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."

Arts editor

Sports & Arts? You' re probably reading this

article right now because you saw

the title and thought to yourself .

Wha t? A sports co lumn in the

Arts sec t ion?"

Well, it is finally here. Be ing on

the cusp of a new century, the

)oundaries be tween ideas and

thoughts are a lways being pushed,

the lines are blurred between

politics and pop culture, technol-

ogy and everyday l ife. It was

inevitable. Sports and arts had lo

Dlend at s o m e t ime.

And . of course , the Anchor will

be the first one to bring it to you.

I am going to at tempt to write

the very first sports-arts c o m b o

co lumn ever, if you wou ldn ' t mind

me cal l ing it that. 1 say at tempt

because you just never know how

well some things go together. Not

every combina t ion ends up tast ing

as good as peanut butter and jelly.

Example: peanut but ter and hot

tuna.

At first glance, it would s eem

that a marr iage of sports and the

arts might be a successful one. It

would seem that the arts would

enhance sports and vice versa.

For instance, wou ldn ' t it be

interesting to see orchestra playing

along with a footbal l game, with

crescendos when the home team

gains a first down, and a full

s fo rzando when someone gets a

touchdown. Likewise, it might be

cool to see a football team up on

stage pe r fo rming play format ions

in tap shoes.

Then again, maybe not. It might

be a f u n n y joke , but defini tely not

someth ing to keep for good .

Peanut butter and hot tuna.

Fur thermore , artists and athletes

have gone down in history as the

two most opposi te types of people .

T h e arts appeal to a c rowd that is

more feminine , more sensi t ive,

and more in tune with their

feel ings.

Athletics, on the other hand ,

have a lways appealed to the

mascul ine c rowd, those compet i -

tive spirits, and more energet ic

personas.

But there are those f ew types of

people w h o are artistic and

athletic, all in one. but those are a

rare breed, and for the purposes of

this article, I will ignore this small

percentage of the populat ion.

Athletes and artists would not

get a long well with each other if

sports and the arts were blended,

even if they tried. Because of this

deep seeded resentment towards

each other, and the s imple fact that

the artistic mind and the athletic

mind are dissimilar. They would

bicker, they would fight, and most

of all. they would spend most of

their t ime making fun of each

other. Examples : meathead. f reak.

pansy . jock. . .

Still. 1 think there are a f ew

of you out there w h o might

think that all of these d i f fer -

ences could be resolved and

arts and sports could be

blended in s o m e way.

For you silly idealists, all I

have to say is: peanut butter

and hot tuna.

I have one final reason why

sports and arts do not blend. It

is a real- l i fe example , taken

f r o m m y life. Also, and most

importantly, it is a sign f r o m

G o d .

I cons ider myself an artist. I

dance . I sing, I write, and 1 can

m a k e s o m e really cool col lages

f r o m magaz ine articles. I k n o w

1 am not an athlete, but I

thought that I could occas ion-

ally cross the invisible border

be tween arts and sports every

once in a while . I learned my

lesson.

1 p layed intramural sports

this fall. At first, I played

football . And I w a s decent. I

caught the footbal l a couple of

t imes , and even had a intercep-

tion at one point . I had fun in

footbal l until I j a m m e d my

finger one night as I was

ca tch ing a ball. It swel led up

purple and blue and the next

day I had to go and get an x-ray

on m y finger. It took m y about

2 weeks to recover.

So I decided I would try to

play basketbal l . I was doing

well at that too, until I had a

break away and I twisted my

knee. It was very painful . It

swel led up and I had to use

crutches. I just got off my

crutches last week . I will not be

able to dance for about two to

three weeks .

And no. I am not a natural-

b o m klutz. T h e s e are actually

the first injuries that I have

since I was five and fractured

my a rm.This phenomenon of

being injured easily is some-

thing that is brand n e w to me.

Get t ing back to the argument

since I am a dancer and dance

is m y special i ty in the arts, the

deve lopment of my art form

has been hindered by sports.

I am absolutely convinced

that the success ive injuries

caused by intramural sports is a

sign f r o m God that sports and

arts just do not mix and also

that I should never play sports

again.

The re are a lot of things that

can and should be explored in

combina t ions . But there are

some other things that just

shouldn ' t , like arts and sports.

Take my word for it, it tastes

like peanut butter and hot tuna.

We've got this thing we call Radar Love.

Between two validities O n c e again , the M i d d l e East is a p lace of unrest . Just a yea r ago t

m a n y poli t ical ana lys i s t s felt that the region was as c lose to peace

as it has been s ince the f o u n d i n g of the nat ion of Israel. Ba rak was

in p o w e r in Israel, Pa les t in ians s e e m e d to be mov ing toward the

dec la ra t ion o f s t a t ehood , and th ings in ne ighbor ing nat ions l ike

Syria and L e b a n n o n we re far f r o m crisis points . S o wha t wen t so

w r o n g ?

