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-

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

several years on 'mind/body ' medi-
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
people are happier.
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-
ion Research Cen te r since 1 9 7 2 . 2 8
percent of those w h o never attend
church declared themse lves Very
happy, ' as did 39 percent of those
at tending weekly and 4 7 percent of

w e e k l y . " A c c o r d i n g t o t h e
N e w s w e e k art icle, regu la r a t ten-
dants of re l ig ious services s m o k e
less and are less d e p r e s s e d than
non-a t t endan t s . Jess D i B e r n a r d o
( ' 0 6 ) wou ld agree with these f inds.
" ( R e l i g i o u s p e o p l e ) m i g h t be

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

Winkler says his exper iences at
Hope inf luenced his decis ion to go
into urban ministry. Accord ing to
Winkler , he wen t on three spring
break trips whi le at Hope . His first
mission trip to Honduras made him
think about missions as a career op-

to look for a j o b in the inner city

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 ,

T h e D u t c h m e n also had a simi-

Head ing into the g a m e at Albion,
the Dutchmen held a one-point lead
