D o l d r u m D a m p f campaigns for Calvin wall Blare Ace Ranenham criminal Calvinites. W e will begin moving them out day one. Now, just so you understand, campus safety, who we all respect - say hello to campus safety! Boy, they don’t get the credit they deserve. I can tell you. They’re great people. But campus safety, they know who these students are. They live with these students. They get mocked by these students. They can’t do anything about these students, and they want to. They know who these students are. While this wall will inspire great security in our college, we remain open to attack until this new wall iscompleted. Our great anchor, the pride and joy of our greatcollege,has been the source of much insult and degradations from outside forces. W e have placed an electric fence around the anchor, we are going to defend our college! Together we can save Hope lives, Hope jobs and Hope futures. Together we can save Hope itself. 1 am sure of it.join me in this mission to make Hope great again.

Transcript from Student Council President-Elect: What have Ibeen saying from the beginning? 1 said we were going to build a wall to protect our students, our faculty— we have an amazing faculty, by the way, purely amazing! Our wall— and people say I always leave out the staff, but I love the staff, they're doing an amazing job, a H U G E part of our community— our wall is going to be the best wall, certainly better than any of Calvins walls. Crooked Calvin would likeyou to believe that we won’t build the wall, but we’re building the wall, and Calvin's going to pay for it! I’ve just returned from a very special meeting with the president of Calvin, a great guy and a man Irespectvery much, a man who truly loves his college, Calvin— and, by the way, just like I am a man who loves my college, Hope. W e agreed on a great many things, like the illegal flow of students across our borders. W e discussed the great contribution of Calvin students
