The rocks stood for the amount of Israelis. Palestinians, and Americans that have died so far in the con- flict. Although the person or group responsible for the signs is unknown, there are other stu- dents who have very strong views on the con- flict. as ihey are studying this semester in Jerusalem and others have family who live very close to the violence. Three Hope students are currently study- ing in Jerusalem this semester through a pro- gram that is in conjunction with three other colleges. These students are taught by both Palestinian and Israel professors in a neutral place so as to learn about both cultures and gain an unbiased perspective. "When this crisis blew up. they were all in different places on their kibbutz stay," said Neal Sobania, director of international edu- cation. A kibbutz is an Israeli community where all money earned is shared among the people who each have a specific role within that community. At the start of the violence, the decision was made to extend the kibbutz stay. "They needed to stay where they were be- cause we knew it was safe," Sobania said. Later, they had to move even farther away. On October 14th, the students were evacu- ated to Cyprus in order to ensure their safety and also so that they could continue their course work.

October 23. ihe Former President of the United States George Bush visited Hope College to campaign for his son, George W. Bush's presidential campaign. The visit was ihe culmination of action between the Hope Col- lege Republicans and the nearby county Republican parlies. Two Hope students, Beth Kilgore ("02) and Louis Canfield ('01), wrote a letter to the George W. Bush cam- paign asking for the presidential nominee to pay a visit to Hope Col- lege. Although Bush was unable to visit, the Hope Republicans and their advisor, Professor Jack Holmes, were able to get Former President Bush to visit the campus. "Although I'm not sure they [our letters] are entirely responsible for bringing him here today, I'm cer- tain that we're all thrilled that he is going to be speaking," said Canfield. "This is a great day for Hope College. We have hundreds of students and hundreds of com- munity members all adding up to thousands of supporters for George W. Bush."

On the o ther side of the table , the Isreal is f a c e v io lence and

" M o s t peop le d o n ' t r e m e m b e r

"Because of Holland 's Dutch cul-

In April of 2000, the Minervian
Fraternity was busted in the midst
of an alcohol-fueled session of Dun-

In t w o c o n s e c u t i v e
nights of heavy gaming ,
the fraternity managed to defeat the
entirety of Gandolph 's army, as well
as the gr i f fon riders of Ta l l ' badon .
Their characters secured the sought-

say that they might be "ang ry" as well .
Cit izens of Bullmanisvi l le thought about
organizing a sleep-out in the Pine Copse in
protest , bul the idea fell through when they
realized that they were already sleeping there.
" I t ' s not my fault . G o talk to Rumen Van
Boerd ," President Bul lmanis retorted. The
Rancor already did.
Sludenls w h o are forced lo live outdoors
have voiced concern over the fact that they
are not adequately protected against the black
squirrels.
"Wha t are w e supposed to do? Those ob-
noxious rodents crawl into our tents at night
and nibble on our toes ," said Sovereign King
Freid.
Presidenl Bul lmanis dispatched a phalanx
of a rmed Public Safe ty of f icers to patrol the
area at all t imes, mainly in reaction to stu-
dents who have decided to use the Bullmanis '
back yard as a public rest room.

