New student Resident Directors balance housing responsibilities

by Rob Abbott staff reporter We all know one or two people w h o seem to thrive on the fast pace of a more-than-full schedule. With classes, jobs, extracurricular activities or other business, it seems these people gain their strength from their powers of organization and efficiency.

The Department of Housing and Residential Life handpicked five such people to serve as Student Resident Directors for the 1994-95 year.

In charge of the c o m m u n i t y situations of up to 50 students per apartment complex, SRDs are livein administrators.

Responsibilities include community building, p r o g r a m m i n g , policy enforcement and conflict moderation as well as the handling of an allotted budget and ensuring the overall safety of the residents in their apartments.

This is no small charge when it is considered thafsach SRD is carrying a full course load and preparing for graduation. Some even have second jobs in order to make ends meet.

"It will be tough, but nowhere close to impossible,"said Parkview A p a r t m e n t s S R D Theresa Deer ('95). "It's going to take a lot of organization, but I find I get more things done when I have more to do."

Deer is a senior carrying a 16hour courseload. She is a secretary at the Physical Plant, preparing to take the GRD and rehearsing for

her Senior Recital in the Spring.

"It's wonderful experience, even for undergraduates," said Julie Goebel, Hope's Director of Housing and Residential Life. "Some are even looking into post-graduate study and careers in College Ad* ministration and Student Life."

"I never considered College Administration as a career until I b e c a m e an S R D , " s a i d J a s o n Ruckert ('95), a second-year SRD at C o l u m b i a A p a r t m e n t s . "The SRD position and experience will also help me into graduate school."

Student Resident Directors learn to an extent even greater than Resident Assistants the skills of community-building, administration and interpersonal dealings.

Brumler Apartments SRD Nancy Barta ('95) plans to focus on community.

"The biggest challenge will be c o m m u n i t y - b u i l d i n g activities.

This will be a priority." Social functions and joint programs will be needed to unite residents living in completely self-contained units. " T h e r e ' s no c o m m o n b a t h rooms or anything where residents are forced to interact," Ruckert said. "My plan is to arrange lots of social functions and let them mix naturally."

No worries for Julie Goebel, though. She's confident in her staff.

"We have a really neat group this year. Their job boils to respect of others, enthusiasm for involvement and working toward community.

I'm trying to involve them in the d e c i s i o n - m a k i n g p r o c e s s to a greater extent than in the past."

Congress calls for student participation

By Zach Hegg staff reporter Student participation in the governmental process is key to a successful administration, said the 1994-95 Student Congress Cabinet.

The Cabinet outlined the year's goals and policies at the National Student Government Workshop this summer, a retreat taking President Joel Plantinga ('96), VicePresident Nina Bieliauskas ('97) and Comptroller Mike Yantis ('95) to Augsburg College in Minneapolis.

After the workshop, Plantinga and Yantis commented that they learned from other universities and college's experiences in student government. Schools in attendance ranged from large universities in California to small colleges in New York.

Each Cabinet member met with a small discussion group giving leaders a chance to compare notes on the inner workings of their respective schools. "Each school's problems were pretty specific, so it was hard to identify with them, but we got a lot of good ideas from the other schools that worked well," Plantinga said.

In addition, the Cabinet attended large addresses which covered broad topics including "Managing Multiple Constituencies and Challenges as a Politician."

Educational sessions covered other specific interest areas ranging to improving relations with stu-

SPORTS O F F T H E WAIVER W I R E

Greg Paplawsky

One strike and you're out It's a new year, so invariably a new sports columnist is here to try to inform and entertain at the very same time.

This year it's my turn.

Many memorable events happened over the summer which sparked the sports world, but none as disappointing as the baseball strike.

Of coarse, there was the O.J. Simpson double murder and now the continuing and insanely boring court proceedings. And although I am truly sorry to disappoint all you folks with an O.J. fetish, I simply cannot bring myself to write another word about him and his problems without wanting to schedule myself for psychosurgery.

The baseball strike is much easier to figure out. It's nothing more than a case of greed, pure and simple. Both sides are claiming poverty in one of the richest businesses around. No matter what settlement comes out of the strike, both the owners and the players will still be rich.

