CIS Topic: Immigration T h e 2007 Critical Issues
S y m p o s i u m will examine
immigrat ion.
"It is o f t en noted that w e are
a nation of immigrants , yet there
are f ew issues which d iv ide us
more than immigra t ion . Recent
figures suggest that more than 11
million illegal residents are in the
U.S; more than 200 ,000 are now
residing in Mich igan , " said Derek
Emerson and Al f redo Gonzales ,
C I S 2007 co-chairs .
Do w e have an obl igat ion to
people want ing to be part of the
U.S .? Do our porous borders
a l low terrorists to enter and harm
this count ry? Can our nat ion 's
health care and educat ional
sys tems provide for the needs of
this rapidly g rowing popula t ion?
Will immigrants take j o b s f rom
current residents? Do other
countr ies bear responsibil i ty
for illegal residents in the U.S.?
Should w e be building a wall
be tween the U.S. and Mexico?
H o w do our policies affect our
relat ions with other nat ions?
T h e 25th C I S is Oct. 2 and
3, 2007. Look for detailed
informat ion before the end of
Apri l .

PANEL: GENDER GAP STILL EVIDENT IN WORKPLACE Kat ie Bennet t S T A F F W R I T E R
An open discuss ion entitled
" W o m e n in the Workplace" w a s
held in Martha Mil ler Tuesday.
Sara De Vries, assis tant d i rector
of career services, coordina ted
the discussion with the help
of the W o m e n ' s P rog ramming
Commi t t ee and several other
w o m e n ' s organiza t ions on
campus . A panel of f ive
profess ional w o m e n spoke to
an aud ience of H o p e students
and communi ty m e m b e r s
about their careers and covered
issues part icularly crucial to
women w h e n enter ing the work
force. T h o u g h the panelis ts
had wide ly varying educat ions
and profess ions , several
consis tent themes pe rmea ted the
discussion.
Many of the panelis ts urged
s tudents to al low l i fe ' s changes
to a f fec t their career plans.
"1 would really underscore
paying attention to wha t your
interests are and where y o u ' r e
d rawn , " said Linda Mi lanowsky,
director of colors, mater ials and
finishes at He rman Miller.
Growing up with role
mode l s w h o were all stay-at-
home m o m s , Mi l anowsky w a s
surprised to find her cal l ing in a
fu l l - t ime adminis t ra t ive j o b .
Lois McAll i s ter Mulder , a
teacher with Hol land Public
Schools , graduated f rom col lege
in the middle of the era of the
an t i -housewife but eventual ly
found her cal l ing in be ing a
s t ay -a t -home-mom whi le raising
chi ldren.
"It took m e until 1 w a s about
30 to finally be able to say 'ok
this is what I really love to d o '
and jus t do it," said McAll i s ter
Mulder. " B e careful that you
don ' t get loo caught up in what
your destination is and en joy the
journey . "
Donna C o m w e l l , execut ive
director of the Cen te r for
Women in Transi t ion, cited a
gap be tween w o m e n and m e n
in the work force today. She
related her exper ience of be ing
interviewed for a j o b by three
male administrators . She
w a s asked, " H o w would your
husband feel about you not be ing
home for dinner ," and " H o w
would your husband feel about
you work ing with other men . "
C o m w e l l a lso noted that
there still is "a bias toward
paying men more fo r the same
j o b . " Jill Jepsen, a profess ional
artist and instructor at Ferris
State University, related s imilar
ev idence of the gender gap in
her profess ion.

$7,500 mascot costume approved Jenny Cencer C A M P U S E D I T O R
"Wha t is a F ly ing Dutch"?
Student Congress President Brad
Matson ( ' 07 ) has been striving
since the summer of 2005 to help
the campus visual ize the mascot
in ways that most col leges are ac-
cus tomed to.
Four rendit ions were des igned
through careful research of Dutch
concepts and expert ise f rom mas-
cot character profess ionals . T h e s e
models for a fu ture mascot were
voted on by the campus c o m m u -
nity last spring.
When a clear image emerged ,
communi ty m e m b e r s from the
Athlet ic Depar tment , Pres ident ' s
Off ice , faculty, s taff an^l s tudents
were consul ted.
The mascot cos tume is esti-
mated to cost S7,500.
On Nov. 7, Student Congress
m e m b e r s voted 16-6 to fund the
cos tume expenses through the
Student Activi t ies Fund .
Representat ives of the Dew
C r e w were also invited to attend
the meet ing.
Je remy Benson ( ' 0 8 ) did not at-
tend the meet ing but said in an in-
terview af te rwards , "I d o n ' t think
Hope Col lege needs a mascot . We