D o p e C o l l e g e s t u d e n t . M a t t
Russell ( ' 02 ) died at approximate ly
8:35 p.m. last Thursday night as a
result of mass ive cardiac arrest. He
was 20 years old.
Those that knew him descr ibed
R u s s e l l as a " n i c e g u y , " a n d a
"fr iendly outgoing s tudent ." Some
went on to say he w a s one of the
most peaceful , caring individuals on
campus . In his ihree years at Dope ,
Russell w a s involved in Habitat for
Humanity, Alcohol Issues Mailer,
and C A S A .
"He was one of the best guys I ' ve
eve r k n o w n , " sa id Brad V a n d e r
Moore (02), his roommate .
Yesterday, at a special chapel -
memor ia l service held in honor of
Russel l , John Vanderoosen, chap-
lain, ment ioned ihe lessons that can
be learned f rom Russe l l ' s life.
"Mal l Russell was a f ine young
m a n , " said Vanderoosen. " H e was
a h u m a n i t a r i a n , a role m o d e l to
younger kids, a nice guy, and a lov-
ing friend. Bul friends, brothers and
sisters in Christ , be ing a good per-
son doesn ' l mean anything if you
d o n ' t h a v e G o d , and w e k n o w
Russell was agnost ic ."
N o n e of Russe l l ' s f r i ends that
w e r e i n l e r v i e w e d e x a c t l y k n e w
what he bel ieved.
"You see. Mal l Russell never at-
tended Chape l , " said Vanderoosen
in a booming voice. " I ' v e seen his
picture and I know, in his three years
he never spent a short , but insight-
ful twenty minute chapel session in
this building, and if I d o n ' t k n o w
h im, the Almigh ty d o e s n ' l k n o w
h im."
V a n d e r o o s e n , o v e r c o m e w i l h
emot ion, s lopped, took a sip of wa-
ter and cont inued.
" H e may have never lied, he may
have never drank, and he may have
never messed around wilh w o m e n , "
said V a n d e r o o s e n . " B u t you see
fr iends, that doesn ' t mean anything,
wi thou t G o d . Even Mal t Russe l l
knows that as he burns in hell"wilh
all of his other agnostic , atheist, Is-
l amic , Ca tho l i c , non-Ca lv in i s t i c ,
non-Puri tanical f r iends .
Vanderoosen then quoted several
biblical r e fe rences to suppor t his
belief that Russell w a s in hell, as
well as C.S. Lewis ' " M e r c Chris-
t iani ty". Al the end of the L e w i s
quole the crowed laughed and many
m e m b e r s of the audience could be
seen mou th ing the words .
"Friends, God loves you," said an
impass ioned Vande roosen . " A n d
he ' s used Mal l Russe l l ' s death to
s h o w you jus t h o w imporlanl il is
thai you attend chapel . "
La te r , V a n d e r o o s e n wou ld de -
scribe Russe l l ' s elernal h o m e as , "a
p lace of weep ing and gnashing of
leelh," "a dark Godless p lace ," and
"hel l . "
Fol lowing Vanderoosen 's sermon
the chapel pra ise team played rol-
l i c k i n g r e n d i t i o n s of " In m y
Father ' s House" . "I Know A Place",
and "Jesus loves m e . But Not You".
Af le r the service, many students
had s imilar reac t ions to the mes-
sage.
" L e t ' s jus t say I ' m darn glad I
c o m e to chapel " said John Greene
(01). "I mean , crap, I dr ink, smoke
weed and s leep a round, bul since
I ' m here every Monday , Wednes-
day, and Friday al 10:30 a.m. plus
al 8 p .m. on Sunday, I k n o w my
bul l ' s saved. Also, it 's a great place
to meet w o m e n . "
Vanderoosen refused lo comment
on the matter.

announced lhal ad jec t ives will no

" U n f o r t u n a t e l y a d j e c t i v e s j u s l
c a u s e l o o m a n y p r o b l e m s , "
Bullmanis said. "We thought per-
haps w e c o u l d stil l h a v e s e m i -
unoffensive adjecl ives such as ' red '
and ' round ' bul in ihe end we jus l
decided lo cul ihe cord clean.
We are going to slick lo nice his-
torically Chrisl ian parts of Engl ish

like lo pronounce il 'parl ici- pai'
Because who ' s your f r iend? Tha i ' s

Today ' s announcement c o m e s al
ihe end of three mon ths of commi t -
tee invest igat ion inlo wha t s o m e
would call a simple mis taken menu
board.
A Whelps manager described ihe
iradilional Tuesday lunch beef turn-

" h o m e s l y l e g r a v y . " T h e m e n u
board prompted immedia te conlro-
v e r s y a m o n g f a c u l t y m e m b e r s ,
s o m e of w h o m bel ieved that the
term "homes ly le" was o f fens ive to
those sludenls w h o were raised in
apar tments or duplexes .
D e f e n d e r s of Ihe m e n u b o a r d
pointed lo Webs le r ' s defini t ion of
homes ly le as " food prepared in a
manner consislenl wilh that of food
prepared in homes . "
T h o s e of fended by the term ar-
gued lha l c o m m o n usage of ihe
word conlained a negat ive conno-
tation.
"I was raised in a duplex on ihe
norlh side of Hol land," said a fac-
ully m e m b e r w h o did not wish lo
be idenlif ied. "Every lime some-
one in f rom of m e al Arby ' s orders
homeslyle fries my ears jus l burn ."
T h e c o n t r o v e r s y c o n t i n u e d lo
" g r o w over ihe campus e-mai l sys-
tem, unlil in ihe interesl of main-
taining an open discussion il was
placed on SholPul . ihe Dope Col-
lege discussion board and access
was limited lo left handed faculty
m e m b e r s with bir thdays in March .
As the dispute entered into its sec-
ond m o n t h it a p p e a r e d to be no
closer to resolution. Bullmanis then
decided lo lake action.
"I have decided to take an unor-
thodox approach to the problem and
fo rm a c o m m i t t e e to add re s s the
c o n c e r n s of t h e f a c u l t y , " s a i d
Bullmanis .
Bul lmanis acknowledged the fi-
nal decision of the commil le , which
suggested that there will be a tran-
sition per iod while ad jec t ives are
p h a s e d ou t of Ihe H o p e
communi ty ' s vocabulary.
He maintained that there are still
ways lo for students to express what
they want lo say.
"For instance, instead of cal l ing
il the fantast ic new Science Center,
il will now be described as the Cen-
ter of Science of the Future that is
Fantast ic ," said Bullmanis .
To aid wilh f r e s h m a n wilh the

