Memoirs recall a passion for French, ensuing adventures

By Alexander R. Edlich | April 21, 1994

Language comes alive in Alice Kaplan, in her new book, "French Lessons." The memoir traces the young child who gargled on her "r"s and who was attracted to the power of the French language as a student in Switzerland and later as "Madame Kaplan" who directs the fluid sound of the language which she had tried to master as a student. Kaplan, a French professor at Duke University, explores her fascination and lust for the language that once felt so foreign. French words - the rolled-"r"s, seductive sounds and quizzical intonation of questions - for her, become tangible much in the same way that writing did for Jean-Paul Sartre in his autobiography, "Words." Throughout the book, Kaplan tells anecdotes of how French allows her to express herself and her inner feelings.

By Colin Grey | April 20, 1994

Working a pottery wheel at the College's Davidson's Pottery Studio, a student can look up at any time and glance through the window at the Connecticut River flowing by. It is a magnificent vista and one of the things students say makes the studio, which lies just across the Ledyard bridge in Vermont, a special place. "It's really great, especially on nice days," said Paul Graeve '96, who has worked at the studio since his Freshman Spring.

Musicians win cash

By Susan Zieger | April 12, 1994

The lilting tones of woodwinds, the searing melancholy of strings and the boom of brass instruments emanated from Spaulding Auditorium yesterday afternoon, but this was no ordinary practice session of one of the College's myriad ensembles. The music was fraught with concentration and determination as students competed not only for critical acclaim but for cash prizes in the annual Culley Competition. The Culley competition selects the best performance by undergraduate musicians in three divisions, brass, woodwind and stringed instruments.

By Hannah Wolfson | April 12, 1994

Last Friday the Hood Museum of Art opened an exciting new exhibit in its Jaffe-Hall galleries.

The exhibit's designers made an interesting choice in the organization of the works.

Selectmen say Hanover police can 'boot' cars

By Jack Vaitayanonta | April 7, 1994

Last Monday, the Hanover Board of Selectmen approved an ordinance allowing Hanover parking enforcement officials to use "The Denver Boot," to make people pay their overdue parking tickets. The Boot is a device parking officials can attach to the front end of a vehicle to immobilize it until the owner pays a fine. "We passed the ordinance to specifically target a select very few chronic violators who continue to park in time-restricted parking spaces," Selectmen Kate Connolly said.
