C r i s p e l l blaze sparks policy change CARRIE XEMMANX campusbeat editor

It all started in a downstairs bedroom on July 12, 1996. with one candle and a few seconds' neglect.

Flame enveloped the bed, burst the windows, and crept up the side of the house and roof.

By the time firefighters arrived on the scene, the s m o k e was so thick that they could not enter, and could do nothing to save Crispell cottage. But the results reach be-

yond the immediate. Students returning to Hope this year will find more than just the empty hole that once was Crispell —they will feel the effects of the blaze in the form of a beefed-up fire policy banning all candles from campus residences and strong warnings to take fire safety seriously.

The new rule is actually a change in the Housing Terms and Conditions, meaning that infractions will be handled administratively rather than judicially, as are policy infrac-

As a result of a student survey conducted last spring, Public Safety has increased manpower and visibility for the '96' 9 7 school year.

According to that survey, the students' main concern and request was that Public Safety be more visible.

Departmental additions include two full-time officers and a West Campus shuttle van pickup every half-hour during regular Shuttle Van hours.

"1 would challenge anyone to find another college this size that has a bigger or better Public Safety Department," said Duane Terpstra, Director of Public Safety.

"We found out in our survey that students wanted to get to know who we are," Terpstra said. To fulfill that goal, the daytime patrol officer will now be walking through campus buildings on a regular basis.

"At first, people think that something is wrong, that w e ' r e trying to catch them. It isn't anything like that," Terpstra said. "One of the ways to find out what students want is by talking to people, by developing those kind of relationships."

Terpstra also plans on giving presentations to groups in cottages or residence halls to promote safety awareness, give basic safety tips, or address any concerns residents may have.

"Incidents and situations get exaggerated something fierce in a short period of time, and I want to give students the correct information," Terpstra said. For example, he cited some students' panic of Holland gang activity. " S o m e people think there are gangs on every street corner, and that's just not true. W e ' v e never dealt with a gang problem on campus at all," he said.

However, Terpstra also emphasized that one of the duties of Public Safety is to monitor off-campus incidents of which students should be aware.

Starting this Tuesday, the Shuttle Van will be picking up students from Van Wylen library every half-hour, 6 p.m. to 2 a.m., and circulating around campus.

The last physical barrier to the completion of the Haworth center disappeared as Welmers Cottage inched down College Avenue last summer, and the shell of the huge complex contrasts sharply with the cottages that once lined the street.

But then, Haworth was always i n t e n d e d to c h a n g e t h e f a c e of Hope's campus.

"For at least a dozen years, we have had plans to make that side of c a m p u s m o r e c o l l e g i a t e , " said P r e s i d e n t John J a c o b s o n . " O u r long-range goal,even b e f o r e we had a clear idea of a conference center, was to unify the block by t r a n s f o r m i n g it into a collegiate area."

F u t u r e p l a n s to c o m p l e t e the transformation include removal of Yntema Cottage and the garage that stands next to the old Welmers site.

The project will be finished off with the addition of landscaping and shrubs off College Avenue around the Admissions House.

Construction on the complex was

delayed by the exceptionally cold weather last spring, pushing the opening of the H a w o r t h C e n t e r back from Nov. 1, 1996 to Jan. I, 1997. Cook Residence Hall is still scheduled to open in May of 1997.

Besides hosting summer conferences, the Haworth'Center will provide additional student housing and will also serve as an overflow dining facility during peak P h e l p s hours.

"The Center will ease some pressure on the entire College community," Jacobson said. "One of the things we want to do is to have the dining hall open for students during the most c r o w d e d h o u r s in Phelps, and certainly on special occasions such as parents' weekends and Homecoming."

The opening of the Cook Residence Hall, according to Jacobson, will be accompanied by the elimination of student housing in the Centennial Park Apartments.

"Centennial Park has been very useful to us, but it is just not up to Hope standards," Jacobson said.

"The Cook Residence Hall would make up for the 90 students cur-

T h e r e are no c u r r e n t p l a n s to build additional residence hall facilities, according to Jacobson, because the enrollment cap will stabilize growth.

Although no decision has been made, the administration has dis-

cussed making some dining areas available for community use. " O n e or more of the dining facilities might conceivably be opened to the Holland community. It's an idea that has been talked a b o u t , " Jacobson said. "It would also be a good place to hold wedding receptions for graduates and friends of Hope College."

