News for the Smith College Community //October 14, 1999

194 Staffers Receive Their Due In 1964, Thomas Mendenhall presided as Smith College's president, Lyndon B. Johnson occupied the White House, and the campus was entrenched in the torrid activism of "The Sixties." That was the year Andy Anderson and George Smith became new employees at the college. Anderson joined the physical plant department in November 1964, as a laborer. In 1967, he became an apprentice painter until 1970, when he was promoted to journeyman painter, the position he holds today. In September 1964, Smith was hired as a laborer in the physical plant and later served as laborer and truck driver for the Botanic Gardens and Central Stores. Currently he is a laborer in the grounds division of physical plant. Smith and Anderson headed a list of employees honored during the annual Employee Recognition Program on September 30 in Sage Hall for multiple years of service, perfect attendance records or outstanding service to the college. In all, 112 employees were recognized for their multiple years of employment here, an amazing 67 were honored for having a perfect attendance record during the past year, and 15 were the recipients of the college's first Employee Excellence Awards given for outstanding service. As for Smith and Anderson, they were recognized for having contributed 35 years of service to Smith College, a lifetime of work for many of us. The recognition ceremony is held once a year at a Community Forum to celebrate employees' service to the college. President Simmons presented awards. The ceremony also honored for 30 years of service Patricia C. Messier, libraries; Paul R. Scagel, physical plant; Diane M. Vermette, Residence and Dining Services; and Frank P. Zabawa, Central Services. Thirteen members of the college received a 25-year pin. Other categories of recognition included college employment for 10, 15, and 20 years. This Weekend Is About Smith This is about Smith. That phrase has been front and center lately and associated particularly with the gala convocation on October 22 that will launch Smith's 125th year and honor 30* remarkable Smith women. But in fact, Smith is not really about gala convocations, it's about teaching and learning, it's about preparing students to live and work in the most humane, responsible and productive ways in the world they will enter when they graduate. So it's important to remind the Smith community that on Saturday, October 23, there will be an extraordinary range of activities and programs during which faculty and students will demonstrate what Smith is really about. The complete printed program for the October 22-24 weekend will be delivered to faculty, staff and student mailboxes October 21. But in the meantime, here's a sampling of what the college community and its visitors -- parents and alumnae -- can see and do during the weekend. On Saturday, October 23, at 9:15 a.m. in the CPA's Theatre 14, Provost John Connolly will introduce "Quantum Leaps: Experiencing the Liberal Arts Today," a series of workshops, demonstrations and talks that will continue throughout the morning. Twenty-minute sessions on each of the topics will be repeated at 9:30, 10:10 and 10:50 a.m. They will highlight engineering and computer science; environmental science and policy; first-year seminars; the Kahn Institute; the Smith College Museum of Art; the Lyman Conservatory; the Poetry Center; the Praxis internship program; the Sophia Smith Collection; "Smith as a World College"; and conservation and information techniques at Smith's libraries. From 11:30 a.m. to noon, again in Theatre 14, Connolly and faculty members will wrap up the program and respond to questions about the morning's activities and the teaching of the liberal arts today. All through the day, to balance the intellectual perspective, visitors may sample Smith athletics. On deck are the New England women's intercollegiate tennis tournament, an equestrian show, the Norwottuck novice regatta crew race, the Volleyball Hall of Fame induction tournament, Smith vs. Westfield State soccer and Smith vs. Our Lady of the Elms field hockey. As if all that is not enough, there are tours of the museum and the plant house, drop-in hours at the Career Development Office, an open rehearsal of Celebrations, a UNITY reception, a Mill River walk, an Asian tea house and food emporium, an LBTA panel, a performance of How I Learned to Drive, an "At the Movies" POPS! concert, a jazz coffeehouse, worship services and special exhibitions in the alumnae house and Neilson Library foyer. Watch for your copy of the printed program so you won't miss a thing. You think this is about Smith? This is about Smith extravaganza! *A late arrival: at the last minute Yolanda King '76, actress, author and president of Higher Ground Production Co., found that a schedule change would allow her to be present for the October 22 convocation. Nobel Chemist to Speak Richard Ernst, who received the 1991 Nobel Prize in chemistry for his contributions to the development of high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, will give two lectures on Tuesday, October 19. At 4:30 