Ersk ine ' s l ife.
As well as work ing with Wooster ,
Erskine w o u l d go on tour wi th mu-
sic g roups l ike Sonic Youth.
"I ended up go ing on tour with
Jul io Iglesias. It was all in Spain , in
Bull r ings, and in Scand inav ia . "
T h e m o s t d i f f i c u l t pa r t of the
sound equ ipment whi le tour ing was
the set up.
"I t w o u l d a l w a y s be d i f fe ren t ev-

A m o n g o ther p laces , Er sk ine has
spent t ime in H o n g - K o n g , Glasgow,
England , and Indones ia .

Ersk ine said. "You h a v e to m a k e
certain connec t ions and once you

None the less , h e e n c o u r a g e s stu-
dents to g o there. In c o m i n g here,
Erskine has found s tudents of his

"I like the intensi ty s tudents can

are pretty open and they have an
energy to try d i f fe ren t th ings . "
A s for his W T H S show, 8 a .m. to

f ree fo rma t as far as it will go .
"I call it a rude a w a k e n i n g be-

can call it unusua l or you can call it

Ersk ine has been involved with
s o m e f o r m of aud io for at least the
past twenty years , starl ing in co l -
lege.
"I spent a long l ime at Mich igan

Spot l ight editor Celery " W h a t c h a read in"?"
Not m u c h is ha rde r lo unders tand lhan
a fou r year old with a m o u t h full of ice
c r e a m .
I s h o w e d h i m the poet ry b o o k I had
b rough t to Cen tenn ia l Park to read, then
realized 1 had no idea w h e r e h e had c o m e
f rom: I was in the midd le of a park and h e
was jus t a little boy.
The ice c r e a m s m u d g e d on to his nose ,
then his ch in . I saw his f a the r on a nearby
bench.
The little boy s m a s h e d a bug for me
and the ice c r eam, vani l la , a t tacked his
flannel sh in and d ropped on to his b lack
j eans . It wasn ' t long be fo re w e were
f r i ends : h im silting on my b lanke t , and
the ice c r e a m dr ips mak ing nice h o m e s
there too. He had me looking up in t rees
for squirrels that w e r e n ' t there , wonder -
ing why 1 d idn ' t eat ice c r e a m for d inner ,
and th rowing leaves in the air just to
watch them fly again .
All this f r o m a little boy I had never
met . A n d . though I had never met h im, h e
was a w o n d e r f u l vaca t ion .
Col lege , a f te r all, is jus t par t of life.
Yes, it c o n s u m e s l i fe now, but it is not
l ife. L i fe is not the s u m of the tests , the
papers , the r ead ings a n d the lec tures that
keep us in s t ruc ture .
Even in the s t rongest of s t ructures ,
there is so m u c h m o r e lo it.
A week ago , 1 f o u n d a pile of leaves to
j u m p in. then lay in. look ing at the
speckled bel l ies of the go lden leaves
against the dark sky to think of no th ing
but the f r i ends that we re silling next to
me . A few days ago , it was ra ining, so I
wen t walk ing . I wa lked wi th a f r iend to a
park where we sat on wet swings and
soaked ou r se lves go ing d o w n the slide.
O n the w a y back , w e j u m p e d in eve ry
pudd le w e cou ld f ind , to feel the cold
greasy water sp lash u p and d o w n our legs
and even hit us in the face.
Not even the best of c lasses , the
c lasses in w h i c h w e learn more than just
the cou r se mater ia l , or the mos t f u n
ex t ra -cur r icu la r act ivi ty can c o m p a r e .
T h e y ' r e g o o d for us and they ' l l get us
s o m e w h e r e , but in the end , t hey ' r e
s t ructure .
S o I will do the things that m a k e me
h a p p y as well .
L i fe is m o r e lhan c lasses .
I a le ce lery w h e n 1 was eight because it
was good for me , and I a m sure that
twe lve yea r s later, it has done m e s o m e
good in s o m e f o r m .
But I a l so j u m p e d in leaves w h e n I was
e ight , and 1 k n o w that has done m e all
the good in the wor ld .
B e f o r e I lef t , the little boy in Cen ten -
nial Park fo lded my b lanket for m e and
he lped me pick up m y books . I was sorry
I had to go. I was go ing lo miss the
invis ible squirrels in the trees. And he
was sorry too, ask ing me when I could
c o m e back and play.
He thought I was a w o n d e r f u l play-
mate . W h a t he doesn ' t k n o w was that , f o r
fo r ty - f ive minutes , he m a d e l i fe real.