O n e person , o n e sol i tary person , s tar ted the cha in of even ts that

s tarted the mos t recent v io lence . A v e h e m e n t l y an t i -Pa les t in ian

Israeli of f ic ia l visi ted a con tes ted re l ig ious site, one that has ho ly

s ign i f i cance to both the J e w s and the M u s l i m s . T h i s s a m e off ic ia l

o w n s a h o u s e jus t ou t s ide of the Pa les t in ian-cont ro l led area of

J e rusa l em, and f l ies a mass ive Israeli f lag a b o v e the ci ty as a direct

insult to the Pales t in ian peop le .

No w o n d e r v io lence began . N o w o n d e r Pales t in ians , w h o have

been opressed in va ry ing d e g r e e s for years , began to protest a n d

throw rocks . T h e rocks they are t h rowing are ou t of despara t ion .

They live a m o n g r e f u g e e s , d i sp laced by Israelis a n d y o u n g ch i ld ren

killed in c rossf i re . They cry for f r e e d o m and the right to s imp ly live

in the land w h e r e they be long .

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

unrest in their h o m e l a n d , and r e spond with fo rce to quel l the riots.

They are w o r k i n g to p rese rve a h o m e l a n d that they be l ieve is g iven

to t hem by God." T h e y are t ry ing to l ive as a na t ion in a region f i l led

with e n e m i e s and bi t ter ha t red .

Both g r o u p s have abso lu te ly val id r easons for their ac t ions , but ,

Would y o u r op in ion of one of the

above organiza t ions , or any o ther

c a m p u s o rgan iza t ion , c h a n g e if

you wi tnessed one of its m e m b e r s

using racial slurs? H o w might you

react? Would you turn the o ther

way, wait for s o m e o n e else to act,

or personal ly step forward to con-

f ron t the s i tua t ion?

I actually was presented with

th is s i tuat ion a c o u p l e of w e e k s

a g o w h e n a m e m b e r of G r e e k

to conf ron t the individual . T h i s was

not an easy act, but one I felt obl i -

gated to m a k e a s a m e m b e r of this

c a m p u s c o m m u n i t y . To m y sur -

pr ise , no o n e else j o i n e d me. D i d

they agree wi th the racial s lurs or

we re they a f ra id to s tep f o r w a r d ? It

w o u l d b e easy to j u d g e those indi-

v idua ls , bu t I k n o w that 1 a m n o

saint . 1 a l so have o f t en turned the

o ther way until I real ized that si^

lence in the f a c e of racism is equally

as des t ruct ive . I wri te this as a cha l -

lenge, that the next t i m e in jus t ice is

done , we as a co l l ege will s tep for -

ward .

1 would a l so l ike to m a k e an ad-

di t ional cha l lenge . A s m e m b e r s of

this c o m m u n i t y w e need to recog-

on the g r o u p s w e represent . A s a

senior , 1 k n o w that Greek l i fe is a

Equa l ly true, I w o u l d have poor ly

First, the re was the R e p u b l i c a n

ar t icle . T h e keys tone of their ar-

g u m e n t was that Bush w o u l d let

us take 2 % of ou r m o n e y and put

it in the m a r k e t . T h i s w a s fo l -

lowed by the s ta tement , "du r ing

no twenty year period have inves-

T h e Grea t Depress ion , you ask?

At any rate, wha t will happen in

Gore , l ike Cl in ton , will both be dis-

g r a c e s to the o f f i c e of the pres i -

in turn will c ause lack of ac t ion in

that w e all have to pick the lesser

Dutch classic rock band to perform in GPS Fatt Baker CAMPUS FEET EDITOR

As pari of ihc Great Pe r fo rmance

band Golden Earring next Friday in

the Knickerbocker Theater .

"We have a long history of high-

quality acts to Soap in every area-

dance. theater, and music ," said Eric

Immerson , G P S coordinator . " A n d

we thought it was a good t ime to

e x p e r i m e n t w i t h s o m e t h i n g w e

hadn ' t really tried before : a lbum-

oriented classic rock."

k n o w n fo r the 1974 hi t , " R a d a r

However, Immerson stressed that

Golden Earr ing was not a one-hit

wonder.

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

their first hit, ' D o n g - D o n g - D i - K i -

Di-Gi-Dong, ' but they do when they

hear it," Immerson said. "Plus , they

had a top ten s ingle in 1984 with

T w i l i g h t Z o n e . ' "

G o l d e n E a r r i n g ' s D u t c h back -

g round also had a lot to d o with

bringing the g roup to Soap.

"Because of Holland 's Dutch cul-

tural tradit ion, we really wanted to

bring in an authent ic mus ic g roup

that wou ld d e m o n s t r a t e that the

Dutch are about more than tulips

and w i n d m i l l s , " I m m e r s o n said.

"They are also about rocking hard."