p.m., in McConnell Hall 404, Ernst will discuss "Exploring the Dynamics of Biomolecules by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance." At 8 p.m., in McConnell Auditorium, he will give a more general talk titled "NMR Adventures in Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Medicine, or How to Win a Nobel Prize." A reception in McConnell Foyer will follow. In the 1960s, while working as a research scientist in California, Ernst, a native of Switzerland, pioneered the development of Fourier Transform NMR, a critical advance in the sensitivity and applicability of nuclear magnetic resonance technology. Since then, working in Switzerland, Ernst and his research group have continued to develop innovative applications of NMR spectroscopy. These methodologies have had profound effects not only in chemistry, in which they have changed the way molecular structures are determined, but in the fields of physics and biology as well. In medicine, a significant application of Ernst's work is the technique of magnetic resonance imaging or MRI, a highly sensitive, noninvasive method used to produce images of abnormal tissues inside the body. MRI is among the most widely used imaging techniques in medical science today. Ernst is currently a professor of chemistry and research council pre-sident at Eidgenössiche Technische Hochschule, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zürich. Busy Day for Smith Leaders When the Student Leadership Conference convenes on Saturday morning, October 16, participants will have a great day in store for them. Back by popular demand to lead workshops will be Jeanette Jackson, a consultant who also leads seniors of the Interterm Leadership Program, with her "Leadership Tool Kit," and Vicki Suggs from Howard University, who will talk about "Stereotypes and Myths in Women's Leadership." There will also be workshops on public speaking, entrepreneurial skills, problem-solving and guided design and how to write effective résumés and cover letters. The conference will open with registration in Seelye Hall at 9:30 a.m. followed by a panel discussion during which several alumnae will talk about their lives and work. Members of the panel, which will be moderated by Leah Palmer '00, will be Judith Stevens '68, first woman priest at the St. John's Episcopal Church, Northampton; Cheryl Lewy '71, mayor of Larchmont, N.Y.; and Maria-Cristina Cuerda '90, assistant director of the Massachusetts Justice Project, where she works with migrant workers and other disadvantaged people as a legal advocate. Workshop sessions will be at 11 a.m., 1:30 and 2:30 p.m., with lunch for the participants in the Browsing Room, Neilson Library, at 12:30 p.m. The conference's keynote speaker, Elaine Brown, Black Panther Party chair in the 1970s, political activist and author, who will also present a workshop, will wrap up the conference at 5 p.m. in Wright auditorium with a talk about race, gender, class, politics, poverty and power in America on the edge of the millennium. She will discuss what she has lived, witnessed and understood and analyze the nature of oppression in America. Series Opens with SSC Tour Sherrill Redmon, head of the Sophia Smith Collection, will host a tour of the collection on Sunday, October 17, at 2 p.m. The tour is part of this year's "Sundays at Two" series, sponsored by the Friends of Forbes Library and Smith College. The collection is located in Alumnae Gymnasium, which is reached through Neilson Library. The Sophia Smith Collection is an internationally recognized repository of manuscripts, photographs, periodicals and other primary sources in women's history. The holdings document the historical experience of women in the United States and abroad from the Colonial era to the present. Subject strengths include birth control; women's rights and suffrage; the contemporary women's movement; U.S. women working abroad; the arts, especially theater; the professions, especially journalism and social work; and middle-class family life in 19th- and 20th-century New England. Along with a behind-the-scenes tour of the collection, Redmon will talk about the pioneers and more recent developments in the field of collecting women's history and introduce two current exhibitions: one on women's athletics and another on Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton that is timed to coincide with a PBS special scheduled for early November. The event is open to the public as well as to members of the Smith community. The "Sundays at Two" series will continue with a lecture on November 14 at Forbes Library by local author Barry Werth, who is writing a book about literary critic and English professor Newton Arvin, a resident of Northampton and longtime member of the English department at Smith. Duke Engineer to Launch Picker Program Henry Petroski, Aleksandar S. Vesic Professor of Civil Engineering at Duke University, will visit Smith to present "Engineers of Dreams: Great Bridge Builders and the Spanning of America" October 18, at 7:30 p.m. in McConnell Hall. Chair of Duke's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Petroski is a distinguished engineering