The owners say they are going bankrupt, so they need a salary cap and revenue sharing to "keep the competitive balance." The ptayers say those ideas will send them to the poor house because teams will not be able pay them what they are worth. Is anybody worth eight million dollars a year to play ball for four months a year? I say no. But obviously others don't feel the same way. Bobby Bonilla's salary is evidence of that.

The owners and players don't seem to realize that the real losers during baseball strikes, are the fans, w h o no longer get to see the game they love. And even if the strike is

finally resolved, ticket prices may be even higher. Soon, baseball games will be so expensive that the game won't even seem worth it anymore.

Another group of people who are hit by baseball strikes, even more than the fans, are the stadium employees. For many of these people selling hot dogs and the like, is their only source of income all year. The strike is putting more people on welfare—good people who are out trying to make a living by themselves without the government's help.

Although the stadium workers are more justified to go on strike, the owners have them right in the palm of their handthey have the money which the workers desperately need.

The owners also have the fans in their pocket. The owners know the fans always come back. No matter what the fans say they always come back to the park to see the greatest game on earth.

By the chief negotiator's admission, the strike has already canceled the rest of the season, and seeing the play-offs is only a glimmer of hope on the horizon. But don't put that proverbial gun to your head just yet, you have options.

The die-hard fan can always turn to the minor leagues.

People in the West Michigan area can always go see those White Caps play, and the tripleA Toledo Mud Hens are only about as far away as Detroit. An added bonus of the minors is they are dirt cheap compared to the major leagues.

And for all you pro-sports gluttons, don't forget that football season starts this very weekend. All is not lost, yet Hope remains.

Soccer teams gear up for season with 32.

Co-captains Kim Nolan ('97) and Kara Vander Kamp ('96) were both All-MIAA first team selections last year.

The team plays a heavy home schedule with eleven of its fourteen games at home.

The m e n ' s team has just as much of a reason to smile about their chances in the MIAA race as the women do. The men's team has a solid group of letter winners returning which should allow them to challenge for the MIAA crown.

by Greg Paplawsky Sports Editor Both the w o m e n ' s and the men's soccer teams have been hard at work these past few weeks preparing for the upcoming soccer season.

The women's team will be trying to improve on their best MIAA finish ever, where they posted a second place conference record. Only losing to e v e n t u a l champ Kalamazoo. Overall, the team had a remarkable 10-4-4 record.

Coach Stein Slette has a solid base of players returning to charge into battle with this year. He has 22 returning letter winners, and the pre-season roster has a meager three seniors on its lists, so this team should be strong well into the future.

Tracy Phelps ('97) had a wonderful season last year scoring 13 goals, which was a school record.

Give 'em some r-r-r...

Respect. Everybody wants it. Not everybody deserves it. Aretha Franklin sang about it. And now, Greek organizations on Hone's campus are asking for more of it, in light of the "stolen letters in the Pine Grove" episode.

The requests made in this w e e k ' s letters to the editor, by both the Sigma Sigma sorority and the Dorian sorority are simple. They want to be respected, or at the very least, they would prefer not to be robbed.

Although this seems to be a fairly simple request, quite obviously, some pranksters are having trouble comprehending it.

Tension between Greeks and non-Greeks is nothing shocking in the Hope College community. However, both theft and sabotage ruffle a few tail feathers, or at least a few tail feathers at The Anchor.

Why w a s this necessary?

We understand that not everybody is in favor of Greek organizations, but we must of missed the rule that says that we all have to have the same opinions. We also missed the instructional unit that taught us that if we did not like certain groups, then it's a good idea to steal their stuff.

For example, not everybody is in favor of alternative music, but you don't see anybody climbing up and tampering with WTHS's tower. That is because most people w h o don't like alternative music don't even care enough to listen to WTHS, much less tamper with their equipment.

Clearly, the people w h o stole these letters, whoever they are, care aeeply about the Greek organizations. It must have taken a hefty chunk of time to plot out the theft—gathering people and tools, finding hiding spots, planning a time when they could all get t o g e t h e r - n o w that's responsibility.

However, one is left to wonder, w h y didn't the thieves put their time and energy into something more productive?

If they don't like the Greek system at Hope, or if they are fed up with the animosities that exist between Greeks and non-Greeks, why didn't they do something that could have actually improved the situation, instead of wasting time and energy on a scheme that will inevitably perpetuate the problems?

