KUYPER SCHOLARS PROGRAM NEWSLETTER
June 2015
by Jan Veth
May God grant the Christian scholar in a still higher degree the courage, perseverance, and energy “to go back
to his own principles in his thinking, to renew all scientific investigation on the lines of these principles, and to
glut the press with the burden of his cogent studies.”

Many of the following independent projects were
presented at Ideafest, the annual symposium celebrating
student research.
Discernment and Reconciliation in Debate
Dorothy De Boer
Advisor: Donald Roth, Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice
I had the wonderful opportunity to argue with others. It was
like living in a perfect world….okay, maybe not. But being in the
debate club was certainly a fun learning experience. It provided
an opportunity to learn about different topics and current
events, to become more polished and persuasive as a speaker,
and to get to know people that I might not otherwise have met.
Debate is certainly beneficial for helping one to consider issues
from different perspectives and to discern things from a
Christian perspective. As Christians, it is important for us to be
able to discern all things and to see how they might work for
the reconciliation of mankind to its Creator. Since all issues are
relevant in a world where every square inch is mastered by a
Sovereign God, I believe that debate is a positive and
redeeming activity for all.

Transcribing Speeches for Publication
Hannah DeVries
Advisor: Mary Dengler, Professor of English
The focus of this project is on turning several speeches, in
typed and presentation slide form, into articles for publication
in Pro Rege. The project involves transcribing, reorganizing,
incorporating necessary additional details, and doing general
editing, thus forming them into coherent documents that flow
from beginning to end.

Christian Authors: Past and Present
Tim Martin
Advisor: Jason Lief, Associate Professor of Theology
In this project, I explored the ways in which Christian authors
and the books we as Christians read have changed from the
past to the present - specifically looking at changes from the
1930s onwards. Works examined include: "Cost of
Discipleship", "Mere Christianity", and "Love Wins". The shift
from a modern to postmodern context and the authors’
responses to that shift will be examined in detail. Different
responses will be compared to both each other and Scripture in
hopes of finding a proper response that is culturally relevant
while still staying true to God’s Word.

Developing a Pathogen Test Kit
Deborah Tyokighir
2015 Kuyper Scholars Graduates
Samuel De Groot
Advisor: Darren Stoub, Professor of Chemistry
Wouldn't it be great to have a means of testing for an illness
right on your shelf? What if all you needed to know in order to
interpret the results of this test were the colors red, green, and
blue? Gaussia Luciferase (GLuc) is a molecule that glows (via
chemiluminescence) and has great potential because of its
biological properties. The purpose of this ongoing project is to
alter the amino acid sequence of the GLuc protein in order to
make maximize its lifetime, intensity, and stability. The long
term goal is to create a kit that tests for 3 infections.

Advisor: Pam Hulstein, Professor of Nursing
The act of eating, preparing, and creating food is a science and
an art that intrigues the mind, and affects the health of one’s
body. The goal of my independent study was to learn about
food history, science of taste, diseases related to food intake,
and nostalgia as it relates to taste. With that goal in mind I set
off on a journey that sent in me in varying directions. Culturally,
recipes began being written in the early second century and
evolved in to cookbooks, and later were shared in culinary
schools. To appreciate food one must have a sense of the five
tastes. Each of these tastes serves a purpose in sending signals
to the brain and creating an experience. Medically, diseases
such as Diabetes and Coronary Artery Disease are direct results
of how sugar and fat manipulate the normal body function.
Psychologically, food is able to create an experience that
creates a folder of memory that when the food is eaten again it
creates a sense of nostalgia. Food has both a positive and a
negative effect on the mind and body. How the consumer
chooses to interact with the food will determine the outcome.

This study analyzes the philosophies behind the writings
of several Christian bloggers. It examines the conflicts
(that which moved these people to write), the process
(the transformation of the accounts and narrations of
their lives into transcendental meanings) and the
resolutions (what blogging does to the writers that sets
them apart from those who do not indulge in this art).
The project placed special emphasis in writing practice—
the creation of a blog with several monthly posts— and
reading distinctive blogs throughout the semester. The
researcher’s blog entries and those of the studied
bloggers were compared and the establishment of a
guiding principle for blog writing was also explored.