Double the money Many Hope students were in for a pleasant surprise last w e e k e n d , m o v i n g into their n o w h o m e s to find cottages refurbished with n e w paint, f u r n i t u r e , c a r p e t i n g , linol e u m , and a p p l i a n c e s . S u m m e r renovations totaled $407,000.

Of that $407,000. an estimated $87,000 went into cosmetic repair of cottages, roughly double the expenditure of last summer. The remainder was spent moving Welmers Cottage and remodeling Stryker Cottage, f o r m e r l y " C o o p e r Street Pier." and Yonkersma (Arcadian) Cottage.

Some of the repairs w e r e to cottages that sustained moving d a m ages in the summer of 1995 and had not been repaired last s u m m e r .

H o w e v e r , s o m e s u g g e s t that s o m e of the c o t t a g e m a i n t e n a n c e problems are a result of poor treatment by students, and that student initiative in cleaning and upkeep is an important factor in the long-run living conditions there.

"I really stress that students need to take care of the house. It's like renting a house f r o m the college.

Leaving a messy, dirty house is not

an o p t i o n , " said Shelly Spencer, Cottage R D . " T h e Arcadian Cottage. for example, was absolutely trashed. There were spindles ripped out of the banisters, the door was destroyed, and their I guessed their c a r p e t to be 35 y e a r s old w h e n t h e y ' d only had it for three years."

"There is a lot of traffic in and out of my house too, with meetings, RAs and RDs. but that doesn't mean it has to be trash e d . M y carpet w o n ' t age 35 years in three."

P h y s i c a l Plant r e c e i v e d k u d o s f r o m many for their summer efforts.

"I have never seen so m a n y improvements in one summer," said Derek Emerson. Director of Housing and J u d i c i a l A f f a i r s . " J e r r y R a d e m a k e r (Associate Director of the Physical Plant) just kepi finding more things to do in cottages."

"Last year, our carpet was so old that parts of it w e r e c o m p l e t e l y worn away, but now w e have excellent, b r a n d - n e w c a r p e t i n g , n e w grass behind the house, and a repaved driveway," said A n n Barry 4 98, RA of the Deutches Haus.

T h e decision to make such extensive cottage repairs w a s made as a result of a student survey conducted last spring. C o t t a g e residents expressed concerns that their houses

w e r e not being well maintained.

R a d e m a k e r then went h o u s e - t o house, compiling and prioritizing with each R A a list of maintenance improvement needs and listening to student complaints.

"That had never been done before," Spencer said. " [ R a d e m a k e r ] really took the initiative in meeting with every cottage R A and going to every house. He really listened to people's gripes."

T h e w o r k , h o w e v e r , is by no means finished. " U n f o r t u n a t e l y , the i m p r o v e ments did not affect our cottage," said Olivia Welch ('97). "We had requested painting on the outside of our house, but Physical Plant decided they didn't have e n o u g h money to do it."

More improvements will follow next summer.

"It's a process, and obviously one that costs a lot of money. T h i n g s like this have to be d o n e in installments," Emerson said. " W e just tried to hit the [cottages] with the most n e e d , " R a d e m a k e r said. "There are a couple that are really in need of s o m e m o r e work, and w e will be d o i n g a lot more i m p r o v e m e n t s next s u m m e r . We just took a big bite out of it."

However, she e m p h a s i z e d that the 60-year tradition would not just go u p in smoke. " W e will do something [with candles] because it is tradition. Perhaps the girls can fill the glasses with c a n d y and just hand out the candles outside that night."

Hope Dirctor of Health and Safety Jerry Gunnick urges preventative caution to avoid fires. Gunnick inspects cottages and residence halls periodically to look for fire, health, and safety hazards. If hazards remain unchanged, G u n n i c k can execute a write-up. " I ' m not doing that to punish students," Gunnick said. " I ' m doing thai to be safe." G u n n i c k stresses the importance of developing a fire escape plan for every cottage, and ensuring that e s c a p e routes are available, especially from the second floor.

About Hope Admissions Academics

Without a Net I was driving home in early August when 1 heard it.

I listened as the broadcaster said America Online (AOL) had crashed. The world's biggest online company fell Aug. 7 for 19 hours, leaving AOL's 6 million customers in utter darkness and despondency.

