never A Dull Moment! SAC EVENTS During our college experience, there come times to set aside the books and take advantage of the many opportunities that college life has to offer. Thus, students at Hope do more than learn - they grow. The social life on campus is designed to provide opportunities for students to interact with other students as well as to develop individual inter- ests. The Social Activities Council, made up entirely of students, bears the primary responsibility for pro- gramming social activities of an all- campus nature. Dances, concerts, the Weekend Film Series, Fantasia and guest entertainers are spon- sored by this committee. Also, tradi- tional events such as Homecoming, Parents Weekend, Winter Week, All- College Sing and Siblings Weekend are brought about primarily through the dedication and hard work of SAC members. SAC successfully strives to cre- ate an environment in which stu- dents can find a diversity of activities to participate in, as well as a mean- ingful atmosphere in which to live. Co-Chairpersons for the 1988- 1989 school year were David White and Diane Tague. Guest entertainer. The Barber and Seville, is an accomplished ventriloquist. Who's the dummy here?

DORE-META-SO-LA-TI-DO All Warmed Up And Ready To Go! IN CONCERT The All-College Sing, which occu- red Friday, November 18th, in the DeWitt Theater, provided an op- portunity for students to partici- pate in a vocal singing competi- tion. Unlike Air Jam - which was held April 7th, 1989 - the All-Col- lege Sing was a test of true vocal ability rather than a lip-sync con- test. Students formed their own groups and then spent many long hours rehearsing their selected numbers in order to polish their performances. Surprisingly, many groups chose to sing well-known songs from past decades, such as the 50 s and 60 s, rather than cur- rent hits. Showing their support for this event, many fraternities and sororities took part in the competi- tion. Rondell Sheridan, a profes- sional comedian hired by SAC, served as a hilarious master of cer- emonies. After a very entertaining night of song, dance, and laughter, Rondell announced the Delta Phi Soroity as the winner of the com- petition, for the second year in a row'. Their name will be engraved on the All-College Sing Plaque, which is displayed in the Mykcrk Hall of Music. Kirk VandcrMolcn led the Praters in their rendition o( My Girl. Activities

A play on words. The Phantom Tollbooth. was a hilarious comedy presented by the freshmen play girls . Elizabeth Kolk. the 92 orator, presented her views on The Mystery of It All. ''Nykerk is a very unifying and rewarding experience. -Rebecca Weigle NYKERK Puttin' on the Ritz ... Now That's Entertainment! The tradition of Nykerk continued again this year on October 29th, in the Holland Civic Center. Working hard for three weeks in preparation for the Nykerk Cup Competition, freshmen and sophomore participants practiced their songs, plays, and orations to perfection. While practicing, the women involved have the opportunity to become very close. In all actu- ality, having secret pals between the classes, and meeting in the middle after the competition of- ten turn out to be greater rewards than winning Nykerk itself. Be that as it may, when the judges' votes had been tabulated, the Sophomore Class of 1991 was awarded the Nykerk Cup. Activities