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
SH0EB0XES SPREAD GIFTS, GOSPEL Emily West ra te S T A F F W R I T E R
Chr is tmas is quickly
approaching , and Hope s tudents
can find m a n y ways to help
brighten the hol idays for others .
In con junc t ion with Samar i tan ' s
Purse, C a m p u s Minis t r ies and
Volunteer Services are involving
Hope ' s campus in Opera t ion
Chr i s tmas Child.
T h e p remise is s imple .
Students can pick up a shoebox
at the Student Union Desk ,
the Keppel House or Dimnent
Chapel . Another opt ion is to buy
a small plastic container , so the
child can keep that as well . T h e
participant chooses whether the
gift wil l be for a boy or a girl and
selects an age g roup of 2 to 4, 4
to 9 or 10 to 14 years old. Boxes
can be filled with school suppl ies ,
hygiene i tems and var ious toys.
A personal note or letter can
be included as wel l , somet imes
spurr ing a response f rom the
child.
Hope has been involved with
Operat ion Chr i s tmas Chi ld for
nearly 10 years. Each year,
s tudents turn in an average of 500
boxes , with a record high of 700
boxes. A higher goal was set for
this year ' s collect ion.
" W e ' r e hoping to be able to
collect 800 boxes , " Barb O s b u m
of C a m p u s Ministr ies said.
These boxes will be brought to
Grand Rapids to be collected by
Samar i t an ' s Purse and dispersed
throughout the world. Accord ing
to their websi te , more than 7 .6
million boxes were distributed to
more than 95 countr ies last year.
"Th i s donat ion is someth ing
that is doable for s tudents . It 's
more fun than s imply giving
money , " O s b u m said. "It also
a l lows students to have a piece of
Chr is tmas , even though they ' re
not at home . "
Not only do the children receive
unique gifts, but a lso included in
the shoeboxes are messages of the
Gospel . The gif ts are distributed
through a local church and the
message is wri t ten in the chi ld 's
language.
" I t ' s not jus t a handout of a gif t .
It serves the local church as well
as the families,"- O s b u m said.
T h e due date for r e tuming the
filled boxes is Nov. 15.

Student activities are one of
the m a n y things that highl ight
H o p e a m o n g other four-year lib-
eral arts col leges . H o p e s tudents
are encouraged to lake responsi-
bility fo r their educat ion, i f they
feel there is a gap, they find a w a y
to fill it.
This is how H o p e ' s Ballet
C l u b began. N o w in its second
year, the c lub started with dance
s tudents pass ionate about the art
of ballet and want ing to s tudy it
independently.
"The re ' s a lot of m o d e m (in
the dance curr iculum), so those
of us w h o c a m e from ballet back-
grounds felt like w e w e r e miss ing
out , " Bal le t Club President Sarah
Wil l iams ( ' 0 9 ) said.
T h e c lub focuses on classical
ballet technique by recreat ing
variat ions from works in the bal-
let canon, such as " the Nutc racker
" and " D o n Quixo te . " However , it
does not limit itself to such tech-
erbocker houses the larger
works that require l ighting or
o ther mul t imedia .
T h e process fo r put t ing the
concert together is not an easy
one. In order for their choreogra-
phy to be a l lowed in the p rogram,
s tudents mus t go through a three-
phase ad judica t ion process with
the faculty.
In the first phase , a s tudent
submi t s the idea for his o r her
p iece wi th the beg innings of the
choreography.
In the second phase, the s tu-
dent submits the comple te p iece
for review, and in the third phase ,
the s tudent submits the pieces af-
ter incorporat ing the sugges t ions
and cri t iques of the faculty.
" I t ' s really all about the stu-
den ts , " dance professor Teresa
VanDenend said. VanDenend is
niques . Various c lub m e m b e r s
also teach original choreography
from vary ing ballet backgrounds .
" W e have a mixture of people
f r o m freshmen to seniors w h o
g ive advice to f r e shmen with
ques t ions , " Wil l iams said.
Wi l l iams also emphas ized that
co-coordinat ing the concert with
dance professor Ray Tadio.
The s tudents are also responsi-
ble fo r the l ighting concept . This
semester the s tudents for a light-
ing product ion c lass taught by
Perry Landes will work together
with Erik Alberg, the technical
d i rector fo r the depar tment , to
create l ighting for all the p ieces
shown at the Knickerbocker .
Because the s tudents choreo-
graph their o w n work , the Student
Dance Concer t presents a vast ar-
ray of styles and ideas. In years
past, choreographers have incor-
porated compl ica ted scaf fo ld ing
in the Knickerbocker Thea t re
and have even pain ted on s tage
as a part of a dance . Th i s year
p romises an equal ly interesting
feast for the eyes.