and history professor. He is the author of more than 70 technical articles, magazine columns, and articles for trade journals and has written nine critically acclaimed books while earning a reputation for his innovative approach to engineering. With titles like The Evolution of Useful Things and The Pencil: A History of Design and Circumstance, Petroski's books have made technology and engineering accessible to everyone-not only the technically inclined. They have given readers a history of technology that, in Petroski's own words, "not only teaches us about the way things used to be done, they also give us perspective on how things are done today -- and how they most likely will be done in the future." Petroski's most recent book, The Book on the Bookshelf, which explores the history and technology of bookshelves, has already won enthusiastic praise. In a review in the The New York Times, Alberto Manguel writes, "Petroski's most recent exploration is a compulsive necessity," and calls him a man with "an eye for common things that surround us and that we hardly notice." Petroski's lecture is sponsored by the Lecture Committee, the offices of the Provost/Dean of the Faculty and Dean of the College, the History of Science Program and Picker Program in Engineering and Technology. The event marks the launch of the Picker Program, the first engineering program ever offered at a women's college. Best Recycling in the State The Five College Recycling Program was named Best College and University Recycling Program in Massachusetts by MassRecycle, the Commonwealth's recycling trade association. Roger Guzowski, program director, accepted the award at the MassRecycle annual event last May at the World Trade Center in Boston. Guzowski said, "The award is the result of all our students, staff and faculty who took the time and effort to separate their recyclables; all our custodians, grounds crews and student workers who collected recyclables and helped get them to market; all our budget managers who helped develop our recycling infrastructure to make the program possible." The program has been in existence since August 1993. Photos Show U.S. History "In the Shadow of Intolerance," photographs taken during the Depression, World War II, and the civil rights struggle will be on display in Hillyer Hall Gallery from October 20 to November 7. The exhibition has been timed to coincide with "What's Next? American Pluralism and the Civic Culture," the national conference on race and ethnicity being held at Smith November 4-6. The photographs are from the collection of Samuel Zaitlin, who with Alice Hearst of the government department and Peter Rose, Sophia Smith Professor of Sociology and conference chair, will host a gallery discussion on Wednesday, November 3, at 7:30 p.m. "I've found that the two most powerful mediums for conveying the sweep, the scope and the intensity of history are photographs and documentary films," says Zaitlin, explaining why he assembled the photographs in this collection. "I never saw the collection as something to fill a house with. Rather, it only made sense to me if these memories of the 20th century could be shared with others, and their intensity felt." Among the photographs on display will be images of an immigration border patrol in 1936, by E.O. Goldbeck; segregated drinking fountains in Albany, Georgia, in 1962, by Danny Lyon; the Martin Luther King funeral procession in 1968, by Ernest C. Withers; and raising the flag on the Reichstag in Berlin in 1945, by Yevgeny Khaldei. Brochures containing information about the "What's Next?" conference are being distributed to Smith students, faculty and staff. A Little Musical Refuge By Adele Johnsen '02 "I hope this music cheers up your day a bit and takes the rain away," announced pianist Jerry Noble before swinging into a lively set of '20s and '30s jazz tunes along with clarinetist Bob Sparkman. Presented as a part of Smith's "Music in the Noon Hour" series, the concert, titled "The Music of Fats Waller," offered its listeners a chance to spend their lunch hour relaxing and enjoying songs by Waller and a few of his contemporaries. From "Ain't Misbehavin'" to "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter," the tunes Noble and Sparkman performed were rich, jazzy, and a wonderful way to cheer up a rainy day. "Music in the Noon Hour" started in April 1992 with the Smith College Chamber Singers' presentation of "The Music of Mendelssohn." Over the years, the series has offered a wide variety of music and performance ranging from 1997's flamenco dancer to last year's readings from French literature. According to David Cline, publicist for the music department, the performances have enjoyed great popularity, drawing "not only students, faculty, and staff, but a number of people from the community as well." Concerts this semester include Kenneth
Fearn's piano performance, "The Music of Chopin"; sophomore
mezzo-soprano Nina Moe's "Songs by Fréderic Chopin";
and soprano Jane Bryden with pianist Noble, performing "Songs
of Gershwin, Porter, Duke, and Hugh Williams." "Music
in the Noon Hour" is free. For a schedule, contact Cline