Exploring the Interaction between Cux1 and Grg4
Mariellen Hofland
Advisor: Tony Jelsma, Professor of Biology
Cux1 is a complex protein that is involved in many
developmental processes in the body and is found in several
different forms in the cell. Various domains (portions) of Cux1
have been tested to understand which specific area of the
protein interacts with other proteins. Based on the work of
past researchers, we know that Cux1 interacts with another
protein (Grg4). Together Cux1 and Grg4 suppress the work of a
third protein (p27kip1) that regulates the cell cycle. Therefore,
the way that Cux1 and Grg4 work together can indirectly have a
big impact on the progression of cell growth. We have already
determined the domain of Cux1 that interacts with other
proteins. Now we want to see which of Grg4’s two domains
(TLE_N or WD40) interacts with Cux1.

Assessment Plan for Music Courses (Ed 336)
Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria
Biology
Leanna Bentz
Advisor: Pat Kornelis, Professor of Education
Music educators are notorious for defending their discipline to
students, colleagues, and the general population. Part of the
reason for this conflict is that music educators often do not
treat their discipline like an educational subject. One of the
major injustices that is done to music courses and students by
teachers is insignificant assessment practices. Music directors
need to develop plans to assess the content and curriculum
that they are teaching to convey the importance of their
discipline and hold students accountable. Assessment in music
performance courses will be complex; however, it is
worthwhile for the concrete benefits that it provides.
Technology in the Literacy Classroom (Eng 306)
Sam De Groot
Advisor: Bill Elgersma, Professor of English
Technology is forever changing secondary student literacy.
Perhaps technology’s largest impact on secondary student
literacy is the creation of a whole new literacy − digital literacy
− that is not currently being addressed in many schools as fully
as it should be. The first part of this study aims to make
teachers aware of the differences between print and digital
literacy as well as the effects each is having on students. The
second part looks at the practical implications of this
awareness − pedagogical guides and practices for developing
students’ digital literacy.

Algebraic Properties of Odd Cycles (Math 343)
Identity Crisis (TA 366)
Yonatan Ashenafi
Megan Ludens
Advisor, Teresa TerHaar, Professor of Theatre Arts
Society constructs many identities that a person can wear, and
most of these reduce people to a single aspect of whom they
are, instead of embracing whole persons. Popular
contemporary plays highlight this journey to find meaning and
identity, and the characters’ journeys often reflect the journey
which many people in modern society go through. Being able
to connect on this level with the people and topics is why these
shows are so wildly popular and significant in culture. Being
placed in a category hinders a person’s ability to reflect on their
true and unique self. Because there is tension between the
perceived person and the actual person, people oftentimes
succumb to one of society’s reduced, concentrated definitions.
Through passions, jobs, core beliefs, and values, the messages
and characters in postmodern theatre, like the people who
make up the world we live in, are weaving a larger narrative of
searching and of hope.
Miracles, Science, or Both? (Bio 310)
Deborah Tyokighir
Advisor, Jeff Ploegstra, Assistant Professor of Biology
What is a miracle? What is science? Do miracles cease to be
exciting when a scientific explanation is found? Does an event,
explainable by science, undermine the power of the Divine?
This work investigates the tension that we have created
between divine action and natural law, using the medieval
Eucharist experience and related scientific findings as an
example of this tension.
Crossings
Advisor: Mike Janssen, Assistant Professor of Mathematics
This paper discusses properties of graphs using algebraic
methods. We concentrate on C2N+1 graphs. From Ellis and
Wilson we found a correspondence between a graph and a ring
as having an edge ideal I generated by xixj where xi and xj are
elements in the ring of the ideal and vertices in the graph
connected by an edge. Ellis and Wilson conjecture that I(t) = It
for 1 ≤ t ≤ N. We attempt to prove this conjecture and explore
some connections of graph theory and ring theory.
What Makes a Heroine? Five Popular Heroines from
British and American Literature (Eng 322)
Natalie Dailey
Advisor: Mary Dengler, Professor of English
In an age where feminism has taken a firm and ever-expanding
hold upon society, it is no surprise that many popular novels
feature strong women characters—often ladies who are
powerful, smart, calculating, beautiful, ridiculously athletic, and
(if they’re lucky) even filthily rich. After watching a few modern
movies and reading a few popular books, however, all the
women begin to look the same, and their ideal lives begin to
look less than realistic and attainable. Have the standards
always been this high for women? What were the standards
before the fast-paced, “gotta have it all” attitude of the 21st
century? This paper will study five women from the history of
literature. Each of the five women in this study reflects the
qualities their time period held to be important, but also
display characteristics that are timeless in their relevancy and
good example. These heroines have been loved by readers for
so many years because of their relatable personalities,
admirable characteristics, and of course their magnetic stories.
These novels both encouraged and recorded the change to
women’s equality.

