8 NFHC June 1995 Campus Notes The game's afoot
Site-clearing is underway in earnest for the Haworth Conference Center and Cook Residence Hall, which will stand between Ninth and 10th Streets east of College Avenue. The project displaces 16 houses, 10 of which are being relocated.
Demolition of some structuresbegan in March. Belt and Beeuwkes cottages,the subject of the accompanying photos, inaugurated the exodus phase of the project by voyaging from their east Ninth Street homes to farther east on 15th Street on Wednesday, May 10. At top right, Beeuwkes eases gingerly onto Ninth Street. At center above, the house travels south past the DeWitt Center on Columbia Avenue. At bottom right. Belt waits to be placed above its new basement, which lies between Columbia and the railroad tracks. Two more homes are going across the street, creating a "mini- neighborhood" that will be bracketed by the Columbia Avenue Apartments to the west and College East Apartments to the north. All of the structures being moved are expected to be ready for use by the time classes begin in August. Those being presented include the historic Keppel House, which contains the offices of the campus ministries staff and will travel east seven lots along 10th Street, to rest west of Gilmore Hall. The Haworth Conference Center is scheduled to be ready for use in August of 1996; the Cook Residence Hall by the spring of 1997.
NFHC June 1995 Alumni Weekend/50-Year Circle The Return
T he timing of Alumni Weekend is no coincidence.
By setting it during graduation weekend, the thinking goes, alumni who have ties to the. senior class — perhaps as parents or grandparents— can make one visit to campus to attend both their Friday-Sunday reunion activities and Sunday's Baccalaureateand Commencement. For those trav- eling a distance, that is no small consideration. That is the practicalreasoning, but there is more to appreciatein the events' relationship in time. Both groups, alumni and alumni-soon-to-be,are in their own way observing Commencement — an event that is by definition a beginning, but in the reaching easier to view as an end. For the graduating seniors, on the verge of post- undergraduate lives, the focus is generally on conclusion — and fairly so. Commencement is the moment to which all their activity at Hope, all then- hard work both within the classroom and without, has led. For the alumni, who have been leading the lives that the graduates are anticipating, the emphasis is on origin. They have taken many paths, yet for a few days celebrate the beginning with others who started in the same place — with their own graduationsof 20,
30, 40, 50 or 65 years before.

Over the course of the year, Hope athletes competed in NCAA post-season competi- tion in 10 sports, a school record. Teams and individual athletes qualifiedfor NCAA action in women's cross country, men's soccer, men's and women's basket- ball, men's and women's swimming, softball, women's tennis and men's and women's track. The spring sports season was highlighted by the MIAA championship performance of the softball team.