Sororities vent anger concerning stolen letters Dear Editor: Over Memorial Day weekend the Kappa Beta Phi Sorority was vandalized when thieves climbed to the top of our sorority house, unbolted and carried away our letters.

While the incident may have been seen as a prank by those committing the crime, none of us found the joke funny. Not only were the letters expensive and difficult to design, more importantly they stood as a symbol of the friendship and love found within the circle of Dorian.

Though sisterhood cannot be shattered by the theft of letters, the stealing of six sets represents a great disrespect for Greeks. Because we incorporate an exclusive member-

ship together for social purposes, we are often called "clique-ish." People even accuse us of "buying" friendship. Those in the organizations, however, realize being Greek is an entirely different story. Our bonds are fostered through similar interests and a shared cause. It is much like the friendships formeJ by those on staff at SAC, Student Congress or in any kind of work environment. Our sorority provided us the forum to meet one another and things grew from there.

Because we are Greek we were targeted for this crime. No one would have dared to steal the banner from the Black Coalition or the Hispanic

Students Organization — that would have been considered racist. We ask only we be given the same respect other organizations receive. We see joining a Greek organization as an opportunity. Those who do not like our policies and practices need not be vengeful. If you don't like *us, don't pledge.

It is our hope that those who played this "prank" have the simplicity of manner, strength of purpose and beauty of character to realize that thiT is not a Greek or Independent controversy. Respect for others is a human issue Sincerely, The Dorian Sorority

Dear Editor: On behalf of the Sigma Sigma sorority, I would like to address the recent incident involving a set of sorority letters that were stolen from the Sigma House. This incident occurred on a late evening last spring, only days after students moved out of the house. I would also like to call attention to the other five fraternities and sororities that lost their letters that evening as well. I'm sure that I speak for all of the fraternities and sororities involved when I express how outraged and frustrated I am.

All of these letters were worth a great deal monetarily; anywhere between $200 and $1000. This is not to mention the amount of time involved in getting the materials needed and making them. However, the most important issue here is what the let-

ters mean and what they stand for.

Being a proud member of the Sorosis Society, I know that our letters mean a lot. Our letters are a symbol of our sorority's history which is the primary foundation of all that we stand for today and what we strive to stand for in the years to come. Not unlike most of the Greek organizations on campus, our foundation is friendship. This also includes an array of other qualities we pride ourselves on such as love, trust and support—just to name a few.

The fact that these letters were stolen, no, ripped, from our house just proves to me the lack of respect for the Greeks here, at Hope. Obviously, whomever is responsible knows nothing about their meaning and value and my question is: why

should they care? I seem to remember being taught'in nursery school the simple concept: "if something does not belong to you, then do not take it."

The message that I'm trying to convey here is that it outrages me that this happens often, almost yearly, and that there is not much we can do about it except install an alarm system on our rooftops. I do not believe that this is the right solution.

Simple respect goes a long way.

So does friendship. We do not expect to get our letters back, thought that is ultimately what we'd like. However, I do hope that there will be a change of attitude on this campus concerning the Greeks.

Sincerely, Kelley Raymond 096)

WOMAN'S BEST FRIEND: Heidi Bronkema and leader dog Hampton have been nearly Inseparable since June.

Student gets top dog

by Jim Riekse news editor A m o n g the many new faces at Hope this fall is an almost two year old who pants and finds Milkbone biscuits simply delectable. No, it isn't a deranged child prodigy, but instead a golden retriever named Hampton.

Hampton is currently under the t u t e l a g e of his m a s t e r , H e i d i Bronkema ('97), w h o is giving her guide dog a crash course on the h i g h w a y s and b y w a y s of H o p e College. Bronkema, w h o has every inch of campus memorized, will direct Hampton as to the proper way to get to various destinations.

Heidi hopes that by semester end, Hampton can simply respond to the c o m m a n d , "To E n g l i s h . " At the present time though, Hampton is more of a burden than a godsend.

"Until he is trained, it is much more difficult to get around with him than it would be with a cane," Bronkema admits. "It's like learning to read backwards after learning the right way. Plus, he is still a puppy and is easily distracted by squirrels and people petting him."

B r o n k e m a has had Hampton since J u n e , a f t e r his graduation from the Leader Dogs for the Blind school in Rochester. All dogs accepted into the school are first carefully screened for personality. Dogs that are too hyper or too lethargic are rejected. Each dog must also pass three to four physicals. Once a leader dog proves fit, the school spends four months training it. All this is by no means cheap: a trained leader dog is worth about $12,000.