Family (Fall 2014, Vol. 1)
Stereotypes (Spring 2015, Vol. 2)
Advisor, David Mulder, Instructor of Education
Schools today are based off of a model developed during the
industrial age and thus hold a lot of resemblance to a factory.
This model of school has numerous flaws as it does not address
unique student needs in order that they might blossom. Many
researchers argue that the greatest error of schools is their
tendency to eliminate student creativity, which results in very
little effort from the students. An evaluation of what the
purpose of education is was necessary to change the
paradigm—education is not only about swamping students
with information, making them fit for economic activity in the
future, or being the change in the world, but it is about molding
children into faithful disciples of Christ. Some call for a
complete overthrow of the current system, but this is not a
plausible solution; nonetheless, there are changes that can and
are being made to increase the effectiveness of today’s
education system.

The Biomechanical Basis of Concussions (HHP 204)
Let Thy Food Be Thy Medicine: Diet, Education and
Social Class in Nicaragua (Art 393)
Rebecca Megchelsen
Shelby Herrema
Doug Burg, Assistant Adjunct in Art
To the people of Nicaragua, food is a cultural aspect of which
they are extremely proud and is also an avenue to show care,
hospitality, and love. Traditional foods and practices have
clearly shaped the cultural and culinary identity of the country.
However, the contemporary diet has become problematic in
terms of good health and nutrition, with poor food choices
closely tied to the country’s social class structure and lack of
education. Nevertheless, with dedication, positive attitudes,
and taking everything one step at a time, the relationships
between health, nutrition, social class and education level in
Nicaragua can begin to change for the better.
Anxiety and Knowing Thyself (Core 251)
Peter Hoelsema
Advisor: Luralyn Helming, Assistant Professor of Psychology
The process of thinking about events, self-evaluation, and
metacognition are examined in this paper. Generalized Anxiety
Disorder and its symptoms are considered, as well as two
specific types of anxiety: agoraphobia and social anxiety.
Biological, evolutionary, and developmental causes of anxiety
are examined. Social anxiety is studied in detail as a
representative of the characteristics of anxiety. Both culture
and the church's view of anxiety is critiqued. Finally, a Christian
perspective towards anxiety is examined, concluding that
education and self-examination are important for
understanding anxiety.
Reflection on Reading Levels and the Writing
Process (Ed 155)
Jahn Kuiper
Advisor: Ed Starkenburg, Professor of Edcuation
I was interested to know how reading levels are constructed
and how they are designed to help further student’s learning.
In my research I discovered the possibility of two things: either
the concept of reading levels is grossly under researched or
those who construct them are horrendously tight-lipped on
defending the implications of their decisions. Through this
research and storytelling process I found that scales and
measures provide the bare bones framework for challenging
students’ reading level. While they can provide a starting point,
they shouldn’t be relied upon more than that. Good literature
demands multiple interactions, each with a slightly different
view point. So teachers and students should not mistake good
literature that is complex for something that is beyond the
students’ reading level. In doing this diligently, students can
reach the goals that reading levels have strived to achieve.
Advisor: Adam Conway, Assistant Football Coach
The purpose of this study was to understand concussions from
a biological perspective by pinpointing the cause of brain
damage at a cellular level and understanding how the
symptoms of concussions are directly tied to the areas of the
brain that were damaged. At a cellular level, brain damage
occurs because of a neurometabolic cascade, or unregulated
ion flow, that occurs immediately after a concussion, causing a
cellular energy crisis and disrupting neurons. Different types of
concussions cause this to happen in different areas of the
brain, affecting what types of symptoms are experienced.
Managing Transition Diseases in Dairy Cattle (Ag
234)
Ellen Westover
Advisor: John Olthoff, Professor of Agriculture
Dairy cows experience a deep negative energy balance during
the transition from the dry cow period to the fresh cow period.
This negative energy balance leaves cows susceptible to a host
of metabolically linked diseases, such as ketosis and milk fever.
Each of these metabolic diseases leaves the cow more
susceptible to the others. Many of these diseases are also
closely associated with the high levels of milk production that
are currently seen in the dairy industry. Through careful
nutritional management of cows throughout all stages of
lactation, the incidence of these diseases can be greatly
reduced.
Phenomenology: A Short Introduction (Phil 304)
Kyle Roelofs
Advisor: Neal De Roo, Associate Professor of Philosophy
Phenomenology’s basic definition is the study of phenomena.
Phenomena are given to a subject through experience.
Phenomenology examines the very act of experiencing.
Phenomenology has a manifold of different branches:
phenomenology of consciousness, phenomenology of
perception, etc. In this paper, I will supply a few elementary
definitions of phenomenology; show the difference between
the natural attitude and the phenomenological attitude; and
describe the basic structure of the subject: the living present,
and the microstructures of which it is composed.

