Hans Comes from Netherlands
To Construct Kites at University
By JEAN HARTWIG
Hans Van de Bovenkamp,
'61A&D, carried a scroll of brown
onionskin paper under one arm
and three library books on kite
construction in the other.
"I have to learn to make a kite
for school," he said. "We're having
a kite demonstration five weeks
from now on North Campus. You'll
have,to be sure to see it."
Explaining that the books were
instruction booklets from the li-
brary, he noted that it was much
easier to take notes on the scroll
in hi.s architecture classes than in
regular notebooks. He also admit-
ted he is a "very bad student."
Comes to University
Van de . Bovenkamp, who came
to the University seven months
ago, is a native of the Netherlands.
He was attending the University of
Amsterdam when his father called
him and asked if he wanted to
move to Canada.
"I told him to forget about it,
I'm ,study my calculus. But I be-
came more and more excited about
it," he smiled with a twinkle in his
eye. The thought of more food and
irproved living conditions pro-
vided some incentive for the move,
but they were primarily looking
for more 'adventure.
When they reached Canada, the
20-year-old worked at a variety
of jobs for almost a year.
Works on 10 Jobs
"I worked at 10 different jobs in
10 months. First I was a painter,
then a laborer, then a carpenter-
until I had to do a, hanging door,
a laborer again, two different posi-
tion in a bank, a receptionist at a
night club, an oil company em-
ployee arnd- a laborer again-but
this time at night."
Smoothing back his unruly
brown hair, he shook his head.
"You can always find a job as a
laborer, but I'd never do it again."
He also prefers the United
States to Canada, where they
"hate" foreigners. He thinks
American people are interested in
people from other countries. They
don't exactly like them, but they
are interested, he said.

ADC Moves
To Change
Vote Process
The Assembly Dormitory Coun-
cil has moved to change their
presidential election from a gen-
eral independent women's vote to
one by the council representatives.
The motion was made as a pro-
posed amendment to the Assembly
constitution, which specifies that
the vote should be taken by all
independent women.
Members of the council raised
objections on the grounds that
removing the vote from the wo-
men will tend to- reduce interest
in Assembly.
But others pointed out that wo-
men in dormitories do not know
the candidates for president well
enough to be able to judge >their
capabilities. The vote on the mo-
tion will be taken at next week's
meeting.
Swim Club
Plans Show
The Michifish will take a swim
tour of an attic, led by the friend-
ly comic book ghost, Casper, on
May 15, 16 and 1'7.
Using projected slides as scen-
ery, the synchronized swimmers
will swim through "Attic Antics",
including the discovery of an an-
cient music box and a ride on a
bicycle built for two.
The script is a rhyming com-
mentary by Casper himself, who
stirs up the confusion responsible
for the antics. He finds an old
picture album, a pair of high but-
ton shoes and an old phonograph,
all with appropriate swimming
numbers.
Finally, for a grotesque and ro-
mantic touch, he completes his
trip by uncovering the family
skeleton and some forgotten love
letters,
Show solos will be done by Ann
Phillips, '61, in the Music Box
number and Sally Hanson, '61, in
Cupid's Caper.

ers and a "cute" sister, who he
thinks is about 14 years old, pres-
ently live in Canada where his
father is an elementary school
teacher and "works in the gar-
den." Another brother also attends
the University.
Explaining why he decided to
come here to school, Van de
Bovenkamp rubbed the front of
his inside-out Michigan sweat-
shirt. "I chose this one because it
was so 'cheap,' he quipped. Every
time I say it, I get sick to my
stomach. The $600 tuition is an
awful lot of money."
But I do live more cheaply than
other students, he explained. Four

"Sometimes we invite girls to
dinner, then ask them to clean up
the house. Isn't that awful?" he
chuckled with 'his green eyes
twinkling.
Describing the house, he noted
the two huge 30 by 13 foot rooms,
three bathrooms, a dressing room,
dining room, kitchen and base-
ment. We also have -one of those
"how do you call it?-room of
glass? Oh, yes, a solarium."
Asked about his plans after he,
leaves the University, Van de Bov-
enkamp said lie intends to take
"a long holiday." Since he spent
a year working in Canada, he in-
tends to take some extra design
courses this summer to make up
f or the lost time.
Gets Satisfaction from Job
"Work is really a pleasure for
me," he confessed. "I find a lot
of happiness from the satisfaction
of a job well done; don't you?"
Noting that he was especially
impressed with the comfortable
living conditions in the United
States, he added that he hUs al-
ways wanted to live in Paris,
Copenhagen or Rome. He also
liked Amsterdam very much and is
disgusted when people mistake
him for German or Swedish.
"After all, I'm proud I'm Dutch,"
he concluded, hurring away to
build his kite.
