Residents of Mayor's Collage are sure lhal "angels were watching over" Missy Greydanus ( ' 9 7 ) during the wee hours last Wednesday morning when a tree crashed into the roof directly over the couch she was sleeping on. 50 mile per hour winds pulled the 70 to 80year-old tree up by its roots. Cottage residents heard a loud crashing sound at around 3 a.m., but the noise was passed off as thunder until a passerby knocked on their door to see if everyone was alright at 6:45 a.m. residents said. "It woke me up, but 1 thought it was just thunder," said cottage resident Liz Neumann ('97). "It was really scary finding out that Missy was sleeping under there." The cottage, a College-owned home for two years, is located on the comer of 12th Street and Central Avenue. While the maple toppled onto the peak of Mayor's Cottage's roof, extensively damaging the attic and siding of the house, it did not puncture the ceiling. G r e y d a n u s , who had fallen asleep on the couch while studying, was unharmed. "I know it was like angels or something," she said.

S H E ' S A D A N C I N G Q U E E N : Weather (hey were serious or Ughthearted, the wl costumed Taylor 2 dancers put together an unforgettable performance.
Taylor 2 brings w o r l d class dance t o full Knick A. S X R A S S B U R G E R staff r e p o r t e r
The air in the K n i c k e r b o c k e r Theatre was charged with anticipation on Nov. 4 as a full house prepared for the opening night of the Paul Taylor D a n c e F o u n d a t i o n ' s Taylor 2 performances'. ' • ' ' '••• Courtesy of the G r e a t Performance Series, students, faculty and c o m m u n i t y m e m b e r s had the opportunity to enjoy the choreography of one of the most d o m i n a n t forces in dance, Paul Taylor. Audience m e m b e r s knew they were about to witness a professional performance f r o m the creative mind of one of d a n c e ' s true masters, performed by m e m b e r s of his prestigious second c o m p a n y . Taylor 2. T h e y w e r e not disappointed.
T h r o u g h the e v e n i n g ' s f o u r pieces taken f r o m Taylor's four decades in dance, a wide range of choreography styles were a m p l y displayed. T h e pieces ran the g a m u t f r o m lighthearted and ballet-like to abstract and almost disturbing. T h e first' and' lisV^ieCe," '"Aureole" a n d ^ A r d e n C o u r t " respectively, were laced with a flirty and romantic m o o d . T h i s was reflected by both the flowery, flowing costumes, and airy movement.. T h e music also contributed to this aura; f o r instance, the lively violins and harpsichord of Handel which accompanied "Aureole" hearkened back to an earlier, more gilded era. T h e f r e s h n e s s and innocence
imbued in these spring-like pieces cushioned the contrasting middle t w o dances, which provoked a different response.

You g e t t h e f e e l i n g f r o m watching Del Michel, Hope professor of art, that he is a very happy man, content with what he does. H e wears a large s m i l e u n c o n c e a l e d behind his thick, heavy beard, and can o f t e n be h e a r d w h i s t l i n g a couple rooms away. "I have a great w a y of life," Michel said. "I c o m e to my studio every day with the opportunity f o r creative discovery. Everyone should feel the exhilaration of discovery when they make something or put something together." Michels became interested in art when he was a boy, realizing he could effectively communicate with people through his art. He learned the fulfilling sensation of h a v i n g eye, hand and mind work together. "It is very satisfying to physically manipulate s o m e t h i n g until your eyes and mind tell you it is done," Michel said. A l t h o u g h he w a s h i g h l y in-

volved with art while g r o w i n g up, it w a s n ' t until college at D e P a u w University that he discovered painting. At this point he abandoned the idea of c o m m e r c i a l art and began f o c u s i n g on figurative art and on making art for arts sake. W h i l e in c o l l e g e , he w a s greatly influenced by his teachers and began thinking of b e c o m i n g an art teacher himself. "Teaching is a good c o m b i n a tion of taking and giving. Students learn f r o m me. but I am also able to learn f r o m t h e m , b e c a u s e w e are very compatible at this level," said Michel. Michel's art is very abstract yet still accessible. T h e colors he uses in the majority of his work he described as " e a r t h y " and " w e a t h ered". "They are colors you see every day on rocks or mettle, anything in nature." O n e s e r i e s he d i d u s i n g styrofoam shapes set in geometric patterns resembles ancient architecture and looks like parts of exca-
vated b u i l d i n g s . H e a c h i e v e d an aged look by covering the shapes with corrosive looking colors like green and brown and by altering the shapes with tools or his hands. His paintings use the same type of colors and also seam to focus on nature. O n e of his paintings of the lake a n d d u n e s u se s vibrant and optimistic earthy colors. Primarily light blue and light green, the painting contains irregular box-like patterns covered with sporadic handwriting and lettering giving the painting a lot of air and freedom. "Things are constantly moving in nature, shadows, clouds, wind. T h e handwriting b e c o m e s a metaphor f o r things m o v i n g and constantly changing," Michels said. Michel has found his o w n way in a field where the ever shifting parameters m a k e it a very free and uninhibited expression of what is inside; where prolonged gratification, risk, trial and error, and selfassurance are a m o n g key ingredients for success.

