Task force requests faculty input

By Elizabeth Nolan | September 30, 1994

After overcoming initial challenges of over extension and ill-preparation, The Task Force on the Status of Women submitted a report to advisor and Dean of Student Life Holly Sateia in August calling for the inclusion of faculty and staff members on a permanent committee to address women's issues on campus. The task force, created last winter by former Senior Class President Dan Garodnick '94, proposed to study a broad spectrum of issues for two terms and submit its findings by June, 1994. The twenty members of the task force formed subcommittees to study academic, social, health/safety, and extracurricular activities, but the approach proved too inclusive and left members seeking focus and reorganization. "It was much too broad to address the issues," task force member Danielle Moore '95 said.

Vases on display at Hood

By Elizabeth Nolan | July 28, 1994

If you are one of the school of skeptics who thinks art is largely inaccessible and pretentious, think again. Think and then go to the Hood Musuem to see its latest exhibit -- "Grueby Pottery, a New England Arts and Crafts Venture: the William Curry Collection." Consisting of more than 100 original works of pottery, the collection demonstrates that art need not be avant-garde to be appreciated. The collection, acquired by William Curry '57, is probably one of the best known examples of New England art pottery. The pieces are carefully-crafted works, meant to be functional, as well as beautiful. The collection of vases, bowls and architectural tiles produced by the Grueby Faience Company represent what Adrienne Hand, director of public relations for the museum, calls "a focused look at the Arts and Crafts movement." Its works typify the guiding philosophy of the movement that rejected the elaborate tendencies of the Victorian era as well as the factory-produced products popular at the turn of the century in favor of a more honest style.

Chionuma: a campus activist

By Elizabeth Nolan | July 8, 1994

Grace Chionuma '96 certainly was not a shoe-in for the job. She readily admits as much: "This is the last thing I thought I'd be doing sophomore summer." Before she even took office, she was engulfed by controversy. But such is life when you are selected to be president of the Student Assembly, even if it is only for the Summer term. At the time of her appointment, Chionuma was not a member of the Assembly.
