The Hair Affair 11 s iar ted a f e w w e e k s ago . A

fr iend of m i n e on the A n c h o r

staff dec ided lo s lop s h a v i n g he r

a rm pi is, spa rk ing literally hours

of deba te abou l ihe subjec t .

As best I cou ld f i g u r e it, she

chose to not shave he r under-

a r m s because she felt that hairy

armpi ts are natural , and the idea

of shorn a rmpi t s are on ly the

result of social cons t ruc t ion .

M e n , apparent ly , have been

forc ing A m e r i c a n w o m e n lo

shave their a rmpi t s for years ,

bending them to an ins id ious

yoke of s m o o t h u n d e r a r m s .

She s e e m e d to g ive the

impress ion that, if it w e r e n ' t for

the m a l e - d o m i n a t e d cu l ture of

the United Sta tes , w o m e n would

be jus t l ike men , with full , r ich

manes of hair in the c revasses

be low their shou lders .

In response lo he r cha l l enge , 1

provided my ca r e fu l l y re-

searched and cons t ruc t ed ,

theoret ical and quant i ta t ive

a rgument about the val idi ty o f

w o m e n s h a v i n g their u n d e r a r m s ,

an

shou ld a l w a y s shave their

a rmpi t s , or, when wear ing tank

tops, induce o n l o o k e r s ' gag-

re f lexes . Whi le not the mos t

sc ient i f ic cha l l enge eve r tried,

we unde r took the task regard-

less, in the pursui t of s o m e t h i n g

that r e sembled k n o w l e d g e .

T h e two of us found an eager

cha l l enge r lo con l end agains t the

a w e s o m e g rowing migh t of m y

armpi t hair: J a n e Bast ( 4 03) , an

A n c h o r s taf f writer. J ane and I

e a c h shaved our a rmpi t s last

Wednesday .

In a m o n t h ' s l ime, we will

measu re the g rowth , lo see

whose hair g r ew faster , and thus,

win a bold victory f o r one of the

sexes . T h i s compe t i t ion will

s h o w once a n d for all. w h e t h e r it

is men or w o m e n w h o are

supposed lo have bald under-

arms .

M e n , I imag ine y o u ' r e si l l ing

in Phe lps , the library, or y o u r

by poin t ing out its only w e a k -

" I f a rmpi t hair is so g ross ,

why d o n ' t men shave theirs as

I suppose 1 had that coming . I

cer tainly d i d n ' t expee l my

mouth to utter the reply that

watched my lips and t o n g u e

some o ther wor ld , f r o m the part

of myse l f that l ikes to see m e

suffer .

"Well , maybe I wi l l . " It was

all downhi l l f r o m there.

Af te r it was es tab l i shed that I

had the potent ial lo shave my

u n d e r a r m s , a compe t i t i on

quickly look shape . We felt that

nature would de t e rmine w h e t h e r

W h i l e I have been descr ibed

by s o m e as the "Speed Race r of

by sponso r ing a hair. T h a i ' s

Every so of ten a c a m p u s needs a

The col lege is current ly involved

in a m a j o r fund- ra i s ing c a m p a i g n

and seeks to e x p a n d , improve and

restore c a m p u s faci l i t ies , as well as

increase the e n d o w m e n t and add

new bui ld ings . T h e facili ty hover-

ing at the top of H o p e ' s " to d o " list

is the Peale Sc ience Center .

"The sc ience cen te r is our high-

est pr iori ty," said Vice President of

F inance Bill Ander son .

T h e building, current ly located at

the west of H o p e ' s campus , requires

both renovat ion an expans ion .

However , bui ld ing a new sc ience

Anderson e s t ima tes ihe cost of im-

" S o m e m o n e y has been ra i sed , "

Bul tman feels fund- ra i s ing is an

" W e ' r e ask ing peop le on a dai ly

W h i l e ihe sc ience cen te r may b e

not s topp ing there .

A f t e r a $ 3 m i l l i o n g i f t f r o m

T h e r e could be m o r e pro jec t s on

the way. As the s tudent body con-

t inues lo grow, spaces lo h o u s e stu-

dents are d i sappea r ing .

"We ' l l need m o r e hous ing d o w n

of that hous ing : $ 6 to $7 mi l l ion .

t ions, as well as addi t ional mus ic

recital a n d rehearsal space .

W h i l e the need for m o r e facil i-

ties is clear, where to bui ld t hem is

not.