Casfina a broader mi; Ethnic and Asian studies offer new opportunities
Evelyn Danie l F E A T U R E S E D I T O R
T h e racial landscape of the
United States is diverse and rap-
idly changing . Accord ing to the
U.S. Census Bureau, in 2005,
14.5 percent of Amer i cans w e r e
Latino, 12.1 percent w e r e black
and 4.3 percent w e r e Asian.
"Amer i ca is becoming increas-
ingly mul t icul tura l ,"
said Professor Jesus Montafio. di-
rector of the Hope Col lege ethnic
s tudies program. " A s Amer icans
w e are increasingly a w a r e of the
va lues of mult icultural ism to the
social body in general and to the
Hope s tudent in part icular."
Wi th , that mind set, Mon-
tano and other
m e m b e r s of the Hope communi ty
set out to create a curr iculum that
would better prepare s tudents for
a dynamic , global ized world.
In 2005, the col lege approved
a new e thnic s tudies minor. Stu-
dents can choose ei ther an e m -
phas is on the Amer i -
cas, including Lat ino
and Latin Amer ican
studies, or an e m -
phasis on Afr ican and Afr ican-
Amer ican studies. T h e minor
includes courses in literature, his-
tory, polit ics, psychology and so-
ciology. -
7 see this as a maturing of our curriculum.
We could not have done something like this
that def in ing a cultural g roup by
how they dress and what they
think in the 'old count ry ' cannot
get us very far down the road ,"

said C h u c k Green , pro-
fessor of psycho logy
and director of the Phelps
Scholars program. "Th i s

s o m e t h i n g
to s h o w
for what
t h e y ' v e
done, some-
thing* to put
on their resumes .
I t ' s a great w a y to
pull together those
courses ."
T h e minor also created a
n e w Introduction to Ethnic Stud-
ies course, taught by Montano ,
that s tudies cultures and ethnici-
t ies wi th in the U.S. and in their
g l o b a l
context .
" W e
s t r o n g -
ly be-
l i e v e
said. "We
need, in
a d d i t i o n ,
to think
about the ; i m p o r t a n t
ways in which a cultural g roup
will look at the wor ld in different
ways, the w a y s in which di f ferent
cultural g roups interpret the same
event or objec t in comple te dis-
agreement . "
M o n t a n o bel ieves that the
minor will a lso help m a k e Hope
more attractive to minor i ty stu-
dents and faculty.
"The historical reality is that
Hope Col lege has had t rouble re-
crui t ing and retaining faculty and
students of color ," M o n t a n o said.
"This inclusive learning c o m m u -
nity, w e felt, would be attractive
to all faculty and students, espe-
cially to historically underrepre-
sented m e m b e r s of our society."
Because the ethnic studies mi-
nor focused primari ly on Lat ino
and Af r i can-Amer ican studies, an
addi t ional minor, in Asian s tud-
ies, was approved for 2006-2007