This amount might put the dogs out of reach for many in need, except for the generosity of Lions Clubs across the nation, who pick up the tab.

Bronkema hopes that Hampton can help with other tasks besides just leading her to class. "He could help find empty chairs or drinking fountains, things other people never have to think about," Bronkema said. "But all of that depends on me, because a dog is only as good as it's trainer and master."

Hampton, like most leader dogs, was not trained to protect. In fact Brohkema was told that walking alone at night with her dog would

Described as a marketing scam by some, a great concert by others, to Sue Checklick ( 4 97), Woodstock " 9 4 was three days of music, mud, and volunteering.

"It was more chaotic than anything I've ever been to," Checklick said. "It was a great concert."

Checklick, of Poughkeepsie, N.Y., o n l y o n e h o u r s o u t h of Saugerties, was a small group counselor in the missing persons tent at the much-hyped concert that took place from Friday, August 12th, to Sunday, August 14th.

Checklick applied for the volunteer position on the recommendation of the advisor of a peer counseling group she was involved with in high school. She was given free entrance to the event, a tee-shirt, and meals and lodging for the full three days of the concert.

With an excess of 250,000 in attendance, people getting separated from friends or family was all too common. Checklick recalls worried parents w h o hadn't seen their children since they had been pulled into the mosh pit six, ten, even thirteen hours earlier.

"It w a s more like a c a l m i n g thing for those who have been lost, or lost people," Checklick said of her role as counselor.

Missing people convinced that

they would not be able to meet up through the night, while another with their party again also had the woman, who had paid for her ticket, option of going to the homeless actually worked in the tent with the shelter, off the site, where they volunteers while hoping to meet her could cat and get a free bus ticket sister. to their hometown.

Habitat builds new campus chapter

by Mellissa Endsley editor-in-chief "Our love should not be just words and talk, it must be true love which shows itself in action."

— I John 3:18 Hope students have taken these words to heart by establishing a campus chapter of Habitat for Humanity, an international Christian housing ministry that seeks to make providing shelter for those in need a matter of conscience and action.

A c c o r d i n g to J a s o n K o o y e r ('95), the founder of Hope's Habitat for Humanity chapter, the idea for a campus chapter came after several students worked with the local Lakeshore chapter during the 1993-94 academic year.

"We started with just a f e w

people w h o were interested in helping out the Lakeshore chapter with homes in the area," Kooyer said.

"Then, when we started advertising it around campus, the interest was really large."

The group then applied to the international Habitat for Humanity board for status as an official campus chapter. They were successful and now Habitat for Humanity is an o f f i c i a l student o r g a n i z a t i o n funded by the Student Congress Appropriations Committee.

"We spent many of last year's meetings discussing future goals and filling out the paper work that was required to become a campus chapter," Kooyer said.

Founded in 1976, Habitat for Humanity builds and rehabilitates low-income housing with volunteer labor, management expertise and

tax-deductible donations of money and materials.

Low income families and volunteers work together for Habitat for Humanity, building homes in an equal partnership. Families are chosen for the program through an application process which examines their level of need, their willingness to become participants in the program and their ability to pay off the loan.

Last spring, seven Hope students including K o o y e r participated in a Habitat for Humanity project in Starkville, Miss. They teamed up with 17 members from the University of W a s h i n g t o n ' s Habitat for Humanity group and were able to work on three houses during their seven-day stay.

Junior makes film debut as the superhero "Dutchboy"

by Nina Bieliauskas staff reporter Many people here in Holland have worn Dutch attire at s o m e point in the past, but only one Hope student can claim to have derived superhuman power from the experience.

In many area stores, such as W a l g r e e n s and O t t a w a V i l l a g e Pharmacies, the movie "Dutchboy" can be seen on the shelves.

"It is a mockery of superheros," said Denny Rietman ('96), star of the recently released movie that now runs $19.95.

Rietman, w h o is of Dutch ancestry, was paid $ 1 and granted royalties to sign over his rights to this private production created by three friends. After working on the film

for about a year, it was finished 'right before Tulip Time this summer and snatched up by Leben Productions, located in Saugatuck.

