“Every one of
these Marys has something to say about particular people,
particular cultures, and particular nations. Every image
of Mary is such an incredible testimony to human history.
She is such a powerful figure in history.”

Associate Professor of Religion Vera Shevzov, "Madonna comes
to Smith College,” Sunday Republican, November 16,
2003
“The idea of the Pleiades and one gas cloud in an interstellar
train wreck already made this nearby cluster an especially
interesting region for astronomers seeking to understand
the details of physical and chemical processes in the interstellar
medium. The presence of a second cloud interacting with the
first cloud and with the cluster creates a situation more
like a three-car crash in a demolition derby, which makes
the Pleiades altogether unique as a natural laboratory.”

Professor Emeritus of Astronomy Richard White, “Stars
and Space Clouds in ‘Demolition Derby,’” Space.com, November 13, 2003
“People with hoarding
have a view that each possession is so unique and so different
that it can’t be categorized.”
•
H.E. and E.S. Israel Professor of Psychology Randy Frost, “Pack
Rat Fever: Compulsive Behavior of Hoarding
is Subject of New Drama,” Hartford Courant, November 12, 2002
“In many cases, parents
are taking an expanded role [in their children’s college
searches] because that’s the
way they have operated as a family all along.”
•
Associate Director of Admission Sidonia Dalby, “Fine
line for parents as kids seek colleges,” Chicago
Tribune, November 10, 2003
“If nobody solidifies
a position by mid-March, I think you are going to find a
real surge and opportunity for someone
like Hillary. It presents, maybe for the first time since
1952, the chance of a candidate coming from outside the pack.”
•
Charles N. Clark Professor of Government Don Robinson, “Door
may be open for Hil,” New York Daily News, November
9, 2003
“Every semester, I have
one student who believes she’s
Sylvia Plath incarnate.”
•
Professor of Women’s Studies Susan Van Dyne, “Sylvia
Plath: Victim or Victor?”, Daily Hampshire Gazette, November 7, 2003
“It’s not that women’s
leagues aren’t a
good idea. It’s just that many of them have been run
into the ground trying to compete for dollars and sponsors
in a very tough economy.”
•
Robert A. Woods Professor of Economics Andrew Zimbalist, “Examining
the current state of women’s professional sports,” Sports
Business News, November 3, 2003
“Barbara Reinhold, director
of career and executive development at Smith College in Northampton,
Mass., advises students
that, since hiring isn’t expected to be much better
for the class of 2004 than other recent classes, future graduates ‘should
pay close attention to what they’d enjoy doing rather
than stampeding to the get-ahead ‘shoulds’ of
more heady economic times.’”
• “The Jungle,” Wall
Street Journal, November 4, 2003
“Sudan has suffered decades
of invisibility and Sudanese lives have suffered a deeply
disgraceful moral discounting. At
its moment of greatest hope, this broken nation must not
be betrayed yet again.”
•
Professor of English Eric Reeves, “Turning a blind
eye,” International Herald Tribune, October 28, 2003
“We’ve been sold
a bill of goods about convenience in American life. Convenience
marketing has shifted people’s
tastes so that eating fresh from the farm is almost something
people need to be re-educated about -- what vegetables
are and what different apples taste like.”
•
Sociology Lecturer Alice P. Julier, “Bringing in the
Harvest, Without a Farm in Sight,” New York Times, October 27, 2003
“Baseball’s
largest challenge is to attract new young fans. Ratings among
the under-18 male demographic are troubling,
and Little League participation is falling, even as the population
grows. Baseball needs to take concrete steps to appeal to
youth, such as starting World Series games earlier and sponsoring
family days where children’s tickets are heavily discounted.”
•
Robert A. Woods Professor of Economics Andrew Zimbalist, “Money
Game,” Forbes, October 24, 2003
“Already missing
is “Joe,” the mascot of the Northampton Cooperative
Bank. The 10-foot-tall, 200-pound, male mannequin clad in
khaki pants and a blue sweatshirt … disappeared the
night before Halloween. No one is sure how it got snatched,
since it took a crane and a crew to ge him up on a Route
9 billboard in the first place. Maybe those engineering students
at Smith College have some idea.”
•
“Peaks & Valleys,” Boston Globe, November

“Reflexed, incurved,
pompon, anemone, spoon, quill and spider are just some of
the many forms of chrysanthemums. The Smith College Chrysanthemum
Show features these plus 6-foot-long floral cascades trained
in the Japanese style …”
•
“Gardener’s Week,” Boston Globe, November
13, 2003
“This is one of the last
chances to see flower color before the long winter sets in.
It’s one of the most beautiful
flower shows west of Boston.”

bloom again at Smith College,” Daily Hampshire