This spring semester , a n e w
upper- level English class is be ing
o f fe red at Hope : E N G L 371- I r i sh
Literature. Th i s four-credi t class,
taught by Professor Julie Kipp,
will sat isfy the s a m e requirement
as British Literature I.
K i p p has been teaching at
Hope s ince 1998, and while she
special izes in British Li terature
and Romant ic i sm, she plans on
"br idg ing Romant ic i sm and Irish
l i terature" with this
course .
Kipp also has
close ties with
Ireland; whi le do-
ing graduate work
at Not re Dame ,
Kipp had the op-
portunity to work
with scholars special izing in I r i s h
studies. Also, Kipp has traveled
to Ireland m a n y t imes to visit her
f r iends and attend conferences .
"I am very fond of Ireland,"
Kipp said
Students enrol led in this course
should expect a unique learning
exper ience .
"In Ireland they pursue educa-
tion for its o w n sake (and) talk is
very m u c h va lued ," Kipp said.
Thanks to this Irish f r eedom
of thought , Kipp said, " T h e class
will be discussion based, supple-
mented by lecture, and students
"In Ireland they pursue
educationJor its own sake
(and) talk is very much
valued."
P r o f e s s o r Ju l ie K i p p
will be responsible for a lot of
conversa t ion . "
Students wil l encounter more
exper imenta l ass ignments instead
of tradit ional essays, though writ-
ing wil l still be an integral part o f
the course.
Irish Literature will be a 19th
and 20th century survey, an ex-
plorat ion of political, rel igious
(especial ly Cathol ic and Protes-
tant) and gender-related issues
present in Ireland. T h e class will
focus on the historical context of
the texts used.
Kipp p lans on
us ing Irish au-
thors George Ber-
nard Shaw, Wil-
liam Yeats, James
Joyce , Seamus
Heaney. Samuel
Beckett and Sean
O 'Casey , as wel l as several fe-
male and lesser-known wri ters , to
help s tudents grasp the essence of
Irish culture.
T h e goal of this class. Kipp
said, is to "try to immerse our-
selves in the Irish experiences in
as many ways possible, (utilizing)
culinary, musical or other means ."
While this class m a y not come
back for at least another t w o years
a f te r the spring semes ter (due to
course jugg l ing in the English
depar tment ) , it will be a match-
less opportuni ty fo r the students
enrolled.

any dancer and ask, " W h a t is m o d e m
d a n c e ? " I ' d bet m y tuit ion m o n e y y o u ' d
get a d i f ferent answer f rom each one.
Bel ieve it or not, this is not on purpose .
There is no a l l -powerfu l dance consor t ium
perched on high plott ing against the average
dance enthusiast (or danc e r ' s boyf r i end) to
punish them through utter confus ion and/
or boredom.
However , the term has a history and an
intent. W h e n Isadora Duncan and Ruth St.
Denis (p ioneers of m o d e m dance) began
traipsing about the stage free of t radt ional
convent ions , the public had no clue wha t to
do with them or their art. The i r m o v e m e n t
w a s an evolut ion; n e w ideas based on old
principles. It w a s m o d e m . So tha t ' s what
they called it.
Dor is H u m p h r e y (another m o d e m dance
p ioneer) wri tes in her book, "The Art of
Mak ing Dances , " that it o f t en m a k e s little
d i f fe rence to an audience wha t a dance is
about . Apparent ly , she had yet to encounte r
the sophist icated Hope aud iences w h o
cannot seem to focus on any th ing else.
Analyzing dance can be like trying to
find the meaning of life. Sometimes, it hits
you right away like a light illuminating
the darkness. Other times, it intrigues you,
pulling at your consciousness and leading
you on a j o u m e y to reveal what you most
want to know when you least expect it. And
still other times, watching a dance can feel
like walking into a pitch-black room. You
stumble around zombie-like with your hands
in front of your body, searching for the light
swi tch—but before you can find it, the dance
is over and you ' re still in the dark.
It doesn ' t have to be this way. In each
dance there is something to appreciate. Spend
less t ime trying to figure it out and more time
paying attention to what is before you.
There is so much to be aware of; the
beauty or ugl iness of a part icular shape;
the kind of energy that the dancers give
of f as they m o v e f r o m place to place;
or that one dancer tha t ' s o f f by herself
w h e n eve ryone else is doing someth ing
comple te ly d i f ferent (did she screw up or is
it supposed to be that way?) . T h e s e are all
things any audience m e m b e r can recognize
and appreciate.
So the next t ime you go to a dance show,
say the Student Dance Concer t Nov . 20 and
21 at 8 p.m. in the Knickerbocker Theater ,
g ive yoursel f a break. You don ' t have to
have all the answers . You d o n ' t even have
to have some of them.
Dance is one area in your l ife r ight now
w h e r e you really can sit back, relax, and
en joy the r ide—or not, because that is ok
too. However , miss ing out on art is not ok.
W h o knows , you m a y get an autograph that
could be wor th someth ing someday.