Coltage Resident Director Shelly Spencer's friendship with Cornelius " C o m i e " Schoon began w h e n she w a s a student at H o p e s o m e ten years ago. S h e will not soon forget the kindly gentleman who died last Thursday, Oct. 31, at the age of 92. "About ten years a g o I lived in an o f f - c a m p u s house, and he told us h e ' d take our garbage out if w e ' d go to c h u r c h / ' S p e n c e r r e c a l l s . W h e n the Spencers lived next door to C o m i e a few years ago, he shoveled snow f r o m their driveway and walk every day. This was a service Schoon was happy to perform for everyone in his neighborhood. " H e cut e v e r y b o d y ' s lawn," said Rob Abbott ('97), a s u m m e r resident of Beck Cottage on Columbia. "He said, i don't want to have only
my lawn look nice.' H e took our garbage out every week for us. H e cut the grass for the girls that lived across the street. And he was always really just c h a r m i n g . " It seems that everyone in C o m i e ' s vicinity fell a victim to his kindness, and all have an anecdote about him to share. Saturday's Nykerk Cup Competition was dedicated to his memory. A Lincoln School crossing guard on 11th Street for 16 years, C o m i e w a s often seen wearing a smile along with his yellow uniform. C o r n i e passed a w a y in a local nursing home about a w e e k after suffering a stroke. S e r v i c e s w e r e held Monday. He w a s buried in Pilgrim H o m e Cemetery. A c c o r d i n g to h i s son S i m o n Schoon of Zeeland, C o m i e loved the students, and " w a s j u s t wellliked all around. H e w a s a l w a y s happy and jolly." But C o m i e ' s c h a r m went farther than j u s t his w i l l i n g n e s s to help neighbors. According to Spencer, he loved life and was truly generous.

EnFuego column misses its mark
Dear Editor,
the summer. T h a n k s t o t h e e f f o r t , n e x t y e a r o u r h o m e s w i l l still b e
makes student dizzy
Your C a p t a i n E n f u e g o ( G l y n Williams) might be well advised to occasionally stop b u m i n g and start thinking. His column on second chances needed to end up on the editing r o o m floor. H e detailed the sad j o u r n e y of Richie Parker, who Williams would like us to believe, was wronged by our cruel world. Apparently, Mr. Parker w a s a 17-year-old hotly recruited college basketball prospect until it w a s d i s c o v e r e d t h a t he forced a 16-year-old girl to perform oral sex on him for 15 minutes in his highschool hallway. Williams
attacks the N e w York Post reporter who supplied this information to the p r o s p e c t i v e c o l l e g e s b e c a u s e the records of minors are supposed to be sealed for life. We need to tell the graduate and law schools that w e ' r e applying to if we were ever caught drinking in our d o r m s , but because this kid w a s one year a w a y f r o m adulthood, colleges s h o u l d n ' t be aware that Parker was guilty of a first d e g r e e sexual assault? Williams tries to justify a second c h a n c e f o r Parker by s a y in g that besides the sexual assault, the kid had a great r e c o r d . So did the U n a b o m b e r before he started blowing people up. and I h a v e n ' t heard
The struggle for gender equality Dear Editor, We have recently b e c o m e aware of a growing trend that many people feel that the struggle for w o m e n ' s equality has already been won. We beg to differ for the following reasons: 1. A woman gels paid 77 percent of what a m a n gets paid to do the same job. T h i s data w a s collected f r o m w o m e n w h o had the s a m e e d u c a t i o n , s a m e o c c u p a t i o n and who invested the s a m e amount of time as their male colleagues. 2. O n e in three w o m e n will be raped in her lifetime and this number is rapidly increasing! Violence against w o m e n and sexual assault prove that many slill have attitudes that w o m e n are properly and have
of anybody demanding that we send him back to his cabin. Williams also notes that Parker did a p o l o g i z e to t h e girl he assaulted. M a y b e he got her s o m e c a n d y too. It probably left her feeling all w a r m and fuzzy. We don't think this kid should be locked u p f o r the rest of his life. H e will gel a second chance. We just d o n ' t believe that a year after assaulting a young girl he should run u p and d o w n the court of a division I college and hear the applause from the c r o w d . J i m Riekse ('97) G r e g Paplawsky ('97)
is not over
no voice. 3. T h e fact that women do not feel safe walking the street at night goes to show that there is a lot of work to be done. A study just completed by Public Safety right here at Hope shows that this past Friday, 70.5 percent of the Safety Shuttle riders were female and 89.9 percent of the riders Saturday were female. 4. Our o w n Dean of Chapel, Ben Patterson, has verbally demonstrated h o w w o m e n are not treated equally. His s e r m o n entitle " T h e B e d r o o m " gave the impression that women need to be responsible f o r m e n ' s thoughts and actions. T h i s s e e m s to put w o m e n at fault for crimes that are committed against them by men. We d o n ' t believe that anyone asks to be raped.
This is just a few reasons for why the struggle must continue. Women have only had the right to vote since 1920. W o m e n still h a v e to work harder to gain the s a m e recognition in the w o r k f o r c e . O u r j o b is not done. We, as a society need to realize that w o m e n are just as valuable as men. We need to keep fighting f o r equality for all. We have made progress, but there is still a lot to be done. T h e road is long, and w e fear that it is getting less and less traveled.