This superhero spoof began as an idea in the mind of Jeffery Gural, an alumnus of the University of

works for Leben Productions. Interesting special effects add to the movie's mystique.

The movie, reminiscent of "Superman," begins with a town in the country of Holland facing complete destruction, as the d i k e is about to break. In an attempt to save "See It their child, Dutchboy's parents with an open put him in a basket mind." and send him — Jeffery Gural across the ocean.

cut off his hands as a boy for nurturing the weeds in his garden and killing the flowers, and now he is out to kill everyone in the city in an effort to get revenge for his neglectful childhood.

"See it with an open mind," encouraged Gural, "It's just supposed to be stupid...but it is definitely worth seeing."

At the present time the movie isn't selling as well as many would like, but so far there hasn't been any attempt to market it. That, according to Gural, is the next step. There is even some talk of a sequel. * When asked if he would ever star in another movie, Rietman replied, " I ' d like to...It'd be fun to do something like this again if it came along."

POP ART "Nocturne" by Harry Fonseca will be included in the new exhibit, "Our Land/Ourselves" at the DePree Art Gallery.

Artists venerate American landscape

by Sufjan Stevens arts & entertainment editor Thirty Native American artists celebrate their personal and cultural interactions with the earth in the exhibit "Our Land/Ourselves," opening at the DePree Art gallery on Thursday.

The opening reception will be held on Friday in the gallery from 5 to 7 p.m., and a local troupe of Native American dancers will per-

form on the terrace of the DePree Art Center on Saturday, Sept. 24, at 2 p.m.

"Our Land/Ourselves" focuses on the bond between the land and its Native American inhabitants through works which reflect the metaphysical, metaphorical, allegorical and political perspectives of contemporary Native Americans.

The entire collection is similar in tone, theme and energy; the art-

ists in the exhibition all recognize the importance of their specific cultural identities. Many of the paintings agree on land-based themes and depict the Native American culture with vivid colors, usually deep reds and bright blues that compliment more natural tones of the earth.

"Native people see themselves as an extension of the natural world

Now is the time to pick up tickets for the 25th season of the Hope College Great Performance Series.

The season's repertory will feature seven events between September and April and is designed to appeal to the general public while providing Hope students an opportunity to experience diversity in the arts.

"We have a wide variety of artists performing in this year's season," said Valerie McCoy, coordinator of the series. "Each performance will be outstanding."

"Hope College has sponsored The Great Performance Series since 1970. They are committed to making the arts affordable to students, families and the community," McCoy said. "Season ticket prices reflect this commitment to expose all ages to the arts."

The 1994-95 season begins with the newest avant-garde multimedia creation of the Omaha Magic Theatre, "Sound Fields are We Hear," a multi-dimensional theatrical experience which will be performed on Sept 30 and Oct. 1 in the Knickerbocker Theatre.

On Nov. 4 and 5 the Bebe Miller Dance company will perform in DeWitt Theatre. According to the Christian Science Monitor, Miller's choreography "is original and innovative...it embraces all that is best and nothing that is bromidic about post-modernism."

Violinist Charles Castleman is

set to perform in concert on Nov. 19 in Dimnent Chapel. One of today's foremost violinists, he began his career at age seven with Arthur Fieldler and the Boston Pops, performed a solo engagement with the New York Philharmonic at age 12 and has continued to win international acclaim.

The Amherst Saxophone Quartet, described by the New York Times as "first rate in every aspect," will perform a repertoire of music ranging from classical to jazz on Jan. 14 in Dimnent Chapel.

Then, as one of the world's leading early music ensembles, the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra will provide a stylistic contrast on Feb. 9,also in Dimnent Chapel.

Markham & Broadway, duopianists, will join the series on March 11 in Dimnent Chapel after completing three consecutive years of p e r f o r m a n c e with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

The season finale will feature Maynard Ferguson and his Big Bop Nouveau Band on April 7 in Dimnent Chapel. A jazz legend and three-time Grammy nominee, Ferguson and his band will perform a dynamic, powerful evening of big band jazz.

All performances begin at 8 p.m. Tickets for general seating will be available at the door, and cost $12.50 for adults, $10 for senior citizens and $6 for students.

Season tickets are $100 for a family, $40 for senior citizens, $50 for adults and $20 for students. For more information, call 395-6996.

movie review..

