Health Clinic decreases waiting time, yet still misdiagnosis

By Marina Lakhman | March 1, 1994

Dicks House; The second in a three part series on women's health. The creation of the Women's Health Program last September at Dick's House has decreased the waiting time for students to get appointments and allowed for greater development of programs geared toward women's health, according to the program's manager, Janice Sundnas. Emphasizing preventative care, Sundnas wrote letters to first-year women who indicated on their health forms that they had never had a pap smear or gynecological exam and inviting them to come for an annual check-up at the beginning of Winter term. The annual exam, which lasts approximately one hour, allows the health care provider to discuss medical and family history and look at diet, stress management, exercise, relationships and sexual issues. Sundnas said it is too early to determine how responsive freshmen were to the letter. "In the first month after sending the letter, at least 40 freshmen came in," Sundnas said.

Digable Planets satisfies audience

By Marina Lakhman | October 4, 1993

A fusion of cool jazz with hip hop rhythm streamed out of Webster Hall Saturday night as the celestial Digable Planets and their band Planet Patrol performed. In a show that lasted a little longer than an hour, the group played most of the songs from their debut album "Reachin' (A New Refutation of Time and Space)," including their hit single "Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat)," which hit number 15 on the pop charts last spring. Keeping an audience of over 500 people entertained and often dancing, Digable Planets members Butterfly, Ladybug and Doodlebug seemed to have hit the right notes for even hard core rap lovers. Their sound, which varied from song to song, had the aura of a New Orleans jazz club at one instrumental point and then had most of the audience jumping up and down and waving their hands in unity during "Pacifics," the hit song from the soundtrack to the film "New York is Red Hot." Although the group's cool rhythm can take one away from the harshness of everyday life, the Digable Planets' social influence remained in synch with their beat, addressing the issues of abortion and drug use. The group's insect nicknames are part of their unstated social influence.

By Marina Lakhman | August 24, 1993

Women's basketball coach Jaqueline Hullah left the College last week to become head coach of the women's basketball program at Arizona State University. A search committee, headed by Associate Director of the Intercollegiate Program Jo Ann Harper, is presently reviewing the applications of the four finalists for the position and hopes to namea new women's basketball coach by the beginning of next week, Harper said. "We have conducted a national search and all the candidates are from outside the College," she said. The search committee, comprised of alumni, administrators and coaches, was formed after Hullah announced her resignation at the beginning of July. During her nine years at the College, Hullah led the women's basketball team to five consecutive Ivy League championships from 1986 to 1990.