Hope s tudents are exci ted about

the upcoming per formance , which

features the b a n d ' s original l ineup:

With the eas ing of Dope Col lege

alcohol policies, good has f inally

t r i m u m p h e d o v e r the evil h o r d e

amassed by Warmas te r G a n d o l p h

and his undead liche army.

In April of 2000, the Minervian

Fraternity was busted in the midst

of an alcohol-fueled session of Dun-

g e o n s and D r a g o n s . S ix cans of

Coors and a whole pile of mult i -

sided dice were apprehended , and

the fraterni ty faced ser ious disci-

pl inary action over their quest for

F i z b a n ' s C l o a k of

Feather Fall .

"It was really serious,"

( 4 0 l ) . p r e s iden t of the

Minervian Fraternity. "I

d idn ' t think that even my

Helm of +2 Water Ward-

ing could save us f rom a

revoked charter ."

B u t u p o n r e t u r n i n g

this fall, the Minervians found a dif-

ferent a tmosphere .

" W e saw all sorts of girls walk-

T. Pinkerton

ing to part ies late at night wear ing

those light black pants ," said Lewis

Honeycut t Jr. ( 400), fra-

ternity member and dun-

geon master. "It looked

like the admin i s t ra t ion

was turning a blind eye

to u n d e r a g e d r i n k i n g

again, and w e fell it was

t ime to renew the quest

for F izban ' s C loak . "

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-

a f t e r c loak , and good f ina l ly tri-

umphed over evil.

There's no place called home for Dope students Bob Mantra S T A F F H O B O

Wilh a record f reshman class and seniors

on campus , s o m e Dope sludenls are fel l ing a

housing crunch.

Several hundred sludenls are being forced

lo live like bums along 8lh Street, s leeping

wherever they lie. Dope Co l l ege ' s high en-

rollment exceeds the capabil i t ies of the fa-

cilities. "Il was a j oke , " said Rumen Van Boerd,

head of Admiss ions . "We d i d n ' t expect them

all to al lend." As il lurns out, Ihe Admiss ions staff jus t

got lazy and slarled to accept every one thai

came along.

"It was late in the s u m m e r and w e were

tired of the same routine every day," said Van

Boerd. "You know how boring those essays

are? Try reading them all day long ."

Van Boerd denied the accusat ion that the

Admiss ions slaff al legedly read comic books

and played Mari^ Karl for the last half of the

summer. W h e t h e r those ex t ra s tudents were sup-

p o s e d to c o m e or not, t h e y ' r e he re . And

they ' re mak ing do with what they have.

Some students returned to their h o m e s and

brought back tents to sleep in. Set up in the

P i n e C o p s e , i h e y h a v e n a m e d t h e i r

shan ly lown a f l e r the Pres ident ; 'Ye Olde

" W e ' r e not happy ," c o m m e n t e d Dulchy

Freid ( '04) , s tudent and Elected Lord Sover-

eign King of Bullmanisvi l le . He went on lo

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.

" 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

Bullmanis said. "We thought per-

unoffensive adjecl ives such as ' red '

decided lo cul ihe cord clean.

We are going to slick lo nice his-

like lo pronounce il 'parl ici- pai'

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.

iradilional Tuesday lunch beef turn-

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

veloping a mandatory class, which

will stress the impor tance of a vo-

Erskine , w h o had been work ing

for the Woos te r theater c o m p a n y in

N e w York, m o v e d back to Michi -

gan a f t e r a near ly fatal car crash.

"I t took me about a year to re-

c o v e r e n o u g h to wa lk a n d t a lk , "

Erskine said. "I c o u l d n ' t return [to

W o o s t e r ] . It i n v o l v e d too m u c h

SETTING SAIL

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-

ery n ight ," Erskine said.

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 .

"I wen t a c o u p l e of t imes to In-

to t ake my skills and adapt t hem to

Ersk ine said. " I t ' s a nat ion wi th so

that. T h e r e ' s a cer ta in integri ty to

all these d i f f e ren t cu l tu res that is

incredibly s t imu la t ing . "

L iv ing in N e w York City was an

exper i ence in itself, t hough .

" I t ' s l ike l iving in a big toy box "

Ersk ine said. "You h a v e to m a k e

certain connec t ions and once you

do, the re ' s so m a n y th ings y o u can

do. You just have to m a k e e n o u g h

m o n e y to su rv ive . "

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

o w n to leach.

"I like the intensi ty s tudents can

br ing to th ings ," he said. "Peop le

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

noon on Fr idays , Erskine takes his

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-

cause I usual ly play someth ing-you

can call it unusua l or you can call it

annoy ing - in the morn ing . I h a d a

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 -

"I spent a long l ime at Mich igan

S t a t e . It w a s a lo t of f u n , " sa id

Erskine , w h o went par t - t ime whi le

" T h e d e v e l o p m e n t of pe r sona l

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.
