Hope is where the hearth is

People often joke about living at work, but broach the subject with biologist Harvey Blankespoor and you’ll learn he isn’t kidding.

Dr. Blankespoor and wife Marlene reside in Wyckoff (formerly Arcadian) and Cosmopolitan Hall, a men's dor- mitory that's a leisurelycampus stroll from his office in the Peale Science Center. While the other non-studentsliving in the college's dorms are resident directors, the Blankespoorsare there simply to live and be a part of the students' lives. They made the move in October of 1993, leaving their spacious five-bedroom house for a compact two- bedroom apartment in a dormitory that is home to more than 100 Hope undergraduates.While some wonder how they could give up their space and privacy, the Blankespoors wouldn't have it any other way. "It's interestingto hear the responses that people give," Harvey said. "A lot of them say that they think we're crazy." "But we both love students and had students over to our house a lot," Marlene said. "We felt that this would be a good opportunity for us to interact with them more and have an impact on their lives." Interactand have an impact indeed. They conduct "bread raffles": individualrooms sign up, and the winners receive a fresh, warm loaf of home- made bread. (The contest is especially popular. "Mrs.

Blankespoor is the most fabulous cook I ever met," notes Jamie Oonk '93, the building's resident director.) They've also been known to bring fresh bread or other treats into the building's lounge for whoever happens to be Ping pong, here with senior Jason Nichols of Clarkston, Mich., is one of many ways that Dr. Harvey and Marlene around — or whoever drops by later.

Spread the word

F he five armed men who broke into two homes in Amatenango, Mexico, on Saturday, June 25, had not come to talk to the Mayan Christians living there.

They intended to set an example, and conversationwas not necessary. Each pointed his weapon and pulled the trigger. To Sam '55 and Helen Taylor '59 Hofman, who for 35 years have served the Reformed Church in America (RCA) as missionaries in Chiapas (Mexico's southernmost state), word of the assault was nothing new. 'The persecution has been with us for 25-30 years in both the Tzeltal and the Tojolabal tribes, and also the Altamirano/Tzeltalarea," Sam Hofman said. "It comes from tribal leaders who are chasing out/intimidating anybody who wants to make religiouschange." Dr. Vem '64 and Carla VandeBunte '65 Sterk, who have For the Mayans of Mexico, converting to Christianity means not only rejecting their old faith, but also often their been working in Chiapas for 27 years, have noted the same homes and place within their communities. The difficultieshave not kept large numbers from doing so.