Chat rooms and home pages on A O L went black worldwide leaving Net surfers grounded and probably closing out their entire schedule for the next 19 hours. I cracked a smile at the news. My skepticism of the Internet was affirmed by the computer disaster. To me, it was an apocalyptic o m e n of the system's eventual doom.

Are users getting tangled in their own net?

The fact is Internet is slowly but surely being pushed to the point of overload.

With weak security, an overwhelming amount of traffic, and a steadily growing population of users, the Net is closing in on itself.

Now, I know what the techies out there are saying: "All of the problems can be solved with some upgrades to the system and regulation of traffic."

Sure, more software, more hardware, more fiber optics. But the more systems they install, the greater the proliferation of users, and supply will never exceed demand.

Perhaps I just have a fatalistic view of computing in society, but a worldwide

computer system which consumes so much data and traffic will only grow more complicated and congested than the ability of the technicians that control it.

This means people will consistently place their trust and time in a system that is doomed to failure. The next thing you know the system on which half the world depends for its information will crash on a cataclysmic level, sending the global community into confusion.

Maybe that's a little farfetched, but I sincerely believe there is inherent danger in depending on an information system that is already showing signs of its demise.

Relying on the Internet's system breeds introverted shutins who sit in front of their computers all day instead of getting out and pretending that they are actually members of society. Businessweek documented the story of an Internet junkie who, after spending five hours searching for data on the Net, got in his car and drove to the library, where he found the data on microfilm in less than an hour.

Bottom line; we need to take a serious look into what extent we are submerging our lives into thelntemet and just how healthy this relationship is.

T h e dangers of an Internet-based faith are real. We would be a lot belter off avoiding the snare of the Net entirely.

" While the Orientation directors sacrificed s u m m e r sleep to m a k e the frosh feel w e l c o m e , those at Public Safety were creating new foot patrols to increase officer visibility following student requests.

This is where the Editor-in-Chief gets the chance sermonize, where she says "This is your newspaper, so please, give us feedback! Send us letters to the editor! Don't just tell your roommate, tell us!"

But I w o n ' t insult your intelligence that way.

Of course you know you must speak up to be heard.

Of course you need to tell us how w e ' r e doing so we can do it better.

Of course you, a literate college type, can hardly prevent your civic urges f r o m interfering with your study time and making you a weekly contributor to the Opinion page.

So these are bases I don't need to cover.

But what The Anchor staff will cover this year is you.

W e ' r e a fresh crop of staffers with enthusiasm to spare.

EDITOR...

We want to give you the scoop â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the c o m p l e t e s c o o p â&#x20AC;&#x201D; be it about the latest in athletics on the Sports page or campus crime in the Campus section, to student profiles in Spotlight or different church reviews in the Religion section.

Each section is out to make your student existence an informed one.

Did I just say Religion section?

Why, yes, I did. This year. The Anchor will boast a new weekly section d e v o t e d to r e l i g i o u s life at Hope College. Look to it to hear everything from what's up in the Keppel House to profiles of students who celebrate Ramadan. T h e section will be about Hope, all of Hope, and we look forward to shaping it into a campus favorite.

The faces on staff and a new section aren't all that's new here.

Meet Tim Boudreau, an assistant professor of Communication who

Jodi M c F a r l a n d j u s t h i g h t a i l e d it up h e r e f r o m Southern Illinios University. He's wrapping up his doctorate in Journalism from there this year. This is his first advising position, so we promise to break him in gently.

The Anchor hits the stands in time for dinner each Wednesday. We're located in bins throughout campus, including Phelps Dining Hall and the DeWitt Center. We pledge to bring you all of what's up, why it's up,how it got up and who put it up.

So pick us up, and make us a regular part of your Wednesday routine.

This will be evident as the artists illustrate their personal interpretations of the human form.

"Figure 4 " deals mainly with the theme of human structure and composition, either directly or circuitously, figuratively or in a verbatim manner. Luttikhuizen's installation piece probes into abstract concepts of image and identity by p r o j e c t i n g s l i d e s of doll p a r t s .

Warren's sculptures manifest a more subtle and elusive reference to the h u m a n f o r m , w h i l e Wyss paints embellished human interior structures which are projected onto a h u m a n body and methodically photographed.

The public is invited to stretch any of their premeditated and myopic illusions about the human figure. Exhibition "Figure 4 " will be held at the De Pree Art Center, located at the comer of 12th street and Columbia Avenue. The gallery will be open Monday-Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with additional hours beginning in September. Please call 395-7500 for more information.
