six t NEWS FROM HOPE COLLEGE, FEBRUARY 1988 The president's wife: Jeanne M. Jacobson

Editor's note: This is the fourth in a six-port series on Dr. John H . Jacobson's freshman year as the tenth president of Hope College .

This issue's story focuses on Dr. Jeanne M .

Jacobson .

^Vver the past decade, the role of an academic president'sspouse has been changing and growing. As a recent New York Times article most aptly stated, the presidential spouse has moved "from helpmate to colleague.”

And that’s a change of status Dr. Jeanne Jacobson is delighted to see.

"If a leader of a college, as John is, can have a family situationwhich demonstrates that two adults who love one another and support one another both have meaningful careers, then that’s a very useful message. And of course, we were both fortunatethat the Van Wylens (the Jacobsons’ predeces- sors) were, and are, such a wonderful couple with continuing interestsin significant careers. "But this is a message that needs to be told, ndt just once, by one presidential couple, but repeatedly. It’s a message that is also being noticed elsewhere and success- fully handled at places like Princeton, Harvard and the University of Michigan. And certainly,Hope’s Presidential Search Committee had expressed no problems or difficultiesabout my having a career.” Last August in his State of the College address, John added his confirmation when he noted, "My wife, by the way, has an earned Ph.D. She answers well to Jeanne (pronouncedJan) or Dr. Jacobson: less well to "Jean”, or "This must be the Mrs.” Jeanne’s collegialitywith John began long before becoming a president’swife, though.

In November alone, Lubbers’ firm recycled 199,560 pounds of paper, saving 1,696 trees, 46,098 gallons of oil, and 798 cubic yards of landfill space. Taking recyclable office paper from the normal trash heap also saves money on disposal bills for Hope. Lubbers officials have noted that some firms were able to cut their disposal costs by more than half by recycling paper.

Hope got involved in the operation after Beals and Gloria Shay, Hope’s reports specialist, began to poll college officials on the possibil ity of recycling paper instead

of throwing it away. “We kept generating tons of reports and wanted to do something more useful than

just throw them out," said Shay, who is also the treasurer of the Holland Area Recycle Center. “We wanted to do something more

than just fill up room in the landfills.” Hope’s program now handles paper from all offices in the DeWitt Center and the Computer Center in Durfee Hall. As the popularity of the program grows, Beals and