Hope's community is special To t h e E d i t o r :
People o f t en ask m e w h y I
chose to attend Hope Col lege
over all the o thers schools that
I w a s consider ing. M y answer
to that quest ion is the people .
I bel ieve that the people of
Hope Col lege m a k e it the school
of exce l lence that it is. A s I w a s
taking the "prospec t ive student
tou r" t w o years ago , this was
very evident to me. I saw people
s topping o thers on their w a y to
class, mos t of t hem laughing or
smil ing. I w a s greeted several
t imes by s tudents , facul ty and staff
w h o asked m e how m y visit w a s
going . There w a s a genu ineness
that 1 saw in H o p e ' s communi ty .
I have yet to see the Hope spirit
fade or dwindle . I cont inue to
see m y fe l low H o p e c o m m u n i t y
m e m b e r s happy to see one
another on a day- to-day basis . I
constant ly see h u g s given out,
and kind words be ing exchanged
whe reve r I go. Everyday, I hear
genuine laughter c o m e f r o m deep
wi th in the lungs o f m y Hope-
mates . Daily, I am greeted by
the smi les of those a round me.
Being a s tudent is not easy.
Of t en , it is one of the mos t
s tressful t imes that a person will
encounte r dur ing h is o r her life.
T h e exci tement and energy that I
see everyday on H o p e ' s c a m p u s
constant ly r enews m y spirit and
g ives m e energy to keep press ing
on dur ing this tough t ime of
m y life. I bel ieve in Hope ' s
people . I bel ieve that they are
special . I see the unmis takab le
j o y and love for life and others
that H o p e ' s c o m m u n i t y has . I
have chosen H o p e Col lege , and
it has m a d e all the d i f ference .

NEXT? As Howard Dean put it, "Booya!"
Annika Carlson
By all measures , this mon th ' s mid te rm
elect ions brought sweeping success fo r
Democra t s : We took the House . We took
the Senate . We took six governorsh ips
from Republ icans . Pretty much any w a y
you cut it, w e won.
In general , this means a lot less is going
to get done in Washington. Dur ing the first
six years of Bush ' s re ign, his w h i m s w e r e
bols tered by a House and Senate which
both had Republ ican major i t i es—and
whi le it w a s n ' t necessari ly a rubber s t amp
for every th ing Bush had in mind, a lot of
conservat ive legislation wen t through the
sys tem wi thout a snag. Consider , fo r ex-
ample , the fact that Bush has only used his
execut ive veto power once: on a bill which
eased restrictions on embryonic s tem cell
research.
N o w that he ' s not backed by a Repub-
lican legislature. Bush and his veto power
are go ing to be see ing a lot more of each
other. T h e Amer ican system of govern-
ment was des igned to m o v e s lowly and
inefficiently, and with Washington divided
be tween two parties, tha t ' s exact ly w h a t ' s
go ing to happen.
So w h y am 1 worr ied? Just like every
political junk ie , I ' m a l ready looking ahead
to 2 0 0 8 — t h e next presidential elect ion.
Democra t s w e r e handed a significant man-
date this fall, and if the par ty fai ls to live
up to its image as an agent for change,
winn ing in ' 0 8 is go ing to be near ly im-
possible. S ince a divided government will
m a k e it hard for Democra t s to achieve the
re fo rms on which they campa igned . Dem-
ocrats will have to work twice as hard to
mainta in their integrity to voters.
T h e best w a y for Democra t s to achieve
wha t they promised voters—par t icular ly a
pragmat ic wi thdrawal f rom Iraq and more
fiscal responsibil i ty in Congres s—is to
reach across the aisle and work with Re-
publ icans . Instead of buying into the ex-
t remely partisan polit ics practiced in D.C.
recently. Democra t s should s tep up as bi-
partisan leaders, integrating c o m p r o m i s e
into the plans they put forward on Iraq,
the economy, educat ion and count less
other issues discussed in campa igns this
fall. If Democra t s try to push their agenda
through by fo rce and political games . Bush
will veto their a t tempts and they ' l l damage
their credibi l i ty with voters .
Closer to home, S tabenow and Gran-
holm face the same cha l l enges—though
pressures are admit tedly higher for the
governor s ince Dick DeVos was a much
tougher candidate to beat than Michael
Bouchard . In G r a n h o l m ' s case, cont inuing
to enact her j o b s plan and finding money
in the budget to devote to long-term edu-
cation investment are key s teps in proving
that her long-term vision for Michigan is
on track.
T h e worst th ing Democra t s could do
right now is rest on their laurels: winning
an election should be the start of the hard
work , not the end. I hope to see that work
ethic reflected in the many newly elected
Democra t s as they reach Washington, D.C.
in January.

crats.