Marley, Garfield, and Me: The Human-Animal
Bond (Core 252)
Kathleen Tazelaar
Advisor: Luralynn Helming, Assistant Professor of Psychology
There are many anecdotes of
people and animals interacting, in
some cases using the word "bond"
to explain the interaction. This
human-animal bond is a relatively
new field in comparative
psychology. However, the bond has
existed since ancient times, even
into prehistory, sometimes by
domestication and sometimes not.
From a Christian perspective, this
bond has existed since God instituted the cultural mandate,
and will continue until the second coming of Christ. This paper
will cover humans -- whether children, scientists, volunteers, or
other people -- bonding with cats, dogs, horses, parrots,
snakes, and even chickens, and the impact this bond has had
on our Western society and why we form the bonds.
Alone in the Universe: An Analysis of David
Fincher’s Worldview as Portrayed in His Feature
Filmography
Jonathan Janssen
Joshua Matthews, Associate Professor of English
Film director David Fincher has been called a “master of
exploring the bleakest side of humanity” and he is known for
“directing dark, hyperstylized movies.” Most of Fincher’s films
appear to be somewhat based in these original ideas of
darkness, bleakness, and labyrinthine plots. From his 1990s
work to his late 2000s films, a definite division is seen: the
mood of Fincher’s films changes drastically. I argue that the
main theme that links together his films is a nihilistic rejection
of true friendship. Fincher’s films all portray, to some extent,
the idea that any relationships one shares with others are
fleeting. In the end, the only person one can unfailingly rely on
is oneself. And this point, to Fincher, is clear: if your life is
characterized by pushing others away, the world will forsake
you and you will be alone.
Views on the Grand Canal (Core 140)
Annika Henckel
Advisor: Walker Cosgrove, Assistant Professor of History
The Grand Canal is a great engineering feat that was built over
2,500 years ago. The building of this extensive canal system is
viewed in opposing views depending on whether the person
finds that the finished product has higher value than the cost it
took to build it. Some find that the brutality inflicted on the
workers is outweighed by the economic and political influence
that China gained through the Grand Canal.
Without Employing Cliches: Developing My Own
Poetic Style Through Mimicry (Eng 303)
Anne Sears
Advisor: Howard Schaap, Assistant Professor of English
The initial intent of this contract was to read, analyze, and
mimic both ee cummings and Tyler Knott Gregson, two poets I
admire greatly. in turn, I would further develop and hone my
own poetic style. The project was finished in line with these
intentions, but my vantage point has shifted slightly. I realized
that I easily could mimic other poets, but should I? Isn’t my
obligation, as an aspiring poet, to contribute something
original? In trying, I resonated with the writer of Ecclesiastes:
“There is nothing new under the Sun” (1:9). I am only able to
form from what the true Creator, who had no preexisting
forms, has already formed. To a certain extent, everything I
write is mimicry of sorts, based on knowledge I’ve gleaned
from others. I’m unavoidably prone to cliché, sprinkled with
bits of originality. However, a lack of complete originality does
not lessen my work’s value. In fact, more meaning in
manufactured in the struggle to express common concepts
refreshingly. Thus, my aim was to mimic, for this is all I’m
capable of, without employing clichés; this is my definition of
poetry, laid bare in a book of my own poems and explanations
of their roots.
Views on the Historical Adam (Bio 251)
Madeline Vande Kamp
Advisor: Tony Jelsma, Professor of Biology
At the core of the creation-evolution debate is the question:
was Adam a real person? Some consider this to be the most
important issue. There are four views that are commonly held
in regards to whether Adam was a real person. The first argues
that Adam was not historical; rather, the Bible uses him as a
means to present spiritual truths. The other three consider
Adam to be a real person, but differ on their interpretations of
Genesis. In this presentation I will explain the four views on
historical Adam and the implications they have on the Christian
faith.
