On January 10, 2002 the Campus Life Board denied the Gay-Straight Forum as an official student group for the second time. Last semester. President Bultman appointed a task force to make recommendations about this issue. It was T.S. Eliot who said. "Human kind cannot bear very much reality. " The reality is Hope College (and many other institutions, including our federal government) must make some sort of a decision about homosexuality. This weeks InFocus provides you with the raw materials in the debate over homosexuality on Hope's campus.

It seems like every Anchor editor I have worked for before was constantly writing editorials about how no one was writing letters to the editor. I have tried very hard this past year not to get bogged down in that kind of whining, but come on. There are tons of things going on to be upset about, to be happy about, to be thankful for, to make observations about, and to ask questions about. Don't be afraid to use the letters to the editor sec- tion of the Anchor for those purposes. If it is anything, the Anchor is the only way for you to communicate with the entire campus at the same time. I thank all those who have contributed in the past, and I look forward to en- gaging new issues or exploring new viewpoints in the future.