Stone's "Natural Born Killers" is naturally disturbing

by Brian Calandra movie reviewer At the beginning of 1992's "The Player," Fred Ward gripes, "Movies today, they're all cut, cut, cut, cut." If nothing else, Oliver Stone's action/horror/drama/love story, "Natural Born Killers," is cut, cut, cut, cut. Rather than tell a linear tale about a husband and wife serial killer team. Stone creates what amounts to a two hour music video that assaults you like a drunk at a bar.

Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis star as Mickey and Mallory Knox, two sexually abused Generation Xers who fall in love at first sight and then, starting with Lewis' decrepit parents, kill everything in

sight. The media follows the story' continue unabated throughout the of their three week killing spree, film and eventually become exand the duo become cult heros. hausting and unpleasant, like an What he lacks in old roller-coaster material.

Harrelson suffers the most, for his charismatic performance carries the film, and he would easily be in Oscar contention if he only had more to say.

Unlike Harrelson, though, she simply becomes ugly rather than magnetic.

Juth-Gavasso had been a volunteer at the Michigan Dunes Correctional Facility near Saugatuck for many years, helping develop and coordinate library services.

For her volunteer work, she was honored by the Michigan Department of Corrections in 1979 and received a Presidential C o m m e n dation from the Michigan Library Association in 1987.

She received a Lilly Grant for Library Enhancement during 1988-89. In 1991, she was one of only 70 persons nationwide invited to attend the conference "Litigation, Justice and the Public G o o d " in San Diego, Calif.

Juth-Gavasso was affiliated with the American Sociological Association; Society for the Study of Social Problems Michigan Library Association; American Association of University Professors; National Women's Studies Association; and American Society of Criminology. Her scholarly work included " C o l l e c t i o n Building: Communication Issues for Librarians and Faculty," published in

"I'd like to think he'd come to my aid," Bronkema admitted. " I think it might be instinctive."

B r o n k e m a plans on bringing Hampton almost everywhere with her on campus, except she is still unsure whether she wants him at Phelps. So far she has steered clear

"Collection Development Strategies for Academic and Research Libraries," Hannelore B. Rader, ed., Michigan Library Association..

She was an active member of Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church, where she was involved in lecturing, religion education and other programs.

Juth-Gavasso graduated from O a k l a n d University with a bachelor's degree in 1968, and held a master's of s c i e n c e in librarianship, master's of arts and doctorate from Western Michigan University.

Prior to joining the Hope faculty, she had been an assistant librarian at Ferris State in Big Rapids.

Survivors include her husband, Richard Gavasso of Holland; parents, Robert and Grace Juth of Iron Mountain; sisters, Gale Green of Freeland, and Nancy and Roger Hunt of Ulby; a brother, Robert and Debra Juth of Hillsboro, Ore.; and several nieces, nephews and cousins.

of letting him lead her in unfamiliar territory.I'm still not completely ready to trust his instincts in areas I don't know," Bronkema said. "On campus there is no problem, since I know where everything is." " M y biggest problem is that everyone wants to pet him when he is working" she said. "When his harness is on, he's doing his job, and its hard when people prevent him from doing his job."

Duplex— My house looks like a fluorescent lighthouse now but I d o n ' t care," Morgan said. "It made me realize there is more going on in this town than I realized."

Last spring. Public Safety arrested a man and found two other homeless people sleeping in the DeWitt Center. The trend continued into the summer, Terpstra said, as officers shooed trespassers out of dugouts in the baseball field.

Darryl Bartlett, Director of the Holland City Mission, attributes the p r o b l e m to an i n c r e a s e in homelessness in Holland. "Holland has gotten the reputation that there are jobs here. People can afford to live here for awhile without a job but then the money runs out."

Numbers are up slightly at the Mission in comparison to last year, Bartlett said. While some fifty-five men, women and children stay at the Mission nightly, half of the beds remain empty.

While many know about shel-

ter p r o v i s i o n s m a n y h o m e l e s s choose not to abide by Mission rules and are not allowed to return.

"We require homeless not come intoxicated and that they actively try to find work and save towards an independent living conditions," Bartlett said. "We cannot allow beh a v i o r that p e r p e t u a t e s t h e homelessness."

Those living on 14th St. say though they know the homeless in most cases are not dangerous, the i n c i d e n t has m a d e t h e m m o r e aware of protecting themselves.