H o p e hockey makes history w i t h first game followed by another strike just 30 DAVE GABRIELSE staff r e p o r t e r
Michigan's coaches c a m e in with suits and a businesslike appearance, w h i l e H o p e ' s c o a c h e s c a m e in wearing street clothes and a sense of excitement. H o p e ' s c l u b hockey team played its first g a m e e v e r last S a t u r d a y night. T h e Flying D u t c h m e n hosted the University of M i c h i g a n ' s club team at the Southside Ice Arena just east of the Kent County border. Even though Hope lost 18-3. the game provided s o m e of the most unexpected e x c i t e m e n t that H o p e fans have felt this fall. The spectators weren't really sure how they should act. S o m e sat quietly and cheered f o r their hockey buddies, while others acted in the brutish m a n n e r of true hockey fans should, j u m p i n g to their feet and and e n t h u s i a s t i c a l l y p u n d i n g the
seconds later. Hope could h a v e b o w e d out to M i c h i g a n and given in. but they decided to m a k e their first g a m e memorable. Hope got on the board for the first time in history as Loodeen put the b i s c u i t in the b a s k e t at the t w o minute mark. T h e puck w a s dumped d o w n into M i c h i g a n ' s zone and Loodeen s t r i p p e d the puck f r o m the d e f e n s e m a n and wristed a shot under the top crossbar for the score. Alan Thorpe ('99) provided H o p e ' s other two goals of the g a m e later in the first period and then in the w a n i n g minutes of the second p e r i o d .

goals, respectively. Hope w a s n ' t beaten all over the ice as the score of the game would indicate. T h e D u t c h m e n provided s o m e big hits and good defensive play. Cory Curtis ( ' 9 9 ) really gave the team a boost with his energiz-

" R e m e m b e r , this is our first g a m e and w e still have to figure out what guys are going to do together." T h e g a m e provided a few dramatic fights. M i d w a y through the third p e r i o d , a M i c h i g a n p l a y e r dropped his gloves and skated all the w a y a c r o s s the ice to put a h u r t i n ' o n a f e w of H o p e ' s defenseman. W h e n all w a s said a n d d o n e , Hope lost two of its key defenseman to g a m e m i s c o n d u c t p e n a l t i e s . Kevin Lewis ( ' 9 7 ) and Dobos will n o w both m i s s n e x t w e e k e n d ' s game against Central Michigan. It is still a question as to h o w Hope will accept its hockey program, but the g a m e s promise to be s o m e of the best e x c i t e m e n t that f a n s of Hope will be able to see. T h e Flying D u t c h m e n will return home to play C a l v i n ' s hockey team at the Southside Ice Arena Nov. 16. "The Calvin game promises to be very physical, and it will definitely help to add to the already heated rivalry," Davis said.

Or if not win, then at least finish second behind the powerful Calvin, but instead they allowed the tough Kalamazoo squads to sneak in and beat them out. Both Flying D u t c h m e n s q u a d s finished third in the c h a m p i o n s h i p meet, and the w o m e n finished the season tied for second place in the MIAA with the Hornets. The men, h o w e v e r , finished in third place in the league behind K a l a m a z o o and Calvin. Coach Mark Northuis w a s fairly d i s a p p o i n t e d with the overall outcome of t h e c h a m p i o n s h i p meet from last w e e k e n d . "I w a s not satisfied with our performance at all," Northuis said. "It was a really off race by us due in part to many runners just getting over illnesses. K a l a m a z o o had a really good race and I think that surprised us a little bit." Illnesses certainly affected Jenny Ernst COO). Had she been 100% healthy she w o u l d have possibly run a lad bit faster and thus qualified for the A l l - M I A A first team, Northuis said. She missed the cut off by only 56 seconds.

" W e have prayed a lot and our prayers have been directed toward asking God what we should do and where should go." Slette said. "We are going to keep an open mind and it's all up to God now as to where w e go from here." At this point the school preferred not to speculate on w h o will fill Slette's shoes as the coach of the program which he founded in 1989. W h o e v e r Hope College hires must take over Slette's teaching assignment as well, therefore it is very likely that the school will hire some on the outside and bring him in.
