EIGHT NEWS FROM HOPE COLLEGE, JUNE 1984 High School and the son of Leonard Weller and Marilyn Pickle, he first at- tended Muskegon Community College and after a couple years transferred his perfect 4.0 to Hope. Despite the switch in schools, the pressure to continue doing well remained, perhaps increased. "I have this personal need to do well.
There is nothing outside that tells me 1 have to do it. And it's something that goes beyond the grade. 1 have to be good at what I'm doing. 1 think we all should strive to be the best we can. The problem is I go overboard and I haven't learned a proper balance.” Grappling with the question of how to keep the scales between his academic and social lives in balance is something Well- er has been struggling with for years. He sees abundant opportunitiesto learn, his favorite thing to do, but wants the lux- ury of having his cake and eating it with others. The devoted student believes he studies quite a bit, some days seven to eight hours, others four to five. He says he must work hard at his studies, sinking a lot into his brain by brute force. 'T actually will not give up. I believe it is all a matter of priority. I was finding I had to spend more time studying than I did in high school. But more work, hard- er work, made me find a natural trend. Suddenly I was keeping things in focus.” Weller will habitually stay in one place to study, most likely seated on his bed with a book on his lap and a piece of paper on top. Anywhere else is too dis- tracting for him. Like any other students, however, Weller finds himself fighting periodic bouts of apathy in which he feels free "to be lazy, sit around, watch TV and eat out too much." He's quick to correct himself though. "It bothers me when people perceive of me as being horribly grade-conscious.If I were grade-consciousI would do just enough to get by because that's how I perceive grade-consciousness.Sure, I have to be grade-consciousto get to this point. But when I'm working beyond what I need to in a particular class, there is no grade-consciousnesson my part. I'm working that hard because I enjoy it." If it seems like 95 percent of Weller's time is spent studying or in class, then the other five percent is enthusiastically channelled to selected diversions. Donned in Universityof Michigan garb and sporting the beginnings of a scruffy beard, Weller admits he lives and dies by Wolverine football on Saturday after- noons. Baseball has always been a favor- ite spectator sport for him also. It only seems fitting for a man who loves cal- culation to be interested in a sport so dependent on statistics and percentages. Music is an intrinsic part of Weller's life. In high school he placed his empha- sis on playing the trombone rather than academics.He keeps the old brass pol- ished by playing in Hope's Jazz Band which practices twice a week and gives a couple concerts each semester. Weller also volunteershis time to be a "big brother" to a four-year-old, whom he sees a few times a week. "I read to him, we wrestle and go to the Dow Center. It's really been a very good relationship." And he is a member of PI MU Epsilon, the math honor fraternity. But studying is the center of his schedule. "1 really feel that my purpose as a human being and student is to be ade- quate at a cognitive level. At this stage in my life I seem like a selfish person because 1 want to develop myself first. Until I've done that I'm not ready to do much else." NEWS FROM HOPE COLLEGE, JUNE 1984 NINE League crown caps thriller year

"We leave at 1:30 in the morning and drive up north, near Marion. We get to their breeding ground before dawn and slurp down a cup of coffee with a sandwich. Or a cookie. "The blinds are out maybe 100 yards and we walk to them. What we're doing now is experiencing the dawn. Before it starts to get light, you can hear the courtship flight of the snipe — it's an aerial display and their tail feathersmake a whirring sound so you hear this 'pissssssh,' but you can't see them, it's too dark. "A little bit later you start to hear the Savannah sparrows — an insect-like buzz — and you're picking up all the sounds of dawn before you can actuallysee it. "And then, finally, you get the sound of the prairie chickens — this low booming that comes from the resonating chambers off their throats. It sounds like blowing over a Coke bottle. Or like an oboe. "Finally,your eyes start playing tricks on you and your pupils are big and you start to see a little movement. And it develops until you're able to say for sure, 'Aaaah, there's a chicken,'but you still can't really make it out. "Then finally you see them, along with American bitterns, marsh hawks, short-eared owls. "We watch them all and observe the be- havior of the chickens. And then we go into Marion for one of the world's best breakfasts and get back in time for the 11:30 a.m. class."
