere span

of one half mile.

"We collected mostly styrofoam, and a lot of plastic and cigarette

butts , loo ," said Knickerbocker member Craig Tommola ( '00).

"One year we found a truck tire,"

said Hemenway. Some common items collecied

include: 612 pieces of foam rubber, 502 cigarette bulls, 350 pieces of

plastic, 210 shotgun shells and wad-dings, and 112 food bags. Three

syringes were also found.

"We found a lot of debris because

of Friday's storm...including hun-dreds of shot gun waddings," said

Kevin Menkin , president of the

Envoronmental Issues Group. Liz Davidson ( '99) was less than

enthusiastic upon spotting a femine