A l though the Peale add i t ion will

b e connec t ed to the current bui ld-

ing, there is no m o r e room lo the

wes t of c a m p u s for any addi t ional

bu i ld ing projects . To the nor th of

c a m p u s is 9lh Street and d o w n t o w n

Hol land , an area ihe co l lege hesi-

tates lo deve lop .

" I ' m reluctant lo m o v e core Hope

sou th of H o p e ' s c a m p u s , a heavy

" W e ' l l try to m e s h with the c o m -

m u n i t y [ lo the s o u t h of c a m p u s ]

ary ," Bu l tman said.

T h e area with the most p romise

for expans ion lies lo the east , be-

enues . .

"I think tha t ' s w h e r e we ' l l see the

Bu l tman said.

" T h e Mar lha Mil ler Center could

A s far as I can de termine , the only

cont roversy that has occurred abou t

g a m b l i n g at H o p e C o l l e g e w a s

m a n u f a c t u r e d by the Anchor . Even

last year , w h e n I passed ou t l i tera-

troversy. N o b o d y cared m u c h one

way or the other. I migh t as well not

have been there last year either. Tha t

m a k e s espec ia l ly a m u s i n g the edi-

A l though I d o have misd i rec ted

I d i s c u s s e d the m a t t e r t w o yea r s

was one that w o u l d not be resolved

by a n y t h i n g o the r than an increase

in the sensi t ivi ty o f peop le ' s con-

an inc rease is go ing to occur , al-

Issues ignored by media in Kalamazoo shootings To the Edi tor :

I read wi th interest your ar t ic le

abou t the s h o o t i n g at K a l a m a z o o

C o l l e g e ( " M o u r n i n g a t r a g e d y , "

Oc t . 27). My interest s tems f rom the

f a c t tha t I h a v e t w o s t u d e n t s at

H o p e , a n d b e c a u s e t he v i c t i m ,

M a g g i e Ward le , w a s a dear f r iend

of my family .

I have not iced that y o u r cove rage

and that of other news organizat ions

for the mos t part , deals wi th the gun

v io lence aspect of the c r ime as well

as the re la t ionship aspect . W h i l e I

find it totally inappropr ia te for guns

to be p resen t on c a m p u s (even in a

c a m p u s securi ty locker) , no cur ren t

or p roposed gun control law w o u l d

have h indered N e n e e f O d a h ' s pur-

chase of the long gun used in this

par t icular c r ime .

T h e aspec t of th is c r ime w h i c h

never s e e m s to b e d i scussed is the

fact that it w a s an evil act, evil and

p remedi ta ted . T h e fact is, evil ex-

ists in our society, and s o m e t i m e s

it is par t of a b igger p ic ture that in-

c ludes menta l i l lness, f ami ly prob-

lems, a l i fe filled wi th v io lence , and

count less o ther contr ibut ing factors.

T h e bo t tom line is, man is capab le ,

for wha teve r reason , of c o m m i t t i n g

evil a c t s and the c a u s e has a lot

m o r e to d o with good and evi l than

g u n con t ro l , re la t ionships , or a n y

other social in f luence .

T h e o ther a spec t ove r looked by

the repor t ing agenc ies , is the cul-

tural d i f fe rences be tween O d a h and

the vic t im. I think that mos t report -

ers d a n c e a round the issue because

they d o n ' t w a n t to b e accused of

cu l tura l insens i t iv i ty or even rac-

i sm. T h i s inc ident does poin t out

tha t w h e n p e o p l e f r o m d i f f e r e n t

cu l tu res da te , it is impor tan t to un-

d e r s t a n d the c u l t u r a l d i f f e r e n c e s

s u r r o u n d i n g da t ing and cour t sh ip .

W h a t m a y b e an i nnocen t da t ing

r e l a t i o n s h i p in o u r c u l t u r e , m a y

c a r r y a m u c h m o r e s i g n i f i c a n t

m e a n i n g to the o ther party, a n d this

is n o sma l l nuance .

Th i s sad even t r e m i n d s us all of

the f rag i le na ture of l ife. O u r world

will be a little less b r igh t because

of Ward le ' s dea th , and it is my hope

that in G o d ' s plan, he r dea th will

have a pos i t ive in f luence for those

of us lef t he re to m o u r n her loss .

regard less of the ou t come , the

has a l inger ing impact on my

In reality, I d o n ' t m ind