Last Tuesday, voters in the state of

G r a n h o l m despi te the s tate 's be leaguered

graduates are left with f e w e r opt ions to

Liberal tsunami
ing from the s tate 's economic ashes is Sen.
Debbie Stabenow. Rid ing the wave of her
successful b id to r ename a Detroit federal
bui lding, the incumbent Senator n o w has
another six years to prove her passion for
Mich igan .
T h e Republ ican Party in Michigan has
once again been relegated to local control
in the bulk of West Michigan. From this
posit ion, however , the conservat ives have
the oppor tuni ty to bols ter the s ta te ' s eco-
nomic s tanding through the m e d i u m s of
pr ivate enterpr ise and urban growth. In
con junc t ion with the Democra t i c -con-
trolled state government . Republ ican lead-
ers should strive to boost Mich igan cities
by pass ing fiscally conservat ive pol ic ies
on the local level. When successfu l , this
policy can and should be used as an exam-
ple to Democra t ic state leaders in Lansing.
Moreover , Republ icans must m a k e the
mos t of and showcase their success in the
places where they remain in control . As the
jou rney to 2008 begins, be careful not to
be "b lown a w a y " by myr iad mov ing vans
dest ined for locales outs ide of Democra t i -
cal ly restrained Michigan.
At the national level, the Amer ican
people have given a clear mandate for
every th ing "no t Republ ican ." Across the
nat ion, the b igges t n e w j o b loss category
is not Michigan manufac tu r ing j obs , but
the Republ ican representat ives , senators
and governors w h o w e r e pink-s l ipped last
Tuesday. Clearly, Amer i cans wan t change
— a n idea that Democra t s rallied around
this elect ion.
Democra t ic campa igns were based on
an ant i -Republ ican pla t form, cleverly con-
structed by the Democra t ic Nat ional C o m -
mit tee. But will this p la t form sustain the
Democra t s w h e n there are no Republ icans
in power to uni te against? During the next
two years, the Democra t ic Party will have
the opportuni ty to explain how they plan
to put their rhetoric into pract ice. Repub-
l icans should be interested in Democra t i c
plans for educat ion , health care. Social Se-
curity and the war in Iraq.
Republ icans mus t be wil l ing to work to-
ward bipartisan solut ions to the problems
the nation will cont inue to face . The Dem-
ocrats have lived as the minor i ty voice, and
Republ icans must learn to do the same.
With the D e m o c r a t s ' e levated status in
the Sena te and House of Representat ives ,
they now have the opportuni ty to prove
that they are deserving o f the pres idency
in 2008 . Keep this in mind when p rob lems
arise dur ing the next two years.

Israel's security wall illegal, 'destroys' Palestinian lives T o t h e E d i t o r :
In light of recent act ivi t ies
concern ing Palest ine and
ques t ions arising f r o m the
Hope Col lege communi ty , and
in ul t imate disgust to a French
minister, I have dec ided to wri te
this brief letter to push forward
the awareness abou t the apartheid
wal l be ing buil t in Palestine.
For the last five years, the
terrorist state o f Israel has been
bui lding a 400-mi le wall a round
the West Bank, annexing and
s teal ing 50 percent of the land for
its o w n benefi t . Whi le doing so
without any remorse or sympathy,
they destroyed houses , bui ld ings
and vi l lages to build this wal l ;
anything on its path has been
des t royed and leveled.
T h e wall is be ing built
according to wel l -organized p lans
that benefi t Israelis, and destroy
the lives of Palest inians. T h e wal l
starts nor th of the West Bank and
goes a long a "z igzag" line inside
the Palest inian territory, engul f ing
illegal Israeli se t t lements (that
are occupy ing Pales t in ian-owned
land) on its w a y before go ing on
to engul f s o m e env i ronmenta l
resources (wate r wdlls and
agricultural lands) and cont inues
until it reaches Jerusa lem be fo re
going on d o w n to the south of the
West Bank .
In Jerusa lem, it goes around
local ne ighborhoods and annexes
more land. In do ing so, they do
not care if your off ice and house
are found on the same side of the
wal l or not, leaving most of the
Palest inian populat ion in huge
residential p roblems. T h e wal l
does the same with Hebron , whi le
it bes ieges Be th lehem from the
rest of the wor ld .
So, in the end, the wal l
encapsula tes more than 4 mil l ion
Palest inians in 13 percent of the
4 2 percent of the West Bank ; in
other words , it is the wor ld ' s
largest concentrat ion c a m p wi th
the h ighes t world dens i ty per
square mile.
It is supposed to have doo r s
to let Palest inians out ; however ,
their work t imes are not def ined
and permiss ion to pass through
these doors would require 3 to 5
years of paperwork , even if it is
to go out and talk with your fa ther
w h o is s o m e w h e r e else in this
world.
T h e e f fec t s of this wal l are
lethal and devastat ing; lost
agricultural fields are leading
to increased pover ty rates,
worker s not able to travel to
their work p laces is leading to
huge unemploymen t rates, and
students not able to c o m m u t e
is threa tening their educat ion.
The re are o thers consequences to
this wal l , but the most direct and
relevant are these.
This wal l has been deemed
illegal by the International Cour t
of Just ice, the EU and the U.S.
T h e U N and m a n y other g roups
have been acting in vain s ide by
s ide with the nat ions of the wor ld
to s top this a t rocious terrorist
behavior. However , it is a lmost
finished and no one can s top it or
is ta lking about it.
You thought the Berl in Wall
w a s bad; this is even w o r s e — 2 5
feet high and 5 feet of thick
concrete . I encourage you to help
us fight back this wal l by b e c o m i n g
more aware and us ing your
tongue; m a k e more people aware
of it and write your polit icians.