Morgan's neighbor, Becky VanDyke ('96), said she began researching N e i g h b o r h o o d Watch groups after the incident and is concerned about the overall safety of Hope students living on 14th St. "I understand the plight of the homeless, but I hope they would seek out other answers," VanDyke said. " I ' m sorry he's homeless, but at the same time I'm worried about safety."

Habitat— They slept in sleeping bags in a church basement and worked daily from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. doing sheet rock, insulation and building an entire roof from start to finish.

"It was a wonderful experience.

We got to know the people we built the houses for, and we also really got to know each other," said participant Shannon Moses ('95).

Kooyer agreed that the trip was a success. "I feel like I gained more than I g a v e , " Kooyer said. "I went to serve, but came back more satisfied."

Kooyer feels that the positive feelings that result from helping others are a major reason people

b e c o m e involved in Habitat for Humanity. "Students who are looking for a way to help others in need and for a way to strengthen their faith in a positive way, most often find Habitat for Humanity a very rewarding experience," Kooyer said.

Now that Hope has an official campus chapter, Kooyer is looking f o r w a r d to h a v i n g e v e n m o r e people involved this year.

"We're very excited," he said.

"Hopefully the group will be larger than ever which means we can be more helpful that ever — the more people that we can get to help, the more people who are helped."

Last week, in an attempt to halt the onslaught, Clinton reversed the policy.

One actor behaving as such can add spice to a film, as A1 Pacino did in "Dick Tracy," but here they are less than the sum of their parts, becoming annoying and redundant rather than advantageous.

pect of the world w e live in is love; two, it is a morality tale a x la "JFK" which decries the media's influence over the public's perverse interest in catastrophes. A s the former, "Natural B o m Killers" is an instant cult classic which is a must-see for all movie buffs. At the love-story level, the paper-thin plot is whollyunimportant; rather, it is the revolutionary editing, narrative techniques, and bad acid trip tone (only helped, in this case, by over-the-top performances) which make it remarkable.

A s a morality tale, however, the film meets with much less success.

The supporting characters, " g o o d guys," around Lewis and Harrelson

are actually more repellant than the serial killers themselves, so by the end y o u are rooting for the killers, e x a c t l y the b e h a v i o r the m o v i e wants to decry.

Exhibit and d o not compartmentalize the spiritual and the temporal aspects of their existences," says Nancy H. Liddle, director of the exhibition and f o r m e r director of the University Art Gallery, State University of New York at Albany.

W o r k s o n p a p e r by H a r r y F o n s e c a , R o b e r t W. G o p h e r , Conrad G. House, Frank LaPena, Carm Little Turtle, G e o r g e L o n g f i s h , Susan Stewart, Kay Walkingstick and others bring diverse perspectives, varied traditions and tribal affiliations to the exhibition.

For example, Robert G o p h e r ' s "Dancer of Life," done in acrylic and oil, uses pastel tones and subtle strokes of vivid red and o r a n g e highlights to create a majestic landscape of hills and fields. A single

Native American figure placed in dance, offering energy and life to the solid landscape. Many of the w o r k s present similar images of Native American cultures.

A selection of the paintings are strongly political and advocate a change in the current environmental awareness of most Americans.

"The selections in this exhibit take multiple approaches to describing the land/landscape," says curator Jaune Quick-to-See Smith. "It is more rare to find a horizon line than not. It is more rare to find political content than not. It is more rare to find realism than not." Smith feels most of the artists " w e a v e their distinct conceptions in and through an interior view."

European-American aggression and disruption to the land is depicted in m a n y of the p a i n t i n g s

t h r o u g h stark s y m b o l s : b a r b e d wire, skull-faced helicopters or stoic telephone poles. A majority of the paintings are m o r e s y m b o l i c and less conventional.

Almost all of the artists in the exhibit were trained in art schools or universities. Unlike Native American craftspersons w h o w o r k on traditional m o d e s , the artists m a k e d e m a n d i n g a d j u s t m e n t s to reconcile their identities with cont e m p o r a r y m a i n s t r e a m art. T h i s adjustment is not at all a c o m p r o mise, say exhibit organizers, but an extensive and effective collaboration of aesthetics that allow the Native American artist to express his or her experiences in more familiar, progressive forms.

The public is invited to the exhibition, which will continue through Friday, Oct. 7. Admission is free.