LOOKING FORWARD: DUTCH PREPARE FOR NEW SEASON Women's basketball preview Nick Hinkle C O P Y E D I T O R
Last season ' s 30 consecut ive
wins. 14 straight h o m e w ins
and six N C A A tournament wins
led to a victory at the N C A A
C h a m p i o n s h i p s in Springfie ld
Mass. Now, the Hope w o m e n ' s
basketball team enters its 2006-
2007 season as de fend ing national
champions .
Last year, Hope defea ted
Southern Maine to c la im the
N C A A title. T h e successfu l
j o u r n e y to the championsh ip game
w a s at tr ibuted to past exper ience
and dedicat ion.
' T h e j o u r n e y w a s the
culminat ion of many years of
hard work by previous players
and coaches . We had been very
c lose to the final four on a couple
of occas ions and last year w e
were able to get over the h u m p , "
coach Brian Morehouse said.
" O u r depth and talent made the
d i f fe rence . "
Morehouse is en ter ing his 1 Ith
season as Hope ' s head coach. His
leadership p layed a key role in the
t eam ' s success .
"I had a lot of confidence in our
players to perform under pressure,"
Morehouse said. " (The players)
embraced the big moments . They
loved the crowds and pressure."
Morehouse embraced last
yea r ' s season but does not forget
to recognize the team and its
players for their role in winn ing
the championsh ip .
' T h e players deserve all
the credit. I never scored one
basket or snared one r ebound , "
M o r e h o u s e said. ' T h e y were all
great compet i to r s . "
This season the Dutch will
need to use their past exper ience
and repeal last yea r ' s clutch
pe r fo rmances to de fend their title
as national champions .
Al though the Dutch had great
success last season, the past will
nof be a focus for this year. This
season the Dutch will focus on
team cohes iveness and taking
their g a m e s one at a t ime.
"Last year was an amazing year,
but this is a new team. We have
new players, and w e are trying to
gel this group together," Morehouse
said. "We are focused on this year
instead of looking back."
Along with playing one game at
a time, Morehouse will utilize his
bench as much as possible. Every
player will see s o m e playing t ime.
"I recruited (athletes) to c o m e
here and play. If w e have 15 good
players , w h y wou ld 1 have eight
to ten of them sit and not p l ay?"
Morehouse said.
Morehouse bel ieves this
coach ing method keeps the team
fresh, wears the opponen t d o w n ,
and prepares t eammates to s tep in
for players with injur ies or foul
trouble.
In conf ron t ing di f ferent
players, coach ing strategies and
scenarios, Hope st icks to the
fundamen ta l s for each game .
" (Hope ) a lways focuses on
the s a m e things in games : out-
rebounding the opponen t , holding
their field goal percentage d o w n ,
and keep ing our turnovers to a
m i n i m u m , " M o r e h o u s e said.
